Nathon Lyon. (Photo Source: BCCI) Nathan Lyon's eagerness for Test cricket has never been more pronounced as he prepares for a comeback following the calf injury that prematurely ended his Ashes campaign earlier this year. Anticipating his return against Pakistan, Lyon is poised to play a pivotal role in Australia's bowling attack. Optus Stadium in Perth, the venue for the inaugural Test, has proven to be a successful ground for Lyon, where he has claimed 22 wickets in three matches. Despite his past successes, Lyon acknowledges the formidable challenge posed by Pakistan, particularly their star batter, Babar Azam. Babar, who recently relinquished the captaincy, boasts an impressive average of 44.38 in ten Tests against Australia. Lyon, recognizing Babar's prowess, described him as one of the world's premier batters, especially against spin. Lyon views him as the top player in the Pakistan lineup and acknowledges the significant challenge he presents. "Babar

Sai Sudarsan. (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) On Thursday, November 30, Sai Sudharsan , the young cricketer from Tamil Nadu received his first call-up to the Indian team. He has been selected for India's ODI squad for the South Africa series to be played in December. Sai, who played a remarkable innings of 96 runs for Gujarat Titans in the final of the 2023 Indian Premier League, expressed his excitement. He mentioned that he was speechless but also acknowledged that there is still room for improvement in his game “It is a great feeling, and I am a bit lost for words. It is a dream come true for me, but at the same time, this is just the beginning, and there are many areas where I need to improve,” Sai Sudharsan told Sportstar in an interview on Thursday. Gujarat Titans acquired Sai for INR 20 lakh, and he proved to be a valuable player for them. His performances not only earned him praise but also a contract with Surrey for the final three matches of the 2023 County Championship,

Shane Dowrich. (Photo Source: Twitter) In a recent development, the 32-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from the West Indies, Shane Dowrich, has decided to stop playing international cricket right away. He was initially selected for the upcoming home ODIs against England but has withdrawn from the team. The CWI selection panel has decided not to pick a replacement for him in the three-match series starting on Sunday in Antigua, December 3. Dowrich, a stylish player with the bat and a very safe hand behind the wicket, earned a recall to the ODI squad based on his excellent performance in the Super50 Cup, where he scored 234 runs in five innings at an average of 78 and a strike rate of 91.76. Shai Hope will now have to handle both captaincy and wicketkeeping duties as Nicholas Pooran is currently not available for ODIs. In Test cricket, Dowrich played 35 matches from June 2015 to December 2020, scoring 1570 runs with three centuries and having 90 dismissals behind the wickets. His best

Northern Superchargers Men and Welsh Fire Men from The Hundred 2023 (Photo Source: Twitter) The Hundred has become popular among the players and the cricket fans in England but it hasn't made it to the hearts of the global audience as yet. Lancashire Chairman Andy Anson felt that the Hundred should become a T20 competition from 2025. For the unversed, the eight teams in the Hundred are owned by the English Cricket Board (ECB) and run by boards comprising county representatives and independent members. However, the league could soon welcome private investors. "It would make absolute sense. I think the format was an unnecessary creation. It was there to create a difference between the Blast and the Hundred… I think we are past that now. You won't even need to change the branding of it: it could still be called the Hundred," Anson told LancsTV, Lancashire's in-house channel. "I think it should be T20, just to fall in line with this game that is brilliant.

Imad Wasim. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Imad Wasim, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket, is now set to feature in the next edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) and will be playing for the Melbourne Stars. He will be joining the team after Christmas for the remaining matches in the tournament. With 121 T20 and ODI games under his belt for Pakistan, Imad brings a wealth of experience, coupled with valuable lower-order batting skills that complement his crafty left-arm orthodox bowling. Additionally, he possesses the rare ability to bowl with the new ball during the power play, a skill possessed by very few spinners in world cricket. "With Liam available for the first three matches, we identified Imad as a player who could come in and perform a role for us with his left-arm spin and lengthen our batting lineup. I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of Pakistan fans in the crowd at the MCG with Imad joining his former national teammates, Usama

(Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) Former Australian great and three-time World Cup winner, Ricky Ponting, believes that Cameron Bancroft should be chosen as David Warner's replacement in Test cricket when Warner retires in January. Bancroft was the highest run-scorer in the Sheffield Shield last summer, scoring 945 runs, which was almost 300 more than the next-best player. Despite Bancroft's impressive domestic performance, he was not selected for the Ashes in June, as left-hand batter Marcus Harris was chosen instead.

Rahul-Dravid. (Photo Source: Twitter) In a recent update, it's been revealed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has asked Rahul Dravid to continue being the head coach of the Indian cricket team. The BCCI approached him last week, offering an extension with no specific end date mentioned. However, it's not confirmed yet if Dravid has agreed to the offer. The main reason the BCCI wants him to stay is to keep the structure he established over the past two years intact. If a new head coach comes in, it might disrupt the plans Dravid had put in place. If Dravid accepts the offer, his first task in this extended role will be leading the Indian team on their tour to South Africa. The tour includes three T20Is and ODIs each, followed by two Tests in Centurion and Cape Town. Dravid became the head coach after Ravi Shastri in 2021, and his initial two-year term ended with the ODI World Cup where India finished as runners-up. If he continues, it's likely tha

Australia. (Photo by Robert Cianflone/Getty Images) Australia lost to India and South Africa in their opening two games of the ODI World Cup 2023 and were in a state of bother. They needed something extraordinary to turn things around and that’s exactly what they did. The Pat Cummins-led side managed to win nine consecutive matches and defeated India on the night of the final in Ahmedabad to lift their sixth world title in the ODI format. Meanwhile, Australia coach Andrew McDonald revealed the dressing room situation after their back-to-back defeat in the start the tournament. He mentioned that the team never panicked and believed that they were on the right track despite the two losses. The 42-year-old also mentioned that there was no blame game in the dressing room as the team was united to overcome the situation. “There was a get-together post-game (after the South Africa loss). But once again, that was really just to reinforce that we were on the right path. It was about, ‘L

Ravi Shastri (Photo Source: Twitter) Former team India head coach Ravi Shastri expects the national team to lift a World Cup soon. Notably, the Rohit Sharma-led side played some brilliant cricket in the ODI World Cup 2023 but a batting failure on the night of the finals cost them the coveted trophy. Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne built a sensational 192-run partnership as Australia won the match by six wickets. The players were devastated following the loss as Mohammed Siraj, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were spotted shedding tears. However, Shastri motivated the Men in Blue after the loss and stated that a World Cup trophy is just around the corner if the players keep playing with the same intent. He also cited the example of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar and how he won a World Cup on his sixth attempt.  “It was heartbreaking but a lot of our guys will learn, the game moves on, and I see India winning a World Cup very soon. It might not be a 50-overs (one) that easily beca

Suryakumar Yadav. (Photo Source: Pankaj Nangia/Getty Images) Suryakumar Yadav was appointed captain for the ongoing T20I series between India and Australia and the flamboyant batter has done a commendable job so far, taking his team to a 2-0 lead with three games to go. Suryakumar has received praise from cricket experts for some of his field settings and bowling changes during the course of the first two games in Visakhapatnam and Thiruvananthapuram. Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna didn't have a great start to the series but bounced back strongly in the second game. After the match, the Karnataka cricketer praised Suryakumar's captaincy and said that his leadership style is quite similar to how he bats. "I think it shows in the way he (Suryakumar) bats is very similar in his captaincy as well. He trusts his players, backs all of us to do what we want to do and he's there right behind us to support if there's anything going wrong," Krishna was quoted as say

Notably, Shakib is not the first one to enter into the domain of politics as t he trend of a cricketer turning politician is nothing new in Bangladesh cricket - BCB president Nazmul Hassan has been a MP since 2009 after he got the nomination from the Kishoreganj constituency while  BCB director Shafiul Alam Chowdhury has a nomination for the Moulvibazar seat.

Ahead of the second T20I, young left-handed batter Tilak Varma emphasized the importance of maintaining a clear and straightforward mindset. Varma shared insights into his strategy in the first T20I, stating that his mindset was to take charge when the leg spinner was bowling because the team wanted him to score ten runs per over in that situation. “My mindset was like, in that situation, the leg spinner was bowling, so I want to take charge because we want 10 per over in that situation. So at that time my mindset was clear. If the leg spinner is bowling, I'll go for him. So for fast bowlers, settled batsman, captain Surya bhai [Suryakumar Yadav] was batting.

Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: Irfan Pathan/Instagram) Australia emerged victorious in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 final, securing their sixth ODI World Cup title in a pretty one-sided match at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19. Former India all-rounder and renowned commentator, Irfan Pathan praised Australia's great planning, stating that India succumbed to a team with a superior game plan. “I think India lost to a better-planned game. Australia was a better-planned team. The way they planned, starting from the toss, I don’t think any other team could come close to that kind of planning,” Pathan said in an interview with Star Sports. Posting an average 240 runs in the final, India couldn't contain Travis Head's onslaught, who scored a brilliant century. Marnus Labuschange's gritty half-century further bolstered the Australian innings, leading them to a comfortable six-wicket triumph. Pathan pointed out that India missed an o

Pat-Cummins. (Photo by Robert Cianflone/Getty Images) Recently Australia clinched their sixth World Cup title on November 19 by defeating India in the final. Despite being unbeaten in the tournament until then, India failed to handle the pressure on the big day, as Travis Head's magnificent century helped Australians chase down a target of 241 with six wickets remaining. Following their World Cup triumph, an Australian media outlet posted a derogatory and offensive comment about Team India, titled 'South Australian Man Gives Birth To World Record 11 Sons'. The post was liked by Australian cricketers Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Finch, while reports suggest that Australia's captain Pat Cummins initially liked the post but later unliked it after it gained widespread attention. The post has since gone viral, much to the displeasure of Indian fans. pic.twitter.com/bbHWYA2rcB — Out Of Context Cricket (@GemsOfCricket) November 24, 2023 from Cricket News: Today's T

When asked about his career highlights in the IPL, he emphasized that playing in different conditions and batting positions was a significant achievement for him, and he considered himself very flexible. “I would remember myself as being very flexible in a team environment. I would bat open as well as in the middle order and lower middle order. That is one area where I take a lot of pride in, contributing to the team, and I cherish that aspect a lot in my career,” he said on The Ranveer Show in a YouTube podcast. When asked if he felt regretful leaving Mumbai Indians and joining Chennai Super Kings, he acknowledged that playing for Mumbai was indeed special. It was a tough d

When asked about his career, he expressed disappointment at how it ended and how the team management treated him. Rayudu mentioned that the team management thought he lacked confidence due to his calm and quiet demeanour, which he called stupid logic. He also expressed disappointment at being dropped from the team after a single bad performance and stated that he never asked anyone for favours. “Everybody's story is going to be different, but I'm happy that I never asked anybody for any favour,” Rayudu said on The Ranveer Show in a YouTube podcast when asked if he should have been given more chances by the team management at the international level.

New Zealand (Photo source: Twitter) Despite playing only ODI cricket in the last two months, New Zealand cricketer Glenn Phillips believes the team won’t have any problem switching to red-ball cricket when they take on Bangladesh in a two-match series. Phillips mentioned that everyone in the team believes in the process and hence, irrespective of the format, they will give their best to get a positive outcome. Notably, most of the players featuring in the Test series were also part of the ODI World Cup, where New Zealand lost to India by 70 runs in the semi-finals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. On top of that, the Tim Southee-led side hasn’t played a single Test match in close to the last nine months and hence, it can prove to be difficult for the Kiwi cricketers, especially playing away from home, in the spin-friendly conditions in Bangladesh.  However, the all-rounder dismissed the case and mentioned that the boys got a bit of rest and spent time with the family and are no

Josh Tongue. (Photo Source : Twitter/@englandcricket) English fast bowler Josh Tongue will miss England's upcoming white-ball tour of the West Indies in December due to an injury sustained during the ongoing England Lions training camp in the United Arab Emirates. Matthew Potts has been selected in the squad as his replacement for the three-match ODI series which will commence in Antigua on December 3. However, the management is yet to announce a replacement for the five T20Is scheduled from December 12-21. This setback is disappointing for Tongue, who delivered impressive performances in his two Test matches during the summer. The 26-year-old had been foreseeing his white-ball debut across formats for England, who are eyeing to revamp their white-ball setup following a poor ICC Cricket World Cup campaign in India, where they have won only three of their nine games in the league stage. His importance to the side was underscored in October after he secured a two-year central co

Rinku-Singh. (Photo Source: Twitter) In the first match of the five-game T20I series at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, Australia set a formidable target of 208 runs in 20 overs. Josh Inglis played a spectacular innings, scoring 110 off 50 balls, and Steven Smith contributed with 52 runs. Tim David's late hits boosted Australia's total. Chasing the target, India faced an early setback with opener Ruturaj Gaikwad being run out without facing a ball. However, a brilliant 112-run partnership between captain Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan brought India back into the game. Suryakumar Yadav played an amazing innings of 80 runs off 42 balls, and Rinku Singh's quick 28 off 14 balls secured a thrilling two-wicket victory for India. This win gave India a 1-0 lead in the series. Losing skipper Matthew Wade said: It was a good match in the end. Inglis got us a score we thought we could defend but the Indians came hard at us.

Multiple reports claimed that the officials have decided to go beyond Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and that the duo won’t be featuring in T20I cricket anymore. However, with the T20 World Cup 2024, around the corner, the reports have been dismissed as BCCI has given complete freedom to Rohit and Virat to decide on their T20I career going forward.

Matthew Wade (Photo Source: Twitter) After helping Australia win the ODI World Cup final, Travis Head is slated to feature heavily in the upcoming five-match T20I series against India, especially in the absence of a lot of senior cricketers. However, skipper Matthew Wade clarified that he might take a break from the first T20I and there won’t be any pressure on him for doing so. Notably, Head joined the Aussie squad after the first half of the World Cup as he was dealing with a fracture on his left hand. However, upon returning, he got straight into the playing XI and even scored a sensational century against New Zealand in his first match in the tournament. On the night of the finals, he played yet another incredible knock and scored 137 runs to help Australia beat India by six wickets to lift the trophy yet again. Meanwhile, Wade revealed that the team management will have a chat with Head and will learn how he is feeling before deciding the playing XI for the first T20I. The

Courtesy of his consistency and match-winning performances with the bat, Tilak managed to get into the scheme of things for the national team and is now a part of the T20I squad. Speaking about his growth as a three-dimensional player, former cricketer Abhishek Nayar also praised Tilak’s leadership skills. He mentioned that India skipper Rohit Sharma also identified that and often praises him for the same. Nayar also labelled him as a fearless cricketer and believes that the youngster can prove to be an asset for Indian cricket going forward. “Tilak brings two dimensions of his game to the team. Yes, fielding is a part of it and yes, he can bowl, but what is really important when I say two dime

ICC Logo (Photo Source: Twitter) The International Cricket Council (ICC) has introduced a new system to modulate the pace of play. As per the new regulations, which are slated to become active from December 2023, all the teams in the ODI and T20I format will be given 60 seconds to start the new over. In the majority of cases, it has been observed that the bowling team often call for drinks and takes more time than required to set the field and hence, the game gets delayed. To put an end to that, ICC has decided to give five penalty runs to the batting team if the bowling team fails to start the next over within 60 seconds at least three times. The decision was taken in the ICC Board Meeting in Ahmedabad after the  ODI World Cup final. As per Cricbuzz, it is likely to come into effect on an experimental basis from December to April next year. A stop clock will be used to regulate the time that the fielding team is taking and the umpires will eventually warn the captain every time

However, with the end of the World Cup, the BCCI officials are eager to set the roadmap for the future.
