Josh Tong has not been seen playing in international Test cricket for a long time due to injury.
England’s experienced fast bowler James Anderson is going to retire from international Test cricket after the first Test of the three-match Test series against West Indies in July. He bowled excellently in international cricket and had many achievements to his name. Let us tell you, James Anderson has taken 700 wickets in international Test cricket.
However, now after the retirement of James Anderson, the England team will also have a big responsibility. It will be very difficult for any player to replace James Anderson in Test cricket, but the England team would like to give a chance to many players who can bowl brilliantly for their national team in the future. At the top of this list is the name of Josh Tongue, whose performance in international Test cricket has been very good so far.
However, due to injury, Josh Tong has not been seen playing in international Test cricket for a long time. Let us tell you, Josh Tong played his last international Test match against Australia in July 2023. After this, neither was he included in the team in the series against England this year, nor will he be able to participate in the limited overs series against New Zealand, Ireland and West Indies to be held in the coming years.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has issued a statement in which they have said, ‘Josh is currently injured. The problem has started again in the same place where he was injured earlier. Nothing can be said about when he will return to action.
Josh Tong will have to be fully fit as soon as possible
Josh Tong made his Test debut against Ireland and took 5 wickets in the second innings. Not only this, he also bowled very well against Australia and many people praised this young bowler.
The England team has many good fast bowlers, but apart from domestic cricket, Josh Tong has performed very well in the international format as well and the England Cricket Board would also like that the young fast bowler should become fully fit as soon as possible and join the national team. Come back.
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
