Along with Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav and Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Reddy has also been selected as reserve for the ongoing three-match Test series against New Zealand and they will travel with the team and will also be seen practicing with the players. Now captain Rohit Sharma has given a long term plan regarding this and said that the team has a strong group of batsmen and he wants to create a similar group in fast bowling also. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding traveling reserve players Captain Rohit said in the press conference before the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, “There are a lot of options when it comes to batting. We want to do the same in bowling also. We want to build bench strength where if anything happens to anyone tomorrow, we don’t have to worry. The captain further said, “We want to keep Mayank, Harshit and Nitish with us, because we are thinking of taking them to Australia, we want to build bench strength, especially with fast bowlers. We have 8 or 9 options, not just 3 or 4. Like batting, we want more options in bowling also.” “We don’t want to be too dependent on a few players,” he added. It is not right to do this. Looking at the future, we want to try to ensure that we get the right players.” This is why India has fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna for the three Test matches against New Zealand. Present as a reserve player for the series. Rohit said, “Tomorrow if we feel that he is ready to play that role (in place of the injured fast bowler) then he should be ready for it. Of course he played some matches before our announcement.

Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the team for the remaining two Test matches against England. But the management has decided to drop some players including experienced batsman Babar Azam from this team. Many cricket fans are considering this decision of PCB as right, while some fans are considering it as wrong. On the other hand, now Pakistani opener Fakhar Zaman has given a big statement regarding this matter. To strengthen his point, Zaman has said that India never kept Virat Kohli on the bench in difficult times. Fakhar Zaman supported Virat Kohli Let us tell you that after Babar Azam was ruled out of the remaining two matches of the Test series against England, Fakhar Zaman has shared a post on his official X account. In this post Zaman said- It is worrying to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India did not keep Virat Kohli on the bench during their difficult period between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21 and 26.50 respectively. If we are considering sidelining our key batsman, who is Pakistan’s best player ever, it could send a deeply negative message to the entire team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button. Instead of weakening our key players, we should focus on protecting them. It’s concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn’t bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan… — Fakhar Zaman (@FakharZamanLive) October 13, 2024 Pakistani team for the second and third test matches Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafiq, Hasibullah (wk), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Noman Ali, Sam Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Aga and Zahid Mehmood.

Meanwhile, young players have also been given a place in the team for this series. There are some players who have got a place in the team, but it is very difficult for them to get a place in the playing eleven. Let us know which will be those 3 players who will not be a part of the playing 11 in the IND vs SL series. Here’s list of 3 players who will not be part of the playing XI in the IND vs SL series 3. Washington Sundar Washington Sundar (photo source: X/Twitter) Washington Sundar performed brilliantly in the match against Zimbabwe. He was also given the Player of the Match award in this series. But it is difficult for him to get a chance in the series against Sri Lanka. Because for this series, Akshar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi have been given a place in the Indian team.

T20 World Cup: This match winner sitting on the bench will prove to be a trump card for India in Super-8
Team India has confirmed its place in Super-8 Indian team (Pic Source-X) Team India has confirmed its place in the Super-8 by defeating USA in the match played on June 12 in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, the best spinner Kuldeep Yadav did not get a chance to play in a single match. Everyone knows what wrist spinners can do with their balls. Meanwhile, former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla believes that wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be India’s favorite specialist spinner when Team India plays in the Super-8 of the T20 World Cup. He said that the conditions in New York were not favorable for spin bowling, but now Indian spinners will show their prowess in this tournament. There wasn’t that much need for spinners in New York, but… “The pitch in New York was very dangerous and the way India performed on that pitch and won three out of three matches, we have a very good chance of progressing,” the former Indian cricketer told media on the sidelines of the IISM convocation in Mumbai on Thursday. He further said, spinners were not needed that much in New York, but once you reach the second stage for the Super-8, spinners have a big role to play in the West Indies. Our spinners will come into play now. He chose Kuldeep Yadav as his first choice instead of Yuzvendra Chahal. Chawla said, honestly, only one spinner will play and I think Kuldeep will be the first priority because of what he has done in the last one and a half years. You have Axar and Jadeja who can give you depth in batting, so I think Kuldeep will play. Let us tell you that India has to play one more match in the group stage against Canada, which will be played on June 15.
‘If you have to bench Shadab then do it’ Former Pakistani legend made a big statement before the T20 World Cup
T20 World Cup is starting from 1 June Shadab Khan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and well-known cricket commentator Rameez Raja has made a big statement about Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan. It is worth noting that before the T20 World Cup 2024, Shadab has failed to make an impact with his performance. Shadab’s performance in the recent four-match T20 series against England was disappointing. Rameez says that Shadab has wasted the opportunities he got at number 5 in the Pakistani team and if he has to be benched in the T20 World Cup, then so be it. In the two matches played against England, Shadab was able to score only 3 runs, while he was out on a duck once. Before T20 World Cup 2024, Rameez Raja made a big statement about Shadab Khan Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Rameez Raja said about Shadab Khan through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The middle order batting flopped in the fourth T20 match against England, due to which there was a shortage of runs and we lost the match. Imad Wasim should be selected for all the matches. You can promote Sam Ayub in batting, because Shadab does not fit at number 5. He has missed the opportunities he got at this number. Rameez further said- If a proper batsman comes at number 5, then Pakistan cricket team will get more balance. I do not understand what is Shadab’s role in the team. He is not able to perform at number 5 and is out of form. If you have to bench Shadab then do it. Number 7 can be his best batting order, he tries to play like a slugger. Pakistan Cricket Team for T20 World Cup 2024: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhan Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan.
