The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played tomorrow (2 August) at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Before this match, the biggest headache for captain Rohit Sharma will be whether Rishabh Pant should be selected in the playing eleven as a wicketkeeper or should he stick with KL Rahul? Meanwhile, before the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a statement on this. He has said that it is a good thing to have such a problem. He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team. So I think it is a good thing to have such problems and I wait for such problems as long as I am the captain.” From these statements of Rohit Sharma, it seems that Rishabh Pant may have to wait for now, because KL Rahul has been performing well as a wicketkeeper batsman for a long time. Rahul last played the ODI series in South Africa. At the same time, Pant played his last ODI international match in November 2022. He had a car accident in December.
Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to play in Border-Gavaskar, BCCI is preparing a special plan
The Indian selectors are considering picking left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the Test squad, although he has only played for India in the limited-overs format so far. He impressed everyone during India’s T20 World Cup win and there are talks that he could be included in the Test squad for the Australia tour later this year. The Punjab and Punjab Kings fast bowler was the highest wicket-taker in the recent tournament along with Afghanistan fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi. Both the bowlers took 17-17 wickets in that tournament. Now it is believed that after his brilliant performance in the white ball, he may get promoted to red ball cricket. Arshdeep Singh may get a chance in the upcoming Test series against Australia The selectors are very impressed with Arshdeep’s ability to swing the ball in limited overs cricket, so he can prove to be very effective on the Australia tour. A source told the Times of India, “Arshdeep has performed impressively in white ball cricket for India. He may be asked to play some red ball matches starting with the Duleep Trophy from September 5 to increase his chances of selection for the Australia tour. There is every possibility that he can prove to be a trump card for India along with (Jasprit) Bumrah in Australia.” The source further added that, “In fact, the selectors are keen to have the option of another left-arm pacer at least in the white-ball squad, which is why Khaleel Ahmed toured Zimbabwe and has been selected for both the ODIs and T20Is in Sri Lanka.” Let us tell you, the Indian team will tour Australia at the end of this year. For the first time on this tour, a 5 match Border Gavaskar Test series will be played between India and Australia. Let us tell you, the last two times Team India has been successful in defeating Australia at their home. This time India will be eyeing to defeat the Kangaroos at their home for the third consecutive time.

“Flight delayed for 4 hours, did not get a chance to practice”- Is ICC responsible for Afghan team’s defeat in the semi-finals?
Afghanistan suffered a crushing defeat by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match. Afghanistan Cricket Team (Photo Source: X) Afghanistan had to face defeat by 9 wickets against South Africa in the first semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024. In this match, the culprits for Afghanistan’s defeat were their batsmen, as the team was all out for 56 runs. However, the real reason behind this was something else, which was mentioned by former great England cricketer Michael Vaughan as soon as the match started. Vaughan had posted on social media that Afghanistan’s team could lose due to two reasons. This is what happened. After Afghanistan’s defeat, Michael Vaughan’s tweet is going viral like fire. Fans are also giving their reactions on that tweet. Michael Vaughan tweeted before the first semi-final match In fact, before the Afghanistan vs South Africa semi-final match, Michael Vaughan had posted a post and wrote, “So Afghanistan qualified for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in St Vincent on Monday night. Their flight to Trinidad was delayed by 4 hours. So they did not get time to practice nor could they get used to the new place. I am afraid there is a complete lack of respect for the players.” In this way, he has targeted the ICC without naming it, because the schedule is made by the ICC. Let us tell you that earlier Rohit Sharma had also given his opinion about the schedule made by the ICC. So Afghanistan qualify for the WC semi winning in St Vincent on Monday night .. 4 hr flight delay on Tues to Trinidad so no time to practice or get accustomed to a new venue .. utter lack of respect to players i am afraid .. #T20WorldCup2024 — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 After the last match against Bangladesh, Afghanistan had to catch a flight in the afternoon, but the flight was four hours late. So the flight arrived late at night and they did not get time to practice. The next day they had to play in the semi-final match and this proved to be costly for the team. You will remember that many teams had raised questions on the schedule even at the beginning of the tournament. In this way, if it is said that the reason behind this poor performance of Afghanistan is the schedule of ICC, then it will not be wrong.
Will four spinners get a chance in the match against AUS? Know what coach Paras Mahambre said
Team India (Photo Source: X) India will play its last Super 8 match in the T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday, June 24. India has already won two matches in the Super-8 stage and if it beats Australia in its next match, it will confirm its place in the semi-finals. Before this match, there is only one question in everyone’s mind, what will be the pitch of St. Lucia for this match. Let us tell you that as the T20 World Cup matches are being played in the West Indies, the pitch there is becoming sluggish and slow. Meanwhile, India’s assistant coach Paras Mhambrey was asked in the pre-match press conference that if the conditions are favorable for spin, can India give a chance to four spinners in their playing XI. Will four spinners get a chance to play in the match against Australia? Responding to this question in the pre-match press conference, Paras Mahambre said, “It all depends on the pitch – I expect the pitch to be not that favorable for spinners, I think yes three spinners are being included, I think team combination is very important, so I am not sure about all the other places. If, I am saying that, I don’t think the surface will be that dry and will turn that much, but yes, if the surface is like that, there will be a lot of wear and tear on the wicket, yes for a spinner, if you feel that is the best option that you want to go with and enter the match, you can go with it as well.” Let us tell you that India has a chance to eliminate Australia from the tournament. If India wins against Australia then Mitchell Marsh’s team will have to depend on the result of Bangladesh vs Afghanistan.

Samson or Pant? Who will get the first chance in T20 World Cup? Know what Yuvi said
T20 World Cup 2024 will be organized right after the ongoing season of IPL. BCCI had announced Team India’s squad for this mega event a long time ago. India has selected two wicketkeepers (Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant) in the team for the T20 World Cup. But the question in everyone’s mind right now is who among these two will get the first chance in the playing XI. Rishabh for last many years Pant was seen as MS Dhoni’s successor as wicketkeeper across all formats. But when he retired from cricket in 2022 after a car accident, Samson’s chances increased. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain scored an ODI century against South Africa in January and has had a stellar performance in the current IPL season with 504 runs in 14 matches. Now former Team India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has expressed his opinion on this issue. While talking on ICC show, Yuvi advised to use Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper in T-20 World Cup. He said, “I would like to go with Rishabh. Obviously Sanju is in amazing form, but Rishabh is a left-handed batsman and I think he has tremendous ability to win matches for India, which he has done before. The 2007 World T20 winning cricketer feels that the left-right batting combination makes it difficult for the bowlers. Singh favored the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, followed by Virat Kohli at No. 3 and Suryakumar Yadav at No. 4 to bat. Yuvi said that only Virat Kohli should play at number three position, while Suryakumar Yadav would be the best choice for number four. Team India will start its campaign against Ireland on June 5 in the T-20 World Cup to be held on the soil of West Indies and America.
