DTVHINDINot Andrew Flintoff, this 46-year-old Sri Lankan player will become the head coach of the England team
Despite failing to reach the finals in both the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup, the English board is keen to retain Jos Buttler as captain. However, they are now showing interest in changing their coaching staff. In such a situation, if Sangakkara becomes the coach, he will get to work with Jos Buttler, which can prove to be effective for England. Both are associated with the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the IPL. Under his guidance, the English captain has emerged as a key player for the Royals. Both players can do something similar for England as well. However, Kumar Sangakkara is not the only player in the race to become England’s head coach. Former Australian batsman Michael Hussey and current Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott are also contenders to become the head coach of England’s white ball team. Interestingly, former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is reportedly unlikely to be considered for the head coach position despite speculation over his future involvement with the team. The ECB’s decision comes at a crucial juncture for English cricket. While England’s Test team has found success under the coaching of Brendon McCullum, the white-ball team needs a new approach to regain its dominant position in the limited-overs format.

However, despite this, coach Andre Kohli is very positive and said that there were many positive things to learn from this tour. Kohli said about the series against England, with an emerging team, a lot would have been said about its walkover. Obviously we should have performed better, but we showed a lot of fight during the series. From a batting point of view, I was quite happy with our scoring rate, pace, especially in the second Test. You don’t get great performances every day – Andre Collie He further said that, as far as the bowlers are concerned, the English conditions have greatly influenced the young attack in terms of correcting their line-length and handling crowd pressure. These were the important positives that we have learned from this series, as we now move on to the series with South Africa. Andre Collie said, “You’re not going to have great performances every day. But one thing you can really have some control over is going through your processes every day and giving yourself the best chance to perform.” The first test against South Africa will begin on August 7. Now the West Indies team will play a two-Test match series against South Africa from next week. In the meantime, the team has only a few days off left.

Former Indian batting coach made a big prediction about Shubman Gill
Gill has been made the vice-captain of the team for the white ball series against Sri Lanka Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian young player Shubman Gill captained Team India for the first time on the Zimbabwe tour and under his leadership the young brigade won the T20 series 4-1. Earlier, he has captained Gujarat Titans. Now he has been made the vice-captain of the team for the white ball series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, former Indian batting coach Vikram Rathod believes that one day Gill will captain India in all three formats. In the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe, Shubman Gill’s team had to face a big defeat in the very first match and in the IPL too, Gujarat Titans failed to perform well under his captaincy. In such a situation, questions started arising as soon as the first match was lost. However, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, the team won the series by registering consecutive wins in the remaining four matches. I am sure he will succeed in this role- Vikram Rathod Meanwhile, Vikram Rathore was quoted by NDTV Sports as saying, “Whatever I have seen of him, whether it was for Gujarat Titans or in Zimbabwe (when Gill captained the T20 series), he has done a good job. He has shown great body language, which is very important if you are leading a team. Now the BCCI has given him additional responsibility with the vice-captaincy and I am sure he will thrive in the role.” He further said, I think it is because of captaincy that Virat and Rohit could give their best and I think Shubman Gill will do the same. Although he is not the captain yet, but being in the leadership group, he will also give his best. Rathore said, I am sure that when you are in that role, leading others, it gives you additional responsibility, which is good. I think it is great for a youngster like Shubman, who can one day captain India in all three formats.

His death was mysterious. Let us tell you, Pakistan had to face defeat against Ireland during the ODI World Cup 2007 and the team was out of the tournament. A few hours after the match ended, Bob Woolmer’s body was found mysteriously in his hotel room. Younus Khan, who was a part of the Pakistan team at that time, made a big revelation about the situation after Bob Woolmer’s death. Younus Khan said on a Pakistani TV channel, ‘There is no doubt that if Bob Woolmer had remained the head coach of the Pakistan cricket team, things would have been very different today. He would have taken Pakistan cricket to new heights.’ Let us tell you, Younus Khan is one of the best batsmen of Pakistan. Not only this, the experienced batsman is the highest run scorer for his team in Tests. He said that after the match or practice session, he used to constantly talk to Bob Woolmer and tried to improve his cricket. Younus Khan further said, ‘I was very close to Bob Woolmer because we used to sit together after the match or nets and talk a lot about cricket. I feel bad that we did not sit together after the match against Ireland. Actually I was out without opening my account and was very disappointed with myself. So I went to my room and closed the door. After this, the next morning I did not see him at the breakfast table and later we came to know that he died.’ It was torture for us: Yunus Khan The former Pakistani player further said, ‘After all this happened in the World Cup, I changed my mindset and became the captain, without thinking about how long my tenure would be in the future. When the police were talking to us about Bob Woolmer’s death, it felt like torture to all of us. I can understand that it is the responsibility of the player to represent his country in the right way but the officials should have also looked at it in the right way. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Whatmore says that Baroda’s star cricketer no longer plays for Baroda. Dav Whatmore lashed out at Hardik Pandya Let us tell you that recently while talking on a Pakistani YouTube channel Pak Passion, Dav Whatmore said – There are still some players who do not play white ball cricket. For example, in my last few years at Baroda, Hardik Pandya has never played white ball cricket. I am always surprised that he is called Baroda’s all-rounder, but he has not played for Baroda for years. This is something he is doing. Whatmore further said – But recently I have seen that BCCI wants cricketers to play in the other two formats along with Ranji Trophy, to ensure that they are watching cricket as cricket.
