After recovering from the injury, he was included in the Australia team for the ODI series played against the West Indies in February. In this series, he made his international debut and also took wickets in the third match played in Canberra. Lance Morris was also seen playing for Seattle Orcas in Major League Cricket but scans revealed that he was still having some back trouble and due to this the young player could not participate in Australia’s UK white ball tour. Lance Morris is currently in rehab and he himself has admitted that the whole task has been quite disturbing. According to ESPNcricinfo, Lance Morris said, ‘It has been a bit challenging. I guess you can call it a stress fracture but when we did the scan, it did not look like a normal stress fracture. So there was a bit of trouble in the beginning as to what it was? The surprising thing was that I did not have any back pain while I was bowling. I used to go to the doctor every month for a checkup and the MRI made it clear that I am moving in the right direction. I hope to become fully fit as soon as possible. The last few months have been very difficult: Lance Morris Despite being injured, Lance Morris has worked on his fitness. Lance Morris further said, ‘It is very disappointing that I have to stop for two months. Right now I am at that stage of my career that I have a contract with Cricket Australia and I have to get fit as soon as possible and return to the team. The best part is that my fitness has been good and I feel stronger than ever. The bad part is that if I had ignored it, things could have been very bad.

AFG vs NZ test match became a joke, Greater Noida stadium exposed the world’s richest cricket board
Play on the second day of the only Test is yet to begin due to wet outfield and poor facilities at the Greater Noida Sports Complex ground in Greater Noida. Greater Noida Stadium (Pic Source-X) The only Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand has started on 9 September. The first day of the Test match could not start due to rain. Not only this, the second day of the only Test match has also not started due to wet outfield and poor facilities at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida. The lack of modern facilities and inexperienced ground staff at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground has made it difficult to prepare the ground. The Board of Control for Cricket in India is being heavily criticized on social media for this. Let us tell you, it rained for a very short time on Monday i.e. 9 September and even after that the match has not started yet. There are also reports that it seems very difficult for the second day’s play to take place between these two teams. To start the match, the umpires inspected the ground and pitch 6 times throughout the day on 9 September. New Zealand captain Tim Southee, all-rounder Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra along with other players also inspected the ground, but mid-on and mid-wicket did not look good for playing, while many patches were visible even inside the 30-yard circle of the field. However, after the sun came out, it seemed for a while that the match could start, but the umpires finally admitted that a match cannot be held on such a pitch and ground on 9 September. This is the reason why the game could not start on the first day. The weather is clear on the second day but despite this the players of both the teams are eagerly waiting for the match to start. BCCI got a lot of flak on social media The Board of Control for Cricket in India is one of the richest boards in the world. Many people on social media are saying that if this ground was not completely suitable for the match then why was it declared as a venue. Let us tell you, this is the first test match being played between the two teams. After the first day of the match was cancelled, an official of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had said that there is a lot of mess here, we will never come back here. The players are also unhappy with the facilities here. He said that we had already talked to the concerned people and the people of the stadium had assured us that everything would be fine regarding media facilities. However, we have only seen disappointment here. Extremely poor and unprofessional behavior @ACBofficials for choosing such a poor&low standard ground for the only test of the year against a quality side of NZ.It’s been 2nd day, since no rain and the groundsmen unable to dry out the ground.Such a terrible scene.#AFGvNZ — Zia Afghan (@ziasayzz)…

Let us tell you that the team’s fast bowlers Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee can be seen in action from November. It is worth noting that they have been given rest by the board for the UAE tour, but after this they can be seen playing for the Proteas team in the series against Afghanistan and Ireland. Apart from this, both the cricketers have not played any cricket for South Africa since June this year. Marco was rested for the West Indies tour, while Coetzee was ruled out due to injury before the tour began. Currently Marco is suffering from a shoulder problem, while Coetzee is suffering from a hip problem. But even before these recent troubles, CSA had recognised the need to give both bowlers a break as part of a wider plan to keep its fast bowlers fit and performing at their best. The board had given both of them a 12-week conditioning break to protect the cricketers from further injuries. Rob Walter made a big statement So, regarding Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee, the team’s head coach Rob Walter said- Both these young players were struggling with chronic physical problems that are predisposed to fast bowling and so we realized that we have to come forward. We have to give these guys the best chance to be able to perform. Walter further said- At this time obviously the workload of young cricketers has increased a lot, especially on fast bowlers. To ensure that their injuries do not affect their career much. Therefore, we wanted to put them on a conditioning block.
‘There is no need to concentrate it in the hands of a few people’, Rahul Dravid’s big statement on Indian cricket came out
We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people, we need to make it egalitarian – Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid (Image Credit- Twitter X) Under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title in June. After this his tenure ended and now he will be seen as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Meanwhile, he has made a big statement about Indian cricket. He believes that Indian cricket is very powerful. Let us tell you that there is no dearth of talented cricketers in India and this is because cricket is being played all over India and many such young players have emerged from there who have performed brilliantly in IPL and domestic tournaments. After this, some of them have made their name at the international level. Former Indian coach Rahul Dravid believes that these young players are responsible for the change that has come in Indian cricket. Indian cricket is very strong and powerful- Rahul Dravid Dravid was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “If you look at Indian cricket today, Indian cricket is very strong, it is very powerful. One of the big reasons for this is that talent comes from everywhere, from all over the country. Even if there were talented boys in small places, they had to come to big cities to play cricket, but today I think you see in Indian cricket that boys are coming from everywhere.” He continued, “You just look at the standard of Ranji Trophy. In the old days when you played in South Zone apart from Hyderabad or Tamil Nadu, I think it would be fair to say that not many other teams can take it lightly, but certainly you can take it a little more lightly.” Dravid said, we need to strengthen the clubs. We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people. We need to make cricket egalitarian, we need it to be everywhere. You can’t have talent or facilities concentrated in only one or two places. To get the best out of the talent, we need to ensure that young players are getting access to good infrastructure in every part.
