“He should play domestic cricket” – DK gave important advice to Virat who was struggling with poor form.
Dinesh Karthik And Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli has not been able to give his best performance in the longest format of the game for some time. His last Test century came in 2023. In the last five years, he has scored only two centuries, which is very low by his standards. After India lost its first Test series on home soil against New Zealand last week, 35-year-old Virat’s performance has also come under question. Seeing this disappointing performance of Virat Kohli, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik has advised him to play domestic cricket. Karthik believes that Kohli is a player who likes challenge. Now in the Test series against New Zealand, he is seen struggling to score runs against the spinners. However, Karthik is confident that Virat will soon give a befitting reply to his critics. Dinesh Karthik gave important advice to Virat Kohli to get back in form. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “It has not been easy for Virat Kohli, this series has not been good for him, he has disappointed in three out of four innings. This is obviously a match where the spinners have troubled him, and I think he’ll figure out what he needs to do to get stronger. He is a man who is searching for answers. When you reach that level of talent and super stardom, you are given challenges and here is another challenge. India like to play on spin-friendly pitches, what is their gameplan?” He further said, “We all know what he is capable of, but this series was not for him. As fans are saying, he hasn’t done this in a long time and we can’t run away from it. We don’t want to hide it because we want to be objective in assessing any player, his performance. At present, Virat Kohli’s Test record in the last 2-3 years has not been good against spin.

Dhawan, who retired in August at the age of 38, opened up about his decision while speaking on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket event. Former opener Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday revealed that he no longer had the “motivation” to play domestic cricket to make it to the national team and that was the reason he decided to retire from the game last month. “I did not want to play domestic cricket which I started playing at the age of 18 or 19. I did not have the motivation to play this format of cricket,” Dhawan, who is playing in the Legends League tournament, said in an interview to PTI. Shikhar Dhawan dominated the ICC tournament Shikhar Dhawan emerged as one of India’s leading white-ball players, especially in ICC tournaments, where he has the highest average (65.15) among all Indian batsmen. During his illustrious career, he captained the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the 2021 series against Sri Lanka. Dhawan led India in 12 ODIs, winning seven and losing three. “If I look back, in the last two years I was not playing much international cricket and I was only playing the IPL so I was not playing much cricket (overall),” the opener said. Despite his successful tenure as captain, Dhawan’s international career gradually slowed down. He was ignored from the team after the arrival of players like Shubman Gill. Dhawan played his last match for India in December 2022, marking the end of an important era for Indian cricket.

According to ESPNcricinfo, Barrett-Wild said, Equalising starting salaries across our men’s and women’s professional domestic game is another positive step forward for women’s cricket in England and Wales. The changes we have made to the structure of women’s domestic cricket over the last nine months are about creating a sustainable and viable product that is attractive off the field as well as quality on it. As part of this, it is vital that our players are paid the right wages, and that cricket is seen not only as a viable career option for women, but as an attractive option. Every decision we are making is about making cricket as attractive a sport for young girls as it is for boys. We know we still have work to do in this area but we are moving fast.

DRS will help players learn a lot about batting techniques in domestic cricket: Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin believes that due to DRS, domestic players will also know about this technology very well and their batting technique will also improve. Ravi Ashwin (Pic Source-X) Veteran Indian player Ravichandran Ashwin has recently made a big statement about the Decision Review System (DRS) in domestic cricket. He made this statement during the India C vs India D match currently being played in the Duleep Trophy 2024. Let us tell you, during this match, Ricky Bhui was given a controversial out on the ball of Manav Suthar. Manav Suthar took 7 wickets in the second innings of this match. Ravichandran Ashwin believes that due to DRS, domestic players will also get to know this technology very well and their batting technique will also improve. Not only this, due to DRS in domestic cricket, decisions will also be taken correctly. He presented his point of view by giving the example of Ricky Bhui’s dismissal. Ravichandran Ashwin wrote on his official X account that, ‘DRS in domestic cricket will not only lead to correct decisions. Ricky Bhui’s wicket against Manav Suthar is the best example of this. This technology will be completely correct in first class cricket.’ Here is Ravichandran Ashwin’s tweet: DRS for domestic cricket is not just for the right decisions to be made. Ricky Bhuvi’s dismissal last evening against Manav Suthar is a classic case of a batter who will get away with this technique 10/10 times in FC cricket. This was not a faulty technique pre DRS but now it… pic.twitter.com/Ip2BXHgJBe — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 7, 2024 Ravichandran Ashwin further wrote that, ‘In earlier times, batsmen were not given out because they used their front leg very well. However, keeping the bat behind the pad can sometimes prove to be dangerous. Players rarely make this mistake in international cricket. Ricky also made this mistake because he did not have much experience. DRS will help the batsmen a lot and it can prove to be useful for the bowlers as well. So far the performance of all the teams in Duleep Trophy 2024 has been very good. There are many players who have won the hearts of all the fans by performing brilliantly in this tournament.

At a time when Pakistan is struggling with inflation, poverty and massive electricity bills, the PCB is wasting Rs5 million on consultants only to do nothing and reward the unsuccessful players in the current squad who have brought Pakistan cricket to an all time low. It is even more insulting that the PCB claims they do not have ‘equipment for surgery’, which is a huge insult to the domestic players. As a Pakistani and a true cricket lover, I cannot support a system in which merit has no value. I refuse to be a part of this failed setup. See this post by Ahmed Shahzad With a heavy heart, I’ve decided not to play in the Domestic Cricket Champions Cup.

PCB will use Kookaburra balls for home Test matches, while Duke balls will be used for the domestic season
The Pakistan Cricket Board has taken this decision only after choosing the brand of cricket balls of its choice as per the ICC rules. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has recently decided that it is going to use Kookaburra balls for domestic Test matches. After this decision of the PCB, in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle 2023-25, the Pakistan cricket team will be seen playing a total of 7 Test matches on home soil with the Kookaburra ball. In these seven matches, Pakistan has proposed 2 Test matches against Bangladesh, 3 against England and 2 against West Indies. The Pak team will be seen playing all these Test matches in August, October and early next year. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board will continue to use Duke balls for the senior team for domestic cricket seasons and tournaments. Also, let us tell you that the PCB has taken this decision after a well-analyzed research based on the condition of the home ground and pitch. Apart from this, when it comes to grassroot level and junior cricket, PCB will be seen using Aceline and Greys balls. These balls will cover all types of matches of Pakistan’s Under-13, Under-17 and Under-19 teams. PCB took this decision after the appointment of Tony Hemming It is worth noting that recently the Pakistan Cricket Board has appointed Australia’s renowned pitch curator Tony Hemming as the head curator of PCB. So the pitches will be prepared under the supervision of Hemming for Pakistan’s domestic as well as international cricket schedule of 2024-25. However, before the construction of the pitches, the head curator advised the board to insist on changing the ball according to the format, so that along with the experience of the fans, quality cricket can also develop. Also, there is a possibility that the kind of pitch Hamming is going to make in the coming time, there will be an equal balance between ball and bat.
