DTVHINDIThis bowler was dreaming of playing the final, the board removed him from the team before the match- know why?
Following Stokes’ injury a few days ago, fast bowling allrounder Chris Woakes was also ruled out of the tournament. Gus Atkinson (Pic Source-X) In The Hundred tournament, Oval Invincibles will face the winner of the eliminator match between Birmingham Phoenix and Southern Brave in the final. Meanwhile, news has come that Gus Atkinson will not be available for Oval Invincibles in The Hundred 2024 final on Sunday 18 August. In fact, the England Cricket Board has decided to exclude him from the final match ahead of England’s three-match home Test series against Sri Lanka starting on Wednesday 21 August. The board has taken a cautious approach after Ben Stokes’ injury during the Hundred clash. In fact, a few days ago, after Stokes’ injury, fast bowling all-rounder Chris Woakes was also removed from the tournament. Atkinson has played only one match for the Invincibles this season and has not taken any wicket by giving 28 runs in 10 balls. Let us tell you that The Hundred is a tournament where an innings is not of 10 or 20 overs but of 100 balls. At the same time, the bowler has to bowl only 5 balls in 1 over and not 6. Invincibles captain Sam Billings said: “Gus has been dropped from the squad, which is understandable. It’s disappointing for him, but Saqib Mahmood has performed brilliantly for us throughout the tournament and showed his class in the last match. He will remain in the squad.” Gus Atkinson had a stellar performance in his first Test series against the West Indies last month. The young player took 22 wickets in three Tests at an average of 16.22, including two five-wicket hauls. The fast bowler has played 9 ODIs and 3 T20Is for England since his international debut last year. Atkinson has taken 17 wickets in the white-ball format and was part of the England squad for the 2023 ODI World Cup.

James Anderson. (Image Source: Getty Images) James Anderson U Turn From Retirement: England fast bowler James Anderson, who recently retired from Test cricket, is now planning to take a U-turn from his retirement. After seeing the movement of the new ball in The Hundred 2024, he is planning to return to white ball cricket. Anderson last played in the T20 tournament 2014 T20 Blast Final. After that he completely focused on red ball cricket. Anderson is the fastest bowler in the world to take the most Test wickets. He is at number three in the overall list. Anderson has taken 269 wickets in 194 ODIs and 19 wickets in 18 T20 International matches. He played his last ODI in 2015 and his last T20 International match in 2009. After retirement, Anderson joined the England team as a bowling mentor for the last two matches of the Test series against the West Indies. He retired after playing the first Test match of this series. I want to make my career in T20 format James Anderson According to PA news agency, the veteran bowler said, “There is a little interest in the shorter format because I have not played for any franchise before. Watching The Hundred this year and seeing the ball swing, I feel that I can perform in it. I am probably in a bit of denial because I know very well that I will never play for England again but I have not yet made any decision on my cricket career.” He further said, “Once this summer is over, I can sit down and think if I want to play any form of cricket again next year. I am ready to think about any form of cricket. I am fit enough to play right now and I am not keeping myself away from anything.” However, Anderson is aware of his age. He said, “It is difficult to know whether people are interested in seeing me in such a format or not. So we will wait and see. I know it has been a long time since I played this and the issue of my age will be raised again. But I really think I am fit enough to play this format of cricket.”

Marcus Trescothick has been appointed Interim Coach by the ECB but now he will have to hand over the responsibility of the head coach as soon as possible to someone who can improve the performance of the England team and at the same time he will also have his eyes on the upcoming Champions Trophy. For quite some time now, there have been reports that former all-rounder Andrew Flintoff could be appointed as the head coach of England’s limited overs cricket, although no confirmation has been made by the English board about this yet. Recently, Eoin Morgan has named four former players who can play this important role in the coming times.

All limits of fixing were crossed, 1 run was needed in 3 balls, after that you will be shocked to hear what happened
Currently The Hundred tournament is being played in England which is a tournament of only 100 balls. Match Fixing in The Hundred (Source X) Match Fixing in The Hundred: The Hundred tournament is currently being played in England which is a tournament of only 100 balls. In this league, the over is not of 6 balls but of 5 balls. In this article, we will talk about the 7th match of the league. People are talking a lot about this match. Along with this, this tournament organized by the England Cricket Board has come under the scanner of fixing. Actually, the seventh match of The Hundred was played between Manchester Originals and Trent Rockets. Manchester Originals won the toss in this match and decided to bowl. Batting first, Trent Rockets scored 145 runs in 100 balls for the loss of 6 wickets. Tom Banton played an innings of 45 runs in 22 balls for the team. After that Rovman Powell scored 27 runs in 17 balls. The rest of the batsmen could not perform well. On the other hand, Tom Hartley took the maximum 3 wickets, Osama Mir took 2 and Paul Walter took 1 wicket for Manchester. Manchester Originals did match fixing The Manchester team, which came out to chase the target, could only score 144 runs in 100 balls. And Trent Rockets won the match by 1 run. You must be thinking that this is a game, there is always victory and defeat. But let us tell you that, Manchester Originals needed 2 runs in the last 3 balls, but the team lost 2 wickets in the last 2 balls and lost the match. Fans have highlighted this on the internet and are showing a lot of anger. One user said- “Fixing is going on openly in The Hundred, 1 run is not being scored on 3 balls.” At the same time, a user said- “The England Cricket Board wants to make ‘The Hundred’ the biggest T20 league in world cricket but the matches of the league are not exciting. Therefore, it seems that the board has resorted to match fixing.” : Fixing is going on openly in The Hundred Men’s Competition 2024 as well, 1 run is not being scored in 3 balls #TheHundred2024 #INDvsSL pic.twitter.com/ZyNRye5vew — [email protected] (@sanajanama47427) July 30, 2024 The ECB wants to make The Hundred the biggest T20 league in world cricket but the matches in the league were not exciting.

Not 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.
