Due to this poor form, he was rested from the two Test matches against England. He played in the first test match, but could not do anything special with the bat. Meanwhile, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has advised Babar Azam to follow the footsteps of Virat Kohli. Let us tell you that Pakistan had to face defeat against England in the first Test match of the home Test series. After this, the host team won both the matches and won the series 2-1. Like Babar, Virat Kohli was also struggling with form in 2022, but 2023 was a great season for him. That’s why Ricky Ponting feels that Kohli can help Babar regain his form to some extent. Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 test innings. He said in the ICC review, the biggest challenge is how they bring Babar back into their team. They have to find a way to get Babar back into form and back into their (Test) team. Maybe Babar needs to step away for a while and stop even trying. Close the kit bag for a while and think about something else. Then hopefully he will come back refreshed. He further said that, you know, when you look at Babar’s statistics, it is somewhat similar to what we were talking about earlier for Virat Kohli. Virat took a break from the game for some time and returned refreshed. Babar also needs the same thing. Hopefully, we will again see Babar like before in his career. Let us tell you that Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 Test innings. Babar’s average in the last 9 Tests since the start of the 2023 season has been 20.70, which is very disappointing.
“He has to follow the rules, play domestic cricket”- Jay Shah said on Ishan Kishan’s arbitrariness
BCCI secretary Jay Shah recently admitted that he had removed both these cricketers from the central contract to send them a message. He said that harsh punishment was necessary as it would bring them back to red ball cricket. Now after the Buchi Babu tournament, Ishan Kishan will also be seen playing in the Duleep Trophy tournament starting from September 5. Shah also said that if a player gets injured and is dropped from the Test team, he will have to prove himself again in the domestic circuit before joining the national team. He gave the example of Ravindra Jadeja, who is the only A+ grade cricketer to play in the Duleep Trophy. Jay Shah sent a strong message regarding Ishan Kishan Jai Shah was quoted by Times of India as saying, “If you look at the Duleep Trophy team, apart from Rohit and Virat, others will play. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are playing Duleep Trophy because of the strict measures taken by me,” Jai Shah told Times of India. He further said, “We have been a bit strict. When Ravindra Jadeja was injured, I called him and asked him to play domestic matches. Now it is certain that whoever goes out due to injury can come back to the Indian team only after proving his fitness in domestic cricket.” BCCI secretary Jay Shah has given a short but clear message regarding Ishan’s return. He says that any player hoping to return to the national team will have to give importance to domestic cricket. He clearly said that Ishan will have to follow the rules of the board. Shah said, “He will have to follow the rules. He will have to play domestic cricket.”
“We cannot follow England’s “Bazball”, we have played only 2 matches…” – Bangladeshi player Zakir Hasan made a big statement
England has a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new – Zakir Hasan Zakir Hasan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Bangladesh cricket team is going to tour India in September for a two-match Test series. Before this tour, the team’s opening batsman Zakir Hasan has made a big statement about the team’s performance in Tests. Let us tell you, Bangladesh’s performance in ICC tournaments has been very disappointing, and the team is not showing anything special in Tests either. Last year, the team played only four Test matches, out of which it won one and lost three. The players have been facing a lot of criticism due to poor batting in Tests. We play two matches in a series- Zakir Hasan Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan says that they cannot follow England’s ‘Bazball’ approach, because the English team plays four to five matches in a Test series. And Bangladesh plays only two matches in a series. Hasan has called it a matter of concern. Talking to Cricbuzz, Zakir Hasan said, As a cricketer, it matters more to me how I help the team with my performance than playing beautiful shots. As you said about playing for a long time in Tests, England may play one way. But if you analyze, the way other teams play Tests around the world, batsmen take time to score runs. See, England have a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new. Zakir Hasan further said, We don’t have a chance, we play two matches in a series and then we play after one, two or three months. So I think we have less chance than them (England) to implement it in international matches. But if you see the way cricket is being played overall, if we play cricket in that manner then it will be good for us.

Age does not matter, it matters what you do on the field and when you have the ability, it does not leave you, it is just about making sure that your body is able to perform well. I follow James and Stuart Broad a lot. These are fast bowling legends, I follow Jimmy’s fitness routine a lot. Age is just a number, it should be ignored.’ Oman’s next match is against Australia The Oman cricket team is playing its third T20 World Cup.

If GT wants to win against CSK then definitely follow this important advice of Aakash Chopra.
According to Aakash Chopra, Gujarat has suffered a big blow due to the unavailability of Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami. Gujarat Titans (Pic Source-X) Today i.e. on 10th May, the best match of the Indian Premier League 2022 will be played between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is very important for both the teams to win this match. However, before this match, former Indian player Akash Chopra has given a big statement about the Gujarat Titans team. According to Aakash Chopra, Gujarat has suffered a big blow due to the unavailability of Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami. Let us tell you, before the start of Indian Premier League 2024, Hardik Pandya had joined Mumbai Indians team while Mohammed Shami could not participate in this tournament due to injury. Gujarat Titans have so far played 11 matches in IPL 2024 in which they have won 4 while they have lost 7. Gujarat has eight points and the team is at the last position in the points table of IPL 2024. While sharing a video on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, ‘The condition of Gujarat team is very bad at the moment. To tell the truth, he has not played good cricket at all. If you had won many matches then it was correct. You won the 2022 trophy. You made it to the finals in 2023 but your performance in the third year was very poor. You remember Hardik as a captain and as a batsman. Not only this, Shami’s bowling also. You cannot fill those spaces properly. Your team’s performance this season has been very poor. One of the main reasons behind this is that Shubman Gill has come under a lot of pressure as a batsman and captain. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Gill Regarding Gujarat Titans captain Shubhman Gill, Aakash Chopra said, ‘He had made a very good start as a batsman but his form has been very bad for some time now. Last year he did wonders but this season he has failed to leave his mark. There are many reasons behind this. The pressure of captaincy is also on him and that is why a lot of difference has been seen in his game. There has also been a decline in his game. Had Gill not made any changes in his batting technique, his performance would have been quite good. But form keeps coming and going and our Gill has class so he should stay focused. 5 Australian players who scored half century in 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?
