Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) November 28, 2024 Mohinder Amarnath’s Dr. S. Jaishankar praised fiercely According to India Today, Dr. S. Jaishankar said, ‘You said that you have played him better because he moves from the initial side-on position to the open chested position. I could not have found a better description of Pakistan policy at that time. This was not just the inflection point but this point was the man of the match. Pakistan had won for a time and Sri Lanka had won for a time. But nowhere else was it as big a turning point as it was in the history of cricket because if you look at India’s role after the 1983 World Cup, there has been a lot of change in it. It’s like cricket because first of all there are many players. Second, playing conditions keep changing. Playing at home and playing abroad is a different thing. Many times it happens that the umpires remain angry with you. But at the end of the day a lot of things fall apart. The best thing about cricket is that all the players together play an important role in the victory of their team and you say to yourself that I have to win this.

There is a language problem with foreign coaches, we need a language translator: Naseem Shah
Pakistani players have long had problems speaking and learning English. Naseem Shah (Image Credit- Twitter) Language is a very important medium for the exchange of ideas. Cricket, the world’s second most loved sport, is also not untouched by this. Cricketers have to use language for planning and other important work before playing a match. So when players do this work, they are most comfortable in their local or mother tongue. But when they have to speak or understand a language different from this, and if they have not learned that language, then they may face difficulties. On the other hand, Pakistani fast bowler Naseem Shah has put forth his views on this issue. It is worth mentioning that for some time now, the coaches of Pakistan’s national cricket team have been foreigners and the current white ball coaches are Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie. Kirsten is South African while Gillespie is Australian and is more comfortable in English. On the other hand, the understanding of English by Pakistani players is well known. Also, when Naseem communicates with foreign coaches, he finds it a bit challenging. Also, to end the challenge, Naseem has talked about a language translator. Naseem Shah gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent press conference, Naseem Shah, as quoted by Cricket Pakistan, said – There is a language problem with foreign coaches. We need someone to translate the language. It is easier to communicate with the coach in your own language. Naseem further said about Pakistan’s performance in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024- Our comeback was not good and we cannot deny that we did not play good cricket. Criticism is a part of it and we should bear it until things get better. This is a good opportunity to come back, play better and perform as a team.
The list of Indian players playing in foreign cricket leagues is very long
RCB wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has joined SA20, his decision came after retiring from IPL as a player. Suresh Raina (Image Source: Twitter) Indian players who are playing in overseas leagues: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear to the cricketers of the country that if they want to participate in foreign T20 leagues, they will not be allowed to do so. According to BCCI rules, any Indian player who is under contract cannot be a part of any other league, whether it is for the position of a player or mentor. Players will have to retire completely to play in another league, which means that the player will have to retire from domestic cricket along with international cricket, i.e., he will have to give up playing in the IPL. But no young player will do this by putting his career at risk. However, some players have found a solution to this. Players are retiring from cricket and then going to play in foreign competitions. Recently, RCB wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has joined SA20. His decision came after retiring as a player from IPL. There are some other players like him who are playing in foreign leagues. In this article, we will talk about those players. 1.

“You are not a foreign coach who…” Ashish Nehra got angry at Gautam Gambhir! Raised questions about Rohit-Kohli
Gambhir’s experiment, which included changing the Indian batting order twice and trying out a left-right combination, has been criticised. Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra Source The Indian team has suffered a setback in the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka. While the first ODI was tied, the Indian team lost to Sri Lanka by 32 runs in the second ODI. Due to this, the Indian team is forced to level the series by winning the last ODI match. The reason for this is believed to be the poor results of coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir’s experiments, which claimed to try a left-right combination with two changes in the Indian batting order, have been criticized. Due to this, some opinions have also been raised that the Indian team has no chance of winning the Champions Trophy series. Ashish Nehra raised questions on Gautam Gambhir’s coaching Ashish Nehra, a former teammate of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir, was asked the same question after Sri Lanka took a crucial 1-0 lead. He did not give a direct answer but criticised Gambhir for focusing on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma while he could have tried new players in the series. According to the report, the senior batsmen made themselves available for the series after Gambhir’s request. India’s current Sri Lanka tour is Gambhir’s first tour as India’s head coach, and he wanted to spend time with Kohli and Rohit to understand the team. Nehra said Gambhir should have waited as he was not new to the two star players, and instead should have tried out other players and tested India’s bench strength. Ashish Nehra said on Sony Sports- “India’s next series is after 2-3 months, which is a rare thing for us. So for players like Rohit and Kohli…I think there was a better chance to give opportunities to other players during this series. I know Gambhir is the new coach and he wants to spend some time with the experienced players, but it’s not like he doesn’t know both of them.” “He is not a foreign coach who wants to get his equation right with Kohli and Rohit. So it was a good opportunity for him to try out new players and Rohit and Kohli could play when the domestic season starts. I am not saying it is the wrong way, but it could have been one of the strategies in this series.” Riyan Parag, Rishabh Pant, Harshit Rana and Khaleel Ahmed have not played in either of the two ODIs and it will be interesting to see if India make changes to their playing XI for the third and final ODI. Usually, teams try out their bench strength after sealing the series with an unassailable lead.
‘Ban them for two years’- IPL franchises put forth a demand to BCCI to take action against foreign players
In the last few seasons, players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Harry Brook and Wanindu Hasaranga withdrew their names without any solid reason. Apart from this, there is a constant discussion about the number of players retained. Currently, teams are allowed to retain only four players before the mega auction. There is talk of increasing the number of retained players to 8. Now it will be interesting to see whether the number of retained players increases or not. Apart from this, the franchise has made some other demands as well. Now it remains to be seen what decision BCCI takes regarding retention for the upcoming IPL season.

Apart from this, there is another issue, regarding which the IPL owners have raised a demand before the BCCI. Ahead of the meeting, it has emerged that IPL franchises have demanded action from the BCCI against foreign players who withdraw their names from the tournament at the last moment after being bought in the auction. According to a report by Cricbuzz, the franchises have highlighted the issue of foreign players being constantly left out of the league. Franchise demanded action from BCCI According to the report, the actions of players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales and Wanindu Hasaranga, who have previously withdrawn from the IPL due to low bids, have raised concerns for the IPL management. From personal issues to injuries, the reasons for their withdrawal have put a damper on the plans of the franchises and hence they are demanding action from the BCCI on this. Apart from this, franchise owners have also highlighted a pattern where some foreign players refuse to participate in the mega auction and participate in the mini auction so that they can get higher bids. Now these issues will be the main topic of discussion in the meeting to be held on Wednesday evening between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials and the Indian Premier League franchise owners.
Will India and Pakistan face each other again in Australia?, Foreign cricket board put forward a proposal
In the T20 World Cup 2024, India defeated Pakistan by 6 runs in a low scoring match India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) The teams of India and Pakistan are arch rivals and this is not hidden from anyone. It has been more than a decade since the bilateral series between the two teams took place and they are seen playing against each other only in ICC events. Recently, both the teams clashed in the T20 World Cup 2024, where India defeated Pakistan by 6 runs in a low-scoring match. Team India, batting first, was all out after scoring just 119 runs in 19 overs. In response, the Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly and restricted Pakistan to just 113 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. This defeat proved very costly for the Pakistani team and after losing to the US, the team was eliminated from the tournament. Cricket Australia chief executive proposes tri-series Now in the meantime, Cricket Australia’s chief executive Nick Hockley has proposed a tri-series in which India and Pakistan should also participate. He has made this proposal in view of the enthusiasm in India-Pakistan matches. Hockley said, “Pakistan and India are traditional rival teams, there is a lot of excitement about their matches. To the extent that we can facilitate or help in this (tri-series), we are ready to do so. However, the final decision depends on the respective cricket boards of India and Pakistan.” From Hockley’s statement, it is believed that Cricket Australia is trying to bridge the gap between the two countries by making this proposal. Which will provide fans the experience of an exciting match between India and Pakistan apart from the ICC tournament by using Australia’s neutral venue.
“Either be available for the entire season, otherwise…”- Irfan Pathan turned red with anger when foreign players left IPL midway.
Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: Twitter) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has asked its players to join the national team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 next month. Some of them have already left their respective Indian Premier League (IPL) teams, while others are on the verge of doing so. The England team is the defending champion of the T20 World Cup, having won the last edition of the tournament in 2022. In such a situation, the England team will again go to defend the title in the T20 World Cup to be held next month. After the decision of ECB, many England players have left their team in the middle of the IPL season., Most of the players have already returned home to take part in the three-match T20 series against Pakistan. The rest of the players who are part of the team will also leave India soon for national duty. Irfan Pathan angry at England players England captain Jos Buttler, Will Jacques, Liam Livingstone, Reece Topley and Phil Salt have returned to England. Now Sam Curran will also return to England soon. Some cricket experts including experienced batsman Sunil Gavaskar did not like this. After Gavaskar, Irfan Pathan has also issued a stern warning to those players who are leaving this glorious league in the middle of the season. Pathan, a former India all-rounder, said that players should either be present for the entire IPL season or they should not come to play at all. Expressing displeasure over this, Irfan Pathan wrote a post, “Either be available for the entire season, or do not come.” Either be available for full season or don’t come! — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) May 15, 2024 Irfan Pathan vented out his anger on the foreign players and Rajasthan Royals bore the brunt of the lack of star players. Royals could not get the services of their veteran opener Jos Buttler against Punjab Kings. Rajasthan Royals suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings with 7 balls remaining. This was the fourth consecutive defeat for Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals.
The sword hanging over Ricky Ponting! Will foreign coaches and their staff now be on leave in IPL?
The poor performance of some IPL teams this season has sparked debate about the value of key foreign coaching staff. Ricky Ponting, IPL 2024 (Photo Source X) (2) Former cricketer Atul Wasan, who played 4 Tests and 9 ODIs for Team India, has now become a well-known cricket commentator. He could have played more matches for Team India but injury put an end to his career and he had to retire. But one of his statements is much discussed in this IPL season. Former Indian cricketer Atul Wasan has criticized the increasing trend of IPL franchises appointing foreign coaches. Suddenly this thing started because the poor performance of some IPL teams this season has started a debate about the value of key foreign coaching staff. The list of criticism also includes Delhi Capitals, which has secured the services of Australian legend Ricky Ponting as head coach despite the limited success of the franchise in 16 IPL seasons. When Vasan was asked about the coaching setup of Delhi, he had a lot to say, he gave a statement to India News that, “This is injustice to Delhi, what is Ricky Ponting doing in the dugout, is he just sitting there? Are? They are paying a lot of money to foreign coaches, so what is the use of them here in IPL?” What is the role of Ricky Ponting?: Atul Wasan He has also questioned the role of foreign experts appointed by franchises. “Apart from the coaches, no one is talking about what is the role of the foreign experts they bring into their setup. By doing this are you trying to look stronger in the dugout than your team on the field? “In the 16-year-long history of the IPL, DC has reached the final only once in 2020.” Echoing Wason’s views, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma also said, “I agree with Atul, IPL teams love to appoint foreign coaches, but what are they getting out of all this “ What do you think, should foreign coaches be appointed in IPL or not?
IPL 2024: RCB vs KKR: Probable playing XI for Match 10, RCB can give a chance to this foreign fast bowler
The 10th match of IPL 2024 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Both the teams are preparing vigorously for this match. Talking about the past performance of both the teams, RCB had defeated Punjab Kings in their last match. Kolkata has played only one match so far this season where they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Since RCB and KKR are coming to play this match after winning their previous match, the biggest question is what will be the playing XI of both the teams for this match? Talking about RCB, after losing to CSK in the season opener, they made a great comeback in the next match and defeated Punjab Kings by 4 wickets in a thrilling match. In that match, Punjab Kings, batting first, scored 176 runs at the loss of six wickets in 20 overs. Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal bowled very well in that match. Apart from him, all other bowlers had proved expensive. Alzarri Joseph, who got a chance in the last two matches, has now looked completely ineffective. In such a situation, Reece Topley may get a chance in place of Joseph in the match against KKR. Talking about RCB’s batting, Virat played a brilliant match-winning inning of 77 runs. But apart from them, Faf du Plessis, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell could not do anything special. In such a situation, these batsmen will have to perform well in the coming matches. If we talk about KKR, they have played only one match so far, where all their batsmen except Phil Salt, Rinku Singh and Andre Russell were flops. Talking about bowling, except Sunil Narine and Harshit Rana, all other bowlers proved to be very expensive. In that match, Andre Russell played a very important role with both bat and ball. Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI: Philip Salt (wicketkeeper), Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty. Kolkata Knight Riders Impact Players: Suyyash Sharma, Manish Pandey, Vaibhav Arora, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz Royal Challengers Bangalore Playing XI: Faf du Plessis (captain), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat (wicketkeeper), Reece Topley, Mayank Dagar, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal. Royal Challengers Bangalore Impact Players: Suyash Prabhudesai, Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma, Vijaykumar Vaishak, Swapnil Singh
