DTVHINDI“India is not my favourite opponent”- Travis Head on making India cry in ICC events
Travis Head has an excellent record against India so far. Travis Head (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Travis Head’s brilliant performance against India has become a defining feature of his career. Be it the ODI World Cup or the T20 World Cup, Head has consistently batted explosively, which has put a lot of pressure on the Indian bowlers.During the 2023 ODI World Cup, Head played a vital role in Australia’s title-winning campaign. In a crucial final against India in that ODI World Cup, he smashed a brilliant 137 off 120 balls with 15 fours and four sixes to snatch victory from India. He played a key role with the bat as Australia chased down India’s target of 240 at a packed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Head also played an innings of 76 runs off 43 balls against India in the T20 World Cup 2024, but this time Team India was successful in defeating the Kangaroos. Before that, Head had played a brilliant innings of 163 runs against India in the final of the World Test Championship, but India had to face defeat there too. I don’t think they’re my favorites – Travis Head statement Travis Head recently told Star Sports that, “I don’t think they are my favourites. I think we play them a lot, play them a lot and I think I have been in good form for the last few years. So yes, it always feels good to play well. I think it is not difficult to prepare for the competition. It is very competitive. Yes, it’s easy to get ready for the games. So I wouldn’t say they are my favourites. They are extremely difficult, but it was nice to play well in a few games and I’m looking forward to preparing well and getting ready to play and hopefully contribute to a successful summer for us.”
ICC’s anti-corruption chief Alex Marshall warned of the danger of corruption from ‘poorly run T20 league’, know what he said
I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean: Alex Marshall Alex Marshall (Image Credit- Twitter X) Alex Marshall, chief of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit team, has recently assured the general public that the cricket they watch is completely corruption-free. He also warned that those who want to corrupt the game usually enter the system from local T20 leagues. These leagues are not run by the ICC but by its member countries. Marshall further said that as long as people want to make money, corrupt people will keep trying to get into the system. Alex Marshall, quoted by the Times of India, said, “I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean. But I am also convinced that the corrupt are constantly finding their way into the game, especially in the poorly run lower-level franchise T20 leagues. The danger to the game is that as long as there is money to be made, the corrupt will not be able to escape and they will find loopholes in the system to get involved.” He also spoke about how pleased he is with the growing number of players willing to report corruption, which helps the global body maintain the integrity of the sport. Marshall further said- I am glad to see the growing number of players trusting us to come and report such cases to us. But there was a time when players kept it a secret, which led to no action, but now they have confidence. Players have seen corrupt people being busted, which shows who the corrupt are, what their methods are. So, everyone is better protected and equipped to keep corruption away from the game. Marshall has been on this post for 7 years Let us tell you that Alex Marshall has been leading the ICC’s Anti Corruption Unit for the last 7 years. Under his leadership, special changes have been seen in the system. It was under Marshall’s leadership that an Indian bookie was foiled on the report of Shakib Al Hasan.
ICC CEO Geoff Allardyce has confirmed that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be held here
Geoff Allardyce has confirmed that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be hosted in Pakistan. Geoff Allardice (Image Credit- Twitter X) International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Geoff Allardice has confirmed that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be hosted in Pakistan. He said that they are not planning to change the hosting of the upcoming tournament at all. Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be played in the months of February and March 2025. For the upcoming tournament, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also started work in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi stadiums. Construction work has started in all these three venues and the upcoming tournament can be organized here. For quite some time now, there have been reports that this tournament can be played outside Pakistan. Actually, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not want to send Team India to Pakistan. Not only this, PCB also believes that except India, all the teams participating in the tournament have already visited Pakistan. In such a situation, India has no solid reason to refuse to tour Pakistan. Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be held in Pakistan itself A few days ago, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla had revealed that Team India’s tour of Pakistan will depend on the instructions given to them by the Indian government. The upcoming tournament will see fierce clashes between India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. West Indies and Sri Lanka will not be seen participating in the Champions Trophy 2025. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) takes on this. The Indian team has never toured Pakistan since 2008. It is also possible that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament may be played in a hybrid model, although no confirmation can be made about this right now.

Nathan Lyon gave important suggestion to ICC regarding the format of WTC Final
Nathan Lyon believes that the World Test Championship final should be played as a three-match Test series instead of a single Test. Nathan Lyon. (Image Source: CA Australia’s experienced spinner Nathan Lyon believes that the final of the World Test Championship should be played as a three-match Test series instead of a single Test. Let us tell you, recently the International Cricket Council has confirmed the venue and date of the final match of the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. This magnificent final will be played from 11 to 15 June at Lord’s Stadium in London. So far, New Zealand has won once in two cycles while Australia has won the World Test Championship trophy for the second time. Only one match was played in the final of both these cycles. Nathan Lyon said during an interview, ‘One thing I would like to see is that the final of the World Test Championship is played as a three-match series. It will be a little better because a single Test will not be as much fun and in a three-match Test series you will also have a chance to make a comeback. It is also possible that a team wins a three-match series 3-0. This will really be a big challenge.’ The World Test Championship is like a World Cup for me: Nathan Lyon Nathan Lyon further said, ‘You can go to England once, India once and Australia once and the situation there will also be different. We do not think that we will get to play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in mid-August. This is because at that time the players will face a lot of trouble here. To be honest, the World Test Championship is like a World Cup for me. When you are playing against the best teams for a long time, your game also improves. This cycle is of 2 years and it is very important for you to perform consistently well.
