Despite losing the test against Sri Lanka, captain Tim Southee is happy with the performance of William O’Rourke and Rachin Ravindra
Host Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand by 63 runs in the first Test match. Tim Southee (Image Credit- Twitter X) New Zealand is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series. The first match of this Test series between the two teams was played at the Galle International Cricket Stadium. Let us tell you that New Zealand’s performance on this ground was not very good. The Kiwi team had to face five defeats here and a defeat by an innings and 10 wickets in one match. Something similar was seen once again when host Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand by 63 runs in the first Test match on this ground. However, even after this defeat, the performance of two players from the New Zealand cricket team was worth noting. One was bowler William O’Rourke and the other was young all-rounder Rachin Ravindra. William O’Rourke impressed in the Galle Test match by taking five wickets in the first innings and three wickets in the second innings, while Rachin held one end by scoring 92 runs in the second innings. Now, after the match is over, captain Tim Southee has given a big statement. Tim Southee gave a big statement After the first test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand ended in Galle, Tim Southee said- William O’Rourke has had a very short test career so far, and he has certainly announced it himself. We saw in New Zealand how dangerous he can be. He has the skills to have a very good Test career. For him to come in his first Test on the subcontinent and perform so well by taking 8 wickets in the match is nothing short of extraordinary. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders and he can become a big player, so there is a lot to like about William O’Rourke. Saudi further said about Rachin- Rachin (Ravindra) kept us in the Test match chase. We knew it was going to be tough, as the pitch was turning a lot in the last few days. It was a brilliant innings by Rachin in those conditions.

Pakistan-England Test series matches can be shifted to Sri Lanka or UAE, know the big reason?
England to tour Pakistan for a three-match Test series in October PAK vs ENG (Image Credit- Twitter X) Next month, the Pakistan cricket team is scheduled to host England in a 3-match home Test series. However, now some media reports are claiming that due to the construction work currently going on in Pakistan’s cricket stadium, the series may be shifted to Sri Lanka or UAE. It is worth noting that these three Test matches are included in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC), which is going to be important for England along with Pakistan. The first match of this series will be played from October 7 in Multan, the second Test match in Karachi and the third Test match in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. However, now due to the construction work going on in the stadiums of the country, due to hosting the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, this series between Pakistan and England can be transferred to another country. At the same time, there is little chance that this series can shift to UAE, because the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be held in UAE between 3 and 20 October. Moreover, the arrival of England’s Barmy Army fan group is posing another problem, and hosting the matches without crowds is not a feasible option for the PCB. Now it will be interesting to see which venues the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) finalises for these matches. Also, after some time, PCB can share information about the new venues after talking to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). Pakistan was defeated by Bangladesh 2-0 It is worth noting that recently Pakistan has faced defeat in the two-match home Test series against Bangladesh. This is the first time in Bangladesh Test cricket history that they have won against Pakistan in a series. It will be interesting to see how the Pak team is going to perform in the upcoming Test series against England after this humiliating defeat?
