Pat Cummins & his Wife and Michael Clarke (Photo Source: The Australian team recently suffered a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series against Pakistan. Under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan created history, the team won the ODI series on Australian soil after 22 years. Pakistan had to face defeat by 2 wickets in the first match of the series. Then after Pakistan won by 9 wickets in the second ODI, the series was tied at 1-1. The third ODI was played in Perth on 10 November. Captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were released from the squad in preparation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pakistan again showed amazing form in the third ODI and won by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife and on the other hand Australia lost in the series decider match. Former Australian player Michael Clarke says that if he had been in Cummins’ place, the media would have taken him to task. Michael Clarke said this about Pat Cummins and the Australian team Michael Clarke emphasized that there were 11 days from the last ODI against Pakistan to the first Test against India. Therefore, the players who were rested could play. Michael Clarke speaking on ESPNcricinfo I think the media would have completely torn me apart. I think I have said in the last few days how I felt about Test players not playing the last one day. I would have loved to see them play that game. There were 11 days from the last ODI to the first Test, so I thought they all could have played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand, but I’m sure the batsmen who were kept out could probably play.
BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”

In fact, while chasing the target, South Africa batted aggressively in the last overs. During this time, a ball went to him in the last over, while trying to catch it, he fell on the field and hit his head hard. There is nothing to worry about – Tilak Verma After this, Tilak Verma lay down there holding his head. The physio examined him, after which he was allowed to continue fielding. After the match was over, he gave an update on his injury. He told that he is fine and there is nothing to worry about. Tilak was quoted as saying by India Today, “I am fine, I could not see the ball properly due to light, so it was a bit difficult to catch but I am happy with the victory.” Along with this, the 22-year-old player thanked captain Suryakumar Yadav for sending him higher in the batting order. “I can’t imagine and I can’t put into words,” he said. This was my dream and it was the right time to score a century for my team. This was a sort of decider in the series from Prakas. Under pressure, it was a good innings. Full credit for this goes to Captain Suryakumar Yadav. They gave me a chance (at three).
