Jack Crowley talks openly about the strategy of sweep and reverse sweep against Indian spinners.
Jack Crawley said, sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. India v England (Image Source : Twitter) The England team defeated India by 28 runs in the first match of the five-Test series to take a 1-0 lead in the series. In the Hyderabad Test, the English batsmen faced the Indian spinners bravely, especially Ollie Pope, who played a brilliant century. Meanwhile, opening batsman Zak Crawley says that the use of sweep and reverse sweep by the English batsmen against Indian spinners is a perfect way to throw out the spin plan. Zak Crawley scored 20 and 31 runs in both the innings respectively. Despite not playing big innings, Crawley played an important role in giving England a great start. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the second Test, Crawley elaborated on the strategy of playing a sweep or reverse sweep. It takes the spin out of the plan – Jack Crowley He said, I think sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. This takes spin out of the plan. I think reverse sweep is common for us because the ground is less there. It seems they always have two men on the leg side. If they had two men on the other side, we might have played a sweep. The reverse sweep probably comes as naturally to us as the common sweep. Speaking on baseball, he said, it (baseball) comes naturally because many teams are playing more aggressively. When I first came to England the mentality was to take my time and play a long innings. I didn’t think it would come naturally to me and some other people. A lot of us play a little better under that. Zak Crawley feels that the Indian team is very strong in its home conditions despite the absence of many key players in the upcoming second Test. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli is already out of two Tests, while KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja suffered injuries, due to which they have been ruled out of the second Test.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan believes that the injury will not affect Bumrah due to the absence of Mohammed Shami. Pathan said that his action is now perfect so he does not need to worry too much about the injury. Shami has been out of action since the 2023 ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury, while Bumrah returned after suffering a stress fracture in August last year after being away from cricket for 11 months. Bumrah was one of the successful bowlers for India, taking six wickets in both innings in the shock 28-run defeat against England in the first Test. Speaking to PTI TV, Irfan Pathan admitted that Shami’s absence was affecting the team, but also said that there was no risk of injury to Bumrah. Bumrah gave a big statement regarding the absence of Mohammed Shami and Bumrah. Pathan said, “Obviously Shami’s absence will have an impact but it does not mean that the chances of Bumrah getting injured will increase. His action is absolutely perfect now. When there is pressure from both sides, whether it is Shami taking wickets from one side or Bumrah working quietly. “On one hand, Bumrah is taking wickets and Shami is quietly working, their partnership not only reduces pressure on each other but is also good for the team.” Although the first Test was played on a spin-friendly wicket, Bumrah bowled around 25 overs on that pitch, of which he bowled 16.1 overs in the second innings. Bumrah has been in great form since his return from injury last year and is the fourth leading wicket-taker with 20 wickets. Bumrah also played a key role in India’s second Test win against South Africa in Cape Town, taking six wickets in the second innings.

ECB took this big step for structural change in women’s cricket, also made this request to the county teams
This move by ECB will bring a taste of local flavor to the lost club cricket. England and Wales Cricket Board (Image Source: ECB) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has taken a big step towards structural change in women’s cricket in the country. The ECB has said that county teams need to show their will, so that women’s club cricket can be revived once again in the country. So in this regard, the governing body has invited tenders from county teams for 8 tier 1 professional women’s cricket clubs. So this step is being considered as the biggest change in the fields of women’s cricket in England in the last 5 years. The new structure will replace the current structure which has been in place since 2020. Under the previous arrangement, all county teams played cricket in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, which was under the direct control of the ECB. More than one team used to participate in these tournaments. On the other hand, the reason behind the change in the current structure by the ECB is to solve the problem which has affected the regional teams for some time. The ECB is working on bringing together all county and club women’s teams before the start of 2025. This step of the board, apart from helping the teams to create their own identity, will also increase regional participation in the game, which is currently lacking. This will make it easier for the board to market women’s cricket, and the responsibility, ownership and operation of club teams will be handed over to the club. Regarding this step of the board, Beth Barrett-Wild, Director of Professional Women’s Sports at ECB, quoted ESPN Cricinfo as saying – The regional model was launched in the year 2020, in which it was said that women’s cricket should be professionalized as soon as possible. Was. I think a fantastic job has been done on it. But we have 88 professional women cricketers in 8 club teams, who are ready to play 102 matches in the coming year.
IND vs ENG: “Shubman Gill can play only on flat wickets” – Mohammad Kaif criticized the young batsman
Shubman Gill was a flop with the bat in the first test match against England. Mohammad Kaif and Shubman Gill (Image Credit- Twitter) Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has said that Shubman Gill is a talented batsman, but his game is suited to white-ball cricket on flat pitches.

In 44 matches, he has scored 2,271 runs at an average of 61.37 and a strike rate of 103.46, including six centuries and 13 fifties. However, his average in 21 Test matches is only 29.52, which has been quite disappointing. Mohammad Kaif gave a big statement regarding Shubman Gill In an interview with The Times of India, Mohammad Kaif said, “Shubman Gill is a very talented batsman, no doubt about that, but his game is of white-ball cricket and flat wickets which is difficult for us in limited overs internationals. Get. But in Test cricket you will not get flat wickets, the ball will bounce, the ball will spin, so Gill will have to work on his footwork and I am sure he will make the necessary changes and score runs again.” In the first test in Hyderabad England Speaking about India’s batting performance against India, Kaif pointed out that the set batsmen did not convert fifties into centuries which was a big mistake. 43-year-old Kaif has said, “Most of the Indian batsmen got good starts in the first innings, but to score big in Test cricket, you have to stay on the wicket and play according to the situation. I am sure head coach Rahul Dravid must have talked to him about this.” During the conversation, Kaif also said that the ability of Indian batsmen to play spin has reduced considerably. Referring to debutant Tom Hartley’s seven wickets in the second innings, he said that this young player learned from the Indian spinners and was the most important contributor to England’s 28-run victory.
