Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph came to bowl the fourth over, but he did not seem happy with the fielding setup imposed by captain Shai Hope. Alzari also took one wicket in that over without giving any runs, but he did not look happy during the entire over and after the end of the over, he got angry with the captain and walked out of the field. Watch the video here- Alzarri Joseph left the field in anger because he wasn’t happy with the captain’s field placement. West Indies had only 10 fielders for an entire over, until he finally made a return on field.

Tim Southee’s performance has been very good in India. He has taken 20 wickets at an average of 28.70. Tim Southee (Photo Source: New Zealand now has to tour India for a three-match Test series. The first match of this Test series is starting from 16th October in Bengaluru. Let us tell you that recently New Zealand was defeated by Sri Lanka in the two-match Test series at home. Sri Lanka won this test series by 2-0. Tim Southee resigned from the post of captain of New Zealand after losing the Test series against Sri Lanka. Now the responsibility of captaining the Kiwi team has been handed over to Tom Latham. It is looking very difficult to replace Tim Southee in the playing XI under the captaincy of Tom Latham. Let us tell you that Tim Southee’s performance has been very good in India. He has taken 20 wickets at an average of 28.70. However, the New Zealand team can keep only two fast bowlers in its playing XI in the upcoming Test series. If this happens then it could be two fast bowlers Matt Henry and William O’Rourke. New Zealand team head coach Gary Stead has not revealed what happened between him and Tim Southee after the test series defeat against Sri Lanka. According to ESPNcricinfo, Gary Stead said, ‘Just like we review after all Test tours and series, Tim Southee and I had a conversation among ourselves and only after that he decided to step down from the post of captaincy. He felt that this would prove to be right for the team and I also supported his decision. Tim Southee used to start for us and lead the team well: Gary Stead Stead further said, ‘It is very important to see different players in their role as a selector or coach as it brings out the best in the team. Tim Southee was a player who used to start for us and also lead the team and we always look for that option which can take the team forward. It is very important for New Zealand to win the three-match Test series against India. The New Zealand team must be feeling very sad due to the defeat against Sri Lanka but now all the players will be seen to perform well in the upcoming test series.

His batting average is currently higher than legends like Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, Joe Root and Virat Kohli, who are considered four of the best players in modern cricket. In the list of all-time best averages of batsmen (after playing a minimum of 20 innings), Shakeel is second just after the great Australian batsman Donald Bradman.

“This is the best time….”- Mandeep Singh’s big statement after leaving Punjab team
It’s not like I can’t go back, I left on good terms- Mandeep Singh Mandeep Singh (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian batsman Mandeep Singh has announced his separation from the Punjab Cricket Association. He will be seen playing for Tripura in the upcoming domestic season. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Mandeep, Punjab ended the 30-year drought and won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023-24 title. He was the key player of the team in all formats, scoring more than 14 thousand runs and scoring 19 centuries and 81 half-centuries for the team. Mandeep Singh recently revealed the reason why he decided to leave the Punjab team. The player says that this is the right time to leave the team. It was my biggest dream to win the trophy for Punjab- Mandeep Singh Mandeep Singh while talking to ESPNcricinfo said, It was my big dream to win a trophy for Punjab, which we achieved last season. So, I felt it was the best time to leave. And it’s not like I can’t go back, I left on good terms. I hope to finish with Punjab because my heart is with Punjab. Mandeep Singh further told about whether he is going to become the captain of Tripura cricket team? I have not spoken about it (with Tripura Cricket Association regarding captaincy). I spoke to my coach PV Sasikant, but we only discussed how to take the team forward. Everything is a bit new for me. Mandeep’s biggest goal is to return to IPL Mandeep further talked about his goals, he said that he wants to play in all three formats and also wants to make a comeback in the IPL. He has also cited players like Suryakumar Yadav and Shashank Singh as his inspiration. I have some goals, to play all three formats and then, to come back to IPL. Obviously, if you come back to IPL and perform well, you can get into the Indian team. If I am not wrong, Suryakumar Yadav played for India at the age of 30. Shashank Singh is 32-33 (32). He got his first taste of success in IPL last year. So the motivations are right in front of me.
“Including Riyan Parag, leaving out Abhishek and Gaikwad is a different story….”- Statement by former cricketer
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra shared his thoughts on the recent team selection for India’s upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka. Chopra spoke about some of the major decisions taken during the selection, including the inclusion of Riyan Parag in the squad despite his poor performance in the recent T20I series against Zimbabwe and the decision to give vice-captaincy to Shubman Gill in place of Hardik Pandya. Team India is scheduled to play three T20Is and three ODIs against Sri Lanka in Pallekele from July 27. Meanwhile, in a video posted on his YouTube channel, Chopra elaborated on the T20I squad announced for the series.

Aakash Chopra talked about the squad selected for the Sri Lanka tour In the video, Aakash Chopra said, “Shubman Gill is the vice-captain, and this is a big story. Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of the Indian team in the World Cup. He also performed very well. India also won the World Cup, but after that his name is not there as the vice-captain.” The former Indian then further said, “Riyan Parag’s name is in both the teams, in ODIs as well as T20Is. His name is there despite the Zimbabwe tour not being that good. Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s name is not there. I am talking about T20Is. Both of their names are not there, but Riyan Parag’s is there. This in itself tells a different story.” Parag could only score 24 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 88.88 during the T20 series against Zimbabwe. In contrast, Abhishek Sharma scored 124 runs in four innings including a century at a strike rate of 174.64, while Gaikwad scored 133 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 158.33. The first T20 match of the series against Sri Lanka will be played on 27 July in Pallekele and the ODI match will be played from 2 August in Colombo.
