Usman Khawaja further said, ‘You take some risks, especially if you bat in the middle order, and T20 cricket is not easy. He is just one good innings away from getting back in form. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. He is not going to change his game nor should he do so. Just keep moving forward, he will find his form.’ Glenn Maxwell has not yet joined the Australian team for the T20 World Cup 2024.

If it is a matter of fitness, I would never let Azam Khan come anywhere near the team: Shahid Afridi
Questions have always been raised about Azam Khan’s fitness. Azam Khan (Pic Source-X) Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has raised questions on Azam Khan’s fitness.

Former players have also criticized Azam Khan fiercely. Azam Khan’s performance has always been very good in the Pakistan Super League but he has failed to make a mark in international cricket. Shahid Afridi while talking on a local TV channel said, ‘Fitness is the most important thing. If you are fit then your body also supports you on the field, whether you are batting or bowling or fielding. A player should always be serious about his fitness. I would never keep Azam Khan around the team if it is a matter of fitness.’ Shahid Afridi put forward his opinion regarding the Pakistan team for T20 World Cup 2024 Shahid Afridi further said, ‘While wicket-keeping in England, the ball goes behind the stumps a lot. However, this is not seen in West Indies. The ball mostly stays low and I pray that he does not face much difficulty while wicket-keeping. It is very difficult to wicket-keep with such fitness in the conditions of West Indies against spinners because the ball stays very low here and you also have to keep your body low.’ Pakistan is currently playing a 4-match T20 series against England. The first match between the two teams was cancelled due to rain while the second one was won by England.

‘This is a matter of shame and…’ – Mohammed Shami came out in support of KL Rahul, taught manners to Sanjeev Goenka
The commentator had also expressed his displeasure while reacting to the discussion between Goenka and KL Rahul. Such serious discussions should take place behind closed doors. There are so many cameras installed in the ground that if you are talking with such gestures, you will be captured in some camera or the other. But KL Rahul has given a very good reply by not shouting at him and remaining calm. After such treatment of KL Rahul, the statement of Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has come to light. He said that this is a matter of great shame. In support of his teammate KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami said- Mohammed Shami said- “Players have respect and you are also a respected person because you are the owner of a team. Many people are watching you and learning from you. If these things happen in front of the camera, it is a matter of shame. If you need to do this, there are several different methods. You could do the same in the dressing room or hotel. It was not necessary to do this on the field.” “If the plan has been made and did not succeed, it is not a big deal. Anything is possible in the game. I understand there can be good days and bad days, but every player is respected, and this sends a very wrong message.” However, till now no statement has come from KL Rahul and Sanjeev Goenka on this matter.
IPL 2024: Even though DC has given a crushing defeat to RR, these 3 aspects are still a matter of concern for the team.
Even though Delhi Capitals have won the match against Rajasthan, there are still some areas where they desperately need to improve themselves.

Even though Delhi Capitals have won the match against Rajasthan, there are still some areas where they desperately need to improve themselves. Today we will tell you about three main things which Delhi will have to improve in the upcoming matches. 1- Poor performance of the fast bowling lineup of Delhi Capitals Khaleel Ahmed. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) For Delhi, against Rajasthan Royals, Kuldeep Yadav gave only four runs in the 18th over and took two important wickets. Because of his bowling, the brilliant spinner was awarded the Player of the Match award. This is not the first time that a spinner has played an important role in the victory of Delhi Capitals. The spinners have performed very well for the team in IPL 2024 but the fast bowlers have failed to leave their mark. In some matches, the fast bowlers of Delhi team have bowled very well but mostly they have been seen giving away runs. Khalil Ahmed has bowled very well in the powerplay but he has not been able to leave his mark in the death. Not only this, Anrich Nortje’s performance has been very poor this season. It is very important for Delhi’s fast bowlers to bowl well in the remaining matches.

Despite not being a part of Australia’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad, Jake Fraser-McGurk has continued to excel under the guidance of Ricky Ponting. Recently, this young player has revealed that Ricky Ponting is behind his brilliant batting, Ponting has given him special advice. Jake said that Ponting told him some things about his bat swing, which helped him a lot. Jake Fraser-McGurk, speaking to the Willow Talk podcast, told: “What Ponting said to me really stuck in my mind till now. He told that when I swing the ball at 80 percent instead of 100 percent, I hit the ball much further. All you have to do is connect the ball with the middle of the bat and the ball will go straight across the boundary for a six. I said, ‘Okay, that’s good advice,’ because my head shakes when I swing the bat hard.” “I watched the footage of all the matches I played except the IPL and he is right, when I swing the bat very hard, my head is shaking while practicing on the ball. Ponting is a man who can catch these small things. It’s the little things that you don’t notice…his advice blew my mind.”
“It is only a matter of time for players like Rohit Sharma” – Michael Clarke said on Hitman’s form
Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke shared his views on Rohit Sharma’s recent form. Actually, Rohit started IPL 2024 in a brilliant manner, but in the last six IPL matches (6, 8, 4, 11, 4 and 4) there has been a decline in his form. Rohit made a great start to the tournament, scoring 261 runs in the first six matches at an average of 52.20 and an excellent strike rate of 167.31. However, his average fell below 15 in his next six matches and he managed only 69 runs during this period. In the most recent match of Mumbai Indians against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rohit was out after scoring 4 runs in 5 balls. Talking about Rohit’s form, Clarke said that the team is not worried about it. It is just a matter of time that Rohit will be back in form soon. Michael Clarke’s big statement regarding Rohit Sharma In Star Sports show Cricket Live Rohit Sharma Said, “How many times have you seen good balls get hit? This happened with Sky (Suryakumar Yadav). Exactly the same ball, exactly the same shot, except it went for six, Rohit was out on the same ball. Rohit, being the intelligent player he is, his own performance will undoubtedly be a disappointment, especially considering his strong start. In my opinion, a break to freshen up could do wonders for him, but as an Indian captain and a key player of Mumbai Indians you don’t get breaks, so he has to regain form. Clarke further said, “I saw him bat in the nets the day before the last match when his back was a little stiff. He was in a very good mood. She’s happy, which is actually a good sign. It doesn’t look like he’s struggling with his timing, it’s just a matter of getting out. With a player like Rohit, it is only a matter of time that he regains his form. Hopefully, he will stress less and focus on his game because he is too talented to miss time and again. He is at his best when he is timing the ball rather than trying to force it. He is a great player and I have no doubt that he will be back soon. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen again in the World Cup (laughs).”
