However, he expects other players to build small partnerships and take the lead in the first innings. Jadeja said, “As a batting unit, we need a collective effort. Didn’t think like this, miscommunication and misjudgment keep happening. We are 150 runs behind, small partnerships will be our game plan to take the team’s total above 230. He further said that it is always special to get a wicket for India in Tests. Felt good that I helped my team achieve success. It was not easy bowling in the heat, Washington bowled well and everyone played their part.

Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt is confident that the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be a huge success as it will be hosted in Pakistan. Champions Trophy (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistani cricketer Salman Butt is confident that the upcoming 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be a huge success as it will be hosted in Pakistan. This is because cricket enjoys immense popularity in Pakistan. He further said that the tournament will be even bigger than the recently concluded 2024 T20 World Cup, which was hosted by the West Indies and the United States of America (USA). The former Pakistan captain says that the US was chosen as the host for the 2024 T20 World Cup, but cricket was not popular there. Due to which the tournament could not be organized with much fanfare and was not much discussed. Butt explained in his YouTube video how things will be very different if the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is held on Pakistani soil- Salman Butt gave this statement on hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 “This event (ICC Champions Trophy 2025e) by Pakistan cannot be compared to the USA or any other country. It will definitely be a more successful event than the T20 World Cup. The pitches were not that good there, the stadiums were far away and the hotels were elsewhere. The locals did not know what was happening in their cities, only the foreigners living there knew about cricket.” It is worth noting that the ICC reportedly suffered huge financial losses by organizing the 2024 T20 World Cup in the US. New news agency PTIAccording to (via NDTV), the ICC had suffered a loss of around $20 million (approximately ₹167 crores). Salman Butt on the craze for cricket in Asia Explaining his point, Salman Butt highlighted that ICC events in Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are guaranteed to be a success due to the craze among fans. Butt said that although the teams had to travel a lot during the 2024 T20 World Cup, they will get presidential security in Pakistan, which will reduce their travel time considerably. “The love and respect that the players will get will be completely different when the tournament is played in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. Also, the teams will not have to travel for hours. Everything will be sealed and it will take just six minutes for the team to reach the stadium. This is presidential security, a feeling that can never be had in America.”

The West Indies cricket team is on a tour of England for a three-Test match series. The first match of this Test series starts on 10 July. Gus Atkinson and Kraigg Brathwaite (Pic Source X) The West Indies cricket team is on a tour of England for a three-Test match series. The first match of this Test series starts on July 10. The England-West Indies first Test match is being played at cricket’s most prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Both the teams are now directly challenging each other in the longest format of cricket after being out of the T20 World Cup 2024. The Lord’s Test match is also special because this match will be the last match of England’s great fast bowler James Anderson’s international career as he has announced his retirement. The England cricket team is led by all-rounder Ben Stokes, while the West Indies team is led by Craig Brathwaite. Talking about the match, England won the toss and Ben Stokes decided to bowl first in overcast conditions. The video of Craig Braithwaite’s bowl went viral England fast bowler Gus Atkinson made a brilliant start to his Test career. He bowled a superb delivery to dismiss West Indies captain Craig Brathwaite (6 runs), ending his innings and giving his team a chance to take the lead in the match. Atkinson bowled a good length delivery outside off-stump and Brathwaite tried to hit it and got out. He played the shot away from his body but the ball went in and he paid the price for it by getting out. Brathwaite bowed his head in disappointment as soon as he realised that the ball had hit the stumps. Brathwaite probably knew that he could have played it better.

Suryakumar Yadav posted a picture for the Pakistan team, the post went viral like fire within minutes
Team India’s Surya Bhau has given the update of Florida’s weather through his Instagram story. Surya Kumar Yadav Instagram Story (Pic Source X) Team USA has caught everyone’s attention by performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup. In the three matches played so far, the team has won two big matches and lost the match against India. But America did not let India win easily. America made a big upset by defeating a T20 World Cup winning team like Pakistan. Now their next match will be against their group team Ireland tonight on June 14. But everyone’s eyes are fixed on this match. Actually, today’s match will decide the path of Pakistan to reach Super 8. Only top 2 teams from each group will go for Super 8, but Pakistan has put its qualification in danger by losing 2 matches. Now they are just praying that America loses the match against Ireland so that their chances of going to Super 8 increase. But Pakistan’s team might get eliminated from the tournament. This is because, on 12th June, due to heavy rains in South Florida, many roads were flooded. After this, warnings of heavy rains and floods were issued and the problems for Pakistan have increased. Bad news for Pakistan? Three more matches are scheduled to be played on June 14, 15 and 16 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida. USA vs Ireland on June 14, India vs Canada on June 15 and Pakistan vs Ireland on June 16 will be played in Florida. Heavy rain is expected on all three days. This will have a big impact on the USA and Pakistan teams. Both teams are fighting for the Super 8, so there is a tough competition between Pakistan and America. Co-hosts USA will take on Ireland in a crucial Group A encounter on June 14 and will be looking for a win as a win for USA will help them qualify for the Super 8 stage. Even if the game gets cancelled, the Monank Patel-led side will qualify for the next round with five points from four matches. Hence, a washout will prove to be detrimental to Pakistan’s chances of qualifying for the next round as they are currently placed third on the points table with just one win from three matches and two points to their name. The Babar Azam-led side would want Ireland to beat the USA to stay in the race for the Super 8s. Suryakumar Yadav released an update for the Pakistan team Team India’s Surya Bhau has given an update on the weather in Florida through his Instagram story. Dark clouds are visible in his picture, which means there is a possibility of heavy rain. Pakistan’s team must have been terrified after hearing this news. If today’s match is cancelled due to rain, then Pakistan will be eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2024 today itself.
