Michael Vaughan raised questions on Ollie Pope’s captaincy, gave 2 names for the next captain of England
Michael Vaughan believes England should groom Harry Brook as captain for the future. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has once again expressed concern over the leadership ability of England national cricket team’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope. Vaughan believes that even though England has achieved recent success under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, he should not be seen as a captain. According to Vaughan, Pope should be kept in the role of vice-captain rather than captain, as he is a great partner for Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope was given the responsibility of vice-captain ahead of the home series against Ireland in 2023. He then took over the captaincy on the tour of India and West Indies. However, Vaughan believes that both Pope’s leadership ability and his batting are still under question mark. Vaughan wrote in his column for ‘The Telegraph’ “Ollie Pope is a good vice-captain. He fits the bill well with Ben Stokes, his contribution to the team cannot be overlooked. But he is not yet ready for the role of captaincy.” Not every vice-captain can be made captain: Michael Vaughan Expressing his concern, Vaughan said, “Not every vice-captain is ready to become a captain. I think this applies to Ollie Pope’s case. He needs to focus more on his batting. If I am proven wrong by making Pope the captain, I will be happy, but I think he is a bit insecure right now.” Joe Root and Harry Brook can be made captain: Vaughan Vaughan believes that England should prepare Harry Brook as captain for the future. Vaughan suggested that if Stokes is unavailable and Brook is not ready for captaincy, then England should hand over the leadership responsibility to Joe Root again. Root’s experience can provide stability to the team. Vaughan finally said, “Pope has a chance to learn from England’s best batsman Root. He should go to Root and learn the nuances of batting.”
“We will know if they can replace them or not”- DK reveals the names of Pujara and Rahane’s replacements
Dinesh Karthik will be seen playing in Legends League Cricket. Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: Getty Images) At the end of the year 2024, Team India will tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Test Series. On this tour, Team India will be eyeing a hat-trick of victories. The Indian team has managed to beat the Kangaroos on their own land the last two times, so this time Team India will be eyeing to beat Australia in their own home for the third time in a row. However, this task is not going to be easy for Team India. In fact, many Indian players who were part of the last two Australian tours are no longer part of the current Test team. In such a situation, Team India will have to look for new players. The biggest tension in front of captain Rohit Sharma will be to find replacements for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Both these players played an important role in India’s victory on the last Australia tour. Recently, when former Team India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik was asked about the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane on the Australia tour, he named Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Dinesh Karthik’s statement on the replacement of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane During a Q&A session with Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan. Both these batsmen have done really well against England in the recent home series earlier in the year. I think both of them will definitely fly to Australia and try to do their best. We will know if they can replace both Ajinkya and Pujji (Pujara). They have a big role to play, but they have the quality and caliber.” Let us tell you that the doors of return to Team India have closed for Rahane and Pujara. Ajinkya Rahane recently scored his 40th first class century against Glamorgan while playing for Leicestershire in Division 2 of County Cricket in England. However, Pujara has been away from competitive cricket for a long time. BCCI did not give place to both Rahane and Pujara in the four squads selected for the Duleep Trophy.
IPL 2025 Mega Auction: SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad) will throw these 3 big names out of the team even if they don’t want to
SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. Poetry Maran. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025: These 3 big names will be out of SRH team!: The IPL 2025 mega auction is approaching, and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are looking to make some big changes to the team. SRH performed well in 2024 and finished runners-up, but this time they are all set to win the trophy. In this direction, SRH may have to release some top players even if they do not want to. Let’s know about the three key players whom SRH can drop from the team in the IPL 2025 auction. 1. Aidan Markram Aiden Markaram (Photo Source: Twitter) South African batsman Aiden Markram has been a part of SRH for the past few years and has also made a mark as the captain of SRH Eastern Cape in the SA20 League. However, his performance in IPL 2023 and 2024 has disappointed the team. His record as captain has not been good and the SRH management may consider releasing him and give a chance to new and influential players. 2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Pic Source-Twitter) Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most experienced players of SRH and played a vital role in leading SRH to the IPL title in 2016. But his form has declined in recent seasons. Bhuvi’s performance has been relatively weak after the injuries. The team may have to release Bhuvi to give a chance to young bowlers. 3. Marco Jensen Marco Jansen (Image Credit- Twitter) Marco Jensen made it to SRH on the basis of his talent, but his performance did not live up to expectations. Jensen did not perform well with the ball and bat last season, due to which SRH may release him in the auction. Why can SRH release these 3 players? Sunrisers Hyderabad wants to make a strong claim to win the title in IPL 2025. For this, they need balance and young energy in the team. Even though Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jensen have been important players for SRH, the team has to prepare itself for future challenges. Therefore, SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. This will not only set a new direction for the team but will also increase SRH’s chances of winning the title.

IPL owners can change the names of Hundred teams, know ECB’s big plan
England Board may allow IPL franchise owners to change names of teams to attract ‘Indian Money’.

According to media reports, the England Board may allow IPL franchise owners to change the names of the teams to attract ‘Indian Money’. All IPL owners will bid According to The Guardian report, the ECB is so keen to attract ‘Indian Money’ that even a minority investment will give strength to the new owners, especially when the owners of all the 10 IPL teams are expected to bid to buy shares in 8 teams. A source told The Guardian, All the IPL owners are saying they will bid but they would like some control over their cash. This is essentially a brand play for the IPL so we expect them to change the name, depending on the amount they invest. Mumbai Indians franchise will bid for London Spirit Ambani family, owners of Mumbai Indians, may be seen making a big bid for Hundred’s team London Spirit, which can be named MI London. Let us tell you, Mumbai already has teams like MI Cape Town, MI New York and MI Emirates in three other T20 leagues.

The American owners of Birmingham City, Knighthead Capital, have expressed interest in buying shares in Birmingham Phoenix. Investors include NFL legend Tom Brady. The governing body has been given the green signal by the counties to formally begin the process next month, which will be run by Raine Group, the US bank that managed United & Chelsea’s recent sale, The Guardian reports further.
