However, the experienced player has been dropped from the Mumbai team of Ranji Trophy. According to the team management, Prithvi Shaw’s fitness is not good at the moment and that is why he has been dropped from the Mumbai squad. Greg Chappell wrote in his letter, ‘Hello Earth, I can understand whatever problem you are facing at this time. You will be very sad to be out of Mumbai team. This is really a bad thing but these moments are the turning points of an athlete. This will improve your career and you will also see a lot of change within you. I have full hope that you will be seen performing brilliantly once again. Setbacks are a part of every great athlete’s story. Legendary players like Sir Don Bradman were also dropped from the team and he made a very good comeback. He has not run away from the challenge and has faced it brilliantly. I have also had a drop in my career but it has been a memorable experience. What’s happened before doesn’t tell you anything about Earth: Greg Chappell Greg Chappell further wrote in his letter, ‘I remember seeing you in the India U-19 team in which you performed tremendously and it was really great to see you playing. Those who know about your abilities are watching your journey carefully and we all know that your best performance is yet to come. Whatever has happened before does not represent you, Earth. You are still going through your best time and we are confident that you will return to the team even better. A player has to go through all these things in his cricketing career.

(Image Source: BCB) Bangladesh fast bowler Ibadat Hossain was injured during the ODI series against Afghanistan at home in July 2023.

This is part of the rehab process and there may be some restrictions (as far as his bowling is concerned). Ibadat is ready to return He (Ibadat) has to get his rhythm back and the only way to achieve that is to bowl in the matches and that is what we are focusing on at the moment. If he feels fine after bowling then it is fine but if that is not the case then he can get some time to recover and work on the areas that he needs to develop before the BPL. Let us tell you that Ibadat Hussain has played 20 test matches for Bangladesh and has taken 42 wickets at an average of 47.14.

It is noteworthy that in November, India will leave for Australia tour for this five-match series. There can be a tough competition between both the teams during this series. On the other hand, before the start of this series, a very worrying news is coming out from the Australian camp. Let us tell you that during this series, Josh Hazlewood, one of the trio of Australian fast bowlers, may miss playing some matches during this series. Josh Hazlewood gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the Border-Gavaskar series, Josh Hazlewood said in a discussion with The Australian – We (Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood) played together last year, but it was probably only once. You have to take it as it comes. Because this is not T20 or ODI, you are going to bowl 4 or 10 overs. It is like in bowling you can sometimes bowl 25 or sometimes 50 overs. Therefore, there is no point in planning for it now. If you are fit to play then play and if not then don’t play. It’s as simple as that, no one rests in a Test match and if you are ready to go the day before, you play and if you are not, you sit. We’ve got a lot going on with the addition of some people who we know can do a really good job.

It is difficult to beat India in India, but if the match is held in Sharjah then India will face problems – Asghar Afghan Asghar Afghan (Photo Source: Getty Images) Afghanistan’s veteran player Asghar Afghan is playing for Gujarat Giants in Legends League Cricket. Asghar Afghan retired from international cricket after the T20 World Cup 2021. He has played 6 Tests, 114 ODIs and 75 T20 matches for Afghanistan. Recently, Asghar Afghan talked about many things in an exclusive interview with CricTracker. He made a big statement about Afghanistan’s first ODI win against South Africa recently. Afghan also made a big claim that Afghanistan will now defeat India as well. If the match had been played between South Africa and England, perhaps the result would have been different- Asghar Afghan The three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and South Africa is being played in the UAE. In the first match of the series, Afghanistan defeated South Africa for the first time in the ODI format by winning by 6 wickets. At the same time, the team then won the second ODI by 177 runs and achieved the biggest victory in this format. Talking about Afghanistan’s performance in the ODI series against South Africa, Asghar Afghan said, Teams face difficulties in playing against Afghanistan in Sharjah because it is our home ground and we know how the wicket is at any given time. If this match had taken place in South Africa and England, the result would have been different. But there is no doubt that Afghanistan has played great cricket and bowled brilliantly. If we look at it on paper, the players of the Afghanistan team have more experience than South Africa. Because apart from one or two players, many players play a lot of cricket. The team will now defeat India as well- Afghan Asghar Afghan was asked another question whether Afghanistan can beat India in the upcoming series, to which the veteran replied, You can’t say anything in cricket. The match between Afghanistan and India was tied in the 2018 Asia Cup. Recently, the last match of the T20 series of the India tour was tied and a super over was played. There is no doubt that Afghanistan is a great team. You cannot say whether you will be able to defeat this team or not because cricket is a day game, whoever plays well will win the match. If a series is played between India and Afghanistan, then Afghanistan will give them a tough challenge. It is difficult to defeat India in India, but if the match is held in Sharjah, then India will have to face difficulties. These are false rumours- Asghar Afghan said about the ban on cricket in Afghanistan There have been reports in the media for a long time that cricket may be banned in Afghanistan. Let us tell you, the Taliban government has already banned women from playing cricket. Further, the third question asked to Asghar Afghan in the exclusive interview was about the ban on cricket in Afghanistan, to which he…
