So now a new name has been added to this list of Australia’s legendary wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist has said that the Australian management can play wicketkeeper batsman Josh English in the top order. Adam Gilchrist gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Cricket Australia has announced a 13-member team for the first match against India during BGT. After the announcement of this team, Adam Gilchrist in a discussion with Fox Cricket said- English is in the team as a reserve batsman, which Australia traditionally does not do in home conditions. I think McSweeney will open, but is he sticking to last year’s policy? We want our six best batsmen in Australia to play in the top six. Nathan McSweeney is a good looking player. They see his game being a little more suited to opening batting, while Josh English knows how to attack, so keep him in the top order. This is probably the best way to protect him. Australian team for the first match of BGT series against India Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh English, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc.

Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that while talking about the second day’s play of the ongoing second unofficial Test match between India A vs Australia A, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel- He (Abhimanyu Easwaran) was out once again, the score of India’s top four in the first innings was 0, 4, 0, 4. Here too, whether it is Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sai Sudarshan, KL Rahul or Ruturaj Gaikwad, no one is scoring runs. India A is not playing well, it comes to your mind that how are you preparing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. For this you sent your players early to practice and score runs. If they score runs, you can make up your mind to feed them. Abhimanyu Easwaran still has good chances to play. However, he has no comeback in these unofficial test matches. Based on that, you think he’s probably not ready.

IPL 2025: MS Dhoni will not play… whether he is the captain or not, he will always be a mentor for the team – Ponting’s big prediction
MS Dhoni (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Australia captain and new head coach of Punjab Kings, Ricky Ponting has told whether Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can adopt its own formula to manage MS Dhoni’s workload management in IPL 2025. He praised the former CSK captain for playing for so long in the Indian Premier League. CSK has retained Dhoni for Rs 4 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Former India and Chennai captain Dhoni was retained as an uncapped player as he last played an international match five years ago. Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction regarding 43-year-old Dhoni. Ponting says that CSK will not field Mahi in all the matches in IPL 2025. Before IPL 2025, Ricky Ponting gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni. Ricky Ponting feels that in order to increase Dhoni’s impact in the upcoming season of IPL, he will be given rest sometimes so that the workload can also be managed. Ponting said in the recent episode of ICC Review, “Two seasons ago he probably had his worst season but then he bounced back last year. He made an impact in some matches like the old MS Dhoni. I think it will be the same now. They may not field him the entire season. They can think of keeping him out of the match and giving him rest to ensure his best performance.” Let us tell you that under the leadership of Dhoni, CSK has won five IPL trophies. MS Dhoni had handed over the CSK captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad before IPL 2024. However, the Chennai team was not successful in reaching the playoffs last season. CSK stood fifth in the points table. Ponting said, “Whichever team he is in, whether he is the captain or not, he will always be a mentor and leader for that team. Even if he is playing or sitting outside. His height is so big. Dhoni is important for Chennai as he provides leadership on and off the field.”

IND vs NZ (Pic Source-X) Currently, the third test match between Team India and New Zealand is being played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The second day of the game has started and Team India has taken the lead in the first innings in this match. However, New Zealand has also made a very good comeback in the match. On the second day of the game, the spider cam suddenly stopped working due to which the umpire had to take the lunch break a little early. In fact, as soon as Ajaz Patel came to bowl the second over of his new spell, the spider cam stopped working. The field umpire decided that the game should be stopped for a while. However, New Zealand players looked at it humorously. When people came to the field to fix the spider cam, Daryl Mitchell was seen having a funny conversation with the umpire. After this the umpire decided to take a lunch break and the players of both the teams went back to their respective dressing rooms. Lunch break was also taken a few minutes earlier and by then the spider cam was also repaired. Here’s the video: pic.twitter.com/2RTloFZVr3 — Pandit Pranoob (@pranoob76889) November 2, 2024 New Zealand, batting first in this match, scored 235 runs after losing all the wickets. From the host side, Ravindra Jadeja bowled lethally and took 5 wickets while Washington Sundar took four wickets. Both these bowlers maintained a lot of pressure on New Zealand. In reply, Rishabh Pant batted aggressively and scored 60 runs on behalf of Team India while Shubman Gill played a valuable inning of 90 runs. Shubman Gill will be quite disappointed that he could not score a century in the first innings of the third Test. Apart from these two players, Yashasvi Jaiswal played an inning of 30 runs. Ravindra Jadeja failed to do wonders with the bat and was out after scoring 14 runs. Team India is in a very good position at the moment.

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.
