However, due to rain, only 35 overs could be bowled on the first day of play in which Bangladesh scored 107 runs losing three wickets. Due to rain, not a single ball has been bowled yet on the second day of play. However, reports are coming out that after the first session of the second day’s play ended due to rain, both the teams boarded their respective team buses and went back to the hotel. It is raining heavily in Kanpur at the moment and it is looking very difficult to play the game on the second day also. This is the reason why now both the teams have returned to their respective hotels. Team India is ahead 1-0 in the two-match test series. Let us tell you that the first test was played between these two teams in Chennai, which Team India won by 280 runs. In the first Test for the hosts, all the players performed brilliantly and played an important role in their team’s victory. Along with the batsmen, the bowlers also left their mark in the first test. Talking about the second test, Bangladesh did not have such a good start in this match and Zakir Hasan returned to the pavilion without opening his account. Shadman Islam scored 24 runs while captain Nazmul Hasan Shanto was out on a personal score of 31 runs. So far in this match, Akash Deep has taken two wickets while Ravichandran Ashwin has taken one wicket. Before the start of this Test series, Bangladesh had defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the two-match Test series. However, till now Bangladesh has failed to show tremendous performance in this test series. The team has many players who are struggling with poor form. Talking about Team India, they have performed tremendously in this Test series so far. Not only this, Team India is at the first position in the points table of the World Test Championship.

BGT 2024-25: “If we play well against them then…”, Glenn Maxwell said about Ashwin-Jadeja.
These two (Ashwin and Jadeja) are the only players we have faced consistently – Glenn Maxwell R Ashwin, Glenn Maxwell & Ravindra Jadeja (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian cricket team is going to tour Australia for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in November this year. Team India had won 2-1 in both the previous Test series in Australia. Rohit Sharma and Co. now aim to win their third consecutive Test series on Australian soil. Meanwhile, Glenn Maxwell has described India’s spin pair Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as game changers. The all-rounder believes that if Australia faces these two players well then the team will be in a better position. Glenn Maxwell said this about Ashwin and Jadeja Glenn Maxwell while speaking on Star Sports said, I think after playing against players like Ashwin and Jadeja for a long time, it feels like both of them are players we have faced consistently and our battles with them often determine the outcome of the game. If we play well against those two (Ashwin, Jadeja), we will generally find ourselves in a better position. Both of them have been with me for most of my career because they are almost the same age. Ashwin and Jadeja have played a huge role in the previous India-Australia matches. Together they have taken 821 wickets in 330 innings, including 50 five-wicket hauls. Maxwell gave this statement regarding Jasprit Bumrah Speaking further, Glenn Maxwell praised Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. At present, Bumrah is performing brilliantly in all three formats. He won the Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup 2024 by taking 15 wickets in 8 matches. I was there in his (Jasprit Bumrah) first season of IPL in Mumbai in 2013 and faced him almost every day in the nets. It is an amazing story to see him go from being a young, untapped talent to possibly the best bowler across all three formats to what he is today.
“He had no motivation left to play domestic cricket”- Shikhar Dhawan opens up about his retirement
Shikhar Dhawan (Photo Source: LLC) Legendary India opener Shikhar Dhawan has opened up about his decision to retire from all forms of cricket, saying he had no “motivation” left to play domestic cricket or the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhawan, who retired in August at the age of 38, opened up about his decision while speaking on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket event. Former opener Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday revealed that he no longer had the “motivation” to play domestic cricket to make it to the national team and that was the reason he decided to retire from the game last month. “I did not want to play domestic cricket which I started playing at the age of 18 or 19. I did not have the motivation to play this format of cricket,” Dhawan, who is playing in the Legends League tournament, said in an interview to PTI. Shikhar Dhawan dominated the ICC tournament Shikhar Dhawan emerged as one of India’s leading white-ball players, especially in ICC tournaments, where he has the highest average (65.15) among all Indian batsmen. During his illustrious career, he captained the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the 2021 series against Sri Lanka. Dhawan led India in 12 ODIs, winning seven and losing three. “If I look back, in the last two years I was not playing much international cricket and I was only playing the IPL so I was not playing much cricket (overall),” the opener said. Despite his successful tenure as captain, Dhawan’s international career gradually slowed down. He was ignored from the team after the arrival of players like Shubman Gill. Dhawan played his last match for India in December 2022, marking the end of an important era for Indian cricket.

This tournament will be jointly organized by India and Sri Lanka. The 36-year-old Russell was considering retiring from international cricket after the 2024 T20 World Cup but revealed that he changed his decision after a conversation with West Indies head coach Darren Sammy and will now prepare his body for the next mega tournament. Russell is one of the biggest names in T20 cricket. He has scored 1033 runs at a strike rate of 163.70 and taken 60 wickets in 82 T20 Internationals for the West Indies. Talking about continuing his international career for the West Indies, Russell said that the Caribbean team has a lot of talent, but he wants to inspire the young players so that they can become even better and fight for their place in the team. Why should I retire: Andre Russell Speaking to Jamaica Gleaner, Russell said, “I spoke to Sammy and he told me that he wants me to play international cricket for a few more years. Seeing the talent in the Caribbean team, I think I will push my body more and play international cricket for the next two years.” Russell further said, “I definitely want to play in the 2026 World Cup because I have a lot of talent that can come out. I could have retired from international cricket, but I want to see how the young all-rounders perform. I can still hit the ball anywhere, bowl at a good pace, am still fit and can run in the field. I don’t think I should stop now.” Andre Russell’s current status Currently, Andre Russell is playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). His team has won five out of eight matches so far and has qualified for the playoffs, which will start on October 1. The Kieron Pollard-led side will next play against Barbados Royals and Guyana Amazon Warriors and if they win both the matches, they will secure their place in the top two, giving them two chances to qualify for the final.

Kohli bhai came to me and asked me if I wanted the bat. Who wouldn’t want a bat from Virat bhai? He is a legend. I was happy to hear his words. He asked me what kind of bat I need while batting. I was speechless and was just laughing. He came to me and said take this bat. Not only this, I also took his autograph on his bat. Akash Deep’s recent form has been quite good Let us tell you that this young player had performed very well in the Duleep Trophy 2024 as well.

EXCLUSIVE: Pragyan Ojha Interview with CricTracker: How long will Dhoni play in IPL, who will be India’s next all format captain and how to find another off-spinner like Ravichandran Ashwin? Pragyan Ojha answered all these questions
Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview with Crictracker (Source Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers team under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.

Ben Curran, brother of Sam Curran and Tom Curran, decided to leave England and play for Zimbabwe cricket; know why?
While Tom and Sam Curran took their careers to great heights in England, their middle brother Ben Curran is now embarking on a fresh cricketing career with his native country Zimbabwe. Sam Curran, Tom Curran & Ben Curran (Source X) The Curran brothers are among the most successful cricketers in England, but the journey of all three has been quite different from each other. While Tom and Sam Curran took their careers to great heights in England, their middle brother Ben Curran is now making a new beginning in his cricketing career with his native country Zimbabwe. Ben Curran is the son of Zimbabwean great Kevin Curran. The Curran brothers spent their early life in Rusape in eastern Zimbabwe. After their father passed away in 2012, all the brothers moved to England, where Tom and Sam made their mark with Surrey and the England national team. However, 28-year-old Ben Curran took a different path. After playing with Northamptonshire, he is now continuing his cricket journey in Zimbabwe, where he is eligible for national selection. Recently, Ben scored 458 runs in the Logan Cup, Zimbabwe’s premier first-class competition, including two half-centuries and a century. “I have a deep connection to Zimbabwe” – Ben Curran Speaking to Cricbuzz, Ben said, “My accent is a bit of a mix of both England and Zimbabwe, but I have a deep connection to Zimbabwe. Most of my childhood memories are from there, and my parents are from there too. When we were young, I was probably four or five years old, we moved to Zimbabwe. I have spent most of my life there.” “What a story that would be” – Ben Curran Ben Curran realises that playing for Zimbabwe will be a great achievement for him. Interestingly, next year England will host Zimbabwe and Ben might have the opportunity to play against one of his brothers. He said, “What a story it would be if it happened. Probably a little weird, special and mixed emotions. But it would be even more special for my mother.” “I will complete the journey like my father” – Ben Curran Ben Curran’s journey is similar to that of his father Kevin Curran, who played cricket for both Zimbabwe and Northamptonshire. He said- “It’s a full circle. My dad played for Northampton and now I can play for Zimbabwe, where he played and coached.” Ben Curran is currently preparing for the upcoming season with the Mid-West Rhinos and is focused on performing consistently. He said- “I just have to perform and take care of what is in my control. That will give me the best chance to move forward.”
I never refused the board to let me play for the national team: Dwayne Bravo
Bravo has played 295 international matches for West Indies. Dwayne Bravo (Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images) Former West Indies cricket team all-rounder Dwayne Bravo recently made a big statement regarding selection in the national team. It is worth noting that Bravo played his last international match against Australia in 2021, his last ODI in 2014 and his last Test in 2010. So, year after year, the perception has been formed that players like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, including Dwayne Bravo, do not keep themselves available for the national team in order to focus more on franchise cricket. But on this issue, Bravo has recently given a big statement saying that he never made himself unavailable to play for the national team. If he is not selected in the national team, then obviously any player will play franchise cricket. Dwayne Bravo gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, while defending himself in a conversation with Mpumelelo Mbangwa, Dwayne Bravo said- I never declined any tour of West Indies, or made myself available for selection to play a franchise tournament. Never. The way the board has said that these people don’t want to play for West Indies, these people have no interest in West Indies cricket and these people are only concerned about playing in the leagues. But you play those leagues because you don’t get selected. So, you think if you are not selected, then okay let’s play league cricket. Bravo further said- In the year 2010, I was happy to continue my Test cricket career, but it was cut short by the board. This was not my decision or my choice. My Test career ended after playing 40 Test matches at the age of 26. I was dropped and told that two all-rounders cannot play in the team, Darren Sammy was the captain at that time. So…
