Devon Conway (Photo Source: Getty Images) The New Zealand Cricket Board suffered a major setback when star batsman Kane Williamson turned down the central contract. Now when New Zealand is looking for players for its team, openers Devon Conway and Finn Allen have taken a big decision regarding their central contracts. While Devon Conway has opted for a contingent contract, Finn Allen has turned down a central contract to focus more on franchise cricket opportunities. What did Devon Conway say about his contract Conway, 33, who has been selected for the Tests against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, has committed to all international matches for the next 12 months, except the white-ball series against Sri Lanka in January. Actually, Conway wants to play in SA20, the third edition of which is starting from January 9. He also said that his family is the main reason behind choosing a casual contract. He said on this- “First of all I would like to thank New Zealand Cricket for their cooperation in this process. The decision to walk away from the central contract has been a well-thought out one. I believe this is the best decision for me and my family at this time.” “I am excited to be part of the upcoming Test squad for the crucial phase of the ICC World Test Championship cycle and, if selected, also look forward to featuring in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February next year.” Let us tell you that Trent Boult, Martin Guptill had walked away from the national contract in 2022 itself in search of franchise cricket opportunities, while Kane Williamson has taken this decision this year. What statement came from New Zealand Cricket “We are delighted with Devon’s decision to commit to the Blackcaps – he is a quality player who has made strong contributions to the squad over the last few years. It is important to have flexibility in our system to deal with some of the challenges presented by franchise cricket in the current environment – and this is another example of how we are working hard to retain our best players.”

Some big players of Team India will play Duleep Trophy According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, the reason behind the move was to track a wider pool of players. Ahead of the Test season, the governing body is set to monitor several cricketers, especially those who haven’t played much red-ball cricket. The main focus will be on the likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel and Mayank Yadav, while KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer could also be tested. Ishan Kishan is also expected to be included. The BCCI selectors will meet at the end of the month to finalise the squads and pick the captains of each team. Four teams will participate in the tournament, which will run till September 22.

Pakistani captain Shan Masood got angry on the question of match fixing, said- “No one can say anything about the honesty of the players…”
The World Cup is over now and we need to look ahead. I can guarantee that all our players want to win matches for Pakistan – Shan Masood Shan Masood (Photo Source: X/Twitter) As part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle, the Pakistan cricket team is going to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh from August 21. Shan Masood will be seen leading the team, while Saud Shakeel has been appointed as the vice-captain. Before the upcoming series against Bangladesh, Shan Masood has made a big statement about the team, he has rejected all the claims of match fixing within the team. Let us tell you, after Pakistan’s poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, a senior journalist had accused Babar Azam of match fixing. All our players want to win matches for Pakistan- Shan Masood At the pre-series press conference before the start of the Test series against Bangladesh, a reporter asked Shan Masood, what message would he give to his team members after Arshad Nadeem’s historic gold medal at the Olympics? The reporter also said that making the country proud can reward the players more than earning from match fixing and any wrong things. Responding to this, Shan Masood said that he cannot question the intentions of anyone in the team because everyone wants to win matches for Pakistan. I cannot question anyone’s intentions just because you used the word match-fixing. I don’t think anyone can question their integrity in the current system of Pakistan cricket. This is something I don’t agree with at all. The World Cup is over now and we need to look ahead. I can guarantee that all our players want to win matches for Pakistan but wins and losses keep happening and whenever we lose, we feel the most pain. Pakistan squad for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh- Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal (subject to fitness), Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper) and Shaheen Shah Afridi

Talking about finger spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin and Nathan Lyon are my favourite players: Rangana Herath
Rangana Herath has taken over 1000 first-class wickets, while he has 500 international wickets and 400 Test wickets to his name. Rangana Herath of Sri Lanka. (Photo by Dave Thompson/Getty Images) Rangana Herath is considered one of the best spinners not only in Sri Lanka but in the world. His performance has always been very good in international cricket. Let us tell you, Rangana Herath has taken more than 1000 wickets in first class while he has 500 international wickets and 400 test wickets to his name. Recently a white ball series was played between Sri Lanka and India. While India won the T20 series 3-0, Sri Lanka won the ODI series 2-0. After the end of this white ball series, Rangana Herath named those spinners of today’s era who have impressed him a lot. Rangana Herath played an important role in Sri Lanka’s victory in the 2014 T20 World Cup. He took five wickets for Sri Lanka in a low-scoring match against New Zealand and helped his team qualify for the playoffs. According to Cricblog, Rangana Herath said, ‘If you talk about finger spinners, I would like to name Ravichandran Ashwin and Nathan Lyon. Another spinner is South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj. I also like watching Kuldeep Yadav bowling. Talking about Sri Lanka, Prabhat Jayasuriya has bowled very well so far. There are many other names but they are not coming to my mind at the moment. Sri Lanka’s spinners bowled very well in the ODI series against India Let us tell you, in the recently concluded ODI series against India, Sri Lankan spinners bowled brilliantly and took 27 wickets. Sri Lankan spinners left their mark against the Indian batsmen and won the hearts of many fans. In this series, Indian spinners took a total of 16 wickets. While Washington Sundar took 5 wickets in the three-match ODI series, Kuldeep Yadav took four wickets. Many former players of the Sri Lankan team praised the team a lot. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

IND vs SL: Is this player’s last ODI for Team India? Champions Trophy dream shattered
Shivam Dubey’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dubey has played 4 ODI matches for India so far. In this, he has scored 43 runs and taken one wicket at a poor average of 10.75. Shivam Dubey (Source X) On 8 August, despite having star players, the strong Indian team had to face a humiliating defeat of 0-2 in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. With this, India has lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka after 27 years. Team India included young players as well as veteran players. But, they could not perform well in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Amidst all this, the question has arisen whether any player of Team India has played the last ODI match of his career. Shivam Dube is coming under the scanner of this question. Did Shivam Dubey play his last ODI for India? The Indian player was given a chance to play continuously in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, this player has broken the trust of Team India coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma with his flop performance. Now there are rumors that this was Shivam Dubey’s last ODI match for India. It is almost impossible for Dubey to get a chance in India’s ODI team in the future. How was Shivam Dubey’s performance on the Sri Lanka tour? All-rounder Shivam Dubey has performed poorly in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Shivam Dubey could not get success in both bowling and batting. Shivam Dubey missed the chance to become the hero of the team by scoring 25, 0 and 9 runs in the three matches of the ODI series. Shivam Dubey could not perform as claimed in bowling as well. On the basis of all these statistics, it is doubtful that Shivam Dubey will get a chance in the ODI team. It will be difficult if Hardik Pandya comes Hardik Pandya did not play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Due to this, Shivam Dubey was given a chance as an all-rounder in the ODI team. But Shivam Dubey performed poorly and could not maintain the trust of the coach and captain. In such a situation, if Hardik returns to Team India’s ODI team, Shivam Dubey will lose his place. It is very difficult for Shivam Dubey to remain in the ODI team along with Hardik. Shivam Dubey may miss the golden opportunity of Champions Trophy The Champions Trophy tournament will be held in February-March 2025 next year. Team India will play the next ODI match in this tournament. Hardik Pandya will play as an all-rounder for Team India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and Ravindra Jadeja will get a chance in the top order. In such a situation, players like Shivam Dubey, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant may miss out due to their poor performance. Especially Shivam Dube’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dube has played 4 ODI matches for India so…
