England is selecting players who… Michael Vaughan points out a big mistake before Ashes 2025
The former England captain said that the selectors should have chosen Jack Leach instead of Shoaib Bashir. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan is surprised by the selection of England’s team for the Test series against West Indies. It is worth noting that England has started its home summer with a three-match series against West Indies. The series between the two teams has started on Wednesday, July 10 at Lord’s, London. Before the game, the Ben Stokes-led side had announced their playing XI, which includes debutant Jamie Smith and young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Commenting on his team’s playing XI, Vaughan said that the selectors are not paying attention to county cricket. Along with this, he also told that they are not selecting first choice players from the county. Michael Vaughan said on the Vaughan and Tuffers podcast- “They’re not looking at county cricket. They’re just looking at the players. Bashir is not the first-choice spinner at Somerset, Jack Leach is. Ben Foakes is the first-choice wicketkeeper at Surrey, not Jamie Smith. England are picking players who are not first-choice at their county. I don’t think they’re looking at county cricket as a tool to say ‘you’re an international cricketer.’” Speaking further, the former England captain said that the selectors should have picked Jack Leach over Shoaib Bashir and called him England’s number one spinner. Vaughan also said that Leach is the best choice to trouble Australia in Ashes 2025. “The selection of Bashir over Jack Leach is interesting. I would have picked Jack Leach. Bashir is a fantastic talent and no doubt he would be the second spinner in a two-man spin attack. But Jack Leach has earned the right to be England’s No. 1. Left-arm spin is a pretty good option in Australia.”

IPL 2024 Playoff scenarios: Despite better run rate, why will SRH remain below RR in the points table?
RR, RCB, SRH and KKR have qualified for the playoffs. Sunrisers Hyderabad (Pic Source-X) IPL 2024 Playoff scenarios: The last two matches of the league stage in IPL 2024 will be held on Sunday, May 19. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the day’s match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, while Rajasthan Royals (RR) face Kolkata Knight Riders in the second match of the double header at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Riders (KKR). Interestingly, while PBKS has been eliminated from the tournament, RR, SRH and KKR have all qualified for the playoffs. Along with this, it is expected that Kolkata Knight Riders can remain the table topper. Accordingly, now the discussion is on which team, Hyderabad or Rajasthan, will be in second place based on Sunday’s result. It is generally believed that the net run rate decides who tops the IPL points table. However, an interesting scenario is one in which SRH (+0.406) could finish below RR (+0.273) in the points table despite having a better net run rate, if both the teams are tied on points. IPL 2024 Playoff scenarios: Why SRH will remain below RR despite better run rate If the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings match at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium today is washed out due to rain, both sides will get one point each. Thus SRH will finish the league stage with 16 points. At the same time, if Rajasthan Royals loses to Kolkata Knight Riders in the last league match of IPL 2024 in Guwahati, then they will have only 16 points. Hyderabad’s run rate is better than Rajasthan, but if it happens then Rajasthan will be second in the points table. This is because the number of wins in the league stage is considered the first criteria to decide the ranking of teams in the IPL. Here also if both the teams are on par, then the net run rate comes into play. As per the rule, RR will finish the league stage with eight wins and SRH with seven wins and hence will finish second in the IPL 2024 points table in the given scenario.
