It is worth noting that this time this series is going to start in Australia from 22 November. Along with this, fans are curious to know whether Steve Smith will be seen opening in this series or not? So, recently the team’s head coach Andrew McDonald has made a big statement regarding Smith’s opening batting position in the Australian Test team. McDonald says that he has not yet reached any final decision, but discussions are going on around it. Andrew McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to SEN about Steve Smith’s opening slot in the Australia Test team, Andrew McDonald said – This is the question on everyone’s lips. Although we are keeping an eye on it, we have not taken any concrete decision about it. There is a lot of speculation about it. But it is in discussions, I would be lying if I said there are no talks going on. There is a lot of conversation going on about what will happen in Test cricket in terms of the coming summer. McDonald further said- Obviously, if we make a change with Steve Smith, then someone else will have to go for opening batting. We have seen Cameron Green succeed at number four. There are some layers added to taking such decisions, but at the moment nothing is confirmed and decided. On the other hand, if we talk about Smith’s performance as an opener, in the last four matches he has played, he has scored a total of 171 runs at a modest average of 28.50, which is much less than his career average (56.97). He has been handling this role in the Australian team since David Warner retired.
Duleep Trophy 2024: The poor form of Pant, Jaiswal, Iyer and Sarfaraz increased the tension of captain Rohit

The squad for that series can be announced next week after seeing the performance of the first phase of Duleep Trophy 2024. But before the start of the series, Indian star players have increased the tension of Team India including captain Rohit Sharma. Actually, before the India vs Bangladesh Test series, Indian players are participating in the Duleep Trophy. Before the series against Bangladesh, Indian players will prepare themselves for the red ball format by playing in the Duleep Trophy 2024. But in the very first round of the Duleep Trophy, the performance of many Indian players was very disappointing. From Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer, many players could not shine with the bat during this period. Duleep Trophy 2024: Team India’s star players flopped with the bat on the first day Yashasvi Jaiswal India B opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to score only 30 runs with the help of 6 fours in 59 balls in the first innings against India A. He was sent back to the pavilion by right-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. He got a good start in this match, it seemed that he would play a big innings, but he failed to do so. Sarfraz Ahmed Sarfaraz Khan, who made it to the Indian team for the Test series against England, also failed today. Sarfaraz is also a part of India B and he could score only 9 runs off 35 balls against India A. He was LBWed by Avesh Khan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he gets a place in the team for the upcoming Test series or not. Right now, before him, senior players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are ready to return to the team. Rishabh Pant Another batsman of India B, Rishabh Pant also disappointed the team and Indian fans. After the car accident, Pant has been seen playing T20 and ODIs so far, but he has not been able to return to Tests. Pant was able to score only 7 runs with the help of 1 four in 10 balls against India A. He was made his victim by Akashdeep. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma would like Pant to return to form before the Bangladesh series. Shreyas Iyer Another batsman who failed to play a big innings today is Shreyas Iyer. Right-handed middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is trying to make a comeback in the Test team, disappointed everyone. He is the captain of India D. Iyer became the victim of Vijay Kumar on a personal score of 9. It is very difficult to say whether he will be able to make a comeback in India’s Test team after this performance or not.

We have done the same thing that we do all the time: Veteran player made a big statement on Pakistan’s poor performance in the second Test
Bangladesh leads 1-0 in the two-match Test series. Ahmed Shahzad (Pic Source-X) Currently, the Pakistan team is playing the second Test match against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. In this match, the performance of the players of the Pakistan team has been very poor and Bangladesh has constantly put pressure on them. Let us tell you, Bangladesh needs 185 runs to win the second test and they have scored 122 runs after losing two wickets till the lunch break on the fifth day. They still need 63 more runs. Former player Ahmed Shahzad has given his opinion on the poor performance of the Pakistan team. According to him, this is not the first time that the players of the Pakistan team have performed very poorly. Ahmed Shahzad shared a video on his official social media account in which he said, ‘Bangladesh bowlers brought the team back. They troubled the Pakistani batsmen a lot with their bowling. Once again the host batsmen played bad shots. The batsmen’s bat was going away from their body. We see this in T20 or T10. When a player gets out like this, the coach should question him.’ Here is the video: Pakistan is in Losing Position as Bangladesh Strikes Back🔥#PAKvsBAN #ShanMasood #PakistanCricket pic.twitter.com/7VQHuCdcij — Ahmad Shahzad 🇵🇰 (@iamAhmadshahzad) September 2, 2024 Ahmed Shahzad further said, ‘You are getting out on these shots in Test cricket. You are not learning from your own mistakes. I think you do not have the art. Or you are deliberately trying to make this mistake continuously. In this way you are playing with the emotions of the people of the country.’ Ahmed Shahzad had earlier said, ‘I will hold the PCB responsible for this, not the players. Because they had to take the decision and they have not done their job well. We thought that we would easily defeat the Bangladesh team but it did not happen. We thought that when we defeat them, people’s anger will subside.’ Let us tell you, Bangladesh won the first Test played between these two teams by 10 wickets.

In the first Test too, the former Pakistan captain was dismissed by Nahid Rana. Currently, Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series. In the first Test, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das played a valuable innings of 138 runs for Bangladesh in the second Test. Apart from Liton Das, Mehdi Hasan Miraz scored 78 runs. At present, Pakistan is in a very bad condition in its second innings. Abdullah Shafiq scored only three runs in the second innings from the team while Sam Ayub returned to the pavilion after scoring 20 runs. Captain Shan Masood contributed 28 runs. If Pakistan has to level this Test series, then it is very important for them to score big in the second Test against Bangladesh. Know who is Rishabh Pant’s girlfriend Isha Negi?

“Players were too lazy” – Nasir Hussain on Sri Lanka’s poor performance in Manchester Test
Apart from this, Hussain believes that Sri Lankan players looked very sluggish on the third day of the first Test against England. He said that the visiting team will have to reconsider their performance in case of defeat. He said, “If Sri Lanka lose this Test, they will look back at the first hour on Friday and ask themselves whether they were fully prepared, because it was a complete contrast to the fight they showed over the first two days. Test cricket is like arm wrestling – you can’t drop your concentration at any level – and I felt they were quite lethargic in the morning. They were not ready for the match to start.

“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”
“I don’t remember the last time this happened”- Aakash Chopra on Virat Kohli’s poor performance
Virat Kohli LBW. (Photo Source: Sony Liv) India’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored 24, 14 and 20 runs respectively in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and interestingly, he got out against spinners in all the matches. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said, Kohli, who is known to be a very good player of spin, misread the line and length against them. Virat Kohli was out LBW in all the matches of the ODI series against Sri Lanka and every time a review was taken on the ball of his dismissal. ODI series In the first match, Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed him, while Jeffrey Vandersay and Dunith Welalage took his wickets in the second and third matches respectively. Kohli’s struggle against spin is not new. In the last few years, he has struggled a lot against wrist spinners and this trend continued in the Sri Lanka series as well. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Virat Kohli was LBW three times in three innings against spinners. I don’t remember when this happened last time, he was playing the wrong line and also used the review every time. He was not able to put pressure on the bowlers with his batting in the series.” The cricketer-turned-commentator also spoke about Shreyas Iyer, who has also struggled in the series. Iyer made his debut after being dropped from BCCI’s central contract but failed to make a mark in the three-match series. He had a great chance to perform well and cement his place in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, but Iyer scored only 38 runs in the series. Speaking about this, Chopra said that he is not sure why good spin players are struggling. He said, “Shreyas Iyer is considered a good player of spin, but he too was unable to counter the spinners twice and got out due to speed once. If the performance of our good spin players is like this, then I don’t know why this is happening.”
SL vs IND: “He is becoming too oversmart….”- Fans are shocked to see Rishabh Pant’s poor wicketkeeping
Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant showed poor wicketkeeping during Sri Lanka’s innings. Due to Rishabh’s mistake, India could not get the wicket of Mahish Theekshana. Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: The Indian team is on the verge of losing the third ODI match and the series against Sri Lanka. In the run chase, the team’s batting order has once again collapsed like a pack of cards. Chasing a target of 249 runs, India has lost 8 wickets at a score of 101 runs. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping remains a topic of discussion on social media. Rishabh Pant showed poor wicketkeeping during Sri Lanka’s innings. Due to Rishabh’s mistake, India could not get the wicket of Mahish Teekshana. Rishabh Pant took more time to drop the bails The 49th over of Sri Lanka’s innings was bowled by Kuldeep Yadav. On the last ball of the over, Mahish Theekshana tried to play a shot by moving ahead of the crease, but he missed the ball. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant had a chance to stump Theekshana out because he had moved too far ahead of the crease. But Pant took too much time to drop the bails. The onfield umpire took the help of the third umpire. Mahish Teekshana thought he was out, and he was walking back to the pavilion even before the third umpire’s decision. Replays showed that Mahish Teekshana had returned to the crease before the stumping took place, so the third umpire declared Teekshana not out. See here the fans’ reactions on Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping- What the hell!!!! Theekshana was on half pitch and Rishabh Pant couldn’t get him stump out, man this guy is very very slow and is not even 10% of KL Rahul in wicket keeping….
