Actually, a report is coming out in which it is being said that due to differences with the players and the Pakistan Cricket Board, the head coach of the limited overs team, Gary Kirsten may resign from his post. It is expected that Kirsten will not go on Australia and Zimbabwe tour with Pakistan team. Let us tell you, on both these tours to Pakistan, the team has to play three-match ODI as well as T20 series of the same number of matches. Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the squad for the tour of Australia and Zimbabwe on Sunday, October 27 with the new captain Mohammad Rizwan. Just a day after this announcement, the news related to Gary Kirsten’s resignation has surprised everyone. Gary Kirsten has serious differences with players and PCB According to a Cricbuzz report, there are serious differences of opinion between Gary Kirsten and the players, as well as with the PCB over coaching staff decisions. Kirsten reportedly requested the appointment of David Reid as high performance coach, which was not in line with the PCB’s priorities, which led to tension. The board reportedly made alternative proposals, which Kirsten did not like. Gary Kirsten’s tenure with the Pakistan cricket team started in May this year. Even after his arrival, there has been no good improvement in the performance of Pakistan cricket team. The team lost the bilateral series in England, while the team also got eliminated in the group stage in the T20 World Cup held in West Indies and America. Pakistan also had to face defeat from associate team America during this period. There are less than four months left for the ICC Champions Trophy and Pakistan is going to host an international tournament for the first time in more than two decades, so Gary Kirsten’s resignation is a big blow to the Pakistan team and the PCB. Will have to find a head coach for them soon.

The team’s first match was against UP, which ended in a draw but the team managed to earn 3 points, the credit for which goes to the bowlers. Meanwhile, the Bengal team seems to be in trouble before the upcoming match against Bihar. Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha is finding it difficult to play in the second match as he is suffering from back spasms. A source from Bengal Cricket Association gave information A Bengal Cricket Association source told The Telegraph on Wednesday, October 16, Wriddhiman Saha has a little cramp in his back. He did not come on the field even on the last day of the match against UP. If he is not fit for the match, Evelyn Ghosh or Shubham Dey will replace him. If Wriddhiman Saha is not able to recover completely, then Evelyn Ghosh can be seen replacing him in the playing 11 and can also make his debut for Bengal. Hrithik Chatterjee may also be out Spinner Hrithik Chatterjee could not perform anything special in the first match against Uttar Pradesh. He gave 105 runs in 25 overs and did not take any wicket. However, one or two catches were also missed in his bowling. Pradipta Pramanik or Aamir Ghani may get a chance in place of Chatterjee in the match against Bihar. Shadow of rain in Bengal vs Bihar match There is a forecast of rain in the first few days of the match between Bengal and Bihar in Kalyani. Bengal will aim to get full points from this match, as Bihar is not the strongest team in Elite Group-C, at least on paper. At the same time, Bihar had to face defeat against Haryana by one innings and 43 runs in the last match.

Money will not solve West Indies cricket’s problems: Brian Lara is very disappointed with his team’s performance
According to Brian Lara, it is very important for the players to perform even better to win the match. Brian Lara. (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Brian Lara believes that just investing more money in the West Indies cricket system will not be enough to improve their on-field performance. According to Brian Lara, it is very important for the players to perform even better to win the match. The former player is not at all happy with the performance of his team in the currently being played England vs West Indies match. West Indies were all out for 121 runs on the first day of the first Test being played at Lord’s against England. Not only this, England scored 371 runs after losing all the wickets in their first innings. By the end of the second day’s play, West Indies have lost 6 wickets for 79 runs in their second innings. The team is still 171 runs behind England. Speaking on the BBC World Service Stumped Podcast, Brian Lara has blamed the West Indies Cricket Board. Brian Lara said, ‘If you put 100 million or 200 million dollars in the bank account of West Indies, will it change their way of playing? I don’t think so. We are not using the talent we have properly. West Indies cricket has not taken any significant steps to attract sponsors. Not only this, they have not done any work on the important things that people need. All this is very important.’ Brian Lara made a special appeal to West Indies cricket The former West Indies player further said, ‘We don’t have anyone coming from the gate side. I reached Lord’s on Wednesday at 7:30 am and people were waiting outside. I saw this when I was a kid and people used to wait for the gate to open at 5:30 am in Queen’s Park in Trinidad. Now this is not happening. Even if you reach there at 11:00 am, the stadium will still be empty.’ Talking about the first test, this is the last match of James Anderson’s cricketing career. England has so far put pressure on West Indies in this match and the hosts would definitely want to win it. England now has to take just four more wickets to win the first test.

Before the match of KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1, know the 2 big problems of Kolkata Knight Riders in today’s match.
KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1: Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, full of explosive batsmen, will face each other in ‘Qualifier-1’ of Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket today, Tuesday. KKR vs SRH (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) KKR vs SRH Qualifier 1: Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, full of explosive batsmen, will face each other in ‘Qualifier-1’ of Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket today, Tuesday. The winner of this match to be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will get direct entry into the final round. In such a situation, both the teams will aim for a strong performance. However, before this match, KKR’s team has suffered a major setback in the form of Phil Salt. He has returned to England for the upcoming T20 series against Pakistan. In such a situation, proven cricketer Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, has expressed concern about KKR’s problems. Let’s know the 3 players whose names have been taken by Aakash Chopra and why KKR may find it difficult to win the match because of them. 1. Phil Salt Phil Salt (Pic Source-X) Aakash Chopra said- “Definitely this could be a big problem for KKR. This season, Phil Salt had a huge contribution in the success of this team. The starts he used to make with Sunil Narine would suddenly put the opposition team on the back foot and they would find it very difficult to make a comeback. However, Phil Salt is no longer in the team, that is a big problem.” 2. Rahmanullah Gurbaz Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Pic Source-Twitter) While talking about the replacement of Phil Salt, Aakash Chopra said- “Rehmanullah Gurbaz is in place of Salt. What works in Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s favor is that he was once a part of Gujarat Titans. So he has played on this ground and on these pitches before, although he has not done so. When he was with Gujarat he got a lot of opportunities.” Aakash Chopra believes that Gurbaz can play big innings for the team. 3. Shreyas Iyer Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- IPL/X) Aakash Chopra has described Shreyas Iyer as the second problem of the team. They said- “The other problem is that Shreyas Iyer has not scored that many runs this year. He has played a bit of an anchor-type role while all the players around him come in like rocket launchers. He even said that this time he has the role of an anchor. So he has been anchoring but the season has not been what you expect.”
No place in the World Cup team, out of the central contract… 5 big problems in Shreyas Iyer’s career in these 2 years
Shreyas Iyer’s last few years have been full of ups and downs- Shreyas Iyer (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The 51st match of IPL 2024 will be played today on May 3 between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. Before this IPL match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) assistant coach Abhishek Nair has said something special about Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas Iyer’s last few years have been very ups and downs. * Shreyas Iyer was out of the IPL last year due to a back injury. * He then made a comeback in Asia Cup 2023 but due to back problem, he was able to play very limited games. * Iyer fought against the pain and scored 530 runs at an average of 66.25 and strike rate of 113.25 in 11 matches in the ODI World Cup 2023. * But in the year 2024, he was dropped from the Test team after playing 2 Test matches against England. Shreyas Iyer scored 31, 6, 0 and 4 runs in the 2 test matches played against England. * The biggest shock he got was when BCCI advised him to play Ranji Trophy and he showed arbitrariness. As a result, he was dropped from the central contract. * After that another bad thing came for him that he was not selected in the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Despite such a bad time, Iyer has been able to maintain a positive mindset and is focusing on performing well to bounce back. Talking about this phase of Shreyas, coach Abhishek Nair said- “He is one of those people who is mentally very strong. He doesn’t have the habit of complaining about anything. Some things are not under his control but fitness is something which is within Iyer’s control. Our medical staff has worked very hard on Iyer. Despite being rejected from the team, Iyer’s thinking is very positive and his focus is on making a comeback.
Harbhajan Singh warned on Mohammed Siraj’s poor form, “Mentally tired…will cause big problems”
In IPL 2024, Siraj (Mohammed Siraj) has taken only 4 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 57.25. Mohammad Siraj (Photo Source: Twitter) Harbhajan Singh recently requested RCB to rest Mohammed Siraj for a few matches after the defeat against Mumbai Indians on April 11. It seems as if Siraj’s IPL 2024 campaign has not started properly yet as his form is going very bad. RCB has played 6 matches, in which they have faced defeat in 5 matches, but that is not visible in Siraj’s bowling. Siraj’s poor form continued against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. This fast bowler of RCB gave 37 runs in his 3 overs and could not take any wicket, as a result Mumbai Indians easily won the match. In IPL 2024, Siraj (Mohammed Siraj) has taken only 4 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 57.25. This is in stark contrast to his IPL 2023 performance, where he took 19 wickets at an average of 19.79. Harbhajan Singh’s big statement regarding Siraj Speaking to Star Sports, Harbhajan advised the RCB management to give Siraj some time to get into form as he has not been able to perform as expected from him this season. “If I were part of the management, I would have rested Siraj for a few matches. Give them a break and time to think about what is going wrong with them. He is the same Siraj whom we have seen taking wickets with the new ball in Test, ODI and T20 cricket. “Siraj has been a champion bowler for Team India and RCB as well. I think he is very tired mentally and physically. They need rest. He is playing too much cricket. He played 4 Test matches against England, he bowled a lot of overs.” RCB’s next match will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad next Monday. It remains to be seen whether RCB management will listen to him or not.
