The off-spinner is yet to play for the Mumbai senior team, though he has played for Mumbai Under-16 and Under-23. He was part of the BCCI’s ‘Emerging Players Camp’ in Anantapur and Bengaluru a few years ago. “Ajit Agarkar (India’s chief selector) and his co-selectors have been impressed with Himanshu for some time now and have been monitoring his progress. He is tall (six feet four inches) and has an action similar to Ashwin,” the source said. Can Himanshu Singh become the future star cricketer? Although not yet included in the Mumbai senior team, Himanshu Singh’s inclusion in the Indian camp is a testament to his hard work and growing reputation. The camp is a crucial preparation phase ahead of a Test series, so it gives Himanshu a golden opportunity to impress and learn from some of the best players in the country. It is being said that he can replace Team India’s senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the future. Now it remains to be seen how much he is able to prove himself in this camp and how much he can impress the selectors.

In this post, Ashwin said – This only Test will be fun to watch. We know that Afghanistan produces amazing talent, but the solidity and stability they need will be their batting department. They have class in the form of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, but there is no one else to follow. That’s why I’m excited to see what youngsters Riaz Hassan and Bahir Shah have to offer. They are both promising and have averages over 55 in first class. Signs of a strong future for India were seen in the 2000s when Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif came up from the Under 19s to the team. That’s why these 2 players could give Afghanistan a peak at what it can achieve over the next decade. See this post of Ashwin This one off Test will be fun to watch. We know Afghanistan produce insane talent but the one area of solidity and stability they need is from their batting department. They have Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat shah oozing class but not much else to follow, and that is why I am… pic.twitter.com/e6REqHdMsI — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 7, 2024 Afghanistan squad for the one-off Test against New Zealand Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hasan, Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Baheer Shah Mehboob, Ikram Ali Khil (wicketkeeper), Shahidullah Kamal, Afsar Zazai (wicketkeeper), Azmatullah Omarzai, Zia ur Rehman Akbar, Shams ur Rehman, Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Nijat Masood, Khalil Ahmed.
DRS will help players learn a lot about batting techniques in domestic cricket: Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin believes that due to DRS, domestic players will also know about this technology very well and their batting technique will also improve. Ravi Ashwin (Pic Source-X) Veteran Indian player Ravichandran Ashwin has recently made a big statement about the Decision Review System (DRS) in domestic cricket. He made this statement during the India C vs India D match currently being played in the Duleep Trophy 2024. Let us tell you, during this match, Ricky Bhui was given a controversial out on the ball of Manav Suthar. Manav Suthar took 7 wickets in the second innings of this match. Ravichandran Ashwin believes that due to DRS, domestic players will also get to know this technology very well and their batting technique will also improve. Not only this, due to DRS in domestic cricket, decisions will also be taken correctly. He presented his point of view by giving the example of Ricky Bhui’s dismissal. Ravichandran Ashwin wrote on his official X account that, ‘DRS in domestic cricket will not only lead to correct decisions. Ricky Bhui’s wicket against Manav Suthar is the best example of this. This technology will be completely correct in first class cricket.’ Here is Ravichandran Ashwin’s tweet: DRS for domestic cricket is not just for the right decisions to be made. Ricky Bhuvi’s dismissal last evening against Manav Suthar is a classic case of a batter who will get away with this technique 10/10 times in FC cricket. This was not a faulty technique pre DRS but now it… pic.twitter.com/Ip2BXHgJBe — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 7, 2024 Ravichandran Ashwin further wrote that, ‘In earlier times, batsmen were not given out because they used their front leg very well. However, keeping the bat behind the pad can sometimes prove to be dangerous. Players rarely make this mistake in international cricket. Ricky also made this mistake because he did not have much experience. DRS will help the batsmen a lot and it can prove to be useful for the bowlers as well. So far the performance of all the teams in Duleep Trophy 2024 has been very good. There are many players who have won the hearts of all the fans by performing brilliantly in this tournament.

Ashwin is keeping an eye on the second test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, know whom he is supporting?
R Ashwin said on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) regarding the second Test match, “Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test match and the entire series is going great.” Ravi Ashwin (Pic Source-X) The second match of the Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh has reached a very exciting stage. This match is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where the first Test match of the series was also held. Bangladesh created history by defeating Pakistan by 10 wickets in the first Test. This was Bangladesh’s first win against Pakistan in Test cricket. Now, the second Test has also come to an exciting turn, and India’s star spinner R Ashwin has his eyes on this series. After Bangladesh, the Indian team has to play a two-match Test series as hosts. The Bangladeshi batsmen have performed brilliantly in this series so far, and it seems that Ashwin has started doing his homework against the Bangladeshi batsmen. Let us tell you that, a Test series is to be played between Team India and Bangladesh in a few weeks, and Ashwin can be a part of this match. PAK vs BAN 2nd Test Status Pakistan scored 274 runs in the first innings of the second Test. In response, Bangladesh lost six wickets for 26 runs at one point, making it look like Pakistan would easily avenge the defeat of the first Test. But a brilliant partnership between Liton Das and Mehdi Hasan Miraz helped Bangladesh bounce back. Bangladesh scored 262 runs in the first innings, reducing the lead between the two teams to just 12 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin’s reaction R Ashwin said on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) about the second Test match, “Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test match and the whole series is going great. Bangladesh is in the lead right now, but Pakistan can also turn this match in their favor.” If Bangladesh wins this match, it will be their first clean sweep against Pakistan. What a test match and series this is turning out to be #PAKvsBAN Bangladesh on top now but Pakistan can get this to a finish in their favor👏👏 — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 2, 2024
“It is very important for strategy….”, Ravichandran Ashwin came out in support of the impact player rule
Impact player rule is not that bad- Ravichandran Ashwin R Ashwin (Photo Source: Getty Images) The impact player rule is making a lot of headlines in the entire cricket world. During IPL 2024, many senior players expressed their displeasure over this rule. Indian captain Rohit Sharma says that he is not a big fan of this rule and due to this the emergence of potential all-rounders in the country has been stopped. On the other hand, Virat Kohli believes that the rule introduced by IPL does not give the right balance to the game. However, Ravichandran Ashwin has described the impact player rule as important for the team’s strategy. The veteran says that batsmen cannot change bowlers overnight and this makes the game fair. Impact player rule is not that bad- Ashwin Ravichandran Ashwin while speaking on K. Srikkanth’s YouTube show said, Why I think the impact player rule is not so bad is because it is a bit necessary for strategy. The other side of that argument is that it does not encourage all-rounders. But nobody is stopping them. In this generation, they don’t do it (batsmen bowl or bowlers bat). It’s not that they are discouraged because of the impact player rule. Look at Venkatesh Iyer, he is currently doing brilliantly for Lancashire. So this rule makes the game more fair. Citing the example of IPL 2024 Qualifier-2, Ashwin said, “Sunrisers Hyderabad brought Shahbaz Ahmed as an impact player. He proved to be a match winner by taking three wickets.” Ashwin emphasized that a rule like impact player gives another bowling option and balance to the game and at the same time the match becomes closer. The veteran Indian spinner also believes that players like Shivam Gube, Shahbaz Ahmed and Dhruv Jurel have emerged because of the impact player rule. It is because of this rule that new players are getting opportunities.
Top 10 Worst Fielders in Cricket: See the list of 10 worst fielders in the world – 3 Indian players are also included
All of them gave their best performance in batting and bowling for their country but performed very poorly in fielding. Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Top 10 Worst Fielders in Cricket: In the history of cricket, many great players have reached the pinnacle of greatness by scoring runs and wickets. However, there are some cricketers who have made shameful records in their name due to laziness and poor fielding. All of them have performed their best in batting and bowling for their country but have performed very poorly in fielding. In this article, we will tell the names of those 10 cricketers of the world who are very bad fielders- 10. Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly. (Photo by Soumitra Ghosh/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) Former Indian captain and one of the opening batsmen Sourav Ganguly may have won matches for the team with the bat, but when it came to fielding, he was a liability on the team. Ganguly was a bad catcher and his dive was very awkward. 9. Lasith Malinga Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga. (Photo by Saeed KHAN / AFP) Former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga, famously known as the Yorker King, is at the top in bowling. But when it comes to fielding, he is in the list of very bad fielders. Malinga used to make mistakes in judging the direction of the ball. If he was not a good bowler, he would probably not have got any place in the team. 8. Shoaib Akhtar Shoaib Akhtar (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) One of the fastest bowlers in the world, Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar used to scare the best batsmen with his fast bowling. However, he used to be a lazy player when it came to running behind the ball to stop a boundary. 7. Javagal Srinath Javagal Srinath. (Photo by Ross Setford/Getty Images) Javagal Srinath was one of the best fast bowlers in the world for more than a decade. He was also one of India’s greatest bowlers, but there is no doubt that he was a poor fielder. Batsmen would often take two runs when the ball came to him. 6. Morne Morkel Morne Morkel of South Africa. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) South African players are usually known for their excellent fielding, however, fast bowler Morne Morkel was different. Morne, who has been one of the best fast bowlers in the world, was a liability for the team as a fielder. Due to his tall stature, he was neither able to save runs quickly nor take good catches. He often made easy catches difficult, which is a characteristic of a poor fielder. 5. Glenn McGrath Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath is one of the greatest players in the world. But his fielding was a big problem for the Australian team. He was the worst fielder from the Australian team of his time. 4. Arjuna Ranatunga Arjuna Ranatunga. (© Getty Images) Former Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga is one of the…
