Batting coach Abhishek Nair told why there is no vice-captain in the Indian team, know the big reason
Shubman Gill was appointed as the deputy to Suryakumar and Rohit in the T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka. Abhishek Nayar (Image Credit- Twitter Indian cricket team’s new batting coach Abhishek Nayar has recently given a big statement and told why no vice-captain has been appointed in the team other than captain Rohit Sharma in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. Before Bangladesh, the Indian team went on a tour of Sri Lanka. During the T20 series and ODI series on this tour, young Shubman Gill played the role of deputy to Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma respectively. Whereas in the Test series that took place before this, Bumrah got this role. Abhishek Nayar gave a big statement However, now this is not seen in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. Also, there is a possibility that this may not be seen in the three-match T20 series starting after the Test series. But now regarding this matter, Abhishek said in a press conference held before the start of the second Test match against Bangladesh- I think we need to understand that we have a lot of IPL captains in this team. When you talk about players like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, hopefully Yashasvi Jaiswal will also step up. There are a lot of players who have captained their franchises. I would not look at them as youngsters anymore. Yes, they are youngsters in terms of age and the amount of cricket they have played. But, I think overall, mentally and in their development as a cricketer, they have the leadership qualities that are needed. So, you don’t need a vice-captain who has to be announced. On the other hand, India will now play the second Test match against Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27. India has already taken a 1-0 lead in the Test series by winning the Chennai Test match by 280 runs.
PCB postponed the National Junior Championship just a day after it started, know the big reason here
18 regional teams participate in this domestic tournament of Pakistan. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter) Just a day after the start of the National Junior Championship, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to postpone it. The participants and officials of the tournament have been informed about its postponement by PCB. On the other hand, PCB said in a short press release regarding the sudden postponement of the tournament that due to unavoidable circumstances, the tournament is being postponed with immediate effect. It is worth noting that a lot of money was spent by PCB to gather the participants of the tournament. Furthermore, a Pakistan Cricket Board confidant revealed that PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi had received several complaints that participants in the tournament had taken part with fake documentation, which could have led to problems in the selection of teams as well as the underlying issue of age fraud. This PCB confidant was quoted by News18 as saying- Junior tournaments are considered by the board as the backbone of preparing the right talent for first-class cricket and international performances. This is why despite the long selection process, Mohsin Naqvi got upset when he received several complaints, some of which were valid. PCB may suffer financial loss It is worth mentioning that 18 regional teams of the country participate in this National Junior Championship of Pakistan. And the PCB brings the players who perform well in this to First Class Cricket, from where the door to the National Team opens. However, now these 18 teams were taken to training centres where training took place and the players were provided with food, accommodation and transport facilities apart from kits and daily allowances, the total amount of which was reportedly in the millions of rupees. But this now only seems to be causing a financial loss to the PCB.

He further said, I will not be able to play for the rest of this year as I need time to rest and prepare myself. I sincerely hope that I will be able to make a comeback in early 2025 and perform well. I will work hard behind the scenes.

Pakistan-England Test series matches can be shifted to Sri Lanka or UAE, know the big reason?
England to tour Pakistan for a three-match Test series in October PAK vs ENG (Image Credit- Twitter X) Next month, the Pakistan cricket team is scheduled to host England in a 3-match home Test series. However, now some media reports are claiming that due to the construction work currently going on in Pakistan’s cricket stadium, the series may be shifted to Sri Lanka or UAE. It is worth noting that these three Test matches are included in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC), which is going to be important for England along with Pakistan. The first match of this series will be played from October 7 in Multan, the second Test match in Karachi and the third Test match in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. However, now due to the construction work going on in the stadiums of the country, due to hosting the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, this series between Pakistan and England can be transferred to another country. At the same time, there is little chance that this series can shift to UAE, because the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is going to be held in UAE between 3 and 20 October. Moreover, the arrival of England’s Barmy Army fan group is posing another problem, and hosting the matches without crowds is not a feasible option for the PCB. Now it will be interesting to see which venues the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) finalises for these matches. Also, after some time, PCB can share information about the new venues after talking to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). Pakistan was defeated by Bangladesh 2-0 It is worth noting that recently Pakistan has faced defeat in the two-match home Test series against Bangladesh. This is the first time in Bangladesh Test cricket history that they have won against Pakistan in a series.

There may be a fight between Sunil Gavaskar and Jay Shah! Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma are the reason for this
Former India great Sunil Gavaskar believes Jasprit Bumrah is justified in being rested but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should have played the Duleep Trophy. Sunil Gavaskar Jay Shah (Source X) Sunil Gavaskar believes Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should have played in the first round matches of the Duleep Trophy 2024 before the two-Test series against Bangladesh starting on September 19. The names of many players were included in the four teams announced for the first round of matches starting on September 5, but these two star batsmen have not been included. The reason given is that Kohli and Rohit were given the option to play, but the two senior experienced cricketers decided not to participate in it. Jai Shah had said- “We should not put pressure on players like Rohit and Virat to play in the Duleep Trophy. This will put them at risk of getting injured. If you have noticed, not every international player plays domestic cricket in Australia and England. We should treat the players with respect.” Sunil Gavaskar is not convinced with Jay Shah’s words However, former India great Sunil Gavaskar believes that Jasprit Bumrah is justified to be rested, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should have played. He says that Rohit and Virat are getting older. They need to play as much as possible to stay in form. There are no more ODIs this year and both of them have retired from T20, so they needed preparation in the Duleep Trophy. “The selectors have not picked captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the Duleep Trophy, so they will probably go into the Bangladesh Test series without much practice,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Mid-Day. He further added, “While it is understandable that a player like Jasprit Bumrah needs to be handled with care with his delicate back, batsmen need to bat for some time in the middle.” “Once a player reaches the age of 30-plus in any sport, regular competition will help him maintain the high standards he has set. When there is a long gap the muscle memory weakens to some extent and it is not easy to get back to the earlier high standards.”
BBL 2024-25: Rashid Khan will not play the upcoming season of Big Bash League, know the big reason here?
Rashid did not play the last BBL season due to injury Rashid Khan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Afghanistan cricket team captain and veteran spin bowler Rashid Khan will not be seen playing in the upcoming season of the Big Bash League. It is worth noting that before this he did not play the last season of BBL due to injury. So now the news is coming that he has not registered himself for the player draft for the upcoming season of the tournament. Also, if reports are to be believed, Rashid has already told this to his franchise Adelaide Strikers, which wanted to retain him before the player draft. Because of this Rashid Khan will not play BBL It is worth noting that before the start of the 2023 Big Bash League season, Rashid Khan had decided not to play in the BBL, boycotting it, as Cricket Australia had refused to play bilateral series due to the Taliban’s treatment of women in the sport in Afghanistan. However, after this Rashid Khan changed his mind and expressed his desire to play in the tournament, but later he could not play due to injury. So Australian fans were waiting for Rashid’s return in the upcoming BBL season, but now he has not registered himself for this tournament. On the other hand, after this decision of Rashid, it is believed that he is opposing Cricket Australia. However, according to news agency AAP, the officials have no problem with his views and he will be welcomed in the country whenever he wants to play. They also believe that Rashid will not play in the BBL due to his busy schedule, not because he wants to boycott it. Also, if we give you information about Rashid’s performance in BBL, he is the most successful bowler as a foreign spinner. Rashid has taken a total of 98 wickets in 69 matches played for Adelaide Strikers in the tournament.
