Speaking on ESPNcricinfo’s Around the Wicket, Michael Clarke said, ‘He had a very good performance in the Indian Premier League. I am not worried that Kohli has scored three low scores so far.

This is the most important stage of the tournament where the best players are always seen performing well.’ Michael Clarke made a big statement about the Indian team’s playing XI Michael Clarke further said, ‘If they feel that this is their best playing 11, then they should not make any changes in it. The pitch on which the team was playing till now was very difficult for the opening batsmen. I don’t think three low scores will make any difference to Virat.

ECB took this big step for structural change in women’s cricket, also made this request to the county teams
This move by ECB will bring a taste of local flavor to the lost club cricket. England and Wales Cricket Board (Image Source: ECB) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has taken a big step towards structural change in women’s cricket in the country. The ECB has said that county teams need to show their will, so that women’s club cricket can be revived once again in the country. So in this regard, the governing body has invited tenders from county teams for 8 tier 1 professional women’s cricket clubs. So this step is being considered as the biggest change in the fields of women’s cricket in England in the last 5 years. The new structure will replace the current structure which has been in place since 2020. Under the previous arrangement, all county teams played cricket in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, which was under the direct control of the ECB. More than one team used to participate in these tournaments. On the other hand, the reason behind the change in the current structure by the ECB is to solve the problem which has affected the regional teams for some time. The ECB is working on bringing together all county and club women’s teams before the start of 2025. This step of the board, apart from helping the teams to create their own identity, will also increase regional participation in the game, which is currently lacking. This will make it easier for the board to market women’s cricket, and the responsibility, ownership and operation of club teams will be handed over to the club. Regarding this step of the board, Beth Barrett-Wild, Director of Professional Women’s Sports at ECB, quoted ESPN Cricinfo as saying – The regional model was launched in the year 2020, in which it was said that women’s cricket should be professionalized as soon as possible. Was. I think a fantastic job has been done on it. But we have 88 professional women cricketers in 8 club teams, who are ready to play 102 matches in the coming year.
