The first match of the Test series will be played in Perth from 22 November. Ajit Agarkar & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: A big update related to Border-Gavaskar Trophy is coming out. Indian cricket team’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Australia and has been asked to stay there for the entire tour. Recently, after the crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, Team India is being made fun of in the entire cricket world. It has only been a few days since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach and ever since he took charge of the team, the performance of the team has not been that good. In such a situation, in the coming time, India may get to see some new players in every format. The team management has also started preparations for this. Ajit Agarkar will be in Australia during BGT According to the report of Times of India, the selectors and coaches want to know from the senior players about their future plans regarding their career. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are all aged 35 or older. Of these, Ashwin has been playing Test cricket continuously for many years. Now these players will have to tell how they are seeing their career going forward. The BCCI source said, “Both Agarkar and Gambhir know that such a poor performance in India will lead to widespread criticism, which is justified. Since it is a long tour, both can sit together and discuss how things can be taken forward after the tour. It will take at least one and a half years for both of them to build a strong backup team. This is where both have to be on the same page about the process.” India has to play some matches of the World Test Championship and big tournaments like Champions Trophy in the coming days. India will not have much time for this and in this they will try their best to retain their core team. However, after this they are planning to make big changes in the team which especially includes the T20 format.

Let us tell you that the five-time champion team has Rs 55 crore in its purse and with this it will enter the mega auction. CSK has spent Rs 65 crore for five retentions. CricTracker asked AI to prepare CSK’s team for the IPL 2025 edition. The results that came after this have become a topic of discussion among the fans. The team selected by AI has Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey as batsmen. The list of all-rounders is a little longer. It has Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Rajvardhan Henggekar and Bhagat Verma. Wicketkeepers MS Dhoni and N Jagadeesan, while the name of Prashant Solanki is in the list of spinners. Pacers have Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mathisha Pathirana, Kagiso Rabada, Simarjeet Singh. Two strong all-rounders Shardul Thakur and Rachin Ravindra are out of this AI team.

We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow are important to continue with the team. He said, it was very easy to decide to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money left going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them in the auction.

BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”

During a conversation with Star Sports, Smriti Mandhana also said that it is going to be very difficult to play in the heat of Dubai. Smriti Mandhana said, ‘It has not been easy. We have come from India but initially it was very difficult for us to bear this heat. I pray that by the time we play our first match, we will understand this situation very well. Preparations are going well. Before coming to Dubai, we had a great camp in Bengaluru and we worked on all the important aspects. Now we are eagerly waiting for the coming challenge. It will be very difficult for us to play during the day because it is going to be very hot here. But we are playing for Team India and no excuse will suffice.

“Everyone wants to be like Hardik but they can’t do it” – Mohit Sharma’s strong statement on Hardik Pandya
Mohit Sharma told that Hardik Pandya used to give his best on the field despite his back problem. Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) Veteran Indian pacer Mohit Sharma recently spoke about his experience of playing under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy with Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League. He suggested that the all-rounder is extremely expressive, a trait that many aspire to possess but fail to master. Sharma said that if someone wants to be humble, it does not mean that every person would want the same. He said that Hardik is often misunderstood because it is not easy to accept a strong personality. Speaking on the YouTube channel 2Sloggers, Sharma said: “The concept of being misunderstood is different for every person. If I choose to be humble, it doesn’t mean everyone would want to be humble. There are some people who express too much. In our community, we find it hard to accept when someone comes across like that.” “Let me give you a perfect example – if you live in a high-rise building and see someone enjoying the rain, we also feel like doing the same, but our hesitation stops us from doing so. So, everyone wants to be like Hardik, but they can’t be like him, which results in these things happening.” Hardik Pandya captained Gujarat before rejoining his former franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of IPL 2024 and he led GT to the title in its debut edition in 2022 and finished runners-up the following season. “He is a lovely guy and very easy going” Mohit Sharma about Hardik Pandya Speaking in the video, Mohit Sharma said that Hardik Pandya is a very easy-going person. He said that the best quality of the 30-year-old Pandya as a captain is to infuse positive energy in the team and motivate everyone. He also told that Hardik Pandya used to give his best on the field despite his back problem. “As a person, Hardik is a very nice guy. He is a lovely person and very easy-going. He makes the atmosphere very entertaining. No matter what the world thinks. As a leader, there is always scope for improvement. The biggest quality of Hardik is that he motivates his players because he himself likes to be motivated.” “When he does that, it is inspiring for the people around him. He somehow gets his back fixed, but he still has some cramps and back pain. It is easy for people to say that, but you have to be in that situation to understand. When you have a back injury you can’t even move, but in that condition, he fields and tries to bowl two overs.”
