He has appealed to the experienced batsman not to retire yet and to be seen performing well in international cricket for a few more years. Let us tell you that Usman Khwaja is currently 38 years old. Tim Paine believes that Usman Khawaja can still be seen performing tremendously for the Australian team. According to him, the experienced player still has a lot of cricket left which can prove to be very helpful for the Australian team. Speaking to SEN Tassie, Team Paine said, ‘I can’t believe we’re even talking about this. It’s just a statistic, especially as a batsman at this age. He is one of the best opening batsmen in the world and has performed brilliantly in the last two years. His eyes are still the same and the veteran players are also batting explosively. Tim Paine presented his side regarding young player Sam Konstas Regarding young player Sam Konstas, the former Australian captain said, ‘If it is a matter of short term, then we have got our answer. Of the four players playing right now, I think Sam Konstas is the best. This young player has batted brilliantly in the unofficial Test series against India A and some of his shots have been really tremendous. In the times to come, he can be counted among the best players. When Usman Khawaja retires from international cricket, Sam Konstas could well replace him. Usman Khawaja can prove to be a very important player for us in the coming summer. Let us tell you that Australia now has to play a five-match Test series against India, which is starting from November 22. The first test match between these two teams will be played in Perth.

The in-form fast bowler was included. When the pitch is giving a lot, you don’t need an artist bowler like Kuldeep, a tall, fast-bowling finger spinner can also do the trick.” Common sense selection. In-form seamer in. When pitch is offering a lot, you don’t need an artiste like Kuldeep, a tall, quick, finger spinner will do.#INDvNZ — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 24, 2024 IND vz NZ: Playing XI of both teams for the second test match India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah.

Mohammed Shami strongly supported out of form Mohammed Siraj, the experienced bowler gave important tips
According to Mohammed Shami, he should keep bowling in the same spot continuously. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj (Image Credit- Twitter) Excellent fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has not been seen in his best form for some time. He has taken only 6 wickets in the last three test matches. Mohammad Siraj took 4 wickets in the Test series played against Bangladesh, while in the first Test against New Zealand played in Bengaluru, he took two wickets. Now Team India has to play the second Test match against New Zealand at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune and looking at the form of Siraj, it can be said that he can be dropped from the playing XI in this match. Recently Mohammed Shami has given his stand regarding Siraj’s form. According to Mohammed Shami, he should keep bowling in the same spot continuously. During a conversation with Sportstak, Mohammed Shami said, ‘It is not that Siraj is a new player, he has a lot of experience. Many times it happens that when we are focusing on something, it does not happen. I think Siraj is currently going into a phase where he has to do something but it is not happening. They are trying to take wickets but players are not getting out. If the ball hits the bat and goes into the air then the players are dropping the catch. This phase also comes sometimes. I think he should not get angry and bowl continuously at the same spot. No one will be able to stop you once you achieve success. Mohammed Shami wants to participate in some Ranji Trophy matches Mohammed Shami is currently training at the National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru and is eagerly waiting to make a comeback to Team India in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, before this, Mohammed Shami wants to play some matches for Bengal so that he can perform well against Australia also. However, the team management and the doctors of the National Cricket Academy do not want to rush into the matter of Mohammed Shami. All the Indian fans also want to see Mohammed Shami once again leaving his mark in international cricket.
