Hardik Pandya & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: X/Twitter/Getty Images) Hardik Pandya is captaining Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, but neither his captaincy nor his individual performance has been good this season. Due to poor form, Hardik’s place in the Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024 is at stake. Meanwhile, former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan has given a big statement regarding Hardik Pandya. Cricket commentator says that the Indian management should not give priority to Hardik Pandya as an all-rounder player at the international level, as he has so far failed to give his best in ICC tournaments. Hardik Pandya has not made that much impact at the international level – Irfan Pathan Irfan Pathan said in the press room show, Ticket to World Cup on Star Sports, ‘Indian cricket needs to make it clear that they should not give him (Hardik Pandya) as much priority as they have given so far, because we have still not won the World Cup. And if you think you are a primary all-rounder, you have to make that kind of impact at the international level. As far as the all-rounder is concerned, he has not made that much impact at the international level, we are only thinking about the potential. Giving the example of the Australian team, Irfan Pathan stressed that the Indian management will have to stop giving priority to any one player. Because everyone in the team is a superstar, and if the team doesn’t do that they will never win big tournaments. Irfan Pathan further said, ‘We are getting confused between IPL performance and international performance. That’s a big difference, first of all he has to play the whole year. Indian cricket needs to stop doing this. Stop prioritizing individuals, if you do, you won’t win big tournaments. What Australia has been doing for many years is that they are really prioritizing the team game. Making everyone a superstar, there is no one superstar, everyone in the team is a superstar.

Chopra said, “When LSG started the innings, Deepak Chahar dismissed Quinton de Kock in the first over. When KL Rahul got out to Fiz (Mustafizur Rahman), it seemed as if this team has tried four different batsmen at number 3. He sent Marcus. “Stoinis this time felt as if he found the impossible possible, he made the impossible possible.” The former Indian opener said, “Marcus Stoinis batted commendably. He was playing shots using his force more than timing. The bowlers had no idea what he was trying to do. Why do all Australians get into form as soon as they hear the name of the World Cup? Maxwell, he is not scoring for Bengaluru (RCB), but he will also be hitting.”

The comparison tag comes with a lot of pressure. I have high hopes from this boy (Yashaswi Jaiswal), when you come from a small town, you know you have to work very hard, otherwise you may have to go back. I think his visa and ticket for the T20 World Cup has been confirmed. He will definitely go to West Indies for the T20 World Cup.
Big update: Team India will not tour Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025
Indian Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter) Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has given a big statement regarding India-Pakistan cricket relations. He said that if Team India tours Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, they will consider a bilateral series with India. In 2021, Pakistan was named as the host of the Champions. Next year’s Champions Trophy is one of the biggest tournaments to be held in that country. This will be the first time that Pakistan will host an ICC tournament in its entirety since the 2009 attacks on the Sri Lankan national cricket team. According to sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Team India may refuse to go to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy. He has also said that changing the venue for this tournament or implementing a hybrid model can also be considered. The source also said that it is important to obtain permission from the government to visit Pakistan, and given the current tense relations between the two countries, it may be difficult to get permission. Team India will not go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025 A BCCI source was quoted by NDTV as saying, “Forget bilateral series… Team India cannot even tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. The venue may change, so a hybrid model is also possible. The Indian board will need permission from the government to tour, currently our relations with Pakistan are also not that good. Champions Trophy is an ICC event, so it will be a difficult decision for India, but without the government’s order/green signal, I don’t see it happening in the near future, it’s impossible. The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in 2012–13. India had refused to go to Pakistan to participate in the Asia Cup in 2023. As a result, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) adopted a hybrid model for the event, with Sri Lanka co-hosting with Pakistan. India and Pakistan last faced each other in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
