(Photo by OLI SCARFF/AFP/Getty Images) South Africa has played only four matches in the third round of the World Test Championship. In comparison, Australia and England have played 12-12 matches, India have played nine matches, New Zealand and West Indies have played six matches each and Pakistan has played five matches. Out of the four Test matches played by South Africa, two were played against New Zealand. In these 2 matches, South Africa’s first choice players were busy playing the SA 20 tournament. Due to which the Proteas’ B team went on tour. The Temba Bavuma-led side is currently placed seventh in the WTC (World Test Championship) points table and qualifying for the World Test Championship final seems to be a tough task. Meanwhile, the captain spoke openly about the schedule and said that the players always feel like they are starting afresh again and again as there is no consistency in the team. Temba Bavuma expressed displeasure over the team calendar There is no problem with players in the world’s 3 big teams Australia, England and India. International cricketers are always present to play matches for the team, but South African players give up on the country’s team to play league cricket. On this, Bavuma said that the team management is discussing the Test blueprint. With its help, the schedule and team calendar will be improved. Bavuma hopes that things will improve in the future. He said despite all the challenges, the players are excited ahead of playing against the West Indies in the two-match series starting August 7. “It’s a challenge that’s not necessarily unique to us. Because it’s a challenge that all teams outside of the big three face. It feels like we’re starting over and over again as a team. The challenge is to work with what we have. We don’t use it as an excuse.”
This is the real reason why Yuzvendra Chahal was not selected in the team for Sri Lanka tour, his career may end!

Yuzvendra Chahal (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Venkatapathy Raju has given such a statement on Yuzvendra Chahal being excluded from both T20 and ODI format teams for India’s upcoming Sri Lanka tour, which has started a war again. It is worth noting that due to Chahal not being given a chance in the team for a long time, this matter has become a topic of discussion in the cricket world. Talking about this, Raju said that Chahal is a great bowler, but the team is currently focusing on all-rounders. Due to which players like Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel were given preference over Chahal, who is also a specialist bowler and batsman. Raju said that because of these all-rounder players, it is becoming very challenging for any specialist bowler to secure a place in the playing 11. As quoted by the Times of India, Venkatapathy Raju said- “You should always believe in yourself. Chahal has been a fantastic bowler. But unfortunately, we focus more on all-rounders. That’s why we had Jadeja, then we had Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. If Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja are part of the squad then you cannot keep them away from the playing 11.” “Yuzi is a fantastic bowler, but he got dropped because he hasn’t played enough matches. It’s not like you’re getting old or anything is taken away from you. You can always play good matches, come back and perform well. Now, the biggest problem for all selectors is that there is so much variety in choosing players now.” “It takes real courage to pick someone with such a variety. Hopefully he will play a lot of domestic cricket and come back stronger.”
“We are very nice people”- Shoaib Malik requested Team India to come to Pakistan
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has urged the Indian cricket team to tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. In fact, there has been no bilateral series played between India and Pakistan since 2013 and the two teams have faced each other only in tournaments like ICC tournaments or Asia Cup since then. With the Champions Trophy 2025 scheduled to be held in Pakistan, the Indian cricket team will have to travel to the country to participate in the cricket event. However, given the turbulent political relations between the two countries, it is almost certain that the Indian team will not travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. At the same time, former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has requested the Indian team to come to Pakistan. We are good people- Shoaib Malik Malik reminded that the Pakistan team played in India in the ODI World Cup last year. Shoaib said that now India should come to us. Former all-rounder Shoaib told Cricket Pakistan, “Whatever differences there are between the two countries, that is a separate issue. It should be resolved separately. Politics should not come into sports. Last year the Pakistan team went to India and now this is a good opportunity for the Indian team as well. I think there are many players in the Indian team who have never played in Pakistan. So this will be a great opportunity for them. We are very nice people and we are very hospitable people. I am sure that the Indian team should definitely come.” PTI had recently reported that the schedule and format of the Champions Trophy were not discussed in the ICC’s annual meeting. The report said that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has left the task of convincing India to come to Pakistan for the tournament to the ICC. Now it will be interesting to see whether the Indian team goes to Pakistan for this tournament or the Champions Trophy is played in a hybrid model.

BCCI wants to see all-rounder Riyan Parag playing in Team India for a long time, read the full news
Parag was able to score only 24 runs in the three matches played in the T20 series against Zimbabwe Riyan Parag (Image Credit- Twitter X) Despite an average performance in his T20 debut on the Zimbabwe tour, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shown faith in young all-rounder Riyan Parag. Parag scored just 24 runs in the three matches played on this tour, but despite this, he has got a place in Team India not only for the T20 but also for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. It is worth noting that Tilak Verma is currently suffering from injury, due to this also Parag has a chance. But if a source close to BCCI is to be believed, then in the coming time Parag can be seen playing continuously for Team India, because BCCI is planning to prepare Parag for the future. BCCI source gave big information Let us tell you that recently a BCCI source quoted the Times of India as saying – Riyan Parag is a very talented player, and he has improved his playing attitude manifold. Now he wants to stay on the wicket and play. He can bowl well, and is a brilliant fielder, to increase his importance in the team. The selectors want to prepare him for the future. The source further said about Harshit Rana’s selection in the team- He can bowl yorkers and slow balls. He can trouble batsmen with his variations in the death overs. This is what makes him a good option in white ball cricket. Well, now it will be interesting to see how Riyan Parag will perform in the series against Sri Lanka. If he performs well in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, then he can be seen playing in Team India for a long time.
After failing in IPL, Hardik no longer gets respect in Team India, former Sri Lankan cricketer gave a shocking statement
After Gautam Gambhir became the new coach, Hardik had to lose the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI) About a month ago, when the Indian cricket team won the title of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of that team India. However, after the departure of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India, Hardik has lost the captaincy of the T20 format. The Indian cricket team management has shown faith in experienced Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik Pandya, which is considered to be the beginning of a new era for Surya and Gambhir. Along with this, the responsibility of vice-captaincy has been handed over to young Shubman Gill. So, when Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya the captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a dramatic manner before the start of IPL 2024, it was not liked not only by cricket experts but also by MI fans. Whenever Hardik came to the field to toss or bat, he had to face boos. So Mumbai Indians could not do anything special under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and finished the tournament at number 10. On the other hand, now Hardik Pandya will be seen playing on India’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. But before the start of this tour of Team India, a big statement of former Sri Lankan cricketer Russell Arnold has come to the fore. Russell Arnold made a big statement Let us tell you that before India’s tour against Sri Lanka started, Russell Arnold, as quoted by Sports Tak, said – Both (Surya and Hardik) are exceptional players. They bring different things to the team. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen. The way he plays, it seems that no one reads the game better than him. Arnold further said- Hardik has also shown these things. But I think that after the way his IPL 2024 went, he has not been able to get the kind of respect in Team India, which BCCI must have thought about him at one time.
