The BGT is now considered one of cricket’s most iconic rivalries, comparable to the historic Ashes series between Australia and England. There is a tough competition between both the countries (India and Australia) for this prestigious trophy, making this series a special festival for cricket fans. Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc explained the importance of BGT and said that this series is as important as the Ashes for Australian cricketers and fans. Starc said- “For Australian cricket, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy comes after the Ashes in importance. The Ashes have a long history, but the Border-Gavaskar rivalry is getting stronger with every series. Now it is being seen as a five-Test series, which is great for both the rivalry and Test cricket.” Pat Cummins’ confidence Australian captain Pat Cummins also acknowledged the importance of this upcoming series and said that his team is ready to avenge the previous defeat. Cummins said- “We have lost to India in Australia in the last two series, so now it is time for us to prove ourselves. We have won against them many times, and we will get confidence from those wins.” World Test Championship and BGT The importance of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series also increases due to the fact that both the teams are at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. 60 crucial points will be at stake in this series, which can prove to be decisive for the teams reaching the WTC final. Which two teams will face each other in the WTC final to be held at Lord’s in 2025 will depend on the result of this series.

Shreyas Iyer once again failed in this tournament due to his old weakness. Actually, while playing for Mumbai in the Buchi Babu tournament, Iyer failed to face short pitch balls. In such a situation, he will have to work on this weakness of his before the upcoming Test series. Let us tell you that, in a match against Tamil Nadu Cricket Association XI (TNCA XI), Shreyas Iyer once again got out on a short pitch ball, which exposed his weakness. His weakness against the short ball has raised questions about his selection in Team India. This weakness of Iyer is often exploited by opposing bowlers, especially in international cricket where bowlers take full advantage of such weaknesses. This situation is ringing alarm bells for Iyer’s career, especially when it is important for him to secure his place in the Indian team.

Big claim as soon as Jay Shah became ICC President, India will go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy, 50% confirmed? Know how this happened?
Former Pakistan cricketer has assured that now no one can stop India from coming to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rashid Latif says Team India will come to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has been elected unopposed as ICC president. He will take over as ICC president from December 1. Instead of regretting this news, some former Pakistani cricketers have raised PCB’s hopes regarding the Champions Trophy. In this regard, a former Pakistani cricketer has assured that now no one can stop India from coming to Pakistan. Pakistan is very excited to host an ICC tournament on home soil for the first time in almost three decades. But no one still has an answer to the question whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan or not. Jai Shah as ICC President raises Pakistan’s hopes: Rumors are flying that BCCI does not want to send Team India to Pakistan. According to media reports, India wants to play its matches at a neutral venue. Amidst all this, Secretary Jay Shah was elected unopposed as the new President of the ICC. After this, many fans have predicted that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan under any circumstances. But on the other hand, Pakistan’s hopes have doubled with this news. The reason for this has been explained in detail by Pakistan’s former captain Rashid Latif. What did Rashid Latif say? Rashid Latif, while talking on the YouTube channel ‘Caught Behind’, said, “If Jay Shah is elected unopposed, it means that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has supported him. I think it is unlikely that he will sign the declaration of India not going to Pakistan. I think we have got 50 percent confirmation that the Indian team is coming to Pakistan. Jay Shah’s work has been beneficial for cricket so far, be it for BCCI or ICC.”
Former Pakistani captain made a big statement, said- ICC Chairman Jay Shah should show emotion and send India to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy
Pakistan has the hosting rights for Champions Trophy 2025. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has been elected ICC chairman. Shah’s appointment has left the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wondering about the future of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that this time the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy are with Pakistan. However, it is not yet confirmed whether India will tour Pakistan for this multi-nation tournament or not? Also, looking at the current political relations between the two countries, it seems that India will hardly go to Pakistan. If this happens, then once again the Champions Trophy can be held in a hybrid format like the Asia Cup. It is worth noting that at that time the hosting rights were with Pakistan, but India played all its matches including the final in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, now after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman, a big statement has come from former Pakistani captain and legendary batsman Younis Khan. Younis believes that Shah will maintain the spirit of sportsmanship and will help India tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Younis Khan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman recently, Younis Khan, quoting Cricket Pakistan, said- Jay Shah becoming the ICC chief should lead to the rise of cricket. Shah needs to show sportsmanship, because with the good initiative of the ICC chief, India can come to Pakistan to play cricket, in the same way Pakistan can also tour India. Well, now it remains to be seen whether India will tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not? However, looking at the current scenario, it seems impossible.

All the big stars are going to be seen playing in the tournament except Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. Initially there were reports that these three players would be seen playing in the Duleep Trophy, as the BCCI has already warned that if the national team players are free then they will have to participate in domestic cricket. But many great players are surprised that the selectors did not select Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Bumrah for the Duleep Trophy. Meanwhile, cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has also expressed his displeasure over the players being given rest. Sanjay Manjrekar tweeted this Sanjay Manjrekar said on social media that India has played 249 international matches in the last five years. However, Rohit, Kohli and Bumrah have played only 59%, 61% and 34% of these matches respectively. Manjrekar believes that all three players have got enough rest. In such a situation, all three should have been selected for the Duleep Trophy. India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of them. Virat has played 61% and Bumrah has played 34%. I see them as India players who have been rested, they could have been selected for the Duleep Trophy. India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of those. Virat 61% & Bumrah 34%. I see them as well rested India players.

Big news has come out about Mohammed Shami’s return, he will be able to become a part of Team India only by playing Ranji Trophy
Team India’s star fast bowler Mohammed Shami has been away from cricket for the last several months due to injury. Meanwhile, a big report has come out regarding his return. It is expected that Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami will return to competitive cricket with the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy. It is believed that he will represent Bengal in one of his first two matches against Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Since there is only a two-day gap between the matches, it does not seem possible for him to play in both the matches. It has also been reported that if his recovery is good as per the BCCI standards, Shami may well make a comeback to international cricket for the upcoming series against New Zealand. The Kiwi team will tour India for a three-match Test series starting in mid-October. Given Shami’s recovery speed, he is expected to play in at least one of the three Test matches against the Kiwi team before Rohit Sharma and Co. begin their tour for the Border-Gavaskar series. Let us tell you that in November, India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar series. The aggressive fast bowler had a stellar performance with the ball in the 50-over World Cup last year. After that, he was all set to be a part of the T20 World Cup 2024 team. In the ODI World Cup, he emerged as the leading wicket-taker with 24 wickets in just seven innings. However, Shami had to stay away from the game due to injury.
