Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket – Krishnamachari Srikkanth KL Rahul, Kris Srikanth, and Sarfaraz Khan (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian cricket team is to play a two-match Test series at home against Bangladesh from September 19. The BCCI has announced the squad for the first Test, but choosing the playing 11 is going to be a big headache for head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma. Because there will be competition among the players for some positions. In the middle order, Sarfaraz Khan will compete with KL Rahul for the number-5 spot, while the team has two wicketkeeping options in Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant. Meanwhile, former Indian player and BCCI chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth believes that the team management will put KL Rahul ahead of Sarfaraz Khan because he is a big player. That’s why the former legend feels bad for the young batsman Sarfaraz Khan. If a big player returns, you will have to lose your place- Chris Srikanth Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kris Srikkanth said, Honestly, I feel bad for Sarfaraz Khan. But this happens many times in Test cricket. You may be playing well but when a big player returns, you will have to lose your place, for example Rishabh Pant is returning due to which Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are losing their place because KL Rahul is coming. Kris Srikkanth feels that KL Rahul will be preferred over Sarfaraz due to his overseas record. Sarfaraz Khan has played only one Test series so far, that too at home against England earlier this year. In the back of the mind, they are also keeping the Australia series. New Zealand is also coming. KL Rahul has done well overseas, he has done well in Australia. BCCI has not released Sarfaraz from the Duleep Trophy squad BCCI has made changes in the teams for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The players who have been selected in the team for the first Test against Bangladesh have been released from the Duleep Trophy. However, Sarfaraz Khan and Yash Dayal have been retained for the second round of Duleep Trophy. The reason behind not releasing Sarfaraz Khan is believed to be that he may not get a chance in the playing 11 of the Test against Bangladesh. The second round of Duleep Trophy 2024 will be played in Anantapur from September 12. At the same time, the first Test match between India and Bangladesh will be played in Chepauk from September 19. Team India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh- Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal

The former Sri Lankan international is considering his options and may take a decision in the next few days. KKR already has Chandrakant Pandit as head coach and Bharat Arun as bowling coach but they have to fill other positions as well. Batting coach Abhishek Nair and fielding coach Ryan ten Doeschate joined the Indian team after Gambhir became the head coach. The franchise is currently looking for their replacements as well. The Shreyas Iyer-led side also wants to retain most of its players for the upcoming edition of the tournament.

We have done the same thing that we do all the time: Veteran player made a big statement on Pakistan’s poor performance in the second Test
Bangladesh leads 1-0 in the two-match Test series. Ahmed Shahzad (Pic Source-X) Currently, the Pakistan team is playing the second Test match against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. In this match, the performance of the players of the Pakistan team has been very poor and Bangladesh has constantly put pressure on them. Let us tell you, Bangladesh needs 185 runs to win the second test and they have scored 122 runs after losing two wickets till the lunch break on the fifth day. They still need 63 more runs. Former player Ahmed Shahzad has given his opinion on the poor performance of the Pakistan team. According to him, this is not the first time that the players of the Pakistan team have performed very poorly. Ahmed Shahzad shared a video on his official social media account in which he said, ‘Bangladesh bowlers brought the team back. They troubled the Pakistani batsmen a lot with their bowling. Once again the host batsmen played bad shots. The batsmen’s bat was going away from their body. We see this in T20 or T10. When a player gets out like this, the coach should question him.’ Here is the video: Pakistan is in Losing Position as Bangladesh Strikes Back🔥#PAKvsBAN #ShanMasood #PakistanCricket pic.twitter.com/7VQHuCdcij — Ahmad Shahzad 🇵🇰 (@iamAhmadshahzad) September 2, 2024 Ahmed Shahzad further said, ‘You are getting out on these shots in Test cricket. You are not learning from your own mistakes. I think you do not have the art. Or you are deliberately trying to make this mistake continuously. In this way you are playing with the emotions of the people of the country.’ Ahmed Shahzad had earlier said, ‘I will hold the PCB responsible for this, not the players. Because they had to take the decision and they have not done their job well. We thought that we would easily defeat the Bangladesh team but it did not happen. We thought that when we defeat them, people’s anger will subside.’ Let us tell you, Bangladesh won the first Test played between these two teams by 10 wickets. Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series.

“The doors of return to Team India are closed for Pujara”- Former veteran cricketer made a shocking claim
Cheteshwar Pujara. (Image Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has questioned the absence of senior Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara as well as Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh from the four Duleep Trophy teams. He said that if Pujara was a contender for a place in the Test team, he could have proved to be an important batsman for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Senior star cricketers including captain Rohit Sharma, key batsman Virat Kohli, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and key spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have been rested from the Duleep Trophy. While Pujara and Rahane have been dropped from the team, Samson and Rinku Singh did not find a place in any of the four teams selected for the Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali said that he was surprised by the non-selection of some big names. Basit Ali gave a surprising statement about Cheteshwar Pujara Baris Ali said on his YouTube channel, “I saw the teams and I was surprised that 3-4 names are not in it. Ajinkya Rahane is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara is not there. Sanju Samson is not there. Rinku Singh is not there. Shivam Dubey has been selected. I think he is being prepared as an all-rounder. Let’s see who performs well in the Duleep Trophy.” He further added, “Pujara could have proved useful in Australia. I am surprised that he is not there despite Gautam Gambhir being there (as India’s coach). Even Rinku Singh is not in the squad. Again, keeping Gambhir in mind, it is quite surprising.” Let us tell you that apart from young Shubman Gill, players like Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and Abhimanyu Easwaran have been given the responsibility of captaincy in the teams for Duleep Trophy 2024.
