That said, when I was 15 or 18, I was definitely trying to adapt my technique to his.

Now Bedingham is playing against Virat-Rohit Let us tell you that Bedingham is currently playing against his idols Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. He is currently moving forward rapidly. “I have only seen him and now to get a chance to play against him is very special,” Bedingham said ahead of the upcoming second Test at home.

But I think because I have played a lot of cricket and seen ups and downs, I am better prepared for Test cricket.

“Exclude Shardul Thakur from the team and bring this spinner in the team” – K Srikkanth’s demand for the second test match.
Ahead of the second Test match against South Africa, former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth demanded the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin in India’s playing eleven. Ashwin got a chance to play in the first Test due to Jadeja’s back spasm. In the Centurion Test, Ashwin bowled economically, conceding only 41 runs in 19 overs and taking just one wicket. Srikanth asked to choose Ashwin instead of Shardul Thakur. He believes that Jadeja and Ashwin together can put pressure on the Proteas batsmen. Despite India opting for a four-man pace attack in the opening Test, the former India opener suggested that Ashwin can team effectively with Jadeja as he bowls economical and can help India against South Africa in the upcoming Cape Town Test. Can present a challenge to the lineup. Ashwin is a better player than Shardul Thakur – K Srikanth Srikanth said on his YouTube channel, “I will still give a chance to Ashwin. I believe Ashwin is better than Shardul Thakur. I will play Ashwin instead of Shardul. Even if he doesn’t take five wickets, he will definitely take some (wickets). Probably, he will form a good combination with Jadeja and bowl tightly. These two can work together and take 4-5 wickets, you never know. That will be enough, he will have done his job.” It is noteworthy that the second and final Test is going to start from January 3 in Cape Town. In such a situation, Team India can consider changes in its playing eleven with the aim of leveling the series. Talking about the team combination, the 64-year-old stressed on the need for fairness and also talked about not dropping Prasidh Krishna after one match.

During his conversation with GeoCinema, he answered many great questions. Shreyanka Patil made her international debut against the England women’s team in December last year. What did Shreyanka Patil say about her debut series against England? Actually I did not get the call. Kanika Ahuja called me and congratulated me. I asked him why he was congratulating me. After that I opened my WhatsApp and saw that I had been added to the online group of the Indian team. After this I came to know that it is true and I am going to play for the Indian team. I have played for the Indian A team before and my next goal was to play for Team India. How did you feel making your debut at Wankhede Stadium? I thought my debut would be in Bangalore but it happened in Mumbai where many people’s dreams come true. My dream also came true in Mumbai. I felt very honored when all the fans were cheering for the national team. I was bowling and suddenly I felt very excited. I felt happy to see that my family members had also come here to watch the match. How did you feel playing under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur? It was the first time when I was playing under Harman Didi and he had given me free rein to bowl. He told me to bowl the way I want to bowl. They have seen me in the Women’s Premier League and I felt very good that the support staff and Amol sir also supported me a lot. Experience of playing in the previous edition of the Women’s Premier League I really enjoyed playing in the Women’s Premier League. Not only with batting and bowling, I also had a lot of fun with my teammates and made many friends. Because of this tournament, I got to learn a lot from Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Devine and Alyssa Perry. I am also eagerly waiting for the upcoming edition. Experience of meeting Virat Kohli This moment was the best for me. We were all sitting and thinking this was just another team meeting. After this I saw that someone was coming wearing a black shirt. When he came forward I said, hey this is Virat Kohli. We had played five matches till then and had lost all of them. Many people were telling me to ask questions but not a single word was coming out of my mouth. He encouraged us very well. How prepared is Shreyanka Patil for the second edition of WPL? I have got a taste of the first edition of the Women’s Premier League and now I feel…
Usman Khawaja explains the reason behind players giving priority to T20 cricket over Tests
The increasing popularity of T-20 cricket in the last few years has had an impact on the longest format of cricket. Usman Khawaja (Photo Source: Twitter) The increasing popularity of T-20 cricket in the last few years has had an impact on the longest format of cricket. For this reason, from time to time, voices have been raised to save Test cricket. In this sequence, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has reacted. He says that international boards will take steps for the safety of Test cricket. Recently, great Australian cricketer Steve Waugh had given a statement regarding red ball cricket and he said that many cricketers are moving away from the longest format of the game. Usman Khawaja’s reaction came immediately after this statement. He says that despite the craze for T-20 cricket, the only way to save Test cricket is to pay good salaries to the players. Speaking to Fox Sports, Khawaja said, if I was a player from another country and was getting paid well to play international cricket, I would have got paid more to play T20 cricket. I’m sorry, but I’m going to play T20 cricket. Not because it doesn’t make sense, I love playing for my country, but it’s also a matter of taking care of your family. Cricket boards need transparency He further said that, in my personal opinion, unfortunately the pay to play international cricket is not as good as in some other countries. These are just raw facts. I know this because I have talked to players from other countries. I’ve asked them what their average salary is, what their match contracts are for their countries. Khawaja says that, we have to find a way to encourage other countries to play international and especially Test cricket. For this, all cricket boards need transparency so that they can find out how to pay the players in the best way. If you look, there is a huge gap for the Windies, they are struggling, they are not bringing in enough money, so world cricket needs to come together to help. But until you get that clarity and know 100% that the money isn’t misallocated, it’s hard to know. read this also- Inzamam’s nephew dismissed from Pakistan team, 21 year old player will get a chance to debut in the third test

Interestingly, before the three-match series against Pakistan, head coach Andrew McDonald hinted that Cameron Green could be sent to open, but Australia captain Pat Cummins has a different opinion on the same issue. pat cummins Has said that it is not necessary that he be a specialist opener. Pat Cummins gave a surprising answer regarding David Warner Pat Cummins said about the upcoming Test series, “I have had some informal talks with Ronnie (coach Andrew McDonald) and we have always said let’s work on this. We have a little time till the next match, so I am sure the selectors will sit after this and decide on it (the opener). The good thing is that we have no shortage of options. There are probably three or four guys who can play up there and we think they’ll do a great job, but honestly, we haven’t talked about it in too much depth yet.” Cummins further said, “Uzi (Usman Khawaja) was not a specialist till then, there was only one place available in the team and he forced his way into the team. So ideally here you should have someone who has experience of opening, but I don’t think this is something that cannot be changed. It is very difficult to replace Warner.” Also read: Athiya Shetty stole KL Rahul’s heart again
