However, the young Australian player Jake Fraser-McGurk, who scored a half-century in 15 balls in the IPL, has not been included in this team. Apart from McGurk, Australia’s legendary batsman Steve Smith has also not got a place in this team. On the other hand, recently Jack Fraser McGurk has given a big statement regarding his not being selected for the T20 World Cup. McGurk says he hasn’t earned it yet. Jake Fraser-McGurk gave a big statement Let us tell you that regarding his non-selection in the Australian team in the upcoming T20 World Cup, McGurk said on the Willow Talk podcast – The conversation with the selection committee was good. You can look at this in two ways. Firstly, I have proved myself for selection in the last one month, and secondly, one and a half month ago I was not even in the picture of selection. He had a good idea a month and a half ago about what kind of team he had to make and what the team combination should be. It was difficult to fit into this combination. Right now we have David Warner, who is a great player in all three formats. Also there is Travis Head who is doing a great job here (IPL). McGurk further said- If I get a place as a reserve player, it will be very good for me, because I can get a lot of experience with the team there. This didn’t bother me too much because I was not in such a situation. I don’t think I’ve earned that yet. World Cup cricket and franchise cricket are quite different.
Australia’s tour of Ireland hangs in the balance due to lack of money and venue
Ireland Cricket’s High Performance Director Richard Holsworth says that the series will not be shifted to England. Australia vs Ireland (Image Credit- Twitter X) Under the ICC’s Future Tour Program (FTP), Australia’s senior men’s cricket team was scheduled to tour Ireland for three ODIs and a one-off T20 match in August-September this year. However, Australia’s tour of Ireland is stuck in limbo due to shortage of funds and lack of match venues. It is noteworthy that when last time Australia was on England tour for the ODI series, the only ODI match was played between Ireland and Australia in England. However, now before this big tour of Australia, Ireland can host a tri-series with Netherlands and Scotland. So, after winning the only test match against Afghanistan, they also have to play a test match with Zimbabwe, but due to lack of resources, the venues for these matches have not been finalized yet. Richard Holdsworth gave a big statement regarding this tour of Australia On the other hand, Cricket Ireland’s High Performance Director Richard Holsworth says that the series will not be shifted to England. “Broadly speaking, it’s a real challenge to distribute what we have in FTP,” Holsworth said as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo. We have more matches proposed than the number of venues we have got. To be honest, after Covid the cost of organizing matches in Ireland has increased significantly. Hotel prices and the cost of temporary infrastructure at the stadium have varied greatly. Apart from this, on shifting the Australia tour to England, Holsworth said – England’s cricket schedule is very busy at that time. Obviously we are not going to consider playing a team like Australia on a small county ground in England. But we are thinking about all those options whether we can host Australia in the coming summer?
Australia’s star all-rounder injured before T20 World Cup 2024, also out of IPL
However, the injury aggravated before the conclusion of the series and he was ruled out of the third T20I played in Perth. Now due to that injury he is out of the New Zealand tour also. However, he would still like to make it to Australia’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad. It is expected that Stoinis will be fit before the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). There he plays for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Talking about Aaron Hardy, he is currently playing for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania in Hobart. Hardy did not leave with his team on Saturday as the board included him in the squad for the T20 series against New Zealand. Aaron Hardy has played 7 T20 matches for Australia, in which he has scored only 69 runs in five innings. Let us tell you that the Australian team, which is going to play the last series before the T-20 World Cup, will already be playing this series without its vice-captain Matthew Wade. Matthew Wade has taken a break due to family reasons. At the same time, due to the absence of Stoinis, the Australian camp has become a little weak.

We are confident that he will get better as he plays the game and learns more about his game. There are ups and downs in the cricket career of every player. All players go through this phase.

The Indian team had a very bad start in this Test series but they made a tremendous comeback in it. Let us tell you, in this test series, the Indian team was all out for 36 runs. From here, the difficulty for the Indian team increased because the then team captain Virat Kohli had to return to his home. This was because at that time Vamika was about to be born. However, in the unavailability of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane took charge of the team and captained it very well. Initially it seemed that the hosts would clean sweep India 4-0 in this Test series but it did not happen. Ajinkya Rahane scored a century in the second Test match played in Melbourne and India leveled the series 1-1. After this the fourth test match was played at Gabba, Brisbane. This was the venue where Australia had not lost a single match in 32 years before this match. At the same time, the combination of the Indian team had become even worse because the team’s experienced fast bowlers were injured and Mohammed Siraj had to lead the bowling lineup of the team, which till then had played only two Tests. However, Mohammad Siraj bowled very well in that test and took 5 wickets. Not only this, India achieved the target of 328 runs. Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill batted excellently In the fourth test match, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill batted very well for the Indian team. Shubhman Gill had scored 91 runs in 146 balls in this match. After the dismissal of Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant played an important role in the victory of the Indian team by batting explosively. Other players performed very well for the Indian team in this match. Washington Sundar played a valuable inning of 22 runs in 29 balls. While on one hand many people felt that the Indian team would lose this test series, on the other hand he told everyone that no matter what happens, they should never be taken lightly.
