According to Devine, she wants to keep her workload balanced and that is why she has taken this decision. Sophie Devine said, ‘I feel very honored that I was given the captaincy of the New Zealand team in both formats. I have enjoyed another workload a lot but sometimes it is quite challenging. After leaving the T20 post, my focus and strength will increase and at the same time I will be able to understand many things to the players who will captain the team in the future.’ I am not ready to step down from ODI captaincy yet: Sophie Devine The brilliant player further said, ‘I am not yet fully ready to step down from the captaincy of the ODI team. But I will not be with my team all the time and that is why I think that leaving the captaincy of one format will also give time to other captains.’ New Zealand women’s team head coach Ben Sawyer said, ‘Sophie is one of the aggressive captains and we feel very happy that her captaincy gives a lot of strength to the team inside and outside the field. She is one of the experienced players of New Zealand. She has a lot of knowledge of the game and the young players have also learned a lot from her.

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.

IPL 2025 Mega Auction: SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad) will throw these 3 big names out of the team even if they don’t want to
SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. Poetry Maran. (Photo Source: Twitter) IPL 2025: These 3 big names will be out of SRH team!: The IPL 2025 mega auction is approaching, and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are looking to make some big changes to the team. SRH performed well in 2024 and finished runners-up, but this time they are all set to win the trophy. In this direction, SRH may have to release some top players even if they do not want to. Let’s know about the three key players whom SRH can drop from the team in the IPL 2025 auction. 1. Aidan Markram Aiden Markaram (Photo Source: Twitter) South African batsman Aiden Markram has been a part of SRH for the past few years and has also made a mark as the captain of SRH Eastern Cape in the SA20 League. However, his performance in IPL 2023 and 2024 has disappointed the team. His record as captain has not been good and the SRH management may consider releasing him and give a chance to new and influential players. 2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Pic Source-Twitter) Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the most experienced players of SRH and played a vital role in leading SRH to the IPL title in 2016. But his form has declined in recent seasons. Bhuvi’s performance has been relatively weak after the injuries. The team may have to release Bhuvi to give a chance to young bowlers. 3. Marco Jensen Marco Jansen (Image Credit- Twitter) Marco Jensen made it to SRH on the basis of his talent, but his performance did not live up to expectations. Jensen did not perform well with the ball and bat last season, due to which SRH may release him in the auction. Why can SRH release these 3 players? Sunrisers Hyderabad wants to make a strong claim to win the title in IPL 2025. For this, they need balance and young energy in the team. Even though Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jensen have been important players for SRH, the team has to prepare itself for future challenges. Therefore, SRH is planning to release these players and bring in new and talented players in the mega auction. This will not only set a new direction for the team but will also increase SRH’s chances of winning the title.

Karun Nair is currently participating in the Maharaj Trophy KSCA T20 2024. He has batted brilliantly in this tournament so far and has won the hearts of all the fans. Karun Nair told Sportskeeda during an exclusive conversation, ‘It feels great that this tournament has started again. All the players like to play at home and it is very close to my heart. I have many memories associated with Chinnaswamy Stadium. I started my cricketing career from here. When I went to Vidarbha from Karnataka in domestic cricket, everyone welcomed me very well. It felt like I have come back to my family after a long time. We performed very well and the team reached the finals. We could not win the finals but the performance of all the players was tremendous throughout the season. Hopefully, we will want to continue this performance in the future as well. Joining Vidarbha from Karnataka was a very different thing because both the states are very different but they did not let me feel like that. The best batsman made a big revelation about participating for Northamptonshire In the last season of the County Championship, Karun Nair was seen playing for Northamptonshire. He scored 249 runs in three matches in Division One at an average of 83. Not only this, this brilliant player scored 150 runs against Surrey. Nair further said, ‘It was a huge opportunity and every batsman wants to bat well in English conditions. This experience was really great. Ranji Trophy was really different because there was a difference in both the conditions and the ball. Everything was new here. I have scored some double centuries. I did the same this year too. It was my target to score 200 in the season and not 300 because everyone talks about my triple century against England. I hope my target is different in the next season. It is very important to keep progressing in your game and keep performing better as a player. I am also eager to make a comeback in the Indian team. However, before that it is very important for me to perform well in domestic cricket as well. For this, I will have to play different shots and also learn them. I just want to become better than before this year. My coach and RX sir have supported me a lot.
