The way Joe Root scores runs is truly unbelievable. Joe Root is in tremendous form at the moment and it is great to watch him play. When Joe Root made his debut in international cricket, I knew about his ability. I don’t remember who I told this to but my words were that this player will score 10,000 runs.

“Should we do training or swimming..” Afghanistan captain joked after seeing water filled in Delhi ground, read full statement

“Boys, we should have brought swimming equipment with us. We are not going here to play. This is a good place for swimming,” Hashmatullah Shahidi was quoted as saying by the Indian Express. Cricket Pitches (Source X) Afghanistan team will be in Greater Noida from September 9 Afghanistan is set to play a one-off Test match against New Zealand at the Shaheed Vijay Pathik Stadium in K. What makes this match interesting is that it will be a ‘home’ match for Afghanistan due to the political situation in their country. However, as soon as the team reached Delhi for practice, they faced some major problems due to the bad condition of the ground because of the rain. Due to the continuous rain in the city, the outfield of the Greater Noida Stadium got wet and the training pitch was flooded. The groundsmen were trying to dry the pitch with the help of two table fans. Notably, there is no super sopper on the ground and there are not enough covers to protect the field beyond the 30-yard circle. Afghanistan captain Hasmatullah Shahid made fun of the wet ground The condition of the ground prompted heavy criticism from Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahid, who jokingly remarked that they should have brought swimming gear as it was a good place to swim. “Boys, we should have brought swimming gear with us. We are not going here to play. This is a good place for swimming,” Shahidi said, according to the Indian Express. Addressing the ground staff, the Afghanistan captain joked that they are used to such conditions but what will they say when the New Zealand team comes on the field. The Afghan captain said, Sir, we are used to it, but what will you answer to the people of New Zealand? This will be the first Test match at this stadium in Greater Noida. Earlier in 2017, five ODIs and three T20 matches were played between Afghanistan and Ireland at this stadium. Earlier in July, the BCCI gave the Afghanistan Cricket Board an NOC to host its home matches in India after a gap of four years. Afghanistan was initially scheduled to host Bangladesh in a full-fledged series against Bangladesh, consisting of three Tests and a few white-ball games. However, due to the extreme heat wave in North India during this period, the series was postponed.

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.

(Photo Source: Getty Images) Former player Rameez Raja has said that Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood needs to improve his batting. Not only this, he also said that Shan Masood will have to perform better as a captain. Let us tell you, Pakistan played its first test match against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. In this match, Pakistan had to face defeat by 10 wickets against Bangladesh. Talking about Shan Masood, he scored 6 runs in the first innings while in the second innings the captain of the Pakistan team was out after scoring 14 runs. Ever since Shan Masood got the captaincy of the Pakistan Test team, there has been a significant decline in his batting. The former player shared a video on his YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Shan Masood needs to improve his batting and he should also have an understanding of the game. He is an experienced captain. Shan Masood has also captained in the Pakistan Super League and county matches. I do not understand at all with what thinking he played four fast bowlers on the track of Rawalpindi. He will also have to improve his batting. If Masood keeps getting out early like this, then his team will also have to face problems.’ Here is the video: Rameez Raja further said, ‘After this defeat, the Pakistan team may have to suffer a lot. They cannot lose the series because there will be a lot of pressure on them now. Losing the series means that the tension in the dressing room will also increase and many questions will be raised. Pakistan is losing the series at home and that too against Bangladesh, which means that the host has not understood the situation well. Pakistan’s batsmen also did not perform well and the bowlers also bowled disappointingly. The second and final Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is starting on August 30. Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series.

Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as India Test captain: Sanjay Bangar

According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for some more time in Tests. Virat Kohli Test (Image Credit- Twitter) Indian team’s experienced batsman Virat Kohli is considered one of the best players in the world. Virat Kohli’s performance in international cricket has always been tremendous. Not only this, Kohli has also left his mark as a captain. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India won the series in Australia. Not only this, India also won the Lord’s Test played in 2021. However, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian team has not won a single ICC trophy. According to former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, Virat Kohli should have remained the captain for a little longer in Tests. Let us tell you, in September 2021, Virat Kohli resigned from the post of captaincy of T20. Not only this, shortly after this, he withdrew his name from the post of captaincy of all formats of India. Speaking on The Rao Podcast, Sanjay Bangar said, ‘My personal belief is that Virat Kohli should have spent a little more time as Test captain. He should have captained India in a few more Test matches. I believe he had taken a decision on this matter long ago.’ The decision was not discussed in the right way: Virat Kohli Virat Kohli captained the Indian team in 68 Tests, out of which the team won 40 and their winning percentage was 58.82. Not only this, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian fast bowlers also bowled lethally and maintained their pressure on the batsmen of the opposing team. Under his captaincy, the team confirmed its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2021. In 2022, Sourav Ganguly was the President of BCCI and he had said that the board had appealed to Kohli to captain the T20 team. He also said that Kohli had rejected this appeal and the selectors are not fully ready for two different captains for white ball cricket. However, later Virat Kohli made a big revelation about this. Virat Kohli had said, ‘Whatever was told that we had taken this decision together was not correct. When I decided to step down from the captaincy of the T20 team, I first went to the BCCI. I told them the reason behind it. I was not told at all that I have to step down from the post of T20 captaincy. I was completely sure about this. At that time I had also said that I can also captain the ODI and Test team, but the officials felt that I cannot take this responsibility. I had told my side and left the decision to them.’ Pakistan’s luck is bad, they have not won a Test match for 1294 days These 5 Indian cricketers are addicted to alcohol Shikhar Dhawan did this trick to win the ‘Golden Bat’ 5 big records of Shikhar Dhawan, in this case he is ahead of Kohli Shaheen Afridi became a father, his wife gave birth to…

After the match, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood made a big revelation about the Rawalpindi pitch. According to Shan Masood, the pitch did not play the way they had thought. Not only this, Shan Masood also agreed that the players of the Pakistan team performed disappointingly in the first test. In the presentation after the match, Shan Masood said, ‘I will not make any excuse but the pitch did not play the way we had thought. The weather was also very bad in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It has rained here for the last 8 to 9 days. Looking at the pitch, it seemed that the bowlers would get a lot of help here and that is why we gave as many opportunities as possible to the fast bowlers. However, at the end of the day, it did not prove right for us. We declared the innings because we wanted to take the game forward. Not only this, we could have performed better in bowling and fielding. The second and final Test match between the two teams will start from August 30 Talking about the first Test, the host players were unable to leave their mark. Not only the bowlers but the batsmen also performed very poorly in the second innings. Now the second and final Test between these two teams is starting from 30 August. Pakistan will definitely want to win the second Test. Currently, Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series.
