Samson tried as opener in T-20 series against Bangladesh Sanju Samson (Photo Source: Getty Images) Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has recently achieved a big feat in T20I cricket. He achieved the feat of scoring two consecutive T20I centuries for India. But he could not even open his account in the second T20 match against South Africa. Let us tell you that Samson was a part of Team India for the T20 World Cup 2024, but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. After the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from T20 International, after which the opening slot became vacant. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal were considered to open along with Abhishek Sharma in the T20Is, but both Gill and Jaiswal were rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson was tried as an opener against Bangladesh In such a situation, the team management led by Gautam Gambhir decided to try Sanju Samson as an opener. Samson flopped in the first two T20 matches against Bangladesh, but scored a century in the third match. He also got a chance to open in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa and Sanju maintained his form and scored a century in the first match. Now former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik feels that Samson has confirmed his opening place. He said that Samson has made a lot of technical changes in his batting style and in future he should open with Jaiswal. Samson has cemented his place as an opening batsman – Dinesh Karthik Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, I think he (Samson) has cemented his place as an opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal and he will remain an opening batsman in the T20 format for at least some time. He has made many technical changes, especially to suit this format. He focused a lot on hitting sixes. He further added that, against Keshav Maharaj, he stepped out but missed the length of the ball. Maharaj beat him in the air, but Sanju held his position and waited for the shot and hit it over cover. He is a guy who doesn’t panic even if he misses the length and grabs that extra second. It’s a very difficult skill, but he does it very well. This is what makes them very special.

This top official of the five-time champion team said that he is very happy with this and he does not need anything else. Kasi Vishwanathan said that when he (Dhoni) is ready, what else do we need? We are happy. Now CSK is all set to retain MS Dhoni as an uncapped player. Apart from this, if some reports are to be believed then Ravindra Jadeja will be the top retention of this franchise followed by Rituraj Gaikwad and then Mathisha Pathirana. That means Jadeja will be at number one while Rituraj will be at second and Pathirana will be at number three among the players to be retained. MS Dhoni will meet N Srinivasan soon The report also claims that MS Dhoni will meet franchise owner N Srinivasan to finalize the retention for the team. It is also reported that this wicketkeeper-batsman will be kept in the uncapped category for Rs 4 crore. Recently BCCI has re-implemented this rule, under which players who have not played international cricket for 5 years can be retained in the team as uncapped players. It is now completely clear that Ravindra Jadeja will be the first retention of Chennai, followed by Rituraj Gaikwad. Mathesa Pathirana No. 3 has agreed to retention. Apart from them, Shivam Dubey, Devon Conway and uncapped player Sameer Rizvi can also be retained.

UPCA may start work for renovation of the stadium very soon Rajiv Shukla (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rajiv Shukla, Vice President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and member of Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) has announced today, Monday, September 30, that the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur will soon be renovated. For this he has talked to the concerned officials. It is noteworthy that the second match of the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played in Kanpur. But due to rain and lack of modern facilities in the stadium, play on the second and third days of the match was ended without a single over being bowled. After rain stopped play at the Green Park Stadium, there was a shortage of resources to restart the game as soon as possible. After this, BCCI got a lot of flak in the cricket world for holding test matches on the ground. But now the Apex Cricket Board is seen in action regarding the issue, and very soon cricket fans can see the renovation work at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Rajiv Shukla gave a big statement Let us tell you that on the sidelines of the ongoing second test match between India vs Bangladesh, Rajiv Shukla said – sometimes this happens. Although we all pray to Lord Indra that it does not rain, but, you know, it happens. And this happens all over the world, so why are Kanpur and Green Park being unnecessarily blamed for something which is in the hands of nature. Shukla further said- Today I had a discussion with the administration about how we should develop such a system by which rain water can be absorbed immediately. Immediately after coming here (Green Park), I discussed with the officials and they are also unanimous. I think we will soon be able to improve the conditions here. We will get some time to improve the condition of the ground and that work will be expedited. As soon as I came here, I had a long discussion with the government officials because this stadium belongs to the state government. We agree with them.
ICC CEO Geoff Allardyce has confirmed that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be held here
Geoff Allardyce has confirmed that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be hosted in Pakistan. Geoff Allardice (Image Credit- Twitter X) International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Geoff Allardice has confirmed that the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be hosted in Pakistan. He said that they are not planning to change the hosting of the upcoming tournament at all. Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be played in the months of February and March 2025. For the upcoming tournament, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also started work in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi stadiums. Construction work has started in all these three venues and the upcoming tournament can be organized here. For quite some time now, there have been reports that this tournament can be played outside Pakistan. Actually, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not want to send Team India to Pakistan. Not only this, PCB also believes that except India, all the teams participating in the tournament have already visited Pakistan. In such a situation, India has no solid reason to refuse to tour Pakistan. Champions Trophy 2025 tournament will be held in Pakistan itself A few days ago, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla had revealed that Team India’s tour of Pakistan will depend on the instructions given to them by the Indian government. The upcoming tournament will see fierce clashes between India, Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. West Indies and Sri Lanka will not be seen participating in the Champions Trophy 2025. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) takes on this. The Indian team has never toured Pakistan since 2008. It is also possible that the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament may be played in a hybrid model, although no confirmation can be made about this right now.

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.”

Due to the bad political situation in Bangladesh, the ICC has taken this big step. Women’s T20 World Cup (Image Credit- Twitter X) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Bangladesh had the hosting rights for the tournament. However, after the major political upheaval in the country, the venue of the tournament has now been changed by the biggest cricket body i.e. International Cricket Council (ICC). Also, let us tell you that the 9th season of the Women’s T20 World Cup will be played under the hosting of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Talking about the new venue, it is going to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) instead of Bangladesh. The upcoming season of the tournament will be held in the UAE from October 3 to October 20 at Dubai and Sharjah Cricket Stadium. ICC Chief Executive issued a statement On the other hand, on the shift of the multi-nation tournament from Bangladesh to UAE, ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said in a statement – It is a shame that Bangladesh is not hosting the Women’s T20 World Cup because we know that the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) would have planned a memorable event. Geoff Allardice further said- I would like to thank the BCB team for exploring all avenues to try and enable this event to be held in Bangladesh, but travel advice from the governments of several participating teams meant this was not possible. However, they (BCB) will retain the hosting rights. We look forward to taking the ICC global event to Bangladesh in the near future. On the other hand, the UAE, which is also the headquarters of the ICC, has emerged as a huge hub of cricket in recent times. Earlier, the UAE also hosted the 2021 T20 World Cup in co-hosting with Oman. So now once again with its world-class facilities and infrastructure, the UAE is well prepared to host the Women’s T20 World Cup.
