KL Rahul will play as a specialist batsman in the Test series against England – claims BCCI official
KL Rahul (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian cricketer KL Rahul, after an incredible comeback in Test cricket, will be seen playing not as a wicketkeeper but as a specialist batsman in the home Test series against England. Rahul played in the two-Test series against South Africa and scored a brilliant century in Centurion. However, according to the TOI report, the team management wants to use him as a specialist batsman and not a wicketkeeper on the turning tracks at home. A BCCI source made a big revelation regarding KL Rahul A BCCI source was quoted by TOI as saying, “Rahul will play as a specialist batsman from now on. While in overseas Tests you just have to stand up to the fast bowlers, wicketkeeping is not easy in India, where the spinners can work in tandem. The ball may bounce or spin faster on spin-friendly home wickets. You have to move up and down as a ‘keeper. “We want a specialist in that role.” The source further said, “Rahul, on the other hand, is one of our most valuable batsmen. We don’t want to trouble him by making him keep wickets. There is also a risk of injury if he stands behind the stumps. Which we cannot tolerate. Bharat and Dhruv Jurel will be our wicketkeepers in this series.” There has been a lot of debate about Ishan Kishan’s availability after he asked for a break due to mental fatigue during the South Africa tour. Whereas there were many reports that the team management had thrown him out due to his poor attitude. But later coach Rahul Dravid clarified in a press conference that Ishaan has not yet made himself available for selection. Regarding this matter, the source said, “He (Ishan) has not been considered for the England series because he has not yet told the BCCI whether he can be considered for selection again or not.” Also read: This Australian star cricketer suddenly retired from cricket

Melbourne Renegades player Shaun Marsh has officially announced his retirement from professional cricket. The veteran cricketer announced to his teammates at the weekend that the upcoming match against Sydney Thunder will be his last match in the Big Bash League. Marsh’s recent performance was excellent. He first scored an unbeaten half-century, which earned him the title of Player of the Match. This brilliant performance led Melbourne Renegades to a six-wicket win against Melbourne Stars at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night. His brilliant BBL 13 journey with three half-centuries has now come to an end. Shaun Marsh took retirement from professional cricket “I have loved playing for the Renegades, I have met some special people over the last five years and the friendships I have made will last a lifetime,” Shaun Marsh was quoted as saying by the Melbourne Renegades’ official website. The players playing in this group are very special and they have been very good to me and are very good teammates and friends as well.” He further said that, our members and fans became very emotional and I am very grateful for their support during this time. Let us tell you that in the current season of Big Bash League, Marsh has scored 181 runs in five matches. Along with this, he has scored 3 half-centuries at an average of 45.25. Marsh scored the most runs in the first season of IPL and became the Orange Cap winner. Talking about Marsh’s statistics in the Big Bash League, he is at sixth place in terms of scoring runs. He has scored 2810 runs at an impressive average of 40.72, which includes 27 fifties. If we look at Marsh’s international career, he has also been effective. He has scored 2773 runs in 73 ODI matches. During this period he has scored 7 centuries and 15 half-centuries. His best ODI score has been 151 runs. He also played 38 test matches.

Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma from now on – Aakash Chopra
Meanwhile, analyzing his return to T20I cricket, former cricketer Aakash Chopra said that Kohli should partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He believes that Virat has a great template and it takes some time for him to settle down. In such a situation, he advised that if Kohli bats in the powerplay, he will get a good opportunity to make a fast start, which will benefit the team. Virat Kohli should follow his set template- Aakash Chopra In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, if you look at the entire World Cup, Virat Kohli has a style of playing and when he follows that template he scores a lot of runs. Even in T20, he rarely starts hitting fours and sixes from the first ball. He takes his time. If he has to score runs at a strike rate of 150, he does so in the powerplay. The 46-year-old former cricketer further said, “In New York or West Indies, the pitches will be such that there will be more chances of scoring runs in the first six overs. So ideally you want Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be together from the start. If you have to follow that template, start doing it now.” Chopra spoke openly about the complexity of the Indian batting unit at this time. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the side, it is unclear which path the team management will take. If Virat is asked to bat at number three and either Jaiswal or Gill opens, it will force Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number four.

Australia intensifies preparations for Women’s T20 World Cup, makes full plan for Bangladesh tour
Australia will play three ODIs and the same number of T20 matches on its Bangladesh tour. Australia Women’s Team (Photo Source: Getty Images) The defending champion Australia women’s team has intensified its T20 World Cup preparations with the upcoming Bangladesh tour. The pitch in Bangladesh will help the spinners and the ball also remains lower than expected. In such a situation, there will be difficulties for the Australian team. According to FTP, Australia will play three ODIs and as many T20 matches on its Bangladesh tour. Apart from this, the team led by Alyssa Healy will also play series in all three formats in South Africa. Regarding the tour, national selector Shawn Flagler said that our aim is to understand the wickets of Bangladesh, where the tournament will be held. He said that some matches will be played on the grounds where World Cup matches are to be held. The team will benefit from this. Sophie Molyneux ready to make a comeback All-rounder Sophie Molineux is set to make a comeback after being sidelined through injury in 2023. She will captain the Governor General’s XI against South Africa. This will help her and she can join Australian schemes. Speaking about it, Pfleger said that cricketers are highly regarded in the Australian setup and it is a privilege to have so many spinners in the team. He said he has been given a high status in the Australian setup for a long time. It is quite clear that the left-arm orthodox spinner is playing international cricket very well. “We have been blessed with the amount of spin options we have,” Pfleger added. Our last seven World Cup campaigns have featured a left-arm spinner in either Jess Jonassen or Soph. So I’m sure we’ll keep it going. There is going to be a tough fight in the upcoming few series. But it’s really fortunate that we have those options available to us. read this also- Cricket Buzz: Know about the amazing tweet of January 13 which is going viral very fast
