DTVHINDIThis South African cricketer wants to get a UK passport, but has no intention of playing for England
David has played four Test matches for South Africa David Bedingham (Image Credit- Twitter South African cricketer David Bedingham is looking for a UK passport, but he does not seem to have any intention of playing for England at the moment. It is worth noting that David has played four Test matches for the African team. Apart from this, he was recently seen playing for the Durham team in Division Two of the County Championship. While playing in the tournament, David scored a total of 926 runs in 14 matches at an impressive average of 71.23. But even after this performance, he could not make media headlines because a player like Ben Stokes was present in the team. David Bedingham gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Cricbuzz, David said- My plan was always to get a UK passport. Right now I am trying to do this and if that happens, I will play as a local player. David further said- It may be possible for me in two years’ time. It would be foolish for me to think about playing for a country for which I am not eligible. If I had been playing only in England for six or seven years and had not gone back to South Africa, there was a possibility of being eligible to play for England. But now it is not so, and I am clear about playing for South Africa. On the other hand, now David will be seen playing for the South African team in the two-match Test series against the West Indies starting from August 7. After Dean Elgar’s retirement from the game, David can prove to be an important player for the Proteas team in Test cricket. It will be worth seeing how David is going to perform in Test cricket against the Caribbean team?

“In my opinion…”, Eoin Morgan suggested the names of these four legends as England’s white ball coach
According to Eoin Morgan, former Indian player Rahul Dravid should be given the responsibility of the new head coach of England’s limited overs cricket. Eoin Morgan. (Image Source: Getty Images) In the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the England team could not secure its place in the final of this important tournament and after this the England and Wales Cricket Board removed limited overs cricket head coach Matthew Mott from his post. Marcus Trescothick has been appointed Interim Coach by the ECB but now he will have to hand over the responsibility of the head coach as soon as possible to someone who can improve the performance of the England team and at the same time he will also have his eyes on the upcoming Champions Trophy. For quite some time now, there have been reports that former all-rounder Andrew Flintoff could be appointed as the head coach of England’s limited overs cricket, although no confirmation has been made by the English board about this yet. Recently, Eoin Morgan has named four former players who can play this important role in the coming times. According to Eoin Morgan, former Indian player Rahul Dravid should be given the responsibility of the new head coach of England’s limited overs cricket. Let us tell you, under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. Apart from Rahul Dravid, the former English captain has added three more names to the list. Eoin Morgan told Sky Sports, ‘You have to understand that this is the England cricket team. It is one of the most resourced cricket teams. Now it is up to Rob Key to make this role great. You have to go to the best coach in the world and he has to understand that playing this role is very important for both of us.’ Eoin Morgan named these former players Eoin Morgan further said, ‘Right now, I have Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Brendon McCullum and Stephen Fleming in my eyes. I would like to name Brendon McCullum because I believe that he is one of the best coaches in the world.’ For quite some time now, there have been reports that Jos Buttler may be removed from the captaincy of the England limited overs team. However, no confirmation has been made by the English board regarding this yet.

Matthew Mott leaves the role of head coach of England cricket team in limited overs format, read big news
In the year 2022, Mott was appointed to the England cricket team. Matthew Mott (Image Credit- Twitter X) England cricket team’s limited format head coach Matthew Mott has resigned from his role today on 30 July. It is worth noting that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was not happy with the performance of the England team and Matthew Mott in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024. Also, some media reports at the beginning of last week claimed that Mott could resign from his role at the beginning of the coming week. At the same time, the name of former legendary all-rounder Andrew Flintoff seems to be at the forefront in the race to become the new white ball cricket coach of the English team. It is worth noting that in the year 2022, the ECB had decided that a separate coach would be arranged for the team in Test cricket and a separate coach in ODI and T20 formats. Due to this decision of the board, Matthew Mott was given the responsibility of coaching the limited overs format, while Brendon McCullum was given this responsibility in Test cricket. So in the year 2022, the England cricket team has won the T20 World Cup under the coaching of Mott. However, the ECB was very unhappy with Mott’s performance in the Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India last year and the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 held in West Indies and USA. Matthew Mott issued a statement So, regarding his role, Matthew Mott said through a press release issued by the ECB – I am extremely proud to coach the England men’s team. It is an honor. We have put everything into trying to achieve success over the last two years, and I am incredibly proud of the character and passion the team has shown during that period, including the spectacular victory of the T20 World Cup in 2022.
Not Andrew Flintoff, this 46-year-old Sri Lankan player will become the head coach of the England team
Despite failing to reach the finals in both the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup, the English board is keen to retain Jos Buttler as captain. However, they are now showing interest in changing their coaching staff. In such a situation, if Sangakkara becomes the coach, he will get to work with Jos Buttler, which can prove to be effective for England. Both are associated with the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the IPL. Under his guidance, the English captain has emerged as a key player for the Royals. Both players can do something similar for England as well. However, Kumar Sangakkara is not the only player in the race to become England’s head coach. Former Australian batsman Michael Hussey and current Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott are also contenders to become the head coach of England’s white ball team. Interestingly, former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is reportedly unlikely to be considered for the head coach position despite speculation over his future involvement with the team. The ECB’s decision comes at a crucial juncture for English cricket. While England’s Test team has found success under the coaching of Brendon McCullum, the white-ball team needs a new approach to regain its dominant position in the limited-overs format.
After the defeat in the Test series against England, the West Indies coach gave a big reaction
West Indies faced a clean sweep in the three-match Test series against England England vs West Indies (Image Credit- Twitter X) West Indies faced a clean sweep in the three-match Test series against England. After losing the first two Test matches, they also lost the third Test match being played at Edgbaston on Sunday. However, despite this, coach Andre Kohli is very positive and said that there were many positive things to learn from this tour. Kohli said about the series against England, with an emerging team, a lot would have been said about its walkover. Obviously we should have performed better, but we showed a lot of fight during the series. From a batting point of view, I was quite happy with our scoring rate, pace, especially in the second Test. You don’t get great performances every day – Andre Collie He further said that, as far as the bowlers are concerned, the English conditions have greatly influenced the young attack in terms of correcting their line-length and handling crowd pressure. These were the important positives that we have learned from this series, as we now move on to the series with South Africa. Andre Collie said, “You’re not going to have great performances every day. But one thing you can really have some control over is going through your processes every day and giving yourself the best chance to perform.” The first test against South Africa will begin on August 7. Now the West Indies team will play a two-Test match series against South Africa from next week. In the meantime, the team has only a few days off left. The first Test against South Africa will be played in Port of Spain on 7 August and the second Test will be played in Guyana from 15-19 August. Let us tell you that the West Indies team has won only two of the last 11 Test matches. And after losing the two-match Test series to India, the Caribbean team is going to play on home ground for the first time in more than a year.
