IND vs SL: Morne Morkel will not go on Sri Lanka tour with Team India, this former player will be the interim bowling coach

India’s Sri Lanka tour will start from 27 July Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team is going to tour Sri Lanka very soon. Team India will be seen playing a three-match T20 and a three-match ODI series on this tour. India’s tour will begin with the T20 series starting from July 27. However, before the start of this tour of India, a big news has come out for the Men in Blue. According to media reports of Cricbuzz, Morne Morkel will not be able to go with Team India on this tour. So for this, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made a temporary arrangement and appointed Sairaj Bahutule, associated with the National Cricket Academy (NCA), as the interim coach of the team for this tour. It is worth noting that the formalities for Morkel to become the new bowler of the Indian cricket team are almost complete, but his appointment has not been done yet. Due to this, he will not be able to go on the Sri Lanka tour with Team India. However, there is every possibility of him joining the Indian cricket team before the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in September. So, if we tell you the reason for Morkel not being able to join the team at this time, then he will not be able to join the Indian cricket team for the Sri Lanka tour due to personal reasons. Bahutule will be part of the coaching staff led by Gautam Gambhir, and it is likely that either Abhishek Nair or Ryan ten Doeschate will be seen as assistant coaches on the tour.

However, long before I joined the Indian team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni bhai retired from international cricket. Even in the IPL, I did not start with Chennai Super Kings, but when I came into the team, I felt very happy. This was a big thing for me because I have been a big fan of his. Now I talk to him but in the beginning I was very scared of him and could not talk to him. He himself is such a big player and if Dhoni bhai is praising a player then it is really a big thing for everyone. If Dhoni bhai is praising a player then his confidence reaches the sky. He told me about small things due to which I saw a lot of change in my game.

“It is good that he retired…” Who is Yogesh Patel who gave this statement about Rohit Sharma?

Rohit Sharma has joined MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Kapil Dev as one of the few Indian captains to win an ICC trophy. (Source X) Rohit Sharma couldn’t have ended his T20 career better than this. At the age of 37, Rohit gave himself two chances to win the ICC trophy last year, but he finished second both times. India finished runners-up in the ODI World Cup and the ICC World Test Championship. He could have ended his career without an ICC trophy. However, luck favoured him and Rohit led India to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup and ended his trophy drought. In many knockout matches in the last 11 years, the team was knocked out of the knockout stage under extreme pressure, but this time Team India crossed the finish line. Rohit has become one of the Indian captains to win the ICC trophy along with MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly and Kapil Dev. Who is Yogesh Patel? 25 years ago, Rohit took admission in Swami Vivekananda International School. The school’s director Yogesh Patel gave Rohit a freeship so that he could study in his school. Patel has given some statements in an exclusive interview to India Today. A memorable ending for Rohit Sharma Needless to say, Rohit was nearing the end of his career. But his decision to retire from T20 came as a surprise to many. He had scored 257 runs in eight innings at an average of 36.71. His 92-run innings against Australia was specialespecially when he hit fours off Mitchell Starc. According to Patel, Rohit made the right decision to say goodbye to his T20 career. He said that instead of retiring under pressure due to other reasons, he made the right decision to retire in a grand manner. ‘Rohit knows what he has to do’ – Patel “It was a surprise and shock for us and the whole country because everyone wanted to see Rohit as captain; if not captain, then as a player. But when he announced his retirement, I felt it was a good decision because he was at the top. He is very smart, and he is also mature and talented. So, he knows what he has to do.” Will return in ODI format After winning the T20 World Cup, Rohit will be back to play for India in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in July. If Rohit is to win another ICC trophy, he will have to wait for about 12 more months, provided India reach the WTC final. The ODI World Cup seems a bit far-fetched as Rohit will be past 40 by then. But regardless of the results, Rohit will go down as one of India’s greatest captains.

We can play Champions Trophy even without India: Hasan Ali gave a shocking statement

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will begin from February 19 in Karachi and the final match will be played on March 9 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Virat Kohli and Hasan Ali. (Photo Source: Getty Images) The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in the month of February. This important tournament will be held in Pakistan. A total of 8 teams will clash in this great tournament. Let us tell you, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will start from February 19 in Karachi and its final match will be played on March 9 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. A total of three venues have been shortlisted for this tournament. However, it is also expected that this competition will be hosted in a country other than Pakistan. This is because India will not tour Pakistan to play in the Champions Trophy 2025. So far, no statement has come from the Board of Control for Cricket in India regarding this, but there may be a change in the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025. In this, Sri Lanka or UAE can be included in the backup venue. Pakistan’s veteran fast bowler Hasan Ali has put forth his view on this. According to Hasan Ali, if India does not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025, then this event should be organized without them. Hasan Ali said on Sama TV, ‘If we are going to India and playing, then they should also come to Pakistan. Many people have said this many times that sports should not be linked to politics. But if you look at it from a different perspective, many Indian players have said in interviews that they also want to play in Pakistan. This does not mean that the team does not want to come there. All the players want this but politics, country and board are not allowing this to happen.’ If India doesn’t want to come then we should play the Champions Trophy without them: Hasan Ali Hasan Ali further said, ‘Like our Pakistan Cricket Board president has said that if the Champions Trophy is to be held in Pakistan, it will be held here only. Apart from Pakistan, no other country should host this tournament. If India does not want to come, then we will have to play without them. Cricket should be played in Pakistan only and if India does not want to participate here, it does not mean that cricket is completely over. There are other teams apart from India.’ Let us tell you, India last visited Pakistan in 2008. Asia Cup 2023 was to be held in Pakistan but India refused to travel here. However, after this the tournament was played under the hybrid model. India played all its matches in Sri Lanka and won the tournament. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in…

There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025: Khalid Mahmood

Khalid Mahmood said that if this happens then Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan Cricket Board chief Khalid Mahmood believes that India will hardly send its team to his country Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Let us tell you, for some time now, India has completely refused to tour Pakistan due to political reasons. Khalid Mahmood believes that the ICC will definitely listen to the Board of Control for Cricket in India and other Asian teams like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025 if India refuses to come here. He said that if this happens, the Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. According to Cricket Pakistan, Khalid Mahmood said, “There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan. India is the richest cricket board. If they do not send their team to Pakistan, then I do not think Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also tour here.” Khalid Mahmood gave important advice to Pakistan Cricket Board Khalid Mahmood further said, ‘At this stage, the only thing you can do is to bring the rest of the boards to your side. The ICC will not ignore India’s demands and if this happens, it will not be right for Pakistan to make tit-for-tat plans. If India says that it will play matches outside Pakistan, then ICC events will not be hosted in their country. Due to this, the Pakistan Cricket Board may also have to face a lot of problems.’ For a long time, it has been seen that India has not participated in any of the matches of ICC events held in Pakistan and has appealed for another venue for its matches. So far it can be said that all the matches of Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan only, but India has also agreed to the fact that they will not go to Pakistan to play the matches of Champions Trophy. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

‘He is a very good leader’, Dinesh Karthik’s big statement on Gautam Gambhir’s appointment in Team India

Both the players have played cricket together for a long time.

After Gambhir’s appointment, there was a lot of rhetoric in the cricket world. Many fans and former cricketers considered Gambhir’s appointment right, while some considered it wrong. On the other hand, now former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has made a big statement on Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India.

Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement Let us tell you that on Gautam Gambhir becoming the new coach of the Indian cricket team, Dinesh Karthik said as per Cricbuzz- He is a very good leader and I think he will bring two things to the Indian team. One thing is that he is a complete man of his players. He backs his players, and that is important in international cricket because when performances don’t go your way you can feel lonely and demotivated, but Gambhir won’t let that happen. Karthik further said- Secondly, he will bring a smart mind to this Indian team. He is a very sharp and fiery person. He always loved to play for the team and did whatever it took to win a game of cricket. So Gambhir’s journey as head coach with Team India is going to start with India’s tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour, the Indian team will be seen playing a three-match T20 and a three-match ODI series. India’s tour will start from July 27.
