Will see. You get to come and watch your team play and win on a pitch that offers something new. Nasir Hussain further said, This cannot be good for the future of cricket in Pakistan, to keep playing on the same surface. But they need to take a look at their surfaces, and if they find a winning formula – stick to it. Stay with this team, stay with these two spinners, stay with the batting lineup, stay with the selectors and the captain. Have some kind of continuity.

EXCLUSIVE: Pragyan Ojha Interview with CricTracker: How long will Dhoni play in IPL, who will be India’s next all format captain and how to find another off-spinner like Ravichandran Ashwin? Pragyan Ojha answered all these questions

Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview with Crictracker (Source Former Team India cricketer Pragyan Ojha is currently playing for the Manipal Tigers team under the captaincy of Harbhajan Singh in the ongoing season of LLC 2024. Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X) Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled against the pacers in the nets on Sunday, September 15, ahead of the start of India’s first Test against Bangladesh. The Test match will be played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal struggling in the nets, former captain Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir had a word with the youngster to help him regain his confidence.

In the Duleep Trophy match, he returned to the pavilion cheaply on the balls of Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. Before the match against Bangladesh in Chennai, Jaiswal practiced a lot against Bumrah. However, he looked troubled against net bowlers like Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar and Gurjanpreet Singh along with Bumrah. The ball took the outside edge of his bat many times. Yashasvi Jaiswal got bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the nets According to a report in the Indian Express, Kohli was standing near the centre-square of the MA Chidambaram Stadium waiting for his turn to bat, where this incident took place. During this time, Jasprit Bumrah bowled Jaiswal by uprooting his middle stump in the nets. The ball hit the stump between Jaiswal’s bat and pad. After this, Jaiswal was seen talking to Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli was probably telling this young player about his shortcomings. Kohli and Jaiswal batted for about an hour in the net session. During this, Bumrah also troubled Kohli. Kohli, however, played some brilliant cover and on drives. Jaiswal looked comfortable against spin bowlers. Still, during the practice session, Jaiswal’s confidence seemed to be shaken and he was not able to adjust to the swing and bounce. However, he used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came for practice, did not hesitate to play aggressive shots while batting against left-arm spinners. Indian players also did fielding practice during this time, in which priority was given to the practice of catching catches in the slips.
