In this post, Ashwin said – This only Test will be fun to watch. We know that Afghanistan produces amazing talent, but the solidity and stability they need will be their batting department. They have class in the form of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, but there is no one else to follow. That’s why I’m excited to see what youngsters Riaz Hassan and Bahir Shah have to offer. They are both promising and have averages over 55 in first class. Signs of a strong future for India were seen in the 2000s when Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif came up from the Under 19s to the team. That’s why these 2 players could give Afghanistan a peak at what it can achieve over the next decade. See this post of Ashwin This one off Test will be fun to watch. We know Afghanistan produce insane talent but the one area of solidity and stability they need is from their batting department. They have Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat shah oozing class but not much else to follow, and that is why I am… pic.twitter.com/e6REqHdMsI — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) September 7, 2024 Afghanistan squad for the one-off Test against New Zealand Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hasan, Abdul Malik, Rahmat Shah, Baheer Shah Mehboob, Ikram Ali Khil (wicketkeeper), Shahidullah Kamal, Afsar Zazai (wicketkeeper), Azmatullah Omarzai, Zia ur Rehman Akbar, Shams ur Rehman, Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan, Nijat Masood, Khalil Ahmed.

But make sure your preparation is consistent,” Ponting said on the ICC’s digital daily show. “They are undefeated so far, so they don’t need to make any changes or put in extra effort. They just need to give their best. If they do that, they will be hard to beat,” he said.

IPL 2024: Pat Cummins got the basic mantra of victory, told the ‘way’ to win IPL
Currently, SRH is running at fourth place in the points table of IPL 2024. Pat Cummins (Photo Source: Under the captaincy of Pat Cummins, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is performing amazingly in IPL 2024. After finishing last in the points table last year, the team made a major change in its leadership and appointed Cummins as the new captain. On the other hand, under the captaincy of Cummins, the team seems to be playing in a different style. The team’s batting is amazing. So in the ongoing season, Hyderabad has played a total of 9 matches in which it has won five, while it has also faced defeat in four matches. On the other hand, after Hyderabad’s defeat in the match against Chennai Super Kings yesterday on 28th April, Pat Cummins has found the key to victory. Cummins says that T20 cricket today has become a game dominated by batsmen. If they had some more aggressive batsmen they could have won the tournament. Pat Cummins gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the match between Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chepauk, Pat Cummins quoted News 18 as saying – T20 cricket today is in favor of batting. This season has now gone to a different level. The way we have prepared before the tournament started, if we had some more aggressive batsmen, it would have been a way for us to win the tournament. We don’t have many bowling options, and this is not Test cricket where the ball rotates. There is not much spin to be seen on the wicket. Cummins further said- Sometimes the easy way to take wickets is to just defend yourself. Batsmen are getting much better at hitting the ball. This is the biggest challenge for you as a bowler. But when you have a big score like 270-280 then you can make an impact as a bowler. You can win such matches.
