Basil Ali gave a big statement on India’s defeat Let us tell you that after the second ODI match between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo, Basit Ali said through a recent video uploaded on his YouTube channel – I think after Pakistan, India has also forgotten how to bat against spinners.

Basit further said- Keep Shivam Dubey only for T20, do not select him for ODI cricket. If he is selected, then first play him in 50 over matches in domestic cricket.

PCB is taking Test cricket lightly, former player expressed concern
Pakistan now has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh and after this the team will play a three-match Test series against England. Salman Butt. (Photo Source: YouTube) Former player Salman Butt believes that the Pakistan Cricket Board and other players are not giving as much priority to the Test format as they are giving to the other two formats. Let us tell you, Pakistan now has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh and after that the team will play a three-match Test series against England. Cricket Pakistani journalist questioned Salman Butt on the fact that the team has many spin options in the Test format who can perform well but despite that they are not being given a chance. On this, the former player has strongly criticized the other players and said that they are not playing matches regularly in domestic cricket and this is a very wrong thing. Salman Butt said, ‘Should we give priority to Test cricket? Why are we so worried about the combination all of a sudden? We just don’t want to play this format. Our players are not playing first class cricket consistently. Our cricket board is the only one in the world that is saying that we should play two T20 matches instead of one Test match.’ According to Salman Butt, present-day Pakistani players are not giving much importance to Test cricket and are more focused on white ball cricket. The former player also slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board over Babar Azam’s captaincy Salman Butt said about Babar Azam’s captaincy, ‘He is not a born leader. But the problem is what contribution have you made that has made things even easier? You included those two players in the team who criticized you fiercely on TV. After this the board changed its captain and then after two series you brought Babar Azam back to the role of captain. You yourself are dividing the team into different parts.’ Let us tell you, the performance of the Pakistan team was very poor in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and it failed to make it to the Super 8. Babar Azam’s captaincy was also criticized by many people and he also batted very poorly. 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?

Good news for all Bangladesh fans, this great fast bowler can be seen playing in the upcoming Pakistan Test series
The Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17. Taskin Ahmed. (Image Source: BCB) Bangladesh’s best fast bowler Taskin Ahmed played his last international Test match in June 2023. However, despite being available for selection in Test cricket, Taskin Ahmed was not included in the playing XI because he was finding it very difficult to bowl consistently. He was seen playing consistently in white ball cricket but he had to distance himself from Test cricket due to a shoulder injury. Now Bangladesh has to play a Test series against Pakistan in their home. Recently, the Bangladesh team practiced hard for the upcoming series and everyone’s eyes were on Taskin Ahmed’s fitness. After the first day’s session, Bangladesh Cricket Board physio Bayjedul Islam Khan has confirmed that Taskin Ahmed can recover from his injury, he just has to focus on his workout and follow the rehabilitation program. He also said that Taskin Ahmed is now better than before and he is available for selection against Pakistan. According to The Daily Star, Bayjedul Islam Khan said, ‘Taskin Ahmed has recently played the T20 format and he has not bowled long bowling spells during this period. He had a problem in his shoulder which he showed to the physio during the T20 World Cup as well. The problem is that the problem he had at that time is the same now as well and it should not be taken lightly. However, a player can play with all these injuries. If Taskin Ahmed continues his rehabilitation like this and does workouts well, then he can survive. Considering all this, Taskin Ahmed is fully available. But if we talk about bowling workload in Tests, then the bowler has to bowl long spells and for that he also needs speed. That is why he also needs to try all this and I am hopeful that he can participate in the Test series against Pakistan. Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17 Let us tell you, the Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17. A two-match Test series will be played between these two teams, which will start from August 21. The first match of this series will be played in Rawalpindi while the second will be hosted in Karachi. The best thing for Bangladesh is that the team’s experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has also made himself available for the upcoming Test series. With Shakib Al Hasan’s presence, both the team’s batting and bowling lineup will become very strong. 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?

Pakistani journalist had to pay a heavy price for messing with Harbhajan Singh, he said openly- did you understand the meaning or should I explain it…
Let’s know what Harbhajan said Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, former legendary spinner of the Indian cricket team Harbhajan Singh has given a befitting reply to a Pakistani journalist through social media, in which the journalist had tried to make fun of Bhajji on the social media platform X. It is worth noting that this time ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan. However, it is not yet clear whether India will go to Pakistan for this tournament or not? Due to security reasons, BCCI has also not made any picture clear. Also, some time ago Harbhajan Singh had said that if the Indian government feels that the Indian team may face a security threat in Pakistan, then it should not go there. Regarding this, Pakistani journalist Farid Khan tagged Harbhajan Singh on X and shared a photo in which Shahid Afridi had hit 4 consecutive sixes to Harbhajan during a test match. This is probably the reason for your fear. While replying to Farid, Harbhajan shared the photo of the terrorist attack on Sri Lankan team in 2008 and wrote – No, not for this, there are wins and losses in cricket. I will tell you the real problem. Check the photo given below. You must have understood the meaning of F.. or should I explain it. F means your name, don’t think what came to your mind. You know what I mean. See this post of Harbhajan Singh No not for this. Cricket is still my favorite. I will tell u the real problem is this. Check the photo⬇️. Now get the F…. out of here.

You know what I mean… pic.twitter.com/bqrGlro7tC — Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) August 1, 2024 Will the Indian team go to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy? It is worth noting that this time Pakistan has the hosting rights of Champions Trophy 2025. However, there is no ray of hope yet for the Indian cricket team to go to Pakistan and participate in this tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says that they can send the Indian team to Pakistan only after getting the green signal from the Indian government. At the same time, there is also a possibility that if India does not go to Pakistan, then like the Asia Cup, India can play its matches in either UAE or Sri Lanka under the hybrid model.
