Sunil Gavaskar got angry again on this decision taken during the Australia tour, said- “Are you going to play or rest…”
Later this year, Team India will play a five-Test long series under the Border Gavaskar Trophy on Australian soil. Sunil Gavaskar Jay Shah (Source X) Team India’s adventure in the Test format will begin in another month. India will play two Tests against Bangladesh from September 19 and three Tests against New Zealand from October 16 on home ground. After this, Team India will play a long series of five Test matches under the Border Gavaskar Trophy on Australian soil later this year. After winning the last two Border-Gavaskar series on Kangaroo land, India is entering the ring as a strong contender this time too. It is known that Team India has been winning this trophy continuously since 2016. India has hosted the trophy in 2016/17, 2022/23, Australia in 2018/19, 2020/21. But for the first time since 1992, India will play a five-Test series against Australia. At the same time, the practice match on the Australia tour was reduced to two days. Sunil Gavaskar is upset with BCCI India’s legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has objected to this. He said that he is disappointed to hear the news that the warm-up match against Australia’s Prime Minister’s playing 11 before the series has been reduced to two days. He said that due to this the young players will miss out on important training. On the other hand, this will also create a situation where senior players will not go for practice. But he believes that young players will get more experience from first-class cricket than a two-day practice match. Gavaskar said that the main purpose of the Australia tour is to play cricket and not to relax. Gavaskar also suggested that the BCCI should take steps to extend the practice match to three days and give a chance to young players. “Australia is thirsty for revenge. If India has to score a hat-trick of series wins on Kangaroo soil, then it will have to be cautious. But there is still time to make the warm-up match three days long. Young players should be given a chance in this practice. This will help the young players to defeat the world test champion Australia.”
“I play 2 matches at the same time…” Why does Naseem Shah make his father switch off the TV before a big match, you won’t believe it
Naseem Shah spoke about how the sport had an adverse effect on his father Abbas’s health.

Naseem Shah has gained immense popularity and a lot of praise during his five-year international career. Naseem is the youngest fast bowler to take a Test five-wicket haul and a hat-trick against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at the age of just 16. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued his fledgling career and he also missed the 2023 ODI World Cup. Naseem Shah does not allow his father to play matches Naseem, in a recent interview, opened up about the family aspect of his career and how the sport has taken a toll on his father Abbas’s health. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Naseem said, “My father is going through some health issues. There was a time when he didn’t know anything about cricket, but now he watches every ball and gets sad when we lose. So, before every big match, I call my brothers to make sure that our father doesn’t watch the match. I fear this might lead to some major health issues. It’s like I am playing two matches simultaneously.” Naseem further said, “There is a lot going on behind the scenes in the lives of cricketers that people are not aware of. Sometimes you just look for small moments of happiness.” How is the reaction of the family when they lose the match to India? Naseem said, “People come up to me in restaurants and ask why we lost. Even my relatives have asked me about this. I understand that their emotions are fueled by social media and as a player, all I can do is listen to them.” Naseem will take the field in the first match of the two-Test series against Bangladesh on August 21 in Rawalpindi.
