Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt is confident that the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be a huge success as it will be hosted in Pakistan. Champions Trophy (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistani cricketer Salman Butt is confident that the upcoming 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be a huge success as it will be hosted in Pakistan. This is because cricket enjoys immense popularity in Pakistan. He further said that the tournament will be even bigger than the recently concluded 2024 T20 World Cup, which was hosted by the West Indies and the United States of America (USA). The former Pakistan captain says that the US was chosen as the host for the 2024 T20 World Cup, but cricket was not popular there. Due to which the tournament could not be organized with much fanfare and was not much discussed. Butt explained in his YouTube video how things will be very different if the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is held on Pakistani soil- Salman Butt gave this statement on hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 “This event (ICC Champions Trophy 2025e) by Pakistan cannot be compared to the USA or any other country. It will definitely be a more successful event than the T20 World Cup. The pitches were not that good there, the stadiums were far away and the hotels were elsewhere. The locals did not know what was happening in their cities, only the foreigners living there knew about cricket.” It is worth noting that the ICC reportedly suffered huge financial losses by organizing the 2024 T20 World Cup in the US. New news agency PTIAccording to (via NDTV), the ICC had suffered a loss of around $20 million (approximately ₹167 crores). Salman Butt on the craze for cricket in Asia Explaining his point, Salman Butt highlighted that ICC events in Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are guaranteed to be a success due to the craze among fans. Butt said that although the teams had to travel a lot during the 2024 T20 World Cup, they will get presidential security in Pakistan, which will reduce their travel time considerably. “The love and respect that the players will get will be completely different when the tournament is played in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. Also, the teams will not have to travel for hours. Everything will be sealed and it will take just six minutes for the team to reach the stadium. This is presidential security, a feeling that can never be had in America.”

IND vs SL: Harbhajan Singh got angry on not selecting these 3 players!, said- it is difficult to understand that…
The Indian team has to play a limited overs series against Sri Lanka from July 27 Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian team has to play a limited overs series against Sri Lanka from July 27. Team India has also been announced for this. Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy of the T20I team, while Rohit Sharma will lead the ODI series. Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh has questioned the decision of the Indian selectors to exclude Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma from their respective formats for the Sri Lanka tour. Sanju Samson scored a brilliant century in his last ODI match against South Africa in December 2023. Despite this, he was not selected in the ODI team. At the same time, Abhishek Sharma made his T20I debut against Zimbabwe and scored a century in the second match itself. However, now he has been dropped from the T20I team. Many people found the decision to exclude Yuzvendra Chahal surprising. Because the experienced spinner was a part of India’s T20 World Cup winning team last month. But he could not play any match in the tournament. And now he has been shown the way out of the team. Harbhajan Singh’s strong reaction Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has reacted strongly to this. He posted after the team selection and wrote, it is difficult to understand why Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma are not part of the Indian team for Sri Lanka. It’s hard to understand why @yuzi_chahal @IamAbhiSharma4 @IamSanjuSamson are not part of the Indian Team for Sri Lanka 🙄 — Harbhajan Turbanator (@harbhajan_singh) July 19, 2024 Let us tell you that Rahul Dravid’s tenure ended with the T20 World Cup and Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the new head coach of the Indian team in his place. He will take charge from the Sri Lanka tour. The first T20I on the tour will be played on Saturday, 27 July at Pallekele. The second and third T20Is will be held at the same venue on 28 and 30 July. The ODI series will be held after the T20 series, the matches of which will be played on 2, 4 and 7 August respectively.
There was a lot of debate in the selection meeting! There was a lot of drama before Surya was made the captain, players were called
Rohit and Virat have returned to the team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Jay Shah and Hardik Pandya. (Image Source: BCCI/X) BCCI recently announced the squad of Team India for the Sri Lanka tour starting from 27th July. Three ODIs and three T20 series will be played between the two teams on this tour. The selectors took a lot of time to announce this series. It is believed that there was a lot of debate between Gautam Gambhir, who recently became the head coach of Team India, and the selectors and only then the team was announced for this tour. This selection meeting of Team India lasted for several hours over two days. If reports are to be believed, there were differences of opinion as well as heated debates in the meeting. During the meeting itself, many players were called and discussions were held with them about long term planning. It is being said that, Surya being selected as the vice-captain before Hardik in captaincy and Gill being selected as the vice-captain before Rahul in ODIs is a very important step taken for the future of Indian cricket. The Indian Express report claims that this selection meeting was different from all other meetings as it was full of heated debates and disagreements. Phone calls were made to the players and the long term planning of the team management was explained to them. Players showed more trust in Suryakumar Yadav than Hardik Pandya According to the Indian Express report, there was also a view in the team selection meeting that not making the current vice-captain of the T20 team, i.e. Hardik Pandya, the captain would be unfair to him. Especially when he has performed amazingly during the World Cup. An Indian Express report claims that due to the trust of the players, the scales tilted in favor of Suryakumar Yadav. The report states that the ‘feedback’ received by the BCCI was that the players ‘trusted Yadav more than Pandya’ and were comfortable working under him. Surya’s man management is said to have impressed the selectors. When Ishan Kishan was about to leave the Indian camp midway through the South Africa tour last year, Yadav tried to convince him to stay back.
The fortunes of these two players may shine as soon as Gautam Gambhir becomes the head coach, he played his last T20I in 2019
Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: India will have a new team for the white-ball series against Sri Lanka under head coach Gautam Gambhir, who replaced Rahul Dravid. Dravid’s tenure as head coach ends with the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Meanwhile Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj said the two-time World Cup winner can get the best out of cricketers. He is confident that India will reach new heights under Gambhir’s leadership. Welcoming Gambhir’s appointment as the new head coach of the Indian team, Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj said that the former Indian opener has the ability to bring out the best in players. Bhardwaj is confident that Gambhir can take India to the top. Bhardwaj also revealed that Gambhir had predicted the rapid rise of Indian captain Rohit. Gautam Gambhir can give chance to Navdeep Saini Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Bhardwaj said that he feels Gambhir can consider spinner Kuldeep Yadav and fast bowler Navdeep Saini for selection in his first coaching tenure. Bhardwaj said, “He can choose players like Kuldeep Yadav and Navdeep Saini (in the Indian squad). They are his products. He also placed his bet on West Indies all-rounder Sunil Narine (during IPL 2024). His observation and cricket skills have always been brilliant.” He further said, “With his batting, he won two World Cups for India in 2007 and 2011. As a player, you helped India win two World Cups and then led KKR to three IPL titles. You have a habit of accepting challenges and conquering them.” Navdeep Saini played his last international match in the year 2019. Kuldeep was part of the Indian squad in the T20 World Cup played in America and West Indies. He also played many matches. Kuldeep took 10 wickets in 5 matches in this tournament. Fast bowler Navdeep Saini last played for India in 2021 against Sri Lanka at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
