Rashid Latif (photo source: twitter) Due to India’s bad political relations against Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has refused to go to Pakistan and play in the Champions Trophy 2025. However, it is not yet clear whether India is participating in the tournament or not? On the other hand, there is a possibility that India, the runners-up of the 2017 season, may play their Champions Trophy matches in some other country under the hybrid model. So amidst these discussions, a big statement of former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif has come out. Latif says that the world of cricket depends on the India-Pakistan (India vs Pakistan) match and irrespective of the venue, both the countries will definitely play against each other. Rashid Latif gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the Champions Trophy, Latif was quoted as saying by Cricblog – As far as the new scenario is concerned, the political environment keeps on being created. Look, both the teams will definitely play, I don’t know where, but both the teams will definitely play against each other. There are a lot of things at stake. Broadcasters have a lot at stake. 3 billion are at stake. So, there is no way they would say that it is not good for India and Pakistan to play against each other. Latif further said- I think Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will also somehow agree and come to a conclusion about where to play and what to do. This is because the world of cricket depends on it. The world of cricket depends on India-Pakistan match. According to my opinion it is going to happen, but I don’t know when, but PCB, ICC and BCCI will definitely plan something. Some people may fool the fans, but they will definitely play.

Before Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Sanjay Manjrekar gave a big statement about Virat Kohli.
The first match of the five-Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Sanjay Manjrekar and Virat Kohli Ever since Indian batsman Virat Kohli reached Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, he has been in the news in Australian newspapers. Kohli even appeared in advertisements on the front pages of Australian newspapers. However, amidst all this, it is worth noting that Virat Kohli is struggling in red ball cricket. The line outside off-stump has troubled the 36-year-old in the last few seasons. In such a situation, they will have to improve before the Test series starting from 22nd November. Meanwhile, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Kohli knows very well what plan the Australian bowlers can make against him. I hope Virat will practice accordingly. Australians will try all those methods – Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar said on Star Sports, Virat knows what is going to be planned? They will definitely start from the off stump line and see what the mood is? These days he is leaving the balls outside the off stump and will try to drive if the pitch is straight. He also said that, these days, he is trying to attack the body because he likes to play forward. So this is something that New Zealand has tried, which is very smart. And then if he is so focused outside off, there is a particular style of bowling the ball on middle stump, which Josh Hazlewood will try. So Australians will try all those methods and Virat Kohli knows about it. The first match of the five-Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first Test, so vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will take charge of the team.

Team India is touring Australia after a 3-0 defeat in the last Test series against New Zealand.

Meanwhile, the former Australian player has warned Team India before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Haddin says that Indian batsmen will not be able to face Australia’s fast bowlers, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brad Haddin said this about Yashvi Jaiswal Brad Haddin says that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a good player, but he has not toured Australia before so things will be difficult for him. Let us tell you, Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. He has scored 1407 runs for India in 26 innings, which includes two double centuries. According to Times of India, Brad Haddin while speaking on LisTNR Sport Podcast said, I don’t think Indian batsmen will be able to face our fast bowlers. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn’t toured Australia before, so I’m not sure whether he can handle the bounce or not. Opening in Perth is a tough job. India has won the last two Test series in Australia 2-1. The team would like to repeat history this time too, because the team can reach the final of the World Test Championship only by winning four of the upcoming five-match Test series. On the other hand, Australia is keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15.

We will definitely continue our brand of cricket- Aiden Markram Speaking after the match, Aiden Markram said, I think we bowled really well, made some really good plans and our bowlers did really well. From a batting perspective, you want to chase the target at the mid-way stage, but it didn’t work out today. Sometimes when you lose wickets continuously, it doesn’t feel good. We have to accept it, we will definitely continue our brand of cricket. They (Stubbs and Coetzee) are coming in after the break, it’s good to see their enthusiasm. Obviously, the role that (Andile) Simelane and (Nkabayomzi) Peter played with the ball was really big. For the younger players, he inspired the older players. We need to focus on one game at a time. We have leveled the series by winning this game and we are happy.

The host is the culprit behind India’s Champion Trophy 2025 tour to Pakistan, former player gives shocking statement
The former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Team India will not tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 and this decision has been taken by the Indian government. According to Aakash Chopra, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has no role in this. Not only this, the former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Let us tell you that Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in February next year. According to the report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made it clear to the International Cricket Council that they will not tour Pakistan to participate in the upcoming event. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It has been decided that Team India will not go to Pakistan for the upcoming tournament and this is not the decision of BCCI. I want to make it clear that when it comes to Pakistan, the Indian cricket team does not decide when and where to go. It is fine for other places. However, when it comes to Pakistan, all decisions are taken by the Indian government, not the BCCI. Pakistan itself is to blame for this: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘The Indian government has decided that he will not go there. In a way, Pakistan itself is responsible for this. Just yesterday I was watching a news that there was a bomb blast in Quetta railway station. Whenever we talk about India, Pakistan comes into it, especially when the issue of Kashmir is concerned. Pakistan has completely refused the hybrid model of Championship 2025. They want that this entire tournament should be organized in Pakistan only and India does not want to tour there for this event.

“He has become a prisoner of his own reputation” – Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement about Abhishek Sharma
Aakash Chopra and Abhishek Sharma. (Photo Sourced: After India’s win in the first T20I against South Africa on Friday, former India opener Aakash Chopra has made a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma. In the first T20 match played between India and South Africa, once again Abhishek Sharma’s bat did not work and he was out after scoring 7 runs in 8 balls. Abhishek was caught by Gerald Coetzee by captain Aiden Markram in the fourth over. The 24-year-old all-rounder has so far scored only 166 runs in 9 T20 International matches at an average of 20.75. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a surprising claim on Abhishek’s continuous flops. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Abhishek Sharma Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube on Saturday, “This is the story of two openers. On one side there is Sanju Samson, whose star is shining. On the other side is Abhishek Sharma, whose stars are in the ascendant. When Abhishek scored a century against Zimbabwe, he was a new rising star. But since then it has gone downhill. He was out against Coetzee in the first T20. Looking at the kind of shots he hit, it seems as if he has become a prisoner of his own reputation. He is not able to get rid of the reputation he has created (as a fast batsman). They feel that I play like this, so now I have to play like this. I won’t wait. In such a situation, another failure has occurred.” However, the former cricketer expressed hope that Abhishek will open in the remaining three matches against South Africa as well. But Akash also warned that if the young player fails to create a consistent impact then problems may arise. He said, “A time will come when problems will arise. Questions will be asked as to how long you will be associated with Abhishek. He will get a chance in three more matches. But with every match the sand seems to be slipping from our hands.”
