Big changes are going to happen in Test and ODI formats, ICC may take decision soon

ICC WTC Logo (Photo Source: To promote the Test and ODI formats, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering making some changes. Under this change, there will be a minimum of three Tests in each World Test Championship (WTC) series and in ODIs, two balls will be used for the first 25 overs and then the remaining 25 overs will be bowled with a single ball. The ICC board meeting was held in Dubai, in which women’s cricket was also discussed. If TOI report is to be believed, ICC’s Cricket Committee has received many suggestions in the board meeting. For this reason, the Cricket Committee has recommended that in order to promote Test cricket, as many Day-Night Tests i.e. Pink Ball Test matches should be organized in the next WTC cycle and the Test series should also be of at least 3 matches under the WTC. . ICC is considering conducting a three-match test series An ICC source said, “Some countries like South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka play only two-Test series on most occasions. Only India, England and Australia play long Test series. This does not help in promoting Test cricket and makes the distribution of points very unfair. The recommendations are aimed at eradicating such disparities.” Day-Night Test is currently organized only in Cricket Australia, but BCCI has not played a single Test match with pink ball on its soil for two years. Team India will play the Pink Ball Test in Australia in the coming December. The source said, “The ICC committee believes that more people come to the stadium because of the Test matches played with the pink ball. Recently the viewership in Pakistan has been very low. More tickets than usual were sold in the 3 pink ball test matches played in India. Test playing countries should be encouraged to play more pink ball Test matches.”

Ishan Kishan returns to Team India, will be seen playing on Australia tour

Ishan Kishan has been selected in India A team. Ishan Kishan (Pic Source-X) India A Squad For Australia Tour: BCCI has announced the India A squad for the Australia tour on Monday. Ishan Kishan has returned to this team, he has been selected as a wicketkeeper batsman in the 15-member India A team. Whereas Rituraj Gaikwad will be seen captaining India A. Abhimanyu Easwaran has been made the vice-captain. Easwaran has scored four centuries in his last four first-class matches. 26-year-old Ishaan has been out of the international cricket team for a long time. He played his last international match in November last year. He was suddenly ruled out of the South Africa tour at the end of 2023, after which there has been no comeback in the senior Indian team. After that Ishaan also stayed away from domestic cricket due to which some BCCI officials were angry with him. The board had also dropped Ishaan from the central contract in February 2024. Ishan Kishan is captaining the Jharkhand team in Ranji Trophy. However, now Ishaan has attracted the attention of BCCI by playing some good innings in domestic cricket. He is currently captaining Jharkhand in Ranji Trophy. He recently scored a century against Railways. Before that, the wicketkeeper batsman had scored centuries in Duleep Trophy and Buchi Babu Memorial Tournament. In such a situation, if Ishan does well on this tour, he can return to the senior team of Team India. It is believed that if Ishaan is successful in making a mark in Australia, he can also return to the senior Indian team. Apart from Gaikwad-Eshwaran, India A team also has an opening batsman like Sai Sudarshan. Any one of these three can be included as an opening batsman in the senior team. In fact, captain Rohit Sharma is expected to take a break during one of the first two Test matches due to personal reasons. Two matches will be played between India A and Australia A. The first match will be held in Mackay from 31 October and the second in Melbourne from 7 November. Next, India A and the Indian team (senior men) will play intra-squad practice matches in Perth, starting on November 15.

India could not make it to the semi-finals, but they earned Rs 3.74 crore in their account. 2) “No sword will work here” – When Harsha Bhogle made fun of Captain Rohit The first match of the ongoing three-match Test series between India and New Zealand was played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In this match, Team India had to face defeat by 8 wickets. After the end of this match, when Rohit Sharma arrived for the presentation, Harsha Bhogle present there enjoyed him.

A ball from Ravindra Jadeja hit his knee, the same knee in which he had to undergo surgery after a car accident. His knee was swollen.

IND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”

There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.
