DTVHINDIIND vs NZ: After leaving the captaincy, problems may increase for Tim Southee, it is not easy to join the playing XI of New Zealand.

The first match of this Test series is starting from 16th October in Bengaluru. Let us tell you that recently New Zealand was defeated by Sri Lanka in the two-match Test series at home. Sri Lanka won this test series by 2-0. Tim Southee resigned from the post of captain of New Zealand after losing the Test series against Sri Lanka. Now the responsibility of captaining the Kiwi team has been handed over to Tom Latham. It is looking very difficult to replace Tim Southee in the playing XI under the captaincy of Tom Latham. Let us tell you that Tim Southee’s performance has been very good in India. He has taken 20 wickets at an average of 28.70. However, the New Zealand team can keep only two fast bowlers in its playing XI in the upcoming Test series. If this happens then it could be two fast bowlers Matt Henry and William O’Rourke. New Zealand team head coach Gary Stead has not revealed what happened between him and Tim Southee after the test series defeat against Sri Lanka. According to ESPNcricinfo, Gary Stead said, ‘Just like we review after all Test tours and series, Tim Southee and I had a conversation among ourselves and only after that he decided to step down from the post of captaincy. He felt that this would prove to be right for the team and I also supported his decision. Tim Southee used to start for us and lead the team well: Gary Stead Stead further said, ‘It is very important to see different players in their role as a selector or coach as it brings out the best in the team. Tim Southee was a player who used to start for us and also lead the team and we always look for that option which can take the team forward. It is very important for New Zealand to win the three-match Test series against India. The New Zealand team must be feeling very sad due to the defeat against Sri Lanka but now all the players will be seen to perform well in the upcoming test series.

Despite losing the test against Sri Lanka, captain Tim Southee is happy with the performance of William O’Rourke and Rachin Ravindra
Host Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand by 63 runs in the first Test match. Tim Southee (Image Credit- Twitter X) New Zealand is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series. The first match of this Test series between the two teams was played at the Galle International Cricket Stadium. Let us tell you that New Zealand’s performance on this ground was not very good. The Kiwi team had to face five defeats here and a defeat by an innings and 10 wickets in one match. Something similar was seen once again when host Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand by 63 runs in the first Test match on this ground. However, even after this defeat, the performance of two players from the New Zealand cricket team was worth noting. One was bowler William O’Rourke and the other was young all-rounder Rachin Ravindra. William O’Rourke impressed in the Galle Test match by taking five wickets in the first innings and three wickets in the second innings, while Rachin held one end by scoring 92 runs in the second innings. Now, after the match is over, captain Tim Southee has given a big statement. Tim Southee gave a big statement After the first test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand ended in Galle, Tim Southee said- William O’Rourke has had a very short test career so far, and he has certainly announced it himself. We saw in New Zealand how dangerous he can be. He has the skills to have a very good Test career. For him to come in his first Test on the subcontinent and perform so well by taking 8 wickets in the match is nothing short of extraordinary. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders and he can become a big player, so there is a lot to like about William O’Rourke. Saudi further said about Rachin- Rachin (Ravindra) kept us in the Test match chase. We knew it was going to be tough, as the pitch was turning a lot in the last few days. It was a brilliant innings by Rachin in those conditions.

T20 World Cup 2024: Tim Paine’s big statement came on Australia’s defeat against Afghanistan
Australia was knocked out of the T20 World Cup after losing against Afghanistan AUS vs AFG (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 ended with the victory of the Indian team. India, England, Afghanistan and South Africa made it to the semi-finals. However, when the tournament started, no one thought that Afghanistan would make it to the last four. Let us tell you that after the team’s amazing performance in the group stage, the Afghan team made it to the T20 World Cup semi-finals for the first time, and then showed amazing performance in the semi-finals and defeated a strong team like Australia by 21 runs, knocking them out of the tournament. With this win, Afghanistan also avenged their crushing defeat against Australia in the World Cup 2023. Also, Australia had refused to play a bilateral series against Afghanistan in Afghanistan. The biggest reason behind this was the Taliban’s ban on women’s participation in sports. Due to this, Cricket Australia refused to send the team to Afghanistan. On the other hand, now a big statement has come from former Australian captain Tim Paine on Australia’s defeat. Tim Paine gave a big statement on Australia’s defeat in T20 World Cup Let us tell you that recently former Australian wicketkeeper batsman Tim Paine, in an interview with Crictracker, said about Australia’s defeat to Afghanistan – I do not believe that we do not play bilateral matches with them. I think Afghanistan played really well in the T20 World Cup in conditions that suited them and they are getting better and better. There is no doubt that they have a lot of depth in their team now. Paine further said- They now have some players who can take the game away from you with the bat and obviously they always have Rashid Khan, who can easily win you the game. They can do better with the ball at any level and T20 cricket is one of their strong sides.
In an exclusive conversation with Crictracker, Tim Paine made a big revelation about sledging with Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli scored 692 runs in the 2014-15 Border-Gavaskar series Virat Kohli and Tim Paine. (Photo Source: Getty Images) When India toured Australia in 2014, Virat Kohli was in the news a lot. Before the four-match series, the media was keeping an eye on his every move. He was criticized and the Australian players left no stone unturned in sledging him. However, Kohli was not affected by all these things at that time. The then 25-year-old Kohli showed his ability and scored 692 runs while Team India was struggling. The sledging from the Australian players made him stronger, which resulted in him being the second-highest run-scorer of the series. Since that series, there has been a decrease in sledging by Australian players towards Kohli or Indian cricketers. Now once again the teams of India and Australia are ready for the Border-Gavaskar series in November, 2024. Before this high profile series, Tim Paine has said that sledging does not matter to Kohli. He also revealed that when he was a keeper, he tried to distract the cricketers. Apart from this, he used to get angry when former cricketers advised the Australian players not to sledge Kohli. Tim Paine’s exclusive interview with CricTracker In an exclusive interview with Crictracker, Paine said, “People used to say, don’t sledge Virat. If you don’t sledge Virat, most of the time he still keeps scoring runs. So it doesn’t matter whether you are saying something to him or not. I will not try to provoke Virat, but if possible I will try to distract him. If you can distract him even a little bit, he can play a bad shot or lose his concentration. But when people used to say, don’t sledge him, I used to get very angry.” Let us tell you that before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2018, Michael Clarke had advised Australia not to sledge Kohli and even at that time Tim Paine had said that his team did not want to provoke the Indian captain. However, after the series, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag had said that the Australian players were soft towards India. He said that the host team was soft towards the guests considering the IPL contracts of some players.

ICC should now make strict rules about what is necessary and what is not. You also want that Test cricket should be better and more and more players should participate in it.’ Shaun Marsh said about this, ‘It is good to see that players have a lot of options, but when I started playing T20 cricket, it was very difficult for me too. It is very important for the players to understand that playing in international cricket is an honour.’ The second semi-final match will be played between India Champions and Australia Champions The second semi-final of the World Championship Legends will be played between India Champions and Australia Champions today i.e. on 12th July at County Ground, Northampton.
