IND vs SL: Is this player’s last ODI for Team India? Champions Trophy dream shattered
Shivam Dubey’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dubey has played 4 ODI matches for India so far. In this, he has scored 43 runs and taken one wicket at a poor average of 10.75. Shivam Dubey (Source X) On 8 August, despite having star players, the strong Indian team had to face a humiliating defeat of 0-2 in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. With this, India has lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka after 27 years. Team India included young players as well as veteran players. But, they could not perform well in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Amidst all this, the question has arisen whether any player of Team India has played the last ODI match of his career. Shivam Dube is coming under the scanner of this question. Did Shivam Dubey play his last ODI for India? The Indian player was given a chance to play continuously in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, this player has broken the trust of Team India coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma with his flop performance. Now there are rumors that this was Shivam Dubey’s last ODI match for India. It is almost impossible for Dubey to get a chance in India’s ODI team in the future. How was Shivam Dubey’s performance on the Sri Lanka tour? All-rounder Shivam Dubey has performed poorly in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. Shivam Dubey could not get success in both bowling and batting. Shivam Dubey missed the chance to become the hero of the team by scoring 25, 0 and 9 runs in the three matches of the ODI series. Shivam Dubey could not perform as claimed in bowling as well. On the basis of all these statistics, it is doubtful that Shivam Dubey will get a chance in the ODI team. It will be difficult if Hardik Pandya comes Hardik Pandya did not play in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Due to this, Shivam Dubey was given a chance as an all-rounder in the ODI team. But Shivam Dubey performed poorly and could not maintain the trust of the coach and captain. In such a situation, if Hardik returns to Team India’s ODI team, Shivam Dubey will lose his place. It is very difficult for Shivam Dubey to remain in the ODI team along with Hardik. Shivam Dubey may miss the golden opportunity of Champions Trophy The Champions Trophy tournament will be held in February-March 2025 next year. Team India will play the next ODI match in this tournament. Hardik Pandya will play as an all-rounder for Team India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh and Ravindra Jadeja will get a chance in the top order. In such a situation, players like Shivam Dubey, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant may miss out due to their poor performance. Especially Shivam Dube’s return to the ODI team is doubtful. Shivam Dube has played 4 ODI matches for India so…

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.”

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear that the government will decide on playing in Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been trying to convince the BCCI for a long time. However, PCB has now given up this tension and has adopted a new strategy. PCB has handed over the task of convincing India to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy to the International Cricket Council (ICC). Let us tell you that in the Asia Cup held last year under the hosting of PCB, India played all its matches in Sri Lanka on the basis of ‘hybrid model’. However, there is no clarity on whether the ‘hybrid model’ will be adopted in the Champions Trophy or not. Although the Champions Trophy budget was approved at the recent ICC meeting in Colombo, the schedule and format were not discussed. The ICC has kept supplementary expenses in its tournament budget to deal with any situation, including the possibility of the Indian team playing its matches outside Pakistan.

It has submitted the draft schedule and format of the competition and has also submitted the budget for the competition.” He said, “Now it is up to the ICC how quickly they circulate, discuss and finalise the schedule of the Champions Trophy. The PCB has suggested in the draft schedule to host all the matches of India in Lahore including the semi-finals (if India qualifies) and the final.”

Suryakumar Yadav has not been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket so far. Suryakumar Yadav and Aakash Chopra. (Image Source: BCCI/X) Suryakumar Yadav, one of the world’s most dangerous batsmen in T20 cricket, has not yet been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket. The ICC Champions Trophy is to be held in February and March next year. The Champions Trophy will be played in ODI format. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav. Chopra believes that T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the Champions Trophy because he is not fitting into the ODI team. Let us tell you that BCCI has recently appointed Suryakumar as the captain of the Indian T20 team. He beat Hardik Pandya in the race for captaincy. However, Surya did not get a place in the ODI squad against Sri Lanka. Aakash Chopra made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav When Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked about this in the press conference, he said in clear words that Surya will remain a part of the T20 setup for now. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Suryakumar Yadav was part of the team that reached the ODI World Cup 2023 final. He was also in the team that played the T20 World Cup 2024 final. He took a wonderful catch of David Miller. However, Surya is no longer a part of the ODI team. In such a situation, when questions were asked about Surya, it was said that he is a great and special player but will be seen playing only in T20 Internationals. His name was not considered in ODIs. If his name is not being discussed and the Champions Trophy is about to come. So you can assume that Suryakumar will not be seen in the Champions Trophy. The former cricketer said that Shubman Gill is sure to play in the Champions Trophy. Chopra said, “Gill will be seen in the Champions Trophy. He (Agkar) said that Gill is a player of all three formats. Gautam Gambhir (head coach) also believes that if a player of all three formats is found then there is nothing wrong. Gill’s captaincy has also been seen. Whatever captaincy he has done, it has been liked. Therefore, he has also been made the vice-captain.

Rahul Dravid was the captain at that time. After that he was no longer with the ODI team.
