BENGALURU : Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will miss their World Cup match with England due to concussion after falling off a golf cart this week, but head coach Andrew McDonald said on Wednesday he expects the player to make a full recovery.
New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner surpassed India's stalwart batter Virat Kohli to become the player to have the biggest impact in the field at the ongoing World Cup as per the ICC rankings. The New Zealand all-rounder only has four catches in six matches at the ongoing World Cup, his impact on the field isn't restricted to his ability to take catches. The experienced Kiwi spinner has made his presence felt in different fielding categories as well. His one-handed catch in Afghanistan clash is mere reflection of the efforts that he puts in the field for the Blackcaps.
The Pakistan cricket team's underperformance hasn't just earned Babar Azam's men constant criticism but the nature of the results has also put the board in the line of fire. While Babar and several other splayers have seen questions being raised over their credentials, there are those too who believe that the PCB deserves as much flak as the team following the poor World Cup campaign in India. Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria is one such player.
