Uncapped fast bowler Salim Safi and middle-order batter Darwish Rasooli have been picked in Afghanistan's 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia, the country's cricket board said on Thursday.
Afghanistan on Thursday named their 15-member squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, which begins in Australia on October 16. Mohammad Nabi, who led Afghanistan in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022, takes up the captaincy reins again. Afghanistan will square off against England in their opening campaign at Perth on October 22. Of the 17 players who were part of the Afghanistan Squad for the recently held Asia Cup 2022, Samiullah Shinwari, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Afsar Zazai, Karim Janat and Noor Ahmad have missed out, whereas the middle-order batter Darwish Rasooli, the leg-spinning all-rounder Qais Ahmad and the right-arm quick Salim Safi have made it to the 15-member cut.
Anushka Sharma's co-star from her upcoming movie 'Chakda Xpress', which is based on the life of legendary India pacer Jhulan Goswami, Anushul Chauhan was in for a surprise on her birthday. Anshul, who turned 29 on Wednesday, got a special visit from Anushka's husband and India batting icon Virat Kohli. The actor took to Instagram to share a series of photos and videos with the former India skipper, and she can be seen having a hard time holding in her happiness at meeting Kohli.
Star India batter Virat Kohli stormed back to form in the recently concluded Asia Cup and even ended a century drought that lasted nearly three years. Back among the runs, Kohli is set to play a crucial role in India's campaign in the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, which begins next month. However, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has come up with a bold prediction that Kohli may step away from the shortest format after the mega event in Australia, to extend his career in Tests and ODIs.
After their group stage exit from the Asia Cup, the Bangladesh cricket team management did a shake-up while naming their squad for the T20 World Cup. It axed former captain Mahmudullah Riyad and recalled batsman Najmul Hossain for next month's marquee tournament in Australia. The Asia Cup campaign highlighted the team's 20-over woes, with Bangladesh turfed out in the group stage after losing to Afghanistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka.
Invitations to the Queen’s state funeral have not been sent to Syria, Venezuela or Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
England have added former Australia batsman Michael Hussey and the ex-bowling coach David Saker to their backroom staff for the Twenty20 World Cup, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Wednesday.
This month's disappointing Asia Cup campaign highlighted the team's 20-over woes, with Bangladesh turfed out in the group stage after losing to Afghanistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka. Mahmudullah's inclusion was under a cloud after a lacklustre 151 runs across his eight match appearances in 2022. Indian cricketer Sridharan Sriram, appointed last month as the team's T20 consultant, said it was time for the team to think of its future beyond the 36-year-old.
