Duleep Trophy: Rishabh Pant In Focus On Red-Ball Return; Selectors Eye Backup Options

Rishabh Pant's red-ball return will be closely monitored but the national selectors will also trace suitable backup options to frontline stars when Duleep Trophy, which preludes an important Test season, begins across Bengaluru and Anantapur on Thursday. Pant, who returned to white-ball formats after that horrific car crash, is yet to play in a longer-duration match. His last red-ball outing was against Bangladesh in December 2022. Now, he will turn out for Abhimanyu Easwaran-led Team B against Shubman Gill-captained Team A at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Pakistan Drop To 8th In Test Rankings Following Loss To Bangladesh

Pakistan's first-ever series loss to Bangladesh has resulted in Shan Masood's team slipping down to the eighth position in the ICC Test rankings besides hitting a historic low of lowest rating points since 1965. Pakistan were thrashed by 10 wickets in the first Test while the hosts lost the second by six wickets with Rawalpindi hosting both the matches. “Pakistan dropped two places in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings to go to eighth position after suffering a shock series loss at home to Bangladesh,” the ICC said on its website.

"Can't Just Throw Them In Every Game": Shan Masood's Blunt Take On Dropping Shaheen, Naseem

Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood has backed the decision to drop the star pace duo of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah for the second game of the two-match series. Pakistan endured a series whitewash against Bangladesh on Tuesday in Rawalpindi.

The pace set-up of Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali and Khurram Shahzad worked wonders in the first innings but then faded.

Bangladesh completed a 2-0 whitewash of Pakistan on Pakistan soil, as they sealed a six-wicket win in the second Test at Rawalpindi, despite Day 1 being washed out. Pakistan held a 12-0 record over Bangladesh in Test cricket before the series. Bangladesh, meanwhile, had never won a series game in Pakistan before the series, having a 0-20 record. But that has all changed now. This is also only the second-ever Test series victory for Bangladesh on away soil. Pakistan's dismal performance has drawn criticism from experts in the cricket world.

New Face In BCCI Selection Panel, Ex-Teammate Of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid

The BCCI on Tuesday appointed former India wicket-keeper Ajay Ratra as a selector of the men's cricket team, replacing Salil Ankola in the five-man panel. As per convention, all five selectors represent different zones and Ratra will represent North Zone in the committee headed by Ajit Agarkar. After Agarkar was appointed chief selector last year, the selection panel ended up having two selectors from West Zone with Ankola already part of the committee.

"Haven't Learnt Our Lesson": Pakistan Captain's Scathing Verdict After Bangladesh Loss

Pakistan cricket team captain Shan Masood was left extremely disappointed as his side slumped to a crushing 0-2 Test series loss against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi on Tuesday. In the first Test, Pakistan's decision to declare their first innings at 448/6 backfired completely as Bangladesh scored a mammoth 565 and then produced a brilliant bowling performance to win the game by 10 wickets. Things did not improve in the second Test as Bangladesh once again excelled with both bat and ball to clinch the match by six wickets. Following the match, Masood said that Pakistan have not learnt their lessons from the past losses and added that they have continuously failed to get over the line in Test matches.

Bangladesh Humiliate Hosts Pakistan With 2-0 Test Series Sweep, Register Historic First

The Bangladesh cricket team continued their fairytale run in Pakistan, securing their second successive Test match win to wrap up the series 2-0. It's the first time that Bangladesh went on to complete a clean sweep against an Asian side in their own home, inflicting a defeat that Pakistan and the entire cricketing spectrum would remember for years to come. Bangladesh haven't been the strongest of teams in Test cricket away from home, with their only sweep in the longest format of the game coming against West Indies in 2009 (in a series of 2 or more Tests).
