Indian cricket team's participation in the Champions Trophy 2025 - to be held in Pakistan - remains in doubt with the BCCI not making any official announcement. The two sides have not played a single bilateral series against each other in almost a decade and the only time they face off is during international and continental competitions. However, Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup but India have not take any final decision. While there have been some reports of the tournament adapting a hybrid format, the ICC have no said anything on those lines and Pakistan have reportedly planned India's matches to be held in Lahore. Former Pakistan skipper Moin Khan fired a warning for India and during an interview with Cricket Pakistan, he said that the BCCI should honour ICC commitments.
Avinash Sable will be competing in the men's 3000m steeplechase event in the Diamond League Final in Brussels, Belgium on Saturday. For the athlete, it would be an opportunity to make up for a disappointing Olympics, wherein he finished at the 11th spot. The showpiece is spread over two days for the first time and the field features top athletes from all continents, including an unprecedented number of Olympic medal winners, who will be vying for the top honours in 32 disciplines. Notably, this will be his maiden appearance in the Diamond League season finale.
Skipper Harmanpreet Singh made the difference as he converted two penalty corners to hand unbeaten India a close 2-1 win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their final league match of the Asian Champions Trophy hockey tournament in Hulunbuir on Saturday. It was India's fifth consecutive win in the six-team round-robin competition. Pakistan took the lead through Ahmad Nadeem (8th minute) before Harmanpreet (13th, 19th) converted two penalty corners to lead India to win. It was Pakistan's first loss in this tournament.
The Indian teams over the years have depended a lot on match simulations and Gautam Gambhir's outfit is no different, selecting net bowlers with specific skill-sets who can help the batters get ready for the Bangladesh series starting here from September 19. One of the pacers called up for the four-day camp here is Punjab's Gurnoor Brar, who has so far played five first-class matches and he was also with Punjab Kings during the IPL last season. While his first-class record isn't flattering, what worked for the 24-year-old is his tall 6 feet 4.5 inch frame and the disconcerting bounce that he can generate with more than skiddy pace. It is understood that Gurnoor has been drafted in specifically to get some simulation for the high-arm action of Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana, who had a match-haul of five wickets against Pakistan in a recent Test match at Rawalpindi.
Former India and Karnataka pacer Dodda Ganesh has been relieved of his duties as Kenya men's head coach just a month after his appointment into the role last month (August 12). Ganesh, who played four Tests and one ODI for India, had been roped in for a year-long contract with the Kenya men's team. As per a report in nation.africa, the executive board of Cricket Kenya said Ganesh's appointment was made irregularly. The letter was signed by Pearlyne Omami, Cricket Kenya's Director of Women's Cricket, on behalf of the other board members. Kenya had entered the 2003 World Cup semi-fnals.
India vs Pakistan Hockey Highlights: Captain Harmanpreet Singh led from the front as the Indian men's hockey team beat Pakistan 2-1 in their final group game of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024 in Moqi, China. However, India had to come from a goal down to beat Pakistan remain unbeaten, heading into the semi-finals. Ahmad Nadeem had put Pakistan into the lead in the eighth minute, before Harmanpreet turn the game on its head with two penalty corner goals in the first-half. So far, India, Pakistan and Korea have qualified for the semi-finals, with Malaysia and China in contention to grab the final spot.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah wished India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav on his 34th birthday on Saturday, adding that he's excited to see him lead the team to more wins in the shortest format. "Happy Birthday to our T20I skipper and Mr. 360 with the bat, @surya_14kumar! I'm excited to see you lead the Men in Blue to many victories in the shortest format. Best wishes for the year ahead!” wrote Shah on his ‘X' account. Suryakumar, who also held the top ranking in the men's T20I rankings, etched himself forever into cricketing folklore with his stunning relay catch at long-off of David Miller in this year's T20 World Cup final at Kensington Oval in Barbados, which eventually paved the way for India to end an 11-year drought of winning a global title.
