JOHANNESBURG : South Africa have added all-rounder Marco Jansen to their squad for the T20 World Cup in Australia, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
One of the greatest captains the game of cricket has seen, Sourav Ganguly seems to be heading towards a sorry exit as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). There remain plenty of rumours over his impending exit, with some reports also suggesting that Dada wanted to continue being the chief of the richest cricket board in the world. The fact, however, is that Roger Binny is all but set to replace him at the helm.
Proteas all-rounder Marco Jansen has been called up in South Africa's 15-man squad for next week's ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.
The Indian cricket team secured a 2-1 series win over South Africa in the 3-match assignment. After losing the opening match in a closely-fought battle, Shikhar Dhawan's men made a commendable comeback in the series, rattling the Proteas in the second and the third match. In the process, the Indian team as well as a few players went on to record memorable performances which will be remembered for a long time. From Kuldeep Yadav bagging a 4-wicket-haul in the third ODI to South Africa registering their lowest score against India in the 50-over format, some intriguing records and milestones were registered in the series.
Mahela Jayawardene is mighty impressed with the rise of Wanindu Hasaranga as he sees traits of pace bowling great Lasith Malinga in the 25-year-old spin allrounder. Hasaranga, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, hogged the limelight in the 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE when he topped the charts with 16 wickets -- the most in a tournament. He then played an instrumental role both with the bat and ball in their Asia Cup triumph to rise to world number 4 in the allrounder's rankings.
Arriving into the 3-match ODI series against South Africa with a point to prove, Mohammed Siraj produced an exemplary show of pace bowling that saw him bag 5 wickets while conceding runs at an economy rate of 4.52. As India won the series 2-1 after securing a thumping 7-wicket win in the final match in New Delhi on Tuesday, Siraj was deservedly named the Player Of The Series.
Miracle Usani scored a stunner, yesterday, to give Nigeria the lead in their opening game of the ongoing India 2022 FIFA U-17 Women World Cup, but the strike was not enough to save the Flamingos as Germany rallied to a 2-1 win Goa.
Under-fire captain Temba Bavuma is running out of time to find his batting form before leading South Africa's challenge for a maiden T20 World Cup title in Australia.
