Watch: Jayant Yadav Castles Batter With Absolute Ripper In County Match

India off-spinner Jayant Yadav bowled a beauty to castle Somerset's Kasey Aldridge on his County Championship debut for Warwickshire on Tuesday. The 32-year-old, bowling during the Somerset's second innings with the bat, pitched the ball up outside the off-stump. As Aldridge, promoted up the order as a nightwatchman, looked to defend it, the ball spun back in sharply to go through his gates and clatter into the stumps. It was Yadav's second wicket of the match, having taken one in Somerset' first innings as well.

Arshdeep "Could Not Sleep" After Asia Cup Match vs Pakistan, Coach Reveals

Young India pacer Arshdeep Singh became one of the major highlights of Asia Cup 2022, for both right and wrong reasons. The Punjab bowler, who made his international debut in the T20I against England this year, has played 11 matches and scalped 14 wickets so far. During the Asia Cup Super 4 clash against Pakistan, Arshdeep dropped a relatively easy catch of Asif Ali, following which he had to face a lot flak on social media. After India lost to Pakistan, where Arshdeep failed to defend seven runs of the last over, he had a chat with his coach Jaswant Rai, expressing disappointment on his performance.

"Something He Wants To Do": Rohan Gavaskar On Virat Kohli's Batting Position In T20 World Cup

The All-India Senior-Selection Committee picked the T20 World Cup squad on Monday. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel made their way back into the squad after recovering from their respective injuries. However, one of the big talking points is whether Virat Kohli should come out to open alongside Rohit Sharma in the marquee event. Former India batter Rohan Gavaskar has backed Kohli to open with Suryakumar Yadav batting at No.3. However, he also said that with this, KL Rahul would have to miss out, and it would be tricky as he is an "absolute class act".

"Pehle Se Hi Tay Kar Diya?": Sunil Gavaskar Angry With 'Harshal Will Get Hit In Australia' Comment

While the Indian cricket team squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup bears a tried and tested look, there were a couple of omissions which stuck out for some experts. Former Indian cricket team player and 1983 World Cup player Krishnamachari Srikkanth felt that Mohammed Shami should have been included in the main squad in place of Harshal Patel. "If I was the chairman of the selection committee, (Mohammad) Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy's got the real action, the guy's got bounce, he can bare the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel," Srikkanth said on Star Sports.

England potential excites skipper Ben Stokes after Test series win over South Africa

England needed just 25 minutes at the Oval to complete a nine-wicket win over the Proteas in barely more than two days' actual playing time that secured a 2-1 series victory. It also meant England had won six out of seven Tests under a new leadership duo of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum -- a far cry from a record of one win in 17 matches that marked the end of Joe Root's reign as skipper. New Zealand, the World Test champions were beaten 3-0 before England defeated India in a one-off Test, held over from last year because of coronavirus concerns in the Indian camp, prior to seeing off the Proteas. All of those triumphs were marked by a willingness to engage in dashing run-chases, while removing as much pressure from players as possible, albeit much of England's success, as South Africa captain Dean Elgar noted, was built on traditional fundamentals of the red-ball game.
