Concerns are growing over the state of the T20 World Cup pitch in New York where Ireland lost to India on Wednesday, with former England coach Andy Flower suggesting conditions at the ground were "bordering on dangerous".
Satisfaction has given way to joy for Pádraig Harrington as his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame nears.
Ronan Keating will have left his fans who like listening to his Irish tones in the morning gutted as he revealed he's quitting one of his long-standing roles. The singer and presenter has spent seven years co-hosting the Magic Radio Breakfast show with Harriet Scott.
Pacer Arshdeep Singh said he only focussed on sticking with his plan even as controlling the ball on the drop-in pitch in cloudy conditions was a big task for India quicks in their eight-wicket win against Ireland, in their T20 World Cup opener in New York. Though India had an easy outing at the Nassau Country Stadium on Wednesday, dismissing Ireland for 96 in 16 overs and overhauling the target in 12.2 overs, Arshdeep conceded that controlling the swing was an onerous task and he banked on team-mate Jasprit Bumrah's advice to overcome the issue.
Hardik Pandya wore a blue jersey on Wednesday but this time the crowd cheered him instead of jeering the all-rounder. The blue jersey Pandya donned on Wednesday was that of India's, and not the deep blue of Mumbai Indians in which he stood in the face of an intense storm during the IPL 2024. Here, Pandya played a key role with his fast-medium stuff that got him three wickets and “enjoyed hitting the stumps.” “Always special to play for the country, WC is something I've been able to contribute,” Hardik told broadcasters during the innings break during India's T20 World Cup match against Ireland.
India's batters have the skills and experience needed to navigate the challenge of playing on a tricky pitch in New York, batting coach Vikram Rathour said after their Twenty20 World Cup victory over Ireland on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma's bruised bicep is expected to heal before the game against Pakistan on Sunday but the Nassau County ground's track, which is "bordering on dangerous with huge open cracks", has become a concern for stakeholders of the game trying to sell cricket in America through the ongoing T20 World Cup. India opened their campaign with an eight-wicket win in a low-scoring match against Ireland, who were bowled out of 96 in just 16 overs. Rohit, who scored a half century in the successful chase, was hit on his right bicep by pacer Josh Little and was forced to retire hurt.
Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming has revealed that India all-rounder Shivam Dube rates his own bowling skills pretty highly. Dube, who has worked with Fleming at Chennai Super Kings, didn't get the chance to bowl much during the entire IPL 2024 campaign. However, he gave a good account of himself in India's T20 World Cup warm-up game against Bangladesh last week, taking two wickets to help the team get a convincing win. Fleming conceded that while the 'impact player' rule limited Dube's role as an all-rounder, the CSK coach also revealed that the player always backs himself as a bowler as if he is Kapil Dev.
