Virat Kohli and injured Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi went viral on the media platforms. Team India will start its Asia Cup campaign with a high-voltage clash against Pakistan, which will take place on August 28. The match between the two neighbour countries is always a highly emotional affair and the pressure of this tends to get to the players as well as fans. A recent video of the star India batter exchanging greetings with the Pakistan pacer went viral, leaving the fans from both countries in awe. In the video shared by Pakistan Cricket Board, Afridi could be heard saying: "Aapke liye Duaen kar rahe hai ki waapis form mein aaye (We are praying for your comeback. Want to see you in form again)."
Sheldon Jackson, a stalwart in the domestic circuit, found his name missing from the India A squad that will take on New Zealand A in three four-day matches as well as the Duleep Trophy squads that were announced earlier this week. The wicketkeeper-batter, 35, was left disappointed that despite producing good performances, he was ignored with his age being cited as the reason. Jackson said that he was being given that reason since he was 31, while others above 30 did go on to get picked by the selectors.
Republic of Ireland WNT manager Vera Pauw has named her 28-player squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers against Finland and Slovakia.
A summer of change at Leinster, but a familiarity in the new arrivals.
India and Pakistan will be coming against each other in the much-awaited Asia Cup group stage match on August 28. The encounter will take place at the Dubai International Stadium, the venue where the two arch-rivals last met and it was Pakistan who came out on top on the match day with a 10-wicket win over India. The game was a 2021 T20 World Cup encounter and India's loss in it later played a big role in the team's ouster from the mega event in the group stage.
Beauden Barrett and Richie Mo'unga have long shut out other claimants to New Zealand's number 10 jersey but All Blacks fans may see a new challenger emerge in the Rugby Championship clash against Argentina on Saturday.
Mayank Agarwal worked on his batting. The intensity was ferocious, although he did pause when players like Umran Malik stopped by to greet him. Nor did he miss congratulating them on their call-up for the upcoming red-ball series against New Zealand ‘A’. But deep down he was hurting. It’s been a tough year for the 31-year-old. He hasn’t played for the country since the day-night Test against Sri Lanka in March and as skipper of Punjab Kings, he turned in a sub-par 196 runs in 12 innings in the Indian Premier League. Mayank’s international career is at a crossroads, but rather than brood over what could have been, the talented batsman is determined to make a strong comeback. He has chosen to channel his energy towards working on his flaws. The goal is to be back in India colours. The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament offered him just the platform that he needed – the confidence-building kind. Captain of the Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters, Mayank is currently the leading runs scorer with 480 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 167.24. This includes two centuries and a half-century. What’s more, he has been a revelation as captain. “I’m very happy with my performance and the way I’m batting,” he said. “I’ve been able to contribute to the team’s success.”
