NEW DELHI : Jasprit Bumrah is set to miss next month's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia, local media reported on Friday, after the Indian bowler was ruled out of the ongoing home series against South Africa with a back injury.
The ongoing seven-match T20I series between Pakistan and England has witnessed many ebbs and flows, and after five games, it is Pakistan who are leading the series 3-2. England need to win the sixth T20I that will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday evening. In the last two T20Is, England have failed to chase down relatively easier totals, and the Pakistan bowling lineup have risen to the challenge. In the sixth T20I, it would be interesting to see what combination both teams opt to go for.
Ravindra Jadeja and Sanjay Manjrekar have come a long way after the 2019 World Cup, and the duo have seemingly patched up. During the 2019 50-over tournament, former India batter Manjrekar had termed Jadeja as "bits and pieces" cricketer and it was then that Jadeja got miffed and he took to Twitter to say: "Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved. I have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea. @sanjaymanjrekar."
Pace ace all but ruled out of marquee event due to recurring back injuryNEW DELHI: India's T20 World Cup hopes suffered a big blow on Wednesday with pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah's back injury resurfacing in a big way, which is likely to force him to skip the marquee event in Australia in October. Indian cricket board (BCCI) sources told TOI that Bumrah had been released from the team which is currently playing against South Africa in a T20I series. This is the second injury setback for India ahead of the World Cup following Ravindra Jadeja's knee injury.
Hummel's decision to tone down the details of Denmark's World Cup kit in protest against Qatar's human rights record was driven by the company's desire to be seen as a purpose-driven brand, industry experts told Reuters on Thursday.
Pakistan's young bowling sensation Naseem Khan has tested positive for Covid-19, a day after it was announced he had contracted pneumonia. However, the strike bowler has been released from the hospital. A week after an unknown member of the Pakistan support staff tested positive for Covid-19, Naseem is the second member of the Pakistan camp to develop the illness during the current series against England as per ESPNcricinfo.
Former India cricketer Rohan Gavaskar came out in support of Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who has been under the scanner for his low strike-rate in the shortest of the game. Despite consistently scoring runs, Babar's form has deteriorated since the start of the Asia Cup last month. Though he did score a century in the ongoing T20I series against Pakistan at home, his form in general has not impressed the critics. However, Gavaskar feels that Babar is "not a one-dimensional player", labelling the 27-year-old as a quality player.
Shah was discharged from hospital on Thursday after being diagnosed with pneumonia and the PCB said the fast bowler was feeling "much better." "Shah is back in the team hotel where he will follow all Covid-19 protocols," the PCB said in a statement. Pakistan is due to leave for New Zealand next Monday to participate in a triangular Twenty20 series also featuring Bangladesh.
