SRINAGAR : Indian police arrested seven students in the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) region under anti-terror laws for allegedly celebrating Australia's victory over India in the men's Cricket World Cup final earlier this month, police said on Tuesday.
Captain Pat Cummins said on Tuesday that cricketers were "not robots" with Australia's T20 team struggling in India straight after their 50-over World Cup triumph. Seven of the Australia squad who won the World Cup remained in India for a five-match T20 series that started four days after the November 19 final. A second-string India side won the first two matches and reports in Australia say that six of the seven are now set to return home. The third T20 is later Tuesday.
Weeks after India's heartbreaking six-wicket loss against Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram blamed the 'Men in Blue' fans for presenting them as the winners of the prestigious tournament before the host country played the last game. While speaking on Star Sports, Akram accepted the fact that it was tough for the people of the host nation that the Men in Blue could not lift the World Cup since they were outstanding throughout the tournament.
The Cricket World Cup 2023 was a forgettable one for the Pakistan team and its skipper Babar Azam. Despite being one of the most respected batters in the game, Babar failed to leave his mark at the grandest stage, with the results even prompting a change in the Pakistan team's captaincy. Just as the cricket world was looking to move on from Babar and Pakistan's World Cup debacle, Iceland cricket trolled the star batter in epic fashion, while replying to a non-cricketing post on X (formerly Twitter).
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a U-turn on its decision to impose a fine on batter Azam Khan for displaying the Palestine flag on his bat during a domestic match. As Azam Khan's team Karachi Whites took on Lahore Blues at the National Stadium on Sunday, his bat featured a Palestine flag. Subsequently, a 50% fine on the match fee was imposed on Azam. However, the PCB later reviewed and matter and decided to waive the penalty that was imposed by the match officials.
Suryakumar Yadav will have an opportunity to break a huge record of Virat Kohli in the third T20I of the five-match series against Australia on Tuesday. The number 1 T20I batter could become the fastest Indian to score 2000 runs in the format if he gets an opportunity to bat against Australia in Guwahati. Suryakumar is 60 runs shy of achieving the milestone. In 52 T20I innings, he has scored 1940 runs. On the other hand, Kohli had reached the landmark of 2000 T20I runs in his 56th innings.
Iceland Cricket took to social media to express their interest in hosting the Champions Trophy 2025 in a hilarious post amid rumours of Pakistan losing on the hosting rights due to India's stance on not travelling. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series for around a decade due to political tensions and several reports have claimed that the tournament can be shifted to Dubai. Iceland Cricket wrote an entire letter with jokes regarding their challenging weather conditions and lack of standard cricket grounds in a bid to host the competition amid the ongoing reports and rumours. "We are not people who hold back. We have today issued our bid to host the Champions Trophy of 2025, and we look forward to hearing what Greg Barclay of ICC has to say about it," the post read on X.
Pakistan's star pacer Hasan Ali has expressed his desire to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He said that he will definitely play the tournament if given an opportunity. It is worth noting that Pakistan cricketers took part in the inaugural edition of IPL way back in 2008 but after that they were banned from the competition due to the increasing political tension between their country and India. In the first season, big names like Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul and Kamran Akmal had taken part in the cash-rich competition.
