Chicharito, close to Qatar 2022? Hernandez's move to get Tata Martino to call him back for Mexico

Although Mexico is considered a very worthy rival for any team in the world, it is a fact that they do not have the size of France's squad, for example. Thus, having their all-time leading scorer, Javier Chicharito Hernandez, off the radar when he is still active can be an expensive luxury. Fortunately, the conflict between the LA Galaxy player and El Tri coach Tata Martino could be nearing an end. Will Hernandez go to Qatar 2022?

Death specialist Arshdeep ready to be India's quiet killer

Arshdeep Singh, the pace sensation from Punjab who has earned his maiden call-up to the national team on the back of yet another stellar show for the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League. Despite being under the shadows of the likes of Mohammed Shami and then South African Kagiso Rabada in the ongoing season, the left-armer has made a mark for himself as a death-over specialist over the past couple of seasons for the Punjab franchise, to finally find himself in the 18-member India squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa, next month. The 10 wickets from 14 games in IPL 2022 may not reveal his true potential, but Arshdeep’s death-overs economy rate of 7.58 is only behind Jasprit Bumrah (7.38) for bowlers with at least eight overs this season.
