Anil Kumble Backs Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Ramandeep Singh For Team India Caps

Former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble has voiced his support for Yash Dayal, Vyshak Vijaykumar, and Ramandeep Singh, endorsing their potential to secure caps for the Indian cricket team. Kumble's remarks come at a pivotal moment, as these players gain recognition for their impressive domestic performances. Praising Yash Dayal, Kumble acknowledged the left-arm seamer's resilience and development. "I hope all three get an opportunity to play for the Indian team because they have all excelled at the domestic level. Yash Dayal, especially after conceding those five sixes to Rinku Singh, has made a strong comeback, which speaks volumes about his character and his capabilities. He's an exceptional left-arm seamer who moves the ball both ways. He's also honed his skills in death-over bowling and performed impressively for RCB last season," Kumble commented on JioCinema's Insiders' Preview ahead of the SA v IND T20I Series.

David Warner To Make Captaincy Return After 6 Years. Set To Lead This Team

Australian star David Warner was on Wednesday appointed as captain of Big Bash League side Sydney Thunder, returning to a leadership role in Australian cricket six years after being implicated in the ball-tampering scandal on a tour of South Africa. His lifetime leadership ban was overturned by Cricket Australia last month, paving the way for his captaincy before he bids goodbye to competitive cricket. He retired from the international game after Australia elimination in the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean in June. Warner, 38, served a one-year ban from the game for his involvement in the Newlands ball-tampering scandal in 2018 alongside Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft.
