Virat Kohli, Babar Azam To Play In Same Team? This Tournament May Return After 2 Decades

The Afro-Asia Cup, last held nearly two decades ago, is on the verge of revival as the Africa Cricket Association (ACA) considers an alliance with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to resurrect the series. The ACA, which convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday, has set an ambitious agenda, including restructuring the association and expanding competitive opportunities across the continent. At the top of its list is rekindling the Afro-Asia Cup and launching a new T20 league — the Africa Premier League — modelled on the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Afro-Asia Cup is a unique cricket series that features teams from Asia and Africa, bringing together players from cricketing powerhouses and developing nations alike. The tournament has only been held twice, in 2005 and 2007, and has not seen a third edition since, despite strong initial fan support.

'Hope To Stay On Top Of Him": Australia Pacer On KL Rahul Ahead Of Border Gavaskar Trophy

Australian pacer Scott Boland wants to extend the barren run of KL Rahul and keep him under pressure ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when he faces the Indian batter in the four-day A-Team match in Melbourne from Thursday. Rahul along with wicketkeeper batter Dhruv Jurel flew early to Australia, and will appear for India A in the second four-day game at the MCG. “I was lucky to bowl to him in a Test over in India a couple of years ago but it'll be nice to play against him in our backyard,” Boland was quoted saying by ESPNCricinfo.

"Not Criticism Of Tim But...": Ex-New Zealand Star's Massive Comparison Of Southee And Tom Latham's Captaincy

Former batter-turned-coach Craig Cumming feels that Tom Latham's captaincy was one of the driving forces behind New Zealand's first-ever Test series win in India, snapping the hosts home streak of 18 straight series triumphs since a 2-1 loss to England in 2012. With their historic win, New Zealand also became the first team to inflict a series sweep on India in their home for the first time since South Africa's 2-0 win in 1999/2000 and overall the fourth side to whitewash India in a series of 3 or more Tests after England, Australia and the West Indies.

"India Can't Beat Australia 4-0": Sunil Gavaskar's Mega Prediction With WTC Final Spot At Stake

Legendary Indian batter Sunil Gavaskar has made his prediction for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia. India need to win at least four Tests out of their remaining five in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle to guarantee qualification to the final without having to rely on other results. Gavaskar has stated that he does not believe Team India will be capable of beating Australia 4-0 in Australia. However, Gavaskar also mentioned that India's focus should be solely on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and not on the possibility of making the WTC final."India cannot beat Australia 4-0 in the Test series, I'd be very, very I'd be over the moon. If they do that, I would be over the moon if they do that. But 4-0. India can win 3-1, 4-0 is... don't talk about the World Test Championship final. Now just focus on trying to win the series in Australia. Never mind whether you win 1-0,2-0,3-0, 3-1,2-1. But go and win. Because that is how all of us Indian cricket fans are going to be back to feeling good again," said Gavaskar, speaking to India Today.
