Former South African batting legend AB de Villiers opened up on Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan's absence from international cricket following a break, saying he himself has been through this situation and there should be proper communication between a player and team management/board. De Villiers' comments come as Ishan continues to remain absent from international cricket, having last played in a T20I match against Australia at home in late November. Following that, he asked team management to release him from the Test squad for the South Africa series happening in December-January due to personal reasons. The 25-year-old was in the T20I squad in South Africa in December 2023 but did not take part in any of the three games. He also did not take part in the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
After a long wait, Sarfaraz Khan finally made his India debut on Thursday. The right-handed batter was named in the playing XI of the Rohit Sharma-led side for the third Test match against England in Rajkot. Sarfaraz made the most of the opportunity with a 62-run knock off 66 balls. He batted with positive intent and took the England bowlers to the cleaners with some really good shots. Sarfaraz raced to his fifty in 48 balls before his knock came to a misfortunate end. The batter was run out after a horrible mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja in the middle.
Fast bowler Kyle Jamieson faces another long spell on the sidelines after suffering a stress fracture in his back, New Zealand Cricket announced Saturday. Jamieson has been ruled out of cricket for at least six months after scans revealed the injury following New Zealand's first Test win over South Africa in Mount Maunganui this month. The towering seamer took match figures of 6-93 but later complained of back pain, which ruled him out of the second Test. The injury is in the same location as a fracture which required an operation in February last year but team medical staff have decided against another operation.
