Ignored India Star, Snubbed In IPL Auction, To Play County Cricket With England Test Series In Mind

India all-rounder Shardul Thakur will play seven matches for County team Essex in Division One from the beginning of the 2025 season, the club announced on Tuesday. The 33-year-old Thakur, who has so far played 11 Tests, 47 ODIs and 25 T20Is over the last eight years, will be playing in the English country circuit for the first time. Thakur has been in rich form both with the bat and the ball, having scored 51 and 119 for his second First-Class century last month against Jammu and Kashmir, followed by a brisk 84 against Meghalaya in the Ranji Trophy group stage.

"Like A Bad Dream": Terror Attack On Sri Lanka In Pakistan Revisited By Inzamam-Ul-Haq Ahead Of Champions Trophy

Pakistan will take the field on Wednesday, hoping to get their Champions Trophy 2025 campaign off to a winning start. Pakistan, who are hosting the tournament barring India matches (to be played in Dubai), were beaten by the Kiwis last week in the final of a tri-nation series, at the same venue. Pakistan last hosted an ICC event in 1996, the ODI World Cup alongside India and Sri Lanka. However, the event holds big significance for Pakistan. If everything goes as planned, then it will be a big step towards convincing the world that Pakistan is a safe place to play cricket.

"Worst Day Of My Life": Ex-PCB Director Recalls The Horrors Of 2009 Attack On Sri Lankan Team

Former captain Wasim Bari is glad to see the return of a global cricketing event to Pakistan through the ICC Champions Trophy, and hopes that the nightmarish days after the militant attack on Sri Lankan team in 2009 are forgotten forever. Pakistan could not host international cricket for 10 years after that gruesome day, and were forced to play their home matches in the UAE. Bari was serving as the Director in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) under the Chairmanship of late Ejaz Butt when the attack took place on March 3 near the Liberty roundabout close to the Gaddafi stadium.

Australia SWOT Analysis, Champions Trophy: Battered By injuries, World Champions Can't Be Ignored

Two-time winners Australia will be on a quest to regain the Champions Trophy title after a gap of 15 years. They had won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2009 but have failed to reach the finals in the 2013 and 2017 editions, after which the event was discontinued. For the 2025 edition, the reigning 50-over World Cup winners are placed in the four-team Group B which also includes England, South Africa, and Afghanistan. Australia will open their campaign with a clash with arch-rivals England at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on February 22.

"Convincing World Pakistan Is Safe": Ramiz Raja As Country Hosts First Major Event In 29 Years

Pakistan will host a first major cricket tournament in almost three decades from Wednesday in a move hailed as a landmark just a few years after the country was off-limits because of security fears. Staging the Champions Trophy in three cities over the next two-and-a-half weeks will be a huge boost to the South Asian nation's reputation if authorities can pull it off smoothly and safely. "Convincing the world that Pakistan is a safe country and that it is capable of delivering such a global event from an administration point of view took serious hard work and convincing," former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja told AFP.

"Not Dissimilar To Jasprit Bumrah": 'Cheating' Accusation Against Australia Star Triggers Debate

Australia spinner Matt Kuhnemann found himself in a bit of a turmoil after Sri Lanka complained against his action in recently-concluded Test series. Former Australia captain Tim Paine jumped into the chatter around the subject, suggesting Kuhnemann's action isn't too dissimilar to India's pace icon Jasprit Bumrah. Paine didn't welcome an accusation, as big as 'throwing' being made against the young Australian spinner. "I think there's a bit of flexion, not dissimilar to a Jasprit Bumrah," Paine said.
