Former India skipper Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will be rested for the third Twenty20 international against West Indies and the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, a board member told AFP on Saturday.
West Indies here on Sunday. With Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant given a 10-day break, the home team is set to finally include the gifted Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the playing XI. Under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, India secured their third successive series win with an eight-run win over the West Indies in the second T20I here on Friday.
Australia clinched the five-match Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka with two games to spare. With the series already in the bag, Australia made a couple of changes to their playing XI but even in the dead rubber the Australians didn't let their standards drop in the field. During the Sri Lankan innings, captain Aaron Finch and wicketkeeper Matthew Wade showed great presence of mind to run out Maheesh Theekshana. The duo combined brilliantly as Theekshana's valiant dive went in vain.
BCCI has given senior batter Virat Kohli a 10-day break from the Indian team's bio-bubble as he left for home before the third T20 international against the West Indies scheduled in Kolkata on Sunday. As reported by PTI on Friday, Kohli will not be playing in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka beginning on February 24 in Lucknow, followed by two more games at Dharamsala on February 26 and 27.
Sarfaraz Khan has made it difficult for the selectors to ignore him when they pick the squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka in the near future. Nothing — not even a pandemic which halted the Ranji Trophy for two years —seems to have put a brake on this unstoppable ‘run-machine’ who seems to be scoring ‘daddy hundreds’ in the tournament for fun. On Friday, Sarfaraz launched into the 2021-22 season in grand style, slamming a magnificent 275 (401b, 30x4, 7x6) to help Mumbai post a formidable 544 for seven declared against Saurashtra on Day Two of their Ranji Trophy Group D clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Australia's scorching-hot form has created exactly the kind of problems the selectors want heading towards the T20 World Cup defence.
Star allrounder Glenn Maxwell hopes a poor crowd for Australia's Twenty20 against Sri Lanka was more to do with COVID-19 and not with the public's loss of appetite for international cricket.
Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell powered Australia to a six-wicket win and their fourth straight Twenty20 victory over Sri Lanka at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.
