Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli In Focus As India Look To End Title Drought
Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will look to end India's global title drought as the star duo step out for what is likely to be their final World Cup appearance. Rohit, 37, and Kohli, 35, have long been the twin torchbearers for the hopes of their cricket-mad nation, which last saw a major title triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy. India made the final of last year's ODI World Cup at home but lost to Australia in front of a crestfallen packed house at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
Unpredictable Pakistan Aim For 'Third Time Lucky' At T20 World Cup
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is hoping it is third time lucky for his side at the T20 World Cup after finishing losing semi-finalists in 2021 and runners-up a year later. Pakistan's build-up to the tournament, which takes place in West Indies and the USA, has been chaotic, with Azam replacing Shaheen Shah Afridi as captain barely three months before it gets underway. They squeaked a 2-2 T20 series draw at home against a depleted New Zealand in April before heading to Ireland where they slumped to defeat in the opener before coming back to win that series 2-1.
Bangladesh Skipper Calls For Better Wickets Ahead Of T20 World Cup
Bangladesh can only hope to improve their lacklustre T20 World Cup record once they get better pitches at home, new captain Najmul Hossain Shanto told AFP ahead of the showpiece tournament. The South Asian nation is one of nine countries to have played all T20 World Cups since the tournament began in 2007 but is alone in never having made it to the knockout stage. Najmul, appointed all-format captain in February aged just 25 to replace newly minted politician Shakib Al Hasan, blamed their failures on home pitches ill-suited to the typical run feasts seen elsewhere in the 20-over format.
England And Pakistan's T20 World Cup Preparations Blighted By Fresh Wash-Out
England and Pakistan's T20 World Cup preparations were again dented by bad weather as the third international in Cardiff on Tuesday was abandoned without a ball being bowled. The woeful scenes in the Welsh capital followed another complete washout in the first of this four-match T20 series at Headingley. England remain 1-0 up with one to play at The Oval on Thursday after a 23-run win in at Edgbaston but this latest abandonment came just a week before they begin their T20 World Cup title defence against Scotland in Barbados on June 4.
