West Indies Penalized For Slow Over-Rate, Road To India 2023 Suffers A Blow

The direct qualification road to ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 for the West Indies cricket team seems more distant now after two Super League points were deducted in connection with slow over-rate in the third ODI match against New Zealand.

The call was made by the match referee Richie Richardson even after allowances for the slow rate were considered.

Yuvraj Singh told me 'when you're set, look to bat through': Shubman Gill

Zimbabwe here. Gill on Monday slammed 130 off 97 balls with the help of 15 boundaries and one six to steer India to a 13-run win and a 3-0 series sweep against Zimbabwe.

Bavuma has 'acceptance' over scrapped Aussie tour despite Proteas' World Cup complications

India must continue with their aggressive batting approach: Ravi Shastri

India's conservative approach at the start of the innings had contributed to their early exit from the T20 World Cup last year. The tournament was Shastri's last assignment as India head coach.

If Virat Kohli gets a fifty in the very first game, mouths will be shut for the rest of the tournament: Ravi Shastri

Ravi Shastri has claimed that if talismanic India batter Virat Kohli gets a fifty in the side's match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup on August 28, then the mouths of critics will be quiet for the rest of the tournament. If he features in India's Asia Cup opener against Pakistan, dubbed as the 'greatest rivalry' in cricketing world, it will also mark Kohli's 100th T20I appearance. Kohli returns to the Indian team for the Asia Cup in T20I format, having last featured for the national team during the tour of England in July. He was then rested for white-ball tour of West Indies and ODIs against Zimbabwe. Kohli has been in a prolonged lean patch, having not scored a century in international cricket since November 2019.

Virat Kohli is tired and running out of time, says former Zimbabwe all-rounder Dirk Viljoen

Virat Kohli will be back in action at the upcoming Asia Cup. It's fair to say that most, if not all, eyes will be on Kohli, who was rested for the tours of West Indies and Zimbabwe. The upcoming Asia Cup, starting August 27, in many ways will be a testing ground for the selectors to assess Indian talent ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. The million dollar question is - if Virat doesn't come good with the bat with consistent high scores etc, will his spot in the T20 World Cup squad be in danger? WHAT THE NUMBERS SAYKohli hasn't scored an international century since November 2019, but it would be incorrect and unfair to say that he hasn't been among the runs for his team. Kohli, who has 23,726 international runs in 463 matches (ODIs, Tests, and T20Is), is fourth on the list of Indian Test run getters, since his last international century, after Rishabh Pant (1369 runs in 20 matches), Cheteshwar Pujara (1052 runs in 21 matches) and Rohit Sharma (996 runs in 13 matches). Kohli in this period has played 18 Tests (since November 2019) and scored 872 runs at an average of 27.25, including 6 fifties.
