Can't Beg People To Play For West Indies, Says Dejected Head Coach Phil Simmons

"I don't think that I should be begging people to play for the West Indies," said the team's dejected chief coach Phil Simmons. The former opener expressed his disappointment even as the board struggles to zero in on their best squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, with most cricketers either playing franchise league elsewhere or out injured. "It hurts. There's no other way to put it. But what can you do? I don't think that I should be begging people to play for their countries. I think if you want to represent West Indies, you will make yourself available," Simmons was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

IPL 2022: Knew hard length would work against Andre Russell, says LSG's Avesh Khan after win over KKR

Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) pacer Avesh Khan, who was adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant performance against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday, said that the idea was to go as fast as he could on a hard length against a red-hot Andre Russell. A superb show by the LSG pace attack led by Avesh Khan (3/19) and Jason Holder (3/31) helped the side clinch a thumping 75-run win over KKR here at the MCA Stadium. It was an extremely forgettable day at work for KKR as only Aaron Finch (14), Andre Russell (45) and Sunil Narine (22) among their batting line-up could touch double figures, and the side surrendered miserably against the LSG attack.

It was an extremely forgettable day at work for Knight Riders as none of its batters except Finch, Russell and Narine could touch double figures and the side surrendered helplessly to the LSG attack.

One Over, 5 Runs, 4 Wickets - Andre Russell Sets This New IPL Record But Can't Save KKR's Day

Till the time Andre Russell is at the ground, one can be rest assured about the entertainment quotient. It wasn't any different during Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) match against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. The West Indies allrounder performed both with the ball and the bat but could not take his team to victory as KKR failed to chase a 157-run target. It was the two-time champions' fifth loss in eight matches as they find themselves in the bottom half of the table.

IPL 2022, MI vs KKR, Match Highlights: Pat Cummins cracker blasts out Mumbai Indians

Pat Cummins stole Suryakumar Yadav’s thunder to give Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) a five-wicket win against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. MI skipper Rohit Sharma must be wondering what went wrong after staying on course for their first victory in this IPL till a better part of the match. The skipper had his plan ready to stop KKR dangerman Andre Russell and MI managed to get the West Indian out cheaply too. But very few had thought of Cummins to come out in flying colours with the bat in his first match in this IPL season. The Australian Test skipper displayed amazing power-hitting to bring up the joint-quickest 50 of the IPL, off just 14 balls. He hit four sixes, two fours and a two to collect 35 runs off the 16th over bowled by Daniel Sams to take the side home with 24 balls remaining. Lokesh Rahul had also taken 14 balls for his fifty for Punjab against Delhi in Mohali on April 8, 2018.
