Rocky Flintoff, the 16-year-old son of former England all-rounder Andrew, became the youngest player to hit a century for the England Under-19 side during a test match with Sri Lanka on Thursday.
It's been more than a week since India defeated England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in Guyana, avenging their 10-wicket defeat to the same side two years back at the same stage. The Rohit Sharma-led side also defeated South Africa last Saturday to clinch the T20 World Cup title in Barbados. Following Afghanistan's crushing loss to South Africa in the other semi-final, former England captain Michael Vaughan had accused the organisers for favouring India, questioning the scheduling of the tournament.
Former England batter and skipper Michael Vaughan has said that the ICC T20 World Cup triumph was a perfect way for veterans Virat Kohli, skipper Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to bow out of the T20I format and there is plenty of talent to replace them. Vaughan was speaking at the Club Prairie Fire Podcast on Monday. He said that though the tournament was the perfect send-off for the aforementioned trio, they could have won more white ball trophies among themselves.
Fifteen years after England duo of Michael Vaughan and Andrew Flintoff ended their Test careers, their sons are likely to begin their journey in the traditional format at the age-group level in two Tests against Sri Lanka. Archie Vaughan, son of the former Ashes-winning England captain, was on Tuesday named in a 14-member squad that also includes 16-year-old Rocky Flintoff, who has already made his international debut in youth ODIs. Family connection runs deep in the squad that also features Farhan Ahmed, brother of current England leg-spinner Rehan and Jaydn Denly, the 17-year-old nephew of ex-England batter Joe Denly.
The entire India might take a bit longer to get over from the cricket team's recent triumph in T20 World Cup 2024. India edged past South Africa by 7 runs in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Barbados on June 29 to clinch an ICC title after 11 years. It was India's second T20 World Cup title overall, and first after 17 years. After coming to India, the World Cup-winning team got a rousing reception. Among the many memorable moments was the picture of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli -- the two stalwarts of Indian cricket -- holding the trophy together during a victory parade in an open bus in Mumbai.
Team India broke their 10-year drought of reaching the T20 World Cup final, as they defeated England by 68 runs in the semi-final of the 2024 edition on Thursday. India's comprehensive victory sent a wave of jubilation all across the globe, with Indians in every nook and corner celebrating the accomplishment. However, former England captain Michael Vaughan triggered a conspiracy theory, suggesting Guyana was an excellent ground for the Indian team, hence the result. But, India great Harbhajan Singh was in no mood to sit back and digest Vaughan's verdict.
India thrashed England in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 and marched into the final after a hiatus of 10 long years. Asked to bat first, India posted a total of 171/7 in 20 overs, with skipper Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav scoring 57 and 47 runs respectively. Later, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel claimed their respective three-wicket hauls as India bundled out England for 103 and won the semi-final by 68 runs. India will be facing South Africa in the final on Saturday (IST).
The Afghanistan cricket team, reaching the semi-final on the back of a resounding show in the T20 World Cup 2024, produced a horrific performance in the semi-final with the bat, scoring just 56 runs against South Africa. The total turned out to be the lowest in the history of the T20 World Cup semi-finals, and also the lowest for the Afghans in their T20 International journey. As Afghanistan's poor performance gave South Africa a golden chance to seal T20 World Cup final berth, former England captain Michael Vaughan blamed the 'India factor'.
