Hosts Australia ready to click in T20 World Cup defence

Aaron Finch's men when they flick the switch to tournament mode this week. An underdone Australia gelled superbly during last year's triumph in the United Arab Emirates and 14 of that 15-man squad will bid for back-to-back titles on home pitches over the next few weeks. Since blanking twice champions West Indies at the start of the month, Australia have lost two warm-up matches to England and another against India in Brisbane on Monday as selectors tinker and players are rested. Finch made a welcome return to form with a half-century against India, though, and Australia had another burden lifted on Tuesday when Pat Cummins was confirmed as captain of the one-day side, an issue that threatened to become a distraction through the tournament.

MELBOURNE : Defending champions Australia have had a patchy buildup to their T20 World Cup defence but few would dare underestimate Aaron Finch's men when they flick the switch to tournament mode this week.

Mitchell Starc Offers Alternative To Non-Striker's Run-Out After 'I Am Not Deepti' Incident Involving Jos Buttler

Despite numerous attempts by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the 'non-striker run-out' remains a questionable form of dismissal in the cricketing spectrum. When India's Deepti Sharma dismissed England's Charlie Dean in the manner, her action was portrayed in the bad light. Australia pacer Mitchell Starc, in a match against England, gave Jos Buttler a warning over not leaving his crease early while saying "I am not Deepti". Starc remains someone who is not a fan of the dismissal but also wants batters to remain inside the crease. He has now offered an alternative to this dismissal.

"Where's Virat Kohli?": ICC's New Video Featuring Indian Players Disappoints Fans

The ‘poster boy of Indian cricket' Virat Kohli is a name that doesn't need any introduction in the global cricketing spectrum. Kohli has been a big servant of the game for years and has given Indian cricket new dimensions both as a batter and a captain. He might not be the Indian skipper at present but he still remains one of the strongest pillars of the Indian team. However, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a video featuring a few stalwarts of the Indian team, Kohli was nowhere to be seen.

Rishabh Pant Spotted With Heavily Strapped Right Knee. Picture Goes Viral

India defeated Australia by 6 runs in their first of the two warm-up matches ahead of the start of their T20 World Cup campaign. To everyone's surprise Rishabh Pant did not come out to bat for India in the game despite the side losing 7 wickets while batting first against Australia in the game in Brisbane. While it was Dinesh Karthik who kept the wickets for India during bowling, Pant was spotted in the dugout with a heavy strapping and ice pack on his right knee.

Team India had a promising day as they defeated Australia by six runs in the warm-up match of the ongoing T20 World Cup on Monday. After posting a total of 186/7 in 20.0 overs, with KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav hitting half-centuries, the Rohit Sharma-led side bundled out Australia at 180, with Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, taking three and two wickets, respectively. Apart from all these triumphs, one thing which caught everyone's attention was Virat Kohli's brilliant throw, which ended up dismissing Tim David.

"Grow Up": Former India Batter Slams Mitchell Starc Over "I'm Not Deepti" Remark

India all-rounder Deepti Sharma recently ran England's Charlie Dean out at the non-striker's during a women's ODI at Lord's in September. Dean's dismissal sparked a debate on social media, with fans having a divided opinion regarding the mode of dismissal. While many consider that it is against the spirit of play, the Marylebone Cricket Club -- the custodians of the laws of cricket - had earlier this year moved the mode of dismissal from the 'unfair play' section of their laws to the 'run out' section.

Not a big fan of Mankading, says Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch is "not a big fan" of 'Mankading', a controversial dismissal where bowlers run out batters backing up at the non-strikers' end. Mankading, informally named after former India cricketer Vinoo Mankad, has been in the news of late after Deepti Sharma ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end for leaving her crease too early to hand a 3-0 ODI series sweep in England last month.
