HYDERABAD, India : India picked a three-pronged spin attack but did not completely disregard the need for speed against England in the opening test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.
Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood, who has been tipped to create ripples in auction room, will be available for IPL 2024 only from the first week of May, as per the BCCI intimation to the teams. Hazlewood, who played an integral role in Australia's recent ODI World Cup win, will be away in March and April as the pacer and his wife are expecting their first child.
England head coach Matthew Mott has urged fans to be patient with England's new-look white-ball team, considering it is work in progress and stressing that they have had only three opportunities together to play as a group. A new-look, revamped England side succumbed to a four-wicket defeat to West Indies in the third and final ODI to lose the series 2-1 after a miserable ICC Cricket World Cup campaign, which saw the then-defending champions win only three matches out of nine and finish at seventh place.
Batsman Harry Brook has been added to the England squad for the four-match one-day series against New Zealand starting on Friday.
LONDON: England all-rounder Moeen Ali is in line to return to action having kept his place in the squad announced by the ECB for the third Ashes test starting at Headingley on Thursday.
Teenage leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been added to England's squad for the second Ashes Test against Australia as cover for Moeen Ali. Ahmed, 18, became the youngest man to play Test cricket for England when he was picked to play in Pakistan in December. The Leicestershire player made an eye-catching debut for Ben Stokes's side in Karachi, taking seven wickets in the match and 5-48 in the second innings. But Ahmed has taken just six wickets in seven matches in the second division of the County Championship this season, at an average of more than 67.
Spin bowler Rehan Ahmed has been added to England’s Ashes squad as cover for Moeen Ali. Ali — who took three wickets in the first Test defeat against Australia — is struggling with a finger injury.
England great Mike Gatting has expressed surprise at Moeen Ali's dramatic Ashes recall after nearly two years out of Test cricket, warning that Australia will look to target the off-spinning all-rounder. Ali, 35, was persuaded to end his retirement from Tests by skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum this week after regular spinner Jack Leach was forced out of the five-match series with a stress fracture in his back. Gatting, a gutsy batsman who led England to victory Down Under in the 1986-87 Ashes, said he found the recall hard to fathom.
