DHAKA: A Bangladeshi cricketer was embroiled in controversy Monday over misogynistic social media posts condemning working women, just days after making a brilliant international debut.
India vs Australia 2023, Team India Squad Announcement: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to announce the squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia, starting September 22. The press conference for the announcement of the squad will start at 8:30pm IST.
Former India batter Gautam Gambhir feels Shreyas Iyer won't be part of the World Cup squad, having not played much cricket for the entirety of 2023. Iyer has been out of the side since March this year when he had suffered a lower back stress. He returned to the playing XI for the Asia Cup group stage match against Pakistan. However, later in the tournament, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said that he had a back spasm. Gambhir urged the management not to pick injury-prone players for a big tournament like World Cup.
The Asia Cup 2023 final between Indian cricket team and Sri Lanka cricket team turned into a one-sided affair for the Rohit Sharma-led team, thanks to Mohammed Siraj. The 29-year-old right-arm pacer bowled the spell of his career so far as he scalped six wickets for 21 runs. He is now only the fourth Indian to scalp six wickets in an ODI after the great Anl Kumble, Jasprit Bumrah and Stuart Binny. Siraj's fiery spell consisted one over in which he scalped four wickets - the first time an Indian has done so.
India outplayed Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final of Asia Cup 2023 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led side clinched a record-extending 8th Asia Cup title, thanks to Mohammed Siraj's sensational show in bowling. With the help of Siraj's 6 for 21 in 7 overs, India bundled out Sri Lanka for 50 runs after skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to bat. Things went really well for the Indian cricket team at the continental event, which concluded with less than a month to go for the Cricket World Cup.
The Indian cricket team received a massive boost ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2023 as the Rohit Sharma-led side defeated Sri Lanka comprehensively in the final to clinch the Asia Cup 2023 title on Sunday. The win made Rohit Sharma one of the most successful captains in Asia Cup history as it was his second title and 10th match win overall. Former India opener Gautam Gambhir believes that there is no doubt currently over Rohit's captaincy but warned that a bad World Cup outing can change it.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has admitted that veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin is in the scheme of things for the World Cup, following Axar Patel's injury. Axar suffered a left quadriceps strain during India's Asia Cup Super 4 game against Bangladesh last week. Washington Sundar replaced Axar in the squad, and was shipped straight into the playing XI for the final against Sri Lanka on Sunday. Rohit revealed he has been in constant touch with Ashwin, and the veteran spin-bowling all-rounder is in the loop as far as India's World Cup squad is concerned.
Following their victory in the Asia Cup 2023, India captain Rohit Sharma revealed on Sunday that batter Shreyas Iyer is nearing full fitness, rating him as "99 per cent" match-ready, signalling his probable availability for upcoming matches. However, the captain anticipates that Axar Patel will be absent for the first two ODIs against Australia later this month. Iyer was featured in just one game of the Asia Cup -against Pakistan- and then missed out after suffering back spasms. Even though Iyer was injured for a large portion of the Asia Cup, he has accomplished most of the goals the team management had set for him as he recovered and tried to demonstrate his match fitness for the World Cup, which is now less than three weeks away.
