India vs Australia: Sunil Gavaskar Wants Team India Management To Answer This In Next Presser

With Mohammed Shami testing positive for COVID-19 shortly before India's home T20I series against Australia, Umesh Yadav - who had last played a T20I in 2018 - was called up as a replacement. He was also directly fast-tracked to the playing XI with Jasprit Bumrah not risked in the opening match, ahead of Deepak Chahar, who was in the squad and is a standby player for the T20 World Cup that starts next month. Umesh picked up two wickets in his two overs, but was also rather expensive as India lost the series opener.

"This Is Where MS Was So Good": Ravi Shastri After Team India Fails To Spot Cameron Green's LBW Opportunity

It was a forgettable day on the field for the Indian cricket team on Tuesday as they lost to Australia by four wickets. A tame Indian bowling attack gave a poor account of themselves as they failed to defend a 208-run total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4-0-52-0), Harshal Patel (4-0-49-0), Yuzvendra chahal (3.2-0-42-1), Umesh Yadav (2-0-27-2), Hardik Pandya (2-0-22-0) all leaked runs. What was even more baffling was Team India's inability to spot a LBW opportunity during the first T20I of the three-match series.

ICC lays 'Mankading' to rest

New playing conditions in force from October 1NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council's (ICC) chief executives' committee has ratified a slew of changes to the playing conditions which will come into effect from October 1, the most prominent among them being a belated attempt to destigmatize the controversial practice of 'Mankading', or running out a batter at the non-striker's end. For decades, the move, which takes its name from the legendary Vinoo Mankad's similar run out of Bill Brown during India's 1948 tour of Australia, has been considered against the 'spirit of the game' even though it is perfectly legal according to cricket's laws.

"Pehle Se Hi Tay Kar Diya?": Sunil Gavaskar Angry With 'Harshal Will Get Hit In Australia' Comment

While the Indian cricket team squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup bears a tried and tested look, there were a couple of omissions which stuck out for some experts. Former Indian cricket team player and 1983 World Cup player Krishnamachari Srikkanth felt that Mohammed Shami should have been included in the main squad in place of Harshal Patel. "If I was the chairman of the selection committee, (Mohammad) Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy's got the real action, the guy's got bounce, he can bare the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel," Srikkanth said on Star Sports.
