Pakistan Star, Waiting For His 1st ODI Cap, Told You Already Made Debut, Won't Be Getting Cap

Pakistan all-rounder Kamran Ghulam opened up about being denied his debut cap ahead of the 1st ODI against Australia in Melbourne earlier this week. Ghulam, who slammed a century on his Test debut last month, featured at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Monday as Pakistan lost the series opener by a narrow margin. Prior to his Test debut against England last month, where he had replaced star batter Babar Azam who was dropped from the team owing to poor form, Ghulam had only played one international match before.

"Lock The Kit Bag Away...": Ricky Ponting Suggests Babar Azam To Take Virat Kohli's Way To Regain Form

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has suggested former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to replicate Virat Kohli's approach in a bid to rejuvenate his lost form. Babar was rested for the last two Tests against England after his poor form. Pakistan won both matches and secured the series 2-1, the first under Shan Masood's rein. In 55 Tests, Babar has scored 3,997 runs at an average of 43.92. However, he had not scored a Test half-century in 18 innings stretching back to late 2022 and has seen a dip in form in a year where he was made captain and then left the post after Pakistan suffered a group-stage exit in this year's T20 World Cup in June.

India A Pin Hopes On Dhruv Jurel Again; Top Order Collapses After KL Rahul's Bizarre Dismissal

KL Rahul's horror run with the bat continued as he got out in a bizarre fashion to leave India A at a shaky 73 for five on the second day of the second unofficial Test against Australia A here on Friday. Seeking to open the batting for India in case skipper Rohit Sharma skips the first Test against Australia in Perth, Rahul endured a disastrous outing in the tune-up to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and managed just 14 runs across two innings, having got out for 10 in India A's second innings.

"There Is Space For Cheteshwar Pujara": Ex-India Star's Big Message For Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma

India will need someone like KL Rahul or Abhimanyu Easwaran, who can play conventional style of cricket, during the challenging tour of Australia and there is space for veteran Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test side, reckons former batter Robin Uthappa. The Indian batting lineup, brimming with stroke players, has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the five-match Test series Down Under. The pressure to play high-quality cricket and deliver has mounted in the wake of humiliating 0-3 whitewash by New Zealand at home. "We need someone defensive, someone who can play conventional, traditional Test cricket. As of now, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran are the ones who can play that role," Uthappa, expert JioCinema & Sports18, said in a virtual media interaction.

Virat Kohli Calls This Super Star "A Freak And A Madman". Reason Has World Cup Connection

Australia's star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has received a massive praise from India stalwart Virat Kohli. In the foreword section of Maxwell's recently-released autobiography 'The Showman', Kohli hailed him for his historic double century against Afghanistan in a 2023 Cricket World Cup match. Chasing a target of 292 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Australia were tottering at 91 for 7 at one stage. Afghanistan could have sensed victory, but Maxwell's terrific 201 not out pulled off an incredible victory for the chasing team. The Australian star played the knock despite fighting a cramp and that made the innings all more special.
