Ravindra Jadeja One Wicket Away From Claiming Mammoth Record In Test Cricket

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is on the brink of a huge record in Test cricket. The star player could thus top a list a list that includes two other Indian greats -- Kapil Dev and Ravichandran Ashwin. Jadeja needs only one wicket to complete 300 scalps in Test cricket. If he manages to achieve the feat in India's Kanpur Test vs Bangladesh, it will make him the fastest player from the nation to complete 3000 runs and 300 wickets in Test cricket. Overall, Jadeja will be at the second spot as Ian Botham, who took 72 matches to reach the milestone, is at the helm. The ongoing second Test vs Bangladesh is Jadeja's 73rd game in the format.

"If 100 Million People Are Angry...": Shakib Al Hasan Receives Big 'Security' Warning

Bangladesh cricket team all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been asked to clear his political stance before asking for security in order to play his final Test match at home. Shakib announced his retirement ahead of the second Test match against India and said that he wishes to play his last game against South Africa in Dhaka. However, he was named in the FIR of a murder case and he said that he could not travel to Bangladesh without the government assuring him of his safety. Bangladesh Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud reacted to Shakib's request and said that he will receive security like any cricketer. However, he added that Shakib's role as a former politician also cannot be ignored.

India vs Bangladesh: No More International Games In Kanpur After 'Washout' Row? Report Says...

Despite a rain-free morning and bright sunshine later in the day, day three's play of the second Test between India and Bangladesh was called off without a ball being bowled at the Green Park Stadium. The unexpected cause? A ‘wet outfield'. Frustration grew as both teams remained at their hotel, while match officials inspected the field three times, all without covers. But there was no play, leading to two days now lost due to rain. Shiv Kumar, the pitch curator of the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) maintained that everything was under control in Kanpur. But he admitted to having confusion regarding the match officials' reservations. “They gave us three different time for inspection but never told us what is the issue. Which area was wet or whatever is the problem. I told them that you can start the match but if you have any concern let me know,” he told IANS.

How Did India's 156.7 Kmph Pace Sensation Mayank Yadav Earn His Maiden Call-Up? Coach Says...

As the rising pace sensation Mayank Yadav earned his maiden India call-up after being named in the squad for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, starting October 6, his coach Devender Sharma said the young pacer is eager to perform at his best after missing months of competitive cricket. After a prolonged injury layoff, Yadav has been cleared by VVS Laxman, head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA), to play in the series. Sharma feels that his ward will make a strong impact on his India debut.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz Earns T20I Recall As Bangladesh Announce Squad For India Series

Off-spin all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has earned a recall to the Bangladesh men's T20I for the upcoming series against India, starting on October 6 in Gwalior. Apart from him, left-handed opening batter Parvez Hossain Emon and left-arm spinner Rakibul Hasan have also been called up to the squad, while Soumya Sarkar has been left out.

India vs Bangladesh: "So Embarrassing" - Internet Fumes As Wet Outfield Spoils Play In Kanpur Test

The day three of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium was abandoned on Sunday without a ball being bowled due to wet outfield. Though it did not rain so far today, there were still some wet patches in the ground, including one near the bowler's run up area. The outfield could not be dried out despite the covers being peeled off. Even the second day of action was abandoned due to rain. If India does not get a win in this Test, it could make their journey towards a hat-trick of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final in the UK a little more tight, requiring them to beat New Zealand in three-match home Test series (from October 16 onwards) and Australia in five-Test series away from home (from November 22 onwards) by much bigger scorelines and margins.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a 15-member T20I squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh following the end of the ongoing two-match Test series. The absence of some of the performing stars from the team, particularly Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan, saw fans vent their anger on social media, taking a swipe at selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar for the decision. Right-handed batter Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead the team in the shortest format of the game while Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma were picked as the wicketkeeper-batters in the side. But, the absence of Ruturaj and Ishan left fans completely baffled.

India vs Bangladesh Kanpur Test: Wet Outfield Wipes Out Play For Second Consecutive Day

No play was possible for the second consecutive day in the second Test between India and Bangladesh due to a wet outfield at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Overnight rain had caused a delay to the start of action but even as the sun was shining bright around 2:00pm and there were no soggy patches on the ground, the officials decided to call off the play. Almost eight sessions have been lost in the game due to persistent rain that has played havoc with the final match of the two-game series. Questions on the drainage system used at the venue have been duly raised.
