Bigger boundaries in Australia gives bowlers license to attack: Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin feels the bigger boundaries in Australia will give the bowlers liberty to attack unlike smaller Indian grounds where one is forced to employ defensive tactics. India will be based in Perth for a week before they move to Brisbane for the ICC warm-up games ahead of the World Cup opener against Pakistan in Melbourne on October 23. Ashwin, who did not bowl in India's first warm up game against Western Australia on Monday, had also seen the England-Australia game here on Sunday alongside some of his teammates.
We have given Ishant Sharma an additional responsibility and he is enjoying it: Delhi head coach ahead of new season
Ishant Sharma is putting the hard yards in the nets and has wholeheartedly committed to the extra responsibility of mentoring the Delhi pacers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy beginning on Tuesday, team's new head coach Abhay Sharma said on Monday. A stalwart of 105 Tests, the 34-year-old will be probably making one last attempt for an India comeback when the domestic season gets underway for the Delhi team with their T20 opener against Manipur in Jaipur on Tuesday. The build up to the new season has not been ideal for Delhi who appointed former India U-19 and India A coach Sharma as head coach only 10 days ago.
T20 World Cup: Bowling attack without Jasprit Bumrah will make teams reconsider batting approach against India, says Sanjay Bangar
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels that opposition sides will reconsider their batting strategy because of the bowling attack not having Bumrah anymore. He added that in Bumrah's absence, he expects young left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh or either of Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar (if drafted in as an official replacement for Bumrah) to leave their mark in the showpiece event. "There were really small signs of concern, because when Jasprit Bumrah did not play the first match (against Australia at Mohali), then he played the second game (at Nagpur), and then suddenly he was rested (Bumrah played in Hyderabad but didn't play Thiruvananthapuram match due to back complaint). You suddenly start to think whether this is serious, because he had been out on rest and rehab for a long time, and he was somebody who was given a task of strengthening," said Bangar on 'Cricket Live' show on Star Sports.
T20 World Cup warm-up match: India beat Western Australia by 13 runs
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and a half-century from in-form Suryakumar Yadav powered India to a 13-run win over Western Australia in their ICC T20 World Cup warm-up match on Monday. With this win in Australian conditions, India's T20 WC preparations have got a big boost. Though batting was underwhelming to an extent, bowlers performed brilliantly to calm down some talks about the side's recent issues with the ball. Chasing 159, Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar got wickets of D'arcy Short and Ashton Turner while Arshdeep Singh also got two wickets.
Women's Asia Cup: India end group league campaign with crushing 9-wicket win over Thailand
Thailand for a paltry 37 before knocking off the runs in just six overs with nine wickets in hand to top the seven-team group league in the Women's Asia Cup, here on Monday. The emphatic win was India's fifth victory in six games, with the only defeat coming in a low-scoring match against arch-rivals Pakistan. India have 10 points from six games and are expected to be joined by Pakistan, Sri Lanka and one among Thailand and Bangladesh in the semifinals. Bangladesh have a match left and they need to just win it to enjoy a better net run-rate (+0.423 after 5 games) over Thailand (-0.949 in 6 games).
