CARDIFF: Wales have got a boost with the return of Alex Cuthbert and Johnny Williams from injury, with both available for Saturday's World Cup warm-up test against South Africa, officials said on Monday (Aug 14), but there is concern over new captain Dewi Lake.
After India's shock 3-2 loss to West Indies in the T20I series, former Pakistan capatain Salman Butt said that such a defeat will surely dent the confidence of the Hardik Pandya-led side. Brandon King's superb unbeaten 85-run knock helped the Caribbean team to register an eight-wicket win over India in the series-deciding fifth T20I in Lauderhill, Florida on Sunday. The Rovman Powell-led side won the first two matches before India bounced back to level the score. In the final game, Windies dominated India and registered a comfortable victory.
Nepal on Monday announced a 17-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup with all-rounder Rohit Paudel as captain of a team that also features former Delhi Capitals spinner Sandeep Lamichhane. The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) took to its social media handles to announce the squad for the tournament that will be jointly organised by Sri Lanka and Pakistan. CAN also said that the team would be undergoing a week-long preparatory camp in Pakistan, where it would be playing matches against PCB-designated teams.
Team India miserably failed with both bat and ball during the fifth T20I against West Indies as the hosts clinched an eight-wicket win on Sunday. With this win, West Indies also claimed the five-match series with 3-2 scoreline. It was a disappointing day for the Indian side as West Indies chased down the target of 166 in just 18 overs. After the loss, Indian players, especially skipper Hardik Pandya have been facing immense criticism from former cricketers and fans for the dismal performance.
Captain Jack Leaning insisted Kent’s decision to bat first was down to the pitch at Beckenham rather than a winning formula.
India's ICC trophy drought remains one of the biggest mysteries for the global cricketing spectrum considering the talent pool the team has. While the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, etc. are among the top players in the world, the ICC trophy continues to evade the team. Even captains of the stature of Kohli and Rohit haven't succeeded in getting India the success they desire. For Pakistan great Rashid Latif, the ICC trophy absence is more down to 'internal issues'.
After being 0-2 down in the 5-match T20I series against West Indies, Hardik Pandya's Indian team bounced back to win the next two matches in convincing fashion, making it 2-2, with just the 5th and the final match to go. After the West Indies leg of the series, both the teams arrived in the United States of America where Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal stole th show with the bat. India skipper Hardik opened up on the dramatic turnaround in the team's fortunes, explaining his style of leadership.
