"Bunch Of Kiwis Against The World": New Zealand Star On Series Win Against India

New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell on Friday said the third Test against India was "evenly poised" despite the hosts' collapsed, handing the advantage to the Kiwis after the opening day's play of the final match of the series here.

Najmul Hossain Shanto To Continue As Bangladesh Captain For ODI Series vs Afghanistan

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has named Najmul Hossain Shanto as captain for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in Sharjah next week, in a shakeup following Shanto's request to step down from all-format captaincy. The decision came after a discussion between Shanto and BCB president Faruque Ahmed on Thursday following Bangladesh's recent Test in Chattogram. Though Shanto will lead the squad against Afghanistan, the BCB has yet to announce a long-term decision on his captaincy or the squad for the West Indies tour later in November, where Bangladesh will play two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is.

Ahead of next month's Border Gavaskar Trophy against the Rohit Sharma-led side, Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has opened up Team India's Test series loss to New Zealand.

"Complete Cricketer Is...": Gautam Gambhir's Explosive 'Skill Against Spin' Verdict

Head coach Gautam Gambhir on Thursday refuted the claims that Indian batters' skill set against quality spin bowling has deteriorated over last few years but felt that the slam-bang nature of T20 cricket has affected players' defence. India were found wanting once again at Pune in the second Test as their 113-run loss on a spin-friendly pitch ended their 12-year unbeaten run on home soil. "I don't think so," Gambhir asserted when asked if Indian batters' spin negotiating skills have gone down. "Sometimes you have to give it to the opposition as well. Mitchell Santner was outstanding in the last game. But yes, we'll keep working hard, we'll keep getting better. Guys are putting in a lot of hard yards in the nets.

Felt As Long As I Am Playing, We Won't Lose Series In India: Ravindra Jadeja

The last time India lost a Test series at home dozen of years of back, Ravindra Jadeja had made his Test debut and perhaps in this journey of 77 long form games, he also felt a sense of invincibility whenever he donned the whites at home. After his 14th five-for in Tests, Jadeja admitted that his worst fear of losing a series at home has come true. "Firstly, I had this fear... personally I had thought that I won't lose a series in India as long as I am playing. But that too has happened," he said after opening day's play in the third Test.
