The UAE’s leading cricketers all crave the chance to be franchise cricket global travellers. A couple of days after picking up a winner’s medal at the DP World International League T20, the country’s leading player is set to do just that – albeit very briefly.
A day after his retirement from cricket, Bengal star Manoj Tiwary raised concerns over the IPL-centric approach of young cricketers and strongly advocated for greater emphasis on Ranji Trophy. The 38-year-old Tiwary, who served Bengal for about two decades and represented India in 12 ODIs and three T20Is, had recently posted on X that Ranji Trophy should be "scrapped" but did not elaborate on the subject as he was an active BCCI cricketer. He was fined 20 per cent of his match fee for that remark.
India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal stated that he didn't want to retire hurt on Day 3 of the third Test against England in Rajkot. Jaiswal went on to score an unbeaten 214 after retiring hurt on the third day of Rajkot Test as he experienced lower back pain. He was playing on 105 when he went to the pavilion and resumed the knock the next day. His double ton included three consecutive sixes in England's veteran pacer James Anderson's over.
The ongoing Ranji Trophy season marks the end of an era in domestic cricket with five heavyweights bidding adieu to the game, leaving a huge void to fill. Bengal legend Manoj Tiwary, Jharkhand duo of big-hitting Saurabh Tiwary and express pacer Varun Aaron, Mumbai stalwart Dhawal Kulkarni and Vidrabha's Ranji Trophy-winning captain Faiz Fazal have decided to bring curtains to their illustrious domestic careers. The reasons for their retirement are varied, ranging from not having anything to play for (IPL contract or national call-up), to embarking on new adventures or focussing on politics.
Getting an Indian cricket team cap is the ultimate dream for any cricket from the country. But if getting an India call-up is tough, maintaining the India place is ever harder. Many cricketers have shown promise, yet their international career fizzled out after some time. Manoj Tiwary, who served Bengal for about two decades and represented India in 12 ODIs and three T20Is, is part of that list. The player retired a day after Bengal's final match in the Ranji Trophy this season.
England Test coach Brendon McCullum backed Jonny Bairstow as the wicketkeeper-batter seeks to rediscover his lost form after registering scores of 0 and 4 in the team's 434-run defeat in the third Test against India. Bairstow's performances in the Test series have been underwhelming and he has an average of 17.00 from six innings. Before the beginning of the series, England skipper Ben Stokes had backed Bairstow to do wonders as he only had to focus on his batting with wicketkeeper Ben Foakes taking the responsibility behind the stumps.
Spin bowling all-rounder Aditya Sarwate produced another impressive show as Vidarbha registered a comfortable 115-run win over Haryana on the fourth and final day to qualify for the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals from group A on Monday. Vidarbha (33) grabbed six points from what was their fifth win in the tournament to finish on top of Group A and were followed by Saurashtra (29). Sarwate, who had scored 99 in the first innings, made a valuable 42 in the second essay to help Vidarbha add 92 runs to their overnight total of 113/4.
Australia batting great David Warner said on Monday he expected a hostile reception when the world champions begin a Twenty20 series in New Zealand this week.
