Pakistan announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup on Thursday and, contrary to what was expected, decided to stick to most of the players who were part of the squad that recently lost to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final. The announcement was followed by scrutiny from fans and former cricketers alike. Mohammad Amir, the former Pakistan fast bowler, also tweeted after the squad was announced but he has since been slammed by fans of Twitter for his choice of words.
Zimbabwe announced their 15-member squad for ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Thursday, with captain Craig Ervine returning from injury to lead the side. Pace spearhead Blessing Muzarabani also makes the 15-member group after staying away from the action in the recently-concluded Australia tour.
Mumbai Indians have confirmed that Mark Boucher will become their head coach from the 2023 Indian Premier League season.
The century against Afghanistan at the Asia Cup could not have come at a better time for Virat Kohli. After facing question marks over his form, the former Indian cricket team skipper roared back to form in the continental event with two half-centuries and a ton. The century came while opening the innings in India's final Super 4 match. With the T20 World Cup in Australia starting in little over a month's time, former India wicketkeeper suggested that Kohli should continue opening the innings along with captain Rohit Sharma.
Ravichandran Ashwin feels young left-arm pace bowler Arshdeep Singh might be in "emotional turmoil" after he was trolled relentlessly following him dropping a catch in the Asia Cup 'Super 4' match against arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai recently. Fans took to social media to vent their ire against Arshdeep, when he dropped the catch with Pakistan needing 34 runs to win in two overs. In the 18th over of the match, Asif Ali tried to sweep Ravi Bishnoi, only to edge the ball as the skier went towards Arshdeep at short third-man. However, the 23-year-old medium pacer dropped the straightforward chance and Ali survived to pull the game back in Pakistan's favour. Virat Kohli later defended the young pacer, saying anyone could have made such a mistake during a high-pressure game.
After a gruelling Asia Cup campaign, where the Indian cricket team failed to qualify for the final, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is currently enjoying a brief break from cricket. He took four wickets in four matches. He had an economy of 7.93. But bigger battles await him as Team India gears up for the T20 World Cup in Australia next month. Before the marquee event, the Indian team will play bilateral series against Australia from September 20. Ahead of that Chahal has posted a romantic video with wife Dhanashree Verma along with the caption: "My strongest woman is my strength."
Mumbai Indians said on Friday that Mark Boucher will become their head coach from the 2023 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), with the 45-year-old stepping down from the same role at South Africa after the Twenty20 World Cup.
