"Pehle Se Hi Tay Kar Diya?": Sunil Gavaskar Angry With 'Harshal Will Get Hit In Australia' Comment

While the Indian cricket team squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup bears a tried and tested look, there were a couple of omissions which stuck out for some experts. Former Indian cricket team player and 1983 World Cup player Krishnamachari Srikkanth felt that Mohammed Shami should have been included in the main squad in place of Harshal Patel. "If I was the chairman of the selection committee, (Mohammad) Shami is definitely in the team. We are playing in Australia, the guy's got the real action, the guy's got bounce, he can bare the moment and he can get on early wickets, so I would have probably got Shami instead of Harshal Patel," Srikkanth said on Star Sports.

SC, amicus agree to amend BCCI cooling-off periodNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court, Board of Control for Cricket and the SC-appointed amicus curiae on Tuesday tentatively reached a consensus to amend the BCCI's constitution to allow two consecutive terms to its president, secretary and other office-bearers irrespective of their earlier innings in state associations. The SC-approved BCCI constitution provides that "an office-bearer who has held any post for two consecutive terms either in a state association or in the BCCI (or a combination of both) shall not be eligible to contest any further election without completing a cooling period of three years." The bench also in principle agreed to remove the 70-year age cap on BCCI's representative to the ICC that could make former BCCI president N Srinivasan hopeful of entering the international cricket body for a fresh start after a break from the cricket management role for more than seven years.

England potential excites skipper Ben Stokes after Test series win over South Africa

England needed just 25 minutes at the Oval to complete a nine-wicket win over the Proteas in barely more than two days' actual playing time that secured a 2-1 series victory. It also meant England had won six out of seven Tests under a new leadership duo of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum -- a far cry from a record of one win in 17 matches that marked the end of Joe Root's reign as skipper. New Zealand, the World Test champions were beaten 3-0 before England defeated India in a one-off Test, held over from last year because of coronavirus concerns in the Indian camp, prior to seeing off the Proteas. All of those triumphs were marked by a willingness to engage in dashing run-chases, while removing as much pressure from players as possible, albeit much of England's success, as South Africa captain Dean Elgar noted, was built on traditional fundamentals of the red-ball game.
