Much like the rest of the world cricketing fraternity, Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Tuesday expressed its "shock and sadness" at the death of umpiring legend Rudi Koertzen.
Former Indian skipper and ex-chairman of the selection committee Krishnamachari Srikkanth said that had he been the chairman of selectors currently, pacer Mohammed Shami would have been a part of Men in Blue's squad for upcoming Asia Cup 2022, which will take place from August 27 onwards. The All-India Senior Selection Committee on Monday announced the 14-members squad for the upcoming Asia Cup. The much-anticipated Asia Cup cricket tournament will take place from August 27 this year. "In my team, Shami was literally there. If I was the Chairman of the selection committee, I think Shami would have been there and probably, I would not have gone with Ravi Bishnoi. But I still believe that Axar Patel was a serious contender in my team. It would have been a big toss-up between Axar Patel and Ashwin," said Srikkanth during the show 'Follow The Blues' on Star Sports.
Rohit Sharma feels having a solid bench strength is paramount, and the team is striving to build one with an eye on the future. Since their shock group-stage elimination in the last T20 World Cup, India have been experimenting with their squads, with injury and workload management also playing a part in it. "We play a lot of cricket, so there will be injuries and workload management, so we have to rotate players," Rohit said on Star Sports show 'Follow the Blues'.
Former international cricket umpire Rudi Koertzen has died aged 73.
Behind Shikhar Dhawan's cheerful exterior lies an intensely "spiritual man" who has made peace with representing India in only one format. Approaching his 37th birthday, Dhawan has made a pledge to himself. "Till the time I am playing for India, I would like to be an asset and not a liability," Dhawan told PTI in an exclusive interaction after leading India to an ODI series victory in the West Indies. From the start of 2020 till the end of West Indies series, Dhawan has played 22 ODIs and scored 975 runs with 10 half-centuries, the highest by an Indian batter by a distance.
A viral video showing India skipper Rohit Sharma riding a golf cart has garnered a lot of praise on social media. The fans were left entertained with the way the Indian team celebrated their win over West Indies in the five-match T20I series. In the video, Rohit Sharma can be seen giving a golf cart ride to his teammates at the Lauderhill Cricket Ground, Florida, after winning the fifth and final T20I match on Sunday. Later, another video showing batter Sanju Samson with Ravichandran Ashwin and Dinesh Karthik went viral, where he can be seen responding to the crowds' love with a salute.
