Cricket Australia (CA) has defended its decision to only offer Justin Langer a short-term contract extension as men's head coach, saying he did not meet the team's «needs going forward».
Eight finals and four trophies in 14 editions make India the most successful team in the Under-19 World Cup history. And come Saturday, they look on course for a record-extending fifth title given the depth of talent and form but standing in the way is a driven English team, chasing its own piece of history in what promises to be an enthralling summit clash. Yash Dull and Co. will aim to add to India's rich legacy when they take on England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium here.
ADELAIDE : Former teammates of Justin Langer have lamented what they called a lack of player support for the man who, even before quitting on Saturday as coach of the Australian men's cricket team, was being mentioned as a candidate for the vacant England job.
The Indian team will be looking to get back to winning ways when it takes on the West Indies on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in the first of the three ODIs. India suffered a 0-3 whitewash in South Africa in the ODI series. Regular ODI skipper Rohit Sharma will be back to lead the side as India enter a new era with Rohit and head coach Rahul Dravid at the helm. It will be interesting to see what kind of combination Rohit will go for, keeping a close eye on the 50-over Cricket World Cup in 2023 in India.
Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns said on Saturday that he has been diagnosed with bowel cancer, five months after suffering a spinal stroke following emergency heart surgery.
Yash Dhull on Friday said that it was an amazing feeling to interact with Virat Kohli ahead of the high-profile summit clash against England in the ongoing U19 World Cup. India will lock horns against England in the summit clash on Saturday. Ahead of the final, Kohli had interacted with the members of the U19 squad on Thursday. Kohli had also won the U19 World Cup in 2008 as he had led the Indian side.
Sachin Tendulkar special were the three constants for an Indian from the 1990s to 2010. “Sachin kitne pe hain yaar” was the question often asked rather than India’s score. The refreshing approach he showed towards batting, especially in limited-overs cricket, even as a 16-year-old hitting a 17-ball 53 in an exhibition match in Peshawar, had the fans hooked for all the 463 appearances he made for India. “I showed I could play a few shots and generate power for a guy who doesn’t have a big frame and earned an ODI spot for myself,” is his modest assessment of his heroics against Abdul Qadir, Wasim Akram and Mushtaq Ahmed, in what could be the first Twenty20 game ever played, as rain ruled out a full international match and because of the huge crowd presence, India and Pakistan decided to play an exhibition match of 20 overs per innings. “Not a bad strike-rate even in today’s T20 era,” he later says, shedding a few ounces of that modesty.
The bitter taste of letting England off the hook in the 2017 Women's Ashes is all the motivation Australia need to maintain the rage for the final two ODIs of this series.
