An emotional Matthew Hayden has taken aim at the national men's cricket team, saying the players showed a lack of support for Justin Langer during the late stages of his coaching tenure.
Gunning for their fifth title after crushing Australia by 96 runs in the semifinal, a buoyant India — even more fired up after a pep talk by Virat Kohli — face England, who, after beating Afghanistan by 15 runs in the first semifinal are aiming for their first crown in 24 years, in the final of the 2022 Under-19 World Cup at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Saturday. While the head coach is former India all-rounder Hrishikesh Kanitkar, the Under-19 team is also being guided by batting legend VVS Laxman, who is there in the West Indies as the head of the National Cricket Academy.
Justin Langer’s tenure as coach of Australia’s men’s cricket team has come to an end, following months of speculation.
ADELAIDE : Justin Langer resigned as coach of Australia on Saturday, just weeks after leading the side to a 4-0 Ashes series win over England, with Cricket Australia saying he had declined a short-term extension to his contract.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has said that Babar Azam will soon become the number one ranked Test batter in the world as he has all the desired qualities. Pakistan will next lock horns against Australia in a three-match Test series, beginning March 4 in Rawalpindi. Babar Azam had won the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year Award in January, beating off competition from Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, South Africa batter Janneman Malan and Ireland opener Paul Stirling.
Nivethan Radhakrishnan fired Australia to third place in the ICC Under 19 Men's Cricket World Cup with a two-wicket win over Afghanistan. The ambidextrous all-rounder took three for 31 to limit Afghanistan to 201 all out batting first, before notching a half-century in the chase. Australia were made to sweat but eventually snuck home with five balls to spare.
The bridge is in the way of the superyacht and therefore must be dismantled. What does it have to do with the Indian Premier League (IPL) media rights auction? Nothing. Inconsequential to the IPL, the superyacht is being built for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, costs US$500m and has its own helipad. He may even pay for the reconstruction of the bridge. Now cut to the IPL. Can Bezos shell out a few billion dollars to buy the Indian Premier League (IPL) broadcast rights for Amazon’s OTT platform, Prime? Such questions don’t befit the man and his company’s profile, subject to him and his company making up their minds.
cricket coach Justin Langer announced his surprise resignation Saturday, just weeks after trouncing archrivals England in a lopsided Ashes series and months after winning the T20 World Cup. The 51-year-old walked away from the top management job in Australian sports after a sometimes difficult relationship with players and acrimonious talks with governing body Cricket Australia. Board members held lengthy discussions about Langer's future into Friday night, but appeared to have failed to reach an agreement on a new deal with the former Test batsman. The coach is said to have bristled at being asked to effectively reapply for his job and being offered a short-term contract, despite a stellar record that culminated in a 4-0 Ashes victory and Australia being ranked the world's number one Test team.
