Asia Cup 2022: Time for coaches to pick formats too?

Sriram says all-format coaching is very difficult in packed scheduleDUBAI: With a packed international calendar and three different formats jostling for relevance and financial viability, cricketers have already started to pick and choose their formats. Quinton de Kock abruptly called it quits in Test cricket earlier in the year and Ben Stokes ruffled a lot of feathers when he decided to give up ODIs last month. As international cricket faces a threat from proliferating T20 leagues, no doubt the players are bearing the brunt of the unrelenting schedule. It's clear that cricket is slowly headed towards three types of international players to suit each format of the game, leading to another question: should coaches too pick their formats? Former India cricketer turned coach Sridharan Sriram, who is a technical consultant to the Bangladesh team for the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup, feels the time will soon come when format-specific coaching will become the norm.

Asia Cup 2022: "Life Might Just Get Better" For Virat Kohli, Sanjay Manjrekar Explains How

Virat Kohli, despite showing early promise, got out for 35 in India's Asia Cup match against Pakistan on Sunday. The former Indian cricket team captain is under focus after a lengthy lean phase. He was rested for the tours of West Indies and Zimbabwe, and the Asia Cup is a crucial tournament for him ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup, which starts in Australia in two months' time. Former India player Sanjay Manjrekar found enough positives in Kohli's performance against Pakistan, but also suggested some changes in his batting style.

Asia Cup 2022: Shakib Al Hasan Reaches Milestone Of 100 T20I Matches

Star Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan reached the milestone of 100th T20I matches on Tuesday. He accomplished the feat during his side's Group B Asia Cup 2022 match against Afghanistan in Sharjah. Shakib did not have an impressive 100th T20I match as, despite a good start, he failed to stay on the crease for long. He was dismissed for 11 off 9 balls after pacer Mujeeb Ur Rahman dislodged his stumps. In 100 matches now, Hasan has scored 2,018 runs at an average of 22.67. He has scored ten half-centuries in the shortest format, with 84 being his best score.

Asia Cup 2022, India vs Hong Kong: Ravindra Jadeja, the buffer for rusty top-order

All-rounder's evolution as a batter in focus as India hope star players Rohit, Virat and Rahul strike form against Hong Kong todayDUBAI: As the Indian players deboarded the team bus for an optional practice session here at the ICC Academy on Tuesday evening, the photographers trained their lenses on Virat Kohli. As it turned out, this is the second practice session Kohli had decided to skip on either side of the Pakistan match last Sunday. As everyone looked around for Kohli, it turned out regular captain Rohit Sharma too was missing. So was head coach Rahul Dravid. India's top-three - Rohit, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli - have looked rusty and nowhere close to being at their fluent best, so Wednesday's match against minnows Hong Kong here at the Dubai International stadium could be just the right opportunity for them to get going.
