India's Champions Trophy Squad: Big Surprises As Sunil Gavaskar, Irfan Pathan Announce Their Team

As Indian cricket fans await the big ICC Champions Trophy announcement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), former cricketers like Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar have shared their preferences. The BCCI selection committee, headed by Ajit Agarkar, recently sought an extension from the ICC over the squad announcement due to the suspense over Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav's availability. While the official squad is expected to be announced on January 19, Gavaskar and Pathan made some glaring omissions as they revealed their choices.

Rohit Sharma Asks BCCI To Let Him Remain Captain, Says Report. To End International Career After...

Another big revelation has emerged from last week's Board Of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) meeting, attended by Test and ODI skipper Rohit Sharma, as well as head coach Gautam Gambhir.

Manoj Tiwary Defends 'Hypocrite' Remark On Gautam Gambhir: "They Will Try..."

A recent interview of former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary went viral on internet in which he made some relentless attack at current national team head coach Gautam Gambhir. Tiwary even went on to call Gambhir a 'hypocrite', owing to his recent results with the Indian team, particularly the 3-0 clean sweep to New Zealand at home and 1-3 loss against Australia Down Under.

Now, Tiwari has issued a clarification, giving a direct reply to Chopra on social media.

"Virat Kohli Didn't Like Ambati Rayudu, Cut Him From Team": Robin Uthappa

Former India star Robin Uthappa has attempted a fresh jab at current Team India star Virat Kohli, suggesting he cherry-picked players in the team during his captaincy reign on the basis of likes and dislikes. Uthappa, who has been making headlines of late with some bold comments, has claimed that Ambati Rayudu was left out of India's 2019 ODI World Cup team as Kohli "didn't like him". Rayudu's omission from the team came at the last minute, with all-rounder Vijay Shankar replacing him in India's World Cup squad, leaving the entire Indian cricketing spectrum baffled.

Last Played For India 8 Years Ago, Batter With Average Of 664, Back In Selection Fray: Report

"Dear cricket, give me one more chance," said Karun Nair in a post on X (formerly Twitter) in December 2022 after seeing his cricketing career nearing a heartbreaking end. However, the middle-order batter turned things around dramatically over the next 12-13 months and is reportedly back in the fray for national selection. Nair's case remains one of the most interesting in Indian cricket. He scored the famous 303 against England in Chennai, yet couldn't become a central figure in India's plans for the longest format. However, with an exemplary performance in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign, Nair's astonishing numbers have forced the Ajit Agarkar-led national selection committee to stand up and take notice.
