"Shreyas Iyer Has To Decide": Ex India Star's Blunt Warning To Under-Fire Batter

Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar adviced under-fire middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer to work on his defensive game if he wants to excel in Test cricket.

In his last seven Tests, Iyer has managed just 187 runs in 12 innings at an average of 17.00, with the best score of just 35. Speaking in a video by ESPNCricinfo, Manjrekar said that Iyer first has to decide as to which formats he is going to try excelling in.

Ignored For England Test Series, India Star's Cryptic 'Story Not Over' Post Goes Viral

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named the squad for the remaining three Tests of the five-match series against England on Saturday. After the team announcement, India's out-of-favour pacer Umesh Yadav put a cryptic post on his Instagram story and fans wasted no time in relating it to the bowler being overlooked for England Tests. In the changes in the fast bowling line-up, India roped in Akash Deep, giving a maiden Test call-up to the pacer. Meanwhile, Umesh stayed out of consideration. He last played for India in June 2023, which happened to be a Test match vs Australia at The Oval.

India vs England: Blow To Ben Stokes And Co, Star Player Ruled Out Of Remaining Three Tests

The England cricket team suffered a big blow on Sunday as spinner Jack Leach was ruled out of the remaining three Tests against India.

In the second Test, he was replaced by debutant Shoaib Bashir, who couldn't do much with the ball as the tourists lost the match by 106 runs.

'Was Labelled As A White-Ball Cricketer': Ravi Shastri Reveals First Call With Jasprit Bumrah

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri always knew that Jasprit Bumrah was "desperate and hungry" to play Test cricket as the pace sensation didn't ever liked being stereotyped as a "white-ball specialist". Bumrah is the first Indian pacer to be ranked No. 1 in the ICC Test rankings. The 30-year-old's pace prowess was on full display as he claimed a remarkable match haul of 9/91, playing a pivotal role in India's series-levelling victory in the Vizag Test. In the process, he also became the fastest Indian to 150 Test wickets.

R Ashwin Reacts As Jasprit Bumrah Replaces Him As No. 1 Test Bowler

Indian spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin hailed speedster Jasprit Bumrah for his performance during the second Test against England, saying that the real "show stealer" in the match was "Boomball". England had taken a 1-0 lead by beating India by 28 runs in the first Test at Hyderabad, but Bumrah's 'Boomball', his pin-point yorkers and his ability to put batters under pressure put England's highly-attacking, positive and result-oriented "Bazball" approach in check during the second Test at Visakhapatnam, which India won by 106 runs. Bumrah was given the 'Player of the Match' award for taking nine wickets, including a six-wicket haul in the first innings. After the match, Bumrah soon toppled Ashwin to become the world's number-one Test bowler.
