Hamid Abobo and Adekumbi Usman have emerged as the winners of the 2024 IBB Past Captains/Past Lady Captains Special Appreciation Kitty held at the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja.
Star Australia opener Usman Khawaja heaped praise on legendary India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and said that the 37-year-old always has a plan and is very strategic. In the upcoming days, Australia will take on India in the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Ashwin has stunning numbers against Australia, he played 22 Test matches and 42 innings against the Aussies, in which he has picked up 114 wickets at an economy rate of 2.70. While playing 10 Test matches on Aussie soil, Ashwin bagged 39 wickets at an economy rate of 2.93.
As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) approaches, the cricketing world is abuzz with anticipation of what is widely regarded as one of the sport's most intense rivalries, India versus Australia. The series, set to commence on November 22, features the top two teams in Test cricket, adding an extra layer of excitement. Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has shared his thoughts on the significance of the rivalry. "We're the world number one and number two teams really over the last two years. We were there at the last World Test Championship together. The rivalry has always been huge. I take it as a sign of respect, and I know that Indians love beating Australia in any form of cricket," Khawaja said, according to Star Sports.
Some of the Australian cricketers, including the likes of Pat Cummins and Usman Khawaja, were went through a funny lie detector test recently. Videos of the test is going viral on social media as the cricketers were asked some personal questions too. Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, and Josh Hazlewood were the other members of the Australian cricket team, who were part of the lie detector test. The test took place during a 'Fletch and Hindy' show on the Fox Network. NDTV could not independently identify the credibility of it.
Australia Test stalwart Usman Khawaja expressed his sadness at Afghanistan not being able to play in Australia, as he congratulated Afghanistan's historic 2024 T20 World Cup win over his own country. Earlier in the year, Cricket Australia had cancelled a bilateral series against Afghanistan over the country's "marked deterioration" in the treatment of women and children, following the rise of the Taliban regime. While the Afghanistan cricketers remain puzzled over the decision, Khawaja stated that the Afghanistan side was an inspiration.
He has had the best seat at the other end of the 22 yards watching David Warner in full flow and no wonder Usman Khawaja wants Australian team to give his opening partner a fitting farewell with a T20 World Cup triumph. Warner is set to retire from international cricket once Australia's campaign in the ongoing T20 World Cup concludes, which Khawaja loves to believe will only be after winning the coveted final. “As a friend, I'd love to see him (Warner) finish on a high. He's been playing some really good cricket. It's been really nice to see. You can tell he's just enjoying being out there. He's playing pretty relaxed. So he should. Yeah, it would be good to see," Khawaja told PTI Videos in an interview ahead of Australia's last Super 8s match against India.
Social media appearances can be deceiving, but judged by his output in recent days, Usman Khan is precisely where he has always wanted to be.
Despite major links to a stunning light heavyweight move to take on former champion, Jan Blachowicz two years ago, former welterweight kingpin, Kamaru Usman, has rejected the opportunity to settle their differences in an eventual fight, claiming the bout does “nothing” for him.
