Big Bowling Changes, Sarfaraz Khan Debut, Harbhajan Singh Selects India XI for Second Test Against England

Harbhajan Singh, a former spinner for the Indian cricket team, selected the playing XI for the second Test match against England, which begins on February 2, and he advised significant alterations to the bowling attack. In KL Rahul's absence, Harbhajan suggested that Sarfaraz Khan make his Test debut, with all-rounder Washington Sundar taking over for the injured Ravindra Jadeja. In addition, he suggested that Rohit Sharma replace Mohammed Siraj with Kuldeep Yadav and field four spinners. This implies that the erstwhile star of the Indian cricket team, Jasprit Bumrah, will be the sole specialist bowler in the team."Sarfaraz ought to play at number five, in my opinion. On his YouTube channel, Harbhajan stated, "He has been scoring a lot of runs in domestic cricket and even for India A in the matches against England Lions."According to Harbhajan, the appearance of the wicket at Vishakhapatnam will determine whether Mohammed Siraj or Kuldeep Yadav is selected to play. Given that the track may be favorable to spinners, according to reports, Harbhajan recommended adding Kuldeep while keeping an eye on his World Cup performance."Kuldeep Yadav should be at position 11 instead. In addition to having the variations, he is able to rotate the ball in both directions. He recently had a fantastic World Cup performance. Kuldeep Yadav is the player the squad should choose if they want to add another spinner. Play Siraj if you think the pitch has something, but use Kuldeep as the fourth spinner if you believe the wicket is turning," Harbhajan said.In KL Rahul's absence, Harbhajan suggested that Sarfaraz Khan make his Test debut, with all-rounder Washington Sundar taking over for the injured Ravindra Jadeja. In addition, he suggested that Rohit Sharma replace Mohammed Siraj with Kuldeep Yadav and field four spinners.  

BPL week two Nawaz advances undefeated Khulna, Sylhet, continues to lose

Chattogram's surprising hero was Oman's Bilal Khan, despite Barishal's Shoaib Mailk's sudden exit from the BPL.In the second week of the BPL's current 2023–24 season, all eight matches took place in Sylhet, which is regarded as the nation's best batting track. Even though Sylhet Strikers failed to score in five attempts, Khulna Tigers managed to stay unbeaten, having won four of their last five games. These are a few of the week's most noteworthy moments.While Khulna, who lead the table, continued their winning streak from the previous week with two more victories this time around, Chattogram Challengers were also playing well, having won three straight games to move into second place. Rangpur Riders also recovered from a loss at the beginning of the week with a pair of significant victories.Khulna, captained by Anamul Haque and featuring a sizable West Indies team, defeated Rangpur by 28 runs before destroying Durdanto Dhaka by ten wickets in a 131-run chase that they finished with over five overs remaining. Khulna's all-around player, Muhammad Nawaz, was the standout of both matches. Against Rangpur, he hit 55 off 34 balls and claimed two wickets; against Dhaka, he claimed 3 for 15. In addition to Nawaz, Anamul and Evin Lewis's constancy have helped Khulna.Conversely, Chattogram prevailed in both of this week's games. While they were just able to defeat 193 against Fortune Barishal by ten runs, they were dominant against Sylhet, taking 138 wickets at a cost of only 14 deliveries. Last season's finalists, it was Sylhet's fifth consecutive defeat. In addition to losing to Chattogram, they also suffered crushing losses to Barishal and Comilla Victorians.Mashrafe Mortaza, who was injured and commanded the team despite not bowling frequently, could have contributed to Sylhet's bad run. Since then, Mashrafe has made the decision to pause the competition in order to concentrate on his political efforts. It was "not ideal" that he was still in the side, as he had previously acknowledged. Since dew seemed to become less of an issue at the picturesque Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, the switch from Mirpur in the first week to Sylhet in the second may have contributed to the majority of wins for sides batting first. The chasing side won all eight games in Mirpur.Meanwhile, Barishal's Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik was the subject of a persistent off-field controversy. Malik bowled as many as three no-balls in an over against Khulna the week before, and Barishal owner Mizanur Rahman wasn't happy about it, saying "that's where we lost that match" as Khulna easily chased down 188. After just three games, on January 26, Mailk abruptly left the BPL, despite the fact that Malik's contract was "till February 14," according to Mizanur. Rumors of a rift within the team ensued after that, however Malik later clarified that it was untrue.  

A Davis Cup squad is hosted by the Indian High Commission.

Prior to their match against the Asian neighbors at the Islamabad Sports Complex, the Indian High Commission hosted the national Davis Cup team, which is scheduled to visit Pakistan for the first time in sixty years.The national Davis Cup team received a hearty welcome from the Indian High Commission in Pakistan on Wednesday, marking a historic occasion as the team gets ready to play its Asian rivals in Islamabad following a 60-year break. Despite long-standing diplomatic difficulties between the two countries, the welcome was a show of friendliness and sportsmanship, headed by Geetika Srivastava, the first woman to lead the Indian High Commission in Pakistan. This event is especially significant because it is the first time an Indian Davis Cup team has visited Pakistan since 1964.As a sign of goodwill, Srivastava said she was honored to have the Indian team visit her and wished them luck in their forthcoming match against Pakistan at the Islamabad Sports Complex. She emphasized the historic significance of the event and the importance of the reestablished athletic relations between the two surrounding nations."To have the Indian national team here is an honor. The fact that an Indian team is visiting Pakistan after a protracted absence is a historic event. "Everyone in this room wishes the team luck in their match against Pakistan," Srivastava remarked.The players' and High Commission representatives' interactions emphasized the shared excitement and unity surrounding the occasion. Conversations about the match and the significance of the impending tie reverberated throughout the party, demonstrating the competitive spirit and common love of tennis. There are a lot of stakes in the World Group I match between India and Pakistan, which is scheduled for February 3–4. The winner will guarantee their spot in Group I, while the loser would be sent to Group II. The fact that India has a perfect record versus Pakistan in Davis Cup history heightens the excitement for the impending match.  

Sakshi Malik, a wrestler, claims that the chief of false titles is suspended. The ministry of sports issues a legal notice.

Malik appealed to the sports ministry about the situation, questioning how a federation member who was suspended could embezzle money from the WFI.Olympic wrestler Sakshi Malik accused the suspended chairman of the wrestling federation of India (WFI), Sanjay Singh, on Tuesday of organizing championships and giving phony certificates, a month after the Central government suspended the WFI panel.Malik appealed to the sports ministry about the situation, questioning how a federation member who was suspended could embezzle money from the WFI. She said that athletes would run into problems if they presented phony credentials."The National Wrestling Championship is being run by Sanjay Singh, an associate of Brij Bhushan, as per his wish and he is giving fake certificates to the players, which is illegal," Malik said in a post on X, the previous Twitter platform.She continued by saying that the Sports Ministry was planning to host the national wrestling championship in Jaipur and that Singh was staging a phony tournament in order to "assert his dominance.""To demonstrate his superiority in wrestling, Sanjay Singh is forging and distributing fake certificates of several national championships before of the Sports Ministry's scheduled wrestling national championship in Jaipur. How is it possible for an individual under suspension from the organization to embezzle its funds?Malik went on to say that these certificates can result in the players being punished. "Action will be taken against the poor players when they go tomorrow to ask for jobs with these certificates." However, the players are not at fault.She urged Anurag Thakur, the minister of sports, to investigate the matter. "Sanjay Singh should be held accountable right away for his fraudulent actions, as he continues to conduct fraudulent acts even after his activities have been prohibited. Malik stated, "I beg the Sports Minister, Shri Anurag Thakur ji, to look into this matter and prevent the players' futures from being spoiled."Malik included an image of the purportedly fraudulent credentials being given to athletes in the article. Sanjay Singh received a severe warning from the Sports Ministry about possible legal consequences. Singh recently made "baseless and mischievous" comments about the government's recognition of WFI, to which this is in reaction. The ministry made it clear that any competition run by the WFI would not be accepted as "sanctioned."According to PTI, Singh had previously declared that almost 700 wrestlers would compete in the Senior National Championship, which would take place in Pune from January 29 to January 31.The ministry wrote to Singh, stating, "Again, you are making completely baseless and mischievous claims regarding the recognition of the Executive Committee of the WFI that is currently under suspension and about the competitions that you are holding in Pune."  

Appeal From Sakshee Malikkh To Anurag Thakur Is Directed Towards Suspended Wrestling Boss

Bronze medallist Sakshee Mallikh of the Indian Wrestling Federation (WFI) has claimed that suspended WFI president Sanjay Singh is holding championships and issuing phony certificates, a month after the Center suspended the newly-elected panel of the WFI. Ms. Malikkh has expressed doubts about how a suspended official can embezzle federation funds and issued a warning that athletes may face problems down the road as a result of the phony certificates. Anurag Thakur, the minister of sports, has been urged to get involved in the situation by her. Sanjay Singh is illegally organizing a separate national championship to assert his dominance and sign certificates, Ms. Malikkh claimed in a post on X, despite the fact that the national wrestling championship organized by the Sports Ministry is scheduled to take place in Jaipur. Days after it was elected, the WFI panel was suspended last month due to the hurried announcement of the Under-15 and Under-20 national teams. The ministry suspended the body and added that "former office-bearers" had total control over the new body, seemingly referring to former WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.   "Even though they are not at fault, athletes who apply for jobs based on these certificates will be subject to consequences. Sanjay Singh ought to face consequences, the speaker continued.The nation's top wrestlers, including Ms. Malikkh, Bajrang Punia, and Vinesh Phogat, staged a protest in response to allegations of sexual harassment made against the former wrestling boss. Following multiple postponements resulting from legal disputes, a fresh panel election took place in December, with Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's aide Sanjay Singh emerging victorious.  

What Adjustments Will Rohit Sharma Make To Replace Rahul And Jadeja In Vizag Against England?

India's selection dilemma is severe as they look to recover from a rare home loss to England in the second Test. Ravindra Jadeja and K L Rahul suffered untimely injuries. Before England turned the tables on the formidable hosts in the Hyderabad Test, Jadeja and Rahul were two of India's top performers in the first innings. During the Hyderabad Test, Jadeja hurt his hamstring going for a quick single, and Rahul reported having pain in his right quadriceps. The home team's problems are exacerbated by the duo's unavailability; they were obviously taken aback by England's "Bazball" tactic.   With his outstanding all-around skills, Jadeja renders himself practically unreplaceable, and since recovering from surgery in September, Rahul has also emerged as one of India's most valuable hitters in both the ODI and Test formats.   Virat Kohli remains unavailable due to personal reasons and after a shock reverse in the series opener, the management will be missing him even more in Visakhapatnam where the second Test begins on Friday.With Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar added to the squad, selectors have ample options for Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid to choose from.   Rajat Patidar, who was also among the 15 in Hyderabad, is an obvious choice. With Kuldeep Yadav replacing Jadeja as the third spinner behind R Ashwin and Axar Patel, he could replace Rahul in the middle order.   Another option for India is to play one pacer for four spin options, just like England did in the first game.In that scenario, Kuldeep could replace Mohammed Siraj, and the team could then include Sarfaraz Khan or Washington to strengthen the middle order.   Sourabh can be a dark horse in that race because he is a decent batsman with a couple of hundreds in first class cricket and bowls left-arm spin like Jadeja.   There have been two Test matches played at Visakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Stadium to date, and the pitch is typically batting friendly, at least in the first innings.   When India batted first at this location back in 2019, they amassed 502 points in the opening innings against South Africa, with Mayank Agarwal recording a double hundred and Rohit putting up a quick 176 in his first-ever Test innings.Anil Kumble, a spin legend, believes wrist spinner Kuldeep's inclusion in the eleven will be beneficial.   "Having Kuldeep will definitely help if India feels that they only need one fast bowler. Although he will make some changes, England will visit and follow their Hyderabadi model "Kumble informed the host broadcaster.   "We anticipate a quicker pace than this, and this wicket could be a turning point. Even though it moved slowly, this was a good wicket if you put in the work. India's strategy for playing against spin needs to be adjusted for sure.Additionally, I thought that the way England approached their batting rattled them, and as a result, they had to devise some unusual plans. The spin trio was under pressure from England's constant sweeping approach, so he said, "They never tried any variations so that's something I am sure they will be looking to do."   Washington, a left-handed batsman who bowls off-spin with his right hand, also has a good case for selection after demonstrating a lot of promise during his four Test career.   He played in three games in the previous home series against England in 2021 after making his debut in the historic Test victory at the Gabba.During that series, Washington took two wickets in a match that was dominated by front-line spinners Ashwin and Axar, scoring 85 and 96 not out in five innings.   The all-rounder is a utility player, according to former selector Sarandeep Singh, who witnessed Washington make his Australian debut. However, Singh would rather not make many changes to the starting eleven.   For me, it's not too tough. Kuldeep takes the place of Jadeja, and Rajat Patidar replaces Rahul. Unlike England, we do not have to play four spinners. Our strongest point when playing at home has been using three spinners and two pacers. The former spinner for India stated, "We must adhere to it.

New Zealand versus India Real-time score Musheer Khan leads India in the U19 World Cup 2024 Super Six with an outstanding hundred.

Live score for the IND U19 vs. NZ U19 World Cup 2024 cricket match: With three straight victories under their belt, reigning champions India will try to maintain their winning streak when they play New Zealand in their U-19 World Cup super six stage match on Tuesday.India will have the added benefit of playing on Tuesday at the Mangaung Oval, where they have played all three of their current matches, having advanced to the super six stage as the leaders of Group A.Conversely, New Zealand moved here from East London and will need to swiftly adjust to the environment. India defeated Bangladesh, Ireland, and the United States with relative ease. The 'Boys in Blue' performed admirably in the next two games, despite the record five-time winners' slight batsmanship versus their Asian opponents in the first game.The fact that at least one or two Indian hitters raised their hands and accepted responsibility for scoring runs is what makes them the best on the squad. Third batter in the order The Mumbai batter who has been a regular in the lineup, Mursheer Khan, is the younger brother of Sarfaraz. After the group stage, Mursheer is the third-highest run scorer in the tournament with a century and a fifty.Since he hasn't been able to build on his two starts in the past two games, Adarsh Singh will be hoping to score a lot, while fellow opener Arshin Kulkarni will be feeling quite confident following his incredible century. Uday Saharan, the captain, has had a significant innings and will try to keep it up.Naman Tiwari, a left-arm pacer, has shown exceptional skill with the ball when bowling. In the next two games, he has taken four wickets apiece after going wicketless against Bangladesh. Saumy Pandey, a left-arm spinner who aims to target the stumps with reasonably accurate deliveries, has also shown promise. He currently has eight scalps and the second-best economy (2.01) in the competition. New Zealand had two victories from three games to finish second in Group D. In the tournament, the Kiwi batting lineup has not fared well.They managed to win by a whisker against Afghanistan, where they were chasing a meek 91 runs, but they lost badly versus Pakistan, losing by ten wickets, being bowled out for 140. The onus will be on the Kiwi hitters to support the bowling unit against a strong India lineup. Every team will carry over the points and NRR they earned against other Super Six qualifying clubs, thus both sides will also be monitoring their NRR. The Groups: India: Aravelly Avanish Rao, Saumy Kumar Pandey, Murugan Abhishek, Innesh Mahajan, Dhanush Gowda, Aaradhya Shukla, Raj Limbani, Sachin Dhas, Priyanshu Moliya, Musheer Khan, Aravelly Avanish Rao, and Uday Saharan (c).

Football Roundup Klopp bids adieu, chaos and platitudes for the Nix

Football is a cliché factory. They emphasize stories, divert attention from mistakes, and—possibly most importantly—provide an opportunity to minimize expectations. "I keep saying this and I know it sounds a cliché, but we take it game by game."Giancarlo Italiano, the head coach of Wellington Phoenix, said as much after his team defeated the Newcastle Jets 2-1 at the A-League summit this past weekend.Because a fixtured competition is by its very nature unpredictable, it's difficult to say exactly how you wouldn't approach each game differently, but whatever 'Chiefy' is doing, he should keep it up. Clichés originate from reality, and to borrow another expression, Wellington is currently winning like champions. Not always at their very best, but obtaining the desired outcome the difficult way. Many predicted that the Nix's promising early lead would fade in true Phoenix fashion after they were destroyed in the rematch in December, yet game by game, their title challenge continues. Though it is more likely that this will be Oskar Zawada's last gasp, his reappearance was welcome. With his contract expiring at the end of the current campaign, the 27-year-old is enticing Europe, the plague of A-League longevity. A fitting farewell present would be to fire Phoenix to glory first.In reference to cliches, what about the proverb that states that you wait a long time for a bus and three arrive at once? Alex Rufer, the captain of Nix, is having a great season. He has scored three goals in as many games. This comes from a player who, in January of last year, had to wait 107 games and 3269 days to score his first goal for the team.There was nothing mundane or conventional about the Wellington Phoenix women's team's 2-0 victory over Canberra United, from the overused to the wild.In the second half, goalie Rylee Foster sent Sofia Christopherson out for a vicious attack, causing chaos in Porirua.However, the irony will be apparent to everyone who has witnessed the event. Fear not—the chaos at Jerry Collins Stadium carried on when substitute goalie Brianna Edwards stopped the ensuing penalty with the first touch of the match.

Wasim Jaffer desires that Shubman Gill open with Yashasvi Jaiswal and that Rohit Sharma be dropped to No. 3 in the batting order.

Two Indian batsmen who are totally out of form, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, may not be selected for the upcoming Test matches if the dry spell lasts.Anticipate a few changes in the Indian side following their defeat in the first Test match against England in Hyderabad. Rajat Patidar could be a good choice for India instead of Shreyas Iyer. Iyer has been a letdown for a while, thus India's No. 5 spot is up for grabs. Despite his lackluster returns, Shubman Gill could be able to hold onto his spot because there is currently no suitable substitute for him. However, a former Indian batsman believes that Gill starting the innings rather than batting at number three is preferable.Shubman Gill, who is waiting for his time to bat at Number 3, seems to be receiving no assistance, according to former India opening batsman Wasim Jaffer. Jaffer suggested that Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, drop to No. 3 and allow Gill to start the innings. "I think Rohit should bat at number three in the second test, and Gill and Jaiswal should open. " Shubman would be better off opening the inn than waiting to bat for his turn. Rohit is an excellent spin player, so he shouldn't be too concerned about batting at number three. Jaffer tweeted, "#INDvENG."Jaffer presents an intriguing perspective, but it's also true that Gill wanted to bat at No. 3 for India after Cheteshwar Pujara was fired and Yashasvi Jaiswal replaced him as the opener. However, Gill has not truly lived up to the role since assuming it. He has a history of failure, and a few more setbacks might see him go because many talented hitters who have competed in the Ranji Trophy are waiting for their opportunity.India might substitute Kuldeep Yadav for Ravindra Jadeja and Patidar for Iyer for the two changes that they might make for the second Test. Given that the spin trio of R Ashwin, Axar Patel, and Jadeja was unable to influence the game, Kuldeep's selection is highly likely. Although Jadeja's hamstring injury forces Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid to start Kuldeep in place of the injured all-rounder, Kuldeep would have like to have taken Axar's spot.On February 2, the second Test gets underway in Visakhapatnam. It's very possible that the pitch for the second Test will be turning from day one, which will aid the spinners.Second Test between India and England: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Rajat Patidar, KS Bharat, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yafav are the probable eleven (with input from Jaffer).

In the ISSF World Cup, Divyansh Singh Panwar breaks the record.

Divyansh Singh Panwar saw from the sidelines as China's Sheng Lihao set a world record of 253.3 to win the 10m air rifle competition at the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year. Only two Indian shooters, Rudrankksh Patil and Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, were qualified for the eight-man final. Panwar was behind them.But with a final score of 253.7 on Sunday at the ISSF global Cup in Cairo, the 21-year-old Panwar smashed Lihao's global record."I felt confident in my technique and approach going into the final, and my goal was to concentrate on my shooting and score. Panwar told ISSF TV, "It is fantastic to see the hard training paying off.Panwar, who is from Rajasthan and whose father Ashok Panwar is a senior nurse staff member at Sawai Man Singh Medical College, gained notoriety in 2019 when he won multiple medals at the ISSF Junior World Cups, and then secured a quota spot for the Tokyo Olympics with a silver medal at the ISSF World Cup in China. In addition to taking home a bronze at the ISSF World Cup in Delhi and an Asian Championship gold, he would go on to capture the 10m air rifle title at the ISSF World Cup final in Putian over the next two years.The young athlete was originally ranked number one in the world and was predicted to make the eight-shooter final in Tokyo, but he ended a distant 32nd. Five months before the Olympics in Tokyo, the athlete had shot a then-world record score of 253.1 in one of the national trials.After spending some time in Delhi with his personal coach Deepak Kumar Dubey, Panwar will take a two-week hiatus from shooting to participate in a vipassana course in Rishikesh. "Divyansh recognized that despite his youth, anyone might experience failures of this nature. After what transpired in Tokyo, the vipassana course allowed him to collect his thoughts. He shot more freely and stopped worrying about his spot in the Indian team after he was able to accomplish it, according to Dubey.After the setback in Tokyo, Panwar emerged as the junior and senior national champion four months later. In 2022, he resumed junior competition as well. With shooters like Aishwary Singh Tomar, Arjun Babuta, and Rudrankksh Patil on the Indian squad, Panwar would frequently participate in the Ranking Points Only (RPO) category at World Cups. His lone appearance in the competitive category came in the Baku World Cup last year, where he finished in ninth place. He missed a spot in the final with a score of 633.1.Before being selected for the Asian Games squad last year, he earned another score of 633.0 in the Cairo World Cup while competing in the RPO category. After we worked on modifying his backbend, he did a good job acclimating to his new firearm. On days when he is not competing, we also have him fire 100–110 shots to help him unwind," adds Dubey. Panwar won the qualifier on Sunday with a score of 632.4.

There was a great chance that England would be bowled out of the game. The host broadcaster informed Kevin Pietersen in jest at the conclusion of the day that his request for a flight on Saturday had been turned down. Thanks to a brilliant century from Ollie Pope, England not only made sure India's advantage stayed below 200, but they also built a respectable lead of 126 runs.It was hardly a perfect day for England. Even Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah, two of India's top players, would concede that Pope may have produced the greatest knock by an international batsman in recent memory. In Chennai in 2021, Joe Root did indeed score a double century, but the circumstances and match setup were very different.Pope amassed 17 boundaries in an innings full of sweeps and reverse sweeps, the majority of which kept him undefeated at 148 off 208 balls. Even after Ashwin destroyed England's skipper Ben Stokes at 163 for 5, India was still 27 runs short of batting again. That's when things started to change in the contest.Ben Foakes and Pope teamed together to put together a crucial 123-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Axar Patel bowled Foakes with a low delivery, but Pope ensured that the England supporters could relax at the end of the game.What does it signify for India, though? With four wickets in hand, including Pope's wicket, England lead by 126 runs. Before they bat in the fourth innings, do they worry? According to bowling instructor Parash Mhambrey, no. We don't have a specific target in mind to chase, since our main goal is to arrive tomorrow morning, take early wickets, and lower their total."By establishing a goal, we are not placing any strain on ourselves. In his news conference following the game, Mhambrey stated, "We just want to bowl in the right places to extract turn and bounce from the wicket." Mhambrey derived his confidence from the fact that the pitch's turn is simple to negate because it is not a sharp turn.

Then in the fifteenth, Tiwari struck again, leaving Ireland eight down. Ireland managed to hold on for a little while longer thanks to a strong ninth-wicket combination between Daniel Forkin and Oliver Riley, but an overwhelming Indian victory appeared certain.

According to Prasad, the ECB disregarded the proper procedures and then complained about them. "In the UK, his visa needed to be stamped. Thinking it would be stamped in a third nation, the ECB sent Shoaib Bashir to the United Arab Emirates.
