India Squad For Champions Trophy: Out Of Favour Ishan Kishan, Axed From BCCI Contracts, Makes Surprise Entry In Spot Race

India Squad For Champions Trophy: Out Of Favour Ishan Kishan, Axed From BCCI Contracts, Makes Surprise Entry In Spot Race

KL Rahul‘s presence behind the stumps during the ODI World Cup gave the Indian team the balance but the stylish Karnataka right-hander is unlikely to don the big gloves in white-ball cricket going forward. The national selection committee is expected to meet on January 19, a day after the Vijay Hazare Trophy final, to select the 15-member provisional squad for the Champions Trophy and there will be some debate on two fringe selections – the second keeper’s slot and the wrist spinner in case Kuldeep Yadav fails to get fit in time. In the case of keeper’s slot, Rishabh Pant is the first choice by a country mile but the second keeper’s slot could be a three-way fight between Dhruv Jurel, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan. As of now, it looks like Jurel could win the battle. Samson could lose out as he decided to skip the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Kishan played 27 ODIs to score 933 runs at an average of 42-plus with a double hundred and seven half-centuries to show for …

“No Brainer:” Rohit Sharma Axed, Ex-India Star Makes Clear Verdict On Next Test Captain

File image of Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah.© X (Twitter) A big question mark lies over who will be India’s captain the next time they play Test cricket (against England in June). While Rohit Sharma has suffered from poor form, he has not yet given up or been stripped off his Test captaincy. On the other hand, vice-captain pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has arguably been India’s best performer, and led the team in the only Test they won against Australia. In the mind of former India cricketer-turned-pundit Sanjay Manjrekar, there is only answer to the question. “It’s a no-brainer for me. The next Test series is in England and Jasprit Bumrah has to be the Test captain,” Manjrekar said, speaking on ESPNcricinfo. Manjrekar stated a multitude of reasons as to why Bumrah should be made the permanent Test captain. “Rohit Sharma as a batter has not done enough considering the loss to NZ at home plus he opted out of the playing XI because he did not fit in. There are too many …

Jan 08, 2025 01:50 PM IST A slew of Los Angeles premieres including the Unstoppable and Wolf Man events were cancelled due to the devastating wildfires in Pacific Palisades.
