Gautam Gambhir fires sharp retort on Shreyas Iyer’s omission from India squad for England Tests | Cricket News

[ad_1] India head coach Gautam Gambhir avoided answering questions on Shreyas Iyer not being included in the squad for their upcoming tour of England. While most inclusions and exclusions in the 18-member squad for the five-match Test series were largely on expected lines, including the announcement of  Shubman Gill as the new captain, Iyer’s exclusion despite his stellar form in ODI cricket in particular raised a few eyebrows. “I am not a selector,” was Gambhir’s terse reply when he was about Iyer by a journalist while addressing the media. Shreyas Iyer’s last Test match was in February 2024 against England in Visakhapatnam. In the time since, Iyer played a crucial role in India’s Champions Trophy victory, finishing as the team’s highest run scorer with 243 runs in five matches. He was also in sensational form in the Ranji Trophy, scoring 480 runs in the seven innings he batted for Mumbai at an average of 68.57 with two centuries.

[ad_1] Shubman Gill starts his Test captaincy by leading India in a daunting five-match tour of England. Batting great and former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said that he is happy with ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for ruling himself out of the race for the post due to his recurring back injury. Gill himself has hardly ever played in England – the 25-year-old has played just three Tests in which scored just 88 runs at an average of 14.66. However, Gill’s appointment after Rohit Sharma’s retirement still didn’t come as a surprise to most as he had long been earmarked as the next long-term Test captain for India. Bumrah was seen as the other frontrunner for the post.

England’s top three go into the Test series against India full of confidence: Geoffrey Boycott after batters performance against Zimbabwe | Cricket News

Published by Webster

[ad_1] The first home Test of England against Zimbabwe has ended up as a one-sided affair. The hosts looked like a well-oiled machine, both in the batting and the bowling departments. Batting first, England has posted 565/6 with Zack Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope all scoring tons. And with the ball, Shoaib Bashir ended up with nine wickets, helping Ben Stokes’ side win by an innings and 45 runs. Former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott acknowledged that Zimbabwe has not been the toughest opposition, but was also wary of the fact that the top three do go in with full confidence for the upcoming series against India on the back of the runs they have scored. “The top three of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope made hundreds. Well done. It is not their fault the bowling was so poor. It was exactly what any batsman wants early season: easy runs. Runs breeds confidence, confidence sets you up for the summer. Form and confidence is everything. They did their job but, if we’re honest, …

[ad_1] In the heat of the moment during the game between Bangladesh vs South Africa, emerging four-day match players from both sides, Ripon Mondal and Tshepto Ntuli, respectively, have gotten themselves into a physical altercation on Wednesday in Dhaka. The incident occurred after Ripon hit Ntuli for a six, exchanged a glance with the bowler, and as Ripon was batting towards his partner, Ntuli charged towards the batter. In addition to the words exchanged, both players also shoved each other. Despite one of the umpires intervening, both players continued. It was the players and the other umpire, too, who came between the duo to calm down the tension. “This is extreme, this is unacceptable. Normally, we see verbal altercations in a cricket field, but we don’t often see a scuffle. Ntuli struck Ripon’s helmet at one point,” one of the on-air commentators said as quoted by ESPN Cricinfo.
