‘Criticising him after just 2 or 3 matches not justified’

‘Criticising him after just 2 or 3 matches not justified’

3 min readJul 21, 2026 07:31 PM IST Ahead of the T20I series against India, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza lauded teen prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying he could become a generational talent if managed well. Raza also said that criticizing the 15-year-old player after an ordinary start to his senior career was not justified. Sooryavanshi had made his highly anticipated debut in the England series in the second T20I after replacing Sanju Samson. He was given three matches, including the 3rd and 4th T20Is but was ultimately replaced by Samson for the 5th match. Sooryavanshi scored 14, 13 and 15 in the three matches in the series which India ultimately lost 4-0. “Vaibhav is a supremely talented cricketer. If a 15-year-old kid is playing international cricket, criticising him after just two or three matches isn’t justified. I think Vaibhav has a lot of very good senior cricketers around him. If he is managed and handled well, I think Vaibhav could be a generational talent,” Raza said on JioStar. “To see what he has done over the …

3 min readJul 20, 2026 06:30 AM IST India captain Shubman Gill has expressed his concerns around the increasing injury concerns which severely dented the team’s opportunity to put out a full-strength squad in England. With Hardik Pandya already missing the ODIs, India hoped to test Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana, but both end up missing the series with different injuries. Right through the three-match ODI series that India lost, they missed players at critical junctures. Before the series began, Rana was ruled out. And from the squad that was originally named, even all-rounder Nitish ended up missing the series with injury. Then in the middle of the series, Washington Sundar picked up an injury and then KL Rahul and Bumrah too ended up missing a game each because of illness and knee injury. And Gill said it is a huge concern. “Yes, absolutely. If you look at the squad the first score we announced, out of that, at least 5 players didn’t play this match. So, one player is injured, you have to …

World Cup 2026: Why substitutes keep deciding matches in the final 20 minutes | Football News

World Cup 2026: Why substitutes keep deciding matches in the final 20 minutes | Football News

Published by Webster

Mikel Merino had been on the pitch for a mere one minute and fifty-seven seconds when he scored the goal that sent Spain into the World Cup semi-final. Belgium’s backup goalkeeper Senne Lammens, in only because Thibaut Courtois had gone off injured, spilt a Pau Cubarsi shot into his path in the 88th minute. One substitute punished another substitute’s mistake, in a match Belgium had also started without their injured captain. It was Merino’s second goal as a substitute at this World Cup, with his first coming six days earlier, in the 91st minute, six minutes after coming on, and it ended Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup. Matches at this tournament have been settled less by ninety minutes of football than by whoever is still standing in the final twenty. Sometimes that’s a substitute; sometimes just a starter who has run less than the man marking him.

How a 44-year-old war stops England, Argentina referees from each other’s World Cup matches

Published by Webster

4 min readUpdated: Jul 9, 2026 08:43 AM IST As the 2026 FIFA World Cup is leaping towards the final stretch of the knockouts, refereeing decisions have been magnified, and the scrutiny intense. They hit a crescendo during a frenzied Round of 16 match between world champions Argentina and Egypt, officiated by Frenchman Francois Letexier on Tuesday night. While the neutrality of officials has been said to be overseen by the world football body on a match-to-match basis,  Not all such combinations are welcome on the world stage, as Argentina officials may not be seen later in the tournament should England march on towards the final. The reverse is equally problematic, as seasoned English officials, Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver, will not be able to take the pitch should Argentina proceed past Switzerland from the quarter-finals.

Can’t take anything for granted, can’t just turn up & win matches: Shreyas Iyer

Published by Webster

3 min readJun 26, 2026 11:13 PM IST India captain Shreyas Iyer has sent a strong message to his team after they started the tour of UK with a defeat to Ireland in Belfast on Friday. Playing their first T20 International since they won the T20 World Cup in March, India were humbled by the hosts Ireland by 34 runs. It means, Iyer’s tenure as India’s T20 captain started with a defeat. Set 183 to win, India were all out for 148 in 18.5 overs with Abhishek Sharma being the lone batsman to put up a fight. “I think you can’t take anything for granted. You can’t just turn up and win matches. You have to work hard and see to it that you’re in that moment. Like I mentioned earlier, you’ve got to stay in the present and see to it that if you’ve got that opportunity to squeeze the opponent, we’ve got to do that. And yeah, never take any moment or situation lightly,” Iyer, who took over from Suryakumar Yadav said. Having …
