Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is currently recovering from his index finger injury and has an ‘outside chance’ of making it to Australia’s playing 11 for the 1st Test against India starting in Nagpur on February 9. Cameron Green, who is recovering from a surgery on his index finger in his right hand, had a bowl at the nets in Alur where Australia is currently having their practice sessions. “We haven’t put a clear line through him on the team sheet. So, I wouldn’t say he was in discomfort when he was bowling,” McDonald told reporters here on the sidelines of…

With less than a week left for the series to begin, Team India will try to tick all the boxes as early as possible. One of the choices that Team India has to make is – ‘Who will be doing the glove duty in absence of Rishabh Pant in the 1st Test?’ India has three wicketkeeping options – KS Bharat, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan. 1. KS Bharat KS Bharat is an excellent wicket-keeper, which had already been known in domestic cricket. KS Bharat was the wicketkeeper in the India A team that faced Bangladesh A in the shadow series…

Many cricket experts wanted Virat Kohli to play a Ranji Trophy match before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy vs Australia that starts on February 9. But Kohli, who has more than 100 Tests against his name, feels he can switch formats easily. For Kohli, there are two threats awaiting him in this series. One is Pat Cummins, the second the spin bowling. Cummins vs Kohli Pat Cummins will not get as friendly pace conditions in India as he gets in Australia, but being a world class bowler, he will surely cause some trouble to Virat Kohli. He is smart, disciplined, and can…

Team India will return to Red-Ball action on February 9, when the side will take on Australia in the first Test of the four-match series. However, with less than a week left for the series to begin, former Australian wicketkeeper-batter Ian Healy came up with a rather controversial take on the nature of pitches in the country. “I think if they produce fair Indian wickets, that are good batting wickets, to start with, (that) probably spin and spin pretty consistently but spin a long way, late in the match … we (Australia) win. I’m worried about (Mitchell) Starc and (Nathan)…

Australia felt that they will get pitches that will be completely different from what the hosts will demand for in the first Test. They have decided to prepare themselves with the help of some domestic net bowlers. Speaking to India News, Rajkumar Sharma said, “I understand Australia’s decision not to play the warm-up game because whenever we go to SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries, they often get opposition that are considerably weaker and pitches that are completely different from what they would get in the main series. However, India doesn’t do the same when they host those…

Rohit Sharma, being the captain, will automatically get his place registered in the playing 11. The decision to pick openers, however, would be taken between Shubman Gill and KL Rahul as who would be opening the Indian innings along with Rohit Sharma. 1. Shubman Gill Shubman Gill is in the best form of his life. As an opener, he first hit his maiden ODI double-ton, and a few days later he hit his maiden T20I ton. Moreover, he has some impressive stats as an opener in Test Cricket too. His impactful innings of 91 runs at the Gabba is still…

As per Sohail Khan, Umran Malik is a promising talent, but bowlers like him are very common in Pakistan’s domestic cricket structure. “I feel this Umran Malik guy is a good bowler. I’ve seen 1-2 matches. He runs fast and has kept other things is check as well. But if you think of fast bowlers with speed in excess of over 150-155 kph, I can count 12-15 players right now who play tape-ball cricket. If you go visit the trails organised by Lahore Qalandars, you’ll find many players,” Sohail said on The Nadir Ali podcast. Also read: Fans troll Sohail…

On the “Nadir Ali Podcast,” Sohail Khan opened up on the conversation he had with Virat Kohli. He said: “Virat came. He said to me ‘Aap cricket mein abhi aaye hain. And itni baatein karte ho (You’ve just arrived and you speak so much).’ I was a Test cricketer back then. I had played Test matches in 2006-07. Then in between I endured a troubled knee which forced me out of action.” “I said ‘Beta jab tu Under-19 khel raha tha na, tera baap Test cricketer tha (Son, when you were playing Under-19 for India, your father [referring to himself]…
