BCCI must examine team management's role in failures, says Saba Karim

Former national selector Saba Karim has urged the BCCI to scrutinise the Indian team management's role in the unprecedented twin T20I series debacles against Ireland and England and take appropriate measures. India lost 0-2 to Ireland and were whitewashed 0-4 by England in back-to-back T20I series defeats. "After such a disastrous series - a whitewash with huge margins of defeat - no one can abdicate responsibility - not only the support staff including Head Coach Gautam Gambhir but also the captain (Shreyas Iyer) and the vice-captain (Tilak Varma)," Karim told PTI during an interaction. "I think, these people are the think-tank of the Indian side, more so when you're travelling outside India. The BCCI must examine their role and responsibility for the debacle," the former India stumper added. The former India selector, however, gave the newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer, the benefit of doubt and urged selectors to persist with him. "I hope that once you have invested in a capt

Prince named in ODI squad; Bishnoi replaces Varun for Zimbabwe T20Is

Young pacer Harshit Rana and veteran spinner Varun Chakravarthy have been ruled out of competitive cricket for indefinite period due to hamstring injuries of various degrees, while Prince Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi named as their replacements for India's upcoming ODI and T20I assignments respectively. Prince will be linking up with the ODI squad in England in the absence of Rana. Leg-spinner Bishnoi, whose expensive 17th over that went for 29 runs, the single biggest reason for India's defeat in the second T20I against England at Old Trafford, got a lifeline after replacing Chakravarthy for the three-match T20I series in Zimbabwe starting later this month. "Rana reported a sudden onset of discomfort in his right hamstring during the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge. Subsequent scans revealed a Grade 1 hamstring injury," BCCI said in a statement. "He has been ruled out of the forthcoming ODI series against England and will report to the BCCI Centre of Excellence (COE) for furt

Pakistan fielding coach McDermott steps down before WI, England series

Pakistan fielding coach Shane McDermott has resigned ahead of their upcoming tour to the West Indies and England after a year-long stint. A reliable source close to the Pakistan Cricket Board said McDermott will not travel with the team on those aforementioned tours. The PCB is keen to appoint Mansoor Amjad, who has worked with Shaheens and Under-19 teams, as the Australian's replacement. "Mansoor Amjad who has been the fielding coach with the Pakistan Shaheens and under-19 is likely to replace McDermott," the source said. Pakistan will leave on Monday for the two-Test tour to the Caribbean, and subsequently will travel to England for three Tests. The PCB has not specified any reason for McDermott's resignation, and it has added another instance to a foreign coach leaving his assignment in Pakistan cricket in unexplained circumstances. Recent examples being the outgoing trainer/physio Cliffe Deacon, and the resignations of head coaches, Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie. Pakistan

West Indies seal 7-wicket win over New Zealand, lead ODI series 1-0

Keacy Carty was dismissed on 95 and Shai Hope made an unbeaten 87 in a 131-run third wicket partnership which steered the West Indies to a seven wicket win over New Zealand on Saturday in the first of five one-day cricket internationals. Carty fell just short of his fifth ODI century, a year after his fourth, as the West Indies surpassed New Zealand's total of 267 with seven balls remaining. Hope anchored the innings after his partner's dismissal, adding 45 runs from 31 balls in an unbroken partnership with Sherfane Rutherford who finished 22 not out. New Zealand leaned again on allrounder Daryl Mitchell to reach 267 after losing the toss and being sent in. Mitchell, whose gritty century in the recent third test against England secured a series victory, top-scored with 65 in an insipid New Zealand batting effort. Will Young made 49 in an 80-run opening partnership with Henry Nicholls (27) but Michael Bracewell (29), Mark Chapman (27), Tom Latham (25) and Mitchell Santner (21) all ..

Yash Thakur fulfils late father's dream with maiden India call-up vs ZIM

When Vidarbha pacer Yash Thakur steps into the Indian dressing room for his possible national debut during the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, it wouldn't exactly be the story of a fresh-faced rookie. It would be a tale of perseverance built over nearly a decade of domestic grind, fuelled by a father's ambition who tragically did not live to see the dream finally coming true. The 27-year-old Thakur received perhaps the most important phone call of his professional life so far while waiting to collect his baggage at the Nagpur airport after returning from India A's tour of Sri Lanka recently. It was to inform of his maiden India selection for the tour of Zimbabwe tour that will feature three T20 Internationals from July 23 to 26. "Honestly, I wasn't expecting anything because I had only just come back from the Sri Lanka tour. I never thought I would get a call so soon," an emotional Thakur told PTI in an exclusive interview. His List A debut was back in 2017 and he is nearing 100 wicket
