New Zealand pacer Matt Henry has been rendered doubtful for the Champions Trophy final against India owing to a shoulder niggle but coach Gary Stead is hopeful that the in-form bowler will recover in time for the clash on Sunday. Henry leads the tournament's top wicket-takers' list with 10 scalps, including a 5/42 against India in their group match. The 33-year-old injured himself when he landed on his shoulder during the semifinal against South Africa in Lahore on Wednesday. "Matt obviously landed on his shoulder and it was pretty uncomfortable. I guess the positive thing from our perspective is that he got back out there to bowl. We've had some scans done on him," Stead told reporters here on Friday. The coach was hopeful that Henry would be ready in time for the final. "We're going to give him every chance to be playing in this match, so still a little bit unknown at this stage. "He's obviously pretty sore just from landing on the point of his shoulder, but yeah, hopefully he

The national president of the All India Muslim Jamaat, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, said on Thursday that Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has committed a sin by not fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramzan. "In the eyes of Shariat, he is a criminal, he should not have done this at all," the Barelvi cleric said. In a video, Shahabuddin said Shami was seen drinking something from a bottle on the field during a match against Australia on Tuesday. He advised Shami to follow the rules of Shariat. "It is the responsibility of all Muslims to follow the rules of Shariat. Fasting is obligatory in Islam. If a person does not keep a fast intentionally, he is considered a sinner according to Islamic law," Razvi said. "Playing cricket is not bad, but Mohammed Shami should fulfil his religious responsibilities. I advise Shami to follow the rules of Sharia and be responsible towards his religion," he added. Shami is in Dubai these days. He is part of the Indian squad for the ongoin
Kane Williamson stood between India and an all-win record in the Champions Trophy group stage, keeping New Zealand's chase of 250 flickering with a polished 81. Till then batting judiciously, Williamson gave a full-hearted charge against Axar Patel and the slightly slanted delivery evaded his downcoming bat for KL Rahul to complete the stumping. It was the last ball of Axar's spell that read 10-0-32-1, and stood out for its accuracy and the cunningness to maximise his ability in favourable conditions. But the effort understandably went unnoticed in the din surrounding fellow spinner Varun Chakravarthy's five-wicket haul. But it is nothing new for Axar, as he once was labelled mercilessly as poor man's Jadeja' for the similarity in his skills a left-arm spin bowler and a left-handed batter. However, it was true that Axar was struggling to break free from the shadow of his illustrious senior teammate. The only way Axar could have cut open a path for himself was to improve his batt
Architect of India's win over Australia in the Champions Trophy semifinal, Virat Kohli said that as long as his love for the game remains and he continues working for the team, he has no doubt that success will follow. Kohli once again showcased his big-match temperament with a knock of 84 off 98 balls against Australia in the semifinal, guiding India to a clinical 4-wicket win, chasing down the 265-run target in challenging conditions on Tuesday. He had struck a century against arch-rivals Pakistan in the group stage. "I just love playing this game, I just love batting. As long as love for the game and batting is alive, all other things can take care of themselves," Kohli said in a video posted on BCCI.TV. "You are not going to a desperate situation and put your head down, thank God. Just keep working towards what the team wants, you will have results like these more often than not." Kohli's knock included some quick singles and doubles, with only five boundaries in his ...
