ICC Emerging Cricketer of Year: India's Arshdeep, Renuka, Yastika nominated

India left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh was on Wednesday nominated for the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year honour alongside Marco Jansen, Finn Allen and Ibrahim Zadran. Voting for the award will begin in January, said the ICC in a release. In the women's category, pace bowler Renuka Singh and batter Yastika Bhatia were nominated for the award alongside Australia's Darcie Brown and England's Alice Capsey. Arshdeep has made the short-list less than six months after making his international debut. In 21 T20 Internationals, the lanky pacer took 33 wickets at an average of 18.12, providing breakthroughs both with the new and old ball. Building on a strong IPL career, India's national setup included the left-arm quick, and he made the most of the opportunity with the team bouncing back after a disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup. Arshdeep was also handed an ODI cap on India's recent tour of New Zealand, and the future is bright for the 23-year-old. In a short span of time, Arshdeep came u

ICC T20 Cricketer of the Year: Suryakumar Yadav, Mandhana among nominees

Swashbuckling Indian batters Suryakumar Yadav and Smriti Mandhana were on Thursday nominated for the men's and women's T20 Cricketer of the Year awards, respectively, for their exploits in 2022. Suryakumar has been nominated alongside T20 World Cup-winning England all-rounder Sam Curran, Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan and Zimbabwe's batting all-rounder Sikandar Raza for the top honours in the men's category. Pakistan bowling all-rounder Nida Dar, New Zealand's Sophie Devine and Australian Tahlia Mcgrath will give Mandhana competition in the women's category. Suryakumar had a sensational 2022 in the shortest format of the game, becoming just the second batter to score more than 1000 runs in a year in the format. He ended the year as the highest run-getter, scoring 1164 runs at a ridiculous strike-rate of 187.43. His tally of 68 sixes in the calendar year in T20s is the highest anyone has recorded in the format in a year by a fair distance. Suryakumar's incredible ...

Ind-Aus Tests: Green set to undergo surgery, Starc could miss opening match

Young Australian all-rounder Cameron Green will require surgery to repair a fractured right index finger, though surgeons are hopeful the 23-year-old should recover in time to be considered for selection for the Border-Gavaskar series in India beginning on February 9. However, pace spearhead Mitchell Starc faces a potentially longer stay on the sidelines and will be in a race against time to prove his fitness for the four-Test series in India after he too suffered a finger injury while fielding during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa. The pair is already out of the third and final Test against South Africa at Sydney. A report in cricket.com.au said on Thursday after Australia's innings and 182-run win against the Proteas in the second Test that Green had consulted a specialist, who had recommended surgery. Green was hit on the finger by an Anrich Nortje bouncer and was forced to retire on day two, but he batted through pain on the third day to score an unbeaten ...

Overthinker? It's a perception that has followed me since debut: R Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin has taken a slight dig at people who perceive him as an "overthinker" of the game following his match-winning performance against Bangladesh in the second Test in Mirpur. Batting alongside Shreyas Iyer, Ashwin played one of the best Test innings of his career to steer India to a famous three-wicket win from an improbable situation. His 42 not out came after a match haul of six wickets, making him the player of the match. "Overthinking is a perception that has followed me ever since I wore the Indian jersey with pride. I have pondered about it for a while now and believe I should have seriously considered a PR exercise to erase that word out of peoples minds," Ashwin tweeted. Besides his exploits on the field, Ashwin is one of the best thinkers in the modern game and also has his youtube channel. "Every person's journey is special and unique, while some journeys require them to overthink it others can afford to keep it simple. The moment someone says I am an ove

After running in circles, India to make another 'fresh' start with NZ T20s

Having not learned from their mistakes, India will aim to shed their archaic playing style for good with the help of a "young and fearless" bunch in the three-match T20I series against New Zealand, beginning here on Friday. After the World Cup debacle in the UAE last year, India did adopt an aggressive batting approach but by the time the next edition came knocking, the top-order was found wanting and failed to take the attack to the opposition. India found themselves running in circles as the wait for their first ICC trophy in nine years got longer. With the next T20 global event two years away, India have enough time to identify and groom the players for an attack-at-all costs approach displayed by England. Hardik Pandya, who could lead the team in the next T20 showpiece, will be captaining the side in Rohit Sharma's absence. Stand-in head coach VVS Laxman has indicated that the management will be keen to add only T20 specialists to meet the requirement of the modern game. Thoug

Roadmap for 2024 T20 World Cup starts now, people will get chances: Pandya

Stand-in T20I skipper Hardik Pandya on Wednesday said the road map for 2024 T20 World Cup starts now, adding that going forward a lot of players will be given chances to stake their claim in the side. India's 2022 T20 World Cup hopes ended with a 10-wicket defeat against eventual champions England in the semifinals. Pandya, who will be leading India in the three-match T20I series against New Zealand, starting Friday, said the team needs to overcome from their World Cup failure. "Yes, we all know there is disappointment of the World Cup but we are professionals and we need to cope with it. How we cope with our success we cope up with our failures and move forward and look forward to get better rectify our mistakes," Pandya told reporters. The next T20 World Cup will be played in 2024 in the West Indies and United States and the Indian squad is expected to undergo a major transition in the next two years with the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma among others being gradually ease
