WI to get nothing from India series despite USD 30 million revenue: Dehring

Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring has criticised the revenue model for bilateral cricket that allows the host country to keep 100 per cent of the series earnings, citing the ongoing white-ball engagement with India from which his nation would "get nothing" from the expected USD 20 to 30 million returns. The West Indies are due to play the fifth and final T20I of the ongoing series on Saturday in Bengaluru. Speaking to Wisden's 'The Scoop', Dehring said the model that was adopted in 1997 essentially triggered the demise of the game in the Caribbean. "West Indies cricket receives nothing in this case, because the series is being played in India. A series that could generate USD 20 million to USD 30 million in India brings West Indies cricket no revenue," Dehring said. "To understand how this happened, you have to go back to 1997. I was fortunate, or unfortunate, to be around when the ICC member countries voted to change the financial model that underpinned world cricket. "Until

Slower deliveries key to West Indies' win in 4th T20I, says Keemo Paul

Pacer Keemo Paul said the West Indies bowlers employed slow balls to maximum effect on a slightly gripping pitch during their 24-run win over India in the fourth T20I here. West Indies bowled out India for 223 after posting 247 for three and Paul marshalled the tourists' defence with a five-wicket haul on Wednesday. "From the batters' perspective, the message we got after the first five overs was that it was a pretty good wicket. One or two balls were gripping, but other than that, it was pretty good," Paul said in the post-match press conference. "As bowlers, the slower balls helped us here. On other wickets and at other grounds, we haven't been getting much grip, but it worked here," he added. Paul struck at crucial stages of India's chase, dismissing Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prince Yadav off successive deliveries before removing Axar Patel to seal the West Indies' victory. "The game plan was to keep bowling into the wicket for as long as possible and execute our yorkers when we k

Samson defends bowlers after WI loss, says Tilak's wicket proved costly

Sanju Samson on Wednesday defended India's bowlers after their 24-run defeat to the West Indies in the fourth T20, saying the emerging pacers will improve with experience while identifying Tilak Varma's dismissal as the turning point of their failed chase. India were bowled out for 223 in 19.3 overs after the West Indies posted 247 for three, with Shai Hope smashing an unbeaten 102 off 50 balls and Keemo Paul claiming a five-wicket haul to level the five-match series at 2-2. Samson said India has no replacement for the rested Jasprit Bumrah, describing the pace spearhead as a once-in-a-generation bowler, but backed the emerging fast bowlers to improve with experience and opportunities. "He is a once-in-a-generation bowler, and we are very lucky to have him. But we also have some really good talent coming through. Arshdeep has been doing a great job, and the way Prince Yadav has bowled in the last few games has been very impressive. "We have some really good quality talent, and the

IND vs WI 4th T20I: Hope and Paul shine as West Indies level series 2-2

Keemo Paul's 5 for 41 followed Shai Hope's first-innings 102 not out as a clinical West Indies beat India by 24 runs in the fourth T20I to level the five-match series 2-2 here on Wednesday. The fifth and final T20I will be played on Saturday at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Sanju Samson struck a 23-ball 56 at the top but India fell way short in the run chase, getting bowled out for 223 in reply to the West Indies' 247 for three. Arshdeep Singh copped a blow to his right shoulder in the final over from Shamar Joseph and subsequently retired out. Earlier, Hope led the way with 102 not out as the West Indies posted a huge total. Hope struck nine sixes and four fours to make his runs off 50 balls. Sherfane Rutherford made 49 not out off 26 balls with four fours and three sixes. Brief scores: West Indies 247/3 in 20 overs (Shai Hope 102 not out, Shimron Hetmyer 33, Sherfane Rutherford 49 not out; Prince Yadav 1/36) beat India 223 all out in 19.3 overs (Sanju Samson 56, Tilak Varm

Sammy says West Indies' powerplay struggles hurting them against India

West Indies need to win both powerplays to beat India in India, head coach Darren Sammy said on Tuesday, identifying the first six overs as the decisive phase in the ongoing T20I series while backing experienced all-rounder Roston Chase amid criticism over his place in the side. India lead the five-match series 2-1 ahead of the fourth T20 International here on Wednesday, with Sammy saying his side had repeatedly been forced to recover from expensive powerplays while bowling. "I think the powerplay was the difference that prevented us from going 2-1 up, because we could have been 2-1 up as well," Sammy said. He pointed out that India had scored at nearly 14.5 runs per over in the powerplay, despite West Indies restricting the scoring rate to below 10 runs an over in each of the subsequent three phases. "For us, it is about controlling the powerplay. So far, we have had to pull the game back every single time. That is an area we need to work on," he said. "To beat India in India, yo

India need attacking mindset to take wickets vs West Indies, says Tilak

India need to hunt for wickets rather than containing a power-packed West Indies batting line-up, vice-captain Tilak Varma said on Tuesday, stressing the importance of bowling plan execution as the hosts look to seal the five-match T20 International series in the fourth game itself. India are 2-1 ahead in the series and a win on Wednesday will give them an unassailable lead, while the visitors will be eager to draw level. The West Indies demonstrated their batting firepower by chasing down India's 249 in the second T20I, with skipper Shai Hope smashing a 45-ball 102. Tilak said India ill afford to relax against a side whose power-hitting extends till the last batter in the line-up. "The West Indies are a really good side, especially in T20 format. They play so much franchise cricket, so they know how to play this format. The power they have is unbelievable," Tilak said at the pre-match press conference on Tuesday. "Everyone can hit the ball. It is not just the openers, number thre

IND vs WI 3rd T20: Abhishek-Arshdeep shine as India go 2-1 up in the series

Abhishek Sharma's scintillating 69 and pacer Arshdeep Singh's crucial three-wicket haul paved the way for India's 14-run victory against the West Indies in the third T20I here on Sunday. India now lead the five-match series 2-1. Abhishek's 30-ball knock (6x4, 5x4) and his century alliance with Ishan Kishan (37) drove India's charge with the bat which was undone a bit by sloppy effort in the middle-overs. India made 223 all out. In reply, Arshdeep Singh (3/44) dealt a severe blow early when he cleaned up in-form WI skipper Shai Hope (5) in the second over, and accounted for Sherfane Rutherford (32) and Keemo Paul (10) later in the innings to seal the outcome of the contest. The West Indies finished at 209 for seven. The Caribbean side failed to recover from the early dismissal of Hope. Shimron Hetmyer (43, 26b; 4x6, 6x2) got a lifeline early, but he did not really capitalise. Hetmyer, who looked in rhythm for a long haul which the West Indies needed, was cleaned up by Naman Dhir

Iyer credits bowlers' confidence and clarity for India's 3rd T20I win vs WI

India captain Shreyas Iyer on Sunday credited the bowlers for powering his side to a 14-run win over the West Indies in the third T20 International here, saying they stayed confident and clear in their thoughts. India took a 2-1 lead in the five-match series with this win. "It was wonderful because the bowlers were pretty confident with what they wanted to execute. The clarity was much more visible. They were decisive in their execution and when I was passing the ball to them, each and every bowler was up for the challenge and that's what you want," Iyer said during the post-match presentation. He also praised opener Abhishek Sharma, who top-scored with a 30-ball 69, and Ishan Kishan, who made 37 off just 18 balls. "Honestly, that was a phenomenal start. Abhishek doing what he does in the powerplay and Kishan coming in. He's been great in the last few months. Even Prince (Yadav) playing the cameo in the end, those were crucial runs. "West Indies, you can never take them lightly. S

Chase's spell changed the game, says Gambhir after India's defeat vs WI

India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Friday credited Roston Chase's disciplined spell in the middle overs for checking India's charge, but said the hosts needed to find ways to defend big totals after West Indies pulled off a record chase to win the second T20I by six wickets here. Chase returned figures of 3/24, dismissing Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube in the middle overs to slow India down after a flying start. "If you look at the context of the game, it was a game-changing, match-winning spell. The way he changed his lines was important on this wicket. But against dangerous teams like West Indies, we need to find a way to defend totals," Gambhir said in the post-match press conference. "You have to keep changing your lines and make the batters guess. If you keep bowling the same line and length, they can settle in. He bowled at the batters' legs, went wide and bowled full. He kept changing his approach, and those variations are very important on wickets like these,"
