  • World Cup 2023: New Zealand expects Williamson to end the title drought, know the weakness and strength of the team

    New Zealand Despite consistently performing well in the ODI World Cup, the team has so far failed to win the title. The team has reached the semi-finals of the last four World Cups. Under the leadership of Kane Williamson, the team reached the finals in 2019 and came very close to the title but missed becoming the champion. After the regular overs game ended in a draw, the score of both the teams remained equal in the super over also. After this, due to the strange rule of scoring more boundaries, the England team became the winner. Although the statistics confirm that New Zealand has to struggle in India, but this team has always raised the level of its game in the World Cup.

    Strengths of New Zealand team: The team is always known for raising the level of its performance in the World Cup. The team was successful in reaching the finals in the last two events in 2015 and 2019. He ended the ICC title drought with the World Test Championship in 2021.

    Great mix of youth and experience in New Zealand team

    There is a great mix of youth and experience in the New Zealand team. Players like Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips WilliamsonWill get guidance from Tim Southee and Trent Boult. Experienced spinners like Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi will be effective in Indian conditions. In fast bowling, Bolt and Southee will get the support of Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry.

    Weakness of New Zealand team: New Zealand’s ODI record in India is quite disappointing. The team has registered only 18 wins in 61 matches. It has faced defeat in 47 matches while two matches have ended without any result.

    Williamson’s injury a big problem for New Zealand

    Williamson will not be available for New Zealand’s opening match against England in Ahmedabad as he is suffering from a knee injury. He suffered this injury during IPL 2023. Williamson’s performance in the tournament can largely decide the fate of New Zealand. This thirty-two year old player is the best batsman of the team in Indian conditions.

    Opportunity: This World Cup could be the last chance for the trio of Williamson, Boult and Southee to win another ICC trophy for New Zealand. Conway won the IPL trophy this year with Chennai Super Kings. The left-handed batsman will be keen to further extend his success in the white-ball format in India. Mitchell has been an important player for New Zealand with both bat and ball. Phillips, Will Young and even Rachin Ravindra would like to contribute.

    hazard: Apart from the poor record in India, New Zealand was defeated 4-1 by Pakistan in a five-match series on their soil in May this year. However, New Zealand has strengthened its World Cup preparations by winning 2-1 against Pakistan in January and recently winning the three-match series 2-0 against Bangladesh on its home ground.

  • Big blow to Australia before World Cup 2023, star all-rounder injured, changes made in the team

    Cricket Australia at the last moment world cup 2023 There has been a big change in the team. marnus labuschagne Has been included in Australia’s World Cup squad, while spinner Ashton Agar was ruled out of the team on Thursday due to a calf injury. Labuschagne has been included in the squad as one change to the final 15-man group announced by Australia earlier this month. Travis Head has retained his place despite being ruled out of the start of the tournament after breaking his hand. Five-time champion Australia will play the World Cup with only one specialist spinner in the form of Adam Zampa. Fellow leg spinner Tanvir Sangha will remain with the team at least till the end of the practice matches along with all-rounder Matt Short.

    Labuschagne’s better performance against India

    Ashton Agar played his only recent ODI for his country against South Africa in Bloemfontein earlier this month. But the 29-year-old has failed to shake off his calf problem and has failed to cement his place in Australia’s 15-man squad for the World Cup. Now experienced batsman Marnus Labuschagne has taken his place.

    The deadline for changes was 28th September

    Labuschagne was originally left out of Australia’s preliminary squad for this marquee tournament. But recent good form in 50-over cricket against South Africa and India has earned the right-handed player a late place in the team. Australia finalized its team on Thursday. All the countries taking part in the World Cup had to submit their final team list to the ICC before 28 September. Changes in teams after that date are possible only with the permission of the tournament organizers.

    Travis Head is also injured

    The Australian team decided to stick with Travis Head. Despite this, the left-handed batsman is unlikely to be available for the initial part of the tournament due to a fracture in his hand. Head was injured against South Africa earlier this month and Labuschagne’s recent good form has paved the way for the right-hander to come into the team.

    Chief selector said this

    Chief selector George Bailey said there had been one change to the original preliminary squad of 15 players announced a month earlier, with Marnus replacing Ashton. It was a difficult decision but unfortunately we could not take both Travis and Ashton to the tournament due to injuries. We have decided to keep Travis in the team with the aim of keeping him available in the middle part of the tournament.

  • Before Cricket World Cup 2023, former Indian star gave special advice to Rohit Sharma and company.

    India performed strongly in the first match of the three-match ODI series against Australia. India won the match played in Mohali by five wickets. This victory took Team India to the top in the ODI rankings. This series is very important for both the countries in the final stages of preparation for the Cricket World Cup. Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill performed brilliantly. All of them are part of India’s Cricket World Cup team. young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad Also spread the shine of his bat. However, one aspect that the Indian cricket team management may be worried about before the Cricket World Cup is the team’s fielding. On many occasions, the stars of the Indian cricket team looked disappointed while fielding and while trying to take catches.

    Mohammad Kaif warned

    Former Indian cricket team star Mohammad Kaif has warned the team before the Cricket World Cup. He posted on X, ‘Caution: If India cannot take good catches then it may be out of the World Cup. The match can be won by batting and bowling but catching is also important for victory. Indian players dropped some easy catches and looked uncomfortable at times while fielding. Many times the ball was seen slipping from the hands of the fielders. KL Rahul also missed the runout.

    India is running with two fast bowlers

    Meanwhile, India’s policy of changing its fast bowling options ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has received support from veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami. India has adopted a rotation policy for its fast bowlers since the beginning of the Asia Cup. According to this, at any point of time only two players, one Jasprit Bumrah and the other Mohammed Siraj or Mohammed Shami, are included in the playing eleven.

    This also means that medium pacer Shardul Thakur, who is more adept with the bat, has got more opportunities. However, this has helped in improving India’s batting. But this has reduced the opportunities for India’s full-time fast bowlers. Shami participated in only two matches in the Asia Cup. On Friday, he played the first ODI against Australia in Mohali and played a match-winning innings by taking five wickets. India won this match by five wickets.

    India is following rotation policy for fast bowlers

    Despite these returns, considering the rotation policy, Shami’s place in the playing eleven is not confirmed. However, Bengal’s fast bowlers are unperturbed by these developments. Shami supported this policy while speaking at the press conference after India’s win against Australia. He stressed the importance of players understanding their role, whether they are included in the playing eleven or not.

    Shami said this after being out of playing eleven

    According to an ICC release, Shami said that this is a part of the game. It is important to understand the needs of the team. It is not possible that you will always be a part of the playing eleven and team combination. When we play regularly, someone has to sit out. There’s no point in getting frustrated about it. Obviously, it is good if you are in the eleven but it is also important to be sensible when you are on the bench. That role is also very important.

  • MS Dhoni and ISRO Chief should also be given golden tickets for the World Cup, Sunil Gavaskar demanded

    ICC Cricket World Cup Will be played at 10 places in India from 5 October to 19 November. This is the first time that India will host this global tournament alone after co-hosting in 1987, 1996 and 2011. Before the tournament begins next month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is leaving no stone unturned to provide the best experience to the fans. For this bcci has started a big initiative by giving ‘Golden Tickets’ to some prominent people.

    Amitabh and Sachin got golden ticket

    Earlier this week, legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan became the first person to receive a ‘Golden Ticket’ as a special guest. A few days later, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah also presented the ‘Golden Ticket’ to the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar praised BCCI for this initiative, saying that it is a great way to honor the pioneers in their respective fields.

    ISRO chief should also be given a golden ticket

    Sunil Gavaskar, who was a part of the 1983 world winning team, also wants that BCCI ISRO chief S. Give golden ticket to Somnath, under whose leadership India landed on the moon. Gavaskar also expressed hope that the BCCI will honor the two World Cup-winning captains, Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni. Along with this, the names of other prominent athletes of their respective fields will also be included in the list of ‘Golden Ticket’ recipients, who have made the country proud in recent times.

    Gavaskar wrote this in his column

    Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar, ‘BCCI Secretary Jay Shah’s decision to honor individuals who have rendered remarkable service in their respective fields is excellent.’ Let us tell you that till the time of writing this article, Amitabh Bachchan and Sachin Tendulkar have been given golden tickets to watch the World Cup match. Gavaskar further wrote that it is not known how many other people are in the list, but it is expected that the ISRO chief, under whom India landed on the moon, will be one of them.

    Some athletes should also be given golden tickets

    Gavaskar said that obviously, this ‘golden ticket’ cannot be given to all those who have played for India. But if the associations in whose stadium the matches are being played should be instructed to invite Indian players from their city for the games to be held in that city. This would be a great step. Of course, the two others who deserve the golden ticket are the two World Cup-winning captains, Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Olympic and World Athletics Championship gold medalist Neeraj Chopra is another person who comes to mind for the BCCI’s golden ticket.

    Names of Rohan Bopanna and Sharath Kamal also included

    Gavaskar further wrote that it does not matter whether these people can participate in any match or not. This is an idea that will definitely be appreciated by the recipients. This is a great initiative which is seen in Wimbledon and US Open tennis, where current and former champions are also present. There are a lot of sports heroes in India, and if they are awarded golden tickets, the image of BCCI will really shine. Gavaskar said Rohan Bopanna, who recently finished runner-up at the US Open at the age of 43, and Sharath (Kamal), who is a super legend in table tennis, are two other names who can be given the golden ticket.
