Raina scored 74 runs in 4 matches in the tournament.

2 Yusuf Pathan

IND vs PAK Match Called Off: World Championship of Legends 2025 has started in England. The last edition of this tournament was very successful and this time too many big names are seen playing in it. This also includes the Indian team, which was to start its campaign with a match against Pakistan on July 20, but now this match has been canceled.

IND vs PAK: After the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian fans and star cricketers showed a lot of anger against Pakistan. For this reason, displeasure was being expressed on social media regarding the match and many star players including Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina had already withdrawn their names. Ultimately the organizing committee had to cancel this match.

IND vs PAK: In fact, when the terrorist attack took place, after that Indian fans had demanded that cricket matches should not be played against Pakistan. However, India’s first match in WCL was against Pakistan, in which Shahid Afridi was also present in the opposing team, who has given many controversial statements against India. In such a situation, before the match, fans were targeting Indian players on social media and were also criticizing them. Amidst such pressure, many big players thought it appropriate to boycott the match. Now the World Championship of Legends has announced the cancellation of the match.

What did WCL say in its statement?

WCL shared a post on social media platform X and said in its statement,

“After hearing the news of Pakistan Hockey Team coming to India this year, and after watching the recent India vs Pakistan Volleyball match and a few other matches of various sports between the two countries, we thought of continuing with the India vs Pakistan match in WCL – to create some happy memories for people across the world. But perhaps in the process, we hurt the sentiments of many and incited their emotions.

More than that, we inadvertently made our Indian cricket legends, who have brought so much glory to the country, uncomfortable, and we also impacted brands who had supported us purely out of love for the game. Hence, we have decided to cancel the India vs Pakistan match. We once again apologise for the hurt sentiments and hope people understand that we just wanted to bring some happy moments to the fans.”

“Workload management is a new thing” – Harbhajan Singh’s big statement before Manchester Test; defended Jasprit Bumrah

Harbhajan Singh On Workload Managent: Workload management has become an important part of the cricket world and almost all teams are focusing on managing the workload of their fast bowlers. The Indian team is also engaged in managing the workload of its key fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah so that he does not get injured. For this reason, it was made clear before the series against England that Bumrah would play only three Tests.

Harbhajan Singh: Meanwhile, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has also given his opinion on workload management and believes that perhaps this term is being used too much in international cricket. Before the Manchester Test, Bhajji said that workload management is a new thing and it has started due to the popularity of T20 cricket.

Due to the fatigue of the players for the last few years, many teams now bring different teams for different tours. Since cricket is played all year round, international teams now find the time and space to send their top players on vacation to keep them fresh for a longer period of time.

While talking to India Today, Harbhajan Singh said,

“Look, workload management is a new thing. After the IPL came, people said I will bowl 24 balls in a match and they will be perfect, and that’s how people used to train. If you go back in the past, what was the workload? Workload meant fitness. Players used to play 5-match series earlier as well. But yes, if someone is worried about injury, then you need to be careful.”

It is important to take care of Jasprit Bumrah’s workload

Harbhajan Singh further talked about Jasprit Bumrah and said that he is an honest bowler and it is very important to take care of his workload management. Bhajji said,

“Jasprit is the most honest cricketer. If he is not in pain, he can bowl not only 4 overs but also 10 overs. He did the same in Australia. He bowled so much there that he got injured. His action is very helpful in this. His run-up is short, and you have to bowl at a fast pace, so the finishing of his action puts a lot of pressure on the body. If his body is fine, let him play 5 Test matches. If he plays 5 Test matches, India will win the series. Ask any opposing team, they will say that they do not like to face Bumrah.”

Let us tell you that in the current series against England, Jasprit Bumrah has played two Tests so far and Team India has faced defeat in both. Now it has to be seen whether Bumrah plays in Manchester or not.

In the rain-affected match, Team India batted first and scored 143/8 in the stipulated 29 overs, in response, England easily achieved the target of 115 in 24 overs by scoring 116/2.

This pair was broken by Sneh Rana and Beaumont had to go to the pavilion on a personal score of 34. Captain Nat Seward-Brunt was also out after scoring 21 runs.

Harbhajan Singh: “There should be different coaches” – The veteran advised the Indian team to have split coaching; mentioned the important reason

Harbhajan Singh suggests split coaching for Team India: The Indian cricket team currently has different captains. While Rohit Sharma’s captaincy remains in ODIs. At the same time, Shubman Gill has been given the command in Tests, while Suryakumar Yadav is the captain in T20. However, Gautam Gambhir is taking the responsibility of coaching Team India in all three formats. Gambhir’s tenure has been mixed so far. In such a situation, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has suggested split coaching for the Indian team.

Gautam Gambhir was made the head coach of the Indian team last year. Gambhir was brought into this role after Rahul Dravid. Under his coaching, Team India’s performance in red ball cricket has not been anything special. During this time, India had to be clean swept in the three-match Test series at the hands of New Zealand at their home. At the same time, India had to face disappointment on the Australia tour as well. However, in white ball cricket, Gambhir helped Team India win the Champions Trophy title under his coaching.

Harbhajan Singh explains the benefits of split coaching

In an exclusive interview with India Today, Harbhajan Singh suggested that there is nothing wrong in using different coaches in red-ball and white-ball cricket as the players and teams are different. The former spinner said that this option will reduce the workload for everyone, including the coaches.

Harbhajan said,

“I think if it can be implemented, then there is nothing wrong in it. You have different teams and formats for different players. If we can do it, then it is a good option. It will reduce the workload for everyone, including the coaches. So if it can be done, then it is not a bad option. Because your coach also needs time to prepare for a series. Like five Tests against Australia, then in England, then somewhere else. So the coach can prepare and determine how his team should be. The same applies to the white-ball coach as well. He will also need time to prepare.”

The veteran off-spinner further said,

“A coach also has a family and responsibilities. In such a situation, if you make a coach do more work, then it is not easy to travel continuously with the family. So according to me the option of split coaching is good.”

Team India added Anshul Kamboj as cover: After the defeat against England at Lord’s, now Team India’s eyes are on the Test to be held in Manchester. This match will start from July 23 and for this the Indian team is preparing with full force. However, in the meantime India also got a bad news and left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has been ruled out of the fourth Test due to injury. Arshdeep got injured during practice and now after his exclusion, Chennai Super Kings pacer Anshul Kamboj has been included in the Indian squad as cover.

Uncapped in Tests, Arshdeep Singh suffered an injury to his bowling hand while stopping Sai Sudarshan’s ball on follow-through during the net session on Thursday. He has stitches on his hand and is now out of the fourth Test. There is still suspense over Akashdeep’s availability as he is suffering from back pain. Akashdeep did not bowl in the net session organized by the Indian team before leaving for Manchester. In such a situation, due to Arshdeep being out, India has decided to include Anshul Kamboj as cover.

Team India: Anshul Kamboj got reward for good performance

24-year-old Anshul Kamboj has performed very well for some time now. He impressed everyone with his bowling in domestic cricket and also did well on India A’s recent tour of England. Anshul took five wickets in two matches against England Lions. At the same time, he also hit an unbeaten half-century in batting. Anshul, who plays domestic cricket for Haryana, has played 24 matches in first class and during this time has taken 79 wickets at an average of 22.88. He also has a 10-wicket haul to his name.

Let us tell you that there was a demand to include Anshul Kamboj in the Test team for a long time but he was not getting a chance. However, now he has entered Team India and it remains to be seen whether Anshul gets the debut cap in the remaining two Tests or not.

Brian Lara slammed the West Indies Cricket Board for Nicholas Pooran’s early retirement decision

By Mahi / July 18, 2025

Brian Lara: Nicholas Pooran retired from international cricket at the age of just 29.

Legendary player Brian Lara has criticized Cricket West Indies for failing to retain top players like Nicholas Pooran in the team. Pooran, who is making a splash in T20 cricket, recently announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 29.

Lara believes that this has been done due to the board not encouraging star players. He recently raised the issue in the wake of West Indies’ embarrassing defeat against Australia, in which the team was bowled out for just 27 runs.

CWI recently called an emergency meeting with legends Lara, Clive Lloyd and Vivian Richards. The meeting took place after West Indies lost the Test series 0-3 to Australia at home. West Indies suffered a historic defeat in the third Test against Australia at Sabina Park. Chasing a target of 204, West Indies were bowled out for 27, the second-lowest score in Test cricket.

Players are earning a lot by playing in foreign leagues: Brian Lara

Brian Lara said on the ‘Stick to Cricket’ podcast, “You have many players who are thinking about their careers. You have aggressive players like Pooran, who retired at the age of 29. And to be honest, it is quite clear why he did that. There are five or six leagues around the world, and they are earning a lot by playing in them.”

He further said, “I have no problem with it. The truth is that I don’t think the West Indies Cricket Board or the administration has done anything meaningful to keep the players loyal to West Indies cricket, as the boards of countries like England, Australia or even India have done.”

“So naturally, our players are going to look elsewhere. And when you see players like Kane Williamson or even South Africans making similar choices, you understand that these guys are just trying to give their families a good life.”

Lara’s remarks are a warning to national boards to encourage players to play for the national team. He said, “It is the responsibility of the respective national boards to encourage playing for the national team, otherwise other teams may also face a decline like West Indies.”

Notably, star all-rounder Andre Russell is the latest West Indies player to retire from international cricket. He will retire after the upcoming two T20 matches against Australia.
