Former Coach reveals Divya Deshmukh’s similar quality like MS Dhoni: Monday (July 28) was a very special day for India, as 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh managed to win the FIDE Women’s World Cup 2025. Divya defeated Koneru Humpy in the final, who is considered one of the top female players in the world of chess.

• After Divya Deshmukh became the champion, the former coach spoke to News18 and said,

There was a fierce competition between Divya and Koneru in the final and both the classical games were drawn. After this, she won the rapid tie breaker and created history. Now Divya’s former coach has linked his disciple’s quality of flourishing under pressure to former Indian captain MS Dhoni.

MS Dhoni is considered one of the most calm players in the cricket world and despite captaining for many years, his nature has not changed. Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020 but is still seen playing in the IPL. As captain, he helped Team India win the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy title in 2013.

Apart from this, Dhoni has also made Chennai champion five times in IPL. At the same time, in batting, Dhoni performed brilliantly under pressure on many occasions and made his team the winner. Dhoni used to stay calm under pressure and play well with the minds of bowlers or batsmen and now perhaps some similar quality has been mentioned by Deshmukh’s former coach Srinath Narayan. She Deshmukh has MS Dhoni-like qualities

After Divya Deshmukh became the champion, the former coach spoke to News18 and said,

“She is a very aggressive player. But over time, she has become even more all-round and versatile. I think she is equally good in all different formats… classical, rapid and blitz. And I think her strength is to perform well in those crucial moments and difficult situations. Like Mahendra Singh Dhoni used to win matches in the last over. Something similar was seen in Divya as well, in last-round situations or when everything is under pressure. She used to perform incredibly well under pressure in important matches.”

Stuard Broad Suggest Rest Jofra Archer From IND vs ENG Oval Test: Jofra Archer was not made part of the squad at the start of the five-match Test series against India. After this, he was included in the squad for the second match but got a chance to play there as well.

• What did Stuart Broad say about Jofra Archer?

Then Jofra was seen playing at Lord’s ground in the third Test and he also played the fourth match. In such a situation, former English fast bowler Stuart Broad has given important advice to England regarding Archer, who has played two consecutive Tests. He believes that Archer should be rested from the fifth Test to be played at the Oval from July 31.

Jofra Archer has been troubled by injury in the last few years. This is the reason why he was seen playing Tests after four years. So far in the current series, Archer has bowled 88.3 overs in four innings and has taken 9 wickets during this period. However, his speed was seen a little less in Manchester but he had better line and length. England has many bowling options and the Ashes are also to be held this year. That is why Stuart Broad has said not to put workload on Jofra Archer immediately.

What did Stuart Broad say about Jofra Archer?

Stuart Broad, who was present in the commentary panel with Sky Sports, advised Jofra Archer not to play at the Oval. He said,

“We cannot repeat the same thing once again. Where Archer disappeared for four years and now come back and bowl continuously and lose him again for four.”

Broad feels that England should think about playing Gus Atkinson in the fifth Test, who has not played a single match in this series so far. The former right-arm fast bowler said,

“I think Gus Atkinson should play. I know he has no workload, but we have to see him. So far he has not got any special challenge against top level opponents in Test cricket.”

Let us tell you that England has added one player to its squad for the Test to be held at the Oval and has included all-rounder Jamie Overton. There are also questions on the fitness of captain Ben Stokes. In such a situation, it remains to be seen with which combination the English team takes the field and which players are seen in the playing 11.

Tilak Verma: Samson was able to play only half of IPL 2025 due to injury, from which he has not yet recovered.

Tilak Verma is all set to captain South Zone in the Duleep Trophy to be held in August. The BCCI has decided to adopt the zonal format back for the upcoming edition, that is, now there will be South Zone, North Zone, East Zone and West Zone. Now a report has claimed that Hyderabad batsman Tilak Verma is all set to captain South Zone in the Duleep Trophy.

• South Zone Duleep Trophy 2025 Squad

The Tilak Verma-led side will take on the winner of the quarter-finals in the first semi-final, which will be played at the BCC Centre of Excellence Grounds in Bengaluru. If the team wins or takes a first innings lead in the semi-final, it will play the final against the winner of the second semi-final, where West Zone is one of the pre-seeded teams.

According to the Indian Express

According to the Indian Express, Tilak will be the captain of the South Zone while Azharuddin will be the vice-captain. The team includes many renowned players like Sai Kishore, Devdutt Padikkal, N Jagadeesan and Vijaykumar Vaishakh. Surprisingly, Tamil Nadu’s Sai Sudarshan, who was part of the Indian team playing on the England tour, has not been included in this team.

Tilak was formally finalized as the captain after the zonal selection committee meeting in Puducherry recently. Meanwhile, Mohammad Azharuddin, who led Kerala to the Ranji Trophy final last year, has been named as the vice-captain of the team. The Kerala team is missing star cricketer Sanju Samson. However, the wicketkeeper-batsman suffered an injury during IPL 2025 and may not have recovered yet, which is why the selectors considered him.

South Zone Duleep Trophy 2025 Squad

Nitish Kumar Reddy: Player management agency Square The One Pvt Ltd has filed a petition under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

Nitish Kumar Reddy: Team India and Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has landed in legal trouble as his former agency Square The One Pvt Ltd has filed a suit against him in the Delhi High Court for non-payment of dues of Rs 5 crore.

• Reddy ruled out of England Test series

The agency Square The One Pvt Ltd has filed a petition under Section 11(6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act alleging breach of management agreement and non-payment of dues. The matter is scheduled to be heard in the Delhi High Court on July 28.

Reddy ruled out of England Test series

Nitish Kumar Reddy is part of Team India in the ongoing Test series against England. The 23-year-old was not part of the playing XI in the first Test played at Headingley in Leeds, while he was also part of the team in the next two Tests played at Edgbaston and Lord’s. However, Reddy has been ruled out of the rest of the Test series due to a knee injury he suffered during a gym session in Beckenham.

After pulling out of the Test series against England due to injury, the timing of the legal dispute couldn’t be worse for Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is still trying to cement his place in the national team. If the case progresses, this legal dispute could not only affect his career but also his future endorsements.

Square The One had been representing Reddy since 2021, before his emergence in the Indian Premier League (IPL), close sources said. During their four-year association, the agency set up several brand endorsements and business partnerships for the cricketer.

India Today quoted a source as saying, “90 per cent of such disputes do not reach the court and are settled privately. But in this case, Nitish has refused to pay any money and claimed that he himself had finalised the deals.”

Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy has reportedly returned home after being ruled out of the Test series against England and is likely to undergo rehabilitation and recovery at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru.

Azharuddin furious after India-Pakistan match got approval in Asia Cup, said this big thing

By Mahi / July 28, 2025

Azharuddin criticized this move of BCCI and ACC.

Former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin has sparked a debate by challenging the match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup despite bilateral cricket being suspended due to political tension. Azharuddin demanded continuity and argued that if teams refuse to play bilateral series with each other, then they should not meet in international tournaments.

India and Pakistan will face each other on September 14 in the Asia Cup 2025 organized by the Asian Cricket Council. This much-awaited match is expected to grab a lot of attention.

If you are not playing bilateral matches, then you should not play international matches either: Azhar Azharuddin

Azharuddin said, “I always say that everything should happen, or else if it does not happen, it should not happen at all. If you are not playing bilateral matches, then you should not play international matches either – this is what I believe.” His comments directly question the status quo where India and Pakistan clash only in ICC or ACC competitions, and the two have not played a bilateral series since 2012/13.

Azharuddin stressed on this inconsistency in the schedule and reiterated the need for a unified stance on cricketing relations between the two countries. He also clarified that the Indian Champions team’s withdrawal from the match against Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends 2025 was not related to cricket recognised by the Asian Cricket Council.

Azharuddin said, “It is a matter of the board and the government. The Champions League is not official, it is not recognised by the ICC or BCCI. It is organised privately. But the Asia Cup is a tournament which is conducted by the ACC.”

Meanwhile, the Asia Cup 2025 is scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates. Eight teams will participate in this tournament, which have been divided into two groups. Group A comprises India, Pakistan, UAE and Oman, while Group B comprises Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Hong Kong. The competition will begin on September 9, with Afghanistan taking on Hong Kong. The top teams from each group will advance to the Super 4 stage, with the final scheduled for September 28.
