Shubman Gill: Former Indian asked sharp questions on the Asia Cup selection of the Indian team, said ‘What about better performers like Jaiswal-Sudarshan 2025?’

By / August 22, 2025

The former cricketer supported the decision to make Shubman Gill the vice-captain.

Former India batsman Subramaniam Badrinath supported the decision to make Shubman Gill the vice-captain in Asia Cup 2025. The way Indian cricket is moving towards its next generation, where veteran players are retiring from the game. At the same time, young star players are seen handling the responsibilities of the team well.

Badrinath expressed happiness over Shubman’s decision, but also expressed surprise at not including aggressive batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan in the team. India recently announced the team for Asia Cup 2025, in which Shubman Gill is now making a comeback as the vice-captain of the team in the T20 format after 2024.

Shubman Gill’s return threatens Sanju’s place

With his return to the team, his place in the team has also increased, where he will replace Axar Patel as the vice-captain in the team, along with captain Suryakumar Yadav. However, Badrinath believes that Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan’s performance in IPL 2025 was quite impressive and both of them deserved a place in the team after such performances. Badrinath also says that due to the arrival of Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson’s place in the playing XI may change.

Badrinath’s comment on Sai Sudarshan and Jaiswal

Badrinath said on his YouTube channel, “I consider it a positive aspect that they are supporting a young player. But what about Yashasvi Jaiswal? He has performed even better than Shubman Gill.

Apart from this, why was Sai Sudarshan, who scored 700 runs in IPL 2025, not selected in the team? While his figures are better than Gill. Gill has not been able to perform consistently well in the T20 team for the last 2-3 years. Still, he has been made the vice-captain of this team. The effect of his excellent captaincy and performance in the England series is clearly visible.

Women’s World Cup 2025: England announces 15-member team for World Cup, Danny White returns

By / আগস্ট 22, 2025

Women’s ODI World Cup starting on 30 September

For the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, which is co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, England has announced a 15-member team today on 21 August. In the tournament starting on 30 September, the team will be led by the current number 1 ICC ODI batsman Nat Seaver Brunt. This is the first time that Brunt has been given the captaincy of England in an ICC event.

Also, former captain Heather Knight has returned to the team, who was away from cricket for some time due to injury. Apart from this, Sarah Glenn and Danny White Hodge, who did not play in the ODI series against the Indian women’s team last month, have also returned to the team.

So, after the announcement of the team for the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup, the team’s head coach Charlotte Edwards said through an official press release – Playing for your country in the World Cup is one of the greatest honors in the world of sports and I am very happy for all the players selected in the team.

Like all global tournaments, it will be a big challenge, but we want to go as far as we can in India and I believe that if we play our best cricket, we can compete with anyone.

Due to the circumstances, we have chosen an additional spinner and we are fortunate to have so much depth in this department. It is great to welcome Sarah Glenn back. This means there is no place for Kate Cross, Maia Bouchier or Alice Davidson-Richards, which will be disappointing for them.

England’s full squad for Women’s World Cup 2025

Nat Seward Brunt (captain), M Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Linsey Smith, Danny White.

Asia Cup: ‘He can change the course of the game’ After the announcement of the Asia Cup team, former Indian made a bold statement about Bumrah

Asia Cup: Former legend put his side on Bumrah’s critics in Asia Cup

Asia Cup: The 15-member team has been selected for Asia Cup 2025, in which many questions are being raised about Jasprit Bumrah. On this, former Indian player Mohammad Kaif defended the experienced bowler and called him a star player. Kaif said that people should not forget Jasprit Bumrah’s contribution to his team. He reminded how Bumrah snatched many lost matches from the mouth of the opposing team and gave India victory.

Bumrah’s presence in Asia Cup is mandatory

Bumrah has to bowl only 4 overs in every match in this tournament and he can also be rested against weak teams. Bumrah was rested due to workload management on the England tour, but his presence is very important in a big tournament like Asia Cup. Kaif said, “You need a bowler like Bumrah in T20, because he can change the course of the game.”

Kaif’s statement on Bumrah

Think carefully, because you said that we lost all the matches we played in England when he (Jasprit Bumrah) played. You see how many matches he has played and India has won them, and also find out, no matter which format it is. When he plays, how many times does he give a match-winning performance? Find out these figures too. Bumrah is a promising diamond of India. Don’t complain about him. There is no stain on him.

I had already said that Bumrah will not be seen playing for long in Tests, but if India reaches the Asia Cup final, he can play seven matches. He will bowl 28 overs, and I am talking about a two or three week long tournament. There is no problem in bowling 28 overs, he will get time to recover.

Asia Cup 2025: ‘Where did Harshit Rana come from’ Former selector criticized BCCI’s selection

Posted on  by Mahi
Asia Cup 2025

Aug

Asia Cup 2025: BCCI has announced Team India for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 on 19 August.

Asia Cup 2025: Former Indian cricketer and chief selector Chris Srikkanth criticized the selection of Harshit Rana in the Asia Cup 2025 squad, in which he pointed to Harshit’s IPL performance. Srikkanth said that the selection of Harshit Rana at the expense of Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna in the team is not right. Mohammed Siraj has been performing for the team for a long time, and Krishna also won the Purple Cap in the IPL.

Asia Cup 2025: India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav defended the decision to select Harshit Rana, saying that Harshit Rana’s performance in India’s matches was good. Despite this statement, Srikkanth showed disagreement with the decision to select Harshit Rana and targeted the BCCI.

Asia Cup 2025: Suryakumar had said in the press conference at the time of team announcement, “I think he is doing really well in the IPL and the matches he has played for India. I still remember the concussion replacement match in Pune. I also remember that he was adjudged the Man of the Match in the last T20 match he played for India. So, we support his skills. We know that he has the talent to perform well for India in this format.”

Asia Cup 2025: Chris Srikkanth’s statement on Harshit Rana

Srikkanth questioned on his YouTube channel ‘Cheeky Cheeka’, “Where did Harshit Rana come from? His performance in the IPL was very poor. He is being managed. His economy rate in the IPL was 10. What message are you giving to Prasidh Krishna and Mohammad Siraj?”

Washington Sundar is right for India’s squad, not Shivam Dubey

Srikkanth also gave his opinion on the balance of the team, and said that Washington Sundar is a better option in the team than Shivam Dubey, because recently he performed brilliantly with the ball and bat in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

Asia Cup 2025 Jaiswal: ‘His strike rate is 165’ Former Indian came out in support of Yashasvi after he was dropped from the T20 team

By / August 21, 2025

Jaiswal has got a place as a reserve player for Asia Cup 2025.

Former veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed surprise at seeing the squad of Asia Cup 2025. Ashwin expressed surprise and said that the kind of decisions Ajit Agarkar and the selection committee have taken in the Asia Cup squad are quite shocking.

There was no place for rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal in the team, even though he has been performing brilliantly for the last few years. At the same time, Shubman Gill, who is making a comeback in the T20 team by becoming the vice-captain of India in this Asia Cup.

Keeping Jaiswal out can increase problems

Ashwin believes that if Jaiswal is not included in the 15-member squad even after such a top performance, due to which Jaiswal may have to reconsider his approach. To make his place in the team, he may be forced to play for personal achievements, which may affect his natural aggressive style.

As soon as Jaiswal got a chance in Test cricket, he grabbed it with both hands. He is the most successful Test batsman to debut for India in recent times. Whatever format you gave him a chance to play, he performed brilliantly in it and what else can one do other than excellence? He performed brilliantly and missed his chance in that slot. Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.

Now, he has to go back to the drawing board again, but I wish him all the best for this opportunity. The thing is that Jaiswal did not miss any opportunity, even when he had the leadership role left. Now there is only one more slot left, which will be Abhishek Sharma’s, where they will have to compete with each other.

He further said, “His strike rate is 165 [164.31] even in this format. Jaiswal never plays for himself. I have seen many batsmen who do not play for themselves, one of which is Shreyas Iyer.

Rohit Sharma will not play 2027 ODI World Cup, last series will be against Australia: Reports

By / আগস্ট 21, 2025

Rohit Sharma was last seen playing for India in Champions Trophy 2025

According to the latest media reports, Indian ODI cricket team captain and experienced batsman Rohit Sharma will not be seen playing in the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. The ODI series against Australia later this year may prove to be the last series of Rohit’s international cricket career.

It is worth noting that Rohit Sharma has been an important part of the Indian ODI team along with Virat Kohli for the last decade. Both of them participated in many ICC tournaments together and made many big records along with scoring lots of runs. However, now both are going through the last phase of their international cricket career.

After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit and Kohli said goodbye to T20 International cricket. At the same time, during IPL 2025, both of them also decided to retire from the biggest format of the game, Test cricket. Meanwhile, a big news has come out about Rohit.

Rohit’s decision to retire is being considered as part of India’s long-term strategy. By 2027, the Nagpur-born player will be 40 years old, and workload management as well as fitness is expected to be a major concern.

The team management led by head coach Gautam Gambhir reportedly wants to ensure that the next generation of players get a good experience of playing at the international level before the World Cup. Shubman Gill, who is already India’s Test captain and has recently been made the vice-captain of the Asia Cup team, is the frontrunner to become the ODI captain in place of Rohit.

A look at Rohit Sharma’s ODI career

On the other hand, if we give you information about the ODI career of 38-year-old Rohit, then till the time of writing the news, he has scored a total of 11168 runs in 273 ODIs played at an average of 48.77 and a strike rate of 92.81. During this time, Rohit’s bat has produced 58 half-centuries and 32 centuries in ODI cricket. Also, he is the only batsman to score three double centuries in ODI cricket.

‘Is he not even entitled to 5 reserve places’ Aakash Chopra after Shreyas Iyer not being selected in Asia Cup

By / August 21, 2025

Aakash Chopra: The BCCI has announced the team for the Asia Cup through a press conference.

Aakash Chopra: On Tuesday, 19 August 2025, the BCCI announced the Asia Cup 2025 squad, which did not include Shreyas Iyer’s name. The Asia Cup will be played in the UAE from 9 September to 28 September, where chief selector Ajit Agarkar and India’s T20 team captain Suryakumar Yadav revealed the names of the 15 selected players in front of the media. At the same time, former India player Aakash Chopra has raised questions after not seeing Shreyas’ name included.

Chopra said that Iyer could not have done much more to make a place in the team, and if he continues to perform well in ODIs and domestic cricket, he is likely to be selected for the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Shreyas Iyer will be part of 2026 World Cup: Aakash Chopra

Shreyas Iyer not being in the team is a big deal. What more does Shreyas Iyer have to do? What more can you do than what you have already done? You scored 600-plus runs in an IPL season, took the team to the last stage of the final, scored runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, played Ranji and won the Champions Trophy. That’s all you can do as a human being,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Aakash further said, “This is the Asia Cup team. Don’t connect it to the World Cup, because after that there are 15 T20 matches. The world changes in 15 T20 matches. If he keeps scoring runs in ODIs, sooner or later Shreyas Iyer will definitely be part of the T20 team. I am sure Shreyas Iyer will definitely be part of India’s T20 World Cup 2026 team.

Iyer’s name is not even among the reserve players

Akash Chopra said in surprise, “Shreyas’ name is not even among the five reserve players. It is understandable that you cannot keep him in 15, but you wanted lower order batsmen as backup. However, at least a place could have been made for him in the reserve players, where the selectors have kept Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Prasidh Krishna. This player’s name could have been there, doesn’t he deserve this place too?”

Rinku Singh: 2 times when Bollywood was not happy with the selection of Indian team, Shahrukh supported this player

Rinku Singh: Let us tell you about these two incidents

Rinku Singh: Indian cricket has always been very close to the heart of Bollywood actors. For some time now, some famous Bollywood actors have been seen sharing their views on cricket. Some talk about their favorite player, while others share their views on the team. Also, during IPL, we get to see the combination of cricket and Bollywood.

Rinku Singh: Well, today in this news we are going to tell you about two such incidents, when famous Bollywood actors were not happy with the selection of Team India. After the announcement of the Indian cricket team for premium tournaments, these actors shared their views. So let us tell you about these two incidents:

1 Rinku Singh: When Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan was unhappy with Rinku Singh not being selected in the team

    It is worth noting that when the BCCI announced the Indian cricket team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Rinku Singh was not selected in that team. Rinku had earlier performed remarkably in IPL and international cricket. But when Rinku did not get a place in the T20 World Cup team even after this performance, Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of IPL team KKR, put forth his side.

    After not getting selected in Team India for the T20 World Cup, Shah Rukh Khan emerged as a strong supporter of Rinku and ensured that this young talent got support during this challenging phase of his career. Taking an encouraging step, King Khan accompanied Rinku to Mumbai and gave him moral support and encouragement. This incident made a lot of headlines in the media at that time.

    2 Varun Dhawan’s reaction on Shreyas Iyer’s selection

      It is worth noting that on August 19, BCCI has announced the 15-member team led by Suryakumar Yadav for the 17th season of the Asia Cup. However, Shreyas, who has performed brilliantly in India and IPL in the recent past, did not get a place in this team.

      At the same time, recently Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan openly supported Iyer by sharing several old videos on his Instagram account. In these videos, Iyer was seen reflecting on his past neglects, emphasizing on his journey and determination.

      Iyer not being selected for Asia Cup 2025 was also disappointing for many cricket fans. After leading KKR to the IPL 2024 title, Iyer led Punjab Kings to the final of IPL 2025. However, cricket fans did not like Iyer’s failure to make it to the team even after such a remarkable performance.

      Sunil Gavaskar: Former veteran gave a big statement, said- BCCI and players will follow the government’s decision on India-Pak Asia Cup match

      Sunil Gavaskar: The former veteran has put forth his side regarding the India vs Pakistan match in the Asia Cup.

      The schedule of Asia Cup 2025 was released in the month of July itself, in which the market of discussions is hot about the India-Pakistan match. This match is quite controversial everywhere since the Pahalgam attack. Recently, in the World Championship of Legends, India’s veteran players also refused to play against Pakistan. After which this issue got more air on social media.

      In this entire hustle and bustle, it is certain that the India vs Pakistan match will be held in UAE on 14 September, which has already been confirmed by the BCCI. Meanwhile, fans are demanding the Indian team not to play against Pakistan. And the BCCI had given the green signal to this decision, due to which the criticism of this decision has increased further.

      Sunil Gavaskar’s statement on India-Pakistan match

      Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar gave a statement on this issue and said – If the government has taken a decision. So I do not think that the players can be criticized or commented on, because the players are ultimately contracted with the BCCI and they will take instructions from the Government of India. And so it completely depends on that.

      Gavaskar’s opinion on the Asia Cup 2025 squad

      Giving importance to cricket, Gavaskar praised the team selected by the Ajit Agarkar-led committee and called this team much stronger than the rest and said that this is one of India’s best teams in the last few years. In the end, Gavaskar described the team’s batting as strong, where there is a complete balance of right and left-handed batsmen, and the bowling camp also looks very aggressive.

      Well, it will be interesting to see how Team India is going to perform under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav in the upcoming Asia Cup?

      Ambati Rayudu: ‘একবার জেতা যদি এতই কঠিন হয়, তাহলে পাঁচবার জেতার কথা ভাবুন’ আরসিবির প্রথম আইপিএল শিরোপা নিয়ে আম্বাতি রায়ডু 2025

      By / August 20, 2025

      Ambati Rayudu: আরসিবি সম্পর্কে মন্তব্য করে আম্বাতি রায়ডু বলেন, “আইপিএল জেতা এত কঠিন এবং পাঁচবার জেতা আরও কঠিন।”

      Ambati Rayudu: চেন্নাই সুপার কিংসের প্রাক্তন খেলোয়াড় আম্বাতি রায়ডু বিশ্বাস করেন যে রয়্যাল চ্যালেঞ্জার্স বেঙ্গালুরু এখন বুঝতে পারবে যে ইন্ডিয়ান প্রিমিয়ার লিগ (আইপিএল) শিরোপা জেতা কতটা কঠিন, কারণ তারা টুর্নামেন্টের ১৮তম আসরে তাদের প্রথম শিরোপা জিতেছে।

      Ambati Rayudu: আরসিবি অবশেষে ২০২৫ সালে শিরোপা জিতে আইপিএল শিরোপার জন্য তাদের ১৮ বছরের দীর্ঘ অপেক্ষার অবসান ঘটায়। রায়ডু বলেন যে আরসিবি সিএসকে-র মতো দলগুলির প্রচেষ্টার প্রশংসা করতে শুরু করবে, যারা একই প্রতিযোগিতায় পাঁচবার শিরোপা জিতেছে।

      Ambati Rayudu: আরসিবির জয় নিয়ে রায়ুডুর বক্তব্য

      Ambati Rayudu: এক আলাপচারিতার সময় রায়ুডু শুভঙ্কর মিশ্রকে বললেন- “দারুন লাগলো। এখন আরসিবি বুঝতে পারছে আইপিএল জেতা কতটা কঠিন এবং পাঁচবার জেতা আরও কঠিন। দেখুন, একবার জেতা যদি এত কঠিন হয়, তাহলে পাঁচবার জেতা কতটা কঠিন হবে তা কল্পনা করুন। তাই, এটা ভালো যে তারা বুঝতে পেরেছে যে জয়ের জন্য কী করতে হয়। ভালো, তাই না? এখন তারাও শান্ত হবে। আরসিবি শান্ত হবে। তারা জয়ীদের দলে যোগ দিয়েছে, তাই তারা শান্ত হবে।”

      রায়ুডু আরও বলেন যে আরসিবি তাদের চূড়ান্ত একাদশে খেলোয়াড়দের অন্তর্ভুক্ত এবং বাদ দেওয়ার পরিবর্তে একটি নির্দিষ্ট দলে লেগে থাকার গুরুত্ব বুঝতে পেরেছিল, যা তাদের উপকারে এসেছে।

      তিনি আরও বলেন- এই বছর, আরসিবি এটা বুঝতে পেরেছিল (খুব বেশি পরিবর্তন করেনি)। তারা তাদের পরিকল্পনা এবং খেলোয়াড়দের অনুযায়ী ধারাবাহিকভাবে একই দলের সাথে খেলেছে। দেখুন জিতেশ (শর্মা) এর মতো ফিনিশাররা কীভাবে সফল হয়েছে, এবং টিম ডেভিডও ভালো খেলেছে। এটি ছিল একটি সমন্বয়।” আরসিবি অবশেষে এত বছর পর বুঝতে পেরেছে, এবং এটি একটি দুর্দান্ত জিনিস কারণ প্রতি বছর, প্রতিটি দলই উন্নতি করছে, তাই প্রতিযোগিতাও উন্নত হচ্ছে।”

      আমরা আপনাকে বলি যে বিরাট কোহলি আরসিবির হয়ে সর্বোচ্চ রান সংগ্রাহক ছিলেন, যেখানে তিনি ১৪ ম্যাচে ৬৫৭ রান করেছিলেন এবং জশ হ্যাজেলউড ১২ ইনিংসে ২২ উইকেট নিয়েছিলেন। প্রতিটি ম্যাচে একজন নতুন খেলোয়াড় দায়িত্ব নেওয়ার সাথে সাথে, আরসিবি প্রথমবারের মতো এই টুর্নামেন্ট জিতেছে।
