Melbourne, Aug 7 (Ians) Australia have announced some surprise selections in their 18-player squad for this year’s Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup in India.
Uncapped leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha and inexperienced all-rounder Aaron Hardie are the surprise inclusions, with Test star Marnus Labuschagne the notable omission from Australia’s squad that will be reduced to 15 players closer to the start of the tournament on October 5, reports Icc.
Under Icc regulations squads must be finalised prior to September 28, with Australia’s first game at this year’s World Cup coming against hosts India in Chennai on October 8.
Captain Pat Cummins will be racing against the clock to be fit for that opening contest, after it was revealed the fast bowler picked up a fractured wrist during the recent Ashes series against England.

Manchester, July 17 (Ians) Veteran quick James Anderson has replaced fellow pacer Ollie Robinson in England’s playing eleven for the fourth Ashes Test starting at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Anderson was rested from England’s playing eleven for the third Test at Headingley, where they won by three wickets to keep the series alive. He now comes in for the Manchester Test in place of Robinson, who experienced back issues during the victory at Headingley. The back issues meant Robinson bowled only 11 overs in the first innings and didn’t bowl at all in second innings.
In the ongoing Ashes, Anderson has taken just three wickets at an average of 75.33 in the first two Tests at Edgbaston and Lord’s. He will now have a chance to bowl from the James Anderson End at his home ground Old Trafford, something which was also indicated by skipper Ben Stokes.

Manchester, July 17 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine said he would prefer Josh Hazlewood instead of Scott Boland and sees no place for Cameron Green in the playing eleven for the fourth Ashes Test, set to start on July 19 at Old Trafford. Australia are currently leading five-game Ashes 2-1.
Boland has picked only two wickets in the two Tests he’s played, compared to Hazlewood taking eight wickets in the same period of time. At the third Ashes Test in Headingley, Mitchell Marsh marked his return to Test cricket with a century in the first innings and picked a few scalps as Green sat out due to a low-grade hamstring injury.
“People are going to be slightly disappointed if you’re looking for any headlines or any drastic changes. Both of these teams under their new coaches have tried to set an environment where guys feel really comfortable to...

Manchester, July 16 (Ians) Former fast-bowler Mitchell Johnson has suggested that Australia need to pick Marcus Harris and Michael Neser in place of David Warner and Scott Boland for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford starting on July 19.
Australia’s three-wicket loss in the third Ashes Test at Leeds has put the spotlight on the positions of Warner and Boland in the playing eleven. Warner has averaged a meagre 23.5, with just one fifty from six innings to show. Boland, on the other hand, has picked only two wickets in the two Tests he’s played.
“Put simply, Warner goes out because he’s out of form, Michael Neser comes in because he’s in form and Mitch Marsh retains his place for the same reason. Marcus Harris has been waiting in the wings for a long time since being an unlucky omission during the last home Ashes series and deserves a shot.

Manchester, July 15 (Ians) Australia’s wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey said he had no regrets over the controversial stumping of his England counterpart Jonny Bairstow in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and expressed surprise over some nasty stuff being said about it since then.
Bairstow was batting on 10 and England were at 193/5 in the 52nd over when he ducked under a bouncer from Cameron Green and inadvertently walked out of his crease. On seeing that, Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey immediately directed an underarm throw after catching the delivery, and jumped in joy after firing an accurate throw towards the stumps.
It led to chaos in the middle as Bairstow believed the ball was dead, with Australia immediately going for an appeal. On-field umpires Ahsan Raza and Chris Gaffaney sent the decision upstairs, where TV umpire Marais Erasmus confirmed Bairstow’s dismissal, as England eventually lost by 43 runs despite a heroic 155 from captain Ben Stokes.

London, July 2 (Ians) When it mattered the most for England, captain Ben Stokes dished out yet another heroic and stunning 155 in the pursuit of chasing 371. But it was not enough for the hosts to avoid a 43-run loss to Australia on a thrilling fifth and final day of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s on Sunday.
Resuming the final day on 114/4, Stokes and Ben Duckett (83) added a further 63 runs before the former fell to Josh Hazlewood just after the first hour of the morning session was over.
Jonny Bairstow was run-out in controversial circumstances for 10, as wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps after the batter wandered out of the crease while avoiding a bouncer, leaving England at 193/6, with the crowd booing Australia and some confrontational scenes happening in Long Room at lunch break.

London, July 2 (Ians) Australia have asked for the Marylebone Cricket Club (McC) to investigate incidents of its players being abused and confronted by members in the Long Room during the lunch break at the Lord’s following Jonny Bairstow’s controversial dismissal on Day Five of the second Ashes Test.
“Australian management has requested the Marylebone Cricket Club (McC) investigate several incidents involving spectators in the members’ area during lunch on Day Five of the Lord’s Test.”
“It is alleged players and staff from the Australian team were verbally abused, with some being physically contacted, as they made their way to lunch through the members’ area,” said the Australian team in an official statement.

London, July 2 (Ians) On Fay Five of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, England’s wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow was run-out under controversial circumstances in the hosts’ chase of 317, leading to high drama at the iconic venue.

Birmingham, June 19 and Cummins (38), with Stuart Broad taking the other wicket to fall — Scott Boland for a duck.
The five wickets fell for just 75 runs, with Robinson ending up with the pick of the figures for England with 3-55, and Broad finishing with 3-68.
Hoping to build on the advantage, England steadily began their second innings, with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett still there when the first shower of rain came.
But a dry period allowed a sharp 3.4 over session before the rain set in again, and Australia sent back both openers with the ball moving around, Cameron Green brilliantly catching Ben Duckett in the gully off Pat Cummins for 19, and Scott Boland dismissing Zak Crawley for 7.

Birmingham, June 18 (Ians) Despite Usman Khawaja’s brilliant century on the second day of the first Test of Ashes 2023, England pacer Stuart Broad feels that the game is nicely poised and they are one or two wickets away from the tailenders of Australian batting line-up.
Khawaja’s superb unbeaten 126, his 15th career century but his first in Tests in England, and his vital partnerships with Travis Head (50) and Alex Carey (52 not out) helped Australia finish Day 2 on Saturday at 311/5, trailing England by 82 with five wickets remaining.

Birmingham, June 18 (Ians) Opener Usman Khawaja hit his seventh Test century since being recalled by Australia to lead a solid effort on day two of the first Ashes Test against England at Edgbaston.
Khawaja’s brilliant unbeaten 126, his 15th career century but his first in Tests in England, and his vital partnerships with Travis Head (50) and Alex Carey (52 not out) helped Australia finish the day on 311/5, trailing by 82 with five wickets remaining.
Khawaja’s record since returning in the Sydney Test against the same opponents back in January of 2022 has been phenomenal.
The left-hander has hit tons in India and Pakistan in that time, as well as reaching triple figures at home against South Africa and England. But his record in English conditions had been poor before this outstanding knock in Birmingham.
Khawaja has now scored 1747 runs in the 31 innings since his return to the Australian fold, averaging an extraordinary 69.88 in that time.

Birmingham, June 17 (Ians) Usman Khawaja struck a patient unbeaten century (126 not out) while Travis Head (50) and Alex Corey (52 not out) continued their superb form from the World Test Championship final by scoring vital half-centuries as Australia reached 311/5 against England at stumps on the second day of the opening Test of the Ashes 2023 series here on Saturday.
Having survived a tricky period on the first evening after England surprised everyone by declaring their innings at 393/8, Australia came out hoping to take advantage of the situation at Edgbaston here.
But they lost early wickets as David Warner fell victim to Stuart Broad for the 15th time in their career and Marnus Labuschagne failed to trouble the scorer and Steve Smith could manage only 16, Khawaja and Travis Head rescued Australia from a precarious 67/3.

Unfortunately, the enormous wealth, adulation and following that Indian cricket attracts, somehow, seems to blind one to the actual fact of where one honestly stands. One admires positivity, however, the world around us has shown that ignoring reality is a flaw which has brought even large corporate houses to their knees. A cupboard bare of a world cricket trophy, when one feels Indian cricket is flourishing, truly reflects our cricket and cricketers.
If one compares the team when India played New Zealand in the inaugural Wtc Final in 2021 in England to the present one that played Australia, the top five batters were exactly the same and two of the bowlers were as well. India did miss a beat by not including R. Ashwin in the playing XI but how could one drop the leading wicket-taker of the World Test cycle is a matter one fails to fathom or understand.

Birmingham, June 15 (Ians) Australia head coach Andrew McDonald admitted seamer Scott Boland hasn’t done anything wrong in the chances he’s got with the Test team, saying he has given selectors a headache when picking the playing eleven for the highly-anticipated Ashes.
Boland played a key role in Australia bowling out India for 234 on day five of the World Test Championship Final at The Oval, taking out Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in quick succession to set the base for a 209-run victory.
The seamer took five wickets overall in the match after Australia preferred to pick him over Michael Neser with Josh Hazlewood unavailable due to injuries. Ahead of the first Ashes Test starting from June 16 at Edgbaston, Australia have to make a selection call between Boland and Hazlewood vying for a spot in the playing eleven.

New Delhi, June 12 (Ians) Australia and India have been handed hefty fines for maintaining slow over rates in the Icc World Test Championship Final held at The Oval.
India slipped to defeat early on day five of the Wtc Final, losing by 209 runs to Australia on Sunday.
An additional 15 minutes were taken at the end of the session to allow the final wicket to be taken, and Nathan Lyon picked up the scalp of Mohammed Siraj to secure Australia the Wtc title.
India have been fined 100 percent of their match fee while Australia docked 80 percent of their match fee due to their sluggish over rates, breaching Article 2.22 of the Icc Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.

London, June 11 (Ians) Icc Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting feels that Cameron Green catch that saw Shubman Gill dismissed at a crucial stage of the Icc World Test Championship Final on day four will be discussed a lot and “everyone in India will think it is not out and everyone in Australia will think it is out”.
Gill was given out by TV umpire Richard Kettleborough on the stroke of tea on the fourth day of an enthralling contest at The Oval on Saturday after India made a bright start to their run chase, with 444 needed for victory.
Pacer Scott Boland found the edge of Gill’s bat and Green dived to his left in his favoured gully position to complete the catch, but debate has opened up in the cricket world on whether the Australia all-rounder had successfully got his hands under the ball and controlled it.

He maintained: "Everyone in the dressing room believes 100 per cent that we will win tomorrow. 280 runs (which is what India need to win the Test on Day 5) is not a big score. We need to focus on our batting and play ball by ball."
Sent out for the same duty by the Australians, all-rounder Cameron Green countered: "It will be crucial to keep our nerve. One or two wickets and we are back on top."
About the pitch, he remarked, "We feel there is a lot in there."
India were 164 for three at stumps at the end of Day 4, requiring another 280 runs to lift the crown in cricket’s most prestigious championship.
Virat Kohli and Ajinky Rahane are still unbeaten.
Asked to comment on the catch he took at gully to dismiss Shubman Gill, Green stated: "At that moment, I thought I had caught it cleanly and the third umpire agreed.

London, June 10 (Ians) Australia looked to be in a prime position to win the World Test Championship Final when they declared on 270/8, as Alex Carey top-scored with 66 not out, and set India a daunting target of 444 at The Oval on Saturday.
In their pursuit of breaking the world record of 418 for the most successful fourth innings chase in a Test match, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane put together a solid unbeaten 71-run partnership for the fourth wicket, on yet another day of gripping action, and take India to 164/3 at stumps on Day Four.
On a pitch that flattened out and was devoid of demons in terms of movement and bounce, Kohli was in fantastic touch to be 44 not out off just 60 balls, with Rahane unconquered on 20.

London, June 10 (Ians) India opener Shubman Gill’s dismissal, caused by a one-handed catch by Cameron Green in the second innings of the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final at The Oval here on Saturday has triggered a widespread debate on whether the ball had touched the ground or not.
Gill was out when Boland extracted an outside edge off his defensive prod, and the ball flew low to Green’s left at third slip. The tall all-rounder took out his left hand and took a one-handed screamer, with the third umpire Richard Kettleborough adjudging it as a clean catch after viewing multiple replays of it.
As soon as the ‘out’ decision was shown on the giant screen, Gill and India skipper Rohit Sharma were left unconvinced by the decision as tea was taken immediately, with fans debating whether the batter was out or not, as well as if Green had...

London, June 10 (Ians) India lost Shubman Gill under debatable circumstances at the stroke of tea on Day Four in a daunting chase of 444 in the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final against Australia at The Oval on Saturday. At the end of the second session, India reached 41/1 in 7.1 overs with Rohit Sharma looking fluent in his 22 not out.
India were put in to chase after wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey remained unbeaten on 66 as Australia declared their second innings at 270/8 in 84.3 overs, inviting India to break the World Record of 418 for the most successful fourth innings chase in a Test match for winning the coveted Mace.
With the ball not moving much and bounce not troublesome, India made a fast start as Rohit Sharma looked classy with a pull and on-drive off Cummins to pick two quick boundaries. Gill joined the party with a gentle punch through cover and getting a thick edge...

At draw of stumps on Day 3, Australia were 123/4, leading by 296 runs, with Marnus Labuschagne (41*) and Cameron Green (7*) holding fort.
Answering a question, Thakur said: "Cricket is a funny game. You never know how much we can chase."
Thakur, however, described the wicket as "under prepared".
"There is an area (at the Vauxhall End side of the pitch) from where the ball is rising. Today some balls also kept low," he said.
On Ajinkya Rahane not fielding after top-scoring with 89, Thakur disclosed he was hit on a finger while batting, but stressed that "it doesn’t look too bad".
Speaking to the media, Australia seamer Mitchell Starc praised Rahane’s innings, saying, "Jinx (Rahane’s nickname) played really well. A special catch (by Cameron Green) got him out. We know what a good player he is."

But it is still an uphill climb for India to save the Test.
In their second venture, Australia weathered the fire and fury of Mohammed Siraj – which fetched the early wicket of veteran David Warner – and extended their first innings lead of 175 to close to 300. Only a most sensational collapse will bring India into the reckoning.
At draw of stumps on Day 3, Australia were 123/4, leading by 296 runs, with Marnus Labuschagne (41*) and Cameron Green (7*) holding fort.
With cracks appearing on the pitch which could expand on Saturday, the hottest day of the year forecast so far (28-degree Celsius), Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon could come into the frame when India bat in the fourth innings.
Admittedly, though, there was no evidence of assistance to a slow bowler when India’s left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja operated on the third day.
India may have only one left-handed batsman in all-rounder Jadeja in their ranks – often an off-spinner’s bunny.

London, June 9 (Ians) Australia continued to remain ahead in the World Test Championship final by extending their lead to 296, despite a superb Indian fightback led by Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur on a riveting day three’s play at The Oval, here on Friday.
When Ks Bharat was bowled through the gate by Scott Boland in the first over of the morning session, the fear of being bowled out quickly loomed large over India. But Rahane and Thakur fought hard to capitalise on Australia’s inconsistent bowling, as well as slices of luck coming via no-balls and sloppy fielding.
Rahane and Thakur shared a superb 109-run partnership off 145 balls for the seventh wicket to lead a superb fightback for India and avoid the ignominy of follow-on. Rahane, playing in Test cricket for the first time since January 2022, shined on his comeback with a splendid 89, his 26th half-century in the format.

London, June 9 (Ians) Marnus Labuschagne overcame a fiery examination and uncharacteristic start to be 41 not out as Australia increased their lead to 296, finishing day three’s play at 123/4 in 44 overs in the World Test Championship final against India at The Oval, here on Friday.
It was an interesting day where India made a spirited fight back, thanks to a splendid 109-run partnership between Ajinkya Rahane (89) and Shardul Thakur (51) helping the side avoid follow-on. But Australia are still in a strong position as they bowled out India for 296 in the first innings, gaining a vital 173-run lead.
India put up a much-improved show with the ball, using short balls to good effect and were bang on in their tactics too, resulting in David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith and Travis Head being out before the day came to an end.
Keeping Labuschagne company at stumps on day three is Cameron Green...

London, June 9 (Ians) Veteran opener David Warner was dismissed cheaply in a testing spell from Mohammed Siraj as Australia reached 23/1 in 11 overs of second innings at tea on day three of World Test Championship final against India at The Oval, here on Friday.
Effectively, Australia are leading by 196 runs, after taking a vital 173-run lead by bowling out India for 296 in first innings.

London, June 9 (Ians) Former India coach and captain Ravi Shastri is very disappointed by the manner of Cheteshwar Pujara’s dismissal in India’s first inning against Australia in the World Test Championship Final at The Oval and said the experienced batter should have applied himself better.
Pujara attempted to leave the ball from Cameron Green which swung in and crashed into the stumps, leaving the batter looking dejected as the stumps went down tumbling. Pujara got out for 14 and what would have disappointed the Indian team management more was that opener Shubman Gill too got out in a similar fashion, against Scott Boland, a few overs earlier.
Shastri said Gill is young and will learn from the mistake but he expected better shot selection from Pujara, who has spent the last few months in England, playing County cricket for Sussex, scoring three centuries and a half-century since April 2023.

London, June 9 (Ians) Australia’s superb bowling effort on the second afternoon of the World Test Championship (Wyc) Final with India has raised questions about how England’s Bazball tactics will fare against this bowling unit in the five-match Ashes series starting later this month.
Former Australia skipper Steve Smith said it would be difficult for the England batters, who are currently following the high-tempo aggressive style of break-neck scoring runs introduced by former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum and called Bazball if they come up against the strong Australian attack on a wicket like one they are playing at The Oval.
The Australian bowling unit of four pacers — Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Scott Boland and Cameron Green — along with spinner Nathan Lyon claimed a wicket apiece as they reduced India to 151/7 in 38 overs after Smith (121) and Travis Head (163) helped them to 469 in their first innings.

London, June 8 (Ians) For the second straight day, Australia maintained their pole position in the World Test Championship final against India at The Oval. On Thursday, they posted 469 in first innings, thanks to Travis Head’s 163 and Steve Smith’s 121, his 31st Test hundred along with Alex Carey’s cameo of 48.

London, June 8 (Ians) Mohammed Siraj picked a four-wicket haul to lead a solid fightback from India on day two of the World Test Championship final and bowl out Australia for 469 in 121.3 overs of their first innings at The Oval, here on Thursday.
Australia began day two from their overnight score of 327/3 with Steve Smith making 121, his 31st Test century while Travis Head crossed 150 for the fourth time in his career to top-score with 163 as the duo shared a massive 285-run stand for the fourth wicket after being reduced to 76/3.
But India, who took only three wickets on a lacklustre day one, made a spirited fightback to pick the rest of seven wickets to bowl out Australia for 469 on a pitch, where there is some movement and variable bounce on offer.
A persistent Siraj was the pick of bowlers for India with 4/108, also becoming the 42nd bowler from the country to scalp 50 wickets in Tests.

London, June 8 (Ians) After taking only three wickets on day one of World Test Championship final at The Oval, India staged a spirited fightback in the first session of second day’s play with four scalps, including of centurions Travis Head and Steve Smith, as Australia reached 422/7 in 109 overs at lunch, here on Thursday.
Though Australia are still ahead in the final as they amassed 95 runs in the morning session, they weren’t able to dominate thoroughly thanks to the Indian bowling line-up sticking to their plans of bowling on good areas.
India would want for their bowlers to continue doing the same in the second session on a pitch, where some deliveries misbehaved as sun shined bright, with Alex Carey and captain Pat Cummins unbeaten on 22 and 2 respectively at lunch.
The day began with Mohammed Siraj bowling two successive half-volleys to Smith, who flicked dazzlingly on both deliveries to reach his 31st Test hundred,...

London, June 7 (Ians) India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship final at The Oval here on Wednesday.
Both captains Rohit and Pat Cummins will be playing their 50th Test match through the Wtc final. The winner of the 2023 Wtc final will become the first team to win all Icc titles in men’s international cricket.
After winning the toss, Rohit said India have picked Ravindra Jadeja as sole spin option ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin, while going with four fast bowlers in Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, and Shardul Thakur.
Ajinkya Rahane also returns to the Test team after last playing in the format in January 2022, with Ks Bharat being the wicketkeeper-batter. “The conditions and also the weather being overcast (led to bowling first). The pitch won’t change too much.”

London, June 6 (Ians) The Rohit Sharm-led India will be desperate to break their barren run in Icc events and win the coveted ‘mace’ when they face Pat Cummins’ formidable Australia in the much-awaited World Test Championship (Wtc) final at the Kennington Oval, here on Wednesday.
Undoubtedly, India’s team has been the most consistent one over the past two Wtc cycles. They have also managed to reach knockout phases of major white-ball tournaments over the last 10 years but a trophy has eluded them. On the other hand, Australia will be looking to add to their enviable collection of world titles after missing a spot in the Wtc final last cycle.
As far as the competition between the two sides is concerned, India have dominated Australia in the recent past. They have won their last four Test series against Australia — two at home and two away — all by 2-1 margins.

London, June 6 (Ians) Australian captain Pat Cummins on Tuesday confirmed that fast bowler Scott Boland will be a part of the their playing XI for the World Test Championships (Wtc) final against India, starting on Wednesday at The Oval.
Boland will pace in place of Josh Hazlewood, edging out Michael Neser, a late injury replacement to the 15-man Wtc squad. Neser had been called into the Australian squad for the Wtc final on Sunday after Hazlewood was ruled out of the marquee match due to his ongoing left Achilles and left side issue.
Australia made the selection call on Tuesday and while Cummins did not name the complete side for the final, he expressed to reporters that there are “no surprises” in the rest of the side’s make-up.
Boland’s selection comes off the back of a supreme record of his Test career, taking 28 wickets in his first seven matches,...

Addressing the media here, he said: "The team that plays good cricket over five days will win. I fully believe if we play good cricket – we have the players, we have the ability – if we take 20 wickets and make runs, we can win this match."
That could be construed as stating the obvious. But he went on to say: "That there’s no hype (about India’s prospects) is a good thing."
An encouraging weather forecast for the World Test Championship final at The Oval in south London – England’s oldest international cricketing venue, where the first Test was held in 1880 – has provided a psychological boost to the Indian team, confronted as they are with the challenge of having to compete at the climax of cricket’s most prestigious championship without the benefit of match practice in English conditions.
It was a wet spring; so, there is the likelihood of residual moisture on the pitch.

On Sunday, he made a difference with the ball as he grabbed his best figures of 4-37 to help Mumbai Indians restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 200/5 as they went on to win the match by eight wickets and 12 balls to spare. Madhwal got both the Sunrisers Hyderabad openers Vivrant Sharma (69) and Mayank Agarwal (83) and then claimed two wickets off successive balls in an eventful 19th over to claim his first four-wicket haul in his maiden Ipl.
At the end of the preliminary round, the 29-year-old from Uttarakhand had eight wickets from six matches at an average of 20.35. He was the third most successful Mumbai Indians bowler behind Piyush Chawla (20 off 14) and Jason Nehrendorff (14 off 10).

Mumbai, May 22 (Ians) As his team slumped to an eight-wicket defeat with 12 deliveries to spare despite putting up a total of 200/5, Sunrisers Hyderabad chief coach Brian Lara said they were outmuscled on a belter at the Wankhede Stadium.
Srh made a great start thanks to blazing half-centuries by openers Vivrant Sharma (69) and Mayank Agarwal (83) as they shared a 140-run opening partnership. But just when it looked like the openers would go for their respective centuries and help their team to a massive total, Akash Madhwal claimed a four-wicket haul by Akash Madhwal (4-37) to restrict them to 200/5.
Mumbai Indians chased down the challenging target thanks to a brilliant maiden T20 century by Cameron Green (100 not out) and a chance-filled half-century by skipper Rohit Sharma (56) as they reached 201/2 in 18 overs.
Lara said such a result was not unexpected on the typical Wankhede wicket as 200 has been chased quite a few times here.

Mumbai, May 21 (Ians) As he came into Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 after being tagged as the second costliest player with an auction price of Rs 17.50 crore, Australia’s young allrounder Cameron Green was saddled with huge expectations.
Green generated a lot of interest thanks to his performances during Australia’s tour of India in 2022 and was picked for Rs 17.50 crore, second only to Sam Curran’s Rs 18.50 crore.
On Sunday, Green said the hefty price tag was never an issue for him during his maiden Ipl campaign and did not saddle him with extra pressure.
“No, not really. I think Mumbai as a setup has been awesome for me. As soon as I got here, I have seen no pressure from them. All the coaching staff and all the background people have been awesome for me. Put no pressure, so I can go out there and play my game,” said...

Bengaluru, May 21 (Ians) Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final league match of Ipl 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. But just three minutes before the start of play, rain arrived again, leading to pitch being covered quickly.
With Mumbai defeating bottom-ranked Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium by eight wickets, thanks to an unbeaten 47-ball century from Cameron Green and now at fourth place with 16 points, Bangalore have to beat table-toppers Gujarat to get into the playoffs.
After winning the toss, Hardik said his playing eleven is unchanged from their last game, where they won by 34 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad and decision to bowl first came due to the weather.
“Just want to know how much we are going to chase. For us to win games and continue the momentum, I believe in good habits.

Ipl 2023: Did a great favour to Rcb last year, hope the result there goes our way, says Rohit Sharma

Mumbai, May 21 (Ians) His tongue firmly in his cheek, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday hoped that his team would get the result of the “great favour” they did to Royal Challengers Bangalore in last year’s Indian Premier League as his team awaits the result of the final league match to know their fate in Ipl 2023.
Mumbai Indians went into Sunday’s clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium here needing to win their match and hoping that Rcb lose their encounter with table-toppers Gujarat Titans at Bangalore, which has been interrupted by rain. Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets and they can make it to the Playoffs only if Rcb lose to Gujarat Titans.
The “great favour” that Rohit Sharma alluded to was Mumbai Indians’ five-wicket win over Delhi Capitals at the same Wankhede Stadium that clinched Rcb’s spot in the Playoffs.

Mumbai, May 21 (Ians) Cameron Green struck a brilliant unfinished century and Rohit Sharma smashed a half-century and Akash Madhwal claimed a four-fer as Mumbai Indians scored a comprehensive eight-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ipl 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians needed to win the match to maintain their chances of reaching the Playoffs, and their progress will now depend on the result of the last preliminary league match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans at Bangalore.

Mumbai Indians, however, fulfilled their part of the bargain by scoring a comprehensive victory which took them to 16 points.

New Delhi, May 21 (Ians) Former Australia captain Ian Chappell said India will be badly affected by the absence of injured cricketers Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant while playing in the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval from June 7-11.
He further expressed surprise at the unavailability of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who last played a Test match in 2018. Apart from the trio, Shreyas Iyer and Kl Rahul are unavailable for the one-off finale due to injuries.
“The injuries to Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant will badly affect India, as they would be outright favourites with these two playing. The somewhat surprising unavailability of allrounder Hardik Pandya also harms India, as he could have provided them with the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle,” wrote Chappell in his column for ESPNCricinfo.

Mumbai, May 21 (Ians) Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in what is a must-win encounter for the hosts in their last preliminary league match in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, here on Sunday afternoon.
Mumbai Indians need to win this match by a big margin and hope that Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) either lose their match or have a no-result in their encounter with Gujarat Titans in Bangalore in the second match of the day.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma said the conditions and nature of the pitch prompted him to opt to field first. He said his team is not worrying too much about the Playoffs spot and is concentrating on playing well.
“(Going by) Just the nature of the pitch and because we’re comfortable chasing. The pitch is a bit dry, it’ll get easier to bat as the sun sets.

Kolkata, May 21 (Ians) Lucknow Super Giants (Lsg) held their nerves and survived a Rinku Singh scare to beat Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) by 1 run in an Ipl 2023 at the Eden Gardens and skipper Krunal Pandya was satisfied more than anything as his side booked a spot in the playoffs, saying that they never gave up despite being put under pressure.
Lucknow started the game on Saturday evening on 15 points and needed a win to guarantee qualification, but things looked bleak at one point, both in the first innings with the bat and in the second innings with the ball.
Asked to bat first, Lsg were reeling at 73/5 but were rescued by a stunning half-century from Nicholas Pooran which propelled the side to 176. And then, during the chase, they were under the pump having conceded 61 inside the powerplay. However, Lsg fought hard and eventually emerged victorious in the thriller.
“First reaction is satisfaction.

To be fair to players, it’s the auction dynamics — demand and supply — which often dictates the amount. Players have no control on the amount for which they are signed at the auction except finalising their base price.
However, once the auction is done and dusted, these professionals should ideally accept the reality and concentrate on producing match-winning performances for their franchise. But Ipl history suggests that more often than not, players with big price tags couldn’t deliver as per expectations and same has been the case in the ongoing Ipl 2023 season.
The Ipl franchise spent big money on the likes of Sam Curran, Cameron Green, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook and Mayank Agarwal but their performances have been ordinary.

Against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai had Devon Conway and Shivam Dube making fifties at a strike-rate above 180. They were also helped by Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu and Moeen Ali striking above 180 in their cameos to take Chennai to 226/6, which was enough for a win at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In their home match against Delhi Capitals, none of the Chennai batters reached 30 runs, but were aided by small bursts of 20s from six batters to get a win in their pocket. This trend is not limited to Chennai alone – Punjab Kings chased down 201 against them with multiple cameos while Mumbai Indians chased down 213 against Rajasthan Royals, thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s 55, followed by short yet sharp knocks from Tim David, Cameron Green and Tilak Varma.
Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa believes batters scoring impactful cameos rather than batting deep has been influenced by the impact player rule, though he expressed his worry...

New Delhi, May 17 (Ians) Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan reckons as Delhi Capitals have shifted their focus on the next season of Ipl, former India cricketer Sourav Ganguly should now be given the role of team’s head coach.
“Sourav Ganguly’s presence in the Delhi dugout is a big deal. I think if Dada is given the responsibility of coach as well, he can make a big difference in this team. Dada has knowledge of the psychology of Indian players. He knows how to run the dressing room and Delhi should definitely take advantage of that,” Pathan told Star Sports.
“At the time of the toss, Warner has said that his team has now started preparing for the next season and in this context, it would not be wrong to see Ganguly in a changed role.”
