The FIFA World Cup 2022 will come to an end on Sunday. The tournament has been one hell of a ride. Every game has been a treat to watch. We have seen many amazing players in this tournament. But the game of football is about the youth, about the young players. This World Cup has also provided us with a younger pool of players. Here is a look at the list of the five players who can win the ?Young Player of the Tournament? award:?



<h2>Aurelien Tchouameni can win ?Young Player of the Tournament at the FIFA World Cup 2022:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Tchouameni-min-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="FIFA World Cup 2022" class="wp-image-98845" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: France Football</figcaption></figure>



Tchouameni can certainly win the prestigious award. He has effectively replaced the likes of Paul Pogba and N?Golo Kante in the French team. With that being said, the 2000-born, 22-year-old doesn?t have much international experience. But his skills with the ball are too good. He is just too hot to handle for the opposition in the mid-field&nbsp;and he made many crucial interceptions throughout the tournament. &nbsp;



<h2>Josko Gvardiol can win ?Young Player of the Tournament at the FIFA World Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



Josko Gvardiol can win ?Young Player of the tournament? too. Gvardiol has played exceptional football throughout the tournament. Josko was having a splendid tournament before Lionel Messi broke his wall-like defense. His block against Belgium was the one that helped to take the Croatians through to the playoffs. He has a good vision and is great with aerial duels.?



<h2>Bukayo Saka:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Bukayo-Saka-min-1024x1024.jpg" alt="FIFA World Cup 2022" class="wp-image-98844" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Arsenal</figcaption></figure>



Bukayo Saka scored like a freak for England. He was unstoppable in the group stage. He was raiding the opposition defense and harassing the defenders. His runs were very precise and made sure that his teammates get a lot of space with the ball. He has 3 goals to his name in this tournament. The 2001-born player is one of the top contenders for the ?Young Player of the Tournament? award at the FIFA World Cup 2022. ?



<h2>Enzo Fernandez can win ?Young Player of the Tournament at the FIFA World Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



Enzo Fernandez is one of the top choices for winning the award. Enzo plays as a central midfielder for the Argentines. His team is in the final and this makes his case even stronger. He plays for Benfica at the club level. His pace and agility are two of his top assets. What sets him apart is his ability to pass the ?through-balls?. He scored one crucial goal against Mexico.?



<h2>Goncalo Ramos: &nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Goncalo-Ramos-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="FIFA World Cup 2022" class="wp-image-98846" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Portugal Football</figcaption></figure>



Goncalo Ramos came on in one game and scored an all-important hat trick. This was one of the most impactful performances in the FIFA World Cup 2022. What may surprise the football community is the fact that he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in that game. Goncalo, the 20-year-old plays for Benfica. He will be in demand in this January transfer window. ?

FIFA World Cup 2022: List of 5 Players Who Can Win Young Player of the Tournament.?

fifa-world-cup-2022-list-of-5-players-who-can-win-young-player-of-the-tournament

The FIFA World Cup 2022 has come to a close. Some of the biggest names in the tournament were not that impressive. This was a tournament of underdogs. It was not about Neymar, Muller, or Harry Kane. The 2022 FIFA World Cup was about lesser-known underdog players. The football community came to know about players like Amrabat, Emi Martinez, and Theo Hernandez. So, which of these players will get a big contract after impressing at the FIFA World Cup 2022:?



<h2>1) Sofyan Amrabat can Get a Big Contract Post the FIFA World Cup 2022:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Sofyan-Amrabat-min.jpg" alt="FIFA World Cup 2022" class="wp-image-99028" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Goal.com</figcaption></figure>



Sofyan Amrabat, the defensive midfielder from Morocco has already started getting the calls. The clubs interested to sign him up include Liverpool and Barcelona. The price of this player has been hiked to 40 million pounds. He currently plays for ACF Fiorentina. Fiorentina are open to accepting offers for the player. Amrabat didn?t score a lot of goals but his impact was unmatched. He made many crucial interceptions. He also has a great vision. ?



<h2>2) Josko Gvardiol:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Josko-Gvardiol-min.jpg" alt="FIFA World Cup 2022" class="wp-image-99027" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Mint</figcaption></figure>



Josko Gvardiol?s cell phone has already started ringing. His agent has become one of the busiest people on the planet. There are 3 Premier League clubs who intend to sign this center-back. Chelsea, Liverpool, and even Manchester City are looking to bag Gvardiol. Apart from that one embarrassing duel against Lionel Messi, he had an exquisite tournament. His tackle against Belgium was the one that took Croatia to the semis. He is signed up with Leipzig which is a top German club but he will be keen on playing for English or Spanish clubs.?



<h2>3) Alexis Mac Allister can Get a Big Contract Post the FIFA World Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



Alexis is currently playing for Brighton Hove and Albion. The central midfielder was also too good in the FIFA World Cup 2022. His assist to Angel Di Maria sealed the game for Argentina in the World Cup Final. Alexis has a market value of 35 to 40 million pounds and had come to Brighton for 7 million pounds a year. It is a profitable deal for Brighton too but they are willing to hold the player for long. ?



<h2>4) Azzedine Ounahi:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/12/Azzedine-Ounahi-min-1024x683.jpg" alt="FIFA World Cup 2022" class="wp-image-99026" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Goal.com</figcaption></figure>



After Amrabat, the second most impressive player was Azzedine Ounahi. Ounahi is playing in the Ligue 1 for Angers. But the Angers manager has revealed that the club has started receiving offers for Azzedine. The 22-year-old has offers from Spain, England, and France too. He will have a contract renewal in January that will allow him to select whether he wants to continue with the Angers till summer or move to these top clubs in January itself. He is currently valued at 40 to 45 million pounds per year. ?

FIFA World Cup 2022: Best Players Who Will Get Big Contracts After Impressing at the FIFA World Cup 2022.&nbsp;

England Cricket Team has announced the playing XI for the first ODI against India. The three-match series between the teams is all set to be played from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The last two games will be played on 9th and 12th February, respectively, in Cuttack and Ahmedabad. 
England, who lost the T20I series by the margin of 4-1, have announced the strong XI for the first match of the IND vs ENG ODI series. Joe Root has made his return to the team for the first time after the ICC World Cup 2023. The premier didn't play a single ODI after the tournament and would want to make an impact. 
Ben Duckett will be opening the innings alongside Phil Salt in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The duo opened the innings in the T20I series as well but couldn't make the impact they wanted. It will be a great opportunity for them to get some runs under their belt and help the team stage a comeback. 
Joe Root will be batting at No.3 while Harry Brook has been slated to bat at No.3. The vice-captain of the England team struggled in the T20I series as he slammed just one half-century in the five games. He also was trolled a lot for his smog statement and would be keen to reply to all the critics in style. 
Captain Jos Buttler has been drafted at N0.5 in the series and it is expected that he will keep the wickets. He was the only settled batter for England in the T20I series and would want to carry on his form in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell are the two all-rounders picked by England in the middle order. Along with him, Byron Carse will be there as a fast-bowling all-rounder. Adil Rashid is the frontline spinner in the team. He will be holding a key for the team on ODIs as he did in T20Is. 
Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood are the two frontline pacers in the team. The duo were decent with the ball in the IND vs ENG T20I series.

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">A Glimpse into Mohammed Shami’s Career </h2>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679066d186630.jpg" alt="" width="799" height="497">
A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
 
Shami, who has appeared in 101 games and is only 5-wickets away from the remarkable 200 wicket mark, is like Australian modern-day legendary fast bowler <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc</a>, who also has 200+ wickets and reached the milestone in just 102 matches and the 101 bowling innings.
