<p>The Australian Wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carrey recently opined his thoughts on the series. While the English are strategising over fast flat wickets, the Australian pace attack will be ready to counter their strategies under the leadership of Pat Cummins.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>We've heard some stuff in the media what the wickets might be like, the boundaries, etc, [and] the way [England] are playing at the moment, it is eye-catching.

The Ashes 2023: Alex Carrey Confirms Australia Not Interested to follow England?s Bazball Approach

<p>Harbhajan Singh in an exclusive interview with Star Sports revealed the process of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selectors ahead of the big ICC Tournaments. Reportedly, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohli </a>and Rohit Sharma are not a part of the upcoming T20 series and tournaments. They might also not be a permanent part of India?s future T20 Internationals.</p>



<p>Harbhajan Singh believes the BCCI selection committee would consider focussing on the team for youngsters to make the future of India?s T20 Internationals secure. Considering the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup will be held in 2024 and is one year away, Rohit and Virat might concentrate on ODIs for this year?s ICC Cricket World Cup to be held in India.</p>

<p>Harbhajan Singh believes BCCI doesn?t give explanations for their decisions and it has always been the case with them. ?Transparency isn't Indian cricket's strongest suit,? said Virender Sehwag. Harbhajan wants some clarity in Virat?s case and hopes he doesn?t get sidelined without proper respect considering his form and performances for the country.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>"See, I don't know what selectors have in their minds and what they want to do but if we don't win big tournaments like the World Cup, there always is pressure and the senior players bear the brunt of it.

But as far as Virat is concerned, I don't think he can be sidelined based on form,"Yes, you can of course speak to him and convey that look we are building a young team but whatever they choose to do, it should be conveyed to seniors.

<p>Shubman Gill has been the talk of the town since his debut in the Indian Cricket Team. Many cricket experts and former players believe Shubman Gill will be the new brand of the game after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in India. While the 23-year-old still has a long way to go in his cricket journey, he is already the next big player in India.</p>



<p>Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli have created unrealistic records in International Cricket. Now, a new coincidental statistics record beholds in the Indian Premier League 2023 for both the Batsmen. IPL 2023 has witnessed an incredible stats coincidence for Shubman and Virat.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>?It?s hard to win a match from a defensive position, we?ve seen this in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Premier_League">IPL</a>. The point about captaincy was very salient. The game started with fast bowlers bowling quite often with discipline due to the movement of the ball. Soon after, spinners were introduced at the right time. They made an error last game in judging the dew and brought Noor at the end and Hetmyer punished him. He learned from that and ensured Noor?s overs were done earlier. Rashid and Noor, two spinners with five wickets, and Hardik?s captaincy just seems to keep improving,?</p><cite>Aakash Chopra</cite></blockquote></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>?Mohit wasn?t playing well but he still sent him to bowl the final over and take crucial wickets even though he could?ve done that himself as a captain. He changed Mohit?s day from bad to good to maintain his confidence. I think Hardik Pandya as a captain is growing and maturing.?</p><cite>Aakash Chopra</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Hardik has consistently performed well since he came back from his major injury after the Asia Cup 2018. Hardik captained India against Ireland, where Team India sealed the series with an easy victory 2-0.</p>

<p>The Broadcast of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has just released its team squad ahead of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023. The final match will be played against Australia at The Oval, London, from 7th ? 11th June 2023.</p>



<p>Australia finished as the number 1 team on the Points table of the WTC. Australia played 19 Games, won 11, lost three and ended five matches in a draw. With 152 points on the table and a percentage of 66.67, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/wtc-final-australia-announced-strong-17-men-squad-for-wtc-final-australias-wtc-final-squad/" data-type="post" data-id="109527">Australia </a>made their way to the WTC Finals.</p>



<p>While India had its journey to make it to the WTC Final for the second time, qualifications for the finals had two possibilities of making it to the finals. The first was to defeat Australia 2-1 in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, and the second depended on the Former WTC Winners, New Zealand. Had Sri Lanka made a clean sweep of New Zealand in their home, India?s chances of qualification would have been caught in trouble.</p>

<p>India successfully defeated Australia 2-1 in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border%E2%80%93Gavaskar_Trophy">Border Gavaskar Trophy</a> and defended their title. The Indian Team made it to the second spot of the World Test Championship Points Table with 10 wins. They played 18 matches and finished with 127 Points and a percentage of 58.8. Indian Team has recently announced their 15-Man Squad for the World Test Championship Final 2023.</p>

<p>Ahead of his 50th Birthday on 24th April, Sachin Tendulkar got in an exclusive interview with News 18. He talked about the current scenario and flaws in the game that have occurred due to changes in the rules of the sport over the years. Sachin spoke about amended and new rules such as umpire?s call, shining the ball etc.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sachin-tendulkar-on-cricket-getting-complicated">Sachin Tendulkar on Cricket Getting Complicated</h2>



<p>The master blaster says that the game is unnecessarily getting more complicated with each passing day due to a change of rules. Sachin <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachin_Tendulkar">Tendulkar </a>also talks about the three formats of Cricket.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/image-98-1024x683.png" alt="Sachin Tendulkar" class="wp-image-109986" /></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>?It?s (cricket) only becoming complicated because we continue to change rules, if we have a set of rules and if we stick to those rules, if they?re working well, then it won?t be that complicated. To be fair, we also have three different formats, there are not many sports where you have different formats, I can?t think of anything else, very few if at all,?</p><cite>Sachin Tendulkar</cite></blockquote></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sachin-tendulkar-on-umpires-call-decision">Sachin Tendulkar on Umpire?s Call Decision</h2>



<p>Sachin claims that he fails to understand the necessity of the Umpire?s call decision in Cricket. When the on-field batsman or bowling team is dissatisfied with the on-field umpire?s decision, it becomes the basis of their appeal against his decision. If the third umpire?s decision calls for the on-field Umpire?s decision, then the procedure doesn?t make much sense.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>?I fail to understand honestly what they?re thinking. I feel if a ball is hitting any part of the stump, it?s out. That is for both teams, it?s not like for ?team A? you?re using technology and for ?team B?, you?re leaving it to the on-field umpire. Once we go to the third umpire, it?s a clear-cut indication to me that somebody on the field is unhappy with that decision and doesn?t agree with the decision. That?s why they want to go upstairs, so why come back to the person whom they don?t trust?"</p><cite>Sachin Tendulkar</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Sachin Tendulkar compares the decision with mixing tea and coffee in a cup which seems like a controversial decision of the umpire.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>"That?s why they?ve gone up, they?ve taken the risk of challenging his decision and if they don?t get it right they lose their review. So why do we come back again, we don?t need to come back. Right now what?s happening is in the same cup ?Thoda chai daal do and thoda coffee bhi daal do?. For me, it doesn?t work,?</p><cite>Sachin Tendulkar</cite></blockquote></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sachin-tendulkar-on-new-batsman-takes-strike-rule">Sachin Tendulkar on New batsman takes Strike Rule</h2>



<p>While giving the example of Kieron Pollard, Sachin elaborates on his approval for the no change of strikes rule during a catch.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>?Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that because if a number 10 is batting and I?ve got a big hitter at the non-striker?s end. I?m just naming Pollard. If Pollard is there at the non-striker?s end, why should Pollard go and face the next ball despite a bowler picking a wicket? So that is a good introduction,?</p><cite>Sachin Tendulkar</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>The former legendary Indian batsman hits a new half-century today by turning 50. We wish him luck in his future endeavours.</p>

<p>In an exclusive chat with The ICC Review, former Australian Captain Ricky Ponting goes down memory lane with the host Sanjana Ganesan and discusses some of the best innings of Sachin against Australia. He also makes reflective statements about the comparisons between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.</p>



<p>Ahead of the legendary batsman?s 50th Birthday, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Ponting">Ponting </a>states Sachin to be the best Batsman he has ever seen or played with and against. Both the cricketers have played together for the Indian Premier League team franchise, Mumbai Indians. Ricky claims Sachin had the answer for all the strategies that were made against him with his technical batting shots.</p>



<p>Ricky Ponting recalls Sachin?s remarkable innings of 241 against Australia in SGC, 2004. He believed his favourite shot was a straight drive and said, ?The trademark things you think about with Tendulkar was just seeing the full face of that bat coming straight back down the line of the ball and straight back past the bowler. So I think that'd be his trademark for sure."</p>

<p>Ricky Ponting was asked to make a choice and pick the better player between Sachin Tendulkar and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohli</a>. He replied that he believes it is difficult to draw a comparison between cricket players of different eras, considering the game has changed concerning its rules. He believes that the rules have changed in modern times and have given opportunities to the batsmen to score more freely.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>"When Sachin was playing ODIs, the ball at the end of a 50-over game was very hard to see. It was very soft. It was very hard to hit, it reverse swung. You don't see that at all in the modern 50-over game.?</p><cite>Ricky Ponting</cite></blockquote></figure>

<p>Ponting believes Sachin Tendulkar has maintained the status of excellence for 20 years in International cricket, which is quite difficult. Having played 200 Test Matches, he has created history and is unbelievable.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>?Virat's got all that ahead of him just yet. He's an unbelievably good player, there's no doubt about that. He's got over 70-odd international hundreds now. Sachin made a 100, didn't he?
