T20 World Cup 2021: All-rounder Hardik Pandya hopeful to bowl in the ICC World Cup 2021.



T20 World Cup 2021: Indian dashing all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has been in and out of the Indian side due to injuries and niggles, said he wants to bowl in the World Cup. The cricketer picked his back injury back in 2019 and since then he is not consistent when it comes to picking the ball for his team.



The ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is slated to be held in the window of October-November following the IPL 2021 second leg. 



?For me, I want to make sure, and I will be able to, that I bowl in all games of the T20 World Cup. I am just trying to be smart and make sure that I don?t miss that. My full focus is on the T20 World Cup,? said Hardik Pandya in Times of India?s podcast Sportscast.



The all-rounder began to bowl after getting full recovery however he timely picked up niggles which restricted him to consistently bowl long spells.

In the last India-England limited-overs series, Hardik Pandya became the talking point as he began to bowl with more accurate line and length. In absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Pandya filled the gaps and took India to comfortable wins.



The Baroda cricketer stated that he didn't drop his pace even after his injury. He kept hitting hard and is doing everything right to be completely fit to bowl the whole T20 World Cup and afterwards.



?Yes, on my bowling front, what matters is how fit I am. Even after the surgery, I didn't drop my pace. My bowling is related to my fitness. The fitter I get, the better it comes out. Whenever I play, I don't want to play 50 per cent. When I play, I will play with 100 per cent,? said Pandya.



Hardik is also picked in the 20-men strong squad for the Sri Lanka tour, next month. It will be an important assignment for him, going ahead.

Hardik Pandya clear rumours on his two watches worth 5 Crores seized by Airport Customs.



A fresh row of storms has started against team India?s colourful all-rounder Hardik Pandya after a few of his belongings were captured by the Customs department in Airport after the entire Indian contingent travelling for T20 World Cup 2021 returned back following a misfired campaign.



The reports from news agency ANI claimed that Customs Department on Sunday has seized two luxurious wrist-watches worth INR 5 Crores at the Mumbai Airport. It added, Pandya allegedly wasn?t able to show the bill papers for the watches as a reason for the seizure.



Denying all the rumours around social media, Hardik Pandya himself has clarified that he voluntarily went to the Customs to declare the items purchased by him from Dubai.



"I voluntarily went to Mumbai airport customs counter to declare the items brought by me and pay the requisite customs duty. Wrong perceptions have been floating around on social media regarding my declaration to customs at Mumbai airport, and I would like to clarify about what transpired,? said Hardik Pandya in a social media statement.



He further added, he is giving complete cooperation for the legal procedure and is ready with all the papers that are required for a thorough investigation.

"I had voluntarily declared all the items that I'd lawfully purchased from Dubai and was ready to pay whatever duties that needed to be paid. As a matter of fact, the customs department had asked for all purchase documents which were submitted; however customs is doing proper valuation for duty which I've already confirmed to pay," he said.



The all-rounder then went on to clarify that all the news doing rounds all across the media of two watches that are of INR 5 crores worth are false.&nbsp;



"The cost of the watch is approximately ? 1.5 crore and not ? 5 crore as per the rumours floating around on social media. I'm a law-abiding citizen of the country and I respect all government agencies. I've received all the cooperation from the Mumbai customs department and I've assured my full cooperation to them and will provide them with whatever legitimate documents they need to get this matter cleared. All allegations against me of crossing any legal boundaries are totally unfounded," he added.



Hardik Pandya was with the entire team India who were returning India after completing their campaign in the T20 World Cup 2021. India could not manage to go past the Super12 stage and were knocked out by New Zealand before its final match against Namibia.



The all-rounder had a forgettable time in the recent World Cup. He was centred by the fans anger after he showed his inability to bowl in the first match against Pakistan due to his injury concerns. The Indian selectors have overlooked Hardik Pandya for the upcoming New Zealand T20I series and has been given an axe from the squad.

Hardik Pandya will have to bowl consistently for him to be considered all-rounder: Kapil Dev.



The 1983 World Cup-winning captain of India, Kapil Dev has questioned Hardik Pandya?s place in any team as an all-rounder. He reckons Pandya will have to showcase his bowling skills on regular basis in order to be called an all-rounder.?



He said the colourful cricketer can?t be considered an all-rounder as he hasn?t bowled much in the last few years. Owing to his recurring injuries, Hardik expressed his inability to deliver his services with the ball during the entire IPL 2020, 2021 and even during the first match of the T20 World Cup 2021.



He sustained a serious back injury in 2019 and since then it has often troubled the cricketer. He sustained a shoulder injury recently to add more to his woes.



?He has to do both the jobs to be considered an all-rounder. He is not bowling so can we call him all-rounder? Let him bowl, he has come out from the injury,? said India?s cricket icon Kapil Dev while speaking at the Royal Calcutta Golf Course.



He further dwelled on the fact of how important Hardik is as far as India?s middle-order batting is concerned. Once upon a time, Hardik used to be a daunting cricketer who smacked bowlers for fun at death overs, however, the case isn?t the same of late.



He is an extremely important batter to the country, for bowling he has to play a lot more matches, perform and bowl and then we will say,? he added.

<h2>Rahul Dravid will do better as a coach: Kapil Dev</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/11/Rahul-Dravid-and-Rohit-Sharma-1.jpg" alt="Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma during India vs New Zealand T20I series 2021 (PTI)." class="wp-image-81146" /><figcaption>Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma during India vs New Zealand T20I series 2021 (PTI).</figcaption></figure>



Dev praised the new Indian head coach and former cricketer Rahul Dravid?s appointment as the coach of the formidable Indian team. He weights Dravid more as the coach than as a cricketer.



Rahul Dravid opened his account in international cricket as India?s coach with a whitewash against New Zealand in three matches T20I series. Rohit Sharma and co wiped out the kiwis to seal the series.



?He?s a good man, a good cricketer. He will do a better job as a coach than as a cricketer because in cricket nobody has done better than him. I?m just keeping my fingers crossed. You can?t just judge one after his debut, you don?t go by one performance. Over a period of time, what Rahul will do, we will come to know. You only think positive,? added Dev.



The former cricketer concluded but not before heaping praise over Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who are his current favourite all-rounders.



?I would say Ashwin, hats off to him. Jadeja? What a fabulous cricketer he is, but unfortunately, he improved as a batter and come down as a bowler to me,? concluded Kapil Dev.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya to undergo intense rehab, opts out of Vijay Hazare Trophy.



Indian colourful all-rounder Hardik Pandya has made himself unavailable for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy, starting December 8. Pandya wants to focus on regaining his prime fitness once again and is currently undergoing extensive rehabilitation in Mumbai.



Hardik Pandya sustained a shoulder injury back in 2019 and since then he has been constantly troubled by some niggles. He hasn?t gained a comprehensive fitness and owing to which his value in the market has taken a dip.



For the last two years, the all-rounder is competing in international cricket and in franchise cricket as a genuine batter. He was reported to return to his bowling roles following the surgery in 2019, however, that never happened until now.



In the recent ICC T20 World Cup 2021, he was unable to deliver his bowling spells for which he was centred by criticism all across social media. Several bashed the cricketer and the BCCI selectors for having a lack of communication on the fitness of the player.



"The Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) had sent an e-mail to Hardik enquiring about his availability for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He has rarely played for Baroda in the last three years. However, he gave a one-line reply that he is currently doing rehab in Mumbai," a senior official privy to developments in BCA told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

"Even the BCA doesn't know. It is understood that he is trying to do some strength and conditioning module for his back which is no longer in best of shape post-surgery in 2019,? said the official when enquired about the nature of the injury and the seriousness of it.



Hardik lost his place in the Indian test squad due to the injury and his inability to bowl. It seems like the all-rounder has also lost his place in the limited-overs squads as well post the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.



Adding to the woes, Hardik has also lost his place in his IPL Franchise Mumbai Indians. MI has retained four players for the coming season of the IPL and Hardik is not named in that list.



Experts believe that Hardik will have to play the domestic circuit after becoming fit in order to come to the Indian side.&nbsp;



Though it can be said that Hardik can fetch his place in the Indian team easily as India hasn?t found a suitable replacement for the all-rounder until now.?

All-rounder Hardik Pandya to undergo intense rehab, opts out of Vijay Hazare Trophy

all-rounder-hardik-pandya-to-undergo-intense-rehab-opts-out-of-vijay-hazare-trophy

Indian daunting all-rounder Hardik Pandya Plans to retire from the Test format of Cricket. The Indian cricketer is mulling over his longest format career. The reports suggest that Hardik might plan to bid adieu to Test cricket to focus solely on the white ball games.



Hardik Pandya?s entry to the Indian national team was a boon for the team and country. He showed promising signs with his sheer consistency and hard-hitting abilities at the death overs. Pandya became the most sought all-rounder in no time owing to his on-field brilliance with both ball and bat.



However, an unfortunate injury dragged him back to square one. Hardik sustained a serious back injury back in 2019 and since then he has not been able to prove himself fit completely.&nbsp;



Hardik was part of India?s T20I World Cup squad but only as a batsman. He expressed his incapability to bowl during the first match against Pakistan and invited the criticism. He did bowl a few overs in the next match but he could not do miracles for India. He was centred with the outrage from social media for not informing BCCI and the selectors about his fitness. 



?He has been struggling with injuries for a while and although he hasn?t informed us officially, he is considering Test retirement. It will help him keep his focus on white-ball cricket. He was anyway not in our plans for Tests. It will be a great loss for sure but we have to prepare backup,? a top BCCI official told InsideSport.

It is highly unlikely for Hardik to revert back to his prime fitness. If he can't bowl long spell in Test matches, he can't be as destructive as he was once upon a time. 



Due to his recurring back injury, Hardik has been dropped from the Indian squad. He has no longer a part of the Test squad while his position in the limited-overs squad doesn't look secure as well.?



Junior Pandya was immediately dropped from the white-ball squad following the completion of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.&nbsp;



Recently, his IPL franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) also released him to the IPL 2022 Mega Auction due to a dip in his form. He played as a batsman in entre IPL 2020 and IPL 2021.&nbsp;



Currently, Hardik is undergoing extensive rehabilitation in Mumbai. He wants to get back in shape as soon as possible. He has also made himself unavailable for the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy.

All-Rounder Hardik Pandya Plans to retire from Test Format of Cricket

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja thinking of test retirement to stretch his ODI career: The flamboyant Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has brought everyone on their toes as the cricketer is contemplating his test format retirement. The news rolled out after one of Jadeja?s teammates has indicated that the southpaw might bid adieu to the red-ball cricket to lengthen his ODI career.



Jadeja is team India?s one of the few players who are consistently playing all three formats.?



Arguably, Jadeja is one of the finest all-rounders in the present era. He has dethroned several big stars with his all-around skills. His numbers in the test format in recent times are staggering. He has been a vital cog for India in red-ball cricket.



The cricketer has often surpassed the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin in the overseas test matches as he is favoured ahead of the seasoned off-spinner Ashwin.?



Ravindra Jadeja?s batting records as an all-rounder are second to none. He has played a vital role in team India?s success in test cricket overseas. He has been brilliant with his bowling as well. He delivers crucial wickets with his canny abilities.

And, no one can ever forget what he can do with his rocket arm throw and intimidating fielding abilities. The all-rounder has been a treat for every captain he played for.



Jadeja averages 33.76 in 56 Test matches he has played as a batsman in which he has mustered 2195 runs. Moreover, the all-rounder has uprooted 232 wickets at an economy of 2.41 and an average of a little below 25.



However, his decision to take retirement from red-ball cricket may come as a shocker for the team and his fans.



It is important to note that, Jadeja has sustained a forearm injury recently owing to which he had to miss the second test match against New Zealand. He is also not named for the upcoming India?s tour to South Africa for the three matches test series.



Along with Jadeja, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Axar Patel will also miss the upcoming test series against South Africa due to injury issues.

South African all-rounder Chris Morris announce his all format retirement at 34.



South African pace all-rounder Chris Morris, on Tuesday (January 11th), announced his all format retirement from cricket. The 34-years old took to his social media handles to inform his decision.



Morris, a handy all-rounder, has further informed that he has accepted a coaching role in a domestic team Titans.



In his Instagram post, he thanked everyone who have played their part in his cricketing journey.&nbsp;



"Today I announce my retirement from all forms of cricket! Thanks to all who have played a part in my journey whether it be big or small it's been a fun ride! Delighted to be taking up a coaching role at @titanscricket #lifebeginsnow," Morris wrote on his Instagram page.



Chris Morris has played 69 matches across formats for South Africa in his 8 years short career. The all-rounder scalped 94 wickets in his career at an economy of 5.79. The gifted tail-end batsman has also amassed 2,912 runs throughout his international career.

Despite being a flamboyant, destructive batsman Chris Morris couldn?t translate his talent into hefty, impactful performances for South Africa in international matches. His inconsistency and unfortunate injuries have played a major spoilsport in his career.



Morris played his last international match back in the 2019 OD World Cup. He was roped in SA's national team after Anrish Nortje was ruled out of the tournament due to his share of injury. Since then the cricketer has been constantly overlooked by the Protea selectors.



The Protea all-rounder picked headlines when he became the costliest player in the history of the IPL auctions. Morris bagged a mammoth contract of INR 16.25 Crores from Rajasthan Royals during IPL 2021.



The 34-years old will now contribute as the support staff. He has signed a deal with domestic side Titans following his all format retirement.

With Ben Stokes pulling out of the lucrative IPL Mega Auction, one of the top all-rounders won?t be available. But the teams will certainly be looking to fill in the voids. All-Rounders play a vital role in the T20 game. The current scenario of world cricket has a few good all-rounders but the deterioration is evident. An all-rounder gives much-needed stability to the IPL teams. So, who are the top 10 all-rounders in IPL 2022 Mega Auction? Who are the ones who will bring the balance in the teams? Here?s a look:?



<h2>10) Dwayne Bravo is one of top 10 all-rounders:?</h2>



DJ Bravo the West Indian charmer is a good pick as an all-rounder. What Bravo brings to the table is experience. Bravo happens to be the third most capped player in the T20s after Pollard and Gayle. Although Bravo is aging he is aging like fine wine. His cutters and slower ones are very well disguised. Bravo has an economy of 8.5 in the death overs which makes him a perfect choice. Bravo?s batting is not in its prime but when required, the Trinidadian can come to the party.?



<h2>9) Jason Holder:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa3-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82887" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



Jason Holder, the former captain of the West Indies white-ball team, is highly rated by ICC. Jason doesn?t have the pinch-hitting game but he certainly has the game to move the ball around. He is a good pick to bat at number 6 or 7. If you pick Holder, who happens to be one of the top 10 all-rounders, he gives you a full quota of 4 overs. He has an economy of 8.2. &nbsp;



<h2>8) Shakib Al Hasan:&nbsp;</h2>



Shakib has been the top all-rounder in world cricket since the 2010s. It takes a lot of hard work and diligence to stay at the top for so long. Shakib brings with him a truckload of experience. He has been playing freelance cricket for quite some time now. Hasan bowls his overs quickly so he can be used to maintain the over rate as well. He has a lot to offer with the bat. If required, Shakib can bat number 3 as well because he has done the same for the Bangladesh National team. ?



<h2>7) Sam Curran:&nbsp;</h2>



Sam Curran and his innings against India in the last ODI at Ahmedabad can prove his batting skills. Curran is a left-hander and produces the feared angle to the right-handers. He consistently bowls at 135-140 kmph. Curran has his set of variations as well. He has a well-disguised slower ball. Chennai Super Kings made effective use of Sam. If required Sam can open the innings for pinch-hitting in the powerplay overs.?



<h2>6) Vijay Shankar is one of top 10 all-rounders :?</h2>



Vijay Shankar was expected to replace Hardik Pandya. But due to injuries, his career at the top level was cut short. But Vijay has made a comeback and has taken leadership duties for Tamil Nadu at the domestic level. Shankar is an Indian and an Indian pace-bowling all-rounder is an exclusive commodity. Shankar can effectively bat at number 4 or number 5 and hold the innings together. Vijay Shankar is certainly one of the top 10 all-rounders on the list.



<h2>5)?Shivam Dube is one of top 10 all-rounders :?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa6-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82888" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: CricketAddictor</figcaption></figure>



Similar to Vijay Shankar, Shivam Dube is a good choice. Dube looks to be a more talented and gifted batsman. Shivam is a left-hander and this gives him an added advantage. One can never forget his 5 sixes in one over in the final of the Mumbai T20 league. Dube bowls at a medium pace of 130-135 and has a set of variations. His knuckleball and off-cutter are most used. Dube is again, an Indian and hence the franchises will prefer him over any other overseas pick. ?



<h2>4)?Mohammad Nabi:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa5-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82889" /></figure>



Mohammad Nabi, the Afghani spin-wizard has been playing since the time of Aakash Chopra! This definitely gives a reference to the amount of experience that he brings with him. Nabi can bowl a few good overs in the powerplay. Nabi uses pace-variation as a spinner. He can be used as a pinch-hitter as he has a strike rate of over 170 in the last 5 overs. ?Nabi is one of the top 10 all-rounders in world cricket.



<h2>3) Krunal Pandya:&nbsp;</h2>



Krunal Pandya, the left-arm spinner from Baroda, is one of the top 10 all-rounders in the auction pool. Pandya has a lot of experience playing at the domestic level. The Pandya brothers were scouted by the Mumbai Indians management, John Wright to be precise. Pandya has been playing in the IPL for 5 years and has played at almost every ground. Pandya bowls several variations and his yorker is dreaded.?



<h2>2) Chris Woakes:&nbsp;</h2>



Chris Woakes and his stats are similar to Ben Stokes. It is just that Stokes has stepped up whenever the opportunity has come and Woakes? performances are unrecognized. Chris Woakes can swing the ball in the powerplay overs. A pitch like the Ahmedabad one or the Dharmshala one can favor him as a bowler. His batting abilities are good too. Gautam Gambhir rates Chris Woakes very highly.?



Honorable Mentions:



<ol><li>Wanindu Hasaranga</li><li>Harshal Patel</li><li>Rishi Dhawan</li></ol>



<h2>1) Mitchell Marsh:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa7-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82890" /></figure>



Mitchell Marsh, the Man of the Match of the Final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is a good choice as an all-rounder. Marsh hasn?t had long runs in the IPL due to injuries. He has previously represented the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Marsh has improved his game significantly in the past 2 years. Marsh plays for the Perth Scorchers in the BBL and has been consistent with the bat. His batting overshadows his bowling but he can give a few handy overs. He bowls well over 130 kmph and has good variations. ?

<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=ICC+WTC+2023-25" rel="nofollow">ICC WTC 2023-25</a>: Sri Lanka Star All-Rounder Wanindu Hasaranga Announces Retirement from Test Cricket:&nbsp;On Tuesday, August 15, 2023, Sri Lankan All-rounder <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Wanindu+Hasaranga" rel="nofollow">Wanindu Hasaranga</a> announced his retirement from Test cricket. He made the decision to focus on his limited-overs career, where he is one of the world's top bowlers in the T20 format.



Hasaranga made his Test debut for Sri Lanka in 2020 and played four matches in total. He took four wickets at an average of 100.75. However, he was much more successful in limited-overs cricket, taking 91 wickets in 58 T20Is and 67 wickets in 48 ODIs. He is currently ranked third in the ICC T20I bowling rankings.



Hasaranga's retirement is a big blow to Sri Lanka's Test team, who is already struggling in International Cricket. However, it is understandable, given his desire to prolong his career in the shorter formats. He is a valuable asset to any T20 and ODI team and will surely be in demand in the upcoming franchise tournaments.



"I have decided to retire from Test cricket in order to prolong my career as a limited-overs specialist. I have enjoyed my time playing Test cricket for Sri Lanka, but I feel that this is the best decision for me at this stage of my career. I would like to thank Sri Lanka Cricket for their support over the years, and I wish the team all the best in the future."

https://twitter.com/ESPNcricinfo/status/1691374976220434432
</div></figure>



Hasaranga's retirement is a reminder of the changing landscape of cricket. Test cricket is still considered the pinnacle of cricket, but it is no longer the only format that matters. The shorter formats, particularly T20 cricket, are becoming increasingly popular and lucrative, and this is attracting players around the world.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wanindu Hasaranga's Career Details:</h2>



<ul>
<li> He was born in Matale, Sri Lanka, in 1997.</li>



<li>&nbsp;He made his ODI debut for Sri Lanka in 2017.</li>



<li>&nbsp;He made his T20I debut for Sri Lanka in 2019.</li>



<li>&nbsp;He was named the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year in 2022.</li>



<li>&nbsp;He is a leg-spinner and a lower-order batsman.</li>



<li>&nbsp;He is known for his ability to take wickets in the middle overs.</li>
</ul>



Hasaranga is a talented cricketer who has achieved great things in his career, and he will be missed in Test cricket. However, he can still significantly contribute to his team in the shorter formats.
