No Rohit, Virat for Asian Games, Dhawan, Laxman to lead India in Asian Games 2023: Seasoned southpaw Shikhar Dhawan and National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman are likely to spearhead team India in the upcoming edition of the Asian Games 2023, which is scheduled to take place in Hangzhou province of China later this year.



Following a hiatus of long nine years, Team India is all set to make its comeback in the Asia Games 2023. The BCCI didn't send its side to participate in the Asian Games 2010 and 2014 despite cricket being part of it. However, the richest cricket board is learned to have agreed to send its both, Men's and Women's, teams for the multi-nation event.



The Asian Games 2023 is scheduled to take place between September 23 and October 8 in China. Clearly, there is a conflict in the dates as the ICC World Cup 2023 is scheduled to begin on October 5. So, the BCCI will have no option left but to send a second-string Indian side for the Asian Games 2023.



As per the reports, with Rahul Dravid busy with the national side in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 preparations, the BCCI is looking at NCA head VVS Laxman to accompany the Indian boys to China for the continental event. Notably, the NCA chiefs have coached India in the past as well when the regular head coaches were either in a break or down with some health issues.



A few reports also claimed that the Asian Games 2023 could also be a test for VVS Laxman to be India's next regular head coach as Rahul Dravid's contract is about the expire. Dravid has been handed over the responsibility to lead India until the World Cup 2023.



Meanwhile, with Shikhar Dhawan spearheading the second-string side, it can be said that he is not in contention for the World Cup place. Dhawan was looking to make a comeback to the ODI side, however, the selectors seem to be done with him. He last featured in an ODI game against Bangladesh on December 10, 2022. Since then he is out of the 50-over side.

Asian Games 2023: India squad for the Asian Games to be finalised by 15th July - Reports

asian-games-2023-india-squad-for-the-asian-games-to-be-finalised-by-15th-july-reports

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday confirmed team India's participation in the upcoming Asian Games 2023 following the conclusion of the 19th Apex Council Meeting. Team India is set to have its maiden stint at the event which is scheduled to be held in China, however, without the regular key players.



As things unfolded, it has been learnt that the BCCI is unwilling to send regular members of the Indian team to China for the Asian Games 2023. The decision has been taken in the wake of an overlap in the schedules of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 and the Asian Games 2023. 



While the Asian Games are set to be held in September-October in China's Hangzhou, the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is scheduled to be held in October-November in India.



The World Cup event, which is arguably the best international tournament that happens every four years, will be prioritised by the Indian cricket board. Therefore a second-string Indian squad will be announced to take part in the Asian Games 2023.



This effectively means that India's maiden stint in the Asian games will be without the services of captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Siraj and Shami among others. 



India's T20 Squad for Asian Games will be picked keeping aside the regular 18 players (15-men World Cup Squad plus three reserves) of the Indian team.



Notably, both men and women squads of Team India will take part in the Asian Games. While the men's squad will feature a string of fresh players, a full-strength woman's squad is expected to head to China. The women's team will be led by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and her deputy Smriti Mandhana.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Rohit, No Virat in India's T20 Squad for Asian Games 2023</h2>



"BCCI will send both men?s and women?s teams to the Asian Games scheduled to be held in September 2023 at Hangzhou, China. However, considering the overlap of schedule of the Asian Games with ICC Men?s Cricket World Cup 2023, BCCI will select from the players not participating in the World Cup to play in the Asian Games," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said after the?19th Apex Council meeting?that took place in Mumbai on Friday.



Seasoned batter Shikhar Dhawan is likely to spearhead the second-string Indian side for the China event, as he is no longer in contention for the World Cup place. Besides Dhawan, the likes of Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh and Mukesh Kumar will be in the fray to get named in the squad.



Moreover, the BCCI will have the choice between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal to pick for the Asian Games as there is no way both can feature in the World Cup 2023 squad at the same time.

Asian Games 2023: Team India Men's Updated Squad for Cricket Asian Games 2023 Hangzhou

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
