David Warner Retirement: Veteran Australian cricketer David Warner announced his plans to retire from Test cricket, claiming that he wants the match he plays in the longest format of the game?against Pakistan in Sydney in 2024?to be his last.



Warner has been thinking about retiring for a while, and he has stated that the 2024 T20 World Cup will mark his final outing for Australia at the international level. Warner was very clear when he declared he wouldn't be playing in the West Indies series following the Pakistan Tests.



"You've got to score runs. I've always said the (2024) World Cup would probably be my final game," Warner quoted.



"I probably owe it to myself and my family - if I can score runs here and continue to play back in Australia - I can definitely say I won't be playing that West Indies series,? he stated.



Warner is now in England getting ready for the ICC World Test Championship match against India next week. After that, he'll probably play in the five-match Ashes series against England.

Warner expressed his wish to be able to play his final Test match at the SCG against Pakistan in January while speaking to reporters in Beckenham before next week's WTC final against India.



"If I can get through this (WTC final and ensuing Ashes campaign) and make the Pakistan series I will definitely finish up then," he added.



The opener is going to start Australia's six-Test tour to the United Kingdom at the top of the order, but he recognized he has to perform better in the upcoming weeks than he did on his previous trip to England during the 2019 Ashes, when he averaged under 10.



He committed to play more aggressively this time after admitting that he became mired in a bad frame of mind during the 2-2 series stalemate. He is hoping that his recent performance in the Indian Premier League would carry over to his long-form batting.

David Warner Retirement: Warner to Retire After Test Against PAK at SCG, Said 2024 T20 World Cup Could Be His Last!

ICC Men's World Cup 2023 Points Table: Pat Cummins-led Australia registered back-to-back wins in the ongoing ICC Men's World Cup 2023 after going down in the first two matches. To bring up their second victory, Australia defeated Pakistan by 62 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 20. With the win, Australia stormed into the top four of the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 Points Table, while Pakistan has slipped down in the standings. This article will lead you through the World Cup 2023 Standing and ICC Men's World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated after the Australia vs Pakistan fixture.



Australia rode on the back of two centuries from openers David Warner and Mitchell Marsh to put up a demanding total of 367 runs. Warner and Marsh stitched a record-breaking opening partnership at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, punishing the Pakistani bowlers for everything loose they bowl. 



The two batters stitched a whopping 259-run opening partnership before the first breakthrough. Mitch Marsh was the first man to be dismissed at a score of 121 runs. Warner, who had also completed his century, was still in the middle and scored runs for fun. The southpaw scored 163 runs and put Australia on a path to a massive total.



However, Australia couldn't get any more fruitful partnerships barring David Warner and Mitchell Marsh. Marcus Stoinis was the only batter who crossed 20 runs, besides the two centuries, and the remaining players couldn't even go past the 15-run mark. In fact, most of the batters were removed cheaply in a single-digit score.



Despite such a rampaging start to the innings, Australia could only muster 367 runs total in 50 overs in the loss of nine wickets.



Just like Australia, Pakistan also received a strong platform to launch their innings. The openers added 134 runs for the opening partnership and the stage was all set for a big chase. But both the openers were soon dismissed by Marcus Stoinis in his two successive overs which derailed Pakistan's innings.



Skipper Babar Azam was expected to return to his form, but it was just not meant to be. The Pakistani skipper was dismissed cheaply at a score of 18 runs. 



Wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan tried to put up some show in Chinnaswamy, but he too perished after playing a knock of 46 runs in 40 balls. There were small contributions from other players in the chase as well, however, those were too few to threaten the Australian total of 367 runs.



Australian bowlers bowled out Pakistan at a score of 305 runs in 54.3 overs and won the contest by 62 runs. The win put Australia in a strong position to once again resurrect in the ICC Men's World Cup 2023.

ICC Men's World Cup 2023 Points Table, Pakistan fall out of TOP 4 | World Cup 2023 Standing after Australia vs Pakistan

Australia Cricket Team has announced the squad for the first Test against Pakistan. The Pat Cummins-led side will be hosting Pakistan for a three-match series. The series will be part of the ICC World Test Championship and both teams would be eager to make an impact.?



The first game of the AUS vs PAK series will be played on 14th December in Perth. Following that it?ll be time for the boxing Test which will be played at MCG on 26th December. The last game of the series will be played in Sydney from 3rd January.&nbsp;



Australia have added young pacer Lance Morris to the squad. It is likely that he will make his debut in the series. The pacer has a great track record as, in 22 Tests, the fast bowler speedster has picked up 74 scalps at 25.44.&nbsp;



Apart from this, Nathan Lyon is also back in the squad having missed a few Tests of Ashes 2023 due to an ankle injury. Scott Boland will also be in the team. What caught the attention of many Cricket Australia have named Alex Carey as the only keeper in the team.?

Alex Carey owing to his poor form has lost his place in the Team. However, it?ll be a if boost for him that he got the backing of selectors in the AUS vs PAK. The rest of the squad is filled up with pretty familiar names with Mitchell Marsh and Cameron Green being two all-rounders.&nbsp;



Usman Khawaja and David Warner will be the two openers. The focus will be on the latter as it potentially will be his last Test series. He recently said that the Sydney Test will be his last. He would be hoping to end his career on high.&nbsp;

Australian batter Steve Smith provided a huge update on his retirement plans ahead of the Test series against Pakistan. While speaking to Fox Cricket, he clearly mentioned that he has no plans to retire anytime soon and will continue playing.&nbsp;



Since the last few months, there have been a lot of speculations about Steve Smith's retirement. The batter too hinted about it a lot of times, which raised quite a few eyebrows. However, now all has been cleared as he himself has mentioned that he will continue playing.



The talks related to Steve Smith?s emerged when David Warner announced his Test retirement. The opener will be calling time on his career after the Test series against Pakistan. Many felt that with Warner announcing his retirement, Smith being in his late 30s would retire too.?

Steve Smith no doubt will go down as one of the best Test batters in the history of cricket. He has been the backbone of the <a href="https://www.cricket.com.au" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricket.com.au">Australia</a> Test team for the last one decade and is the best Test batter of our generation without a doubt.?

</div></figure>



Steve Smith has the most Test centuries for Australia and is also among the top five run-getters for his side in the longest format of the game. While his class in this format is unmatchable, he also has been an incredible servant in the white-ball.&nbsp;



Smith recently played a huge role in Australia clinching their 6th World Cup title. He has won the title two titles two times along with winning on T20 World Cup and World Test Championship as well. Him turning down his retirement plans will be a huge relief for cricket lovers.&nbsp;

Steve Smith will next be seen in action when Australia will take on Pakistan in the three-match Test series. This will be the beginning of the Australian summer and the batter will have to play a huge role if they wish to extend their dominance in the longest format of the game.?



Steve Smith is an absolute beast in home conditions. If Pakistan can keep him quiet in the series, it?s fair to say that they will have a good chance to win. But to keep him down, it won?t be easy as he?s one of the best in the world. The series between the teams kick starts from 14th December in Perth.&nbsp;

On the other hand, Pakistan will be opening with Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique. New skipper Shan Masood, who scored 200 runs in a practice game, has slotted himself at No.3. The top 3 will be crucial if Pakistan has to fancy their chances of winning.&nbsp;



Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel will be key for Pakistan in the middle order along with keeper Sarfaraz Khan. Agha Salman and Faheem Ashraf will be the two all-rounders in the Pakistan XI for the AUS vs PAK first game.&nbsp;

Special match for Nathon Lyon as he has achieved the amazing feat of taking 500 test wickets. First match for Mitch Marsh at the venue and his match-winning performance earned him the 'Player of the Match' award. Not only he was brutal with the bat, but also got rid of Babar Azam when asked to bowl. 



It has been a while since Australia played a test match at Perth but they were quicker to adjust and adapt. Winning the toss and opting to bat first, Australia kept on making runs with the least of the problems by Pakistani Bowlers. Runs were flying on day 1 and Australia posted a huge total of 487 in the first innings. Aamer Jamal went for 111 runs in his 20 overs but the debutant got a debut 6-wicket-haul.

Pakistan also managed to bat over 100 overs but were only able to score 271 runs in their first innings. Skipper Shan Masood was the only player in the Pakistan squad, who looked a bit positive and eager to score runs. 



Australia took a commanding lead of 216 runs, which was inevitable given the state of the wicket. Australia put up another impressive display at the batting, further undermining Pakistan. Marsh and Khawaja both scored fifty. Australia called for the declaration after the southpaw was dismissed on 90, giving Pakistan a daunting target of 450.

The Australian bowlers kept the momentum and put the square ablaze. Starc and Hazlewood were unplayable at the top with the new ball and they completely shook the Pakistani batting in and out!

ICC WTC Points Table Updated after AUS vs PAK 1st Test | India Back At The TOP | ICC World Test Championship 2023-25

AUS vs PAK 2nd Test: Cricket Australia provided an update this morning, announcing the squad for the AUS vs PAK 2nd Test. Lance Morris, a speedster, will rejoin the Perth Scorchers after being left out of the Australian squad for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan in Melbourne.



Australia are 1-0 up already in the series by comprehensively winning the first test at Perth. That was a near-perfect team game that earned Australia a massive 360-run victory. The front-line attack looked too overpowered against the visitors in the first Test which could make Australia assured of landing a similar lineup for the boxing day test at MCG.



Australian skipper Pat Cummins made a similar comment "I don't think injuries are going to be an issue, so I dare say it will be a pretty similar line-up at this stage."



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Australia Squad for AUS vs PAK 2nd Test</h2>

</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Australia Squad for AUS vs PAK 2nd Test</figcaption></figure>



Morris's omission is the only change with selectors trimming the 14-player squad they had in Perth to 13 for Melbourne. Cameron Green will have to wait for any callout unless there are any injury concerns.



The way Pakistan gave up on a brilliant deck at Perth Stadium may have left a lasting psychological impact on the visitors. Before the second Test in Australia, Pakistan has scheduled a two-day practice match against Victoria XI in an attempt to allay concerns over a lack of match practice.



This practice match was not initially scheduled to be a part of the tour, but it was added at Pakistan's request to Cricket Australia. The goal of the maneuver is to provide the visiting team valuable playing time so they can hone their tactics.

AUS vs PAK 2nd Test: Australia Squad for Boxing Day Test Match Out! Check Australia and Pakistan's Full Squads for Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test

AUS vs PAK: The Pakistan cricket team have suffered a major blow ahead of the second Test against Australia at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Star fast bowler Khurram Shahzad has been ruled out of the entire series due to a rib injury.&nbsp;



Khurram Shahzad complained of pain during his debut Test in Perth. He was then taken for scans and it was revealed that the pacer had fractures his left tenth rib. He was deemed unfit to play in the last two AUS vs PAK games at MCG and SCG.&nbsp;



This will come as a massive blow for <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-team/pakistan/3/schedule" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-team/pakistan/3/schedule">Pakistan</a> as Khurram Shahzad was quite effective in the first AUS vs PAK game.&nbsp;&nbsp;He removed Australia's prime batter Steve Smith in both innings and also sent David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne packing in the second innings.&nbsp;



PCB will now be consulting a specialist for him in Australia and then Khurram Shahzad will be returning to Pakistan to complete his rehab. PCB released an official statement related to his injury ahead of the second AUS vs PAK Test and stated:&nbsp;



"PCB will now consult a specialist in Australia after which a final management protocol will be established for the player. He will then return to the NCA in Lahore where he will continue his injury management and rehabilitation.?

Khurram Shahzad impressed many during his debut game as he bowled tough lines and length and troubled the batters. He becomes the second Australian player after Abrar Ahmed to be ruled out of this tour, making Pakistan a fractured team in the tour.&nbsp;



With Khurram Shahzad getting ruled out of the AUS vs PAK Test, it is likely that Pakistan will draft Hasan Ali into the team. Quite a few eyebrows were raised when he didn?t play in the first game. His experience could be handy for the team in the Boxing Day game at MCG.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AUS vs PAK: Pakistan Predicted XI for the MCG Test&nbsp;</h2>



Pakistan would be eager to make a comeback in the second Test. They are yet to win a game in Australia since long and therefore it would be a huge achievement if they win.



Here is Pakistan's Predicted XI for the MCG Test&nbsp;



Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood (c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Agha Salman, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Aamer Jamal, Hasan Ali&nbsp;

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.
