WPL 2023: The T20 format has always given a platform to superior all-rounders, with the added benefit of extra bowling options, which are effective in a T20 game. All-rounders are probably the most reliable set of players in the squad, especially in a T20 game.&nbsp;



Let's take a look at the top 5 players who can be relied on for their performance:



<h2>5. Ash Gardner</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Ash-Gardner_11zon-1024x664.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103677"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Cricket Australia</figcaption></figure>



Gardner is, in the present scenario, the most reliable all-rounder in world cricket and has shown consistent form across all formats of the game. Gardner mostly bats in the lower middle order as she plays the role of a big-hitting finisher, but she is often promoted up the order in the case of chasing big totals or scoring runs to increase the run rate. Gardner has an even greater hand in bowling, as she has been a stellar performer in this department too.&nbsp;



Gardner is not only ranked No. 1 in the all-rounders ranking but has also secured spots within the top 10 rankings in both the ICC batting and bowling rankings too. Gardner is picked up by the Gujarat Giants, and they will have high hopes for their expected success in the WPL in 2023.



<h2>4. Deepti Sharma</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Deepti-Sharma_11zon-1024x569.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103678"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Deepti is an experienced all-rounder who has been representing India in international formats for many years now. Deepti is a very reliable player in the shorter format, as she bats excellently down the order. She is too terrific to bat at No. 7 and specializes in bowling throughout all phases of the innings, especially in the powerplay as well as the end overs.&nbsp;



Though she bowls mostly during field restrictions or death overs, she is still considered by the Warriors to be one of the most economical bowlers in the shorter format. She is expected to be the best all-around performer playing for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UP_Warriorz">UP Warriors</a> in home conditions in WPL 2023.



<h2>3. Amelia Kerr</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Amelia-Kerr_11zon-1024x682.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103679"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: The Cricket Monthly</figcaption></figure>



The Kiwi all-rounder has been a rising star in women's cricket since his debut for the New Zealand national side. The young player has been a sensational cricketer in recent times, she bats mostly at No. 3 or No. 4, is known to regulate batting innings, and is comprehensive with her skills as a perfect orthodox batter. She is also a smart, tricky leggie with a wide degree of variation in her deliveries; she is a very economical bowler who is also a wicket-taker in match-saving situations. Kerr would be one of MI's must-picks in the WPL 2023.&nbsp;



<h2>2. Hayley Mathews</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Hayley-Mathews-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-103680"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Times of India</figcaption></figure>



The West Indies captain has been their only reliable player since the absence of their previous captain, Stefanie Taylor, due to injuries. Taylor is flexible enough to bat at all positions; she can play the role of an offensive opener, a standout middle-order batter, or sometimes a sizzling finisher. She is also an economical bowler and performs proficiently with the bowl in hand. Another smart pick by MI Women, Mathews is expected to evolve as one of the best players in the WPL.&nbsp;



<h2>1. Dane Van Niekerk</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Dane-Van-Niekerk_11zon-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-103681"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: Sky Sports</figcaption></figure>



The protea all-rounder has been a great performer since her initial days but has had to switch out of the game due to several injuries over the past few years. However, despite her absence from world cricket, she is still one of the most reliable players in the world and a strong middle-order batter and handy leg spinner who can be expected to be a good performer for the RCB in WPL 2023.&nbsp;

ICC Announces Player of the Month for December 2023

icc-announces-player-of-the-month-for-december-2023

India women are the defending champions of the Asia Cup as they secured the title in 2022, defeating Sri Lanka comfortably in Sylhet. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jemimah_Rodrigues">Jemimah Rodrigues</a> was India?s highest run-getter in the tournament. The defending champions Women in Blue have not surprised anyone with their squad selection, as out of the 17-member squad playing against South Africa in the current series, 15 members were included in the squad for the Asia Cup to be held in Dambulla. However, India has left out some vital names like Shikha Pandey, Rajeshwari Gaikwad, Yastika Bhatia, and Harleen Deol from the list of players who are a regular part of the side and have BCCI contracts as well. 



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#lets-take-a-good-look-at-the-full-squad-of-players-chosen-for-indias-asia-cup-campaign">Let?s take a good look at the full squad of players chosen for India?s Asia Cup campaign.</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#batters">Batters</a></li><li class=""><a href="#all-rounders">All-Rounders</a></li><li class=""><a href="#wicket-keepers">Wicket-keepers</a></li><li class=""><a href="#bowlers">Bowlers</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="lets-take-a-good-look-at-the-full-squad-of-players-chosen-for-indias-asia-cup-campaign">Let?s take a good look at the full squad of players chosen for India?s Asia Cup campaign. </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="batters">Batters </h3>



On the batting front, India possesses extreme class and talent, as they have the likes of world-class cricketers led by their skipper Harmanpreet Kaur. Jemimah Rodrigues was India?s highest run-getter in the competition in the previous edition of the game and is currently the best in the format as she has impressed owners of the franchise teams with her performance. She will be India's most trustworthy aid on the batting front. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



 Smriti Mandhana: The only adjective that suits her name is the ?best?. Mandhana has been India?s best batter in the shortest format of the game and also the second-highest run scorer for the Women in Blue. With 3000+ runs and her superior form, Mandhana remains to be India?s most reliable batter. Harmanpreet Kaur: The Indian skipper has been the highest run-getter in the format and has even more experience in the format than ex-captain Mithali Raj. Kaur, though not the most consistent yet, has rescued Indian women from several dire situations of trouble and has been a match-winner for them and will continue to be so. Shefali Verma: India?s young sensation, has been roaring in international cricket ever since her debut in the format. Known for her fearless stance and six-hitting prowess, Verma will be desired to fire in. 



Alongside these players, India will have the services of their all-rounders and Dayalan Hemalatha. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="all-rounders">All-Rounders</h3>



T20, the shortest format, is quite often known as the all-rounders game. The format demands players who can perform from both ends, and their fitness allows them great game time. Deepti Sharma India?s likely most experienced cricketer after skipper Kaur. She has been a part of the Indian set-up for years and will remain to be in years to come, as he seems irreplaceable from the Women in Blue. Sharma has 1000+ runs in the format despite batting down the order, and her wicket tally gets filled now and then. Pooja Vastrakar In recent times, Vastrakar has been India?s go-to all-rounder, much like Hardik Pandya from the Men?s team. Pooja is a clean hitter of the white ball and has been provided with different roles as a bowler. She has excelled for Women in Blue with the ball in the powerplay and death with both the new and the old ball. Her contribution will be inevitable if India looks to go on the quest for defending their title and be the champions of Asia for the 8th time in 9 competitions since 2004.

</figure>



 Sajeevan Sajana Sajana has been recently made a part of Team India?s squad, and the batter has had quite a season domestically. She is a right-handed batter and bowls right-arm off break, equally efficient to replace Sneh Rana, who has been dropped from the format.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="wicket-keepers">Wicket-keepers</h3>



Richa Ghosh: India?s main front-line batter and wicketkeeper, Richa has been a stunning addition since her initial days. Ghosh is a fearless striker of the cricket ball and brings immense power to the side. Uma Chetry: The Assam women?s cricketer has now been in the Indian side for quite some time, though he has not often been provided with much game time due to the batting prowess of Richa. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="bowlers">Bowlers</h3>



Shreyanka Patil: Since her excellent campaign in the WPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore that led them to a title clinch, the first ever for the franchise in the IPL. The spinner can be an asset for the team, especially when playing in the subcontinent. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



 Renuka Singh: She was India?s most stunning performer in the previous edition of the Asia Cup in 2022, with the ball. Singh is probably the only full-time pace bowler in the side, while others like Vastrakar and Reddy are more among the all-rounders.

India Women and Sri Lanka Women are in the finals of the ACC Women's T20 Asia Cup 2024 and here we are with the updated lists of Players with the Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in the Women's Asia Cup 2024.

Cricbuzz quoted "India is to Asia Cup what Australia is to World Cup," and this statement comes truly relevant in the present scenario. India Women are in their 9th final of the Asia Cup and this is a huge achievement in itself.



This season of Women's T20 Asia Cup 2024 have been a low scoring tournament. A couple of batters have flourished but bowler are in joy on the slow pitches of Dumbulla. Here we are with the updated lists of Players with the Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in the Women's Asia Cup 2024:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="most-runs-womens-asia-cup-2024-player-ranking-1-10">Most Runs: Women's Asia Cup 2024 ? Player Ranking 1-10</h2>



Sri Lankan skipper and star batter Chamari Athapaththu is leading the team from the front. She is the most run-scorer of the tournament before the finals and seeing her lead, it feels like she is going to end the tournament with most runs individually. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/chamari-Athapaththu-jpg.webp" alt="Women's Asia Cup 2024: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets (27 July) So Far in Asia Cup 2024 | Player Ranking 1 ? 10" class="wp-image-144851" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Most run-scorer Chamari Athapaththu</figcaption></figure>



Shafali Verma, the most criticized cricket of Indian Women Cricket team for her rash style of batting has just shut the mouth of her trolls. She is India's highest run-scorer and with 184 runs at an average of 61, she is ranked second on the list.



Smriti Mandhana is also there on the list at seventh spot and hopefully she is going to elevate her rankings in today's game against Sri Lanka.

3 Errors India Must Correct to Beat Pakistan in Crucial Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Encounter: The Indian Women?s National Cricket Team, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur suffered a humiliating defeat versus New Zealand in their opening Women's T20 World Cup encounter on Friday evening. The 2020 runners-up lost by a big margin of 58 runs, which has made their route of advancing to the knockout-stage difficult.



The fielding was not up to the mark, the bowling was mediocre, and the batters showed little enthusiasm to chase down the score of 161 runs. Nothing went in the favour of Team India and now they find themselves in a difficult situation in a challenging group.



However, the Women in Blue?s hopes of qualifying for the semis are not crushed yet and they have to treat all of their remaining group stage encounters as must-win ones. They will square off against fierce-rivals Pakistan in their next fixture and we will take a look at three errors the Indians must correct to defeat Pakistan.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3) Captaincy-related mistakes must be reduced</h2>



Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur didn?t have a good match as a captain and with the bat as well versus New Zealand. Her bowling-change decisions were dubious and the White Ferns took full advantage of the captaincy errors.



Right-arm seamer Pooja Vastrakar (0-9) just bowled a single over and she wasn?t allowed to complete her full quota of four overs despite bowling well. Furthermore, off-spinner Deepti Sharma, who had an abysmal outing with the ball, was allowed to complete her full quota of four overs and it turned out to be a gift in disguise for the Sophie Devine-led team.



In four overs, the 27-year-old gave away 45 runs without picking up a single wicket. Moreover, the fielding-placements were not up to the mark and Kaur played a conservative game as the skipper, which let New Zealand win the match handily. As the leader of the team, she must be alert against Pakistan otherwise India may get eliminated from the competition after just two matches.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2) Work on improvising the level of fielding</h2>



Team India?s fielding level versus New Zealand was abysmal which created a lot of disappointment among the supporters. A lot of easy-catching opportunities were dropped, and it cost the Women in Blue heavily against the Sophie Devine-led New Zealand.



Versus Pakistan, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team cannot afford to make the same mistakes. Their Asian counterparts played in a superb manner versus Sri Lanka, and are full of confidence, therefore, the Women in Blue need to be smart on the field to avoid giving away precious runs.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1) Senior batters should take responsibility in crucial matches.</h2>



Experienced senior batters Shafali Verma (12 runs in 13 balls), captain Harmanpreet Kaur (15 runs in 14 balls), and Shafali Verma (2 runs in 4 balls) failed to score big runs with the bat and this is where the Indian Cricket Team lost their way in the chase.



We've seen Indian players struggle in big games before, and here was a chance to prove everybody incorrect. A target of 161 runs was always going to be difficult to chase down against a strong opposition bowling attack, but the Indian batsmen surrendered during the power play, allowing New Zealand to humiliate them. The batting needs to be refreshed before facing Pakistan, and the senior batters must accept responsibility for delivering results.

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.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This comes after the Indian governing body refused to write 'Pakistan' on their kits for the tournament. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February. The preparations for the tournament are on, and the ICC and the PCB are taking every step possible to make sure that everything is right on track. 
However, a controversy recently erupted after BCCI refused to write Pakistan on their jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Notably, every participating nation, as per the ICC policy, has to write the name of the host nation below the logo of the tournament on their jersey. 
After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter. He, however, mentioned that they are hopeful that ICC will support them and India will be asked to write the name of the jersey on their kits for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys - ICC official </h2>
Following this, BCCI also reacted, and the insider from the governing body said that since they are playing in Dubai, it isn't mandatory for them to wear the 'Pakistan written jersey'. The BCCI also stressed that they didn't write Pakistan's name on the podium of the Trophy tours as well. 
Amid all this, ICC has come up with a strong response for the BCCI. An ICC official mentioned that it is the responsibility of the host nation to add the tournament logo to their jersey. He stated: 
"It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys. All teams are obligated to comply with this rule," an ICC official said as per A-Sports, as quoted by NDTV. 
Not only this, it is learned that the ICC also warned BCCI that they would be taking strict action if they didn't wear the Pakistan-written jersey during the tournament.

India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 
Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series. 
This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team. 
Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series. 
<h2>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</h2>
Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.
Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team. 
With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493">
Rohit Sharma - The Indian skipper at the top (Image Credit: X)
Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma will be a part of the India-Pakistan combine playing XI. The right-handed batter has exceptional records and stats in ICC tournaments for the Indian Cricket Team.
As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2: Babar Azam</h3>
Former Pakistan captain and top-order batter Babar Azam would also be a part of the combined ODI playing XI. Though he has been scorched off form recently and has faced sheer criticism, however, the players great antics cannot be overlooked owing to his sudden dip in form. 
As of now, Babar Azam has managed to score 5,957 runs with an average of 56,73, including 19 centuries and 34 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">3: Virat Kohli</h3>
One of the greatest players when it comes to limited overs cricket, Virat Kohli is considered the greatest in the format, while his fearless approach often frightens any bowling attack in the world.
