India?s Playing11 for ODIs and T20Is against Sri Lanka named by Harsha Bhogle.



India?s renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle names his best possible picks in the playing11 against Sri Lanka in July. India will field two teams simultaneously where the senior players will be in England while the second string squad will tour Sri Lanka for the 3 ODIs and as many T20I games.



The second string Indian squad will miss the hefty names with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah and others.



Veteran commentator Harsha Bhogle said that despite playing without the big names, India can still field a formidable squad that can thrash Sri Lanka in their own soil.



In the video of Cricbuzz, Harsha Bhogle put up his two lineups for the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka.



Bhogle picked Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan as the opener of both sides. The duo of Delhi Capitals (DC) did wonders in the IPL 2021 and are in good form.



Talking about number three, four and five, Harsha picked Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson and Manish Pandey as his first choice picks.



Mumbai Indians (MI) batsman Suryakumar Yadav is certainly going to get his ticket for the Sri Lanka tour. His exploits in the IPL over the last couple of years has got him his maiden T20I call up and is going strong.



Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Sanju Samson also finds his place in Bhogle?s playing 11. Samson did play some of the impressive knocks in the Vivo IPL 2021 and took his team over the line. He will keep the wickets for the Indian team.?



Manish Pandey despite scoring good runs did not enjoy his outing in the now-suspended IPL season fourteen. Pandey was dropped from the side as his strike rate did not match the team?s requirement.



Bhogle named the all-rounder brother duo Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya next. Notably, Hardik did not pick the ball in the IPL 2021 however his elder brother Krunal was impressive with both willow and ball in hand.

Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have found their place together in Harsha?s playing11. Both the spinners had a sensational run together when they played for India. However, both of them didn't have a memorable IPL season.?



Picking the pacers for the team, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar are picked. Bhuvi had an impressive comeback series against England while Deepak Chahar picked up two four wickets in IPL 2021.



There is not much difference in the playing11 of ODI and T20Is. The commentator replaced Manish Pandey with Rahul Tewatia while Varun Chakravarthy and Rahul Chahar are introduced as the spinners.



<h2>Here is the complete Playing11 named by Harsha Bhogle for Sri Lanka tour:</h2>



ODI Playing11: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.



T20Is Playing11: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Tewatia, Deepak Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Varun Chakravarthy, Rahul Chahar/Yuzvendra Chahal

Indian cricket greats landed to rescue Mohammad Shami from online abuse.



T20 World Cup 2021: After a humiliating 10-wicket downfall against Pakistan on Sunday, team India has come under the scanner of fans as they began online troll. Minutes after Pakistan hit the winning runs to seal the match comprehensively, which apparently came in Mohammad Shami?s final over, the netizens linked his over with his religion in Dubai.



Shami became the scapegoat and the online hatred started to pour for the pacer. The fourth over of Mohammad Shami in which he gave away 17 runs from five deliveries turned the things against the speedster as several said the cricketer was sold out.



Although every Indian player was exposed to online abuse after the harsh loss against Pakistan, none of them was targetted on the basis of their religion, however, the situation was different against Mohammad Shami, who is a Muslim.



Even though the Indian skipper Virat Kohli, in the post-match press conference, said that Pakistan completely outplayed India, there was no full stop to the fan's anger. People started commenting why Shami donned the Indian jersey when he has to play for Pakistan. Some even asked him to leave the country and play for Pakistan from now on.



Amidst all these, team India?s greats have extended their support to the pacer Mohammad Shami and came to his rescue. Prominent personalities such as Sachin Tendulkar, Irfan Pathan, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Harbhajan Singh and Harsha Bhogle along with numerous others wrote to support the pacer.



?When we support #TeamIndia, we support every person who represents Team India.?

Two Indian Players to bag massive contract in IPL 2022 mega auction, according to Harsha Bhogle.



IPL 2022: Renowned Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle has expressed his thoughts on the two cricketers who will fetch big bucks in the upcoming Tata IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Bhogle picked two Indian names to go with and both have the abilities to transform the outcome of the match in a matter of a few overs.



The fifteenth edition of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) will begin from the last week of March, but ahead of that, IPL 2022 mega Auction will be held which is scheduled for the 12th and 13th of February in Bangalore.



As per Harsha Bhogle?s choice, young Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan along with middle-order batsman Shahrukh Khan are going to be the two players who will sign a lucrative deal with the IPL franchises in the IPL 2022 mega Auction.



Justifying his choices, Bhogle elaborated that Ishan is young and a wicketkeeper-batsman. Also being an Indian cricketer in the IPL adds upto your value which becomes crucial.



?Ishan Kishan, because he ticks off an Indian player, left-hander, wicketkeeper? left-hand top-order wicketkeeper, that?s three boxes you?re looking for,? said Bhogle while speaking on Cricbuzz.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/12/Ishan-Kishan-1.jpg" alt="Image Source: BCCI" class="wp-image-81805" /><figcaption>Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>

Jharkhand cricketer, Ishan Kishan was released by Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Even though the franchise would have wanted to retain him, but the rules set by BCCI didn?t permit it.



Interestingly Kishan also denied an IPL contract of INR 7 Crores from Ahmedabad and opted to go to the auction table. Several experts believe that MI is certainly going to bid heavily for the youngster in the IPL and the wicketkeeper-batsman might again end up with his original franchise.



The veteran commentator picked Tamil Nadu batsman Shahrukh Khan as his second choice to earn a hefty IPL contract. He even compared Shahrukh Khan with Yusuf Pathan, who at his prime used to whack the opposition for fun.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/Shahrukh-Khan-PBKS-1.jpg" alt="Two Indian Players to bag" class="wp-image-83168" /><figcaption>Image:IPL</figcaption></figure>



?I?m expecting him to do really well this year because there is a spark about him, and he?s got a huge presence at the crease. He?s big built, a bit like Yusuf Pathan. You know, Yusuf Pathan in his prime when he was batting, he had that presence about him at the crease, and I find a little bit of that in Shahrukh Khan,?&nbsp; he said.



Khan was associated with Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2021. The franchise got his rights by shelling out INR 5.25 Crores. Ahead of the mega auction, as expected, PBKS released Shahrukh Khan and the youngster will head to the auction table to find his new franchise.

Keep backing him, he is a great player, says Harsha Bhogle on Virat Kohli?s lean patch in IPL 2022: Commentator Harsha Bhogle is optimistic about Virat Kohli?s batting form in the ongoing edition of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Bhogle, who has watched Virat Kohli from close quarters, said Virat is a great player as he precisely understands the game, but his inability to score runs in powerplay is indeed a concern.



For Virat Kohli, the batter, nothing has gone his way in the IPL 2022. In RCB?s opening match against Punjab Kings, Kohli slammed 29-ball 41 and it seemed that the vintage Kohli is back without any captaincy burden, however, who knew it was just going to go down from there for the legendary batter.



In the Tata IPL 2022, Kohli has already registered two golden ducks and is barely managing to middle the ball. During his short stay at the crease in RCB?s last game against Rajasthan Royals, Virat Kohli got everything in his bat, including thin edges, but failed to middle the ball.



Bhogle went on to say that Virat?s inability to score runs in the powerplay is a sign of worry for the cricketer.



?Could this early moment of luck is what Kohli needed? But, in a short innings, Kohli got inner edges that missed the stumps, so, definitely it is a worry. He is just not able to get away in the Powerplay. I think Faf (du Plessis) was honest about it upfront when he said ?all players go through this but the greats find a way back? and we thought rather the best way Kohli just sitting there and waiting for his turn, we thought what was best for him was to come up and open the batting,? Bhogle told Cricbuzz.

?Virat Kohli became great because he understands the game and he is a certain kind of a&nbsp; player. I have absolutely no idea (referring to the bad phase in his career) other than just tell Virat Kohli to relax and remind him he is a great player and just keep backing him, make him feel good. Keep backing him and hope that at some point the fine tuning happens,? he added.



Virat has just managed to score 128 runs in nine outings for RCB in the IPL 2022 at a poor strike rate of 119.62. For RCB to succeed and win a trophy, Virat Kohli?s form is necessary. The support Virat provides during his purple patch is unmatchable. The legendary cricketer has the ability to win matches singlehandedly for his team and RCB desperately needs that.?



Kohli's poor batting form is a serious concern, not just for the RCB, but also for team India, which depends heavily on the services of the 33-year old batter. The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is lined ahead and India can't afford Virat Kohli to misfire consecutively. For India's aspiration to lift the T20 World Cup title for the second time, Virat Kohli's batting form is very crucial.

Parthiv Patel suggest the opening pair for India in Asia Cup 2022: While the India side is spoilt for choices in the opening combination, former Indian wicketkeeper batter, Parthiv Patel reckons Virat Kohli should open the Indian innings alongside skipper Rohit Sharma.?



?My openers are Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli,? said Parthiv Patel in a Cricbuzz YouTube channel show.



Explaining the rationale behind his suggestion, Parthiv felt that Kohli would feel more comfortable while the score is 0/0 and it would give him the freedom to play according to himself and not get pressurised.?



?I would want Virat Kohli to open and just go out and unleash yourself. You have taken a break and we know there is no shortage of ability in Kohli?s batting style. And as an opener, you start at 0/0. When you are batting at three, the game is not set up for you. You have to play according to the game situation. Here you start at 0/0 and create the game situation,? he added.



Kohli has all the weapons in his arsenal to score runs and play impactful knocks. The former Indian skipper is equally equipped to whack the opposition and score with a brisk pace, at the same time, rotate the strike and nudging singles and doubles.



?You have all the abilities. Kohli can play however he wants and still play at 170 strike rate. If two wickets have fallen early, he can still play at 130. The number of runs and hundreds he has scored is a testimony of the player himself,? the former India player added.



However, seeing the dynamics of the current Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2022, it would not be easy for Kohli to appear in the opening slot. KL Rahul is present in the squad and his place is already cemented to open with skipper Rohit Sharma.

<h2>Virat Kohli would rediscover himself in Australia: Harshal Bhogle</h2>



Renowned commentator, Harsha Bhogle was also present in the discussion and felt that Virat Kohli would love to be challenged in Australia during the T20 World Cup. He loves to play the pace with minute swing and good bounce, Australia will be the place where Virat would rediscover himself, said Bhogle.



?He likes that pace and bounce and the aggressive environment around. Balls not stopping and coming, doesn?t swing very much and comes beautifully (to the bat), lovely bouncy wickets. He doesn?t mind pace so if there?s one place you tilt, you would say Virat Kohli would rediscover himself, it?s probably Australia,? Bhogle said.



The BCCI has announced India?s squad for the Asia Cup 2022. India will play its opening game against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 on 28th August.



Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul (vc), Virat Kohli, Deepak Hooda, R Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Y Chahal, R Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.

In India, both talent and competitiveness are in abundance. Once former Australia head coach Justin Langer said that " Out of 140 crore people in India if you are playing in the Indian cricket team's starting 11, you are unquestionably a highly capable player". There has been constant competition for slots in the Indian playing XI, especially in limited overs where there are at least two or three players vying for every spot.



In recent times, the spot of wicketkeeper-batsman in the Indian team for shorter formats has been in discussion. There are at least four options Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and add KL Rahul to it. While Ishan and Samson have got rare opportunities, Pant is the first choice across formats. His Test numbers may be impressive but he has struggled in the white ball of late. Pant averages 35 in ODIs and 22 in T20Is (strike rate of 126), while he averages 43 in Tests, which has been his best format.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Rishabh-Pant-min-1.jpg" alt="Rishabh Pant" class="wp-image-91372" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rishabh Pant (Image Source - Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Pant's place in the white-ball team has come under the radar recently, especially with Samson knocking at the door, averaging 44 in 6 T20Is and 71 in 10 ODIs. However, the youngster is not fazed but has confidently claimed that his white-ball record is not that bad as well and mentioned that it is not his age to compare between formats.

<h2>Rishabh: "Compare my stats once I'm 30-32"</h2>



Rishabh Pant has said that he would prefer to open in T20Is while continuing to bat in the middle order in ODIs and Tests. Speaking before the start of the third ODI against New Zealand in Christchurch, Pant said that he is only 25 years old and the white-ball and red-ball figures should be pitted against each other when he is 30-32. Stick around because right now there was "no logic" in such comparisons.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screenshot-99.png" alt="RISHABH PANT STATS" class="wp-image-98288" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rishabh Pant's stats over all formats (cricbuzz)</figcaption></figure>



Harsha Bhogle spoke to Rishabh Pant ahead of the third ODI against New Zealand and asked a few questions.



Harsha Bhogle:?In the recent past, you have batted in almost every position. Now, What is the position you would love to play at?



Rishabh: "I'd want to open in T20s, No. 4-5 in ODIs and Tests I'm already batting at No. 5."



Harsha Bhogle: How much premeditated is your strategy in white ball cricket?



Rishabh: It's mostly in T20s, not in white-ball cricket There's no real need to premeditate in one-day cricket but you have to in T20s.



Harsha Bhogle: I asked the same question to Sehwag, a few years ago. Looking at you, we get the feeling that white-ball cricket is your USP but it's your Test record that is better.



Rishabh: Sir, records are just numbers. My white-ball record is not bad either.



Harsha Bhogle: I'm not saying it's bad, I'm comparing it with the Test numbers.



Rishabh: Comparisons are something I don't look into. I'm 24-25, if you want to compare, you can do that when I am 30-32, no logic behind doing it before that.

In 31 Tests, Pant has scored over 2000 runs at an average of 43.33 and a strike rate of 72.66, including 5 centuries and 10 half-centuries. He has played 66 T20Is and scored 987 runs at a strike rate of 126.54 and an average of 22.43.

Ravi Shastri's valuable advice for Virat Kohli ahead of India-Australia Test series, Rohit-Virat to play Ranji Trophy?: Former team India head coach Ravi Shastri reckons Virat Kohli must pull out of the final ODI against New Zealand, which will be held in Indore on Jan 24, and take part in the Ranji Trophy games to be in the best possible form for the upcoming test series against Australia, which starts on February 9 in Nagpur.



Notably, team India will take guard against New Zealand in the remaining two ODI games on January 21st and 24th respectively and the next set of matches in the Ranji Trophy will also begin on the 24th of January, which makes it a perfect setting for the Indian batter to hone his skills before the ultimate test against Australia.



It is important to note that, Virat has already regained his form in white ball format and is enjoying a wonderful time in the middle, however, his bat hasn't talked a lot in the tests yet since his pale patch. Despite scoring brilliantly in the ODIs, Virat Kohli couldn't do any good in the test series against Bangladesh.



?I've always believed you play more first-class cricket, especially when you are going to play a lot in India. Just feel top players don't play enough first-class cricket," said Ravi Shastri while being on-air for Star Sports during the first ODI between India and New Zealand.



Shastri, who coached an injury-plagued Indian side during India's famous Border Gavaskar Trophy win in 2021, added right now the bigger picture is Australia as the four-match test series against Australia will decide India's fate in the ICC World Test Championship final.



He added, ?There's a lot of cricket around, you might not want to take the risk. But at times you've got to be smart and sacrifice certain games looking at the bigger picture. And the big picture is Australia.?



The cricketer turned commentator cited Sachin Tendulkar as an example, who followed a similar path during his time. He said: ?25 years ago, Sachin Tendulkar went to play in CCI against the Australian team and got a double hundred. Two months later in 1998, he had above 1000 runs against Australia in all formats.?



He got a terrific double hundred and Australia knew that they didn't get that man early the writing was on the wall.?



<h2>Rohit &amp; Virat should play Ranji: Harsha Bhogle</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/bhogleharsha/status/1615657658954186757
</div></figure>



Renowned broadcaster Harsha Bhogle was on the same line with Ravi Shastri as he advised both the Indian stalwarts to feature in the Ranji Trophy. Keeping in mind how important the test series against Australia is, Bhogle suggested Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli move out of the ODI setup for the final game on the 24th and join the Ranji Trophy squad before playing against Australia.



"I really think it will be a good idea for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to play the Ranji Trophy starting on the 24th instead of the last ODI. At the moment, the multi-format players tend to go straight from white ball cricket into test cricket," wrote Harsha Bhogle in his tweet.



In <a href="https://www.bcci.tv/domestic/fixtures">Ranji Trophy </a>games Virat's home side Delhi will play against Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad while Rohit Sharma's home side Mumbai will take guard against Maharashtra at the Brabourne Stadium on 24th January 2023.

IND vs WI: Renowned English cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has commented on the controversy between Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma in the third match played between India vs West Indies. The third match of the five-match series was played on August 8 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, in which the Indian team defeated the West Indies by seven wickets.



India needed only 2 runs in 14 balls to win, then on the fourth ball of the 18th over, Hardik Pandya gave India the first win in the series by hitting the wheel in his own style. However, the victory was interrupted when Pandya, who was batting at the non-striker's end on 49 at the non-striker's end, asked Tilak to stay put in the stump mic recording.



Due to this behavior of Captain Hardik Pandya, the fans and experts of the cricket world got divided into two different groups. The first group was in favor of Hardik Pandya while the fans of the second group were opposing this behavior of Pandya. Bhogle backed Pandya saying that "50 is not a benchmark in the shortest format of the game". He further added that "If a player is quick to score maximum runs, then average and strike rate are Important".



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
"I am puzzled by the discussion around Tilak Varma missing out on a 50. It isn't a landmark, in fact other than a century (which is rare), there are no landmarks in T20 cricket. We are far too obsessed with individual achievement within a team sport. I don't believe 50s should be recorded in individual stats in T20 cricket. If you have made enough runs quickly enough (avg and SR), that is all that matters."

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that India fast bowler Mohammed Shami will be missing part of the ongoing T20I series against England. The reports claimed that the pacer will be missing at least two more games in the series. 
India Cricket Team has been mulling over the fitness of Mohammed Shami. The fast bowler was included in the team as he was all set to make his comeback after the long injury. However, when he wasn't named in the XI for the first T20I, which raised speculations about his injury. 
Mohammed Shami reportedly faced some discomfort while climbing the steps. Rest, everything looked fine, and hence, BCCI won't want to rush him as they want him to be fit for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The pacer has been training hard with the team for the last few days. 
<h2>Mohammed Shami has been bowling in full throttle for the team in the nets </h2>
Mohammed Shami has been bowling in full throttle for the team in the nets. The fast bowler has his knee strapped but that isn't bothering him much. But with the main target being the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, BCCI is likely to be cautious with the way they make him play. 
The reports in RevSportz claimed that Mohammed Shami will be missing the next two games of the series as well. There are chances that he might be back in the team for the fourth T20I. After that, he will be playing in the ODI series as well for the team.
Mohammed Shami's last appearance for India came during the ICC World Cup 2023. After that, the fast bowler has been out of action. He was expected to make the comeback during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 but then was sidelined due to the knee injury that he faced while playing domestic cricket. 
The wait to see Mohammed Shami in action continues. With Jasprit Bumrah having a niggle, he will be extremely important for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament will be played in Pakistan and UAE from 19th February to 9th March.

Mohammed Shami RULED OUT of England T20Is...

mohammed-shami-ruled-out-of-england-t20is-

India is currently locking horns with each other in the ongoing T20I series against England. Both the teams are scheduled to play a five-match series, out of which the opening game has been played. The match took place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Wednesday (22nd January). 
India were off to a flying start with bat in the series as they won the game by the massive margin of 7 wickets. It was a magnificent outing with the bat and ball as they bundled out England for 132 runs and then chased the target inside 13 overs to take the lead. 
India ticked almost every box right, and it's fair to say that they wouldn't want to change the winning combination. But considering how Gautam Gambhir has been dealing as a head coach, it's fair to say that the team might make a few changes going into the second match of the series, which will be played on 25th January. 
<h2>Let's take a look at 2 changes India can make for second IND vs ENG T20I</h2>
Mohammed Shami in for Ravi Bishnoi 
India played with just one seamer in the XI for the first T20I. It was reported that Mohammed Shami wasn't fit, and hence, India had to go with three spinners. However, if the fast bowler will be fit for the second game, it's a no-brainer that he will be back in the XI straightaway for the second game of the series. 
If he is deemed fit then it is likely that he will be replacing Ravi Bishnoi in the team. The leg-spinner didn't pick a wicket in the first T20I, and with the kind of performances that Varun Chakravarthy has been putting, it is likely that he will be preferred ahead of him. Hence Shami will be there if he is fit. 
Washington Sundar in place of Nitish Kumar Reddy 
Another change that India might be tempted to make is bringing Washington Sundar in the XI. Since the match is set to be played in Chennai, it is likely that India would want to add a spinner to the team. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who didn't get to bat and ball in the match, is likely to make way for Sundar if the team wants to add another spinner in the team. 
Washington Sundar has been a regular member of the team in all three formats of the game. The all-rounder has been making vital contributions for the team with bat and bat and it remains to be seen if he makes it into the XI of the next game or not.

The 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy is set to commence from the 19th of February, with hosts Pakistan taking on New Zealand in the first match of the tournament. But everyone will be eagerly waiting for the high-voltage contest between Fierce-Rivals Pakistan &amp; India on the 23rd of February. The two Fierce-Rivals will be locking horns versus each other in the Group-A clash and this encounter will be played in the city of Dubai. 
The India-Pakistan games always bring entertainment and have been full of excitement and something similar is expected to happen this time around too. The ticket prices for the high-voltage clash have not been revealed yet but according to some news reports, despite the game being played in the city of Dubai, the Pakistan-India contest is going to provide massive benefits to the PCB. 
<h2>How will the PCB benefit from Team India's Champions Trophy matches in Dubai? </h2>
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had refused to send the Indian team to Pakistan due to security reasons and that's the reason why the Men in Blue will be playing all of their matches in Dubai as the ICC decided to implement the Hybrid-Model policy specially for the 2013 winners. 
Since Pakistan are the hosts of this year's marquee event, the question that arises is, who will benefit from the matches of the Indian Team in Dubai? According to some news reports, discussions in the PCB are going on that all the ticket money from the matches to be held in Dubai and the earnings from the Food &amp; Beverage facilities should go to them. The reports are also claiming that the PCB might also go on to stake it's claim over the earnings of the India versus Pakistan encounter.
Quoting a renowned media organization operating from Dubai, a source said, "The Emirates Cricket Board will obviously talk to ICC and PCB officials regarding the matches to be held in Dubai. In this, decisions can be taken regarding ticket prices and other arrangements."
Let us tell you that recently, the ticket prices of the Champions Trophy matches to be played in Pakistan were revealed and the rates were dead cheap. The minimum price of the tickets start from 1000 Pakistani Rupees (310 Indian Rupees) and the most expensive one was priced at 25,000 Pakistani Rupees (7,756 Indian Rupees).

It could intersting to see that who could the next captain for Delhi Capitals what does the experts says let check it out.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has shared his views on the ongoing debate regarding the captaincy of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Capitals (DC). With Rishabh Pant's departure to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the choice of leadership has reportedly narrowed down to two contendersâ€”India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul and all-rounder Axar Patel.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra delved into the merits of both candidates. Chopra highlighted that KL Rahul’s appointment as captain could significantly enhance the brand value of DC. As a seasoned leader with captaincy experience for LSG and Punjab Kings, Rahul brings a wealth of strategic insights and a proven track record of managing high-pressure IPL matches.

You might be thinking who will be Delhi's captain. Since we get all sources-led news these days, a lot of reports say that Axar Patel, who has become the Indian team's vice-captain recently, could be the captain there," Aakash Chopra said.
However, Chopra also acknowledged Axar Patel as a strong contender. Axar, retained by DC for Rs 16.50 crore before the auction, has been an integral part of the franchise. He remains the sole player from the core squad that reached the IPL 2020 final. Known for his consistency and calm demeanour, Axar has been a pillar for DC in recent years

The decision between the experienced KL Rahul and the loyal Axar Patel represents a defining moment for DC as they aim to build a competitive squad for IPL 2025. Both players bring distinct strengths, and the final choice could shape the team’s future trajectory in the league. Fans now eagerly await the franchise’s official announcement.

former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik - mentor for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) - may have revealed that Rahul will not be entrusted the captaincy in IPL 2025.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik let in a hint that it will be all-rounder Axar Patel, and not KL Rahul, who will lead Delhi Capitals.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_67924fe6758da.jpg" alt="">
"For Axar Patel, all the very best. A good opportunity for him. Heard he's going to be the Delhi Capitals captain as well. Here is a good opportunity for him to lead and show the way, he's been doing that for Gujarat as well. Wish him all the luck," Karthik said
