<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/indian-premier-league/ipl-2024/" rel="nofollow">IPL 2024</a>:?After Hardik Pandya was announced as the new captain of Mumbai Indians (MI) for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, this didn't go well in the MI camp. The Key Players like Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav expressed their feelings through social media but it was an indirect message. Now, Mumbai Indians lost two consecutive games in the TATA IPL 2024 due to poor captaincy by Hardik Pandya.



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Rohit+Sharma" rel="nofollow">Rohit Sharma </a>is one of the most successful IPL captains as Mumbai Indians won five titles under his leadership and he is the main pillar of MI. Rohit was one of those players who built Mumbai Indians as a brand in the Indian Premier League (IPL), he led MI to the playoffs in the IPL 2023 with a young and inexperienced bowling unit.



In the IPL 2024, Rohit Sharma is playing under Hardik, whom MI's team management traded from<a href="https://www.gujarattitansipl.com/"> Gujarat Titans</a> during the IPL 2024 Trading Window. This decision raises many questions about the future of Rohit Sharma with MI and its potential impact on the Indian T20 team.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should Rohit Sharma Stay with MI?</h2>



Rohit Sharma almost played his entire IPL career for Mumbai Indians and under his leadership, MI won five IPL trophies, which makes them one of the most successful franchises in IPL history. A player who gives his all to the team or franchise shows his loyalty towards them.



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-Rohit-Sharma-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024: Should Rohit Sharma Continue Playing for MI in the IPL 2024 Under the Captaincy of Hardik Pandya? Will This also Impact the Indian T20 Team?" class="wp-image-128437" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2024 Rohit Sharma | Image Credit: X.com(@IPL)</figcaption></figure>



The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 is on the way just after the IPL 2024 so, players need to be fit and also they have a great chance to regain their form. Rohit Sharma is looking phenomenal in the first two matches of TATA IPL 2024 and he should continue the same momentum which will help him in the ICC mega event.



But, It's all up to Rohit Sharma, whether he is comfortable playing under Hardik or he will move to the IPL 2025 mega auction. If we look at the current situation in the Mumbai Indians dressing room things aren't well and there is a high possibility Rohit and some other key players will leave MI After the IPL 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact on the Indian T20 Team?</h2>



After stepping down as a captain of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma can focus solely on his batting as Virat Kohli did after leaving captaincy in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. This will benefit him and also the Indian Team as Rohit Sharma is known for his aggressive batting and if he can able to do the same in the T20 World Cup 2024, it might lead the Indian team to have their second trophy.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Uncertainties and Challenges in the MI Camp in the TATA IPL 2024:</h2>



There is a lot of pressure on Hardik after replacing the legendary player like Rohit Sharm as the captain of the team. Hardik Pandya needs to establish his own legacy while respecting Rohit's experience.



However, As per the recent developments, things are not good in the MI camp as groups are forming inside the team therefore this could affect the team morale and performance as well.

The 2024 edition of the Pakistan Super League came to an exciting end on March 18 as Shadab Khan?s Islamabad United defeated Mohammed Rizwan?s Multan Sultans by two wickets, and the game was a last-ball thriller. With PSL 2024 done and dusted, the focus now shifts to the preparations of Pakistan for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup in June.



Before the commencement of the 2024 T20 World Cup on June 2, the Pakistan national cricket team will play a total of 10 T20 international matches against England and New Zealand. The matches against these two world-class teams will prove to be really important in terms of finalizing the Pakistan 2024 T20 World Cup squad. The Shaheen have failed to lift the T20 World Cup trophy since their famous win in 2009, and they would be looking to go one step ahead this time around as they finished as the runners-up in 2022.



All the participating nations must submit their 15-member squad by the last week of April, as the tournament is scheduled to start in June. This article will provide you with information regarding Pakistan?s predicted 15-member squad for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.



Pakistan?s last T20 World Cup campaign was full of ups and downs, as they lost against Zimbabwe and India in the group stage games, before going on to win three games on the trot, which allowed them to qualify for the semi-finals. They defeated Kane Williamson-led New Zealand in the semis but fell short against Jos Buttler?s England by five wickets in the final.



Since their defeat against England in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, the Shaheens have gone on to play 16 T20 International games, but the upcoming 10 T20 International matches will decide the fate of some players. The likes of Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammed Rizwan, Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah are pretty much confirmed to board Pakistan?s flight to the West Indies and USA for this year's World Cup. Beyond these five names, not a lot of players are considered to have their spots fixed for the 2024 T20 World Cup but Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed are likely to be picked.



A lot of news has surrounded Pakistan Cricket these days as some players have decided to reverse their retirements. Spin bowling All - Rounder Imad Wasim, who had a pretty good PSL 2024 on March 23, announced his decision to come out of retirement and made himself available for Pakistan for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. He retired from International Cricket in November 2023 but Shaheen Shah Afridi convinced him to come out of retirement.&nbsp;

?He (Shaheen Shah Afridi) called me after I decided to retire but I told that we will talk about this after the end of PSL 2024?, Imad Wasim said.



?I am delighted to announce that, following my meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board officials, I have reconsidered my decision to retire and am happy to declare my availability for Pakistan for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.I would like to thank the Pakistan Cricket Board for reposing trust in me and I will give my best to bring success for my country. Pakistan comes first for me!? Imad Wasim wrote on his X handle.



Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi wanted seamer Mohammad Amir to reverse his retirement decision and play in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, and his wish has been granted as Mohammed Amir decided to come out of retirement on March 24 and made himself available for selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup.



?I still dream to play cricket for Pakistan. Some positive discussions took place between the Pakistan Cricket Board officials and myself, and they made me feel that Pakistan Cricket needs me and that I can still play cricket for Pakistan.? Amir wrote on his X handle.



Mohammed Amir was in fabulous form in the recently concluded PSL 2024. Given the form he is in and the experience he carries, it's almost certain that he will be picked in Pakistan?s 15-member squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. It will be a joy for the Pakistani fans to witness the trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammed Amir, and Naseem Shah handing the pace bowling unit of the Shaheens in the 2024 T20 World Cup.



The upcoming ten T20 international matches will be really important for the likes of Azam Khan, Saim Ayub, and Mohammed Haris as some good innings and a good wicket-taking spell can help these players secure their spots in the Pakistan World Cup squad.



Last month, the central contract of pacer Haris Rauf was terminated by the PCB due to his refusal to participate in Pakistan's test series against Australia since the test matches clashed with the matches of the Big Bash League. But on March 24th, the PCB reinstated the central contract of the 30-year-old, meaning that Rauf will be available for selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup.



Recently, a UAE cricketer of Pakistani origin, Usman Khan, was called up by the PCB for the training camp, which is currently ongoing and will end on April 8th.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Usman-Khan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-128943" /></figure>



For now, Usman Khan is registered as a United Arab Emirates cricketer, but it remains to be seen whether the PCB can make a deal with the UAE Cricket Board to allow Usman Khan to represent Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup.



Recently, Babar Azam was reappointed as the white ball captain of Pakistan, replacing Shaheen Shah Afridi in that position. There's a lot of controversy regarding this news, but Pakistani fans would be hoping that under the leadership of Babar Azam, the Men in Green would hopefully go on to lift their second T20 World Cup trophy.

<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Rohit+Sharma" rel="nofollow">Rohit Sharma</a> Retirement Plans, Drops Hints When he Will Retire from Cricket? Indian Skipper Rohit Sharma is playing exceptional cricket these days but after the loss of the ODI World Cup 2023, many questions arose on Rohit, primarily whether he will play another ODI World Cup for Team India or not. But, Now Rohit himself shed light on his retirement plans in the latest interview with??Breakfast with Champions '.



Currently, Rohit Sharma is playing for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 but he is not leading the team as Hardik Pandya replaces him as new captain. This helps Rohit a lot to focus on his game and if we look at all the matches so far, Rohit Sharma is playing fantastic cricket in TATA IPL 2024.



However, Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian Team in the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024, which is scheduled to start on June 02, 2024. Rohit Sharma with Indian Team management will be looking to have a strong squad in the tournament to replicate the same performance as they did in the ODI World Cup 2023.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">?I Really Want to Win ODI World Cup?, Rohit Sharma While Giving Interview:</h2>



In the latest interview with Breakfast with Champions, Rohit Sharma expressed a strong desire to win the ODI World Cup for the Indian Team. Rohit said, that, the<a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/cricketworldcup"> ODI World Cup </a>is everything, he really wants to win the trophy for the Indian Team. As of now, Rohit is playing good cricket and he thinks he can continue for a few years if his performance remains the same.?



?I am still playing well at this point in time, so I am thinking I am going to continue for a few more years. I really want to win the World Cup, there is a WTC Final in 2025, hopefully, India makes it,?&nbsp;said Rohit Sharma in an interview with Breakfast with Champions.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team India?s preparation for ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024:</h2>



As of now, Most of the players are playing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and it will end two weeks before the ICC Men?s T20 World Cup 2024. Therefore, Teams didn?t have enough time to prepare for the tournament which is why players will be looking to have a good performance in the TATA IPL 2024.



However, The Selection of the Indian Team will be primarily based on their past and recent performances but TATA IPL 2204 will play a crucial role. If we look at the performances of key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Rishabh Pant, they are playing exceptional cricket.



However, some of the youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jitesh Sharma aren?t playing good cricket but the players like Riyan Parag and Ishan Kisan are showing their class in the TATA IPL 2024 with the bat.?

The ICC has set a May 1 deadline for all teams competing in the ICC Men's T-20 World Cup 2024, which begins on June 2. All cricket boards must announce their squads before May 1. This year's World Cup will feature a total of 20 teams from the United States and the West Indies.



All the cricket boards are busy preparing for the T20 World Cup, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also decided on the squad. BCCI can announce the squad for World Cup 2024 any day.



After the ODI World Cup, a lot of questions were hovering over Indian team captain Rohit Sharma. According to some sources, there was talk of making Hardik Pandya the captain in his place in the T20 World Cup, but BCCI ignored all these speculations and made it clear that Rohit Sharma will remain the captain of the short format of the Indian team.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These players may get a chance in the Indian team</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Suryakumar-Yadav-and-Rinku-Singh.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-133065" /></figure>



According to PTI report, this time BCCI will not make any significant changes in its World Cup team. This means that there is little hope of seeing many new faces in the squad. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, apart from Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, 20 more players in the Indian team will get a chance in the World Cup squad.



However, previous reports have stated that six batsmen can be included in the 20-member Indian team. Apart from these, there will be room for four all-rounders, three specialist spinners, and three wicketkeepers. Aside from that, four fast bowlers can join the squad.



Batsmen (6): Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh



All-rounders (4): Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dubey and Axar Patel



Specialist Spinners (3): Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi



Wicketkeepers (3): Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Sanju Samson



Fast bowlers (4): Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan



The T20 World Cup will be conducted this time in three stages, including a knockout competition. Each of the 20 teams was split up into 4 groups of 5. Each group's top two teams advance to the Super-8. Following this, each of the eight teams will be split into two groups of four. The top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals of the Super-8 stage. Semi-final matches will determine which two teams advance to the finals.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">T20 World Cup 2024 Groups</h2>

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">A Glimpse into Mohammed Shami’s Career </h2>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679066d186630.jpg" alt="" width="799" height="497">
A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup. 
 
<h2 dir="ltr">List of Bowlers fastest to reach 200 ODI wickets</h2>
 
Shami, who has appeared in 101 games and is only 5-wickets away from the remarkable 200 wicket mark, is like Australian modern-day legendary fast bowler <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Starc">Mitchell Starc</a>, who also has 200+ wickets and reached the milestone in just 102 matches and the 101 bowling innings.

In what promises to be an exciting and thrilling contest, Steve Smith-led Australia and Dhananjaya de Silva's Sri Lanka are set to lock horns versus each other in the second and the last match of the two-match Test-Series at the Galle International Stadium of Galle from the 6th of February onwards (Wednesday). 
In the opening encounter of the series, the Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable victory by an inning and 242 runs and this win helped them to take an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the two-match series. In such a situation, the Dhananjaya de Silva-led Sri Lanka would be looking to make a strong comeback by rectifying their mistakes in the second match. 
Ahead of this exciting contest, some thrilling player battles will be seen taking place between the star players of both teams which can go on to affect the outcome of the match. We will be taking a look at those player battles in this article
While the Kangaroos have already taken the lead in the series, the home side will have the chance to make a strong comeback by taking advantage of the home conditions on offer. It will be interesting to see which team finishes out on top in these player battles and which team succumbs to the pressure. 
<h2>Dinesh Chandimal versus Matthew Kuhnemann</h2>
Australia's left-arm orthodox spinner Matthew Kuhnemann failed to create an impact with the ball in the first ball, ending the match with 0 scalps to his name but he can trouble Sri Lankan batters on the spinning track of Galle. 
This will be especially very challenging for experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal. He is a good player of spin, has a good record against them and also he knows the conditions of Galle quite well but the variations of Kuhnemann can trouble him in the second Test-Match.
<h2>Prabhat Jayasuriya versus Usman Khawaja</h2>
Australia's experienced opening batter Usman Khawaja is in great form with the bat and he also possesses' an excellent batting record on Subcontinental surfaces. While the Australian team management would be happy to see him performing, they might be a little worried in the 2nd match as experienced left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya can trouble him a lot. 
The 33-year-old has excellent variations up his sleeve and has knack of performing brilliantly in spin-friendly conditions and home conditions. He also got the better of the Southpaw in the opening encounter, dismissing him when he was batting on the score of 232 runs and Jayasuriya would be looking to get the better of Khawaja again in the final match of the series. 
<h2>Other notable player battles</h2>
Apart from the two above-mentioned player battles, the battle between elite Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon and promising Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis will also be worth watching out for. 
Angelo Mathews will have to rely on his batting technique to tackle the speed and swing of Mitchell Starc and at the same time, Asitha Fernando has the ability to trouble the Australian duo of Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne with his pace and bounce.
