Sanju Samson: Indian cricket team is currently having the time off. They suffered a loss to <a href="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au">Australia</a> in the final of the ICC World Test Championship and now will be seen in action when they will travel to West Indies, where they will play 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is. The two teams will be seen in action in Tests first, which will be played from 12th July to 24th July followed by ODIs that are slated to be played from 27th July to August 1st.

With all the talks about selection for the West Indies tour, it is learned as per the reports in Cricbuzz that wicket-keeper Sanju Samson is all set to make a comeback into the team in both ODI as well as the T20I squad.?



Sanju Samson has been in and out of the team for a while and hasn?t been a regular in the Indian squad. But with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant being injured, it?ll be a great opportunity for him to lock his spot in the team and make his case strong for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.&nbsp;



Sanju Samson has been a consistent performer in the domestic circuit and the IPL. But despite performing well, he hasn?t got the desired opportunities. But in whatever games he has played for India, he has been exceptional and it is expected that something special will be on the offer when he returns to the team.?

Since 2022, Sanju Samson averages 36.8 along with a 154.62 strike rate in the T20Is whereas, in ODIs, the keeper batter averages 71 to go with a 105.58 strike rate. He was decent in the IPL 2023 as well. The squad for the West Indies tour is likely to be announced soon and it remains to be seen if Sanju Samson makes the cut into the team or not.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: Cheteshwar Pujara?s place under scanner in Tests; Yashasvi Jaiswal prime candidate to replace him&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Cheteshwar-Pujara.jpg" alt="IND vs BAN: The surface will get worse, happy with my 90, says Cheteshwar Pujara" class="wp-image-98754" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">AP photo</figcaption></figure>



The reports also suggested that Cheteshwar Pujara?s place on the Test side is under doubt as his form has been quite concerning. He has been a great contributor to Indian cricket in Tests but his performances in the recent past aren?t good. He failed miserably in the WTC Final, which was one of the main reasons behind India?s loss.?



It is learned that Yashasvi Jaiswal is likely to be selected in his place. The southpaw has performed exceptionally well in the domestic circuit and if he get in the team in place of Pujara, it can be handy for them as they can have a left-hander in the top 3 to negate swing.&nbsp;

IND vs WI: In what has been the latest development as per the reports in Cricbuzz, it is learned that the<a href="https://www.bcci.tv" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bcci.tv"> Board of Control For Cricket In India</a> (BCCI) is keen to rest Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Siraj for the West Indies tour. The governing body is making sure that the ace fast bowling dup gets proper rest ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup and Cricket World Cup 2023.&nbsp;



In their place, BCCI is likely to send Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik on a full tour. It can be assumed that they can even make their debut in the Tests. The duo has been travelling with the Indian team for a while now and has been getting opportunities as well.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

Both Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik have performed decently well in ODIs and T20Is. It?ll be a chance for them to make their case strong and also BCCI will be having a keen eye on them with World Cup in place. The Punjab pacer is currently playing county cricket and it is expected that he can get a chance in Tests.&nbsp;

Whereas on the other Umran Malik is having time off. He was last seen in action during the IPL 2023. He didn?t have a great outing there as he went for plenty of runs and was even dropped from the team. But it?s fair to say that time off would?ve given him a breather and he would be raring to go.&nbsp;

IND vs WI 2023: It?s a much deserving off time for the<a href="https://www.bcci.tv" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bcci.tv"> Indian cricket team</a> from the game of cricket.

The Rohit Sharma-led side will now be seen in action when they will tour West Indies.?



India is slated to tour West Indies in July and August and they will play series in all three formats. The tour will kick start with a two-match Test series followed by the three-match ODI series. On the last, the five-match T20I series will be on the frey, which will be the preparation for the next T20 World Cup.&nbsp;

It is learned that IPL performers in Rinku Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Jitesh Sharma are likely to get rewarded with T20I selection. Hardik Pandya will continue leading the team whereas seniors would be rested.

IND vs WI 2023: India to select their squad for West Indies tour on 27th June

In what will be a massive boost for the Indian cricket team, ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is likely to make a comeback into the team through the Ireland series. The <a href="https://www.bcci.tv/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.bcci.tv/">BCCI</a> official confirmed the development to News 18 and said that the pacer is in good shape and is all set for his return.?



This in turn will be a great fan for Indian fans considering the two major tournaments in Asia Cup and World Cup are around the corner. India is slated to tour Ireland for three-match T20I series in August and it?ll be a great opportunity for Jasprit Bumrah to regain his rhythm for the big events.&nbsp;



Speaking to News 18, a senior BCCI official said: ?Jasprit Bumrah is looking very good for the Ireland series in August this year. It will be a big boost to the Indian cricket team and will also allow Bumrah time in the middle after the long injury lay-off. If everything stays on course, a Bumrah at peak fitness is likely to take field,?

Jasprit Bumrah has been out of cricketing action since September 2022, having last played for India in the T20I series against Australia. The pacer missed quite a few important games for India and it?s fair to say that his absence was quite evident as they lost big games and a lacked quality pacer.&nbsp;



Jasprit Bumrah was about to make a comeback into the Indian team through the Sri Lanka series in January. He was named in the team but then was ruled out as he complained about stiffness in his back. He underwent surgery in New Zealand and then missed the IPL 2023 along with the ongoing WTC Final.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI: Indian Squad for the West Indies T20Is prediction</h2>



IND vs WI: After the loss in T20 World Cup 2022, India has been going through a transition in the shortest format of the game. No senior player has featured in the T20I squad and various youngsters have been provided opportunities under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.&nbsp;



With the focus of the senior players more on the <a href="https://www.cricketworldcup.com" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.cricketworldcup.com">ODI World Cup</a> this year, it is expected that the five-match T20I series against West Indies will see a young team.

Some changes and harsh decisions are expected to take place and also various reports have suggested that some fresh faces might end up getting in the squad in place of squads.?



Skipper Rohit Sharma is likely to retain his place in the team but his leadership as well as batting will be under the radar this series. Young Shubman Gill no doubt will be the opener alongside him and the pressure will be on him as well to replicate his white-ball form to the red ball.&nbsp;



Cheteshwar Pujara as per the various media reports is likely to get dropped and in his place, young Yashasvi Jaiswal is likely to be drafted into the team. Sarfaraz Khan, who has piled up a huge amount of runs in the domestic circuit might also make the cut into the team as there has been a lot of criticism about his non-selection.?

Virat Kohli no brainer will be there with the team and will bat in the middle along with Ajinkya Rahane, who made a roaring comeback in the ICC WTC Final, who is also expected to retain his place. KS Bharat and Ishan Kishan will be two keepers in the team till the time Rishabh Pant returns. The scanner will be on Bharat as well as he hasn?t been contributing well enough with the bat.&nbsp;



Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Axar Patel and Shardul Thakur are expected to be four all-rounders in the team. Whereas Umesh Yadav is expected to be dropped.

Coming to the playing 11 for the first ODI, it?s a no-brainer that skipper Rohit Sharma will be at the top and will open the innings. Shubman Gill is likely to be his opening partner. The duo has been exceptional at the top and has been providing great starts to the team.&nbsp;



Virat Kohli is likely to retain his place at No.3 but the big question remains who will bat at No.4? With Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul unlikely to be part of the series, it?ll be an opportunity for Sanju Samson to bat in the middle.&nbsp;



Suryakumar Yadav, who bagged three consecutive ducks in the last ODI series India played, is likely to retain his place and play the finisher's role alongside Indian vice-captain Hardik Pandya. Ravindra Jadeja is expected to be the second all-rounder in the team.?

IND vs WI: India Playing 11 for the first T20I against West Indies Prediction

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a T20 league operated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Inaugurated back in 2007, the tournament is one of the biggest and the wealthiest among franchise-level cricket tournaments. It is a double-round-robin tournament comprising 10 teams representing either states or cities of India.
The IPL is widely regarded as one of the greatest platforms for emerging players, whether from India or other countries around the world. Scouting several big, talented players, the league has seen many promising players enter the role of skipper. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s a list of the five youngest captains in IPL history:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Virat Kohli (22 years 4 months and 6 days)</h3>
Former Indian captain Virat Kohli is the youngest-ever captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He stepped in as the captain for RCB in 2011, replacing injured Daniel Vettori for three games. 
As the captain, Kohli’s leadership was marked by his intense commitment to fitness, work ethic, and aggressive approach to the game. In 2021, Kohli decided to step down as RCB’s captain after the IPL season, citing the need for a new phase in his career. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2: Steve Smith (22 years 11 months and 9 days)</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6791a78be3f89.jpg" alt="" width="783" height="487">
Steve Smith took the Pune Warriors India captaincy from Sourav Ganguly (Image Credit: gettyimages)
Australian legendary batter Steve Smith, one of the most accomplished cricketers of the current generation, is next on our list of the youngest IPL captains. He turned in as the stand-in captain for Pune Warriors India, replacing veteran Indian skipper <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sourav_Ganguly">Sourav Ganguly</a>, who rested himself in 2011. Despite his young age, his calmness and perseverance in decision-making on the field set him apart, particularly in high-pressure situations.
Steve Smith also turned the captain for Australia in several matches of the 2015 World Cup, as he led them to wins on multiple occasions. Smith also led Australia in the 2019 Cricket World Cup as well as the 2017 Champions Trophy. 
<h3 dir="ltr">3: Shreyas Iyer (23 years 3 months and 21 days)</h3>
Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer stepped into the captaincy role after Gautam Gambhir stepped down from the post-midseason in 2018. Under his leadership, DC underwent a remarkable transformation, rising from the lower ranks of the tournament to become one of the most competitive teams.
Having started his leadership role in 2018, he went on to be a superstar with the Kolkata Knight Riders, this time not replacing but reuniting with Gautam Gambhir as captain and mentor. Iyer won the IPL title as the skipper with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2024. 
<h3 dir="ltr">4: Suresh Raina (23 years 3 months and 22 days)</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6791a7909eb8f.jpg" alt="" width="775" height="482">
Former Indian batting all-rounder Suresh Raina led his favourite franchise, Chennai Super Kings, in MS Dhoni’s absence in the year 2008. Raina was largely known for his upfront skills with the bat as well as his electrifying efforts on the field. However, relatively young Raina captained the likes of great Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey, and Muralitharan with immense motivation and contributed to CSK’s growing competitive edge as they made it to the finals in the inaugural season. 
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Rishabh Pant (23 years 6 months and 6 days)</h3>
Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant was named the captain of Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the 2021 season after the former skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the season owing to injury. Despite being new to a leadership role, Pant stepped up with sheer confidence and showed great maturity on the field. Pant’s natural energy and unique stance on the field helped the team get back their morale, though owing to some unforeseen situations Pant doesn’t have a very impressive record as a skipper.

Here is a list of the youngest among the IPL captains.

Scouting several big, talented players, the league has seen many promising players enter the role of skipper at a very young age, as they went on to lead several senior players under their leadership.

IPL, in its history, has seen several legendary young players who have stepped in as captains of their franchise. Here is a list of the youngest among the IPL captains.

Five youngest captains in IPL history ft. Rishabh Pant

Elite Indian All-Rounder Hardik Pandya was once considered as the front runner to become the next captain of Team India. He was leading the team in T20 Internationals in the absence of Rohit Sharma who was busy preparing for tha 2023 ODI World Cup. Many thought that Junior Pandya will replace Rohit as the captain in limited overs formats. 
However, ever since Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new head coach of the Men in Blue, things have gone all wrong for Pandya. Suryakumar Yadav was given the T20 captaincy duties, which was a complete gamble. Moreover, the 31-year-old was not even considered for the role of the vice-captain. 
He was the Vice-captain in the T20 World Cup of 2024 but, he was stripped off that role too. The Mumbai Indians skipper was not even considered for the role of the Vice-captain in the five-match T20 International series versus England. Instead, spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel became the vice-captain of the team.The Men in Blue didn't appoint a deputy in the T20 International series versus South Africa and Bangladesh. 
Nobody has a clear answer to the question of why Pandya was not considered for the Vice-captaincy role. Former Indian Wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik also has no idea about it and he said, "I really don't know. I don't have a clue about why he was removed from the Vice-captaincy position. I don't see any reason. He (Hardik) has done well and he has also proven himself to be a good leader."
<h2>Hardik Pandya's record as the captain of Team India</h2>
Under the leadership of Hardik, the Indian Team have taken part in 16 T20 International matches, securing wins in 11 matches out of those 16 contests. Out of four T20 International series, Hardik helped the Indian team win three. 
<h3>What's the reason behind Hardik's removal as the captain of Team India? </h3>
Meanwhile, according to the news reports of Indian media, the fitness concerns of the 31-year-old was the main reason behind his removal as the captain of the Indian Cricket Team. He has a tendency of getting injured midway through an ICC tournament and then he will directly regain fitness in order to participate in the IPL. 
This didn't go down well with Gambhir and the selectors and this is the main reason why he was stripped off his captaincy duties. The player is currently participating in the T20 International series versus England and he will be playing in the ODI series too. 
He's a part of the Champions Trophy squad of Team India and his good form with both bat &amp; ball will be crucial in the success of the Rohit Sharma-led team in the marquee ICC event of this year. 
The 2013 Champions Trophy winners will be a part of Group - A alongside Fierce-Rivals Pakistan, Asian-Rivals Bangladesh, and Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand. They will be kicking off their 2025 Champions Trophy campaign versus Bangladesh in Dubai.

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.

Prithvi Shaw Can Might Have Chance To Play IPL this Year ? | TATA IPL 2025

Prithvi Shaw After a successful start of his career getting set back and set back ,but the things is not over yet , Prithvi can be have to focus his fitness,the improved fitness can solve many things for him.

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.
