Big Blow for MI in IPL 2023, Pacer Jhye Richardson doubtful after suffering hamstring injury, Ruled out of INDvsAUS ODI series - Reports.



Australian fast bowler Jhye Richardson has been ruled out of the forthcoming three-match ODI series between India and Australia after suffering a hamstring injury. Moreover, the pacer is also doubtful for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.



As per the reports, Richardson aggravated his hamstring injury which he initially picked up during this year's Big Bash League (BBL) season playing for Perth Scorchers. Following the injury, the pacer has also been sidelined for the Marsh Cup final which will be held between Western Australia and South Australia on 10th March.



After sustaining the injury on January 4, Jhye Richardson was sidelined for the remainder of the Perth Scorcher's campaign in the BBL 2022-23. He also didn't take part in the Marsh Cup. Despite his absence from the cricket field, the pacer managed to bag a place for himself in the 16-men Australian squad travelling to India for the three-match ODI series.



The INDvsAUS three games ODI series will begin on March 17 at Wankhede Stadium. The two sides will then travel to Vishakapatnam and Chennai for the last two games of the leg, which will be the conclusion of the Australia tour of India 2023.



Australia's ODI Squad: Pat Cummins (c), Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Sean Abbott, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Jhye Richardson, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Steve Smith, David Warner, Adam Zampa



<h2>Big Blow for MI after Jhye Richardson's injury</h2>



Jhye Richardson's injury further creates a hole in Mumbai Indians' (MI) campaign in the upcoming IPL 2023. Having already lost pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah for the entire season, MI can't bear any more losses in its bowling department. 



The Australian pacer was picked up by Mumbai Indians (MI) from the auction table for his base price of INR 1.5 Crores. 



Interestingly, Richardson took home a massive contract of INR 14 Crores from Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2021, however, his outing remained forgettable in the three games he played for the franchise. The speedster scalped three wickets in as many matches. PBKS eventually released him from the squad and he was recently picked up by Mumbai Indians (MI) from the IPL 2023 Auction table.



MI IPL 2023 Squad: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Dewald Brevis, Kumar Kartikeya, Jofra Archer, Tim David, Tilak Varma, Mohd Arshad Khan, Ramandeep Singh, Hrithik Shokeen, Jasprit Bumrah, Tristan Stubbs, Jason Behrendorff, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal, Cameron Green, Jhye Richardson, Shams Mulani, Duan Jansen, Vishnu Vinod, Arjun Tendulkar, Nehal Wadhera, Raghav Goyal

Big Blow for MI in IPL 2023, Pacer Jhye Richardson doubtful after suffering hamstring injury, Ruled out of INDvsAUS ODI series - Reports

big-blow-for-mi-in-ipl-2023-pacer-jhye-richardson-doubtful-after-suffering-hamstring-injury-ruled-out-of-indvsaus-odi-series-reports

Jhye Richardson, the tall right-arm pacer from Australia has been ruled out of the TATA IPL 2023. He was supposed to play for the Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai Indians had made a steal in the auction when they bought this gem of a bowler for 1 crore Indian rupees only. Jhye Richardson injured his hamstring earlier and he has undergone surgery to fix those hamstring issues. He is going to miss the entire TATA IPL 2023 season and is also doubtful for the Ashes 2023, that follows this tournament. It is a big blow for the Mumbai Indians as well as the Australian Cricket Team. Here is an in-depth look:?



<h2>Jhye Richardson Ruled Out of TATA IPL 2023 Big Blow for Mumbai Indians:&nbsp;</h2>



The Mumbai Indians are already dealing with the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. And the absence of Jhye Richardson adds to that pain. Jhye Richardson injured his hamstring in the Big Bash League. He played through the little symptoms of injury for the Perth Scorchers. HE took Perth Scorchers to victory in that season. ?



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/jhyericho/status/1634430601754476544?cxt=HHwWgIDUuaD-1K4tAAAA
</div></figure>



But this problem has now increased. He has undergone surgery to fix his recurring hamstring issue. The Mumbai Indians will now have to rely on Jason Behrendorff and Jofra Archer to be the overseas fast-bowling battery. Richardson underwent surgery on March 10 and is now in the process of rehabilitation.?



<h2>Possible Replacement for Jhye Richardson for the Mumbai Indians:&nbsp;</h2>



There are very few international bowlers who can match the skill of Jhye Richardson at the price of 1 crore. Here are a few suggestive replacements:&nbsp;



<h3>Chris Jordan:&nbsp;</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Chris-Jordan-min.jpg" alt="Replacement of Jhye Richardson" class="wp-image-99130" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: England Cricket</figcaption></figure>



Jordan is a T20 specialist. He is a world-champion bowler. Chris Jordan is also a death-over specialist. The Mumbai Indians can rope him in and can expect him to bowl in tandem, with Archer at the death. ?



<h3>Adam Milne:?</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Adam-Milne.jpg" alt="Replacement of Jhye Richardson" class="wp-image-70228" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Adam Milne was a part of the Mumbai Indians in 2017, 2016, and 2021. IMG SRC: Mumbai Indians</figcaption></figure>



Adam Milne has previously played for the Mumbai Indians. And he has done decently well for the men in blue. In his 10 games in the IPL, he has picked 7 wickets. His economy is 9.7 but the sample size of games is small. He is a class bowler and a specialist in powerplay overs. Adam Milne was the one who snatched the ODI World Cup 2019 away from the hands of the Indian team. He can consistently bowl at 145 clicks. ?



<h3>Lance Morris:&nbsp;</h3>



Lance Morris or the ?wild thing? as he is known in domestic Australia can also be given an opportunity. Lance is a part of the Australian team that is touring India currently. He is known for his raw pace. He has frightened the domestic Australian batters by sheer pace and it is said that he consistently hits 150 kmph. &nbsp;

Home side Australia have announced their squad for the remaining two Test-Matches of the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series. Youngster Sam Konstas has been drafted into the squad in place of Nathan McSweeney while a dreaded fast bowler has also made his return to Test Squad of Australia after a span of three years. The 2024 BGT series is currently level at 1-1 after the conclusion of three contests. 
The Indian Cricket Team started the series on a winning note by securing a victory in Perth, but the Mighty Australians bounced back in a lovely way by winning the Pink-Ball Test-Match in Adelaide and the Gabba Test-Match ended in a draw due to rain Interruptions. The two remaining encounters of the series will be played in the city's of Melbourne (MCG) and Sydney (SCG) respectively. 
Seamer Jhye Richardson, who has taken part in three five-day matches, has returned to the Australian Test Team after a gap of three long years. He last participated in a Test-Match in December of 2021. He made his test debut versus Sri Lanka in 2019. It will be interesting to see whether Richardson, who has dismissed 11 batters in three Test-Matches, will get a chance to feature in the Melbourne Test-Match or not versus India.
<h3>This promising youngster is expected to make his debut in the fourth Test-Match in Melbourne</h3>

The Mighty Australians are set to have their youngster Test-Batting debut after a long gap of 70 years with youngster Sam Konstas named in the 15-player squad for the final two matches of the five-match series. Konstas has replaced Nathan McSweeney in the squad, who has been dropped after a poor start to his International career. 
Fast-Bowling All-rounder Sean Abbott has also made his return to the Test team for the matches to be held in Melbourne &amp; Sydney. Uncapped All-Rounder Beau Webster has managed to retain his place in the squad, who was included before the second Test-Match in Adelaide. Experienced pacer Josh Hazelwood suffered a calf-injury during the drawn Gabba Test-Match, due to which he has been ruled out of the remainder of the five-match series.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
