The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-chennai-super-kings-csk-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chennai Super Kings</a> did not have an ideal season in IPL 2022. The team is now looking forward to IPL 2023. It will be keen on forming a formidable squad with the best if available options. So, which are the players that the Chennai Super Kings can release and the ones that are currently adding limited value to the team? The reasons for releasing can range from lack of form to disagreement with the management. Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>5) Mitchell Santner will leave CSK in IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



The CSK management failed to make effective use of <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/mitchell-santner/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitchell Santner</a> this season. They tried almost everything with him but couldn?t give him one role consistently. He walked out to bat at number 3 or number 4 in the initial few games. Later on, he was asked to bat lower down. When<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/csks-moeen-ali-to-miss-first-match-against-kkr-due-to-visa-issues/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Moeen Ali </a>was available, Santner was dropped. In the last game of the season, however, Santner got a chance. &nbsp;



Santner is a senior player. He has been in the cricketing circuit for a very long time. If he is not adding value to the Chennai Super Kings it is about time that the team must let him walk away. He is a gun fielder and a good off-spinner. Whenever required, he can hit the ball a long way. He has also led the New Zealand national cricket team. &nbsp;



<h2>4) Moeen Ali might Leave CSK in IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



There are very slim chances that Moeen Ali would be released. But the chances aren?t negligible. The reason is the lack of form of Moeen throughout the season. He did show signs of good touch in the final game but that was just about it. Moeen didn?t bowl many overs and also had a flat IPL 2022 with the bat. His injuries have always been a concern for the team. Moeen is a senior player as well and the CSK management had made the strategies around him. His absence in the initial few games cost them the entire season. This might also be the reason because of why the CSK management will be looking for a more reliable commodity. &nbsp;



<h2>3) Simarjeet Singh/Tushar Deshpande will leave CSK in IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



The availability of Deepak Chahar can ruin the case of Tushar Deshpande, Simarjeet Singh, or even KM Asif. All these young bowlers have left an impact on the IPL. They have showcased their skills to other teams. CSK will not leave <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/washington-sundar-once-again-injured-coach-tom-moody-provides-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mukesh </a>Chaudhary as he is a left-arm pacer and his skillset is rare in the Indian breed. Simarjeet and Tushar however can be approached by any other franchise looking to give them permanent roles. &nbsp;



The arrival of<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/csk-unlikely-to-call-for-deepak-chahars-replacement-in-the-tata-ipl-2022-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Deepak Chahar</a> next season will eventually mean that these players will be warming the bench. So, the players will be keen on exploring the other opportunities in store for themselves. All the 3 mentioned bowlers bowled exceptionally well in the powerplay overs. &nbsp;



<h2>2) Robin Uthappa:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Robin-Uthappa-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-90004" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IM SRC: DNA INDIA</figcaption></figure>



Robin Uthappa has been in and around the IPL for a very long time. He belongs to an elite group of players who were a part of the<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/icc-t20-world-cup-2022-top-5-openers-to-watch-out-for/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ICC T20 World Cup </a>victory in 2007. Uthappa still has a lot to offer. But he isn?t getting enough opportunities at CSK. At times Rayudu gets picked or at times Conway comes in. The CSK management has not been consistent with Robin too. He has delivered in almost every decent opportunity that he has got. Failures do come but their rate of success of his is very high.&nbsp;



His partnership with Shivam Dube has been etched in the minds of every cricket fan. One can never forget his style of walking down the track to a fast bowler and slamming him over the in-filed. Uthappa was good with those cross-bat shots too. He is 35+ which means that he brings in a lot of experience. &nbsp;



<h2>1) Ravindra Jadeja:&nbsp;</h2>



Something looks very wrong between the CSK management and Ravindra Jadeja. Some reports claim that Jadeja left the CSK captaincy on his own while the others say that he had to forcefully give it away. When things go down south, it is always wise on the part of the player to take a step back. The same happened with David Warner last season. He was not on terms with the SRH management so he decided to walk away. He was dropped from the team with injury concern but that certainly doesn?t give a full-proof reason. So, there is a high possibility that Ravindra Jadeja can be released before IPL 2023. He can play for his home team Gujarat Titans.

IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: New Zealand crushes India by 21 runs in the first T20I at Lucknow on January 27. In the opening T20I of the three-match series, opener Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell both smashed half-centuries to power New Zealand to a comfortable 21-run victory. Following a 3-0 ODI series victory, a major setback for India as New Zealand takes an early 1-0 series lead, the Kiwi players put on their usual high-caliber show.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IND-vs-NZ-2.jpg" alt="IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Weather forecast and pitch report for 2nd T20I | Who will win the 2nd T20I | India vs New Zealand" class="wp-image-101698" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">New Zealand won the series opener by 21 runs (Twitter@blackcaps)</figcaption></figure>



Washington Sundar was exceptional with ball and bat in hand and scored his maiden half-century in just 25 balls. Surya Kumar Yadav also batted well on the spinning track but left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner choked India in the middle overs, giving away just 11 runs in his four overs and dismissing two batters. Now, the hosts will be eager to rebound and pull the parity back in Lucknow. The Kiwis will be eager to seal the T20 series at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, boosted by their maiden victory on the India Tour.



The two teams will now square off at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, where they will meet for the first time. However, the hosts remain undefeated at the stadium, upsetting the West Indies in 2018 and Sri Lanka in 2022.



If we discuss the weather, it was favorable for the game in the 1st T20I. The 2nd T20I Match is to be played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow so let?s check out the weather forecast and Pitch report for the 2nd T20I match IND vs NZ.



<h2>IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Weather forecast</h2>



IND vs NZ | 2nd T20I of New Zealand tour of India 2023 will take place on January 29 (Sunday) at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, India. The match begins at 7:00 PM IST.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-161.png" alt="IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Weather forecast and pitch report for 2nd T20I | Who will win the 2nd T20I | India vs New Zealand" class="wp-image-101692" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND VS NZ 2ND T20I weather forecast (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/tenday/l/9fa0aff5ba4d357624b9983710b76dcf98b084b96dc682e52248aa54e431a48c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



According to weather.com, on January 29 (Sunday), the weather conditions are favorable for a cricket match. The temperature of India?s Lucknow city will be 22? Celsius during the day and drop to 12? Celsius at night. The sky will be clear in the daytime but some clouds might float overheads on the night sky.



The chances of rain are 6% during the day and 9% at night during the match day. The humidity is on the higher side ranging between 76% to 88%&nbsp; and winds will blow toward the East at the speed of 6kmph.



<h2>IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Pitch Report</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/bharat-ratna...-Lucknow.jpg" alt="IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Weather forecast and pitch report for 2nd T20I | Who will win the 2nd T20I | India vs New Zealand" class="wp-image-101693" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs NZ |Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Pitch report</figcaption></figure>



The pitches at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium are both black soil and red soil. Additionally, in all of the T20I games played at the venue so far, the team batting first has won the match, indicating that the wickets do indeed slow down as the game goes on, but the faster bowlers have taken the majority of the wickets. Furthermore, bowlers will relish tailing the ball in the air with higher humidity levels.



The average score in the first inning is 172, and it reduces to 145 in the second. India's highest total in this venue is 199/2, which was also achieved while batting first. Since the team batting first has won all five of the T20Is played here, the captain who wins the toss will likely decide to bat first.



<h2>IND vs NZ 2nd T20I: Who Will Win the 2nd T20I?</h2>



To be honest, India do have much more caliber on the field than they showed last night. Hardik Pandya and co. will try their best to come over the loss and put up the best show. Meanwhile, New Zealand on the other hand displayed all marks excellently in the first T20I and definitely will love to carry that 1st match momentum throughout the series.



Again, toss can play an important role. As the venue looks like batting paradise, the team batting first scores 190+ and will win the game.&nbsp;

ICC World Cup 2023 Most Wickets Takers Ranking [Top 5] - Jasprit Bumrah Ranks 3rd in the List!

icc-world-cup-2023-most-wickets-takers-ranking-top-5-jasprit-bumrah-ranks-3rd-in-the-list

After a nail biting last - ball thriller in the first T20i of the Three - match series, expectations were pretty high from New Zealand to bounce back in the series with a win in the second T20i. However, the Kiwis were not able to&nbsp; get a desired result at Auckland?s Eden Park. The mighty Aussies, despite their below par batting performance in the first innings, defeated the Mitchell Santner led team by 72 runs in the second game and took an unreachable 2-0 lead in the three - match T20i series. An excellent bowling performance by the Aussie bowling unit saw the Black Caps get bundled out for just 102 runs while chasing 175 runs on Friday, 23rd February.



The Black Caps were dealt a heavy blow during the second T20i when Wicket - Keeper Devon Conway got injured in the first inning of the game while keeping behind the stumps. ?Devon (Conway) has departed from Eden Park in order to undergo an X - ray on his injured left thumb after he got hurt while wicket - keeping in tonight?s second T20i against Australia,? New Zealand Cricket said in an official statement.

https://twitter.com/cricketcomau/status/1760958945584443424
</div></figure>



Luckily, Conway didn?t fracture his thumb but the Wicket - Keeper didn?t take any further part in the second T20i. Conway?s injury has come as a big blow to New Zealand as they are already without the services of youngster Rachin Ravindra, who was ruled out of the second T20i due to a knee injury.



The Kiwis were in a strong position after the end of the Australian innings as they bowled out the Aussies for 174 runs in 19.5 overs. No Aussie batter was able to register a fifty in the first innings of the match. Opener Travis Head (45 runs in 22 balls) top scored for the visitors while Pat Cummins (28 runs in 22 balls) showed some resilience with his cameo but he wasn?t able to prevent the hosts from inflicting an All out against the Kangaroos. Kiwi seamer Lockie Ferguson (4-12) was the best bowler of the night for the hosts while the trio of Adam Milne (2-40), Ben Sears (2-29) and captain Mitchell Santner (2-35) took two wickets each.



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/699573C8-61C4-461E-BDE2-584E5EAE6D6F_4_5005_c.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-127058" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Adam Zampa vs New Zealand | Image: X(Cricket Australia)</figcaption></figure>



With the New zealand bowling unit dominating the visitors in the first innings, it was the turn of the mighty Aussies to bounce back in the match. Josh Hazlewood (1-12) was clinical with his bowling, while Pat Cummins (1-19) provided a good amount of support to the Aussie bowling unit. With Conway out due to injury, the Kiwis didn?t have any idea of how to tackle the Australia pacers. The Pressure put on the top order of the New Zealand Batting order made the hosts batters desperate and they crumbled against the spin wizardry of Adam Zampa (4-34). Zampa?s four wicket haul allowed the Aussie?s to win the Second T20i and seal the Three - Match T20i series.



Aussie ODI and Test captain Pat Cummins (1-19 and 28 runs in 22 balls) was adjudged the Man of The Match, which surprised the 30 year old and he said that he didn?t expect him getting the award and added that he relished the fact of not being the captain of the Australians.



?Dunno how I received this award, but I will take it. Yeah, batting wise, some came off the edges and I guess I will take it. I love this feeling ( of not captaining) and just going to field at the boundary and coming in to bowl. I love it,? the 30 year old said at the post match presentation.

AUS vs NZ, 2nd T20I Highlights: Australia defeat New Zealand by 72 runs in the second T20I

aus-vs-nz-2nd-t20i-highlights-australia-defeat-new-zealand-by-72-runs-in-the-second-t20i

IND vs NZ: The second day of the Pune Test has come to an end, and this day was not the brightest of days in Indian cricket. New Zealand, the victorious side from Chinnaswamy, has once again gained the upper hand in the second Test. The innings seemed very different from the scenario in the first test when India faced an early batting collapse, which was humiliating; however, this time around, India began the first day with a rising bowling performance dominated by the Tamil Nadu spin duo. Likes of Ravi Ashwin and newly added surprise spinner Washington Sundar were India?s lead spinning options in the slow and turning pitch of MCA. However, despite the spin-favoring track, the Kiwi batters didn?t seem to struggle in and out, as Conway and Ravindra seemed to handle pace efficiently. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Tom-Latham-IND-vs-NZ-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-148917" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tom Latham scores 86 to help New Zealand extend lead post 300 (Image Credit: Sky Sports)</figcaption></figure>



 The Kiwis were bowled out for 259, as Sundar was the pick of the bowlers for India with 7/59. India, with the dismissal of the skipper for a duck, ended Day 1 with 16/1. Day 2 seemed to have brought lots of hope for the Indian youngsters and seemed to have started well with Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal scoring vital runs for India. Kiwi spinners seemed to have a better hand than Indian players; Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips picked 9 wickets between themselves, which caused another major batting collapse for India. Jadeja was India?s highest scorer with just 38 runs.

 India were bowled out for 156, as New Zealand kept a 103-run lead intact, with even the likes of Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant failing to score enough runs in the Indian innings this time around. New Zealand skipper Tom Latham led from the front with a stunning 86-run innings, as others failed to capitalize in front of Sundar. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Sundar">Washington Sundar</a> picked 4 wickets in this innings as well, alongside Ashwin?s first wicket of Young. With this, Kiwis ended Day 2 with 198/5 at Stumps.

</div></figure>



 The BlackCaps have extended their lead to above three hundred, despite Washington Sundar, who is playing his dream return match at the MCA, as he has picked his maiden ten-wicket haul. Latham was the last Kiwi wicket to fall, which was Sundar?s 11th wicket of the match. India will hope to be back on Day 4, especially with some promising performances from their batters.

IND vs AUS: India suffered a humiliating whitewash in the home Test series against New Zealand by a 3-0 margin. It marked India?s first Test series defeat at home since 2012 and the first whitewash in a home Test series since they started playing Test cricket.



This was much down to the Indian batters? struggles while playing spin on spin-friendly pitches. Ajaz Patel, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Santner">Mitchell Santner</a> and Glenn Phillips wreaked havoc on the Indian batters and they failed to get going. India has really struggled to play spin on spin-friendly pitches in both ODI and Test cricket. Former World Cup-winning captain, Ricky Ponting, has blamed the IPL for Indian batters? inability to play spin.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/CricCrazyJohns/status/1855213319285567737
</div></figure>



?Maybe it?s the IPL or how much IPL cricket they?re playing that the younger players are learning the game that way rather than the way that players did 15 or 20 years ago,? said Ricky Ponting.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ricky Ponting was shocked to see India?s 3-0 loss against New Zealand</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Ricky-Ponting-New-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-149367" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ponting was left startled by India's 3-0 loss to New Zealand (Image Credit: NDTV Sports) </figcaption></figure>



Ponting also added that the series result came as a shock for him given India?s dominance at home and the Kiwis playing without their main batter in Kane Williamson. He highlighted India?s vulnerability while playing spin on helpful tracks and stated that the modern Indian batters don?t have the skill of negative quality spin bowling as the earlier batters used to have.



Ponting also pointed out that the Indian batters are playing on good wickets on pace-friendly wickets in domestic cricket and that has really developed their pacers. However, the one downside is that it has really deteriorated the spin-playing abilities of the current Indian batters.



Team India lost the first match of the series by eight wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, then they suffered a 113-run defeat in Pune and finally a 25-run defeat at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The batting averages of the Indian batters have really gone down in Test cricket due to their inability to play spin on home soil.

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has provided a huge fitness update on Mohammed Shami ahead of the third T20I against England. He rubbished off all the rumours of the pacer getting injured and added that calls related to him playing will be taken by the captain and coach. 
Mohammed Shami has been keeping many wondering about his fitness even though he is part of the Indian team for the ongoing T20I series against England. He didn't play in the first match and it raised many speculations that he again has been injured ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since the 2023 World Cup final, made a return to cricket after an ankle injury in the Ranji Trophy for Bengal. He played one game in the red-ball format and then played the Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, he developed swelling in his knee, which was a blow. 
Mohammed Shami was even ruled out of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and then BCCI added him to the team for the T20I series against England. This was because they wanted the pacer to be fit completely and get into rhythm ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will begin on 19th February.
<h2>Shami is fit but something about him playing or not playing, I am not the one who can answer - India batting coach</h2>
With Mohammed Shami not playing the first two games of the T20I series against England raising speculations over his injury, India's batting coach has provided an update. He said that the fast bowler has no injury concerns and is fit. Speaking to reporters, he said: 
"Yes, Shami is fit but something about him playing or not playing, I am not the one who can answer." 
Sitanshu Kotak revealed that BCCI has kept a separate plan for Mohammed Shami and added that calls related to his inclusion in the XI will be taken by Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav. He added: 
"There is definitely a plan (for Shami) for coming matches as well and One-dayers, but the coach Gautam and obviously Surya will take a call. And fitness, definitely not a problem depending on how they are planning to build this load." 
India are 2-0 ahead in the five-match T20I series against England. The third match of the series will be played on Tuesday (28th January) in Rajkot.

After two great games, the Indian cricket team will lock horns with England in the third match of the five-match T20I series. This clash will begin at 7 PM on Tuesday at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. The first two matches have ended in India's favor as they have had great contributions from their players.
England had some good performances, but they failed to grab the chances. This will be a do-or-die game for the visitors as they are on the verge of losing the series. Whatever the result will be, there will be fireworks from both sides.
Both teams will enter this game to take down their opponents. In this article, we will talk about the approaching milestones and records for the third IND vs ENG T20I on Tuesday.
IND vs ENG: List of approaching records for the third T20I in Rajkot
2 - Arshdeep Singh has three wickets in the first two games. He is just two wickets away from creating history. With two more wickets, he will become the first Indian bowler to take 100 wickets in T20Is. Remember, he just won the "ICC T20I Player of the Year 2025." If he can do it in Rajkot, he will become the fastest pacer to 100 T20I wickets as well.
2 - Washington Sundar played the second game and took one wicket in one over he bowled. He has now 48 wickets in 53 T20Is and is just 2 wickets away from becoming the 11th Indian with 50 or more T20I wickets.
30 - Jos Buttler is the leading scorer in two games, having scored 113 runs at an average of 56.50. He is England's highest scorer in T20Is and now is just 30 runs away from becoming the fifth-highest scorer overall in T20Is. Buttler needs 32 runs to go past Martin Guptill's tally of 3531 T20I runs.
5 - Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has failed in both games, but he needs just one good innings to come back to his best. Suryakumar has hit 145 sixes so far and needs just five more to complete 150 sixes and become only the fifth batter to do so. 
24 - English opener Phil Salt needs 24 runs to complete 2000 international runs for England.
69 - Buttler has been superb in the series. If he can score 69 runs, he will become only the 8th English batter of all time to complete 11,500 international runs.
4 - Washington Sundar has represented India in all three formats. He has 96 wickets in his career and needs four more to complete 100 international wickets.

The wait to see Virat Kohli in Delhi colours for the Ranji Trophy is all set to end. The premier India batter is all set to play the final round of the ongoing tournament, which will begin on 30th January, with Delhi taking on Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. 
The reports in ESPNCricinfo have revealed that Virat Kohli will be joining the Delhi team for the next round of the Ranji Trophy on Tuesday (28th January). The India batter will be training with his state team for two days before taking the field against Railways on 30th January.
Virat Kohli playing against Railways will mark the first instance when he will be playing in the Ranji Trophy after 2012. All the Indian players will be returning to domestic cricket after BCCI made it mandatory for the players to play, especially after the debacle in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 
<h2>Virat Kohli playing in the Ranji Trophy will be a great opportunity for him to regain his form</h2>
Virat Kohli playing in the Ranji Trophy will be a great opportunity for him to regain his form. The batter has been struggling to get going in the Tests of late and has been averaging in the mid-20s for the last few years, and this has been a serious cause of concern for the team. 
Returning to domestic cricket will be a great opportunity for him to get back to his best. The batter, since the last week, has been putting the hard yards in Mumbai. He worked with former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar to improve his batting before heading into the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. 
Virat Kohli has been great for India, but in recent times, he has witnessed a decline in the longest format of the game.  He failed miserably in the Tests in 2024. The batter struggled to get runs at home against Bangladesh and New Zealand, and then the same story continued in Australia. 
Kohli started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a high as he hit a blistering ton in the first match of the series. However, after that, he looked clueless with the bat as he managed just 90 runs in the last 4 games. He would be keen to get some runs in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 now and get some confidence under his belt.

India Test and ODI skipper Rohit Sharma along with batters in Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer won't be featuring the next round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that they will be attending BCCI's awards on 2nd February followed by short camp. 
The next round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 is all set to begin from 30th January and Mumbai will be taking on Meghalaya at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in BKC. It will be a must win game for Mumbai, especially with loss in last game. 
Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer had a poor outing with the bat in the last game against Jammu and Kashmir. It was expected that he would turn out for another game to get some confidence under their belt but that won't be the case. 
<h2>They are supposed to report for a short camp to Nagpur before the three-match ODI series against England - BCCI source on Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer</h2>
The source close to BCCI confirmed that after the awards, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer will be travelling to Nagpur for the camp ahead of the England ODIs. Speaking to Times of India, he said: 
"Rohit, Jaiswal and Iyer are all likely to attend the BCCI's Naman Annual awards in Mumbai on February 1. Next day (February 2), they are supposed to report for a short camp to Nagpur before the three-match ODI series against England."
Them missing the next round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 will raise some concerns too, especially for Rohit Sharma. The batter has been going through the torrid run of form in the Tests and also failed in the last match of the Ranji Trophy, where he managed just 31 runs acorss two innings. 
There has been lot of talks about the future of Rohit Sharma in Tests. The batter has been struggling to get going in the longest format of the game, failing in the series against Bangladesh and New Zealand at home and also in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
