<p>The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is around the corner. Many players are missing this tournament due to some injuries or niggles. The cricket community is awaiting this great tournament since the last year. The fact that a few greats of the game will miss this tournament is not easily digestible. We have Jonny Bairstow who misses out, Jasprit Bumrah who is likely ruled out, and Shaheen Afridi is not 100% fit too. So, who is the other player who can manage to make an impact in the absence of these players? &nbsp;</p>



<h2>1) Arshdeep Singh Will Play for India at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/arshdeep-min.webp" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-95157" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Punjab Kings</figcaption></figure>



<p>Arshdeep Singh might be the one who replaces Jasprit Bumrah if he is out due to a back injury. Or even if Bumrah is present, Arshdeep may step in if Harshal Patel is having a tough time. In Bumrah?s absence, it is time for Arshdeep to put his hand up and show immense character. He does have the potential to get the job done and he needs to apply the same. Singh impressed in the 1<sup>st</sup> T20I against South Africa. He bothered the South Africans by sheer swing. He needs to replicate something similar at the death and make use of his wide yorkers. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>2) Fazalhaq Farooqi Will Play for Afghanistan at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Fazalhaq-Farooqi-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-95156" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Punjab Kings</figcaption></figure>



<p>Fazalhaq Farooqi is the spearhead of the Afghanistan bowling. He is the first genuine fast bowler on the Afghan team. Farooqi was earlier associated as a net bowler for the Punjab Kings and the Chennai Super Kings before he got a full-time contract with the Sunrisers. He was elite in the Asia Cup. He bothered the left-handed batters with his outswing and for the right-handers, his angle itself was difficult to deal with. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>3) Harry Brook:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Harry Brook will possibly find a place in the 11 as Jonny Bairstow is not there. So, Brook will get a good number of opportunities to impress. The race is between him and Ben Duckett. But Brook has been pretty consistent and deserves the place more. Harry Brook is a lesser-known prospect on the global stage the ICC T20 World Cup seems to be the right place for him to showcase what he has got. He also has a 360-degree game.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>4) Naseem Shah will Play for Pakistan at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Naseem-Shah-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup" class="wp-image-95154" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Pakistan Cricket Board</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shaheen is susceptible to injury and hence Naseem will have to shoulder some responsibility. Naseem Shah was a surprise call-up at the Asia Cup 2022 and he was worth the investment. He troubled Virat Kohli like no other bowler. His line and length are precise. At 19, Naseem already has 3 years of experience in top-flight cricket. Naseem will be rooting to get a chance at the ICC T20 World Cup. The race is between him, Shahnawaz Dahani, and Haris Rauf. Rauf is surely going to play. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>5) Tim David:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Tim-David-min-1024x664.jpg" alt="Tim David" class="wp-image-95155" /><figcaption>After making an impression in the IPL, it is time for international cricket. IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Tim David and Marcus Stonis have a competition for the finisher's role in the Australian team. But Tim David will be preferred if he remains fit. The reason is that the ACB went out of its way to get his nationality documents prepared at the earliest. So, as the old people say ?If you borrow a suit, you need to wear that suit.? Hence it is clear that David will be in the playing XI. Tim hasn?t left a lasting impression as such on the international cricket circuit. So, the ICC T20 World Cup is the ideal platform to do so. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Farooqi Mankad Shadab Khan:</strong> It felt like 'd?j??Vu as Naseem Shah's excellent batting skills snatched flesh from Lion's jaw. Pakistan won the last-over thriller by 1 wicket outclassing Afghanistan. Last Over also managed to grab a controversial moment where Farooqi mankad Shadab Khan in the final over of AFG vs PAK 2nd ODI.</p>



<p>Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bat first. Both Afghan openers held intact and combined together for an over 200 runs opening stand. Wicketkeeper-batsman Gurbaz was solid on the pitch and struck 151 runs with a strike rate of 100. Riding on his ton and a half runs and Ibrahim Zadran's 80, Afghanistan finally managed to put 300 runs on board.</p>



<p>In the chase, Pakistan also got off to a good start with a 50-run opening stand and then a 120-run second-wicket partnership. Pakistan were 176 for 2 wickets down and soon 211 for 6 wickets down. Then came the Player of the Match Shadab Khan. His quick 48 off 35 helped Pakistan needing 11 runs off the last over.</p>



<p>Fazalhaq Farooqi had the ball in his hands in the last over with Naseem Shah on the strike and Shadab Khan on the non-striker's end. Farooqi marked his run-up and ran to the bowling crease and he found Shadab short of his ground. With game awareness at the moment, he ran him out at the non-striker's end.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Watch: Farooqi Mankad Shadab Khan </strong></h2>



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

</div></figure>



<p>As he started to run up, Farooqi quickly noticed that the Pakistani batsman had already left the crease before he had even delivered the ball, and in an instant of pure awareness, he stopped mid-action to remove the bail.</p>



<p>At a vital point in the game, the Afghan pacer's foresight allowed his side to dismiss the threatening batter. Shadab, on the other hand, walked back to the pavilion shaking his head incredulously, appearing unsatisfied with his dismissal.</p>



<p>Despite Shadab's dismissal, the game had a thrilling finish as Pakistan managed to win by only one wicket against Afghanistan in the last over. Naseem Shah managed to sneak a boundary to the third-man barrier, ensuring Pakistan won the three-game series 2-0. Despite the Afghan bowlers fighting hard, with Farooqi leading the attack and getting three wickets, the Afghan squad failed to win an ODI against Pakistan.</p>



<p>Now, Pakistan and Afghanistan will battle in the third and last ODI of this bilateral series on 26th August. Afghanistan will once again fight hard to snatch the first win against Pakistan whereas Pakistan will look for a clear sweep and perfect series result just before heading into Asia Cup 2023.</p>

Watch: Farooqi Mankad Shadab Khan In Final Over Thriller | AFG vs PAK 2nd ODI

<p><strong>IND vs PAK: Trouble for Pakistan as Naseem Shah gets injured during Asia Cup 2023 PAK vs BAN clash: </strong>In a very troubling development for Pakistan ahead of their crucial IND vs PAK clash on September 10, young left-arm pacer Naseem Shah has coped with a blow on his shoulders during the ongoing Pakistan vs Bangladesh clash in Lahore. </p>



<p>Naseem Shah looked sharp with his executions during the first spell and accounted for the first breakthrough against Bangladesh. He got rid of all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz for a duck with a pretty soft dismissal. </p>



<p>The incident took place in the second delivery of the sixth over being bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi. The delivery was directed onto the pads, which went to fine leg where Naseem Shah was stationed. Shah took a slide to his left to stop the ball from touching the boundary rope, however, he was unsuccessful. </p>



<p>As the first impression of the slide, Naseem looked fine, but unfortunately, he didn't move for a while and was soon attended by the physio. The pacer was in pain and was taken off the field to receive careful medical attention for his injured shoulder.</p>



<p>The left-arm seamer bowled four overs in his first spell and got off the field eventually following that threatening slide. But fortunately, he returned in the seventeenth over and cracked 140 kmph deliveries straight away.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pakistan escape Naseem Shah headache ahead of IND vs PAK clash</strong></h2>



<p>Had Naseem Shah suffered a major blow, then it could have led to trouble in the Pakistani camp for further assignments in the Asia Cup 2023. Shah is a key figure which makes Pakistan's pace bowling unit a formidable one when paired alongside Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.</p>

<p>He was in a fine rhythm in his first spell against Bangladesh in the ongoing match. The southpaw immediately created an impact with his bowling. </p>



<p>His injury could have turned into a nightmare for Pakistan as they aim to get crowned as Asia Cup 2023 champions and pose themselves as a serious threat in the impending ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.</p>

PAK vs SL 2023: Pakistan Strongest Playing 11 After Naseem Shah was ruled out of Asia Cup 2023 | Asia Cup 2023 Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2023 Super 4 Match

<p><strong>Naseem Shah Likely To Be Ruled Out Of World Cup 2023 Due To Shoulder Injury:</strong> The top pace bowler for Pakistan Cricket, Naseem Shah, is set to miss the entirety of the highly anticipated tournament owing to a shoulder injury he suffered during the IND vs PAK Super 4s Match (Asia Cup 2023), which has brought a setback to the team's preparations for the ICC World Cup 2023.</p>

<p>Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan in a last-ball thriller by two wickets to get to their 11th Asia Cup final amid the absence of hurt pacers Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. Following Pakistan's elimination from the Asia Cup 2023 on Thursday, Babar Azam made a clue about the next development at the post-match news conference.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="naseem-shah-got-injured-in-ind-vs-pak"><strong>Naseem Shah got injured in IND vs PAK </strong></h3>



<p>During the India vs Pakistan battle at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, while bowling his 10th over (46th over) Naseem Shah left the ground as he had some issues with his shoulder. He didn't even complete his over and quickly went for scans. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/09/Naseem-Shah-Pak.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-119137" /></figure>



<p>Naseem was the only bowler who was able to offer some resistance to the Indian top order in the game. His economy was less than 6 and his absence negatively affected Pakistan's bowling in the virtual semifinals against Sri Lanka. </p>



<p>Haris Rauf also went through back strain in the same match but Babar and the PCB are pretty confident about his recovery till the upcoming main event.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="scan-reports-and-world-cup-route-of-naseem-shah"><strong>Scan Reports and World Cup Route of Naseem Shah</strong></h3>



<p>Pakistan Cricket Board first revealed that the reports of the initial scans were not scary and he would recover soon. But the recent reports say that it is worse than what was suspected before.</p>



<p><em>According to a report published by ESPNcricinfo,</em> the PCB is reportedly seeking a second opinion, although scans from tests in Dubai seem to indicate the injury may prevent him from playing for the whole of the year. </p>



<p><em>As per ESPN, </em>he might miss the series against Australia which is scheduled for the end of 2023. He could also miss the next Pakistan Super League in 2024.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-pcb-updated"><strong>What PCB Updated</strong></h3>



<p>PCB released a statement on his recovery. The statement reads, "<em><strong>The Pakistan Cricket Board's medical team has been monitoring the status of Naseem Shah?s shoulder injury sustained during the Asia Cup 2023.</strong></em>"</p>



<p>"<strong><em>Medical consultations with the experts are underway to provide the best possible care to Naseem. The PCB medical panel will decide on the fast bowler's return to cricket based on further assessments.</em></strong>"</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="impact-of-naseems-absence"><strong>Impact of Naseem's Absence</strong></h3>



<p>If all the above reports are considered to be true then it is definitely a huge blow for Pakistan just ahead of the World Cup 2023 in India. He is one of the three workhorses of the Pakistani bowling arsenal and the team as well as the team's campaign will feel his absence.</p>



<p>Naseem has transformed over the past year from a red-ball specialist to a versatile all-format bowler for Pakistan, and with his current form, he is the finest of the world-famous trio, which also includes Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf.</p>



<p>Naseem Shah has some eye-catching figures in his young ODI career of 14 matches. He has picked up 32 wickets and that too with the strike rate of less than 22. His bowling economy is 4.69 averaging just below 17 and these numbers are just steller.</p>



<p>In a few days, when the reports of his secondary scans are available, the PCB is anticipated to make a formal decision. Zaman Khan replaced him in the Asia Cup, while Mohammad Hasnain, another probable replacement, has since been injured.</p>

Naseem Shah Likely To Be Ruled Out Of World Cup 2023 Due To Shoulder Injury | ODI World Cup 2023

<p><strong>(10 June) ICC?<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/t20-world-cup/icc-mens-t20-world-cup-2024/">T20 World Cup 2024</a>:</strong>? Another low-scoring contest in the T20 World Cup 2024 but this time, the defending team successfully defended the below-par score. India defeated Pakistan in New York in front of over 30,000 spectators by 6 runs in a nail-biting contest. This post lists the Players with the Most Runs and Most Wickets in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Updated After IND vs PAK.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#most-runs-icc-t-20-world-cup-2024">Most Runs: ICC T20 World Cup 2024 </a></li><li class=""><a href="#most-wickets-icc-t-20-world-cup-2024">Most Wickets: ICC T20 World Cup 2024</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Whenever these two teams i.e., India and Pakistan are in the two corners, the contest itself becomes entertaining. Be it a high-scoring ground, average-scoring ground, or below-average-scoring ground, These two teams have always delivered the flavors of strong spices in cricket.</p>



<p>In a similar contest last night, India snatched the match out of Pakistan's jaw and credit must go to the bowling unit altogether. Defending a below-par score is never easy and that too when you have got just an 8% winning chance but they did it.</p>



<p>Pakistan won the toss and asked India to bat first. Rain however delayed the proceeding by an hour but there was no loss to the overs. Rohit produced 8 runs from the first over but Naseem got Virat Kohli caught at point in the second over. Shaheen sent Rohit back to the pavilion in the 3rd over and India were 19 for two all of a sudden. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/virat-1.jpg" alt="ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets (10 June) Updated After IND vs PAK | Player Rankings 1 ? 10" class="wp-image-135118" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Naseem got Virat early (ICC/Getty images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rishabh Pant wasn't able to find the sweet connection with the ball and still managed to find boundaries and runs, Axar, on the other hand, kept scoring with good intelligence. Naseem Shah knocked off Axar Patel in the 8th over and by the 12th over, India were 88 for just 3 down. It was all and all a powerful situation in that pitch but Pakistan turned the table after that.</p>



<p>India kept losing wickets one after the other and Pakistan were all over the Indian team. They got the momentum on their side and India were all-out for 119. India lost 7 wickets for just 30 runs in the last 9 overs. This looked to be an easy target for Pakistan with a long and attacking batting line-up.</p>



<p>Babar and Rizwan opened up for Pakistan. Siraj and Arshdeep were disciplined with the new ball and Bumrah created an opportunity but was dropped by Shivan Dube. But again in the same over, he made Babar knick a good length ball to slip and Surya grabbed an amazing low catch. </p>



<p>Though Pakistani batters were batting and getting some runs, they lacked in the intent. Fakhar showed a bit of courage but Hardik got him going back to the dugout. Pakistan were at 80 runs after 14 overs and needed 39 runs in 36 balls with 7 wickets in hand and Mohammad Rizwan playing at 31 on 43 balls but a peach from Bumrah castled through Rizwan. </p>

<p>Imad Wasim then tried to power his innings but he ran out of Partners from the other end. Pakistan scored 22 runs in 30 balls and needed 18 runs off the last over. Naseem Shah threw his bat on the ball but couldn't do much and India won the contest by 6 runs.</p>

ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets (10 June) Updated After IND vs PAK | Player Rankings 1 ? 10

icc-t20-world-cup-2024-players-with-most-runs-and-most-wickets-10-june-updated-after-ind-vs-pak-player-rankings-1-10

<p>Pakistan have made a set of touch calls ahead of their next two clashes against England, as they have dared to drop the likes of veteran batter Babar Azam and pace duo Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Pak-drop-big-3.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-148490" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Pakistan drop their 3-big stars ahead of 2nd and 3rd Test against England (Image: CricTracker)</figcaption></figure>



<p><br>The likes of uncapped and talented batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamran_Ghulam">Kamran Ghulam </a>have been called up to feature for Pakistan and might be seen tackling the middle order, replacing the great Babar Azam. <br> <br>The other major name who have been replaced from the side includes Haseebullah, who replaced the likes of veteran wicketkeeper and Champions Trophy-winning captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed. <br> <br>Spinner Mehran Mumtaz has also been called up for a backup option other than Abrar Ahmed, who went wicketless for Pakistan in the first Test, while seasoned spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali have also been added to the squad as they replaced the likes of the two quicks from the side. </p>

</div></figure>



<p><br>Though Babar?s drop in form has been documented well, the dip in form for Shaheen has also been quite eminent, since he has averaged over 45 in red-ball cricket since his return to test cricket after his injury state. <br> <br>Naseem was the other pacer who followed with a bad form as well, while Naseem remained Pakistan?s specialist red-ball bowler for years without having played white-ball cricket. After Naseem too returned from his injury this April, he could not assess his pace and accuracy following his surgery. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pakistan?s probable playing 11 ahead of the Second Multan Test</h2>



<p>The Pakistan Cricket Board has finally announced their squad for the upcoming test match fixtures to be held against the touring English side, who crushed them in a disastrous defeat. <br> <br><strong>Pakistan Squad for 2nd and 3rd Test:</strong> <em>Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice captain), Aamer Jamal, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Abdullah Shafique, Haseebullah (wicketkeeper), Kamran Ghulam, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Sajid Khan, Salman Ali Agha, and Zahid Mehmood.</em> </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Let?s take a look at the possible playing 11 ahead of the final two tests against England:</h3>

<p><strong>Openers: Abdullah Shafique and Saim Ayub</strong><br> <br>Pakistan's most highly recognized opening pair is Shafique and Ayub, of which the former was seen as a centurion in the first innings of the Pakistan inning. <br> <br><strong>Middle-order batters: Shan Masood [C], Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan</strong><br> <br>The Pakistan skipper started off well in the first innings against England, as the Multan track always seems to be a healthy track for batters. The legendary Babar Azam might be replaced by the debutant Kamran Ghulam. <br> <br>Among the Pakistan team, the two most set batters who seem to be in touch, Saud Shakeel and Rizwan, are expected to be possibly placed into the side. <br> <br><strong>All-rounders and bowlers: Salman Ali Agha, Mir Hamza, Aamer Jamal, Abrar Ahmed, and Noman Ali</strong><br> <br>The in-form Salman Ali Agha, who scored stunning innings against Bangladesh, also went on to score a hundred in the first inning of the game while also backing his innings with another half-century. <br> <br>Also, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi will be replaced by a duo of spin and pace, as the most likely players to be brought into the squad are Hamza and Noman Ali.</p>

<p><strong>Pakistan:</strong> After suffering an embarrassing group-stage exit from this year's T20 International World Cup, Pakistan will be looking to make a strong comeback when they travel to Australia to take part in six white-ball contests.</p>



<p>Keeping in mind the National Team's recent abysmal form, the nation's Cricket Governing Body, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering making some drastic-changes to the team's limited-overs setup.</p>



<p>According to some emerging news-reports, veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan is likely to take over the limited-overs leadership duties of Pakistan from Babar Azam. The 32-year-old has performed well for the Shaheens on a regular basis and he can help the team turn around their fortunes with his game awareness and tactical-skills.</p>



<p>As per the report of Cricket Pakistan, the experienced duo of Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman might get dropped from the Shaheens? squad for the T20i and ODI series versus Australia. While Zaman is not on good terms with the PCB following the support he showed towards Babar Azam, Shadab will likely not get a chance to feature in the squads due to his lengthy poor run of form with the ball.</p>



<p>The news-report also claims that the Pakistani selectors are thinking of dropping Iftikhar Ahmed, their main finisher in limited-overs Cricket. In such a scenario, the One Day International and T20 International squads of the Green Shirts are likely to feature a lot of new faces.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam And Naseem Shah To Return?</strong></h2>



<p>In what proved to be a dramatic and bold move, the PCB decided to exclude the trip of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam &amp; Naseem Shah from their Test-Squad midway through the test-series versus England, citing the players will be rested keeping in mind the upcoming Australian tour in November.</p>



<p>So it's highly likely that these three experienced players will make their comebacks in the One-Day International series versus Australia and the duo of Shaheen &amp; Babar will also be featuring in the T20 International squad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Developing Young Players The Sole Focus of PCB Ahead of Australian tour</strong></h2>



<p>If the news-reports are to be beloved, then it's likely that the Pakistani Cricket Team selectors are keen on giving chances to promising youngsters and will be including several young guns in the T20 International and One Day International squads for the tour of Australia.</p>



<p>While the spin bowling duo of Mehran Mumtaz and Sufiyaan Muqeem are likely to be handed their maiden-call-ups to the national squad, the likes of Qasim Akram, Yasir Khan, Kamran Ghulam and Arafat Minhas are likely to be given chances to prove themselves on the International stage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pakistan?s predicted squad for the T20 International series versus Australia</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Babar Azam, Zaman Khan, Abbas Afridi, Aamir Jamal, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mehran Mumtaz, Sufiyan Muqueem, Mohammad Rizwan (Captain &amp; WK), Arafat Minhas, Yasir Khan, Mohammad Haris, Saim Ayub, Usman Khan and Qasim Akram.</strong></p>

<p><strong>ENGLAND Tour of India 2025: </strong>After the conclusion of the iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, Team India is set to host England for a white-ball series. The first home assignment of 2025 for India will feature five T20Is and three ODIs. </p>
<p>India’s cricketing fortunes took a tumble in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with a 3-1 series defeat to Australia. After four years of Indian dominance, the Aussies finally broke through, reclaiming the trophy in emphatic style.</p>
<p>A lackluster performance from India’s batting lineup, coupled with a struggling skipper Rohit Sharma, left much to be desired. Jasprit Bumrah stood tall as the lone warrior in the bowling department, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.</p>
<p>Now, as 2025 kicks off, India has a golden opportunity to turn things around. The upcoming home series against England in January couldn’t have come at a better time. With the ICC Champions Trophy also on the horizon later this year, it’s crucial for India’s star players to regain their form and confidence. This England tour isn’t just another bilateral series; it’s a stepping stone to redemption and preparation for the global stage.</p>
<p>Looking back at the history between these two sides in the white-ball format, India holds a slight edge. Out of 107 ODIs, India has emerged victorious 58 times, while England has won 44. In T20Is, the battle is even closer, with India winning 13 of the 24 matches and England taking 11. With such a competitive rivalry, fans can expect fireworks as India aims to make a strong statement ahead of the Champions Trophy.</p>
<p>For the 2025 series, England have announced the Squad for their India tour while India were waiting for the BGT to be over. Let's take a look at the ENGLAND tour of INDIA 2025 Schedule, Full Squads, TIming, Venues and All You Need To Know!</p>
<h2><strong>ENGLAND Tour of INDIA 2025 Schedule</strong></h2>
<p>England and India are scheduled to play a five-match T20I series starting on 22 January at Eden Gardens. The two teams will then head to Chennai, Rajkot, Pune, and at last Mumbai for the last match of the series.</p>

<p><span>India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is all set to go past MS Dhoni in the elite list of Indian players in Test cricket. The left-hander is just 6 sixes away from surpassing former keeper-batter in the most number of sixes for the national team in the history of the longest format of the game.</span></p>
<p><span>Rishabh Pant currently has 72 sixes in Test cricket in just 75 innings, which says a lot about his calibre as a player in the longest format of the game. MS Dhoni, on the other hand, has hit 78 sixes in the 144 innings that he has played for the team in the longest format of the game.</span></p>
<p><span>Virender Sehwag sits at the top of the list in the most number of sixes for the Indian team in Tests with 90 maximums in 178 innings. Current captain Rohit Sharma is second on the charts with 88 maximums to his name from 116 innings.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<h2><strong>Most sixes for India in Test Cricket:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Sehwag - 90 (178 innings)</span></p>
<p><span>Rohit - 88 (116 innings)</span></p>
<p><span>Dhoni - 78 (144 innings)</span></p>
<p><span>Pant - 72* (75 innings)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rishabh Pant has been one of the finest batters in world cricket. The keeper-batter proved his prowess in the ongoing game against Australia, which is the fifth game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India batter has tilted the game for his team in the second innings.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>While every other bat struggled to get going, Rishabh Pant oozed his class with the bat and dominated the opposition. He played the attacking brand of cricket and put the Australian bowlers under pressure in what was a tough pitch to bat.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><strong><span class="Apple-converted-space">India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>Coming to the match, India made a strong comeback on Day two of the ongoing fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. They were right on the money with the bat and ball at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Saturday.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Australia, who resumed at nine for one, didn't have a great start to day two as Marnus Labuschagne fell early. Sam Konstas (23) and Steve Smith (33) tried to bring Australia back with their innings but their partnership could last only 20 runs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India kept taking wickets at regular wickets, but debutant Beau Webster (57)  slammed a half-century, and a vital hand from Alex Carey (21:36b, 4x4) took Australia to 181, four runs behind India.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India had a solid start to their second innings as  Yashasvi Jaiswal (22) and KL Rahul (13) added 42 runs for the opening stand. But after that, Australia made a strong comeback and picked wickets at regular intervals to reduce India to 78 for four.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>But it was Rishabh Pant (61) who slammed a half-century in a flash and took the game away as it allowed India to take the lead of over 120. At stumps on Day two, India was 141 for six with the lead of 145 runs and Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at crease. </span></p>

India, leading by 145 runs at the end of Day 2, has lost six wickets, leaving them in a tough spot. The outcome of the match could depend on whether India can stretch their lead further on Day 3. If they manage to add another 200 runs, they'll have a chance to secure victory, but it will require strong performances from their remaining batsmen.</p>
<p><strong>Results of the IND vs AUS Test Series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25)</strong><br>Australia has taken the lead in this series with two wins out of the five matches played. On the other hand, India has managed to secure one victory, with one match ending in a draw, adding to the overall unpredictability of the series.</p>
<p><strong>Potential for a Draw in this Test Series</strong><br>As the IND vs AUS series reaches its climax, the possibility of a draw remains a realistic outcome.

<p>England's former captain Michael Vaughan believes that fierce-rivals India and Pakistan should play a Test-Match versu each other in Australia. He believes that if this happens, then Test Cricket will witness a great surge of growth and this match will also increase the excitement of the longest format of the game. </p>
<p>However, Michael Vaughan admits that this is not easy due to political reasons between India and Pakistan, but this option can be considered. Apart from this, if the ICC gets involved in this matter, then there are chances of things working out.</p>
<h2>"<strong>I want Pakistan and India to play a Test-Match versus each other on Australian Soil"</strong></h2>
<p>In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Vaughan said, <strong>"I wish that both rivals Pakistan and India play Test-Matches versus each other on Australian soil. Both teams do square off against each other in the Asia Cup and the ICC Tournaments, but both of them haven't faced each other in red ball Cricket since a really long time. I want both of them face each other in the longest format of the game, but the only problem is that they cannot face each other in their home conditions. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Therefore, as a solution to the problem, they can play Test Cricket versus each other in Australia or England. If this happens, it will be one of the biggest moments of the game and they will surely receive support in huge numbers."</strong></p>
<p><strong>"Pakistan &amp; India playing Test-Matches versus each other is going to prove to be absolutely phenomenal for the longest format of the game. Although, I am aware about the amount of politics involved in this matter, I believe both the teams can consider playing Tests at the Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)," Vaughan added. </strong></p>
<p>It's worth noting that the Indian and Pakistani teams have not faced each other in the Test format for almost 18 years. The last Test series between the two teams was played in 2007-08, but since then the two teams have not faced each other in Tests.</p>
