ENGvsPAK: ECB announced new squad to face Pakistan following covid scare.



ENGvsPAK: A major covid outbreak in England?s senior men?s squad has forced England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to announce an entirely fresh squad that will face Pakistan in the limited-overs series.



Three days before the limited-overs series gets underway, as many as 7 individuals in the English camp tested covid positive which included three cricketers and four support staff members.



?Following RT PCR tests administered yesterday (Monday) in Bristol, The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) can confirm that seven members ? three players and four management team members ? of the England Men?s ODI party have tested positive for COVID-19,? the ECB said in a statement.

Ravindra Jadeja has been under the scanner for his below-par performances in the home series against New Zealand and then in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. As a result, there have been some questions over his place in the upcoming I<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/3-indian-stars-who-might-be-dropped-from-india-s-squad-for-the-icc-champions-trophy-2025/">CC Champions Trophy 2025</a>, which is all set to start next month.
Notably, the all-rounder has already retired from T20I along with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. Recently, India saw Ravichandran Ashwin retiring from international cricket, which saw the end of a successful spin combo for India along with Jadeja.
However, the emergence of young spinners and declining form raised some questions on Jadeja's future as well. And now, the all-rounder has come up with a cryptic message that has left his fans guessing about Jadeja's decision.
<h2>Ravindra Jadeja shares a cryptic post ahead of the squad announcement of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Team India are likely to announce their squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in the coming days. Jadeja is a key part of the Indian ODI setup because of his all-round ability. But with players like Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag, and Axar Patel, it has become difficult to make a place in the 15-member squad. Some media reports even confirmed that there will be a race between Sundar, Jadeja, and Axar for the spin all-rounder in the squad.
And if Ravindra Jadeja couldn't make a cut, we might not see him playing in ODIs again. Amid all these speculations, the allrounder shared a picture on his official Instagram handle. He shared the picture of his Test jersey, which made the fans on the internet curious. Many fans were guessing about the purpose of the post, while some of them even said that Jadeja has called his time.
Team India have been in transition under head coach Gautam Gambhir, who himself wants to make a strong base of players for the upcoming ODI World Cup in 2027. That is where Jadeja's post has spread like the fire in the woods. After losing the BGT series 1-3, India will be back in action in the home series against England, which will begin on January 22. Both teams will play five T20Is and three ODIs on this tour.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is one of the trending topics in the world of cricket. Amid all this, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has come under massive scanner, and various reports have claimed that the International Cricket Council (ICC) might move out of the tournament out of Pakistan. 
This is because Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are yet to complete the renovations of the three stadiums, which will be hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Three venues in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi will be hosting the games in the tournament while India games will be played in Dubai.
The renovations for the stadiums were scheduled to be completed by the end of December after it started on 10th January. However, with tournaments just around the world, the renovations of the stadium are far away from being complete, and hence, they have come under pressure. 
There were reports that the ICC has told The Pakistan Cricket Board that if the work on the stadium won't get completed by 12th February, then the entire tournament will be moved out of Pakistan. The reports claimed that ICC officials will be visiting Pakistan soon to monitor the progress and take the call. 
However, a source close to the PCB has made a dominating statement to silence all the criticism. He highlighted that the Board has spent a lot of money and said that they will be completing the renovation work in time. He told PTI:
"The PCB has spent nearly PKR 12 billion to upgrade our stadiums to make them fitting for an event like the Champions Trophy, which was awarded to us," 
"We gave the statement because our media also started flashing such speculative news without checking the facts. This would have caused chaos and confusion amongst the PCB, ICC, government, commercial partners and fans affecting the ticketing and marketing of the event,"  
<h2>There are people who are trying to tarnish Pakistan’s image on social media - PCB Source</h2>
In another news, IANS, a PCB source, stated that they will be completing the renovations by the first week of February and subtly took a dig at BCCI for tarnishing their image. He added:
"All the work (related to stadiums) will be done by the first week of February. Pakistan will successfully host the Champions Trophy. No need to go by any rumours. 
"We are committed to giving our best. There are people who are trying to tarnish Pakistan’s image on social media. We know who all they are and why they are doing this." 
The Champions Trophy will begin from 19th February in Karachi, and the final is all set to take place on 9th March.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower opened up about Virat Kohli taking over the captaincy of the team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He said that fans need to wait for the outcome as, so far, no communication has happened within the team. 
Virat Kohli has been in the news of late because there have been various reports that claimed that he might lead the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2025. This is because the franchise didn't bid for any player in the auction who would take over the leadership of the team. 
Royal Challengers Bengaluru were amongst one of the teams who had a successful campaign. They brought in some good players in the league, and it's fair to say with the kind of team they have, they will be one of the favourites to win the title next year. 
The reports have claimed that RCB might talk with Virat Kohli to take over the leadership. The batter stepped down as the leader of the team but it's fair to say that he was one of the best leaders of the team, having captained the team from 2013 as he led from the front. 
<h2>You can ask me as often as you like, but that communication has not happened yet - RCB head coach Andy Flower on Virat Kohli taking over leadership </h2>
RCB head coach Andy Flower said that it's an exciting period for the team as they will be entering the new cycle. He said that anticipation will be good for fans, but so far, there hasn't been any communication with Virat Kohli either. Speaking to the media, he explained: 
"Well, you're going to have to wait for the outcome. It's a new era that we are going into, the start of a three-year cycle, and I'm sure the anticipation will be good for you. You can ask me as often as you like, but that communication has not happened yet." 
Virat Kohli has been the best batter in the Indian Premier League. He is the only batter in the league with over 8000 runs to his name. It's fair to say that if he gets the leadership back, it might bring the best out of time.

Pakistan have suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Young opener Saim Ayub is all set to be ruled out of the tournament with an ankle injury. The batted faced the injury during the second Test of the series against South Africa. 
Saim Ayub twisted his ankle while fielding and then was taken for scans immediately after he failed to stand on his feet. The batter was ruled out of the match and then was sent to London by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to see a specialist doctor. 
The doctor provided an update that Saim Ayub had fractured his ankle. Not only this but he also advised the opening batter to take rest for 6 months to regain his full fitness. The batter will be further scans before returning home. 
With a specialist doctor advising Saim Ayub to rest for 6 months, this automatically rules out the batter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to kick start on 19th February; it is expected that the batter won't get fit by the time the tournament starts. 
<h2>Saim Ayub's absence will leave a massive void in the team for ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
This comes as a massive blow for Pakistan as Saim Ayub has been the best batter for the team of late. The young batter has proved his prowess for the team in all three formats for the game and with the kind of form that he was in, his absence will leave a massive void in the team. 
Saim Ayub was at his exceptional best during the ODI series against South Africa in the three-match series. The opening batter slammed two centuries in the series and was adjudged the Player of the Series for his heroics with the bat in the series. 
Although the Pakistan Cricket Board hasn't made any official confirmation, it is learned that they will be making a decision after further medical reviews and assessments. But with the way things have going, it's fair to say that he will be against time to be fit for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Over the years, India have produced some great bowlers, but an Indian pacer with an ability to clock 150 km/h or more is very rare. That is how Varun Aaron made his headlines when he touched 153 km/h in a final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2010-11 against Gujarat.
That made everyone notice his talent. Aaron has been blessed with extra pace and his ability to nip the ball. But with not much hope of playing cricket for the country, the 35-year-old has decided to put curtains on his career.
On Friday, January 11, Varun Aaron shocked everyone when he announced his retirement from all forms of competitive cricket. He revealed his decision with an emotional post on his official Instagram handle and showed his gratitude and thanked everyone that was part of his journey on and off the field.
<h2>Varon Aaron announces his retirement from all forms of cricket.</h2>
India have always been a country that has produced world-class spinners. But a pacer with the ability to bowl quickly has been very difficult to find. However, Varun Aaron, who hails from Jharkhand, was from a rare breed of Indian fast bowlers who used to bowl with rare pace. His career was shaped when he joined the MRF Pace Academy at the age of 15.
He has also represented India at the highest level and played nine tests and nine ODIs for the country. However, frequent injuries and inconsistency cut short his cricket career for Team India. Aaron made his Test debut in 2011 and played his first ODI in the same year. He took 18 wickets in tests and 11 in ODIs at the highest level.
He also played in the IPL between 2011 and 2022, representing five different franchises. Aaron was the regular member of his state team, Jharkhand. However, he already announced his retirement from first-class cricket in 2024. 
In his retirement post, Aaron mentioned, "For the past 20 years, I have lived, breathed, and thrived on the rush of bowling fast. Today, with immense gratitude, I officially announce my retirement from representative cricket.” The pacer played 66 FC games and took 173 wickets while he took 141 wickets in 88 List A matches.
