Venue:&nbsp;Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad



Time:&nbsp;7:00 PM IST



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brian Lara Stadium Pitch Report:</h2>



The Brian Lara Stadium is a slow and low-scoring ground. The pitch tends to be more challenging for the batters in the second innings, as the ball tends to grip and turn more.



The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first and try to restrict the opposition to a low total. However, if the batsmen are able to spend some time in the middle overs, they can score runs on this pitch.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brian Lara Stadium Tarouba Trinidad Weather Forecast:</h2>



The weather forecast for August 1 in Trinidad is for a partly cloudy day with a chance of rain. The temperature is expected to be around 32 degrees Celsius with a humidity of 79%. There is a 50% chance of rain during the day and a 24% chance of rain at night.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs WI ODI Stats:</h2>



India and West Indies have played 141 ODIs against each other, with India winning 71, West Indies winning 64, and 4 matches being drawn. In recent years, India has had the upper hand in the ODI series between the two teams.



India has won the last 5 ODI series against West Indies. The 3rd ODI is a crucial match for both teams. India will be looking to win the series, whereas West Indies will be looking to win the series after a long time.



The match is expected to be a close contest, and the weather could be a factor. If the rain does come, it could disrupt the match and make it difficult for either team to score runs.

The entire cricket fraternity is on its feet with high levels of adrenaline rushing as the mega-auction for the IPL 2025 is creeping near. The reports from several renowned sports papers and sites have confirmed that the highly anticipated mega-auction will be held in Riyadh by the 24th or 25th of November. The teams went on to announce their retentions on the 31st of October, and while some retentions took them by surprise, there were also some players released, which seemed totally unreasonable. Franchises are all busy making their last-minute plans as every team looks to make key additions ahead of the upcoming IPL. In the upcoming mega-auction, there might be chances of some of the greatest players being left unsold due to the teams limiting their purse on key retentions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="top-5-released-players-who-might-go-unsold">Top 5 released players who might go unsold</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="matthew-wade">Matthew Wade </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Wade-IPL.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149234" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Matthew Wade IPL (Image: Gujarat Samachar)</figcaption></figure>



Wade recently retired from international cricket as well. Though he has been a domestic legend and a very crucial player for years in the BBL, Wade has never had a very impressive run in the IPL. In his career, he played in only 15 matches, where he scored 183 runs, averaging 13.07. Matthew Wade was part of the Gujarat Titans, and despite his weak performances, the Titans lifted the cup back in 2022. Titans released him, and he might go unsold this time in the auction. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="keshav-maharaj">Keshav Maharaj</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Keshav-Maharaj-IPL-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149235" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Maharaj IPL (Image Credit: IPL) </figcaption></figure>



Maharaj was featured for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2024, where the experienced spinner played his first two games in the IPL. His record, though, has been impressive in the shortest format, and Maharaj also has some quality batting ability. Despite all, the IPL would not look to have the services of as big a left-arm spinner, as India has many such players in the role. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="shai-hope">Shai Hope</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Shai-Hope-IPL.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-149236" style="width:691px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Shai Hope - Delhi Capitals (Image Credit: CricTracker)</figcaption></figure>



The Windies limited-overs skipper, Hope, has played several crucial innings for his national side. While the Delhi Capitals had included him with INR 75 crore, he was not much used in the services, and even he didn?t seem likely in form. Hope has been released by the Capitals, and despite many teams in need of wicketkeepers, it is not very likely to feature him any further for any franchise in the upcoming IPL. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="kane-williamson">Kane Williamson </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Kane-Williamson-IPL-1024x538.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149237" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kane Williamson is the foremost among the absentees (Image Credit: SportsMint Media)</figcaption></figure>



One of the biggest names on the list and one of the greatest players of the generation. The Kiwi star has had successful seasons with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrisers_Hyderabad">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> and also led them to a final in 2018. In 79 IPL games, he has scored 2128 runs with an average of 35.47. Williamson since 2022 has not featured in the IPL, despite being in the Gujarat Titans camp owing to his often injured status. Williamson will not look to fancy much chances of him into the upcoming mega-auction. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="ajinkya-rahane">Ajinkya Rahane</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/Rahane-IPL-1024x538.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149238" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ajinkya Rahane might finally end his IPL career (image Credit: Scroll.in)</figcaption></figure>



Another big name on the list, but probably age and form are what don?t make him an ideal choice for IPL anymore. Though Rahane had some great seasons with CSK, his form didn?t click last season. His high strike rate fancied his chances in the yellow jersey over the first season. Rahane, the great IPL veteran, might for the second time not be picked by any team in the mega-auction, which might also draw curtains to his career in the IPL.

Afghanistan Cricket Team, as well as Mumbai Indians, have faced a massive blow. Star spinner Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar has been ruled out of the ICC Champions 2025 as well as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to an injury. 
Allah Ghazanfar suffered a fracture in the L4 vertebra and will be out of action for four months. The spinner faced an injury while playing for the team during the Zimbabwe tour, and his injury surely would've disrupted the balance of both Afghanistan as well as the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. 
Allah Ghazanfar was picked by Mumbai Indians for Rs 4.80 crore in the IPL mega auction.  With the kind of talent and the skills that he brings with him, it's fair to say that he surely would've been in the playing XI for the franchise in the league right from the start. 
Allah Ghazanfar has played one Test and 11 ODIs for Afghanistan and has been decent for the team. The spinner also has played 19 T20 matches so far and has 30 wickets to his name. He also has been part of the Mumbai Indians in the ILT20 as he plays for MI Emirates in the league.

"He sustained the injury during Afghanistan’s recently held tour Zimbabwe, and will be sidelined for a minimum of four months and will remain under treatment during this period," ACB said in a release. 
With Allah Ghazanfar being ruled out, Mumbai Indians spin bowling will be heavily reliant on Mitchell Santner and Karn Sharma.

Australia captain Steve Smith has been having a great game as captain in the ongoing first ODI against Sri Lanka. The opening game of the two-match series between the teams is taking place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday (12th February) 
Steve Smith, who is known as one of the best fielders in the game, came up with another stunner in the ongoing game. The Australia skipper picked a blinder in the slips to send Sri Lanka batter Dunith Wellalage back into the hut and provide his team with a crucial breakthrough. 
During the last ball of the 26th over, Matthew Short bowled a delivery that got extra bounce on the length delivery outside off. Dunith Wellalage got forward to defend and the ball kissed the shoulder of the bat and went quickly towards the first slip, where Steve Smith was stationed. 
Steve Smith came with a magical effort as he took it with an outstretched right hand on the dive. His body momentum was going the other way, but he grabbed it with no fuss and got up, passing a smile to his teammates and ending Dunith Wellalage's innings on 30 runs. 
You can see the video at the end of the article: 
Steve Smith has been appointed as the captain of Australia for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well. This comes after both Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh were ruled out of the tournament due to the injuries and the batter was given responsibility to take the role. 
Steve Smith captained Australia in the Test series against Sri Lanka as well. Under his leadership, the team won the series by the margin of 2-0 and ended their long wait for a series win in Sri Lanka. He led from the front as he slammed centuries in both the games. 
Steve Smith also has been top-notch as a captain in the ongoing game against Sri Lanka. He has made brilliant changes as captain and also has been spot-on with his field placements. With the kind of performance they have put in, they look favourites to win the match.

India Cricket Team, on Tuesday (12th February), made massive changes to their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament with a back injury, which he faced during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and it no doubt will jolt India's chances. 
In place of Jasprit Bumrah,<a href="https://www.bcci.tv"> India</a> added Harshit Rana to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Kolkata Knight Riders pacer made his debut in the first game of the ongoing ODI series against England and so far looked decent in the first two games. 
Another massive change that India made in their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was to replace Yashasvi Jaiswal with Varun Chakravarthy.
