Babar Azam is back in the reckoning and this time it is his T20 strike rate that is in question. Simon Doull and Ameer Sohail got into a verbal argument, live on air while covering the Afghanistan VS Pakistan 3rd T20I. The point in question here was Babar Azam?s strike rate. His T20I strike rate hovers around 123. While the strike rate of other batters who are considered greatest in the T20 sport hovers around 145 to 150. Here is an in-depth look:?



<h2>Babar Azam?s T20 Strike Rate is a Point of Concern:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Babar-Azam-1.jpg" alt="Babar Azam" class="wp-image-101224" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">His strike rate can be another reason why he was not picked in the draft of "The Hundred".

Babar Azam, Pakistan?s T20I captain is back in the news. This time it is his strike rate in the T20 sport that has been bought up. In the recently concluded T20I series between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Babar Azam was not a part. The Pakistan Cricket team had the opening pair of Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris, as Babar was rested. But most cricket analysts say that the PCB must ensure that Babar bats at number 3 in T20Is. The number 3 position is like glue in the T20 format. It is a position where the batter can take his time and can bat at a strike rate of 125-130. ?



<h2>Simon Doull and Ameer Sohail Verbal Spat:&nbsp;</h2>



Simon Doull and Ameer Sohail got into a verbal argument live on air while covering the 1st innings of the 3rd T20I between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The argument was based on Babar Azam?s strike rate. Ameer Sohail said, ?I don?t care about the strike rate what I am looking for is the average. If I am looking at the best players in T20 cricket like Chris Gayle and AB De Villiers, what is the strike rate like 135, 130??. ?

IMG SRC: DNA</figcaption></figure>



To which Simon Doull strongly replied, ?No it?s 158 for Chirs Gayle and 150 for AB De Villiers. Sorry, it is 145 for AB De Villiers, what is Babar?s?? He further added, ?Babar Azam?is hands down the best #3 batsman in the world. He should not open for Pakistan. Saim and Haris should open with Rizwan in T20Is.??



<h2>Strike Rate of the Best Batters in T20Is:&nbsp;</h2>



Let us look at a comparison between some of the top-rated batters in T20 cricket. The following table consists of the average and strike rates as well. A great T20 batter has a 135+ strike rate and an average above 35 as claimed by Harsha Bhogle.?

Babar Azam?s T20 Strike Rate in Question. Simon Doull and Ameer Sohail Fight Live on Air.&nbsp;

babar-azams-t20-strike-rate-in-question-simon-doull-and-ameer-sohail-fight-live-on-air

Cricket has significantly changed over time and to a greater extent. The sport watched by the fans was played in white kits and even from a different angle during the 1960s and 1970s. However, it has undergone major modifications in a number of ways since then.



Although the emotions of the game were undoubtedly the same years ago, changes in the sport made it possible for the fans to appreciate it even more. There has been a drastic change in the era of&nbsp;Sunil Gavaskar&nbsp;and&nbsp;Sachin Tendulkar&nbsp;but it has always been a treat how gracefully the fans have embraced those changes in the game.



Today, we'll go over a few of the elements that have changed cricket and made it more engaging. Here they are:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#1 Colored Kits</h2>



There was a habit of seeing cricketers in white kits before the 1980s, however, the decision to bring coloured kits into the game was a spectacular call as the fans showed their love for this transformation.



The Indian cricket team donned the colored jersey for the first time at the 1985 Benson and Hedges World Championship of Cricket in Australia, where they won the championship by defeating Pakistan in the final. Ravi Shastri and the Indian bowlers undoubtedly put on some standout performances during that series, but the colorful kits added to its allure.



The first time that all the teams were spotted donning colorful kits was during the 1992 ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia. The cricket players and the spectators experienced something very different and the change was accepted by everyone bringing about a massive transformation in viewership of the sport across the world.



Cricket fans from all over the world now adore their team's jersey colors, and the teams have become well-known for their kits. Pakistan is well known for wearing green jerseys, whereas Team India has always worn blue kits. Cricket has undergone a significant transformation over time, going from having no sponsors in white kits to having many sponsors in coloured kits. In Test cricket today, sponsors can be seen on even the white kits.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#2 Safety Equipment</h2>



Imagine how difficult it was to bat without safety equipment like a helmet and abdominal guards during the early years of <a href="https://parimatch-in.com/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=PR_IPL&amp;utm_campaign=Evolution%20and%20Transformation_PR_News_Icccricketschedule">cricket</a>. Former players and pundits keep praising the fast bowlers of their era and how tough it was to face bowlers like Joel Garner, Andy Roberts, and Michael Holding.&nbsp;



There used to be only a couple of equipment like gloves and pads for the legends of that era. The concept of the helmet came in the 1970s and from then onwards, several pieces of equipment were made including arm guards and abdominal guards to keep the players safe while playing.



With safety equipment now available, it is a bit easier for the players to play unorthodox shots even though they are still not 100 per cent safe for the batsmen. Moreover, the game has now become more professional and batsmen practice a lot to play these surprising shots.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#3 Commercialization of Cricket</h2>



It is said that Australian television tycoon Kerry Packer commercialized cricket after realizing the sport's potential to generate revenue from television. He had a valid point, as the game broke all previous records for popularity over time.



Nowadays, there are many advertisements in sports, separate management for the teams, OTT platforms for the game, player-specific news, etc. Cricket has become more than just a sport and is heavily commercialized, but every day the boards try to find new ways to make it more captivating.



India got its first hero in the form of Gavaskar but Tendulkar made the sport like a religion in the country. Due to his splendid form and reputation all over the world, Sachin signed a billion-rupee deal with WorldTel which was the biggest ever in the history of cricket at that moment. One can even say that the sport takes a drastic change after that.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#4 Popularization of T20 Cricket</h2>



T20 International cricket first appeared in 2005, but it gained popularity when the first T20I World Cup was held in South Africa in 2007. There were concerns about the tournament's popularity after some well-known cricketers decided not to participate, but in the end, it won over everyone when India won the iconic trophy after defeating Pakistan in the final.



The shortest format has become so popular that one of the best cricket leagues in the world, IPL immediately took place in the following April in 2008 and it is still being loved all around the world.



Fans like the pace which the T20 cricket has given them as they get to witness sixes and fours on almost every delivery. It won?t be surprising if the format would replace ODI cricket or Test cricket permanently but that is quite debatable.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">#5 Decision Review System</h2>



Although the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_Review_System">DRS</a> was formally introduced in Test cricket in November 2008, it became mandatory in T20I matches in October 2017. It has gone through a plethora of changes to achieve its intended goal. Several factors like the number of reviews available per side, technologies used, and the umpire?s call have continuously changed across the 13-year old history of DRS.



When India toured Sri Lanka in 2008, they only had one successful review throughout the series and for a long time, they showed strong opposition to the system doubting its accuracy. They also refused to use DRS in their home test series in 2009 and stayed away whenever possible.



Over the years, there has always been support for and disagreement with this system, but the reality is that it is necessary in the fast-paced cricket of today. We have observed that when umpires make mistakes, the outcome of the game is affected.



The fairness of the decisions is restored to some extent with this review system, which is advantageous to both teams. DRS is still going strong in the leagues and international cricket these days and hopefully, it will be a permanent part of the sport.

Indian All-Rounder Shardul Thakur, Kedar Jadhav, Australian Skipper Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Harry Brook and Angelo Mathews have set a base price of 2 crore.

BBL Points Table 2023-2024 Latest Updated After Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers Match No. 19 | Big Bash League 2023-2024 Standing

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c5c9db6f5.jpg" alt="">
Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.
<img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt="">
Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad?
