A decision on the Champions Trophy will be made soon

The Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan in February next year, but regardless of the schedule, the venue for this event has not yet been determined. While there is a chance that Pakistan could host the event, the chances of the entire tournament being held there are slim. The BCCI refused to send the team to Pakistan due to security reasons. Now the PCB is seriously stuck. It is believed that the Champions Trophy schedule can be announced on November 22, but the Pakistan Cricket Board remains an obstacle in this regard. Now it has been decided that the Indian team will not go to Pakistan, but the PCB’s efforts are that anyway the ICC should tell the BCCI that the Indian team should come to Pakistan.

Shahid Aslam has a big responsibility

Jason Gillespie has turned down an offer to become Pakistan’s all-match coach. Following this, the Pakistan Cricket Board handed over the interim coaching duties in limited rotation to national selector Ajib Javed.

Aslam has previously worked with the Pakistan team for many years as an assistant coach, fielding coach and assistant manager. He has been working as a coach at the High Performance Center in Lahore for the past two years. Before Shahid Aslam, former Test captain Mohammad Yousuf was the batting coach of the national team but he was later appointed as the national team selector.

8 players come to Australia to compete for the first time

Only a few days are left for the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The first match between the two teams will be played at Perth Stadium on November 22. But regular captain Rohit Sharma and young batsman Shubman Gill were unavailable for the first Test. Rohit has not been to Australia since the birth of his second child. Gill missed the first game due to injury. This adds to the crisis for the Indian team as both players have played in Australia and know the conditions there very well. The second biggest concern of the team management is that eight players in the Indian Test squad have never played a Test match against Australia before.

ICC condemns

Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, won the T20 series against South Africa 3-1. Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma and Varun Chakraborty performed well for India in the T20 series. It was because of these players that the Indian team managed to win the series. Tilak scored a total of 280 runs in the series, including two centuries, and won the Player of the Series award. India won the fourth T20 match by 135 runs. In this match, South African fast bowler Gerald Coetzee protested against the umpire’s decision. Following this, the ICC has now taken action against him. Gerald Coetzee has been criticized for protesting against an umpiring decision during a T20 international match.

Virat Kohli will create history in Perth

Virat Kohli has scored 2042 runs in 44 Test innings in 24 matches against Australia at an average of 47.48. During this period, he has scored 8 centuries and 5 half-centuries.

Kohli scored 33 runs in the first Test, leaving behind Cheteshwar Pujara, the highest scorer in Tests against Australia. Pujara has 2074 runs to his name in Tests against Australia. Not only that, after Pujara, Kohli will also have an excellent opportunity to retain the legendary Rahul Dravid.
