Mohammad Amir gets Irish visa, set to join Pakistan side ahead of second T20I

Pakistan cricket authorities heaved a sigh of relief on Thursday after the Irish consulate issued visa to Mohammad Amir who is likely to join the team before the second T20I in Dublin on May 12. Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir(AFP) The first of the three T20Is will be played on Friday at the Clontaff ground. A PCB source said the board has been notified about Amir’s visa clearance and they are making travel arrangements for the left-arm pacer. Amir is currently in Lahore while the rest of the squad left on Tuesday (May 7) for Dublin for the series. After days of deadlock, the breakthrough eventually came after discussions between the Pakistan Cricket Board and Cricket Ireland over the delay in issuing visa to Amir. The PCB was not given any particular reason for the delay in issuing the visa to Amir by the Irish consulate. But the source said the delay occurred because of a technical ground, which has now been resolved. “Obviously, the PCB was unhappy with the visa delay as it affects the team management plans for the (T20) World Cup and also has a bearing on the affected player who has returned from retirement to international cricket after four years,” the source said. After the series against Ireland, Pakistan will move to England for four T20Is starting from May 22 at Leeds. Interestingly, Amir was readily issued a visa to play in Ireland’s inaugural Test match against Pakistan back in 2018.

IPL 2024: Why Rohit Sharma played as an impact sub in Mumbai Indians-Kolkata Knight Riders clash | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Leg-spinner Piyush Chawla stated that India captain and Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma was compelled to play as an impact substitute in the IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders because of a “mild back stiffness”.IPL ORANGE CAP | IPL PURPLE CAP | IPL POINTS TABLETheir 24-run defeat against KKR, in which Rohit was an impact substitute, saw him score just 11 runs in 12 balls in the second innings. This loss almost saw the five-time winners eliminated from the IPL this year.“He just had a mild back stiffness so it was just a precautionary thing,” Chawla told the media after the match here at the Wankhede Stadium.Mumbai’s eighth loss in 11 games has put an end to the Hardik Pandya-led team, and Chawla also acknowledged that their only remaining motivation is “pride”. “For the pride and the reputation, because sometimes when you enter on the field, you don’t think whether you are going to qualify or you are not going to qualify,” he said.“You have to play for your name and that’s what we are playing for,” he added.MI’s lack of momentum throughout this IPL season, according to Chawla, is the cause of their subpar play.“You must have often heard about that T20 is all about momentum and just that we didn’t get that momentum going this season and it can happen to any team,” he said. “It’s not like it’s happening to us for the first time or any other team for the second time. It can happen to anyone and it’s just that that momentum was not our way.”On Friday, the 35-year-old Chawla overtook Dwayne Bravo to claim 184 wickets, becoming him the second-highest wicket-taker in the IPL.“It has been a beautiful journey because IPL started 17 years back and at that time nobody gave that much preference to the spinners, but now if you see that in top few wicket takers in India, especially all the spinners, Ashwin, Yuzhi, myself (are there), so it’s a good feeling,” he said. In addition, Chawla commended Manish Pandey for his performance in his first game of the season despite being under pressure. As KKR scored 169 all out in 19.5 overs, Pandey (42) and Venkatesh Iyer (70) shared 83 runs for the sixth wicket.“It was a good partnership and credit has to go to them because they batted beautifully. Well, T20 is something in which experience plays a big role, (which is) what we saw today.“When Manish walked in, maybe if somebody walks in who must have played few games, he would have panicked that runs are not coming.“But he read the situation and the way he handled the situation because if you see in starting, he was hardly going at run a ball. But later on, he knew that he has to stand there with Venky.” (With PTI inputs)

End Of IPL Campaign For India's 156.7 Kmph Pace Star Mayank Yadav? Report Claims...

End Of IPL Campaign For India’s 156.7 Kmph Pace Star Mayank Yadav? Report Claims…

File photo of Mayank Yadav© AFP Pace sensation Mayank Yadav’s participation in the remainder of the IPL round-robin stage seems doubtful after he sustained a suspected abdominal muscle “tear” during the game against Mumbai Indians, making it his second injury breakdown in past four weeks. However, there is a silver lining for the 21-year-old Delhi man as he is all set to be given a pace bowling contract by the BCCI alongside Umran Malik, Vidwath Kaverappa, Vyshak Vijaykumar, Yash Dayal and Akash Deep. The contract will place Mayank under the supervision of NCA’s Sports Science and Medical team, who will take charge of his injury management and fitness programme from his IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants. “Mayank has a tear but it is more likely a grade 1 tear. It will be cutting it fine but in case LSG qualifies for the play-offs, he might just be able to play the knock-out games. But it is like hoping against hope and right now he is doubtful for the remaining IPL games,” a BCCI source informed PTI on condition of anonymity. Mayank, who burst into the scene with 155 click deliveries and back-to-back ‘Player of the Match’ awards at the start of the IPL, broke down in the third match and was ruled out for four weeks. He made a comeback against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday after passing fitness tests but was forced back into the dugout after bowling 3.1 overs in which he gave away 31 runs. Had Mayank been fit all this while, there was a possibility of him being a left-field selection in the T20 World Cup but right now, handling him with care is the primary job of the Indian cricket establishment. “He will soon be handed a pace bowling contract and once he is in BCCI Pathways structure, his growth will be systematically monitored. “The national selection committee and the Indian team management would like to gradually blood him and ensure that he can maintain peak fitness,” the BCCI source added.

AUSW vs PAKW Match Prediction & Analysis The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup’s Group A has given fans some breathtaking results. With India Women losing against New Zealand, the second position is up for grabs for all teams. But the first position is almost fixed for the current champions, Australia Women. They will face Pakistan Women at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, on 12th October from 7:30 pm onwards. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview With back-to-back wins, it looks like a cakewalk for Australian Women against Pakistan. Beth Mooney will open the innings with Alyssa Healy. Mooney has 83 runs in the first two games. In the last 10 T20Is, she has scored 272 runs. She also has 263 runs in 7 innings against Pakistan Women at a strike rate of 130.84. She will be the batter to watch out for. Healy averages 46.33 against Pakistan at a strike rate of 133.65. Ellyse Perry will come at number three. Perry scored 17 in the first game followed by 30 in the second.  Pakistan Preview Pakistan Women are in a dilemma after losing the second game. They will have high expectations from the openers Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali. Feroza has 281 runs this year at a strike rate of just above 100. She has hit two half-centuries – the highest among the Pakistani batters. She will be the batter to watch out for. Ali has scored 38 runs in the first two games. Sidra Amin will come at number three. Though Amin is one of the only two batters to have scored more than 300 runs this year, her strike rate of 95.37 is a bit of concern. Weather Conditions The weather will be dry with no chance of rain. The temperatures will be between 29°C and 38°C. Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, is renowned for having a batting-friendly surface that is beneficial to batters. Its neutral playing surface, strong pace, and bounce make it an excellent place for early wickets.  AUSW vs PAKW Pitch Report The game will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on 12th October from 7:30 pm onwards.

Josh Little has taken five wickets in the series so far and the pacer is our pick to be Ireland’s top wicket taker in the third T20I.Rashid Khan has been the top bowler across the opening matches of the series and we recommend selecting him to take over 1.5 wickets in this game.

The final game of the series gets underway at 20:00 local time in Sharjah. Afghanistan had only three batters contributing double-figure scores in the second T20I but their bowlers produced an exceptional performance. If the batters can put together some strong partnerships in this game then they should have enough to take the series. Ireland were chasing only 153 to win on Sunday and were on track at the start of the sixth over with no wickets down.

Jasprit Bumrah took the Player of the Match Award in the second Test and the pace bowler is well worth backing as India’s top wicket taker in this game.Zak Crawley struck over 70 in both innings in Vizag and the right-handed opener is a strong choice for England’s highest run scorer in this Test. James Anderson took five wickets in Vizag and the 41 year old still looks as accurate as ever. He is our tip for England’s top wicket taker in this game.Jasprit Bumrah was the standout bowler for India in Vizag and we recommend choosing him to take over 1.5 wickets in the first innings of this Test. India vs England TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. IND vs ENG 3rd Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips With the Test series well poised at 1-1 with three further games to go, India and England lock horns once again in the third Test in Rajkot. India took the opening game of the series by 28 runs before India triumphed by 106 runs in the last fixture. Read on as we preview this Test. The game begins at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium at 09:30 local time on Thursday 15th February. India produced quality with the bat when it mattered in the second Test of the series and, although they will still not be at full strength for this game, we expect their experience in home conditions to be crucial. India will once again be expecting to get a win in this Test. England left themselves with too much of a mountain to climb in the second half of the Test in Vizag after facing a first innings deficit of 143 runs. They will certainly be competitive again in this game and will take the attack to India but they must produce more runs in the first innings. IND vs ENG Match Toss PredictionThe best time to bat in Rajkot is always over the first two and a half days so we predict that both teams will want to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this Test. IND vs ENG Pitch ReportThere is a bit of a green covering over the pitch but we do not expect it to last much beyond the first session. The pitch will then dry out and a par score in the first innings will be at least 450. Rajkot Weather ReportAccording to the forecast, the temperature will increase across the five days of the match and be over 30 degrees on each day. No rain is forecast on all five days.

Why Team India's T20 World Cup jersey has only one star? Know here – India TV

Why Team India’s T20 World Cup jersey has only one star? Know here

Image Source : X India’s jersey for T20 World Cup 2024. The jersey of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 has been launched. The Men in Blue will be donning new gear for the global tournament that will start on June 1 in the USA and West Indies.  The jersey is a lot different than the kit for the previous 20-over World Cup in Australia. The new jersey has a combination of blue and orange colors. While the traditional blue is at the front, orange features on the shoulders with Adidas (kit sponsor) stripes on it. But the jersey has only one star instead of the three usually seen on India’s limited-overs jerseys. Here’s why India’s T20 WC jersey has one star! The stars on India’s jerseys represent the World Cup titles won by the Men in Blue across ODI and T20 formats. While in the limited-overs jersey has three stars, the kit for the T20 World Cup has only one star on it. This is because India have won only one T20 World Cup – way back in 2007 – and have never won it again. That one star is a representation of that trophy. The number of stars represents the number of titles won by the Indian team. Similarly for the ODI World Cup, the Men in Blue have two stars to mark India’s 1983 and 2011 ODI World Cup wins.
