When my umpiring career first began, I used to hold my hands in front of me and every time there was an appeal, I would fold them against my ribs, said Koertzen.

Lisa Keightley To Stand Down As England Women's Cricket Coach
Lisa Keightley is to leave her role as coach of the England women's team at the end of the home season, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced on Tuesday. An ECB statement said the former Australia international, 50, had informed the board she would not be seeking a contract extension. Keightley has been in the role since January 2020. But on her watch England -- one of the best resourced women's teams in world cricket -- surrendered the 50-over World Cup title they had won on home soil five years ago with a crushing 71-run defeat by Australia, now the dominant force in the women's game, in this year's final in Christchurch. Australia also overwhelmed England 12-4 in the most recent multi-format Ashes series. Keightley took England to the semi-finals of the 2020 T20 World Cup. But only last week the team suffered the disappointment of missing out on a podium finish in the inaugural women's Commonwealth Games T20 competition, with the hosts narrowly defeated by India in the semi-finals before a heavy loss to New Zealand in the bronze medal play-off at Edgbaston. However, it is understood Keightley and the ECB came to an agreement prior to the Commonwealth Games. Keightley's last series in charge will be the visit of India in September, with her successor to be appointed ahead of the 2023 T20 World Cup in February. We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and passion Lisa has shown over the last two-and-a-half years in the role, director of England women's cricket Jonathan Finch said. Leading an international team is challenging at the best of times. It is more challenging during a pandemic, and Lisa has been able to continue the development of the team during what has been the toughest period we have faced off the field. Keightley has been the first England coach to benefit from professional contracts in domestic women's cricket, which were introduced in 2019 and have helped the likes of fast bowler Issy Wong and batter Alice Capsey earn international honours. ECB interim chief executive Clare Connor, herself a former England women's captain, added: I'd like to place on record our sincere thanks to Lisa for all her efforts across the last two-and-a-half years. Also Read: Scorecard Lisa was always a fierce opponent when she represented Australia, and she's brought that same pride, passion and will to win into everything she's done with the England Women's team.

However, in the meantime, veteran cricketer Ajay Jadeja has said a big thing about Dinesh Karthik. Ajay Jadeja said that Dinesh Karthik is not going to get a place in the Asia Cup playing XI and he should do commentary back.

Dinesh is a good commentator.'' Let me tell you that Dinesh Karthik is finding it difficult to make a place in the playing eleven. Because all-rounders like Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja are already present in the team, who also do good hitting. Pant is the main wicketkeeper of the team, so Karthik is difficult to get a chance. Squad: Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Yuswendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Australia opener Beth Mooney has recaptured the number one spot for batters in the ICC Women's T20I Player Rankings after losing it to her captain Meg Lanning two weeks ago. Mooney capped a fine run in the Commonwealth Games with a 41-ball 61 against India in the final to finish as the top run-scorer of the tournament with 179 runs. With scores of 70 not out against Pakistan and 36 against New Zealand this past week, she is now 18 points ahead of Lanning with 743 rating points.

Mooney's team-mate Tahlia McGrath has continued her meteoric rise. After 14 matches, she boasts a batting average of 93.75 and a bowling average of 13.66, which ensures her a top-five position with the bat for the first time and 12th place in the all-rounders list. India's Jemimah Rodrigues' return to form saw her score 146 runs in Birmingham, helping her gain seven spots and return into the top 10 batters for the first time since October 2021. England may have missed out on a medal, but their bowlers occupy the top three spots in the bowling rankings.

Sanjay Manjrekar: India's T20I Series Win Over Host West Indies Is A Big Achievement
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said Rohit Sharma's side defeating West Indies in their backyard was no mean achievement, adding that the visitors should be proud of what they have achieved in the Caribbean. India defeated West Indies 4-1 in the T20I series recently on the back of making a clean sweep of the three-match ODI series. Let's be nice to the West Indies. They're good people to hang with and stuff like that. Well, I think you know what's really nice to see is West Indies and T20 cricket are no minnows or rollovers. So, India's win and the way they've won in the five T20s is something to be proud of, Manjrekar said on Sports18's show 'Sports Over the Top'. The cricketer-turned-commentator was also in praise of the experiments India made over the course of the T20I series, saying they worked to perfection which is great going forward. The various permutations and combinations, India didn't play a single wrist spinner in the first three T20s and then they unloaded two wrist spinners in the last two. Opener Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan comes in. So they've tried everything and everything's worked. So, this is a great situation to be in and absolute taking no credit away from India from these wins because West Indies you know, you'll see in the T20 World Cup, they'll have some good performances against the other teams. So, well done to India, added Manjrekar. Manjrekar further spoke about the competition between Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan for a place in the T20 World Cup squad in Australia. There is actually a nice race going on for that flight to Australia to get that seat in business class. You know these guys travel business class. We used to be in economy, so I say that very sort of grudgingly. So, a race going on to clamour to get those seats on business class to Australia. And that's where I think you would have to say Arshdeep Singh has overtaken Avesh Khan. Avesh Khan is slightly behind there and that is something that's very interesting. Also Read: Scorecard You know this is a real competition going on for sports. Arshdeep Singh has certainly taken a little lead over Avesh Khan because he's doing exactly what Avesh Khan's role is -- to go with the new ball in the middle and in the death as well.
The Hundred 2022 tournament in currently ongoing in England, where on Monday (August 8th) evening, London Spirit and Manchester Originals clashed against each other. London Spirit managed to win this match by 52 runs, during which London Spirit bowler Mason Crane took an unbelievable catch which shocked one and all. Crane took an amazing catch to dismiss opposition captain Jos Buttler, and a video of the same is getting viral on social media now. England's top names are participating in The Hundred, and the fans are very excited about the ongoing dynamic tournament. Past Monday, English fans were hoping to witness a thrilling match as England's explosive opener Jos Buttler was about to come to bat, but these hopes were shattered as Mason Crane hung on to a jaw-dropping catch which forced Jos Buttler to walk back to the pavilion. This happened in the 13th over of the Manchester Original's inning. Jordan Thomson was bowling the over for London Spirit. Jos Buttler was batting on a meagre score of 6 runs off 10 balls, and the batter was naturally looking to go for a big shot. Captain Buttler tried to release the pressure and went for an aerial shot against Jordan Thomson. However, a miscued hit caused the ball to go up high in the air. After contacting Buttler's bat, the ball went in the air in the sky for 6 seconds, during which Mason Crane kept sprinting after the ball, keeping his eyes fixated on the ball. Mason knew that Buttler has the potential to carry Manchester Originals to a win on his own, and consequently Mason was under a lot of pressure. However, he didn't let himself get distracted and dived at the last moment to complete a fabulous catch. Mason Crane. Wow. #TheHundred | @masoncrane32 pic.twitter.com/Rycid40AsX The Hundred (@thehundred) August 9, 2022 Also Read: Scorecard While talking about the match, London Spirit opted to bat first after winning the toss, after which the Eoin Morgan-led team posted a total of 160 courtesy of Zak Crawley (41) and Kieron Pollard (34). For Manchester, Phil Salt (36) was the top scorer and the only player who scored more than 20 runs for the Originals as the team was bowled out for 108 runs in 98 balls, losing the match by 52 runs. .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced team India for the Asia Cup starting this month. Former India captain Virat Kohli and opener KL Rahul have returned to the Indian team after a long time. Rahul has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team. In such a situation, he is considered to play almost all the matches. At the same time, the team management still has full faith in Kohli. He can also get a chance in almost every match of the Asia Cup. Let us know that India's first match in the Asia Cup is against Pakistan on August 28. If both the batsmen get a chance against Pakistan, then it will be an international match for Rahul after 94 days and Kohli after 41 days. In such a situation, it is genuine to question whether it would be appropriate to field these players in this match without playing any practice match or any other series only on the basis of big names. The big thing in this is that Kohli has not been able to score any international half-century for the last five months and no century for two and a half years. He seems to be constantly struggling to score runs. At the same time, Rahul recently underwent surgery on his groin in Germany. He was then recuperating at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. On coming here, hewas hit by Corona. However, he is fine now. But fielding them directly in the big match against Pakistan can prove to be a big risk. Team India Squad forAsia Cup:- Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R.

New Delhi: Former West Indiescricket team captain Kieron Pollard on Monday became the first cricketer in the world to play 600 T20 matches. The hard-hitting batsman achieved this feat during the Manchester Originals vs London Spirits match of The Hundred Tournament played at Lord's. The career of a cricketer ends by scoring 600 runs in T20 cricket, but this Caribbean legend has played 600T20 matches.

Pakistani cricketer's controversial statement about MS Dhoni
New Delhi: Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's wicketkeeping has been praised by all the legendary cricketers of the world. Dhoni is considered to be the best cricketing brain player and with his cleverness behind the wicket, he has also won the Indian team many times. Dhoni has been called the best wicketkeeper not only in India but also in the world, but a statement by former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif is not liked by Indian cricket fans at all. Rashid has mentioned Dhoni's dropping percentage during his career. Rashid said on his YouTube channel, Dhoni was a wicketkeeper-batsman, it is true that Dhoni is a very big name, but if you look at his figures, his dropping percentage has been 21, which is very high. You can't measure my record in it, because this record has come after 2002-2003, by which time we had played.'' Talking about Adam Gilchrist, his dropping percentage was just 11. Mark Boucher was pretty good. Tim Paine had a great start, but by the end of his career, he missed many chances. Along with this, the Pakistani wicketkeeper also praised former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy and described him as the best wicketkeeper. At present, South Africa's Quinton de Kock is the best wicketkeeper according to Latif. He said If you look at the last 15 years, I think Quinton de Kock is the best.''

Devon Conway Impressed With Kiwi Youngsters After Performing In European Tour
New Zealand batter Devon Conway is enthused by the performance of some international rookies like Finn Allen, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell during the Black Caps' recent wins on the European tour against Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands and feels they could be in the mix when the squad is selected for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. The Black Caps' white-ball side won 11 matches across the two limited-overs formats on the Europe tour, and Conway, who was not part of the touring side, felt some of the players had shown tremendous potential to be considered for the global showpiece in October. We were watching the guys quite closely in the European tour and obviously they didn't lose a game, Conway said on SENZ Breakfast. There were quite a lot of players that really put their hands up and really played some really good cricket. It's good to see the depth improving and guys getting an opportunity to play. Conway felt the performance of the rookies would put pressure on the more established cricketers in the side, adding that the upcoming series against the West Indies will give them another opportunity to stake claim for the T20 World Cup berth. It's only my second year with the group but yeah, you certainly feel it (the pressure), Conway added. You've got the likes of Finn Allen stepping up and playing some really good cricket and you've got Michael Bracewell; seeing what he's done in the UK has been pretty special.

Asia Cup: Opportunity For Virat Kohli & KL Rahul To Regain Their Form Ahead Of T20I WC
The 15-member squad announced by the Indian cricket board for the Asia Cup in UAE from August 27 gives a clear indication of the team management's strategy for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia later this year -- that it wants batting stalwarts Virat Kohli and KL Rahul to regain their form and be in the side for the global showpiece event. Out-of-form batters Kohli and opener Rahul have made a comeback to T20Is through the 15-member squad for Asia Cup 2022 announced late on Monday. But pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will not be a part of the competition due to back injury. Harshal Patel also misses out due to a rib injury. The Asia Cup is of vital importance for Rohit Sharma and his side as India's performance in the previous edition of the T20 World Cup in the UAE last year was abysmal, to say the least. And with the 2022 edition of the event just two months away, India will look to ramp up its preparation for global event with a near full-strength side. The Asia Cup, where India will play their opening game against Pakistan on August 28, will be a big opportunity for key members -- Kohli and Rahul -- to spend some time in the middle. With questions being raised about Kohli's recent form and his utility in the T20I setup, a good showing in the Asia Cup will put the debate to rest. Kohli also has been short of T20I match practice since the 2021 World Cup, playing just four games -- two against the West Indies at home and two against England. The squad also marks the return of KL Rahul, who has been out of action since the IPL. The opener underwent a sports hernia surgery and was set to return during the T20I series against West Indies. But a positive COVID-19 test further delayed his return, according to ICC. Also Read: Scorecard The Asia Cup will present a great opportunity for the two batting stalwarts to regain their groove.
South Africa Set To Play A Warm-Up Game Against Lions Ahead Of England Test Series
The Proteas will formally begin their preparations for the first Test against England next week when they play a four-day tour match against the Lions starting here later on Tuesday. The players travelled from Bristol to Canterbury over the weekend to begin their red-ball preparations following a highly successful trip thus far. They drew their rain-affected ODI series 1-1 against the hosts, who they then beat 2-1 in a three-match T20I fixture. That was followed by a 2-0 win over Ireland in their two-game T20I series. Speaking ahead of the warm-up match, Test captain Dean Elgar said that having players join the squad that were part of those limited-overs games was a big positive for the team. They've got a lot of confidence coming into the set-up and it's almost like a breath of fresh air with these guys coming, he told the media on Monday. Knowing they've done so well in the last month playing here, that's great for us. It gives us good resources, many options and info we can use to best prepare going into the series. Many of the players in the Test squad also have strong experience playing county cricket in England. Elgar believes this too will benefit South Africa immensely. I think those options are brilliant for us, he said. I think we're ticking the boxes in the right nature, having guys play country cricket here now and doing pretty well in those games they've played. It's a massive asset for us going into this Test series just from an experience of the conditions point of view. Elgar also provided an injury update regarding Kagiso Rabada, who did not feature in their most recent white-ball matches due to an ankle problem. He (Rabada) has bowled since we started our camp in Canterbury. Obviously with regard to the workload, I think that's the biggest concern whether he can carry himself through a Test match with the intensity and the volume of overs in a day's play. For now he's doing all the right things. I can't say yes or no as yet, but there still are eight or nine days before the first Test and he's high on our list to get him fit and giving us more options for the series. While Rabada is on the mend, the Proteas have been significantly bolstered by the return to the Test squad of Anrich Nortje. The paceman played the last of his 12 Tests against West Indies more than a year ago. It's great to have Ana (Nortje) back, Elgar added. He's gone amiss a bit with his injuries over the last year. The way he's bowling in the nets and the way he's bowled in the white-ball game now is big for us. He brings a whole different aspect of pace to the table and in the UK if you have those kinds of assets, you need to use them.

Srikkanth Unhappy With The Exclusion Of Axar & Shami From Indian Asia Cup Squad
Former India skipper and ex-chairman of BCCI's selection committee Kris Srikkanth is unhappy with Axar Patel being kept as a standby in the squad for the Asia Cup in the UAE from August 27, saying he feels bad for the bowling all-rounder who played some fine knocks and took crucial wickets in the visitors' clean sweep of the ODI series against the West Indies recently. Axar's exclusion from the 15-member squad apart, Srikkanth felt the side, which was announced late on Monday, was pretty good, although pacer Mohammed Shami should also have been in the mix. I think the squad is pretty good but I think we would need one more medium pacer. We are going with one medium pacer short. Two wrist spinners are fine. I feel bad for Axar Patel, who has missed out. I am very happy for Deepak Hooda -- he can bowl a bit, he's a good hitter and he's a good striker of the ball, said Srikkanth on Star Sports' show Follow the Blues. What I like about Deepak Hooda is that he's a good striker of the ball, he's a flirter. Otherwise, this squad is a fantastic squad; only feel bad for Axar Patel. I still believe that he's a good bowling all-rounder, may be in Australia conditions. I am not going for just the Asia Cup, but yes, this must be a blue print for the ICC T20 World Cup also. Srikkanth also felt pace-bowling stalwart Mohammed Shami should have been part of the squad for the Asia Cup. In my team, Shami was literally there. If I was the chairman of the selection committee, I think Shami would have been there and probably, I would not have gone with Ravi Bishnoi. But I still believe that Axar Patel was a serious contender in my team. It would have been a big toss-up between Axar Patel and Ashwin. Former India wicketkeeper and ex-chief selector Kiran More felt the Asia Cup had presented Virat Kohli with a great opportunity to get back into form ahead of the T20 World Cup. This will definitely be special for Virat Kohli since he now needs to make a comeback; it's been too many innings. The other batsmen also have been performing really well. Overall, the squad looks good, well balanced. There are good all-rounders too -- R Ashwin has been batting well. Definitely, Axar Patel has been performing well through the year too. I like the team combination and I was really happy with Ravi Bishnoi's selection. It brought a variation to the team. According to me, this is a good team. Also Read: Scorecard I'm also happy for Arshdeep Singh. He has been performing well in the IPL, against West Indies, where he was the Player of the Series and bowled well. We were in search of a left-arm bowler, who we have found in Arshdeep Singh.

Asia Cup Could Be An Opportunity For Hooda, Arshdeep, Avesh & Bishnoi To Claim Spot For T20I WC
The Asia Cup 2022 to be played in the United Arab Emirates from August 27 could be the final opportunity for a lot of youngsters, including Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan, to prove their mettle and stake claim for the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. The Indian cricket board on Monday announced a 15-member squad for the Asia Cup with stalwarts such as Virat Kohli and opener KL Rahul making a comeback even as pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel have missed out due to back and rib injury, respectively. It has given an opportunity to the likes of Arshdeep, Avesh, Ravi Bishnoi and Deepak Hooda to showcase their skills in the continental tournament and make a strong case for their inclusion in the T20 World Cup in October-November this year. All four cricketers have made an impact in the shortest format, after making their debuts post the 2021 T20 World Cup debacle in the UAE. While tweaker Bishnoi has impressed with his variations, taking 15 wickets in nine matches at an economy of 7.15 in the shortest format, his mastery of the googly has left many batters in a tizzy. The lanky Arshdeep Singh made his debut during the tour of England, and in a short career of six matches, has left a huge impression, especially in the recently concluded series against the West Indies. He has picked up 15 wickets, going at an economy of 6.33 and bowling some outstanding yorkers. Avesh Khan's ability to extract pace and bounce in the West Indies has seen him being given an opportunity during the Asia Cup, which will allow him to stake another claim for a place in the World Cup squad. He has picked up 11 wickets from 13 matches, going at an economy rate of 8.67, according to ICC. As for Hooda, his aggressive intent and versatility has seen him beat off competition from Shreyas Iyer. The 27-year-old has played nine T20Is, scoring 274 runs at an average of 54.80 and a brilliant strike rate of 161.17, with one memorable century against Ireland. His handy off-spinners have also worked in his favour and will give the team an additional bowling option. A good Asia Cup for the quartet and they could well be eyeing berths for the World Cup in Australia. The Asia Cup will be played in the UAE from August 27 to September 11. The 15th edition of the tournament will be played between six teams, including a qualifier team. India enter the competition as defending champions and are also the most successful team, having won the trophy seven times. They opened their title defence against Pakistan on August 28. Also Read: Scorecard While the last edition of the tournament was held in an ODI format, this edition will be played in T20 format due to 2022 being a T20 World Cup year. India are in Group A alongside Pakistan and a qualifying team while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan form Group B.
