Reward Sooryavanshi With T20I Cap, He's Ticked All The Boxes: Gandhi
India T20I: Former India cricketer and national selector Devang Gandhi said teenaged left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has to be rewarded with an India T20I cap, adding that he has ticked all boxes and could even one day terrorise Test match bowlers as well. Sooryavanshi, who was the Player of the Tournament in India winning the 2026 U19 Mens Cricket World Cup, is poised to become the youngest cricketer in an India mens squad since Sachin Tendulkars debut in 1989. He had an outstanding time while playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, where he amassed 776 runs at a staggering strike rate of 237.30. Sooryavanshi, 15, will next turn out for India A in the 50-over triseries against Afghanistan A and hosts Sri Lanka A from June 9 to 21 in Dambulla. I think the way to handle him is reward him with an India cap because the way he's performed in the last two years - he's hitting all the top bowlers of the world. In the first year, a lot of people said that was the first year. But look at the way he's hitting. He's hitting in front, right? He's playing all authentic shots. What was heartening for me to see is that if you remember his last two knocks, he got 27-ball 94 (97). In the last game, in Qualifier 2 where RR lost, he got 90-odd (96). But in different circumstances, right? There were wickets falling from the other end. He was rotating the strike. So, if required, he can shift gears, which is more alarming for world cricket, right? Gandhi said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Friday. Looking ahead, Gandhi believes Sooryavanshi's further development as a cricketer would require exposure to the 50-over and red-ball formats through India A set-up, while focus should also be on improving his fielding. A boy who is so mature that he can even take singles, play the situation, yet maintain a strike rate of 200-plus, right? So, for me, he has ticked all the boxes. One aspect which he can still work on is his fielding because we haven't seen him field a lot during IPLs, right? But also going ahead for his holistic development as a cricketer, I'm sure there will be plans to make him play more of India A games as well, whether it is the 50-over format or the red-ball. A player of that calibre, that talent definitely needs to be groomed, counselled, so that we can see him more. Can you imagine him playing Test matches with the same authority? Not exactly like that. But even half of it, it'll be such a delight to watch him playing Test cricket, he said. At the same time, Gandhi allowed himself to dream of what Sooryavanshi could do in Test cricket. It will be the bowlers who will be having heart attacks, right? They must be wondering how to stop this boy. I mean, he is absolutely marvellous. I mean, I am running out of superlatives to describe such a young boy. He is taking all the bowlers to the cleaners, basically, whether it is spinners, fast bowlers and the authority with which he is batting is really pleasing to me. As I said, we are running out of adjectives, superlatives, and ways to describe him. But he is simply mind-boggling. Apart from Sooryavanshi, Rajat Patidar will also be in huge focus after being the driving force behind Royal Challengers Bengalurus successful defence of their IPL crown as both captain and batter. But with Shreyas Iyer in equally good form, how the selectors could accommodate Patidar remains to be seen. He is taking all the bowlers to the cleaners, basically, whether it is spinners, fast bowlers and the authority with which he is batting is really pleasing to me. As I said, we are running out of adjectives, superlatives, and ways to describe him. But he is simply mind-boggling. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think selectors will definitely reward him with a place in the squad. I don't know whether he'll feature in the playing XI or not, but I think definitely on the basis of his performance, he definitely deserves a spot, added Gandhi. Article Source: IANS

Removing Suryakumar Yadav As T20I Captain At This Stage May Not Be Right, Says MSK Prasad
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India wicketkeeper and chief selector MSK Prasad on Thursday cautioned against removing Suryakumar Yadav as captain of the mens T20I side, saying such a move at this stage would not be the right one and that selectors should instead look to groom younger leaders from now onwards. Despite a few halfcenturies in the bilateral series against New Zealand earlier this year and a matchwinning knock in the T20 World Cup opening game against the USA, consistency has eluded Suryakumar. After India won the T20 World Cup under his leadership, Suryakumars form dipped further in IPL 2026, where he managed only 270 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 147.54, with just two fifties. With Indias selectors set to meet in Mumbai on Saturday for selecting squads for the two games against Ireland, to be played on June 26 and 28, followed by five T20Is in England from July 1 to 11, apart from picking India A squad for the two red-ball games against Sri Lanka A, Suryakumars future as the T20I captain will be a hot topic of discussion. See, are you sending your first team or are you sending your second level? That's the biggest concern. So, if they are sending the first team, I think overlooking Surya is not the right thing to do because he just handed over one more Mens T20 World Cup to us. So, ideally, probably next 56 months or now you have to get ready with your next leaders, right? Axar Patel was your vicecaptain till the T20 World Cup win. Ideally, if you look at it, you have to look forward to the younger leaders. So, if you can identify such leaders and make a deputy to Surya, it will be nice to see. Surya is a phenomenal player, Prasad told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Thursday. Prasad admitted that Suryakumar has endured a lean patch but urged patience towards him. I know that he has gone through a rough patch in the last 11.5 years. Of course, we have other players like Rajat Patidar coming up, and they also deserve their places. So, what I would like to say is that, removing Surya at this stage, I think, is not the right signal. Give him a couple of series, and if his lean patch continues, then you have a deputy to whom you can hand over the captaincy baton. On possible successors of Suryakumar like Shreyas Iyer, the ODI vice-captain, and Hardik Pandya, apart from Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Tilak Varma in the mix, Prasad said, See, Hardik is one potential candidate. Then, Shreyas is another potential candidate, too. People like Ishan Kishan, Tilak Verma, and Sanju Samson are also in line. See, Sanju has led RR for quite some time. Ishan has led recently, and he showed glimpses of class in his captaincy. Tilak Verma is a potential guy. We think that Tilak Verma is the guy and the answer for the next few years for Indian cricket in T20 formats. So, he is not a bad choice, too. Rajat Patidar (who led RCB to back-to-back IPL titles) is also one of those. I don't know whether its from a captaincy point of view, but he is definitely a guy who should be looked into. So, you have enough ammunition with you. But are you sending your first eleven or are you sending your, maybe, probably the second eleven? Shreyas, the frontrunner to succeed Suryakumar, comes with proven captaincy credentials - having led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title in 2024 and guiding Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to the finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. Kishan captained Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pat Cummins absence during IPL 2026 after earlier leading Jharkhand to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph. Varma, meanwhile, has been a regular leader for India A in whiteball cricket and is set to captain them in the upcoming 50over triseries in Sri Lanka starting June 9. Samson has previously led Rajasthan Royals to the runnersup spot in IPL 2022 and was adjudged Player of the Tournament in Indias T20 World Cup win. Pandya, who has captained India in Rohit Sharmas absence, also guided the Gujarat Titans to the IPL crown in 2022, though his leadership stint with the Mumbai Indians has not been that memorable. Prasad further suggested giving some players a break who featured in both the World Cup and IPL for the trips to Ireland and England. If you see, after the World Cup, all the players who played in the World Cup looked jaded and exhausted in the IPL. So, why don't you give a break to all those World Cup players and give opportunities to those who have performed in this IPL? So, in that way, you hand over that baton to Shreyas Iyer or XYZ and whoever is seen as a future leader. I think Shreyas is definitely a potential guy. So, you make and send them to Ireland because I am sure that they can beat Ireland. So, give a break to them because this IPL has been a very, very hot summer, and immediately after the World Cup. Prasad further suggested giving some players a break who featured in both the World Cup and IPL for the trips to Ireland and England. If you see, after the World Cup, all the players who played in the World Cup looked jaded and exhausted in the IPL. So, why don't you give a break to all those World Cup players and give opportunities to those who have performed in this IPL?

Ranks ahead of Kerala, Odisha, West Bengal Ovaise Gul Srinagar, Jun 03: Jammu and Kashmir possesses an estimated 27.55 million tonnes of lignite resources, reveals a report compiled by the Ministry of Coal, Government of India. According to the report, released by the Ministry of Coal, the latest inventory of Geological Resources of IndianCoal, indicating J&Kslignite reserves comprise 20.25 million tonnes under the indicated category and 7.30 million tonnes under inferred resources, while no measured reserves have been reported in the Union Territory.

Indias total lignite resources have been estimated at 47,370.54 million tonnes. Tamil Nadu accounts for the largest share with 37,523.65 million tonnes, followed by Rajasthan with 6,661.17 million tonnes and Gujarat with 2,722.05 million tonnes.

'Players like Jofra might not play for England if ... ': Stokes reacts to Archer's criticism
England captain Ben Stokes has defended Jofra Archer after criticism over the fast bowler missing the first Test against New Zealand following his IPL stint with Rajasthan Royals. Stokes said modern cricket offers players more opportunities than before and insisted Archer remains committed to England. He also warned that mishandling such situations could risk losing talented players from international cricket.
Stokes Backs Archer Break, Warns England Could Lose Star Pacer If Situation Is Mishandled
Indian Premier League: England captain Ben Stokes has supported the decision to rest fast bowler Jofra Archer for the opening Test against New Zealand at Lord's. He warned that a different approach could drive players away from international cricket. Archer, who played 16 matches for Rajasthan Royals during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season as the team reached the playoffs, was omitted from England's squad for the first match. Head coach Brendon McCullum has also indicated that the 31-year-old might miss the second Test. This decision has faced criticism following England's Ashes defeat in Australia, but Stokes urged people to consider the realities of modern cricket. I know it has been discussed over the past couple of weeks. I completely understand people's frustrations, but there is another side to this, Stokes told reporters on Wednesday. The England captain explained that the changing landscape of the sport has created opportunities that did not exist for players in previous generations. A lot of this has to do with where cricket is right now. There are opportunities for cricketers now that werent available 10 or 20 years ago. Stokes warned that mishandling this situation could have long-term effects on English cricket. If handled poorly, it could get messy, and players like Jofra might not play for England again. That would not be good for anyone. In earlier years, England players typically left their IPL teams before the tournament ended to meet international commitments. However, Archer stayed with the Rajasthan Royals during their playoff campaign and then took a break after a busy period. England starts the New Zealand series under pressure after a disappointing Ashes campaign in Australia, where their aggressive tactics came under fire. Former captain Michael Vaughan was among those suggesting the team should return to basics. Stokes, however, emphasised that outside criticism would not change England's strategy. There has been a lot said for a long time. But what I say doesnt really matter, he said.

Absolutely Ludicrous': Simon Doull Slams Archer's England Absence Ahead Of New Zealand Tests
Sky Sports Cricket Podcast: Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull has launched a scathing attack on the absence of Jofra Archer from England's squad for the first Test against New Zealand, describing the situation as absolutely ludicrous and questioning the pacer's commitment to red-ball cricket. Archer, who continued playing for Rajasthan Royals during the IPL playoffs, was not included in England's squad for the series opener at Lord's. England coach Brendon McCullum has also indicated that the fast bowler may not be ready for the second Test, further fuelling debate over the management of one of England's premier quicks. Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Doull criticised both Archer and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for allowing the situation to unfold. It's ludicrous. Absolutely ludicrous. How are you paying this guy up to a 1m per year and he's not available for your first Test match? It is absolutely ludicrous. Doull pointed to New Zealand's handling of similar situations in the past, recalling how their leading fast bowlers balanced IPL commitments with Test preparation. The last time that New Zealand came here... Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Matt Henry were all practising in between games in the IPL with a red ball and getting through overs and overs and overs so that they were ready to go when they arrived. Although New Zealand lost that series 3-0, Doull argued that preparation was never the issue. I think they arrived five days before the first Test after the IPL and that previous tour. OK, it didn't work out. New Zealand lost the series 3-0. But there is no reason that Archer couldn't have been bowling six, seven overs each in between days. Doull went even further, questioning Archer's desire to play Test cricket. The fact that he's not doing that tells me he has no interest in playing Test cricket. In between days, he needs to be bowling five overs, six overs, seven overs with the red ball so that he's ready to go. And there's enough time. If you're doing that in between games, there's enough time to come back here for a week and get ready for a Test match. There's no issue with that. So I think it's completely wrong. Archer's continued absence comes at a difficult time for England, who are beginning a new chapter after their disappointing Ashes campaign in Australia. With fellow seamer Brydon Carse also unavailable through injury, England's pace-bowling resources are under scrutiny. One positive for the hosts is the return of Ollie Robinson, who has been recalled to the Test squad for the first time in more than two years. However, former England captain Nasser Hussain believes Robinson still has much to prove at the highest level. I do like the fact that they have him involved - Ollie Robinson is a skilful bowler, Hussain said. He has let [McCullum] down, and that is the thing you have to prove to people. Hussain acknowledged Robinson's quality when conditions suit him, but stressed that true Test greatness is measured in tougher circumstances. When things are in his favour, and it's nipping around, his stats and his skill are as good as anyone. I think Brendan called him world-class. But that's not what has defined the people he's replacing. That's not what defined James Anderson when it was hooping around or Stuart Broad or Chris Woakes. Hussain acknowledged Robinson's quality when conditions suit him, but stressed that true Test greatness is measured in tougher circumstances. When things are in his favour, and it's nipping around, his stats and his skill are as good as anyone. I think Brendan called him world-class.

Sachin Tendulkar Hails 15-Year-Old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's IPL 2026 Impact
Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar was impressed with the impact teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had on the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, saying the Rajasthan Royals opener affected the outcome of games in more ways than through the runs he scored. The batting legend also added that whenever Sooryavanshi walked out to bat, Rajasthan Royals seemed to have a renewed sense of belief. In his post looking back at the season, Tendulkar was particular about naming some of the standout performances and trends that caught his attention during the tournament. Amongst them was the phenomenal season of Sooryavanshi. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had an influence on games that went beyond the runs he scored. Oppositions were thinking about him, teams were planning for him, and fans were waiting for him long before he arrived at the crease, Tendulkar said in a post on Reddit. The 15-year-old went on to be the top run-scorer in the tournament and one of the biggest success stories. The former India skipper was more amazed by the young boy's temperament during the playoffs: His ability to score quickly in the Eliminator and Qualifier proved his intent was always the same, even as the stakes were high. Even more importantly, his batting seemed to give Rajasthan Royals an added sense of belief every time he walked out to the middle. Tendulkar also cited the dismissal of Jos Buttler by Josh Hazlewood in the 1st qualifier between RCB and RR, to highlight an instance of brilliant game awareness by a bowler: Josh Hazlewood's dismissal of Jos Buttler in the 5th over of the 1st Qualifier showed the value of deception. Buttler had hit deliveries for a 4, 6, and a 4, and once a batter settles into a rhythm like that, he often tends to commit early. He elaborated on this: What made the wicket special was how he subtly slowed down the next delivery by 10 km/hr, and Buttler had already gone through his shot by the time the ball reached him, the batting maestro said. Looking at the eventual champions, RCB, Tendulkar noted how their win was an all-round effort. Every successful team develops an identity over the course of a campaign. RCB's identity seemed to be built around shared responsibility. He reserved high praise for captain Rajat Patidar. Rajat Patidar led from the front right through, but more importantly, he helped create an environment where others could do the same. The balance between leadership and contribution was an important part of them going all the way to yet another final, he The legendary batsman, however, suggested a change to the rules, keeping in mind the course of most of the games in the season. One trend that I observed through this season was how many games were decided between overs 7 and 15. Teams are now much better prepared for Power-plays and death overs than before. Tendulkar suggested the splitting of the powerplay: I feel the Power-play needs to be split into two parts. First 4 overs as the batting Power-play and two overs of bowling Power-play, which could be utilised at any point in the innings. If implemented, this could become the most strategic phase of T20 cricket, he said. Tendulkar was also full of praise for Punjab Kings for their attitude, despite failing to win the trophy: Punjab Kings brought wonderful energy to the tournament. Their cricket was positive, brave, and at times game-changing. According to him, the lesson learned from Punjab's season was to strike a balance between process and results: Momentum plays a big part in lengthy tournaments, and eventually in such a quick tournament it comes down to process and not attaching yourself to the results. Punjab seemed to focus on the process in the first half, and on results in the second. I feel the Power-play needs to be split into two parts. First 4 overs as the batting Power-play and two overs of bowling Power-play, which could be utilised at any point in the innings. If implemented, this could become the most strategic phase of T20 cricket, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Reflecting on IPL 2026, Tendulkar emphasised the importance of adaptation. When I reflect on IPL 2026, I was once again reminded that tournaments rarely follow a predictable course from the start. More than one instance this season, the table told a very different story at the mid-point compared to what we see at the end of the competition. He added. The teams responded, adjusted, and new strategies were developed as the competition grew. The game is all about continuous development, and that's what makes watching it so compelling.

Debutants Gay, Baker In England Squad For First New Zealand Test
Debutants Emilio Gay: England have named uncapped batter Emilio Gay and fast bowler Sonny Baker for their 12-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's. The opening Test of the English home summer, which commences on Thursday, marks the beginning of a crucial rebuilding phase following Englands dismal 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia. England men have named a 12-player squad for the first Test against New Zealand, which begins on Thursday at Lord's. Durham top-order batter Emilio Gay and Hampshire pace bowler Sonny Baker, who are yet to be capped, are included. Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson returns to the England Test squad for the first time since February 2024, England Cricket Board said in a statement. The debutants in the squad are Durham top-order batsman Gay and Hampshire pacer Baker, and Ollie Robinson of Sussex returns to the Test setup for the first time since February 2024. Archer will not feature as he currently has a time out following six months on the road, is currently in Barbados, and will not be arriving in England until after the first Test match. He may be available for the second match of the series starting June 17. England head coach Brendon McCullum insisted a cautious approach would be taken with the paceman. Jofra, we need to assess, McCullum told BBC Sport. He's having a little bit of a break at the moment. We've seen in the past that we can leave Jof to his own devices, work on his game, and follow a plan that has been set. He turns up having followed that plan to a tee. When we see him, we'll work out where he sits and if he's available for the second Test. If not, we'll look at the third Test. Archer spent six months at the Rajasthan Royals' IPL campaign, until they lost in the playoff stages. Archer is one of many to be impacted by the tournament in terms of his preparation for the Test summer. Despite Archer's absence, Jacob Bethell was withdrawn from the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to a finger complaint. Bethell withdrew early from the 2026 edition of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad due to his finger injury. He is in line to play at the Lord's. In the squad announcement, it was noted that Brydon Carse suffered a fractured wrist during the IPL. He attended the Loughborough training camp with England and will not be appearing in the New Zealand series. The squad has been shortened from 15 members to 12 for the opening match of the series against the Kiwis. England spinner Shoaib Bashir is back in the fold after missing out during the Ashes campaign, and Robinson provides extra experience in the pace attack alongside Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue.

IPL 2026: Were Very Lucky To Have Kohli In The RCB Dressing Room, Says Andy Flower
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower said the franchise is very lucky to have veteran batter Virat Kohli in the dressing room, hailing the former skippers hunger and drive as genuinely inspiring after RCB defended their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 crown with a fivewicket win over Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Kohli smashed a majestic 42-ball 75 not out, laced with nine fours and three sixes, as RCB completed a chase of 156 to retain the title they won at the same venue in 2025. Kohli also reached his fifty in 25 balls the fastest hes reached the half-century mark in his history of playing the IPL. You asked about Virats hunger and how that affects him. When I was in the dressing room last night after the game, I mentioned it actually. His hunger and drive its genuinely inspiring. Even for older blokes like me, seeing someone as hungry and driven, as disciplined and as ambitious as he still is, its wonderful to witness. And were very lucky to have him in the dressing room. He sets certain standards, like standards of intensity in the field, for instance, that means that anyone falling below those is going to stand out like a sore thumb. So we dont need coaches driving intensity on standards in the field, for instance, because hes living it and doing it. And everyone else has to raise their games to get anywhere near it, Flower said in a virtual press conference on Monday. The former Zimbabwe captain, who coached England to the 2010 Mens T20 World Cup title win, added, He works hard at his game, but you can see that he loves it as well. He loves batting. He loves hitting a ball. He loves the feeling of the ball meeting the middle of the bat. I would imagine the craft and mastery that he feels when hes got a bat in his hands. Again, those standards are easy for people in our training sessions to see, and certainly it just helps everyone head in the right direction. RCB skipper Rajat Patidar also acknowledged Kohlis influence on his own leadership journey after being appointed the sides captain ahead of winning their first title in the 2025 season. Regarding Virat bhai, as I said in many press conferences and interviews, his presence makes a lot of difference. For me, it's great learning. Whenever Im around him on the field and off the field, I always notice him. I dont speak much, but I always notice him. But whenever I have some kind of doubts regarding the leadership role or taking any decision, I always go to Virat bhai. For me, its a great opportunity to learn from the best and the greats of cricket. So, their ideas, inputs, and experience are definitely helping me a lot to grow in my new leadership role, he said. Under Patidars captaincy, RCB have now won backtoback IPL titles and have shed their longstanding reputation as perennial underachievers. The Indore-based batter himself had a standout campaign, scoring 501 runs at a strike rate of 192.69, including a matchwinning 93 not out in Qualifier 1. It's not like I had to go in and target the bowlers from ball number one. No one in the team was doing that. It's important to back your instincts. We did a lot of hard work before the tournament with DK (Dinesh Karthik, batting coach-cum-mentor), Flower, and Mo Bobat (Director of Cricket) were also there. There was more clarity about my role. I was pretty clear that if I'm batting in the middle overs, I can maximise and I can take a risk. I like taking risks, so if I am playing in the middle overs phase, I like to maximise every bowler. If I feel I have to go after the attack on my second delivery, I back myself and go with full clarity, he added. Patidar also drew praise from Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer, who labelled him the most stylish performer of the season. Responding to the compliment, Patidar said, I have spent a lot of time with Shreyas. In my first season in Ranji, we played Mumbai, and at that time, he scored a lot of runs. There was more clarity about my role. I was pretty clear that if I'm batting in the middle overs, I can maximise and I can take a risk. I like taking risks, so if I am playing in the middle overs phase, I like to maximise every bowler. If I feel I have to go after the attack on my second delivery, I back myself and go with full clarity, he added.

Its pretty clear, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Hes so young, and the way hes dominated this tournament. He just didnt play; he dominated every top bowler. So the way he played his shots, hes amazing. Whenever I saw him on TV, it was just superb. I wish him luck. Article Source: IANS
