T20 Cricket

Following India's loss to Australia in the final held in Ahmedabad, the national selection committee convened at the Narendra Modi Stadium and took the decision to grant rest to all players, except Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and the inclusion of Prasidh Krishna as a replacement for the injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

Pandya was gradually trying to regain his bowling form under the guidance of strength and conditioning coaches at the nets

Scheduled to kick off on November 23 in Vizag and wrap up in Hyderabad on December 3, the five-match T20 series might see Yadav stepping into the captain's role.

Multi-format all-rounders Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh will return home following the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup along with fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to prepare for the Test summer against Pakistan and West Indies, which starts in Perth eleven days after the final T20 match in India.

Besides the Inclusion of Women's T20 competition as a medal sport at last year's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the success of professional leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Major League Cricket also helped in convincing the La 2028 administrators that cricket will be a game changer and thus proposed it as one of the additional sports.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Monday gave its final approval for the inclusion of T20 cricket as an additional sport in the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

The proposal to include cricket (T20) along with baseball softball, squash, lacrosse (sixes) and flag football, a limited contact version of American Football, as additional sports for the Los Angeles Olympic Games cleared a major hurdle on Friday when the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) sent the proposal for voting by the IOC session starting here on Monday.

"It's not about those ducks. All those things that people have been talking about, stuff like 'Is he just a T20 player? Is he good enough to be a 50-overs player?'. He sure is, you don't lose your talent overnight. There are similar basics in T20 cricket and 50-over cricket. Hit the ball, run hard, put the bad ball away, he can do all those things really well," Mark Waugh told JioCinema.

The venue could be understood to play host to the marquee clash between India and Pakistan. A similar venue was supposed to be built in Van Cortlandt Park in the borough of Bronx. But some of the neighborhood residents and a nearby cricket league voiced strong opposition to the plans, forcing the city officials and ICC to abandon the plan.

Former India bowler Mohammad Kaif remembered the brutal knock of Kohli and stated that, the Pakistani pacers will surely be under pressure bowling Kohli.
