Junaid Khan says India bowling is zero without Jasprit Bumrah

Former Pakistan pacer Junaid Khan has criticised India's bowling following their defeat in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka.The home side prevailed over India with a 2-0 victory, marking their first series win against India since 1997.Throughout the series, Indian batters struggled against the Sri Lankan spinners and were dismissed in all three matches. Additionally, India's bowlers lacked effectiveness and failed to take wickets consistently. Junaid believes that India's bowling attack is overly reliant on Jasprit Bumrah.“Would you agree? Without Bumrah, India’s bowling is zero… #INDvSL #SLVSIND,” he wrote on X. Jasprit Bumrah has been granted an extended break to manage his workload after India's successful ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.After the conclusion of the final match, Rohit Sharma was asked during the presentation ceremony whether India had been slightly complacent in their approach. After all, they had won the T20 World Cup just over a month ago and had faced a fragile Sri Lankan side in the T20I series. Rohit did not seem to take the question kindly, and sought to dismiss such thoughts instantly. "No, it's a joke. When you're playing for India, there's no complacency. We have to give credit where credit is due, Sri Lanka played better than us," he said. "We looked at the conditions, wanted to take pace off the ball, and that's why we went with our combination. "All in all we didn't play good cricket through the series, and that is why we stand here. Throughout there were a few positives too. How the spinners bowled, some of the batters in the middle as well. We lost the series, and I feel there are a lot of areas we need to look at rather than the positives."The Men in Blue will be in action in Test cricket next, when they take on Bangladesh in a 2-match home series in Chennai and Kanpur. Source  This is Quite a controversial statement while praising Jasprit Bumrah and criticizing Indian bowling at the same time. We all know that Jasprit Bumrah is a key bowler in the Indian team and without him ,they really suffer a lot. But we recently saw in the last T20 world cup when they beat South Africa and it was about a loss for India but what He did in 02 last overs, it was just unbelievable.He is the king of death overs and we often see him really doing unbelievable things. The commentators often say that if you are having 4 hours at the end, just exclude the two of  bumrah as he is not going to make you hit anywhere and if you try to you will pay for it just like taking Mohammad Rizwan example ,when he tried to hit boomrah ,he was just clean bold so batsman mostly avoid hitting him and also he takes good wickets and  be a game changer. he has a unique bowling style and often both separation the game and leads to the winning team of India. It's a bit relaxation game against the Sri Lanka as India has won the world cup in main players or out of the team that's why I just like a practicing ,giving you chance to the players to test some new potential and always happens we have seen many incidents like that after major world cup or something like that many teams of their low level players  to test that and the mostly lose but it doesn't actually matters as they won the t20 world cup and what it actually matters . Rohit Sharma's played  his 9th world cup and it was his dream as he has just full filled that so not disappointment and its just an ordinary match and matching the need to  think about it and send some good players as testing out is also good but sending some top quality key players is also you knee can I think next time they may at some new players is basically testing face to your chance to the players have to prove it and can actually come in the team that call you ,will arrange really the team and that's why we need players . Many good players in the Indian team will retire soon and that's why they need new talent, so testing new players is definitely an initiative that needs be promoted and having matches against the teams suggest Sri Lanka definitely  a golden chance of them. But my question is when Bumrah will leave the team eventually will the Indian bowling with the same or it will be low?

PCB announces Pakistan schedule for 2024-25 season after T20 World Cup failure, set to compete in one iconic competition after 21 years

Hello indfam family, Back here after sometime, How are you guys doing ? Well ,Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the both home and away series schedule for the Men in Green's 2024-25 season. The PAK team recently suffered an embarrassing exit from the T20 World Cup 2024 as they failed to even qualify for the Super 8 stage after defeats against arch-rivals India and the United States. However, they would try to bounce back from this and have a better season up ahead. They will have four home series and three away tours. They are set to have a total of 30 confirmed matches during this season. Pakistan to play in tri-series after 21 years: Pakistan cricket team will be playing 7 Test matches in the home 2024-25 season. The real highlight for their home season would be the tri-series that they will be hosting against South Africa and New Zealand. This will be the first tri-series for Pakistan in 21 years and will take place in February just before the Champion's Trophy 2025. They last hosted a tri-series back in 2004 against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, where the Lankan Lions came out victorious after beating Men in Green in the Finals. Pakistan will be playing Test matches against Bangladesh, England, and West Indies at home during this season. Then they will also be touring Australia and Zimbabwe for three ODIs and T20Is each. Then a 3 T20I, 3 ODI, and 2 Test series against South Africa in this season.  SCHEDULE OF PAKISTAN’S HOME INTERNATIONAL MATCHES IN 2024-25: Bangladesh in Pakistan (Two Tests): 21-25 Aug – First Test, Rawalpindi 30 Aug-3 Sep – Second Test, Karachi England in Pakistan (Three Tests): 7-11 Oct – First Test, Multan 15-19 Oct – Second Test, Karachi 24-28 Oct – Third Test, Rawalpindi West Indies in Pakistan (Two Tests) 16-20 Jan – First Test, Karachi 24-28 Jan – Second Test, Multan New Zealand and South Africa in Pakistan (ODI tri-series) 8 Feb – Pakistan v New Zealand, Multan 10 Feb – New Zealand v South Africa, Multan 12 Feb – Pakistan v South Africa, Multan 14 Feb – Final, Multan Source I don't think anything will improve for Pakistan until they do selection on merit.Grouping and Political influence is one of the major reasons why Pakistan is in trouble.Azam khan is prime example of this . He has a no fitness and players like this are seen rare  in cricket as he has no fitness .In cricket , being Fit is a basic requirement but he still playx and his performance in the recent world cup was drastic Next a big problem is the middle order situation and we have don't good middle orders till yet. When openers wicket fall down ,its always a problem for Pakistan and their are in pressure and slow the net run rate to even 4 or 3 in that even put smooth pressure.We do not have a good finisher like iftekhar Ahmed who badly flopped against India . Nothing will improve till Pakistan do some good changes like replacing the players and giving the deserving once a  chance. Pakistan needs to put more and more concentration on the batting order as I believe tha, Pakistan bowling is one of the best in the world and they do not need any kind of improvement in this. When they lose , they always are in problem with their batting and that's why,they flop. Practice is a good thing but unless you do I change in your team which is causing a problem, nothing will change

Rauf, Rizwan return for T20I series against Ireland and England 😱🔥

Pakistan will play three T20Is against Ireland and four against England in preparation for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.Pakistan’s Men’s National Selection Committee named the T20I squad during a press conference in Lahore for their tour of Ireland and England, starting 10 May with the three-match series against the Irish. Haris Rauf is set for a return after missing the series against New Zealand after recovering from a shoulder injury suffered during the PSL. Hasan Ali also makes a comeback in the squad that will travel to Ireland and England for the T20I series.Pakistan have retained much of the squad that played against the Black Caps with two players – Usama Mir and Zaman Khan – omitted from the squad. Salman Ali Agha, who was in the reserves in the recent home series, makes  Azam Khan was sidelined for the entire series against New Zealand due to discomfort in his right leg during the build-up, while wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan was forced out of the last two matches following a hamstring injury sustained in the third game.Babar Azam will lead the side after being reinstated as white-ball captain ahead of the five-match T20I series at home against New Zealand, which ended in a 2-2 stalemate after the first game was washed out. Source  I am specially excited as only one month is remaining from T20 world cup and these type of the matches are crucial for testing out which player is doing best and showing skills with the consistency so that we can have a better combination at the world cup squad. The competition is getting tight as specially at the bowler side we have a strong combination and the players need to struggle at their best and performance so that they get a chance as after the coming back of Mohammad Amir and imad waseem,the situation is getting so much tight that a tiny space is remaining and only those one will be selected who is performance is the best. I would go for Mohammed Aamir, shaheen shah Afridi &Naseem Shah at the top priority and till place remains for a 4th choice which would be placed on the base of recent performance and over all contribution to the team. Also, the previous track record matters a lot as when you are in a world cup there is so much pressure that experience bowlers are preferred those can handle the pressure at this situation. Mohammed Rizwan come back is needed as he is the best priority and as we have seen  the previous track record of their amazing partnership with Babar Azam which is a testament of their understanding and how their batting skills are polished when they play together. I believe that they will make a great partnership and indeed when you have a strong batting pair at the start, your performance is on another level. one month  remains and players need to improve their performances, practice a lot as many teams have announce their  squad and I truly believe that this World Cup is going to be interesting as tough competition is really present and it would be really enjoyable to watch.🔥 Regards: Doctor Strange

New Zealand name T20 World Cup 2024 squad 💀🔥.

Greetings INDFAM community,its pleasure to make a post after 06 months. Its okay to make mistakes but you should learn from them and don't repeat them in future.You know life is all about lessons. Lets get back straight to topic. Experienced batter Kane Williamson has been named captain as New Zealand became the first team to announce their squad for JuneICC Men's T20 World Cup.The Kiwis named their 15-player squad for the ninth edition of the 20-over showcase on Monday, with the Black Caps opting for an experienced squad that includes Williamson and fast bowling duo Tim Southee and Trent Boult.It will be the sixth appearance for Williamson at a T20 World Cup and fourth as skipper, with Southee set for his seventh appearance at the tournament and Boult his fifth as the Kiwis seek a first title in the shortest international format of the game. There were no major surprises in New Zealand's squad, with key pacer Kyle Jamieson (back) and all-rounder Adam Milne (ankle) ruled out of the event through injury and the likes of Will O'Rourke, Tom Latham, Tim Seifert and Will Young missing out on selection despite some recent good form against the white-ball. There was also no shock return for experienced top-order batter Colin Munro, with selectors instead opting to include young gun Rachin Ravindra - alongside fast bowler Matt Henry - as one of two players yet to previously appear at a T20 World Cup.The Kiwis will also take young pacer Ben Sears to the USA and West Indies as a travelling reserve if required.New Zealand coach Gary Stead believes he has selected a well-balanced squad and is confident of a strong showing in the month-long tournament. Details: Devon Conway Batsman/Wicketkeeper 32 Years 2 Finn Allen Batsman 24 Years 3 Kane Williamson (C) Batsman 33 Years 4 Daryl Michell Batsman 32 Years 5 Glenn Phillips Batsman 27 Years 6 Mark Chapman Batsman 29 Years 7 Tim Seifert Batsman/Wicketkeeper 29 Years 8 Mitchell Santner All Rounder 32 Years 9 Rachin Ravindra All Rounder 24 Years 10 James Neesham All Rounder 33 Years 11 Ish Sodhi Sppiner 31 Years 12 Lockie Ferguson Fast Bowler 32 Years 13 Adam Milne Fast Bowler 31 Years 14 Trent Boult Fast Bowler 34 Years 15 Tim Southee Fast Bowler Source  My Opinion: As a world cup  awaits,New Zealand have a prepared a handsome squad and I am pretty sure and they can make up to for as a quite a strong history in World cups despite a bit unLucky they are ,but no doubt they have a strong team and they perform very well as per the history. I'm surprise by the management here like how can you trust the captain who lost in almost everything and is so unlucky . Being a cricket fan ,I am fan of Kane Williamson and I think he is truly  a nice man with lot of cricket skills and his attitude at the pitch is truly to be admirable. Tim southee , Lockie Ferguson  and Trent boult make a very deadly combination and if you remember the past history when New Zealand had a match against India in the semi final of World Cup 2019, Matt Henry was simply unstoppable and he took a vital part in destroying the Indian batting order and keeping the New Zealand further ahead. There are rumours that he will also be added and I think it's quite a nice choice for them. Williamson, Convey, Phillip's and Allen a quite deadly a batsman combination and I am quite satisfied that it as you know that history says New Zealand are quite strong in there letting order and I think it's quite perfect. So, quite a balanced Squad for me and I think to they have strong chances , allthough I will not declare them the winners or hot favorites but indeed they will give a tough competition.

Kumar sangakara names his Favorite teams at WC23 !

ICC Men ODI World Cup 2023 will begin from October 5 in India and fans are quite excited about it .The inaugural match promises a clash of titans  pitting the defending champions, England against the 2019 ODI World Cup runners-up, New Zealand.Cricket enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await this thrilling tournament to begin as it sets the stage for what promises to be more then a month-long spectacle of top-tier cricketing action.As the excitement for the World Cup continues, numerous veteran cricketers, pundits, and experts have begun sharing their predictions and naming their favourite teams to clinch the coveted World Cup trophy. Former Sri Lankan player Kumar Sangakkara has also opened up on the upcoming multi-nation tournament and named his top two favourites to win the trophy. I think England and India are going to be top favourites: Source  My Opinion: First of all I'm quite excited about the world cup as you all know that Asia Cup has finally ended and congratulations to the India for having a beautiful victory indeed it was and their destiny and Pakistan was out of the Asia Cup and it was a piece of cake for India to and if it the Sri Lanka part the real challenge is away and that is the world cup which is the biggest event of the Year 2023. Talking about the teams I personally think that World Cup is kind of unpredictable tournament because you never know that towards going to happen in the future and their many teams which I could less that like Pakistan, India, England ,New Zealand and Australia. These are the 5 teams which are having the most chances of winning the world cup and short-Listing the two teams is kind of difficult situation but as per the Sri Lankan legend  cricketer , Kumar sangakkara says that he is going to choose the two teams and that's India and the England. I partially agree over this opinion because India has been an amazing form and that's the home ground benefit as well because you all know that World Cup is being hosted in India and when you are at your home ground and the kind of confidence is at a different levels in the player has different passion and energy and that's what you need a when you are on the field. Talking about the England they also have right chances because England is a team that often performs well in the mega events and as per the previous history says they are the strong containers for this position because 2019 World Cup as remember that they also won the tournament all the best light margin from the New Zealand but indeed the represented a good play making. He is right about his prediction but I can say that there are also the chances for the Australia and Pakistan is unpredictable but the chances are quiet less because main fast bowlers of the Pakistan are injured and let's see how this on folds.

My prediction for Asia Cup

Asia Cup is going With Full excitement and personally,after that all rain havocked the whole match I am waiting for 10 September.It will be tough competition and we will enjoy as Pakistan has a dangerous bowling and they can serve a good competitors to India giving Tough competition,that's what we all want . Before making any prediction,I will highlight what's going on a current Format.  Afghanistan: They are currently placed at the bottom most position on the Group B points table.The top run scorer for Afghanistan in the Asia Cup is Ibrahim Zadran with 75 runs to his name.The top wicket taker for Afghanistan in the Asia Cup is Mujeeb ur Rahman.They have also lost their first match of the competition against Bangladesh by 89 runs. Sri Lanka: They  are placed at the top position of Group B points table.The top run scorer for Sri Lanka in Asia Cup is Charith Asalanka with 62 runs to his name.The top wicket taker for Sri Lanka in Asia Cup is Matheesha Pathirana with 4 wickets.In their previous match against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka bowled first and they wrapped up the opposition for just 164. Bangladesh lost 2 early wickets and looked to be in great trouble. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy tried to bring their team back into the game. Shanto scored 89 runs but he kept losing partners at the other end and Bangladesh were bowled out for 164. I don't think these teams can make to the victory sign  Let's have a look at points Table : Now it's all about India or Pakistan:  My prediction: Winner of Asia cup:                                         Pakistan  Player of Tournament:                                          Babar Azam  Reason ' If you saw the last match between India and Pakistan, it was interesting no doubt without any result and rain flopped the match but Pakistan bowling impressed me a lot and you see that Indian team was all out by merely 3 Pacers and I see that they have improved a  lot in their boiling especially the fast pace and I think this can upset India that's why, I am going for Pakistan because they are dominant bowling side and batting side and  also going well ,I see Babar Azam is in good form and performing well so I think that it will be a Tough competition but Pakistan when win  tournament...

Can bowl 8 to 10 overs in ODIs!

Mohammad Hafeez has urged Pakistan to use big-hitting all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed properly in ODIs, saying he is capable of bowling eight to 10 overs.While Iftikhar has bowled on various occasions, Hafeez wants him to be utilised to the fullest extent as he believes the 32-year-old can be an incredibly valuable asset. In the recent limited overs series against New Zealand, all the damage Iftikhar inflicted was with the bat as he struck 129 runs in five T20Is, which included a top score of 60, at an average of 43 and a strike-rate of 195.45.The Peshawar powerhouse then proceeded to smash 122 runs in two ODIs, which included a top score of 94 not out, at an average of 122 and a strike-rate of 129.78. Source  My opinion: Well I think if he can contribute he should because he is a good bowler ,and if you look at the past history, he can also bowl some good overs   as well like he has ability despite being a good batsman he can also bowl 8  to 10 overs,and I think to use his ability will be a huge  benefit for Pakistan! Mohamed Hafeez is right in  this regard because you know that Pakistan always suffer from a variety of bowlers and I think if they can use a better all rounder can fall some good overs, and also do some extractional batting, they can squeeze him well and all the Talent, they can use because awhen you are on the ground and you are a playing a high level game against the top class teams like India, England or Australia you have to use all the powers and all the nerves.you have and I think it will be great if the use his ability! I he can ball some good overs  like 5 or 6 and also can form some good batting as well and I think if the include him as an all rounder it would be great benefit for him and you are looking for a team selection then it will be first prt to select him because as an all rounder he has more proper benefit then a proper batsman I think that if he needs to do they should do some improvement in bowling as well as there is a terms competition as a heater because we have the same we have Asif Ali and we have iftekhar Ahmed !

Virat Kohli to become Team India’s mentor

During the second Test match between India and the West Indies in Port of Spain, former India pacer Zaheer Khan highlighted the significance of Virat Kohli adopting the role of a mentor at this juncture of his career. Speaking to Jio Cinema, Zaheer expressed his belief that the enjoyment factor will be crucial for Kohli now that the weight of captaincy has been lifted off his shoulders Kohli, who scored his 29th Test century in India’s first innings against the West Indies in Port of Spain, demonstrated his form and finesse. Zaheer praised the Indian batsman, stating, “He’s constantly involved in the game. I think that those aspects are very important for him going forward. But it’s so good to see him in a good space and scoring runs. I think that’s what he should just do right now.”Notably, with the captaincy duties behind him, Kohli is now in a position to guide and mentor the younger players in the Indian squad, which boasts talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Ishan Kishan. Zaheer emphasized the importance of this mentorship role for Kohli and how it would keep him engaged and motivated. Source  My Review: I think that it is extremely good news for virat Kohli and I think he truly desire of this because she has played so much cricket and now he can guide young players in a better way , like we know that he is one of the greatest cricketers about time and has been amazing and all permits of the game, Now it's time that he might a retire and two are three years and the next responsibility will be like he a place important role and guiding the new young players in Indian team and that would be great because if you are coach is virat Kohli then you will definitely be a good player in future! Take Shubhan Gill and Ishan Kishan as an example as they are emerging young talents of India and they are doing very well and both of these things that virat Kohli is they are mentor and they are  following him as well so I think it's a great opportunity and a good achievement for virat Kohli that he can guide the young players in a better way and he deserves to be a mentor as well By: Doc strange

Saud Shakeel 🔥

Saud Shakeel created history during the first Test match in Galle, by becoming the first Pakistani batsman to achieve a double century on Sri Lankan soil. His outstanding innings of 208 not out surpassed the previous highest individual Test score by Pakistani batter in Sri Lanka, held by Mohammad Hafeez (196) and Younis Khan (177). This remarkable feat also made Saud Shakeel the 23rd Pakistani batsman to score a double century in Test cricket. With his exceptional performance, Saud Shakeel now holds the record for the most runs (788) by a Pakistani batsman after just 11 Test innings. His run tally of 788* places him ahead of Abdullah Shafique (720) and Javed Miandad (654) in this category Source  My opinion: I think that it is a great news for Pakistani fan and especially I would like to say that it is a proud achievement for Saud  shakeel  for contributing so well and getting a great now get this early age this is really a perfect motivation and now he will need to struggle more and more if we want to shine on the pages of cricket history... And there is famous quotation that if you start well everything were well and what proud achievement and would be for having a good start as a youngster and it takes you to the level of confidence and motivation that you start contributing more and more and the future years  And if you might noticed after a retirement of some good players in Pakistan there is always deficiency of test talent and I think that this is perfect time if he wants to make a real space in the team he will have to go high and high ....

Misbah-Ul-Haq Responds to Rumors of Becoming Part of New PCB Regime

Former captain, Misbah-ul-Haq, has responded to recent rumors of his comeback to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the head coach of the national team.Speaking to the media, Misbah stated that he has not received any contact from any official of the PCB regarding any role, following a major shift in the management. Source  My opinion: Hello my dear friends I hope that you all are fine and doing well so many statements and news were coming that Miss world hacker will be the new PCB chairman and it was getting a hot topic day by day but as per his spoken to the media recently he has said that he has not received any contact or any offer from the PCB and its fake news You also said that he is ready to serve the Pakistan and serving the Pakistan cricket is his prime responsibility and he takes this as honor and when he will receive an offer he will I will accept it and will serve the Pakistan cricket team at his best abilities.He he was also successful head coach in test cricket because for the first time Pakistan cricket team was able to defeat South Africa sent to 2003 There are many changes in the PCB chairman like in the previous year they have made many changes and I do not think that this is a good choice to rapidly change the PCB chairman because it disturbing to dressing room environment and its not good for the players to perform .. Reason is that  by the changing environment and each  PCB chairman has its own priorities and rules and they cannot adjust properly when players are force to change their style regularly and this creates a problem and this affects the team performance  So I think that Pakistan management should think that there is not a good decision to change the PCB chairman  regularly and they should make it permanent they should select a PCB chairman carefully and they should give him some enough time so that he  observes the team and its good for the team performance
