Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers decline West Indies central contracts

3 top West Indies cricketers, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers declined central contracts, revealed the Windies Cricket Board on Sunday.

The development came just 6 months before the T20 World Cup, which the West Indies and the USA will co-hoast in June.

3 top West Indies cricketers, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers declined central contracts, revealed the Windies Cricket Board on Sunday.
However, the board stated that the 3 players will be available for all T20I matches for the side. The development came just 6 months before the T20 World Cup, which the West Indies and the USA will co-hoast in June.&nbsp;
&ldquo;With a busy year of cricket ahead, in all three formats, we have held several detailed discussions with the two Head Coaches on the brand of cricket they want to play. We are very clear in the direction we want to go. The players who have been offered contracts are among those who we expect to feature, as we look to build towards challenging for the top spot when we host and compete in the ICC Men&rsquo;s T20 World Cup 2024 on home soil," said selector Desmond Haynes.
"We also have away Test Series in Australia and England &ndash; these are two major assignments whilst in the 50-over format we look to build a nucleus of players aimed towards the ICC Men&rsquo;s Cricket World Cup 2027,&rdquo; he further added.
Player and board relations in West Indies have been at a low since a couple of years, with many cricketers opting to play league cricket around the world rather international matches.
The West Indies also failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup in in 2022 and also didn't make it to the recently-concluded Cricket World Cup 2023.

Chahar had also missed the fifth and final T20I against Australia in Bengaluru, as he had to rush back home after being intimated about a family member's illness.

Deepak Chahar yet to join Team India; pacer remains doubtful for remainder of IND vs SA T20I series

Deepak Chahar remains a doubtful participant for India's remaining two T20Is against South Africa as he is yet to join the squad. Here's what the BCCI is saying

Chahar had also missed the fifth and final T20I against Australia in Bengaluru, as he had to rush back home after being intimated about a family member's illness.

Senior seamer Deepak Chahar remains a doubtful participant for India's remaining two T20Is against South Africa as he is yet to join the squad due to personal reasons.
It is understood that Chahar is currently at home as a close family member has not been keeping well and he urgently needed a break from the sport.
Chahar, in fact, missed the fifth and final T20I against Australia in Bengaluru, as he had to rush back home after being intimated about the family member's illness.
"Deepak hasn't yet joined the team in Durban as a close family member needed urgent hospitalisation. He had taken permission for a break as he needed to attend to his family member.
"He may or may not join the squad depending on his family member's health in coming days," a senior BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity.
The BCCI top brass understands that Chahar might not be in the best frame of mind till the family member fully recovers and hence if he doesn't wish to join the team now, he would be excused.
The 31-year-old Rajasthan veteran boasts best figures of 6/7 in a T20 International and his prolonged absence due to injury did affect the T20 squad's balance in the past two years.
With his incisive swing bowling in Powerplay overs, Chahar is an integral part of the T20I squad and the team management would like him to get as much game time as possible.
However, there remains a possibility that Chahar, who is also part of the ODI squad, will join the team during the second phase of the white ball-leg of the ongoing tour to SA.
However, the other two members of the T20I squad, Shubman Gill and vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja, who were holidaying abroad after the World Cup final have directly linked up with the squad in Durban and attended the practice sessions.&nbsp;

Ace southpaw Smriti Mandhana held on to guide India to a much-needed victory in Mumbai against the roaring English. 

Ace southpaw Smriti Mandhana held on to guide India to a much-needed victory in Mumbai against the roaring English.&nbsp;

Smriti Mandhana scored a scratchy run-a-ball 48 but that was enough to earn India a consolation five-wicket win against England in the third and final women's T20 International here on Sunday.
England won the three-match series 2-1.
Batting first, captain Heather Knight's 52 ensured a modest 126 for England with spinners -- left-arm orthodox Saika Ishaque and off-break specialist Shreyanka Patil -- scalping three wickets each.
For India, Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues (29 off 33 balls) added 57 for the second wicket. Mandhana hit five fours and two sixes.

India's desire to start the process of finding an ideal combination for the T20 World Cup 2024 suffered a minor dent as their first match against South Africa was abandoned due to heavy rain.&nbsp;

Persistent downpour in Durban on Sunday afternoon led to the cancellation of the first T20I between India and South Africa.&nbsp; The match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. It began with a drizzle which led to a delay in the toss which eventually did not take place.&nbsp; Now, the 'Men in Blue' are left with just five T20Is &ndash; two more against the Proteas and three games against Afghanistan at home in January &ndash; ahead of next year&rsquo;s showpiece in the West Indies and the USA. Suryakumar &amp; Co. face South Africa in Gqeberha on December 12 for the second T20I.&nbsp;

This was the third title for the Indian pair, which had clinched the Abu Dhabi Masters Super 100 and Nantes International Challenge this year.

Tanisha Crasto-Ashwini Ponnappa win second Super 100 title in Guwahati | Badminton

This was the third title for the Indian pair, which had clinched the Abu Dhabi Masters Super 100 and Nantes International Challenge this year.

Indian women's doubles pair of Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa on Sunday secured their second Super 100 title with a straight-game win over Chinese Taipei's Sung Shuo Yun and Yu Chien Hui at the Guwahati Masters.
The second-seeded Indian combination, which finished runners-up at the Syed Modi International Super 300 tournament last week in Lucknow, beat the world no. 81 combination 21-13, 21-19 in a 40-minute final.
This was the third title for the Indian pair, which had clinched the Abu Dhabi Masters Super 100 and Nantes International Challenge this year.
The Indian duo didn't face much resistance in the opening game as it led 6-2 and kept moving ahead, taking an 11-7 advantage at the interval. After resumption, Ashwini and Tanisha kept dominating the rallies to leave their opponents far behind.
The world no. 28 Indian pair again had a 4-1 lead which swelled to 12-6 in a jiffy but the Taiwanese combination led a fight-back with five straight points to make it 11-12.
Shuo and Chien drew parity at 16-16 and 19-19 but the Indians quelled the challenge, sealing the issue with the required two points.
Ashwini, 34, and 20-year-old Tanisha started playing together only in January this year and were part of India's Asian Games squad which competed in Hangzhou, China in September-October.
One of India's finest doubles exponents, Ashwini has enjoyed a lot of success with Jwala Gutta, winning the 2011 World Championships bronze and the gold and silver medals at the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games respectively.
Ashwini and Jwala had also participated in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics in London and Rio de Janeiro but couldn't cross the group stage on both occasions.
After the 2016 Games, the duo parted ways and Ashwini forged an alliance with N Sikki Reddy. The pair won the 2018 CWG bronze medal, while Ashwini was also instrumental in guiding India to a first-ever mixed team gold in Gold Coast.
Once Ashwini and Sikki parted ways last year, the former started partnering Tanisha, who was born in Dubai.
In fact, Tanisha represented Bahrain and won her first major BWF title at the 2016 Bahrain International Challenge. She moved to India in 2018 and started playing in the domestic circuit, representing Goa.
Three years later, Tanisha made it to the Indian team for the Uber Cup and Sudirman Cup.
Initially, she found success in mixed doubles with Ishaan Bhatnagar, rising to a career-high of world number 18 but an injury to her partner left her stranded as she decided to focus on women's doubles.
After struggling to find a long-term partner, Tanisha finally joined hands with Ashwini and the rest is history.

How Alyssa Healy connects WPL's two costliest uncapped players - Vrinda Dinesh, Kashvee Gautam

Kashvee Gautam and Vrinda Dinesh are the two costliest uncapped players to be bought in the Women's Premier League auction on Saturday.&nbsp;

It was a historical Saturday for some cricketers after being picked in the Women's Premier League auction.&nbsp; Kashvee Gautam was bought by Gujarat Giants for a whopping ₹2 crore to become the costliest uncapped player to be sold. The pacer from Chandigarh holds the joint title of the costliest player of the 2024 auction with Australia's Annabel Sutherland.&nbsp; And following suit was Vrinda Dinesh who was bought by the UP Warriorz for ₹1.3 crore.&nbsp; Speaking after their historic buys, Gautam said, 'It&rsquo;s a huge opportunity for me to showcase my skills. We have always looked up to Mithali ji. It&rsquo;s a great opportunity for me to interact with her and seek tips from her.'&nbsp; Former India skipper Mithali Raj is the mentor for Gujarat Giants.&nbsp; On the players she is excited about bowling to, Gautam said, 'I think Alyssa Healy or any other foreign batter like Hayley Matthews.' In a different interview, Dinesh heaped praises on her UP skipper.&nbsp; 'To be able to play under Alyssa Healy's captaincy, having Tahlia McGrath, having Dani Wyatt, having Sophie Ecclestone... some of the greats of women's cricket. It's going to be surreal because I've always thought of it, but, you know, I've never imagined it happening to me,' she said in a UP Warriorz video.&nbsp; Dinesh was so overhwhelmed after being bought in the auction, she did not call her mother knowing she would see her crying.&nbsp; 'I just knew that, you know, they were really overwhelmed. They were very happy for me. And, you know, I just want to make them proud said. I will give my parents the car they have always dreamed of. That is my first goal right now and I will see whatever later on,' Dinesh said.&nbsp;

India will be playing its final group league match on Tuesday against Nepal and need to win it in order to qualify for the semi-final. 

Under-19 Asia Cup: Pakistan defeat India by 8 wickets after Azan Awais scores century 

India will be playing its final group league match on Tuesday against Nepal and need to win it in order to qualify for the semi-final.&nbsp;

Pakistan rode on Azan Awais's classy unbeaten century to beat arch-rivals India by eight wickets in the ongoing U-19 Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday. India managed a mediocre 259 for 9 in 50 overs, largely due to late surge by Sachin Dhas, who tonked three sixes in his 42-ball-58.
Skipper Uday Saharan (60 off 98 balls) and opener Adarsh Singh (62 off 81 balls) couldn't force the pace adding only 93 runs in 20 overs.
For the winners, right-arm medium pacer Mohammed Zeeshan took four for 46.
The biggest name among U-19s -- Sarfaraz Khan's younger brother Musheer (2) couldn't repeat the performance of the opening game.
In reply, Pakistan romped home in just 47 overs with southpaw Azan anchoring the chase, scoring a patient 105 not out off 130 balls with 10 fours.
He first added 110 for the second wicket with opener Shazaib Khan (63 off 88 balls) and another 125 in just 19.1 overs with Saad Baig, who smashed unbeaten 68 off just 51 balls with eight boundaries and a maximum.
Skipper Saharan used as many as seven bowlers but they didn't measure with only off-spinner Murugan Abhishek picking up the two wickets.
Musheer had a forgettable outing as he was clobbered for 32 runs in four overs.
India will be playing its final group league match on Tuesday against Nepal and need to win it in order to qualify for the semi-final while Pakistan with two wins from two games would have to lose by a huge margin to Afghanistan in order to qualify.
It shouldn't be a problem for India colts as Nepal aren't the toughest team to beat, having already lost both their encounters.

India's cricket authorities are currently not in favour of playing pink ball games, BCCI chief Jay Shah indicated.

BCCI chief Jay Shah explains why Team India doesn't play too many day/night Tests

We will have to increase the amount of interest in the public for the pink-ball Test. Everyone wants to watch a Test match lasting four-five days: BCCI chief Jay Shah

The future of Pink ball cricket hangs in the balance as India&rsquo;s cricket authorities expressed resentment against the day/night format. BCCI chief Jay Shah spoke about the short duration of the format, saying it usually ends within two or three days.
&ldquo;We will have to increase the amount of interest in the public for the pink-ball Test. Everyone wants to watch a Test match lasting four-five days. Once they get more used to it, we will do more pink-ball Tests,&rdquo; he said, as per Times of India.
The BCCI has not scheduled any pink ball games for both India men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s cricket teams.
&ldquo;Last time it was done in Australia, no one has done it since then. We were in talks with England, but we will do it gradually,&rdquo; the BCCI secretary added.
The men&rsquo;s team has played only four pink ball games, out of which they have lost just one. The women&rsquo;s team has played a single match so far, which was declared a draw against Australia.

A batter's wicket was saved despite appearing to be clean bowled, here's how the entire ordeal came to be. 

Middle stump uprooted but batter still given not out in Australia; MCC law explains why

A batter's wicket was saved despite appearing to be clean bowled, here's how the entire ordeal came to be.&nbsp;

The laws of cricket have been invoked again! This time following a bizarre occurrence in a domestic match in Australia.&nbsp; In an ACT cricket game between Ginninderra Cricket Club and West District, the former's bowler clean bowled a West District batter. Or so it appeared.&nbsp; Andy Reynolds and his teammates broke out into celebration as Matthew Bosustow began to walk back.&nbsp; But there was a catch. While the middle stump was simply knocked over, both bails stayed intact. And the umpires consequently ruled that the batter was not out, as per the MCC law.&nbsp; What does the Marlyebone Cricket Club law state?&nbsp; Law 29.1 states, 'The wicket is broken when at least one bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or one or more stumps is removed from the ground.' In Bosustow and Reynolds' case, the bails were not removed even as the ball hit the stump and knocked it out of place.&nbsp;

Rohit Sharma 'looks like he is bulky but...', Team India's strength and conditioning coach on fitness, Yo-Yo test

Team India's strength and conditioning coach Ankit Kaliyar looks after each player's fitness, diet and workout regime to help them give their best on field.&nbsp;

Questions have often been raised about Team India skipper Rohit Sharma's fitness, with several pointing out the difference between his and Virat Kohli's appearance.&nbsp; But the Men in Blue's strength and conditioning coach Ankit Kaliyar has put an end to all speculations.&nbsp; In a chat with The Times of India, Kaliyar likened Rohit's fitness to Kohli when asked about the Yo-Yo test parameters.&nbsp; 'Rohit Sharma is a fit player. He has good fitness. He looks a bit bulky but he always passes the Yo-Yo test. He is as fit as Virat Kohli. He looks like he is bulky but we have seen him on the field. His agility and mobility is amazing. He is among the fittest cricketers,' Kaliyar explained.&nbsp; In the same interview, the coach termed Virat Kohli as the 'fittest cricketer in the world' and credited him for instilling confidence and the urge to remain fit within the team.&nbsp;

I am not feeling the same excitement and passion playing cricket and neither do I have the same fitness levels required for international cricket: Asad Shafiq

Asad Shafiq announces retirement from all forms of cricket, set to become Pakistan selector

Pakistan Test batter Asad Shafiq has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after experiencing a dip in his passion for the game.

I am not feeling the same excitement and passion playing cricket and neither do I have the same fitness levels required for international cricket: Asad Shafiq

Pakistan Test batter Asad Shafiq has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after experiencing a dip in his passion for the game.
The 37-year-old made the announcement on Sunday.
&ldquo;I am not feeling the same excitement and passion playing cricket and neither do I have the same fitness levels required for international cricket. Which is why I have decided to say goodbye to all cricket,&rdquo; he told a press conference after leading Karachi Whites to the National T20 Championship title.
Asad also confirmed he was about to sign a contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board to be a paid national selector.
&ldquo;I have got the contract from the board and I am looking at it and hopefully it will be processed soon.&rdquo; He said working as a national selector was an exciting challenge for him and he would look to remain involved in the game.
Asad formed the backbone of the Pakistan Test batting line-up from 2010 to 2020 scoring 4660 runs in 77 games at a healthy average of 38.19 including 12 hundreds and 27 fifties.
Asad along with Azhar Ali, Younis Khan and Misbah ul Haq formed the core of Pakistan&rsquo;s Test batting.
After the spot-fixing scandal of 2010 in England, Asad was seen as the perfect image of Pakistan cricket, clean and non controversial and throughout his career he preferred to keep away from the media and limelight.
Asad also said he had never been pressured to take any decisions in his international cricket and he always did what he felt was best.
&ldquo;After being dropped in 2020 I kept on playing domestic cricket for three years yes in the hope of getting another crack at the Pakistan team. But before the start of this season I had decided this would be my last season because I felt that closing in on 38 years of age this was time to retire instead of people telling me to step down.&rdquo; Asad also said he was proud to have been part of the Pakistan team under Misbah ul Haq which helped clean the image of Pakistan cricket.
&ldquo;After the spot-fixing scandal in 2010 it was a very difficult time for Pakistan cricket and I am happy I was part of that process where we won back the confidence of the people in. Our team.
Asad, who also played 60 ODIs and 10 T20 Internationals, indirectly also admitted that perhaps in Pakistan cricket there was a tendency to select players on likes and dislikes.
Questioned whether he felt that players from Karachi were not given the same opportunities as those from other provinces, Asad interestingly didn&rsquo;t directly refuse this suggestion.

Rohit Sharma will have a big role to play to set up the No. 3,4,5. Whatever happens, this is Rohit Sharma's opportunity to make up for the World Cup final loss: Gavaskar

Rohit Sharma might have asked to be rested from the white-ball leg of the South Africa tour but the Hitman will be back to lead Team India in the Test series.
Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar feels that it will be a big opportunity for Rohit to make up for the World Cup loss.
During an interaction with Star Sports, Gavaskar said, 'Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were really at the peak of their powers in the last 6-8 months. Like Jacques Kallis said Rohit Sharma is going to be key for India in the Test series. Rohit Sharma will have a big role to play to set up the No. 3,4,5. Whatever happens, this is Rohit Sharma's opportunity to make up for the World Cup final loss.'
Rohit was last seen on the cricket field in the India vs Australia World Cup final on November 19. He skipped the T20I series vs the Aussies and also the limited-overs series in South Africa.
Suryakumar Yadav is leading the T20I team while KL Rahul was appointed as the captain for the ODI side in the absence of Rohit.
