Deepak Chahar, who will make a comeback for the upcoming ODI series against Zimbabwe starting August 18, claimed that he could have made his comeback a few weeks ago and could have been part of the squad for the West Indies T20I series.
During a chat with News24, the pacer said that he could have made an international return but his thought process was to always give his 110%. 'Don't even play at 99 per cent. I believe I should be able to perform better than the time before I got injured,' added Deepak.
Chahar has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury in February. The 29-year-old CSK all-rounder missed the entire 2022 season of the IPL 2022 and the series against South Africa and the tour of England.

Sunil Gavaskar seems pretty angry with Australia and England boards blaming the IPL for disrupting the international cricket calendar.
in his column for Sportstar, the former India captain told the old cricketing powerhouses to look into their own cricket interests and not to tell India what to do. 'We will look after our interests and do it better than what you tell us to do,' Gavaskar wrote.
'The moment the news about the South African T20 league and the UAE T20 league came out, the ‘old powers’ started squirming and got their apologists to have a go at the IPL,' he added.
The 73-year-old claimed that England and Australia are worried about the scheduling as the new tournaments might clash with their T20 leagues.

It's been 9 months since India's men's cricket team last played against Pakistan but fans may be in for a bonanza as the two sides might play against each other not once, not twice but thrice at the upcoming Asia Cup.
The Men in Blue resume their rivalry against the arch-rivals with the group A game on August 28. Since top 2 out of the 3 teams of this group go through to the Super 4s, it's more than likely that India and Pakistan will beat the 3rd qualifying side and will face off once again on September 4 in the next stage.
Apart from that, both sides will then take on 2 teams which will qualify from Group B, consisting of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. Since the top 2 teams from the Super 4 stage will directly play in the final, the possibility of India playing against Pakistan for the 3rd time in the tournament is high.

Even though Virat Kohli has been rested for India’s tour of the West Indies, the talks around his form refuse to die down.
A few days back, legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev caused quite a stir by calling for Virat's omission from India's Playing XI.
However, Kohli got the backing from Australian veteran Ricky Ponting and now former pacer Ajit Agarkar too has voiced his support for the senior batter. Agarkar, who has represented Team India in more than 200 matches across all three formats, deemed the discussion of dropping Kohli as premature.

33-year-old Kohli has been rested for the ongoing white-ball series against West Indies and is likely to return to India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, which will be played in the UAE.

Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh recently made their India debut and there have been a lot of discussions that which one of these two young pacers would be a good choice for the Indian national side. Former India cricketer Aakash Copra has put his views saying that Arshdeep is a better option than Umran as the Punjab Kings bowler is more mature and experienced. 
Notably, Umran debuted in a T20I against Ireland, and Arshdeep made his first appearance in the shortest format of cricket for team India against England. 
Umran has played 3 T20I for India in which he has taken 2 wickets conceding 112 runs with an economy of 12.44. Meanwhile, Arshdeep has played just 1 T20I and 2/18 was his final figure in that match.  
In a video on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Umran is not ready for international cricket as of now. Umran is special and has an extreme pace that others don’t have but one can’t teach him how to bowl with the speed, the former-Indian cricketer added. 
Earlier, many other cricket pundits also put their opinions on the topic. While English cricketer Michael Vaughan suggested that BCCI should send Umran to play county cricket, Virender Sehwag said that if Umran is used efficiently, he will be an asset to the Team.

Should Umran Malik play Tests before featuring in T20Is & ODIs for India?

Ex-cricketer Aakash Chopra believes Umran Malik is not ready for international cricket. The selectors too have dropped him from the national squad. But how can India make the best use of this once-in-a-generation bowler? We decipher.


Should Umran Malik play Tests before featuring in limited-overs cricket for India?

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes Umran Malik is not ready for international cricket yet. According to Chopra, Arshdeep Singh is a more complete bowler in comparison to the 'Jammu Express'.

Ever since the Jammu Express, Umran Malik, made his international debut for Team India, he has been the talk of the town.
While some were thrilled by his lethal pace, some believe he&rsquo;s still very raw to be playing cricket on the biggest stage.
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra recently shared his views regarding Umran Malik&rsquo;s selection to the national side. He compared India&rsquo;s two new debutants in the past month - Umran and Arshdeep. Chopra stated that for him, Arshdeep is a better option than Umran. In the 3 T20Is that Umran has played till now, he has picked up 2 wickets but his economy of 12.44 is extraordinarily high.
And Chopra put out a video on his Youtube channel, where he said that Umran is not ready for international cricket as of now.
Many other cricket pundits had also shared their opinion on Umran in recent times. While English cricketer Michael Vaughan wanted BCCI to send Umran to play county cricket earlier this summer, Virender Sehwag had said that if Umran is used effectively, he will be an asset to the team.
There&rsquo;s another school of thought which believes that ushering Umran into international cricket should be done through Tests instead of limited-overs cricket since there's more room for error in the longest format.
In Tests, with batsmen usually playing with a defensive mindset, Umran can be groomed to withstand the pressure of international cricket in a controlled manner.
His lethal pace no doubt is a gift but India needs to figure out the best way to utilise it. And maybe, helping him settle into the Test side first may do wonders for his confidence.
Umran is truly a once-in-a-generation bowler but like all diamonds require polishing, he needs the right guidance to realise his true potential.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are often seen backing each other in press conferences but things were a little different a couple of years back.
There were rumours of a rift between the two Indian heavyweights and the BCCI had to step in to bring the two cricketers on the same page.
BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal told veteran journalist Vimal Kumar on his YouTube channel that the whole idea of who is the better batter between the two has only stemmed from the public and through social media, and that the board does not differentiate between Kohli and Rohit.
'Fans speak their hearts out because there are no restrictions. That is why people think that a rift persists,' added Dhumal. He pointed out that they saw the same with Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, or later between Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar. 'On social media, matters amplify to an extent that people believe all this is true,' Dhumal further elaborated.
Virat Kohli is going through a lean patch and Rohit Sharma recently defended the former India captain not once but twice, saying that they don't drop Kohli as they have faith in his ability and that Virat is a great batter and does not need reassurance.

Team management's decision to open the innings with Suryakumar Yadav in the T20 series vs the West Indies may have raised a few eyebrows but after a couple of low scores, the prolific batter owned the opening slot in the 3rd T20I.
He was rewarded for a consistent show in the shortest format, which saw him smash a hundred vs England in July, as Surya jumped 3 places to attain a career-best T20I ranking of number 2 in the newly released ICC T20I rankings for batters.
Babar Azam though continues to be at the top spot but if things go well, Suryakumar Yadav will dethrone the Pakistan skipper by the end of the series vs the Windies. India still has 2 more T20I to play before the Asia Cup while Pakistan doesn't play any Twenty Twenty games before that. With Babar just 2 points ahead of Surya on the table, things might change very quickly.

D’Arcy Short replaces injured Sean Abbott for ODI series vs India

Cricket Australia has called in&nbsp;D&rsquo;Arcy Short as a replacement for an injured&nbsp;Sean Abbott for the 3-match&nbsp;ODI series vs India starting January 14th.&nbsp;Abbott has been ruled out due to a side strain which the fast bowler suffered during the Big Bash League. Though the Australian management has replaced a seamer&nbsp;with a top-order batsman, but with pacers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Kane Richardson already in the squad, it could be a blessing in disguise for the Kangaroos.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced the squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 on Monday.
While Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have returned to the side, Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel will be missing due to injury. Deepak Hooda and Ravichandran Ashwin have also been named in the Rohit Sharma-led Indian squad. 
Arshdeep Singh has been retained for the Asia Cup, Avesh Khan will also be given a chance when India begins their campaign on August 27 in UAE.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be seen leading the fast bowling UNIT, while the responsibility of the spin department will be on the shoulders of Ravi Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal. Kuldeep Yadav however could not find a place in the 15-member squad.  
BCCI has named Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and Deepak Chahar as standby. 
India's full squad: Rohit Sharma (Capt ), KL Rahul (VC), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar, Deepak Hooda, R Pant (wk), Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, R Jadeja, R Ashwin, Y Chahal, R Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar, Arshdeep, Avesh.

The BCCI selectors are set to announce the Indian squad and looks like India’s pace spearhead won’t be a part of it. According to news agency PTI, BCCI don’t want to risk Bumrah ahead of the T20 World Cup.
The Indian pacer last featured for India in their ODI series victory over England. Bumrah is expected to undergo rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru ahead of the home series against Australia & South Africa.

While Shreyas Iyer made 64 off 40 opening the innings, Hooda scored 38 off 25 balls. A few lusty blows towards the end from the lower-middle order helped India post 188.
In reply, the Men from the Caribbean couldn’t survive the trial by spin. No batsman apart from Shimron Hetmyer could cope with the trio of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav & Ravi Bishnoi, who picked up all 10 wickets.
While Hetmyer did manage a fifty for his efforts, the next best score for the Indies was just 13. They were bowled out for exactly 100, losing the match by 88 runs and the series 4-1.
