Barring Uma Chetry, all the squad members who were part of an unsuccessful Asia Cup campaign in July have been retained for the marquee event beginning in the UAE on October 3.

Harmanpreet to lead tried and tested bunch at T20 World Cup as India look to end title drought

Barring Uma Chetry, all the squad members who were part of an unsuccessful Asia Cup campaign in July have been retained for the marquee event beginning in the UAE on October 3.

India on Tuesday named a tried and tested squad for the Women's T20 World Cup under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, hoping the experienced bunch takes the team to an elusive ICC trophy.
Barring Uma Chetry, all the squad members who were part of an unsuccessful Asia Cup campaign in July have been retained for the marquee event beginning in the UAE on October 3.
The competition was shifted to the UAE from Bangladesh following unrest in the South Asian nation owing to a student protest.
Spin all-rounder Shreyanka Patil and top-order batter Yastika Bhatia have been included in the squad subject to fitness. Shreyanka fractured her finger during the Asia Cup game against Pakistan while Bhatia is recovering from a knee injury.
Following the loss to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final, Kaur will be under pressure to lead her team to the coveted title. The men were finally to able get the monkey off their back and win an ICC title after an 11 year gap back in June.
The women, who too have all the resources at their disposal, would be expected to cross the finishing line on this occasion.
Kaur first captained the team in the 2018 edition and since then India has reached one final but it has largely been a story of missed opportunities.
Their biggest challenge will be to beat Australia as usual. Both teams are in the same group which also includes Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
On expected lines, the squad is loaded with spinners including Deepti Sharma, Asha Sobhana and Radha Yadav. The two specialist pacers are Renuka Singh and Arundhati Reddy while Pooja Vastrakar is the sole fast bowling all-rounder. Titas Sadhu is a notable name missing in the pace department.
"Given the players we have it's a good squad. Hope Yastika and Sheyanka get fit," former India captain Diana Edulji told PTI.
Star batter Smriti Mandhana has been named Kaur's deputy and like always will be the key at the top of the order.
Besides the thin fast bowling resources, India is also not a side full of power-hitters. Kaur and Richa Ghosh will be responsible for producing the big hits in the middle overs phase of the game.
India will open their campaign against New Zealand on October 4.

The T20 World Cup is scheduled in Bangladesh from October 3-20 with Harmanpreet banking on the Indian team's familiarity with the conditions to win the competition.

'Win against them will give us confidence': Harmanpreet Kaur predicts semifinalists of ICC Women's T20 WC

The T20 World Cup is scheduled in Bangladesh from October 3-20 with Harmanpreet banking on the Indian team's familiarity with the conditions to win the competition.

&nbsp;Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is confident that the Indian women's team will be one of the potential semi-finalists in this year's T20 World Cup and beating the 'Southern Stars' will go a long way in clinching its first maiden global title.
The T20 World Cup is scheduled in Bangladesh from October 3-20 with Harmanpreet banking on the Indian team's familiarity with the conditions to win the competition.
India have been drawn alongside six-time champions Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Group A for the ninth edition of the tournament, while Group B comprises South Africa, England, and 2016 champions West Indies, Bangladesh and Scotland.
Asked to predict the semifinalists, Harmanpreet, who recently led India to a 5-0 whitewash of Bangladesh in the T20I series in Sylhet, said, "India, Australia, England and South Africa. Because all these teams have been doing really well and hopefully these four can qualify for the semis so we can have very good cricket over there.
"I think it will be Australia (who I look forward to facing) because they are very competitive," Harmanpreet told ICC during a fixture launch event.
Though Harmanpreet's side has challenged Australian dominance of late, the rivals have come up trumps in global events, winning the Women's T20 World Cup final in 2020 as well as the Commonwealth Games final in 2022. Australia also defeated India in the 2023 T20 World Cup semifinal.
"If we do well against them, it will give us a lot of confidence and I'm really looking forward to playing against them," she added.
Harmanpreet also felt India's success in the recently-concluded 5-match series against the hosts had made them more familiar with the conditions.
"Yeah, it's a bit similar to India and hopefully, in these conditions, we should do well." India and Bangladesh have been involved in some intense rivalry of late and it was very much on show during the recently-concluded series. India has travelled to Bangladesh twice since the 2023 T20 World Cup -- in July last year for a three-match T20I series and an ODI series as well as the recent 5-match T20I series.
"Bangladesh will be the home team and they will know the conditions better than us. Obviously, the crowd will be supporting them. But playing against them is always an exciting event. And hopefully, we will do well against them," said Harmanpreet.
On India's so-near-yet-so-far experience in World Cups, Harmanpreet said, "I think in all the ICC events we have done well. The only thing is that we have lost a lot of close games. And this time hopefully all those close games if we can win and do well for the team."

WPL 2024: Harmanpreet Kaur's sensational 95 propel Mumbai Indians to 7-wicket win over Gujarat Giants

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur made a savage unbeaten 95 to fire Mumbai Indians to a 7-wicket win over shellshocked Gujarat Giants in their Women’s Premier League match on Saturday.

Harmanpreet's fiery 95 came in just 48 balls and contained 10 fours and 5 sixes as the defending champions scaled down Gujarat&rsquo;s 190/7 in a stunning chase.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur made a savage unbeaten 95 to fire Mumbai Indians to a 7-wicket win over shellshocked Gujarat Giants in their Women&rsquo;s Premier League match on Saturday.
Harmanpreet, whose blitz came in just 48 balls and contained 10 fours and 5 sixes, and opener Yastika Bhatia (49, 36 balls) played fine hands as the defending champions scaled down Gujarat&rsquo;s 190/7 in a stunning chase.
They reached 191/3 with a ball to spare.
Yastika and her opening partner Hayley Matthews (18) added 50 runs in 6.3 overs as MI made a strong start to their chase.
But Mumbai lost Nat-Sciver Brunt and Bhatia before they even reached 100 inside 13.3 overs.
When the match entered the last five-over phase, MI needed 72 runs off 30 balls to win at more than 14 runs per over.
Tough task, you would imagine. But Harmanpreet, who was dropped on 40 by Phoebe Litchfield off Sneh Rana near the ropes, turned on the beast mode from that point and took it upon herself to take her team past the tape.
She went on a boundary-hitting spree and added 93 runs for the fourth wicket in just 38 balls with Amelia Kerr, who made just 12 in that partnership.
Harmanpreet smashed off-spinner Rana for 24 runs in the 18th over through a sequence of 6, 4, 4, 6, to reduce the equation to a much more manageable 23 runs off 12.
Mumbai did not bungle from there and notched up a win that has taken them to the top of the chart with 10 points.
Earlier, dynamic fifties by skipper Beth Mooney and D Hemalatha propelled Gujarat Giants to a competitive 190/7.
Mooney (66, 35b, 8x4, 3x6) and Hemalatha (74, 40b, 9x4, 2x6) added 121 runs for an electrifying second-wicket alliance in a little over 11 overs after the Gujarat side elected to bat first.
Their power walk started after the early departure of opener Laura Wolvaardt (13), who was cleaned up by Matthews.
Both Mooney, who struck his second fifty in a row, and Hemalatha slipped into overdrive straightaway.
While Hemalatha was severe on MI spinners, the veteran Mooney focused on the opposition pacers.
A straight six of pacer Brunt and back-to-back fours off Shabnim Ismail, who recently breached the 130 kmph-barrier, helped Mooney to chug along at a scoring rate of over 200.
The introduction pacer Pooja Vastrakar prompted Mooney to take her batting to another level as two scoops behind wicketkeeper gave her as many maximums.
At the other end, Hemalatha picked up leg-spinner Kerr for punishment as the right-hander smashed her for 4, 6, 4 in the 10th over to collect 15 runs.
Mooney reached her fifty in 27 balls and minutes later Hemalatha too crossed the mark off 28 balls as the Giants moved ahead in a brisk clip.
But the dismissal of Mooney in the 14th over, right after the Strategic Time Out, applied breaks on Gujarat's scoring.
The attempt to pull off-spinner Sajana Sajeevan made her hear the deathly clatter of stumps.
Hemalatha soon fell to Ismail as the Gujarat side lost four wickets while adding 28 runs.

Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said on Thursday that the defending champions have been trying to keep their own expectation level to a minimum and focus on the WPL opener against Delhi Capitals.

We're trying not to expect too much from ourselves: MI captain Harmanpreet

Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said on Thursday that the defending champions have been trying to keep their own expectation level to a minimum and focus on the WPL opener against Delhi Capitals.

Mumbai Indians skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said on Thursday that the defending champions have been trying to keep their own expectation level to a minimum and focus on the WPL opener against Delhi Capitals.
Mumbai will face-off with Delhi here on Friday in a repeat of the last year's final, which was held in Mumbai.
"We just kept our preparations very simple. We are trying not to expect too much from ourselves and doing too many things. That was our approach last year too and we want to continue that. We are feeling very confident going into this match and tournament," said Harmanpreet in her pre-match press meet.
One reason for that, Harmanpreet felt, was the Mumbai Indians' extensive pre-tournament camp held in their home turf.
"We used the facilities in Mumbai ahead of the WPL. We played a few practice games as well, so that we could try some new combinations and the players too get a chance to work upon their game.
"We feel that we are ready for the game. Last year, we had to do extra team-bonding sessions and this time we got some more time on the field training," she said. "In that sense, we also got a chance to look at the new girls who have joined this year and we have got a good team balance and we are very confident." Amanjot Kaur is one of the new recruits of the Mumbai side this year, and Harmanpreet hoped that the left-arm wrist spinner can boost her side's bowling unit.
"I have not seen any other woman cricketer who bowls left-arm wrist spin. She is a good pick for us. You need variety in T20 cricket and sometimes the batters get used to your regular bowlers.
"She is someone who has played more than 30 domestic games this year and played well in them too. She looked confident in our practice games too," she said.
Mumbai have also signed veteran pacer Shabnim Ismail from the player auction last year, and Harmanpreet said the South African will complement young pace-bowling all-rounder Issy Wong this season.
"She is a great player and she has done well for her country and whichever leagues that she plays for. She brings in a lot of experience and she is someone who can bowl with good pace and that's what we have been looking for.
"Last year, Issy Wong gave us a lot of balance, and now this year we have another option in Shabnim. Her presence gives us that extra cushioning in bowling," she noted.

<h2>With India making a return to the Test arena after September 2021, Harmanpreet Kaur said as players they desire to appear in more long-format matches but the administrators have to make the final call.</h2>

Without hiding her desire to see more Tests being played in women's cricket space, captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Wednesday admitted that India will have to play a lead role to make it a reality through consistent performances.
After a gap of nearly nine years, India will be playing a Test at home when they take on England in a one-off match here at the DY Patil Stadium.
India's last Test at home took place in November 2014 against South Africa at Mysore.
&ldquo;Talking about women's cricket, it is improving day-by-day In India. A lot of people are coming to watch the match which we saw in the last T20Is,&rdquo; Kaur told the media on the eve of the match.
&ldquo;Everyone in the world...they want to play in India. In India, things are changing quickly when it comes to cricket. A lot of people are extending their love and we are also trying to improve. We have an opportunity to take women&rsquo;s cricket as high as we can.
&ldquo;I know that a lot hinges on the Indian cricket team when it comes to women's cricket. The way the approach is changing in India concerning women&rsquo;s cricket, obviously, we have a lot in our hands,&rdquo; Kaur added.
With India making a return to the Test arena after September 2021, Kaur said as players they desire to appear in more long-format matches but the administrators have to make the final call.
&ldquo;As players we want to play more and more Test games. It is ICC and (the) board's call to take up,&rdquo; she said.
Kaur said she was feeling better after twisting her foot in the third T20I against England.
&ldquo;There was a little bit of soreness but I am feeling better now,&rdquo; Kaur said.
Kaur said the switch between white and the red ball formats, given there was only a three-day break between the T20Is and the Test, would be challenging for the players.
&ldquo;I know, after (playing) white ball cricket it will be a little challenging. The bowling unit got 10-15 days to prepare. They understood how the red ball behaves. As batting and bowling units we have tried to cover up as much as we could,&rdquo; she said.
Kaur said changing the mindset quickly would be beneficial.
&ldquo;We want to play positive cricket and that is something that we have discussed in the team meeting as well. It is all about (the) mind game.
We cannot keep thinking that we played a Test match two years ago and some girls are new in the side. The only change is that the (colour of) the ball has changed but the approach will be the same,&rdquo; she said.
"The field placements and bowling can be attacking and we have discussed about winning the sessions too. Hopefully, whatever we have prepared in the last two days, we will be able to execute it in the middle,&rdquo; she said.
Kaur admitted to feeling &lsquo;butterflies in the stomach&rsquo; as this will be the first time she would be leading the country in Tests.
&ldquo;Butterflies are always there, no matter how much you have played. There is always excitement and nervousness when you go to the ground. When you play one ball, you get totally involved in the game,&rdquo; she said.
&ldquo;(The) last Test I missed because of injury and this time there is an opportunity to lead the team. The talk has been about being positive and playing with excitement,&rdquo; Kaur added.
With domestic stalwart Amol Muzumdar in charge as head coach, Kaur said his message to the players has been simple &mdash; stick with their respective games.
&ldquo;The best thing he said was, go with your best batting style and don&rsquo;t think about changing it because it is red-ball cricket,&rdquo; she said.
&ldquo;If you are an aggressive batter, play aggressively. If you like to build your innings, then do that. You need not think about too many things,&rdquo; she added.&nbsp;

Harmanpreet had a brilliant WBBL 2021-22 season with Renegades, scoring 406 runs in 12 innings at an average of 58.00. She also smashed 3 half-centuries.

Haramanpreet Kaur: no regret over Dhaka outburst

Indian women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur said on Sunday that she has no regret over her temperamental outburst during the third ODI against Bangladesh last month in Dhaka.

"I don't think I said anything wrong to any player or any person. I just said what happened on the field. I don't regret anything," Harmanpreet repeated.

Indian women&rsquo;s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur said on Sunday that she has no regret over her temperamental outburst during the third ODI against Bangladesh last month in Dhaka.
Harmanpreet was banned for two matches after she smashed the stumps over the umpire's decision to give her out.
Later in the post-match presentation, she had also termed the umpiring "pathetic" during the bilateral series.
Following the ban, Harmanpreet will miss India&rsquo;s first two T20I matches at the Hanghzou Asian Games in September-October.
"I will not say that I regret anything because at the end of the day as a player you want to see that fair things are happening. As a player, you always have the right to express yourself and what you're feeling," she was quoted as saying by The Cricket Paper during the Women&rsquo;s Hundred.
Harmanpreet is playing for Trent Rockets in the tournament.
"I don't think I said anything wrong to any player or any person. I just said what happened on the field. I don't regret anything," she repeated.
Apart from the ban, Harmanpreet was also slapped with three demerit points for &ldquo;showing dissent at an umpiring decision&rdquo; and one more for &ldquo;public criticism&rdquo; of match officials.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian skipper, has called for the women's team to play more Tests, giving way to an improvement in the players' game. 

Women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur wants India to play more Tests

Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian skipper, has called for the women's team to play more Tests, giving way to an improvement in the players' game.&nbsp;

The Indian women's cricket team will be playing just two Tests in 2023-24, one versus Australia and one versus England, &nbsp;and captain Harmanpreet Kaur believes that the number of Test fixtures for Team India should be increased. Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Harmanpreet said, 'This year we have two Tests - one against England and one against Australia - and I hope those games can make a huge impact on women's cricket and hopefully in the future we will keep getting more Test matches.' She emphasised the importance of the longest format in women's cricket saying, 'As a player, I definitely want more Tests because as a growing kid, we saw more Tests on TV than T20s. Nowadays, it's a lot of fun playing T20s but Test cricket is something every cricketer wants to play.' India last played a Test in 2021 against Australia. Harmanpreet called for more games and reasoned that there will be more improvement in women's cricket with a rise in the number of games and added that she wishes to see more talent in the Indian side.

Harmanpreet Kaur's Asian Games 2023 participation hinges on whether India can reach final

Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been banned for 2 matches by the ICC for her recent outburst, can only feature in the final of the #AsianGames2023

#Harmanpreet

<h2>Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been banned for 2 matches by the ICC for her recent outburst, cannot feature in the quarterfinal and the semifinal of the Asian Games.</h2>

Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur will have a chance to participate in the Asian Games 2023 only if her team manages to reach the final of the prestigious event.
The participating teams for both men's and women's events, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, will directly enter the quarterfinals based on their ICC T20I ranking on June 1. All matches in the tournament will hold official T20I status.
Unfortunately, Harmanpreet, who received a two-match ban for her public outburst after an ODI game against Bangladesh recently, will be ineligible to play in the quarter-final, which is likely to be against an associate nation. Following that, if India proceeds to the semi-final, it will face a full-member nation.
Likewise, the men's team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad has also received a direct entry into the quarter-final based on their ICC T20 ranking on June 1.
The women's competition will feature 14 teams and is set to begin on September 19, culminating with the gold and bronze medal matches on September 26.
On the other hand, the men's event, comprising 18 teams, will kick off on September 28, and the final is scheduled for October 7, two days after the commencement of the men's ICC 50-over World Cup in Ahmedabad.
In the event that the Indian cricket team qualifies for the final, it will face the challenging task of playing on three consecutive days: October 5 (quarter-final), October 6 (semi-final), and October 7 (final).

<h2>BCCI secretary Jay Shah says the board will not appeal against the ICC decision to suspend Harmanpreet Kaur for two matches.</h2>

BCCI President Roger Binny and NCA's Head of cricket, VVS Laxman are set to hold discussions with women's team captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, regarding her recent outbursts during the ODIs against Bangladesh. &ldquo;Roger Binny and Laxman will question Harmanpreet on her outbursts during the third ODI against Bangladesh,&rdquo; BCCI secretary Jay Shah told media outlets in Delhi.
Harmanpreet Kaur's on-field behavior during the third and final ODI against Bangladesh has drawn significant criticism. Following her dismissal, she expressed her frustration by smashing the stumps and continued her tirade during the post-match presentation. Moreover, Kaur's conduct also included mocking the umpires and Bangladeshi players during the trophy presentation.
In response to this incident, the ICC imposed a two-match suspension on Kaur, a decision that the BCCI will not appeal against.
The discussions with BCCI President Roger Binny and NCA Chief VVS Laxman aim to address the concerns surrounding Kaur's behavior during the matches against Bangladesh. The meeting comes after a series of discussions with state unit officials in New Delhi.

It's confirmed!
Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has been suspended by the ICC for 2 matches.

#Harmanpreet #AsianGames2023 #ICC

<h2>Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is all set to miss 2 knockout games in the 2023 Asian Games due to her 2-match suspension.</h2>

India's women's cricket team captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, has been suspended for the next two international matches due to two separate breaches of the ICC Code of Conduct.
Harmanpreet's suspension means the Indian skipper will miss crucial knockout matches during the Asian Games in Hangzhou next month.
The 2-match suspension was on account of Harmanpreet accumulating 4 demerit points in two separate incidents in the final ODI of the ICC Women's Championship series against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
In the first incident, Kaur expressed frustration after her dismissal by hitting the wickets with her bat, leading to a Level 2 offence and a fine of 50 percent of her match fee along with three demerit points.
The second breach, where she publicly criticised the umpires during the presentation ceremony, resulted in a Level 1 offence with a 25 percent match fee fine and one demerit point.
Since Kaur admitted to the offences and agreed to the punishment, there was no need for a formal hearing.&nbsp;

'What happened post-game was not needed, all the more because Harmanpreet is the Indian captain. She has set a bad example for her teammates.'

Ex-India star & BCCI administrator Diana Edulji disappointed by Harmanpreet Kaur's behaviour

'I have never seen anyone behave the way Harmanpreet Kaur did after the game. What happened in Bangladesh was uncalled for,' Diana Edulji wrote.

Here is her full statement

'What happened post-game was not needed, all the more because Harmanpreet is the Indian captain. She has set a bad example for her teammates.'

Harmanpreet Kaur's behaviour after the drawn ODI series vs Bangladesh received a lot of flak from former cricketers and Diana Edulji is the latest to criticise the Indian women's cricket team captain.
In her column for the Indian Express, the former India cricketer and BCCI administrator Diana, wrote that she was disturbed by the visuals from India vs Bangladesh ODI.
'I have been watching cricket for a long time but have never seen anyone behave the way India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur did after the game. What happened in Bangladesh was uncalled for,' she added.
'What happened post-game was not needed, all the more because Harmanpreet is the Indian captain. She has set a bad example for her teammates. I say that because juniors look up to seniors and this, over a period of time, can impact the team culture. This makes Harmanpreet&rsquo;s behaviour all the more unacceptable,' Diana further stated.

The charges against Harmanpreet Kaur for her comments on match officials has been pressed by ICC international panel match referee Akter Ahmed, who is also from Bangladesh.

The charges against Harmanpreet Kaur for her comments on match officials has been pressed by ICC international panel match referee Akter Ahmed, who is also from Bangladesh.

&nbsp;Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur could well miss first two games in the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games on charges of equipment abuse and public criticism of match officials after the tied third ODI against Bangladesh on July 22.
Harmanpreet was adjudged leg before off a Nahida Akter delivery while trying to sweep but she claimed that she got a bottom edge and in a fit of rage shattered the stumps before walking back to the pavilion.
Later at the post match presentation ceremony, she termed the level of umpiring as "pathetic" and also sarcastically asked the umpires to be called to join the teams for trophy ceremony.
Her boorish behaviour had prompted Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana to walk away with her team and urge her Indian counterpart to learn some "manners".
"There is still some deliberation going on whether she should get three demerit points or four as there are two charges -- match equipment abuse and criticism of match officials.
"In case there are four demerit points in a space of 24 months, you either miss a Test or two limited over games -- in this case first two games of Asiad. In case, it is three, then she will only cop financial penalty," a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
The charges against Harmanpreet has been pressed by ICC international panel match referee Akter Ahmed, who is also from Bangladesh.
Both teams were locked at identical score of 225 and three-match ODI series ended in a 1-1 draw.

Harmanpreet Kaur openly called out the on-field umpire for poor decision-making and was later reprimanded by the ICC

Harmanpreet Kaur's on-field outburst: A lookback at other unforgettable player-umpire clashes | IND v BAN

Harmanpreet Kaur might be receiving a lot of flak for her behaviour during the 3rd ODI vs Bangladesh but she is not the first cricketer to be involved in such an incident.

Here are a few such episodes with one of them even involving captain cool MS Dhoni.

<h2>Harmanpreet Kaur openly called out the on-field umpires for poor decision-making and was later reprimanded by the ICC.</h2>

Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has been at the receiving end for her behaviour after a tied ODI series vs Bangladesh was deemed unacceptable. She openly called out the on-field umpire for poor decision-making and was later reprimanded by the ICC.
But it's not the first time that a player got involved in a heated exchange with the umpire. Let's look back at other instances of player-umpire bust-ups from the past.
Team India and Steve Bucknor
The Australian summer of 2008 was probably the hottest of them all, not just because of the weather but because of what transpired between India and Australia in the Test series.
Steve Bucknor, the official umpire for the series was removed by the ICC after the 2nd Test as Team India made it clear that they would only continue the series if he wasn't officiating.
Bucknor made a couple of howlers in the Sydney Test which cost India the match.&nbsp;
The West Indian umpire later even admitted to his mistakes and said that the howlers haunted him after retirement.
Michael Clarke and Aleem Dar
A list of scuffles between cricketers and umpires would be incomplete without the Aussies. During a Test match of the 2013 Ashes series, Australian skipper Michael Clarke was involved in a heated exchange with on-field umpire Aleem Dar.
With the light fading away quickly, Clarke wanted the final day to be called off but he was left fuming when the umpires took longer than usual to call for the light meter. Clarke was then seen exchanging words with Aleem Dar as the umpire kept him away using his left hand.
Remembering the incident, the then-Aussie captain said, 'I remember Aleem touching me and I asked him politely to not touch me because if I touched him I&rsquo;d be suspended for three matches.'
Shakib Al Hasan loses his temper over the umpire
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has had a few disciplinary issues with the umpires.
In the first of such incidents, Shakib lost his cool twice in a Dhaka Premier League match in 2021. After his LBW appeal against Mushfiqur Rahim was turned down, Shakib first kicked the stumps.
In the next over, he was once again left frustrated with a decision and angrily uprooted the stumps and threw them into the turf. He was slapped with a 3-match ban and a fine after the match.
MS Dhoni walks onto the pitch in IPL
MS Dhoni is known for his calmness but the ice man also lost his cool during an IPL match.&nbsp;
During a Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match in IPL 2019, Dhoni charged towards the umpire from the team dugout, which was rather uncharacteristic of MSD.
CSK needed 18 runs off the last over and Ben Stokes bowled a high full toss to Mitchell Santner but the on-field umpire first signalled it as a no-ball but changed his decision after consulting with the square-leg umpire.
This left Dhoni baffled and he charged towards the pitch and exchanged a few words with the umpire.
The delivery was eventually deemed legal. However, replays later showed that it was a waist-high no-ball.

With the presenter calling Harmanpreet Kaur as Jemimah by mistake, the Indian captain corrected him in style.

<h2>With the presenter calling Harmanpreet Kaur as Jemimah by mistake, the Indian captain corrected him in style.</h2>

While Jemimah Rodrigues shone with both bat and ball in India's victory in the 2nd ODI against Bangladesh, it was Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur who grabbed the spotlight with her savage response during the post-match presentation.
When the presenter mistakenly referred to Harmanpreet as Jemimah, the 34-year-old delivered a 'mic-drop' moment with a sharp correction, stating, "Harmanpreet Kaur. Thank you!" Her confident and direct reply left the audience amazed and amused.
The presenter promptly apologized, saying, "Harmanpreet, beg your pardon," acknowledging the mix-up.
