ICC Eyes Big Changes In ODI Rule That Faced Massive Criticism From Sachin

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering altering the rules with the use of two new balls in ODI cricket in a bit to balance the game for bowlers. While this isn't a complete reversal of the current Playing Conditions (PCs), the potential change is designed to give bowlers an edge by reintroducing the possibility of reverse swing. Additionally, the ICC is exploring the introduction of in-game clocks for Test matches to help regulate over rates and is also evaluating the idea of transitioning the men's Under-19 World Cup to a T20 format, Cricbuzz reported. The recommendation is set to be reviewed during the ongoing ICC meetings in Zimbabwe. The proposal to phase out the second new ball in ODIs reportedly stems from the ICC Cricket Committee. As per the suggested change, teams would start with two new balls but would have to choose one to continue with from the 25-over mark onward.

Irfan Pathan Posts Cryptic Tweet. Fans Find Sarfaraz Khan Connection

The squad selection for Indian cricket team's upcoming tour of West Indies was met with mixed reactions from both fans and experts. While many of them lauded the selectors for adding some youth to the mix in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, the question remained over the exclusion of Sarfaraz Khan and the emphasis put on Indian Premier League (IPL) performances. The decision prompted reactions from a number of ex-cricketers who criticised the selectors for not considering performances on the domestic circuit. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan posted a cryptic tweet after the announcement and fans have found a connection with Sarfaraz Khan.

Pathan posted a Hindi song and asked his fans to write the name of the cricketer who comes to mind while listening to the song. “I know the answer and have spoken about him before but I would love to hear from you guys,” the caption read. 

Fans were quick to guess that Pathan was talking about Sarfaraz Khan. However, no confirmation was provided by the ex-cricketer and as a result, fans continued to post their own guesses.

Sarfaraz is going through a purple patch in his first-class cricket career. Sarfaraz has scored 3505 runs in 37 first-class matches. He has an outstanding average of 79.65 and has struck 13 hundreds. His highest knock is 301* in domestic games.

In List A cricket, he has scored 469 runs with an average of 39.08 in 26 matches. He also has two centuries in list A cricket.

In the 2022-23 Ranji Trophy season, Sarfaraz scored 556 runs with an impressive average of 92.66. He has also bagged three centuries in 6 matches.

The Mumbai batter was the leading run-scorer in the year 2022 where he had struck 982 runs with an average of 122.75 in six test matches. He had four hundred under his belt.

The very first attempt by the reigning world champion was a massive one and it looked that throw easily breached the 85m-mark.

Following his gold medal win, Neeraj opened up about his feelings regarding the controversial incident and what he felt could have been the reason behind the confusion. ( Asian Games Medals Tally ) "I was puzzled and confused, it has never happened in any competition I have competed in till now.
