Shubman GIll's dominant display at Edgbaston last July, where he scored 430 runs across two innings against England, has won him the Wisden Trophy for the outstanding individual performance of the year , i would much rather see him win a some test series as captain instead of the individual awards

Shubman GIll's dominant display at Edgbaston last July, where he scored 430 runs across two innings against England, has won him the Wisden Trophy for the outstanding individual performance of the year , i would much rather see him win a some test series as captain instead of the individual awards 

Just 26 years old with a long career ahead of him, I am expecting he could learn from his mistakes and do much better in upcoming matches. Even now, the Indian Test format squad is not like they were a few years back due to the popularity of IPL every youngster wants a spot in IPL. Few players have enough potential to represent India in all formats Shubman Gill is one of them.

Now, in the near future, they have no test matches, still it's a good time for them to work out their players for this format. Despite a few problems, India is still in the top 3 teams in all formats. This is good for them and their system they are keeping things on a good level by having these spots.

Only thing that I would say is that the competition is extremely tough for Shubman Gill. And the most interesting part is that the real competition to him is not coming from players such as Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal or Sanju Samson. It comes from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Vaibhav's entry has created a lot of chaos in team selection. Once he makes his debut, the available slots at the top of the order will automatically get reduced. Middle order can accommodate a few players, especially since the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But Gill can't fit in middle order.

To be fair to the unlimited talent India have at the moment emerging through IPL, Shubman Gill does not get an automatic selection in the T20 playing eleven as there is a long list of talented youngsters who can handle all the positions at the top of the order, Shubman Gill should stick with Test and ODI unless we see some consistent extraordinary T20 innings.

To be honest, my expectations were always higher from Shubman Gill and I mainly expressed that he can perform best in T20 format but if we look at the stats of his performance in T20 format in total, we cannot see much.
So I will say that since he has mainly skills or ability to perform better in ODI and Test formats, it would be better for him to keep these two formats as his primary target for his team and his career to achieve better.

Due to their understanding and intelligent performing every player is fixed in some place and the performing of the top players of IPL including Virat Kohli and he is giving a lot of power to his team RCB in IPL and he also has a very nice role in their win. Apart from this, some other players are also standing in their place on the crest of their power. Apart from this, Suryananshi is also at the top with his struggling in IPL 2026, in every era some youngsters add themselves to some or the other record with their skills and some players of this year have also joined it. Every player is nice in some or the other field, some players are powerful in their performing in Test or One Day International games and some players improve their capital with super try in T20. The performing of RCB and CSK has been outstanding among the players of this year and their try will be seen a lot at the end of this league.

He is an elgang player for sure but he can't manage the destructive style of modernday cricket that made 200 strike rate as the par rate and there is more than enough players are waiting for the opportunity means I don't see Gill is getting into Indian T20 ever again, even if he can give a few of inings in Bilateral series it won't be enough to choose him over Jaiswal.

Test games be played in this field up to 10 and it is not a very friendly pitch and the players of these teams are making the aim nice by collecting runs with nice performing and intelligence. Why don't the players play so nice in test games and super for the powerful of the aim. SL A is also one of them and often in test games people say that runs are scored more but in all the test games I have seen so far I have not seen their performing above 400. Curtis Heaphy has played very nice and he has added 144 runs and is still holding his wicket. Tim Robinson has done his duty by collecting 130 runs and with this try the aim of SL A has been destroyed. The game is still going live and NZ A is only a few runs closer to this aim and the rest of their players will complete this aim in a few sixer.  How can we ignore the bowling of all the players of SL A? With their kindness, NZ A will be able to win this innings.

In this first unofficial test between Sri Lanka A and New Zealand A, Sri Lanka A scored 381 runs on the first day and tried their best to put pressure on the other team in the first innings. The Land team has also come forward with full preparation. They have only one player out and they have scored 199 and at the speed they are going it is hoped that the target will be completed but nothing can be said until the match is completed because anything can happen in it. But when this match restarts tomorrow the New Zealand team will have to score 182 runs. Now let's see if their team can score this or not. But they had achieved this target in the first 97 overs and the New Zealand team's 60 overs have passed and they have scored 200 runs. But in this match, overs have no importance until all the players are out. But so far, Sonal Dinusha, who scored 108 runs, has not scored this score against any other team.  The player has not yet done so.

Also Lahiru Udara played well, she scored 61 runs in 90 balls. Remaining other players added their runs. On the other hand New Zealand A team aslo showed brilliant performance more than Sri Lanka team. They chased the given total and made more runs. Curtis Heaphy and Tim Robinson played well. They made century. In 2nd inning Sri Lanka A  team made 168 run in 49 over and lost 4 wicket. Since they were playing slow then the match drawn after 2nd 1st inning. Sri Lanka A team bowling performance remained well in both innings. But the decision could not be made in favor of anyone and then match had drawn.

Curtis Heaphy and Tim Robinson scored centuries for the Kiwis under very challenging conditions. That should put them in the radar of the New Zealand selectors, but breaking into the national squad is not going to be easy. Lankan A team looked quite sub-standard, especially in the bowling department. And this points to issues with the player pool. If someone in the senior squad gets injured, then there may not be enough bench players to replace them. Overall, this match was pretty disappointing for the Lankans. Sonal Dinusha scored a century, and that was the lone bright spot.

Anderson has had an electric start to the Championship, and is currently leading the wicket-taking charts. He has 21 wickets at 12.09 from his first three games of the season, having inspired Lancashire to a win last week with a devastating spell on the final day, and sealing the victory by effecting a run-out.

After he was retired by England at the start of the 2024 summer, Anderson committed to playing county cricket for Lancashire. He took 17 wickets in six games last season, and is set to turn 44 years old during this summer.

The performance of the SL A players was very better and played with struggle. They played very well in the 50 over innings and gave a better target which led to their winning. Their 3 players who were playing fast and hard were working hard to strengthen this target and they played with this struggle and achieved this won with their performance. The NZ A players were not playing well in this game owing to which they lost by 140 runs and it was owing to their luck and pressure. The SLA team also scored runs quickly in batting and the bowler put pressure and improved the target and achieved the winning. Congratulations to SLA on this win and their strength in this better game performance is getting better. NZ A will also have to improve their performance so that they play better in the next games.

The player who has left his super and powerful past and joined a game like county should not let his performing and power die. James Anderson is the first player who has kept the record of 704 wickets in his pocket in Test cricket. He has played only 188 games against so many wickets and his agility and cunning are seen in the way he has put wickets in his pocket and been powerful. He has tested his power wherever he has found himself and he has passed this test. He has played quite nice in County cricket too and by playing more seasons he can become a valuable player there and his power in this too can be super and touch the sky. Now he is old but he knows the passion of cricket within him and he shows his super performing in cricket.

I still remember how he was forced into retirement by the ECB. By the time of his retirement, he was their best bowler. The combination of James Anderson and Stuart Broad was what kept them competitive against strong teams like Australia and India. With Mark Wood being out due to injury, and younger bowlers such as Matthew Potts, Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson not living up to the expectations, England is no longer competitive against the pig-3. Anderson will soon be 44 years old, but I am constantly surprised by his fitness levels. I guess he will continue to play for Lancashire, at least for the next couple of years.

Jeremiah Louis has been discharged from hospital after scans returned clear results on Wednesday, but the Leeward Islands medical team, which has been in communication with Cricket West Indies (CWI), will continue to monitor him closely over the next 48 hours.

Louis, the Leeward Islands seamer and No. 9 batter, was struck on the helmet by Trinidad & Tobago fast bowler Jayden Seales on the third morning of the West Indies Championship match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, and the game was abandoned soon after owing to a "dangerous pitch" and recorded as a draw.

This is the second unofficial test between New Zealand A and Sri Lanka A, which is currently on hold. In the first inning New Zealand has set a target of 305 run while Sri Lanka are chasing their target. 45 overs have passed and two player have been out for 197 run.If we talk about the first match, there was no result because this match lasts for three days and if both the teams do not complete their innings within three day, then the match is drawn.Two day have passed and this match has been stopped. Now it will start again tomorrow at 9:30 am and the Sri Lankan team needs 108 runs. Just as they have chased the target in the beginning it seems that they will also achieve the remaining score. The New Zealand players started well, with Matthew Boyle scoring 107 run and the rest also performing well. However, some of the player who lost were very poor.  Sri Lanka, who were bowled out for a low score also have a very good start.
