Ishant Sharma, who was injured before the start of the first game that India lost, may not be able to get fully fit in time, and hence, the Indian selectors have named Munaf Patel as a back-up bowler to Ishant. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/odi/2010/munaf-patel-called-up-to-join-struggling-india-at-dambulla.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/india/sreesanth-joins-zaheer-khan-as-injured-player-will-miss-sri-lanka-series.php http://cricketnow.in/india/sreesanth-joins-zaheer-khan-as-injured-player-will-miss-sri-lanka-series.php#comments Mon, 12 Jul 2010 11:41:46 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1349 India continues to suffer from injury blows and this is even before a ball has been bowled in the series so far. If it is was Zaheer Khan earlier, now was the chance of S Sreesanth to be injured and return back to India leaving the side crippled and without too much experience in the side. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/sreesanth-joins-zaheer-khan-as-injured-player-will-miss-sri-lanka-series.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/india/indian-side-for-the-tour-of-sri-lanka-selected-yuvraj-raina-in.php http://cricketnow.in/india/indian-side-for-the-tour-of-sri-lanka-selected-yuvraj-raina-in.php#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:19:46 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1322 India has selected Yuvraj Singh in their 16 member squad to tour Sri Lanka for the three Test match series after giving him the axe for the Asia Cup that was played in the same country. What has surprised many of the critics is that without having had any practice during the one month, and without playing any competitive cricket, on what grounds was the dropped player selected in the side. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/indian-side-for-the-tour-of-sri-lanka-selected-yuvraj-raina-in.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-may-have-been-dropped-because-of-fitness.php http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-may-have-been-dropped-because-of-fitness.php#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:13:12 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1284 Krish Srikkanth may have refused to take any questions on any individual selections, much like he had not done so in the previous World T20, but he did say that fitness and fielding were the two main factors that were kept in mind whilst selecting the side. He added that the team had lost a few games thanks to these two factors and hence the focus was on them. Srikkanth also added that MS Dhoni was content with the team he had been given. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-may-have-been-dropped-because-of-fitness.php/feed 1 http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/icc-world-2010/zimbabwe-beat-australia-in-warmup-game.php http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/icc-world-2010/zimbabwe-beat-australia-in-warmup-game.php#comments Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:26:04 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1182 Zimbabwe beat Australia in their first warm-up game that was played in the West Indies, also the venue for the ICC World T20. At one stage, it had looked like the Aussies would be easy victors despite chasing 174 for a win, but then, they lost their way to capitulate rather easily and lose the game.]]> http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/icc-world-2010/zimbabwe-beat-australia-in-warmup-game.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/australia-select-tteam-for-t20-lee-comeback.php http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/australia-select-tteam-for-t20-lee-comeback.php#comments Tue, 30 Mar 2010 12:12:23 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1127 The Australian side for the ICC World T20 to be played in West Indies has been announced. The selectors have surprised by including the likes of Michael Hussey and getting the previously injured Brett Lee back into the side. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/australia-select-tteam-for-t20-lee-comeback.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/indian-team-for-icc-world-t20.php http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/indian-team-for-icc-world-t20.php#comments Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:19:45 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1112 This is a question that the selectors will be able to answer after they meet in the selection meeting today to decide on which are the players that take the flight to the West Indies for the ICC World T20.]]> http://cricketnow.in/twenty20/indian-team-for-icc-world-t20.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/pakistan/appoint-shahid-afridi-as-captain-of-t20.php http://cricketnow.in/pakistan/appoint-shahid-afridi-as-captain-of-t20.php#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:52:53 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1110 PCB has appointed Shahid Afridi as the captain of the Pakistan side to feature in the ICC World T20 this year in the West Indies. Pakistan, who had won the tournament last year by beating Sri Lanka in the final was without a captain after most of their captain-material players were eight banned for an year or more or were fined and hence not in reckoning. Afridi was one of them but the PCB chief, Ejaz Butt seems to have pardoned him for the lapses and appointed him the skipper. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/pakistan/appoint-shahid-afridi-as-captain-of-t20.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/pakistan/afridi-ball-tampering-ball-eating-ban.php http://cricketnow.in/pakistan/afridi-ball-tampering-ball-eating-ban.php#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:22:07 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1010 Pakistan cricket continues to shock and awe. Just when they were getting a little overly fidgety about the IPL exclusion, has come another blow. On the Australian tour, Pakistani captain for the T20Is as well as the last ODI of the series, Shahid Afridi, has been suspended by the ICC for the next two international games.]]> http://cricketnow.in/pakistan/afridi-ball-tampering-ball-eating-ban.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/2010-test-cricket/india-south-africa/team-for-south-african-series-announced-dravid-out.php http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/2010-test-cricket/india-south-africa/team-for-south-african-series-announced-dravid-out.php#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:09:38 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1006 The Indian team for the first Test match against South Africa has been named and it has a couple of surprising names.
