Wahab Riaz rates IPL at 'different level' compared to other leagues such as PSL

The Indian Premier League has earned high praise from Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz, who has said that it has attained a completely different level of its own compared to all other leagues in the world. 

He outlined the ‘totally different’ processes being followed by the league in terms of organising and running tournaments and drafting of players that makes IPL stands tall among its competitors such as his home-grown Pakistan Super League

"IPL is a league where all the top international players come and play. You can't compare IPL with PSL, I believe IPL is at a different level. Their commitments, the way they run things, communicate things, the way they draft the players, all that is totally different. I don't think any league can compete with the IPL," Wahab said to Cricket Pakistan.

However, he said that the PSL trumps the IPL in one aspect of the game—bowling, which has always been in abundance in his country. He argued the presence of quality bowlers in PSL teams as the reason behind not too many high-scoring games in the PSL

"The kind of bowlers you get in the PSL is not found in other leagues, not even the IPL. This is why PSL doesn't have many high-scoring games. The bowling attacks in PSL are the best in the world,” Riaz added.

Notably, Wahab Riaz has not played even one season of the IPL as the BCCI has banned players of Pakistan origin from participating in the league after the inaugural edition in 2008.

Vijay Shankar promises to become next Kallis or Watson if given higher batting position

Once touted as a three-dimensional player for India in the ODI format, Vijay Shankar has gone off the radar very quickly and rather quietly compared to the noise and debates that his inclusion in the team for the ICC World cup 2019 created. Now, having faced a lot of time away from the limelight of the game, Shankar laments lost opportunity and also inconsistent batting position he has been offered over the last few years behind the reason of his failure with the bat. He has sought consistency from the team management including the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and said if he does not score at number four or five he should be rightly axed from the team. “If I have to score runs, I need to spend more time on the crease. So I’m not saying I want to open the batting. Just saying, even if I bat at No. 4 or 5, let it be one slot at least for domestic. And then if I don’t score runs, drop me, I’m okay. That’s what I have missed out in the last two years,” Shankar said in an interview with News18. He also discarded the belief that all-rounders such as him should only bat at the lower order and said that he believes he could be the next Jacques Kallis and Shane Watson for India if given the chance. “I’m an all-rounder, but I’m known for my batting. So just because I’m an all-rounder, it shouldn’t be like I should bat only at No. 6 or 7. I can also be someone like Jacques Kallis or Shane Watson. They open the innings or bat at No. 3 and bowl. It’s not a compulsion that an all-rounder has to bat at No. 6-7. If I can score runs at the top, and pick wickets, it’s good for the team too, right?” Shankar added. Shankar was dropped from the team after the ICC World Cup 2019 and multiple injury setbacks pushed him further away from reckoning.

Joe Root falls on 99, shares a sensational stand with Yorkshire skipper

England Test skipper Joe Root forged a sensational partnership with Yorkshire skipper Steven Patterson as Yorkshire finished Day 3 of their County Championship match against Glamorgan well on top. Root played a sensational hand and fell just a solitary run short of a well-deserved century. It was on the back of some superb batting by Root and Patterson which took Yorkshire past Glamorgan’s first innings total and eventually went onto take a crucial 79 runs lead. After Glamorgan danced to the tunes of the Yorkshire bowlers, it was time for the Glamorgan bowlers to give it back. Michael Nesser bowled a fiery spell bagging a fifer and some good bowling from the other pacers were instrumental in reducing Yorkshire to 116/8. Having come into the crease at 6/2 and see wickets fall around him, Joe Root held his nerves and looked the best batsmen from either sides. His decisive strokeplay and feet movement against the moving ball was quite fascinating to see. He drove through the up, adjusted to the lengths of the ball perfectly and ended up playing some delightful shots and helped Yorkshire claw their way back into the match and rest back the initiative. A brilliant 79 runs partnership with skipper Steven Patterson turned the match on it’s head. Patterson provided the much-needed support to Root and went onto score a classy unbeaten 47 taking Yorkshire to a sizeable lead. Root fell agonisingly close of the century mark getting castled by Daniel Douthwaite. With a substantial lead given the favourable conditions for bowlers, Yorkshire bowling led by Ben Coad and Jordan Thompson struck early to push Glamorgan into the backfoot right away. They bowled brilliantly and reduced them to 44/3 which included the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. It was David Llyod and Kiran Carlson who took Glamorgan to safety with a good partnership. While Llyod took his time to get going, Carlson threw a counter-punch on the Yrkshire bowlers racing his way to a breezy knock of 44 of just 42 deliveries which included seven fours. They eventually ended the day’s play on 105/3, with a lead of 29 runs.

Indian players failed to handle fame and money: Purnima Rau on rift in women's cricket

Former India women’s head coach and an established international cricketer during her heydays, Purnima Rau lambasted the current crop of players in the Indian team suggesting that success and money tend to get the better of them. She felt that while the triumphant Indian team from the 2015-16 T20 series in Australia was a happy and innocent bunch, things started to take a U-turn when they were offered huge sums of money and quite a few got the opportunity to ply their trades in Women’s Big Bash League. “When we won the T20 series for the first time in Australia in 2015-16, I remember the team to be a very innocent, happy, hungry bunch. It was nice to see them in the World Cup final in a matter of months,” Rau was quoted as saying during an exclusive interview with News 18. “But, after tasting success, the contract system, social media becoming powerful, Big Bash League, media attention, money, captaincy issues, everything started snowballing into a big issue between them. There is no camaraderie, no bonding between the players. Suddenly everything could change with the whiff of money. They could not handle success and money,” she further added. The context of having no team bonding and camaraderie has been quite prevalent in the Indian women’s cricket set-up. It was reported that there was unrest in the team following Mithali Raj’s omission for the playing XI in the 2017 World T20 semi-final. Ramesh Powar was sacked as the head coach but not before both Harmanpreet and Smriti Mandhana wrote a letter to BCCI insisting to keep Powar as the coach which was against the views of Mithali Raj. However in response to her equation with Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet had vouched that she doesnt have a problem with the former skipper. “I don’t think there has been any problem between me and Mithali. I can speak for myself. You have to speak to her and ask if she has a problem with me. I have always respected her as a senior. We are mature enough to handle the situation. We will have to play as a unit to take the team forward. We are more team players than individuals. If you think about the team cause, you will put your head down and work towards that. I have met her and spoken to her after all these events and we seem to have moved on,” Harmanpreet was quoted as saying by The Mumbai Mirror. Without mentioning any name, Rau said that this is nothing new among former players. When power comes in, everything else takes a backseat and in return, it affects women’s cricket. She urged the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly to come forward and solve these issues.

England coach Chris Silverwood to take a break after NZ Tests

England head coach Chris Silverwood will go on a break after the team’s two-match Test series against New Zealand at home. The responsibilities would be taken up by his assistants for the limited overs series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan on the home soil. “I’ll be passing the reins on for the ODI series. It’s not fair on the players if I am operating at less than 100% and it is not fair on myself either,” Silverwood was quoted as saying by the British media. “Thorpey will do one and Colly will do the other and I’ll use it as my break to refresh and get ready for what is ahead of us,” he added. England will begin the Test series against Blackcaps on June 2 which will be followed by 12 white-ball internationals at home. They will first host Sri Lanka with the T20I series beginning on June 23 and would be followed by as many ODIs. The Pakistan team will tour England for a three-match ODI and three-match T20I series. After completing the home fixtures which includes seven Tests and 12 limited-overs games, England will tour Pakistan and Bangladesh ahead of the World T20 and will then travel to Australia for the Ashes series. “I’m not going to deny it’s not easy for me,” Silverwood said. “Obviously I am wholly on board with what we are doing. I am very embedded in it now. I do find it hard to switch off but I’ll do my best,” Silverwood further added. England would be naming the squad for the Test series against the Kiwis next week.
