Last year, the ICC deducted points for the Test match against England in Rawalpindi after calling Pakistan’s pitch ‘bad’. That said, there was nothing for the bowlers on that pitch. But the ICC played a big game. The points deducted by Pakistan were returned. And the demerit points that were added there were also removed.

Last year Pakistan – England test match was held in Rawalpindi. There was nothing for the bowlers on the wicket in that match. Due to this the ICC called this pitch ‘bad’ and deducted Pakistan’s points. The then-board chief Ramiz Raja also said that. He said, “The wicket was embarrassing. When a former cricketer is the chairman of the board, such a wicket does not suit us. It is embarrassing. We are not such a cricketing nation. We can play better cricket.”

But Pakistan regained that point after Najam Shetty, the current chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, took over. Earlier this month, Sethi applied to the ICC for a review of the decision of that match. After that, the ICC re-examined the footage of the match. Then they felt that the pitch could not be called a ‘bad’ pitch in any way. So the ICC gave back Pakistan’s points. However, this has not happened before.

In an interview, Sethi said, “After becoming the chairman, I thought about this matter and wanted to take effective action. So I wrote a letter to the ICC to look into the matter. I told the ICC with a strong message that there are many stadiums in the world where bad pitches are made more than ours. That’s why The result of the match, let’s reconsider whether points can be deducted for that pitch. Finally, it’s great news for Pakistan that the ICC has accepted our demands and returned the points.”

Note that England scored 657 runs in the first innings of that match in Rawalpindi. Pakistan’s collection was 579 runs. Then in the second innings, England made 264 runs for 7 wickets. The target for Pakistan is 343 runs. In the end, England won the match by 74 runs. There, 37 wickets fell out of 40 wickets in the two innings of the two teams. The matter has now become the talk of the country in Pakistan as the ICC has returned the points to Pakistan. Many of the netizens are considering this as a result of Sethi’s worthy leadership.

Two world records in the same series. The matter is not easy at all. However, Shubman Gill did this difficult task very easily. Undoubtedly, this right-handed batsman is having the best time of his career with the bat. He also won the man of the match award in the recently concluded ODI series against New Zealand. And to be the series’ best for the first time, Gill is very excited.

Gill scored a double-century in the first ODI against New Zealand. A first in his career. However, he set the world record for the first time with that inning. Gill is now the youngest batsman to score a double century in ODIs. This young man has seen the magic figure of three figures in the third ODI as well. Gill’s total of 360 runs in the three-match series. Which is a joint world record with Babar Azam.

But what is the secret of such success and consistency in batting? When that question was on everyone’s mind, Gill gave a fluent answer. The Indian batsman said that he only tries to play the normal game. Instead of looking at runs, Gill has seen how effective batting is for the needs of the team. But he also thinks that he is getting success because he has the hunger to do well.

Gill talks about his performance after receiving the series best award. He said, “I always try to play well. I feel good when I get runs with the bat. It gives me satisfaction. But there is nothing special behind this success. I just try to play my normal game. I don’t look at runs, but according to the situation of the match. Trying to match myself.”

As well as Shubman’s fluent speech, India got the benefit at the end of the day due to his fluent batting. This young batsman formed a great opening partnership with Rohit Sharma. Getting a regular performer ahead of the World Cup at home could also be a relief for India. Besides playing according to the situation of the match, Gill also has the ability to score quick runs when needed.

Shannon Gabriel has turned 34, but he does not want to suffocate. This pacer was out of the team for a long time. But he did not stop the fight to return. Finally got the result. Gabriel returned to the West Indies Test team. For the two-match Test series against Zimbabwe, the tested veteran pacer has been considered by the West Indies Cricket Board selectors.

Before this, Gabriel played the last Test in 2021. At that time he was left out of the team due to off form and injury. Suffered from a side strain injury for almost the whole of last year. However, having recovered from that injury, he is now fully fit. Also known as Gabriel on the ball. For that reason, the Caribbean team management did not think twice to trust him again.

Meanwhile, Gabriel, who got a chance due to Jayden Sales’ injury, is more likely to get a chance in the eleven. The Caribbean originally planned to play Gabriel in place of Sales. Meanwhile, apart from Gabriel, Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Moti have also returned to the team. However, these two spinners are going to return to the national team jersey after a long time.

However, despite returning after a long time, all three have a chance to be permanent in the national team. But for that, they have to give their best in the return to twenty-two yards. In that case, Gabriel is ahead in terms of experience. The other two spinners are also quite promising. Although the two have the experience to speak of, Warrican has played 13 Tests and Moti just one.

Meanwhile, the Caribbean series against Zimbabwe is going to start on February 4. The second and final match will start on February 12. The two-match Test series will be played in Zimbabwe. Both matches will be played at the same stadium, Bulawayo.

Rashid Khan is one of the bowlers who ruled 22 yards in the current cricket world. Especially in the context of spinners, the name of this leg spinner of Afghanistan will be at the top. The opposition batsmen have to be a critical challenge because of his spin at 22 yards. Rashid touched a new milestone. The captain of Afghanistan made the unique feat of taking 500 wickets in total.

Rashid is currently busy playing SAT20, a franchise-based tournament in South Africa. And he is also doing a flying performance with the ball there. Due to this the Afghan star recently entered the elite club of 500 wicket takers. To reach this milestone of 500 wickets, Rashid had to play 371 T20 matches. So far his T20 career is 8 years old.

Dwayne Bravo entered the elite club of 500 wickets in T20 ahead of Rashid. This former West Indies pace-bowling all-rounder has taken a total of 614 wickets in 556 matches in his career. After Bravo, Rashid became the second bowler to take 500 wickets. The 24-year-old Afghan has a chance to surpass Bravo.

Rashid set another world record on the milestone day by taking 500 wickets. He also took possession of the record of being the youngest bowler in the history of T20 to take 500 wickets. Of course, that calculation is done by looking at the age and number of matches played. In that case, no bowler could take 500 wickets like Rashid at the age of 24 or in 371 matches.

Sunil Narine is third on the list of highest wicket-takers in T20. This Caribbean spinner has taken a total of 474 wickets in the short format of cricket so far. South Africa’s Imran Tahir and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan are in the top five of the list. The wicket figures of the two spinners in this format are 466 and 436 respectively.

A few days ago, Rashid came to the discussion by announcing the boycott of the Big Bash in protest of Australia’s cancellation of the series with Afghanistan. There has been no less discussion and criticism about the matter. However, the field performance did not affect those receipts. Many congratulated the Afghan captain on social media for his achievement.

The year 2022 has been like a dream for Bangladeshi all-rounder Mehdi Hasan Miraj. Miraj has shown skill with the bat. His performance in ODI cricket caught everyone’s attention. Miraj also got the award for this performance. This Bangladeshi all-rounder got a place in ICC’s ODI team of the year. Since then he has been floating in the wishes of fans and well-wishers.

Miraj is the only cricketer from Bangladesh to get a place in this ODI team of ICC. He has also received accolades from the ICC after being named in the ICC ODI Team of the Year. “Miraj was the most consistent all-rounder in ODIs last year. Bowling has always been good, batting has improved a lot this time. Played several match-turning innings,” ICC’s social media wrote.

Considering the performance of ODI cricket in 2022, there are also cricketers from India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and West Indies in the ICC ODI team of the year. Shreyas Iyer and Mohammad Siraj are from India. Australia’s Travis Head and Adam Zampa. Pakistan captain Babar Azam is from Pakistan. He is also the captain of the ICC ODI team of the year. West Indies right-handed batsman Shai Hope, and Alzari Joseph are in this ODI team of the year. New Zealand’s Trent Boult, Tom Latham. Sikandar Raja of Zimbabwe got a place in this ODI team with great performance.

Babar Azam is the captain of ICC’s ODI cricket of the year. In 8 out of 9 ODI matches throughout the year, he scored half-centuries, and three centuries from his bat. Babar Azam scored a total of 679 runs at an average of 84.87 per innings. There are three hundred. In one-day cricket, he won 8 out of 9 matches under his captaincy.

It should be noted that in 2022, Mehdi Hasan Miraj took 24 wickets at an average of 28.30 in 15 matches. Bowling figures are 4 wickets for 29 runs. He also spread light with the bat. He scored 330 runs at an average of 66. Bangladesh played a three-match ODI series against India late last year. Miraj played brilliant match-winning innings in the first two matches against India. Even under pressure against India, this all-rounder brought out the match by scoring a great century.

Currently, this cricketer is busy with BPL. He is playing for Barisal. Miraj is also doing well in BPL. He also expects to win the title for the team. However, despite getting a place in the ICC ODI team, Miraj has not yet opened his mouth about this. However, in a recent interview, he said that his main goal is to contribute to the team.
