The Indian team got great news before the World Cup. After T-20 cricket, India’s dominance is now in ODI cricket. India has overtaken New Zealand as the number one ODI team in the world. After their third and final ODI match against New Zealand at home, the Indians took the top spot.

Rohit Sharma’s team confirmed the series by winning the last one-day match against the Kiwis last Tuesday. The pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill ensured India’s victory in the match. This opening pair took India ahead by scoring 212 runs. In the end, India secured the series by winning by a big margin of 90 runs. And this has affected the ICC ranking. India has got a place as the number one team in the ODI ranking.

Team India whitewashed New Zealand in the three-match ODI series by defeating them in three consecutive matches. Tom Latham’s team lost their top spot as well as whitewash to India. New Zealand lost the top spot after losing their second match against India. England topped them. But after losing the last ODI match, India came to the top of the points table.

Before this match, India, New Zealand and England were at the same place in the points table. All three teams have 113 points. After defeating New Zealand, India’s points are now 114. England is second with 113 points. Australia dropped to third place with 112 points and New Zealand dropped to fourth place in the points table with 111 points. But ahead of England – South Africa ODI series. If England whitewash South Africa in the three-match ODI series, England will top India and come to the top spot.

It should be noted that the One Day World Cup is going to be held on Indian soil in November-December. And before that, the Indian team is in great form in ODI cricket. Rohit – Kohli are in their best rhythm. Team India also whitewashed Sri Lanka at home before New Zealand. Won against the Lankans by a record margin. It will surely boost their confidence ahead of the World Cup. Having a great win history, the host India will want to win the World Cup title on the soil of the country.

Ever since Nazam Shetty became the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the country has seen a lot of changes. Appointment of new selection panel, change of other officers of the board. Pakistan is going to appoint Mickey Arthur as the head coach. It is said that the final talks have already been completed with this South African coach.

However, Sethi is playing a major role in making Arthur the mastermind of the national team. Sethi even contacted Arthur personally. 90 percent of them have been negotiated. That is why Arthur’s re-coaching of the Pakistan team is only a formality. At the same time, PCB is leaving it to Arthur who will be the other coaching staff.

Recently, Sethi told the media about making Arthur the head coach. In this context, he said, “I have spoken to Arthur personally. About 90 percent of our talks are final. Hopefully, Arthur will inform us about working with us very soon. We want to give him full freedom. He will also decide who will be with him in the coaching panel. Take your pick.”

However, the reason behind making Arthur the chief for the second term is also clear, he has brought success to Pakistan in the previous term. One of Pakistan’s achievements under him was winning the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017. Arthur also made Pakistan the top team in the ICC T20 rankings, serving for almost four years from 2016 to 2019.

Meanwhile, if everything goes well, Arthur will come to Pakistan as Babar Azam’s guru in no time. And after a few months of work, Arthur’s assignment will be the ODI World Cup. In this mega tournament of Asian conditions on Indian soil, Pakistan will definitely dream of winning the title with the help of Arthur. Because, he has the precedent of bringing the title in a big event before.

A few days ago, Pakistan’s ODI series against New Zealand ended. The Pakistan team lost the three-match series 2-1. Shahid Afridi was the chief selector of Pakistan team in this series. The Pakistan Cricket Board wanted to extend his tenure as chief selector after the series against New Zealand. But he did not take that responsibility and left the post of Chief Selector and strongly criticized the Shethi board.

Apart from his charity, Afridi has spoken in various places. On the extension of the chief selector’s tenure, Afridi said, “I have enjoyed working as the chief selector in the Pakistan Cricket Board. After the New Zealand series, PCB wanted to extend my tenure. But I did not agree for personal reasons, as I have commitments in various places besides charity. Due to lack of time. It was not possible to fulfill the duty due to scarcity. However, I would like to contribute to the country’s cricket by working for the development of U-19 level cricketers in the future. “

Shan Masood was given the co-captaincy for the ODI series against New Zealand. But Afridi did not like this work of PCB chairman. He recently made such a comment. According to him, Shetty should have trusted the chief selector or the captain. Afridi also said, “The post of co-captain is important in the team, Shaan Masood should not have been given the co-captainship by the board. The PCB chairman should have discussed the matter with the captain or the chief selector. The PCB chairman did not take my and Babar Azam’s opinion while appointing Masood as the co-captain.”

Meanwhile, the question about Babar’s captaincy is not new. Rumors of removing him from the captaincy were also strong. Afridi also wants to improve under Babar’s captaincy. However, he is not in favor of having different captains in the three formats of cricket. Afridi said, “Criticism about Babar’s captaincy has been going on for a long time. Babar has a lot of room for improvement as a captain, which he can work on. But I am not in favor of three captains in three editions. Rather, my opinion is that one person can be led for Tests and ODIs, and a different person can be led for T20I. I think it will be good for Pakistan cricket. “

It is to be noted that after Nazam Shetty took charge, Shetty’s first task was to make Shahid Afridi the chief selector. But the former Pakistan captain resigned from that post after the home series against New Zealand. But time will tell whether he will return to this duty again. This former Pakistan captain is currently busy with his charity work.
