Suryakumar Yadav mainly came into discussion with the Indian Premier League (IPL). This batsman has shown his ability by showing batting glimpses in several consecutive seasons. After that, Suryakumar came to international cricket. The rest is the story of his progress. Came, saw and conquered everything. Ricky Ponting, the former captain of Australia, called this batsman who ruled the bowlers as the best.

 

Suryakumar showed his ability to play shots, especially around the wicket. This Indian batsman has already been known as a 360-degree batsman in twenty-two yards. Before this, only one person was hailed as a 360-degree batsman, ABD Villiers. After the retirement of this South African star, Suryakumar is reigning. And Ponting sees it as an exception to everyone else.

 

According to Ponting, Suryakumar plays innovative shots in cricket. In this context, the former Australian captain said, “I have seen Suryakumar play some very innovative shots at 22 yards. He is incredibly talented in terms of skill. I have never seen anyone better than him. As a 360-degree batsman, some of his shots are very good. All batsmen can’t play such shots properly.”

 

Ponting believes that Suryakumar’s batting will introduce T20 cricket in a new way. After Villiers, the former Aussie star advised others to follow explosive batsmen like Suryakumar at 22 yards. Ponting added, “The way Suryakumar is playing now, many people will follow him. Everyone will want to play like him. It’s good for the whole world in T20. It will enrich cricket and also be a role model for many. It’s great.”

 

It should be noted that currently, Suryakumar is at the top of the ICC T20 ranking. The award of the best T20 cricketer of the year 2022 also goes to this batsman. He scored a total of 1164 runs in this format last year. Where he batted at a strike rate of 187.43, he hit 68 sixes in one year. The 32-year-old batsman has started the new year with spectacular batting. In a recent interview, this batsman said that he wants to play explosive innings regularly from now on.

All umpires in the Women’s World Cup are women

Women’s cricket is progressing along with men’s. The Women’s T20 World Cup is going to start on February 10. And this event is going to be held in South Africa. A few more days are left for this women’s cricket battle to start and the excitement will touch. But before that, ICC gave an exceptional surprise. The responsibility of managing the entire World Cup has been given to the shoulders of women.

 

ICC has recently announced the names of umpires and match referees for the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup. It can be seen there, all those in charge are women. A total of 10 umpires and 13 referees will be seen in the management of this Women’s World Cup. There are reasons behind this innovative decision. ICC wants to increase the interest of women around the world in cricket.

 

Meanwhile, the ICC is very excited to give such responsibility to women in a big event like the World Cup. ICC General Manager Wasim Khan said that the authorities had taken exceptional initiatives keeping in mind the rise of women’s cricket in recent times. This authority of women in match management is a message to all women in the world. Everyone will gradually become interested in cricket.

 

In this context, Wasim also said, “All the matches of the 2023 ICC Women’s Twenty20 World Cup will be officiated by women. This is a matter of great joy for us. Currently, the promotion and spread of women’s cricket are visible worldwide. Many are interested in taking up cricket as a profession. To further increase this interest, we have made this exceptional decision.”

 

However, it is uncertain how successful the ICC’s thinking will be. However, it is noticeable that the importance of women’s cricket is constantly increasing worldwide. Women are now competing with men in terms of financial opportunities. In many countries, equal pay rules have been introduced, eliminating discrimination. Another breakthrough is about to begin, the multi-crore women’s Indian Premier League (IPL). Where the salary of the players is going to be huge. ICC therefore strongly believes that the Women’s World Cup will also be managed well by women.

 

Match Referees: GS Lakshmi (India), Shandre Fritz (South Africa), Michell Pereira (Sri Lanka)

 

Umpires: Sue Redfern (England), Eloise Sheridan (Australia), Claire Polosak (Australia), Jacqueline Williams (West Indies), Kim Cotton (New Zealand), Lauren Agenbag (South Africa), Anna Harris (England), Vrinda Rathi (India), N Janani (India), Nimali Perera (Sri Lanka)

In this edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Zakir Hasan is playing for the team of his division. This youngster of Sylhet Strikers is in a good rhythm with the bat. He played several good innings and brought victory to his team. But to get a personal half-century, had to wait till the 10th match. And Zakir dedicated the desired half-century to his mother.

 

Sylhet won a high-scoring match against Khulna Tigers on Monday. Zakir played an essential role in that victory. After the quick departure of opener Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Zakir, who came to bat at number three, brought the team a big collection. He himself brought up the first half-century of the season. This youngster has featured the brilliant innings of 53 runs off 38 balls with 2 fours and 4 sixes.

 

Zakir is pleased to contribute to the team’s victory. Zakir has dedicated half-century to his mother. Besides, Sylhet’s left-handed batsman also thanked the audience at his home ground. Zakir wrote on his official Facebook page after the match, “This half-century is for my mother. Special thanks to Sylhet fans. Without all of your support, we wouldn’t have come this far.”

 

Zakir has played 10 matches and scored a total of 175 runs in this year’s BPL. Despite a batting average of just 19.44, his strike rate of 150.86 is quite promising. So far, the half-century has been met only once. But if the short innings can be extended, the BPL can be the stage for Zakir’s return to the national team. Earlier, he made his T20 debut against Sri Lanka in 2018.

 

However, he got a place on the Test team. He made his white debut against India late last year. And in that match, the young wicketkeeper spread light with the bat. He scored a century in his debut match. His batting against a strong team like India shows Bangladesh a ray of hope. As a result, it is Zakir’s turn to make his place in other formats as well.
