Former star Australian batsman Dean Jones dies of cardiac arrest in India..

2020-09-26T11:59:00.003+05:00

Former Australia batsman and cricket commentator Dean Jones, who had been covering the Indian Premier League from Mumbai, has died after a heart attack aged 59, broadcaster Star India said on Thursday.

Dean Jones

Jones won the World Cup with Australia in 1987 and played 52 Tests and 164 One-day Internationals in an international career that spanned 10 years from 1984.

Jones was in Mumbai as part of Star India’s commentary panel for the ongoing IPL.

“It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing away of Mr Dean Mervyn Jones,” the company said in a statement. “He died of a sudden cardiac arrest. We express our deep condolences to his family and stand ready to support them in this difficult time.”

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison paid tribute to ’an absolute cricketing legend’ as he sent his condolences to Jones’s family.

“A true entertainer at the crease, whose flair with the bat and electric running between the wickets changed the game forever. A genuine good guy & a huge loss,” Morrison tweeted.

Former India batsman Sachin Tendulkar said he was heartbroken.

“A wonderful soul taken away too soon,” Tendulkar said. “Had the opportunity to play against him during my first tour of Australia. May his soul rest in peace and my condolences to his loved ones.”

But the Victorian’s most memorable innings was in 1986, when he struck 210 in the blistering heat of Chennai during cricket’s second-ever tied Test.

“One hour into day two I knew I was in trouble,” he told ESPNcricinfo. “I didn’t drink anything apart from a cup of tea or coffee. We didn’t know anything about dehydration and rehydration back then. Then I just batted from memory basically. I can’t remember much from 120 on.”

Jones ended his career with 3,631 runs in Tests at an average of 46.55 with 11 hundreds and 14 half-centuries, and over 6,000 runs in ODIs with seven centuries and 46 fifties.

Earl Eddings, chairman of Cricket Australia, said Jones would be sorely missed by fans around the world.

“Dean Jones was a hero to a generation of cricketers and will forever be remembered as a legend of this great game,” Eddings said in a statement. “This is a truly sad day. Deano’s loss will be felt not just at home in Australia, but across the globe.”

Jones’ former Australian captain, Allan Border, said he was ‘genuinely shattered’ by the news.

“He was simply just a good mate that always had my back. We’d stayed close post cricket and only talked this morning about a fun project that we were going to get involved in,” Border told The Sydney Morning Herald.

The cricketing fraternity took to social media to pay tribute.

“I can’t believe this news. So very sad to hear about this. Rip Deano,” Australian batsman David Warner tweeted while Steve Smith said Jones was a ‘wonderful player for Australia’ who would be missed.

Former Australian batsman Darren Lehmann said: “Dean Jones ... taught me so much on and off the ground. I and all of the cricketing world will miss him. Our thoughts are with Jane and the family at this time.”

Ehsan Mani, the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman, expressed his profound shock at the untimely demise of Jones.”Deeply saddened with the news of Dean’s passing away. He had a deep association with Pakistan cricket, having served in the coaching capacity in the PSL franchises Islamabad United and Karachi Kings, and had also expressed interest and availability in coaching the Pakistan men’s national cricket team last year.

“My deepest condolences go to Dean’s family and friends, and stand firmly with them in these difficult times.”

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, who worked with Jones as a co-commentator, said the news had left him in complete shock.

“One of a kind you were Deano and how lonely and helpless you must have felt on your own in that hotel room — a death we commentators fear the most, and likely to meet, helpless and gone in that hotel room... RIP my friend,” Ramiz tweeted.

Australia white-ball captain Aaron Finch tweeted: “Still in shock hearing the news of Deano’s passing. Thoughts are with Jane and the family at this incredibly tough time. A great man with an amazing passion for the game.”

Australia’s head coach Justin Langer, observed: “Deano was a true legend of Australian sport and world cricket, one of the great players and personalities in a golden time for the game. His role in the team’s World Cup win in 1987 and the 1989 Ashes under AB [Allan Border] were a huge turning point for Australian cricket.

Jones retired from all forms of cricket in 1998, going on to work as a coach and commentator. He was inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2019.

Later he coached Islamabad United and Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League and was also a widely travelled commentator.

Father of two daughters — Isabella and Pheobe — was a colourful character known for his outspoken views.

A popular figure in Indian media, he had his own show ‘Prof Deano’ on news network NDTV.

“Shocked to hear about the tragic loss of Dean Jones. Praying for strength and courage to his family and friends,” said India’s skipper Virat Kohli on Twitter.

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar said the news was ‘absolutely heartbreaking’.

“A wonderful soul taken away too soon. Had the opportunity to play against him during my first tour of Australia,” he said.

“Gone so young. Condolences to the family and may his soul rest in peace,” added India’s head coach Ravi Shastri.

Jones attracted controversy in 2006 during a series in Sri Lanka when he described retired South African batsman Hashim Amla, a Muslim, as looking ‘like a terrorist’ due to his long beard.

MS Dhoni, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, has announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing down curtains on a near 16-year-long storied career of one of the country’s greatest limited-overs cricketers. Dhoni retires as India’s most successful captain in limited-over internationals, having won three ICC trophies - 2007 T20 World Cup, 50-over World Cup in 2011 and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy - the only captain to do so.The announcement means that Dhoni’s last India game would remain the semifinal of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in which India lost to New Zealand by 18 runs. It was his 350th ODI, in which he scored 50 off 72 balls before being run-out by a bullet throw from Martin Guptill in the deep. Incidentally, Dhoni was run-out in his first ODI as well. Having retired from Test cricket in December of 2014 with 4876 runs from 90 matches, Dhoni carried on playing ODIs and T20Is. With 10,733 runs, Dhoni is fifth in the list of India’s all-time run-scorers in ODI behind Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. His overall Indian numbers are staggering: 538 matches, 17,266 runs, 16 centuries, 108 fifties, 359 sixes, 829 dismissals.

ICC T20 Cricket World Cup 2021-2022

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed that the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2020 that was postponed due to COVID-19 will be held in Australia in 2022. India will host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 as planned.

The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2021 in New Zealand has been postponed until February – March 2022 because of the impact the pandemic has had on cricket globally.The decisions were taken by the IBC (the commercial subsidiary of the ICC) following an extensive contingency planning exercise which has taken into account the health, cricket and commercial impact of COVID-19 around the world.

ICC Acting Chairman Imran Khwaja said: “Over the last few months as we have considered how we return to staging global events, our number one priority has been to protect the health and safety of everyone involved in ICC events.

“The decisions the Board have taken today are in the best interests of the sport, our partners and importantly our fans. I’d like to thank our partners at the BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket New Zealand as well as the Australian and New Zealand governments for their continued support and commitment to a safe return to ICC events.”

ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney said: “We now have absolute clarity on the future of ICC events enabling all of our Members to focus on the rescheduling of lost international and domestic cricket. We will now proceed as planned with the Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 in India and host the 2022 edition in Australia.

The format of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 will remain as it was for 2020 and all teams that qualified for that event will now participate in India in 2021. A new qualification process will be run for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.

ICC Womens World Cup 2022

The Women's Cricket World Cup, due to take place next year, has been postponed until February-March 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The 50-over tournament was scheduled to take place in New Zealand from 6 February to 7 March, 2021.

In addition, the ICC has announced that the 2020 men's T20 World Cup, also postponed because of the pandemic, will be held in Australia in 2022.

India will host the men's T20 World Cup in 2021 as planned.

Three women's cricket tournaments will now take place in 2022, in addition to the Commonwealth Games and the Twenty20 World Cup.

England are the reigning World Cup champions having won the tournament on home soil in 2017.

"We have taken the decision to move the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup to give players from every competing nation, the best opportunity to be ready for the world's biggest stage and there is still a global qualifier to complete to decide the final three teams," said ICC chief executive Manu Sawhney.

"There has been no women's international cricket played since the conclusion of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup earlier this year and due to the varying impact of Covid-19 globally that is likely to remain the situation for a number of the teams.

"Moving the event by 12 months gives all competing teams the chance to play a sufficient level of cricket ahead of both the qualification event and leading into a Cricket World Cup so the integrity of the tournament is maintained."

England, Australia, South Africa, India and hosts New Zealand have already booked their places in the tournament.

A qualifying event, which should have taken place in Sri Lanka in July, will take place in 2021. It will feature 10 teams, including Ireland, and will determine the final three of the eight teams that will take part in the tournament proper.

IPL 2020 to be held in the UAE

IPL 2020 Updates:

IPL 2020

The 2020 edition of the IPL will be played in the UAE, Brijesh Patel, the IPL Governing Council chairman, confirmed today. Patel said that a formal announcement on the matter would be made when the body meets next.

Patel did not confirm the dates for the tournament, but as reported recently, the BCCI has penciled in the window between September 26 and November 7 for the IPL, which comprises 60 matches. Patel said that the BCCI had been waiting for the ICC to formally postpone the men's T20 World Cup this year, which has happened now, and freed up a window for the tournament.

"We were waiting for the ICC to officially announce [the postponement]," Patel said. "We have applied [for permission] with the Indian government. Should get it."

Patel said Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah would be the three main venues. Asked about whether the tournament would be played behind closed doors, Patel said that "depends on the UAE government". It is understood that the franchises are yet to be formally informed about the tournament being shifted out of India.

In April, the BCCI had postponed the IPL indefinitely because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the BCCI had intended to host the IPL in India, the pandemic's spread has over the last few months has made that unfeasible. With officially more than a million Covid-19 infections confirmed, India ranks third on the list of active cases worldwide.

When the plan was to host the tournament in India, the BCCI wanted to conduct it behind closed doors in limited venues and had singled out Mumbai as the hub, but India's commercial capital has a huge number of Covid-19 infections, putting paid to those thoughts.

This would be the second time for the IPL in the UAE, after the first 20 matches of the tournament were staged in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah in 2014 because of the general elections in India. The franchises are likely to set up their bases a month in advance if and when the green light is given - for training and also to abide by any quarantine measures imposed by the UAE government.

It is understood that the main reason for marking November 7 as the date for the IPL final was to ensure Indian players get enough time to travel to Australia for the four-match Test series, set to begin in December.

Not tested to date: Shoaib Malik, Cliffe Deacon and Waqar Younis

On Monday, Imad Wasim and Usman Shinwari had tested negative, while the results of Haider Ali, Haris Rauf and Shadab Khan were positive.

Like Haider, Haris and Shadab none of the seven players and masseur had reported any prior symptoms of Covid-19 until they underwent first round of testing on Monday ahead of the side’s departure for Manchester.

The PCB medical panel is already in contact with these players and the masseur, who have been instructed to observe strict quarantine at their homes for their and their families’ wellbeing.

Next steps are:

The players and player support personnel, who have tested negative, will assemble in a bio-secure environment in Lahore on 24 June and will undergo second round of testing on 25 June

The players and player support personnel, who will test negative on 25 June, will depart for Manchester on a chartered flight. Within 24 after hours after arriving in the UK, they will be tested by the ECB medical panel

The players and player support personnel, who will test negative upon arrival in the UK, will observe a quarantine period as per the UK government’s regulations, but will be allowed to train and practice in a bio-secure facility

The players and player support personnel, who have tested positive in pre-departure testing, will observe self-isolation in their homes and remain under strict monitoring of the PCB medical panel

As soon as they will complete their minimum quarantine period, they will undergo further testing and after their two tests are negative, they will be flown to England on a commercial airline

Upon arrival in the UK, they will be tested again by the ECB medical panel and will be allowed to integrate with the Pakistan men’s national squad after they test negative

According to series SOPs, the Pakistan men’s national cricket team will undergo, at least, five tests in the lead up to the first test

PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan: “The recent positive tests of some of the fittest athletes, who had not shown any symptoms, clearly reflect the danger this virus possesses. As such, and on behalf of the PCB, I once again request the public to strictly adhere to all safety precautions as advised and recommended by the federal and provincial governments to ensure their health and safety as well as of their dear and near ones.

“As regards the players, who have tested positive, we will continue to monitor and support them, including conducting antibody tests, and as soon as they test negative, they will be flown to join the squad in England. At the moment, they have been advised to go into self-isolation so that they not only recover quickly but also prevent their other family members from being infected.

“The tour to England is very much on track and the side will depart as per schedule on 28 June. Fortunately, all the first-choice red-ball squad, barring Mohammad Rizwan, are negative, which means they can start training and practicing immediately after they have been tested and given the all clear when they arrive in England

“In the meantime, Misbah-ul-Haq is reviewing the training schedule in England and is firming up plans for reserve players to be tested as a backup.”

Note to Editors:

The following are some of the salient features of the bio-secure environment, which the ECB medical panel will put in place for the Pakistan men’s national cricket team during the tour of England:

Daily monitoring of temperature and symptoms for all

Regular Covid-19 testing for everyone within the bio-secure environment (on average every seven days)

Only essential staff are present, including hotel personnel

The bio-secure environment will be ‘zoned’ so individuals will only operate within a restricted area essential to their duties

Social distancing and regular hand hygiene is key for all

Face masks or coverings should be worn by all

29 men squad for Pakistan's tour to England

2020-06-12T17:20:00.001+05:00

Pakistan Cricket Team

The Pakistan Cricket Board on Friday announced the 29-member squad for the Test and T20 series against England to be played in August-September.
Haider Ali, the Pakistan U19 batsman, has been added to the squad after an outstanding 2019-20 season, following which he earned an emerging contract for the 2020-21 season.
Besides Ali, Sindh’s Kashif Bhatti is the other uncapped player in the side. Bhatti was in the Test squad against Australia and Sri Lanka but did not play and was also named in the probables for the Rawalpindi Test against Bangladesh.
Returning to the squad is fast bowler Sohail Khan, whose ninth and last Test for Pakistan was the 2016 Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Other centrally contracted players' names for the England tour include Faheem Ashraf, Fawad Alam, Imran Khan, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hafeez and Wahab Riaz.

The selectors have also named four reserves in Bilal Asif, Imran Butt, Musa Khan and Mohammad Nawaz as a cover in case any of the players fail pre-tour COVID-19 testing, which will be carried out on June 20 and 25.

Fast bowlers Hasan Ali and Mohammad Amir, and middle-order batsman Haris Sohail were not available for selection. Hasan is suffering from a back injury, Amir withdrew so that he can be at the birth of his second child in August while Haris took the option of pulling out of the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking about the squad, chief selector and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq said, “The selectors have picked a squad which gives us the best chance of success in England. It was a challenging process as the players have not played for an extended period, but with the month that we will have in England and the intense training we will undergo, we are confident we will get the players up to the mark to be ready for the three Tests.”

He added the main focus of the selectors has been red-ball cricket, which they will play for nearly two months.

“The series against England will be challenging as our players have not played any competitive cricket since March, while the home team will come following a series against the West Indies. This means we will have to hit the ground running as soon as we land in England and make the best use of the training sessions and match practice before we enter the first Test,” he said.

“The players have also been selected with one eye on the future. I want these players to acquire as much cricket knowledge as possible from the additional backroom staff of Mushtaq Ahmed and Younis Khan that can help them post the England tour,” the former captain said.

Misbah added, “Sohail Khan has been recalled to further strengthen our fast bowling department. He had two five-fors when he last played in England in 2016. The selectors also felt he bowled much better in the 2019-20 domestic season than his figures reflected.”

International Cricket Council guidelines for cricket resumption amid COVID-19 pandemic

2020-06-10T12:56:00.001+05:00

International Cricket Council

The International Cricket Council banned the use of saliva as it modified its playing regulations on an interim basis, a statement from the ICC said Tuesday .

According to the statement, the Chief Executives’ Committee has ratified recommendations of the Cricket Committee to mitigate the risks posed by the virus and protect the health of players and match officials when cricket resumes.

Under new interim playing conditions, the teams will be allowed to replace players displaying symptoms of COVID-19 during a Test match. In line with concussion replacements, the match referee will approve the nearest like-for-like replacement.

However, the ICC added that this COVID-19 replacement regulation will not be applicable in ODIs and T20Is.

Players are also, formally, prohibited from using saliva to shine the ball and repeated offences of putting saliva will result in awarding penalty runs to the opposite side.

“If a player does apply saliva to the ball, the umpires will manage the situation with some leniency during an initial period of adjustment for the players, but subsequent instances will result in the team receiving a warning,” the ICC said.

“A team can be issued up to two warnings per innings but repeated use of saliva on the ball will result in a 5-run penalty to the batting side. Whenever saliva is applied to the ball, the umpires will be instructed to clean the ball before play recommences,” the statement added.

The ICC has also temporarily removed the requirement to appoint neutral match officials from the playing conditions for all international formats due to the current logistical challenges with international travel.

The ICC will, instead, appoint locally based match officials from the ICC Elite Panel of Match Officials and the ICC International Panel of Match Officials.

The ICC further added that keeping in mind that umpires appointed may be less experienced, an additional unsuccessful review have also been approved per inning for teams. Subsequently, the number of unsuccessful reviews per innings for each team has risen to three in Tests and two in the white-ball formats.

“The ICC cricket operations team will support Match Referees when processing code of conduct breaches, and a neutral elite panel match referee will conduct any hearing remotely via video link,” the ICC said.

(* means Rohit Sharma is playing International Cricket, so his stats will change accordingly.)

Its 2:1 means Rohit Sharma is better than Tillakaratne Dilshan. We did comparison of their batting because they are batsmen. They both are part time bowlers but they create impact with their batting. Rohit Sharma plays for India and is vice-captain of Indian Team.. Tillakaratne Dilshan is retired from International Cricket and he played for Sri Lanka. Both are very aggressive opening batsmen. Rohit Sharma is a first batsman who scored 5 hundreds in a single world cup addition. He is known as a backbone of Indian batting lineup along with Virat Kohli. Tillakaratne Dilshan was also known as backbone of Sri Lankan batting lineup. After his retirement Sril Lankan team struggles in opening slot and hasn't found a single opener like Dilshan.. Both have millions of die hard fans who follow them and their batting style.. My favourite is Rohit Sharma because of his pull short. Tell me your favourite in comments.
