 BCCI on Friday evening announced a jumbo squad for Indian cricket team’s upcoming tour of the UK where they will five Test matches. With Virat Kholi as the skipper and Ajynka rahane as his Vice.

While the usual suspects have made the cut in the 20-man squad, there were few surprise exclusions. As Australian tour taught us the importance of having reserved players considering the coronavirus pandemic, BCCI also named four standby players as well and managed to spring a surprise in it too.

While star batsmen Prithi shaw was excluded.. Hardik Pandya was also another person excluded!

While Prasidh Krishna and Avesh khan where named Standbys!

  The European Championship final on Sunday pits England and Italy against each other. England took the lead with a Luke Shaw strike in the 2nd minute, the quickest ever goal in an Euro final. Leonardo Bonucci scored the equaliser for Italy in the 67th minute. The score remained 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes as well as after Extra-Time. Italy won 3-2 on penalties.  Italy, one of the most decorated teams in the world, have ended a few years of trophy drought. England, on the other hand, were in uncharted territory. They haven’t even reached a final since 1966. The last of Italy’s four World Cup victories came in 2006, when Chiellini had already made his international debut but didn’t play at the tournament. But the team is a comparative underachiever in the Euros with its only title in 1968. Italy, however, has already reached the final twice in recent years — in 2000 and 2012 — whereas England hasn’t got close until now. With the  pandemic  restricting travel to London, the permitted cr

Sri lanka's Batting woe continues! Yes you heard that right, from the Bangladesh ODIs to the England whiteball series their batting was POOR! And just as thy batted well in the ODIs. alas, 128 all out against India on a flat pitch which even 200 was able! I India won the first game quite comfortably and now they have a chance of securing the T20I series with a game to spare. Sri Lanka were disappointing in the first game but there were a few positives for them.   Same number of matches! 😁 What happened in the last game? India dominated the first T20I! Yes, that is what happened in the first game. India after being put into bat, scored 164 runs with Suryakumar Yadav who scored a fine 50. Shikhar Dhawan and Sanju Samson played well too but Sri Lanka made a good comeback at the death. Wanindu Hasaranga was the pick of the bowlers while the seamers used the slower balls to perfection.   Sri Lanka with the bat were disappointing. They just could not cope up with the pitch and they stru
