Australia, on Wednesday (May 1), announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, scheduled to be played in June in the United States and the Caribbeans.

The 2021 T20 World Cup winners have taken some big calls as they eye their second title. They have left out veteran batsman Steve Smith as well as young sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk for the marquee event. Smith has participated in four T20 World Cup editions so far.

Incidentally, his maiden T20 World Cup appearance came in 2010 which was hosted in the Caribbeans as well. Later, he played in the 2016, 2021 and 2022 editions too. Overall, he played 19 games in the T20 World Cup and managed to score a modest 190 runs at an average of 19.

Fraser-McGurk is another notable absentee from the Australia squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Many expected him to be a part of the squad after his stunning exploits in the ongoing IPL 2024. Playing in the IPL for the first time, Fraser-McGurk has smashed 259 runs in 6 games at a strike-rate of 233. He has hit three half-centuries including two 15-ball fifties.

Australia squad for ICC T20 World Cup 2024:

Cameron Green and Ashton Agar have been included in the Australia squad. Not many expected them to play the World Cup after their lengthy absence from the Australia T20I squad. While Green has not played a T20I since November 2022, Agar's last T20I appearance came in October 2022.

Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh has been confirmed as the captain of the Australia for the tournament. The allrounder recently suffered a hamstring injury and had to return home from IPL where he was playing for Delhi Capitals. He was subsequently ruled out of the ongoing IPL 2024.

"It's been an immense privilege to play for my country and now an even greater honour to lead the squad to a World Cup," said Marsh

"We have had some strong success in recent times and I am hopeful that will continue in what looks like a wide-open tournament," he added.

Meanwhile, David Warner has been included in the team despite his struggles in the ongoing IPL. Travis Head is also a part of the squad after his impressive displays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis will be other allrounder options in the team apart from Green while Tim David is set to be finisher.

Australia have picked Matthew Wade and Josh Inglis as the wicketkeepers in the team. For the spin department, Australia have included two frontline spinners - Adam Zampa and Agar while Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Nathan Ellis are the frontline pacers of teh team.

Australia's T20 World Cup squad:

Mitch Marsh (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians suffered another defeat in the ongoing IPL 2024 as Lucknow Super Giants thrashed them by four wickets on Tuesday (April 30).

The defeat was MI's seventh of the season in ten games and their chances of making it to the playoffs are extremely bleak now even if they go on to win their remaining four league games. At present, they are languishing at the ninth spot in the IPL 2024 points table with just three wins and seven defeats.

Match review in short:

Asked to bat first, the five-time champions were off to a disaster start as they lost four wickets for just 27 runs inside the powerplay. The likes of Rohit Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (10), Tilak Varma (7) and Hardik Pandya (0) failed to get going with the bat.

The likes of Ishan Kishan (32), Nehal Wadhera (46) and Tim David (35*) then helped the Mumbai-based outfit post a respectable although modest total of 144 for 7 in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, LSG chased down the total in 19.2 overs.

After Marcus Stoinis' 62-run knock laid the foundation for the chase, LSG did stutter towards the end but Nicholas Pooran stood firm at one end and took his team home comfortably in the end.

Hardik Pandya heavily fined:

After the defeat, Hardik Pandya was also slapped with a heavy fine for his team's slow over-rate offence. In a statement, the IPL confirmed that the MI skipper has been fined a whopping Rs 24 lakh for his team's failure to complete the overs in the allotted time. This is the second time Hardik Pandya has been fined for slow over-rate in the ongoing IPL 2024.

Earlier this season, he was fined Rs 12 lakh for his team's slow over-rate offence against Punjab Kings. Apart from the captain, the other members of the playing eleven including the impact player were fined too. Each player received a fine of either Rs 6 lakh or 25% of their individual match fees, whichever is lower.

"Mr Hardik Pandya, Captain, Mumbai Indians has been fined after his team maintained a slow over-rate during Match 48 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on April 30, 2024," the IPL statement read.

"As it was his team’s second offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Pandya was fined INR 24 Lac. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 6 Lac or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," it added.

MI will be in action next on Friday (May 3) when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium.

Irfan Pathan has blamed Hardik Pandya for Mumbai Indians' poor performance in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The former India allrounder made the remarks after Mumbai Indians' four-wicket defeat against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday (April 30).

The defeat has all but sealed Mumbai Indians' fate in the ongoing IPL 2024. Their chances of progressing to the playoffs are extremely bleak now. At present, the five-time IPL champions are languishing at the ninth spot in the points table with just three wins from 10 games. Even if they go on to win their remaining four league games, they are unlikely to make it to the next round.

Mumbai Indians failed to come up with a clinical effort against Lucknow Super Giants as well. Asked to bat first, they could post only a modest total of 144 for 7 in 20 overs. Mumbai Indians lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (10), Tilak Varma (7) and Hardik Pandya (0) for just 27 runs inside the powerplay and just could not recover.

Nehal Wadhera top-scored for the team, scoring 46 while Ishan Kishan (32) and Tim David (35*) played crucial knocks as well. In reply, Lucknow Super Giants chased down the total in 19.2 overs with Marcus Stoinis' 62-run knock making the difference.

Irfan Pathan slams Hardik Pandya:

As Mumbai Indians suffered another defeat in the ongoing IPL 2024, Irfan Pathan pinned the blame on Hardik Pandya for their poor run in the competition. Soon after Mumbai Indians' loss against Lucknow Super Giants, the former cricketer-turned-commentator took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his views on what has gone wrong for the Mumbai-based outfit this season.

He highlighted that Mumbai Indians managed to make it to the playoffs last year even without their talisman Jasprit Bumrah before highlighting that Hardik Pandya's poor captaincy is the reason behind their dismal show this season.

"The team Mumbai Indians that qualified last year didn’t have Jasprit Bumrah but this season they had his services. Still, they are in this situation. Purely because the team wasn’t managed well on the ground. Too many mistakes by their captain Hardik Pandya. It’s the truth," Irfan Pathan said.

The team mumbai Indians that qualified last year didn’t had Jasprit Bumrah but this season they had his services. Still they are in this situation. Purely because the team wasn’t managed well on the ground. Too many mistakes by their captain Hardik Pandya. It’s the truth.

— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) April 30, 2024

This is not the first time this season that Irfan Pathan has taken a dig at Hardik Pandya. Earlier, he had stated that the Mumbai Indians skipper's hitting ability had gone down. He had also criticized his death bowling as well as captaincy last month.

Hardik Pandya’s hitting ability is going down. That’s a big worry on a larger picture. At the wankhede he is different but on pitches where there is little help is what is worrisome for him.

— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) April 22, 2024

Hardik Pandya bowling the last over showed the lack of faith on Akash madhwal’s bowling and his own lack of skill as a death over bowler.

Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu expressed disappointment over the exclusion of Rinku Singh from India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. Navjot Singh Sidhu stated that Rinku Singh could fill the void left by MS Dhoni as a finisher in the Indian team.

On Tuesday, April 30, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the upcoming ICC tournament. Rinku Singh, KL Rahul, and Shubman Gill were excluded from the squad. Rinku Singh failed to make it to the squad despite impressive performances in T20I matches.

The 26-year-old grabbed attention with his impressive performances in the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL). The left-handed batter made his T20I debut for India in August 2023. Rinku has scored 365 runs in 15 matches at an impressive average of 89 and an outstanding strike rate of 176.2.

Rinku has had limited chances in the ongoing IPL with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The young batter has scored 112 runs at an average of 22.40 and a strike rate of 157.75, with a best score of 26. The Uttar Pradesh batter's omission from the squad has disappointed fans and cricket experts.

Rinku Singh, The Only Finisher - Navjot Singh Sidhu

Navjot Singh Sidhu has voiced his support for Rinku Singh, stating that the young player has the potential to fill the void left by MS Dhoni in the national team.

"Rinku Singh , the only finisher in Indian cricket who can fill the void left by the great Dhoni!," wrote Sidhu on X formerly known as Twitter.

Rinku's omission is similar to Ambati Rayudu's exclusion before the 2019 ODI World Cup. However, Rinku has a chance to join the 15-man squad if any first-team members get injured, as he is part of the traveling reserves. The selectors have until May 23 to make changes to the squad if needed.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube was named in the squad ahead of Rinku Singh. Shivam Dube has delivered impressive performances in the ongoing IPL season. The middle-order batter has scored 350 runs in nine innings at an average of 58.33 and a strike rate of 172.41.

India's T20 World Cup Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Mohammed Siraj.

Reserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan.

Rinku Singh Can Take MS Dhoni's Place - Navjot Singh Sidhu

While speaking to Star Sports, Navjot Singh Sidhu stated that Rinku Singh could take MS Dhoni’s place as a finisher for Team India. Sidhu described Rinku as the future of Indian cricket, believing that he will serve as a finisher for a long time.

“Rinku Singh can take MS Dhoni’s place. He can finish games like the veteran player. Rinku is talented and can hit shots to all parts of the ground. Like Mahi, he is calm and relaxed and takes no pressure despite challenging situations. He is the future of the Indian cricket and he will play a role of a finisher for a long time," Sidhu said.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif bashed the Lucknow Super Giants team management for forcing Mayank Yadav to play despite not being fully fit.

Mayank Yadav, who shot to fame on his debut match for the Super Giants for his ability to bowl at 150 regularly, has been dealing with an abdominal injury. The youngster, who was even being touted to make it to the Indian squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, has reportedly once again felt pain in the same area.

What exactly happened to Mayank Yadav?

Mayank Yadav had to leave the field mid-game due to an injury scare in the 1st innings against Mumbai Indians at the Ekana stadium in Lucknow.

Mayank had bowled his first 3 overs quite comfortably with fans and expert pundits extremely delighted to see him back on the field. He might have had a near-tremendous debut IPL season but it has been plagued with injuries.

After playing his first two matches against the Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mayank Yadav has not been able to play an entire game of cricket. He had registered man of the match-winning figures in both of his first two matches collecting 3/27 against Punjab and 3/14 against Bengaluru.

However, in his 3rd game against the Gujarat Titans on 7th April, Mayank Yadav left the field in evident pain just after bowling one over from his 4.

Mayank had reported pain on his abdomen and had also felt tightness and soreness in his right hip. He went through a series of scans and followed a recovery regime before making his comeback last night.

But in the match against Mumbai Indians in which LSG won by 4 wickets, Mayank Yadav left after bowling 3.1 overs, picking 1 wicket and leaking 31 runs. Head coach Justin Langer confirmed after the match that the 21-year-old is feeling soreness on his abdomen again.

Langer also revealed that Mayank had an excellent recovery lay-off but his current injury situation will be found out only after a few scans. "Looks like he is sore in the same spot. His rehab has been perfect, he bowled pain-free in the last week and looked in great condition." - Langer told reporters.

LSG management's enforcement to play Mayank triggers Mohammad Kaif

After the match ended, Mohammad Kaif took to his X handle and targeted LSG coaches and captain for their carelessness in handling Mayank's injury. Kaif went on a 1-minute rant. He first labeled Mayank Yadav as a National treasure and appealed to the LSG management to not make him play if he is not 100% fit.

Mayank Yadav left the field again. Did LSG rush him after injury break? Indian cricket needs to preserve him, he's a precious talent who bowls at 150 kph consistently. pic.twitter.com/yudtbMdeKO

— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) April 30, 2024

Kaif expressed his scare that if not treated carefully and rightly, Mayank Yadav's injury could become a life as well as career-threatening one. He slammed Langer and KL Rahul for being selfish about the team, grabbing 2 points in the richest league and not caring about a player who has just started off his career.

Mohammad Kaif lastly appealed to the LSG team to keep Mayank safe and treat his injury cautiously.

"See, this is a request from my side, Mayank Yadav is a national treasure, if he is not fully fit then please don't force him to play. I thought he was being forced (to play). He bowled and then went out of the ground, this has happened a couple of times now. I request with folded hands that, he is the kind of a fast bowler who in case gets injured, might even end up having a life-threatening injury if you constantly push him to play and he is not unable to gain full fitness."

"I can understand that it's a pressure-filled tournament, you want your team to play, win, and grab 2 points, it is IPL - the biggest tournament in the world but please don't play with anyone's life. It can become a career-threatening injury."

"You are pushing him to play again and again. He was not fully fit, it was wrong whatever happened, Lucknow forced him to play, and he is injured, give him proper time to recover, this is a special request from my side to the Lucknow team. Please." - Mohammad Kaif said via his X account.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pace sensation Mayank Yadav made a stunning comeback after a long gap during the 48th match of the ongoing IPL 2024 against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, April 30.

However, Mayank’s comeback was unfortunately short-lived, as the young fast bowler had to leave the field after delivering just one ball in his third over during the LSG vs MI IPL 2024 clash in Lucknow. He already missed the previous five matches for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) due to abdominal soreness in the ongoing IPL 2024, and now he has another injury scare.

The 21-year-old speedster impressed one and all with his remarkable pace and accuracy in his first three matches for the LSG this season. Well, the LSG's head coach, Justin Langer, expressed concerns that Mayank might have aggravated the same injury that had sidelined him before the crucial IPL 2024 match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Lucknow on Tuesday.

Jasprit Bumrah gave valuable advice to Mayank Yadav

Meanwhile, after the LSG vs MI match, which Lucknow won by four wickets, Mayank was spotted back on the field and was receiving some words of wisdom from India and Mumbai Indians (MI) senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah. In a video shared by IPL on X, Bumrah can be seen engaging in conversation with Mayank and his fellow LSG pacer, Yash Thakur.

Notably, Bumrah himself has endured significant injury setbacks and even missed the IPL and major tournaments like the 2022 T20 World Cup due to a back injury. However, Bumrah made a remarkable comeback and strengthened his position as the premier bowler in the world across all formats. Given that, Bumrah's valuable advice could help the young pacer.

Well, the Indian pacer was seen sharing insights and words of encouragement with the young bowlers Mayank and Thakur after the IPL 2024 clash in Lucknow, and a video of the heartwarming moment is going viral on social media. Fans are lauding Bumrah for his heartfelt gesture on the internet.

Giving an update on Mayank’s condition, the LSG head coach Justin Langer stated after the match: “Looks like he is sore in the same spot. His rehab has been perfect, he bowled pain-free in the last week and looked in great condition. But we'll have a scan and find out tomorrow.”

Speaking about the LSG vs MI IPL 2024 match, Lucknow skipper KL Rahul won the toss and decided to bowl first against Mumbai at Ekana Cricket Stadium. They restricted MI to 144/7 in their 20 overs thanks to Mohsin Khan’s 2/36 and cumulative efforts from other LSG bowlers.

Chasing the target, Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis single-handedly took LSG over the line with four balls to spare against MI in Lucknow. Stoinis played a brilliant knock of 62 runs off 45 balls, laced with seven fours and two sixes, against Mumbai. MI skipper Hardik Pandya (2/26) was the standout performer for the tourists in the IPL clash against Lucknow.
