    Cricket Australia postpones the three-match ODI series between Australia women and India women scheduled to play in January 2021.

    India Women tour of Australia Postponed 

    India Women cricket team has been scheduled to play 3 ODI matches against Australia on January 22 in Canberra, January 25 in Melbourne, and January 28 in Hobart.

    The World Cup’s postponement to 2022 is understood to be a factor in this decision. Which effectively means that India women will continue to be without cricket since the women’s T20 World Cup final on March 8 this year.

    However, the governing body added the tour will now be a part of the build-up to the 2022 World Cup, which has been pushed to March-April due to the pandemic and will include three T20Is.

    “We are very hopeful of delivering an expanded schedule between the Australian and Indian women’s teams for next season, which would be an outstanding result for fans in both countries,” Hockley said.

    “We had initially hoped to play India this summer, however, the impact of the global pandemic made it necessary to postpone until next season.

    “It will be wonderful to once again host the Indian women’s team, who were centre stage for that unforgettable ICC T20 World Cup final at the MCG in March, and to do so with an expanded schedule from what was originally planned.”

    Dates and venues of the postponed tour will be confirmed in due course, CA said.

    As things stand, India will at best take the field next in February, if a limited-overs assignment against Sri Lanka, presently being discussed between the two boards, does take place – either at home or away.

    Man of the match 

    Alex Hales

    It is different (about the PowerPlay) and as an opener, you’d have to target overs 2, 3, and 4. The pitch was really nice. Something I looked to do tonight was to hit through the leg-side.

    It’s great to have Sam (Billings) in the side, we are confident and be enjoying ourselves out there. The middle-order has gone well and everyone seems to be firing. Few days off and we’ll be back fresh.

    Stand-in skipper Rahane praises Gill and Siraj for the victory in 2nd test vs Australia

    Post the marvelous victory in the 2nd test vs Australia Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane praises Siraj and Gill. After facing a loss in the 1st test vs Australia, India beat the Aussies by 8 wickets and equal the series as 1-1.

    The target of 70 was never a big one but for a team that was bowled out for its all-time lowest score of 36 only 10 days back, one can’t fault them if that played at the back of their minds. Shubman Gill (35 not out) and skipper Rahane (27 not out) knocked off the runs in 15.5 overs to complete the victory.

    Rahane Praises Siraj and Gill 

    Talking about the historic win against Australia, stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane hailed the debutants Shubman Gill and Mohd Siraj, “Really proud of all the players. Played really well.

    Australia vs India 2nd Test highlights
    Australia vs India 2nd Test

    Want to give credit to the debutants Siraj and Gill, the character they showed after the Adelaide loss was great to see. The character was important for us, especially after losing Umesh in the second innings.”

    “That (five-bowler plan) worked well for us nicely. We were thinking of having an all-rounder and Jadeja has been brilliant for us. Shubman, we all know his First-class career and in this game, he has shown the intent to play shots at this level. Has shown composure.”

    Rahane, who led the team from the front with his first-innings ton, also said,”Siraj has shown that he can bowl with discipline. It’s really difficult for debutants to bowl with discipline but that’s where I think the First-class experience comes in handy. The talk was all about showing the attitude and intent on the field.”

    Will Umesh Yadav returns to 3rd Test vs Australia?

    The skipper also said that Umesh is recovering well. Management and medical staff will make the call if he would be able to play in the next Test.

The third test is scheduled to begin on Jan. 7.

    South Africa spinner Imran Tahir, who was due to represent Melbourne Renegades in the BBL 2020, has withdrawn from Australia’s premier T20 competition owing to personal reasons.

    Imran Tahir Withdraws from BBL 2020

    Tahir had been in doubt to play in the BBL after his arrival was delayed in December with the Australian government requiring overseas players to do a 14-day quarantine in a hotel room prior to being available to play.

    Coach Michael Klinger has said that Tahir withdrawing from the competition is a huge blow but the team is counting on the 15-year-old Noor Ahmad.

    “Unfortunately, Imran is not coming for personal reasons. He’s a great player so it is a loss. But at the same time we’ve seen Noor Ahmad a couple of games ago, a bowler who people haven’t seen that much, it might actually work in our favour.

    He’ll now be able to play a fair chunk of that back end of the season, with Imad Wasim. Nabi has to go home for international duty. It is a loss but at the same time what a huge opportunity for young Noor to come in and have a huge impact on the BBL,” Kling said.

    “The mood is still pretty good because we know what we’re capable of doing. We saw in game one how well we played. We know we’ve got the ability in the group to really come out and perform well,” he added.

    Tahir’s performance in IPL 2020

    Earlier Imran Tahir has also spent his time in the bio-secure bubble in UAE where he assigned to play for CSK. But due to lots and lots of confusion Imran Tahir has bowled only in 3 matches and picks only 1 wicket.

    CSK for the first time in its history failed to enter the playoff after missing the service of its Key players. CSK is expected to come back with boom in the IPL 2021 for which they are well known.
