England Women ke Sri Lanka T20Is WPL se overlap honge, Champions Trophy build-up ka schedule set

England agle saal February 1 se 5 tak Sri Lanka me teen T20Is khelega, jo India me WPL ke final week se clash karta hai; WPL February 7 ko khatam hoti hai. Ye series inaugural Women’s Champions Trophy (T20 format) se pehle schedule hai, jo India me February 14 se 28 tak chalegi, aur boards players ko allow kar sakte hain ki jo abhi bhi WPL me involved hain wo national duty ke liye report karne ke bajay wahin ruk jaayen.

Champions Trophy ke baad England March 4 se 8 tak Sri Lanka me teen ODIs khelega, sab Dambulla me, jabki February wale T20Is Pallekele me honge. England January me India me red-ball training camp bhi karega, Charlotte Edwards ki us call ke baad jisme unhone July me Lord’s par India ki 270-run win ke baad Test cricket par zyada focus ki baat ki thi; us camp ke liye selection agle kuch hafton me due hai.

Fleming: England job aakhirkar ek English coach ko hi milni chahiye

Stephen Fleming ka kehna hai ki England ki Test side ko ideally ek Englishman coach kare, aur homegrown coaches develop karna unke four-year stint ka central hissa hoga. Fleming, Brendon McCullum ke baad post sambhalne wale doosre consecutive New Zealander, ne BBC Radio 5 Live ko bataya ki wo ek clear pathway chahte hain, aur apne naye support staff ki make-up ko us direction me ek step ke taur par point kiya.

Richard Dawson, James Foster aur Marcus Trescothick set-up ke around key figures me hain, saath hi Jonathan Trott is winter England Lions ko coach karne wale hain aur Mike Yardy ko ECB me national batting lead appoint kiya gaya hai. Fleming ne ye bhi kaha ki wo chahte hain county coaches schedules allow karein to England ke saath time spend karein, aur suggest kiya ki South Africa me England phir se part-time spin options jaise Jacob Bethell, Dan Lawrence aur Joe Root par lean kar sakta hai, jahan wo December me pehli baar charge lenge.

Santner ne Christchurch opener se pehle Bhuvneshwar threat aur India ki power ko highlight kiya

Mitchell Santner ka maanna hai ki Bhuvneshwar Kumar New Zealand conditions me khub enjoy karenge jab India ki five-match T20I series Thursday ko Christchurch me start hogi, aur seamer lagbhag chaar saal baad India colours me wapas aaya hai. Santner ne kaha ki Bhuvneshwar ki ball ko swing aur nip karane ki ability unhe flat pitches par bhi dangerous banati hai, jabki India captain Shreyas Iyer ne unke experience ka welcome kiya jo pace group me add hota hai, jisme recent times me kaafi new faces rahe hain.

New Zealand India ke top-order hitting ke liye bhi prepare kar raha hai, kyunki March me T20 World Cup final me pichhli baar ki meeting me Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma aur Ishan Kishan ne India ko 255 tak power kiya tha. Santner ne Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ke potential impact ko bhi highlight kiya, aur expect kiya ki series me conditions vary karengi, jahan Hagley Oval ki badi boundaries bowlers ko kuch help de sakti hain.

Shami ka zor: main ‘abhi bhi peak par hoon’ aur India recall ke liye push kar raha hoon

Mohammed Shami ka kehna hai ki wo fully fit hain, achchi rhythm me bowling kar rahe hain aur international return par give up karne ka koi irada nahi hai, chahe unhe New Zealand tour ke liye India ke Test aur ODI squads se bahar rakha gaya ho. Services ke against Bengal ke Ranji Trophy match ke baad baat karte hue Shami ne kaha ki unka focus jitna ho sake utna domestic cricket khelne par hai, taaki wo ready rahen aur formats ke across rhythm maintain kar saken.

Shami ne India ke liye last March 2025 me Champions Trophy me khela tha, jahan wo Varun Chakaravarthy ke saath India ke joint-highest wicket-taker rahe the, dono ke 9 wickets the. Unhone kaha ki selectors se unka contact nahi hua hai kyunki wo squad me nahi hain, aur Services ke against field par na aana ek spin-friendly pitch par tactical choice tha taaki younger bowlers ko opportunity mile, fitness issue ki wajah se nahi.
