Pakistan players ask PCB to reschedule Sri Lanka tour dates

Posted: 18 Feb 2012 06:50 AM PST


Keen to play lucrative Twenty20 leagues abroad, some Pakistani cricketers have asked the PCB to re-jig the dates for the tour to Sri Lanka in June-July.

PCB sources said some players had committed to playing in the T20 league in England in June and some dates were clashing with the Pakistan team’s tour to Sri Lanka.

“These players now want the Board to make minor changes to the tour itinerary for which the PCB has agreed to speak to the Sri Lankan board,” one source said.

Pakistani players have remained in high demand to play in different foreign T20 leagues including those held in Australia, England, South Africa and now Bangladesh.

A total of 18 Pakistani players are presently taking part in the Bangladesh Premier League at a time when the domestic cricket season is also being held in the country.

The Pentangular Cup final is scheduled to be held between February 18 and 22 between Sindh and Punjab provinces but most of the top players belonging to these provinces are playing in the BPL.

Some former Test players have raised questions over the Board’s policy to allow players to play in foreign T20 leagues at the cost of domestic cricket.

“The PCB doesn’t appear to have a clear policy on giving NOCs to players to play in foreign leagues because it is only devaluing the Pentangular Cup by allowing so many players to go and play in the Bangladesh league at the same time,” former Test player Basit Ali said.

He pointed out that while board had given NOCs to many players at same time it had stopped some players from going to Bangladesh.

“It makes no sense at all to me. The PCB has no issues with players earning extra money as long as they don’t clash with national commitments. The changes in dates asked for by the players are minor in nature and the Sri Lankan board is yet to confirm the itinerary for the tour,” a board official said.

Sources said the Sri Lankan board had sent a tentative itinerary to the board for approval after which the players raised issues with the dates.

Interestingly, the Indian Premier League continues to ignore the Pakistani players after signing some of them for the first season in 2008.

India vs Australia 7th ODI Tri-Series 2012: Match Preview

Posted: 18 Feb 2012 06:25 AM PST


Australia’s back-to-back losses have thrown the ODI tri-series open and a revitalised India would look to corner the struggling and injury-hit hosts when the two sides clash in the critical second phase of the league on Sunday.

Pleasantly surprised to see themselves atop the table at the halfway stage, India are aware the arduous climb would only begin in earnest from now on.

Sri Lanka scrambled the stakes with a damning defeat of Australia in Sydney last night — the likes of which the hosts have rarely suffered — and might just be peaking at the right time in the tournament.

Little separates the three teams and all could change in a matter of two games. The Gabba double-header thus assumes enormous significance for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men.

India have shown their appreciation of the situation and the last couple of days have been hard work-outs for the boys at the venue.

The vexed issue of dropping one of the three openers has worked itself out with the likely absence of Virender Sehwag in the day-night encounter.

Sehwag is ill at ease with his back spasm and even though he stayed around in the nets and also padded up at the fag end for a few hits, the right-hander looks a non-starter.

It would give an extension to the in-form Gautam Gambhir, not to forget yet another shot at the elusive 100th century to Sachin Tendulkar, both of whom straining at the leash to stamp themselves on the Australians who have been ruinous to their reputation this summer.

Gambhir has kicked on with two brilliant near-centuries in Adelaide and has 188 runs from three matches at 62.65 average. He also has a notable strike rate of 83.55 which has made him an enviable anchor for other two teams.

The Delhi opener has allowed others to feed off his long stays at the crease.

The rotation thus would have to be centred around the bowlers but it too isn’t a straightforward decision. The bouncy pitch at Gabba demands that India go with an extra medium-fast bowler at the expense of a spinner.

So far Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have been the go-to spinners for the Indians. One of them could sit out to accommodate Irfan Pathan, impressive in his first game, as Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav, not to forget Praveen Kumar, have legitimate calls to be included in the eleven.

Vinay Kumar, who has played four straight matches, could sit out to allow others a game in the middle.

India, to be fair, have enhanced their one-day reputation on the present tour. A largely young side, they surely have a good grasp of one-day ethics.

The bowlers have learnt to bowl to their field; the lower half knows how to stitch runs together in the final overs. The fielding is keen and eager and India thus are an all-round package, led ably and efficiently by Dhoni.

Australia, meanwhile, are in a muddle. Their top order is just not functioning and there is too much on the plate for Hussey brothers — David and Mike — in the middle. Michael Clarke’s absence due to a hamstring pull couldn’t have come at a worse time for the hosts.

Ricky Ponting, who only now had begun to breathe easily after a sumptuous Test series, once again is causing derision with his utterly miserable one-day series so far.

The mighty right-hander has a mere 11 runs from four innings at a 2.75 average. His bat presently has all edges and no middle.

The extra bow in his quiver, the one of captaincy, too has gone limp given the thrashing by Sri Lanka the other night.

Left-handed opener David Warner is causing a revision in opinion about his talent. He is eye-catching but rarely so appealing while defending.

He has 71 runs from four innings at 17.75 and Australia are worried about the turbulence at the top.

Young Matthew Wade and Peter Forrest though promise a lot and Hussey brothers continue to be a formidable presence in the middle. Between themselves, the two Husseys have clouted 25 fours and five sixes.

Australia also are not quite pleased with their bowling.

Left-armer Mitchell Starc has four wickets from four matches at a disappointing average of 41.00. His economy rate of 5.89 isn’t pleasing either.

Brett Lee’s return to the bowling crease was a forgettable affair last night as the experienced paceman conceded 42 runs in his seven overs.

Two young bowlers, Clint McKay and Xavier Doherty, have been game performers though. McKay has nine wickets at 16.22 while Doherty has claimed six at 21.50 average.

Australia though need a cutting edge from their bowlers with the new ball. It’s as good a time as ever to return to Ben Hilfenhaus, now that Ryan Harris has been left out in the cold.

The dice is loaded against Australia and one more defeat tomorrow could throw the cat among the pigeons.(PTI)
