It is a year to the week since Jonathan Trott made his Test debut in the Ashes decider at The Oval, and after a year of highs and lows that would have tested the mettle of any cricketer, he is back at the scene of his finest hour

Andrew Miller at The Oval16-Aug-2010It is a year to the week since Jonathan Trott made his Test debut in the Ashes decider at The Oval, and after a year of highs and lows that would have tested the mettle of any cricketer, he is back at the scene of his finest hour, and in arguably the most liberated frame of mind since that remarkable week last August.Trott’s travails have been among the most documented of any of the England squad in the past 12 months. The ice-cool character who compiled twin scores of 41 and 119 on debut against Australia gave way with alarming haste last winter to a fidgety imposter whose temperament appeared to buckle during a tough return to his native South Africa, in particular when his peculiar and time-consuming rituals at the crease were dragged into the media spotlight.But despite regular jibes about the security of his role, Trott’s value to the England team was in full evidence at Edgbaston last week when, in front of his home crowd, he compiled half-centuries in each innings to ensure that England did not squander the advantage that their bowlers had earned in bowling Pakistan out for 72 on the first morning. No other batsman came close to matching the calm authority that he brought to his game, and on the eve of his return to The Oval to face Pakistan, it feels as though his career has come full circle.”The last time I sat here it was a lot fuller,” Trott joked as he returned to the press briefing room in the Oval pavilion. “It’s been a year full of memories, starting here. In that time I’ve been working really hard on my game to improve as a player and contribute to winning matches and series for England. I think I’m a better player now. It may be a cliché, but I feel I’ve learned a lot from my experiences, and there are things I probably do differently now, or take a different approach to.”Regardless of the mixed reception that Trott has received since his elevation to the Test side, there’s no arguing with the numbers he has crunched in that time. In 11 Tests he has racked up 923 runs at 51.27, while contributing to eight victories – including six in a row since the tour of Bangladesh in March – and just a solitary defeat, in Johannesburg in January. The manner in which his confidence has grown has mirrored that of the team as a whole, and he credits the management pairing of Andy Flower and Andrew Strauss for cultivating an atmosphere of inclusivity.”Coming into a team is like getting a new job,” said Trott. “You have to find your role in the team and the dressing room, and all of the background stuff is just as important as what you see on the pitch. But Andy Flower and Andrew Strauss have a big emphasis on pulling the new players in and putting an arm around them. It’s certainly not a feeling of being thrown in at the deep end and seeing if you can swim. It’s put more positively. ‘You can succeed at this level, you’re good enough so go and take your chance’.”Leaving aside his brief and unsuccessful stint in the Twenty20 set-up in 2007, Trott’s first taste of the England environment came ahead of the fourth Test at Headingley last summer, when he linked up with the squad amid concerns about Andrew Flintoff’s fitness, but was eventually released before the match got underway. “I came down to have a drink with Andy and Straussy and I was made very welcome,” he recalled. “It wasn’t just a case of ‘here’s your room key, see you at practice’.”Missing that Headingley match turned out to be a blessing for Trott. England were routed by an innings inside three days, but instead of getting wrapped up in the post-mortem, he was able to save his energies for his remarkable rescue mission in the fifth and final Test. “I was fresh and excited, and champing at the bit to succeed and do well for the team,” he said. “The other guys had been on an emotional rollercoaster and were so tired after the fifth game, so I had come in quite fresh and raring to go, so in hindsight that helped.”A feature of Trott’s performance in that Oval Test was his purposeful footwork. He strode forward to the pacemen and spinners alike, and in so doing exuded a confidence that belied his debutant status. Some of that same authority was on display on a treacherous surface at Edgbaston last week, as Trott set himself to dominate where others remained diffident.”Moving my feet well and in a positive manner expresses what I want to express, meaning good body language and good intent,” said Trott. “I use the word intent a lot when I think about my batting, and when I’m at the crease I think ‘is my intent right here, have I got my focus where I want it to be?’ Intent to score runs is just as important as intent to leave and be defensive. Leaving the ball with minimal footwork is just as bad as playing and missing with minimal footwork.”Alastair Cook would doubtless relate to that sentiment, after another iffy display at Edgbaston took his summer tally to 100 runs in seven innings. His match ended when he was trapped on the crease by Mohammad Amir on the fourth and final morning, and though he boosted his morale by smacking a carefree 38 from 22 balls for Essex in the t20 semi-final on Saturday, his place in the team is unquestionably on the line.Trott, however, offered his support and sympathy, after he himself had been forced to reaffirm his credentials following the tour of South Africa. “At the beginning of the Bangladesh series I was probably where he is now,” said Trott. “It’s only four Test matches since then, so it’s amazing how things change. But whenever I see Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss at the crease I feel very secure, so I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, claims a leading English football club is interested in bidding for a new team in the fourth edition of the IPL

Cricinfo staff16-Feb-2010Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, claims a leading English football club is interested in bidding for a new team in the fourth edition of the IPL next year. In an interview to the , Modi – also the Champions League Twenty20 commissioner – said he was in talks with the Marylebone Cricket Club who were also apparently eager to become involved in the IPL.”There is a football club, a very famous football club in the UK, very interested in bidding,” Modi said. “[They are] probably one of the most famous football clubs – that’s all I can say. Probably top three. They are interested in taking a stake.”Responding to speculation in the Indian media, Modi later said on his Twitter page that the club in mention was not Chelsea. A report in the named Manchester City as the team looking at buying a franchise although the club told Cricinfo they were not involved.The IPL will include two more teams from the 2011 season and will auction the franchise rights at a base price of $225 million ahead of the third season, which starts in India on March 12, and will invite potential investors this week. That figure – double of what the most expensive franchise was sold for in 2008 and more than four times the base price in that first auction – is, in an uncertain market, a sign of the league’s confidence in itself and the Twenty20 format.According to Modi, the MCC would be a value addition to the IPL and open up the possibility of taking the bandwagon overseas to Lord’s. “I have talked [to MCC] last night and they are quite interested,” he said.Keith Bradshaw, the MCC chief executive, did not deny he had been approached but would not confirm to join the IPL. “At the moment, our finances are focused on the redevelopment of the ground,” he said.The league’s expansion will see a much longer fixture list – 94 games as opposed to 59 in the first two seasons if the format remains the same – and accommodating it in the 45-day window without compromising players’ fitness, and keeping the international calendar in mind, will be a challenge.

“We must make sure we win the game rather than [allowing] the other team back into it”

Danyal Rasool29-Dec-2024Shan Masood lamented “the same mistakes” Pakistan keep making after they slipped to an eighth Test defeat on the trot in South Africa and their seventh in their last nine games. In a topsy-turvy game, the final twist belonged to South Africa as they recovered from an epic collapse that saw them lose four wickets for three runs to record an unbeaten 50-ball 51-run partnership that clinched victory by two wickets, and alongside it a berth in the World Test Championship final.”We had the game in our hand, whether with the bat or the ball,” Masood said. “I don’t have to add anything and sound like a broken record. [I’m] extremely proud of the efforts, but going forward as a team we need to be ruthless. We’ve been competing well in these conditions and I’ve said that before when we played in Australia in similar conditions. We had the game by the scruff of the neck and even here twice, we had them eight down and we thought we were in a reasonable position and even with the bat, when we could have extended our score in both innings.”Related

While Pakistan have not won in South Africa since 2007, they have never come as close as they did in this Test. But collapses with the bat in both innings – they lost 4 for 22 in the first innings and 7 for 84 in the second – were compounded by toothlessness in the field against the tail: South Africa’s ninth and tenth-wicket partnerships added a combined 139 across two innings for the loss of just two wickets.”All four innings [cost us]” Masood said. “We can only look at ourselves. You’re going to make mistakes over several days, but you need to have a cushion. I thought when it came to a time when we could get that cushion with the bat, first and third innings, or whether that was with the ball when we had them eight down on two occasions. We didn’t have that cushion, and then you get partnerships like Bosch’s innings and Rabada and Jansen, and you don’t have enough of a cushion to retain a winning position.”A failure to kill games off has been a familiar theme for Masood, one he has highlighted so often he was conscious of sounding “like a broken record”. In Australia, Pakistan found themselves in positions of dominance – or at least parity – in two of the three Tests, as well as in both games against Bangladesh. Pakistan have chopped and changed the personnel; the bowlers, coaches and selection panel have all been rejigged over this period. Masood maintained, though, that his team had the ability to get over the line.Shan Masood: I don’t have to add anything and sound like a broken record.

“I don’t think it’s a quality issue. The quality is there, and we’ve seen it at various points. To be a top team, to be in South Africa’s place, to play a WTC final, these are the things where you have to be ruthless.”Sometimes you learn the hard way. You can’t use it as an excuse but the more we play Test cricket, the more people get into sync. A lot of the players were playing for the first time in these conditions. It can be a really hard lesson where you feel like you’ve got the other team under pressure, but you still need to finish the job.”It can also feel like we’ve got a really good partnership with Saud [Shakeel] and Babar [Azam], or Kamran [Ghulam] and [Mohammad] Rizwan, or me and Saim [Ayub] in both innings and you feel that you can take them on and have a great score. You’re never set in these conditions whether with the bat or the ball. We’re learning the hard way through a defeat, but the challenge is that we have to respond to this and make sure once we get into winning positions, we must make sure we win the game rather than bring the other team back into it.”There was still enough encouragement from the Pakistan captain to highlight the contributions he felt merited more. Mohammad Abbas, playing, at 34, his first Test in over three years, bowled 19.3 unbroken overs across the second innings as he scrapped to pull a victory out of the hat for Pakistan, registering career-best figures of 6 for 54 in the second innings. He is now three wickets away from 100, and has the best Test bowling average for a Pakistani in history (minimum 15 wickets).”The message is clear, age is just a number,” Masood said. “The disappointing thing is a performance like that should be on the winning side. I also thought Saud Shakeel’s innings [was excellent] – if we had batted a bit better with him – he would have got a hundred. Those two performances deserved to be on the winning side, and unfortunately they’re not.”

“There’s a lot of good that can come from it if guys have the right attitude,” says former England captain

Vithushan Ehantharajah09-May-2024Joe Root has backed the use of the Kookaburra ball in the County Championship, believing it can help upskill domestic cricketers and bridge the gap to Test cricket.The Australian-made ball was used for the first two rounds of the Championship season, in which there were 17 draws across 18 matches. Though a large part of that was down to rain – Durham vs Hampshire and Derbyshire vs Gloucestershire were abandoned without a ball bowled – players complained the flatter seam was ineffective on damp, soft pitches and that the ball lost its shape quickly, compared to the regular Dukes.Those first two sets of fixtures saw a wicket fall every 73.7 balls, compared to 54.9 balls in the first two rounds of 2023. Among a large volume of runs was more playing time for spinners, with Surrey legspinner Cameron Steel topping the wicket-taker charts. The Kookaburra will return for another two rounds in August and September, when better weather should help produce firmer surfaces and lend itself to a fairer assessment.Related

The Kookaburra trial, one of the recommendations from Andrew Strauss’ high-performance review to encourage fast bowlers and spinners, began in 2023. While panned in some quarters – Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart regards the experiment as “the worst decision ever” – England men’s managing director Rob Key has suggested the Kookaburra could replace the Dukes as the domestic ball of choice.Root, who recently completed a five-game stint with Yorkshire – his first County Championship appearances since 2022 – has plenty of experience with the Kookaburra overseas, particularly in Australia, and sees the benefit of its use in England, not just for the Test side.”I don’t think it’s all about being able to use the Kookaburra ball when you go to Australia or South Africa,” Root said. “I think it’s about finding ways of taking wickets when nothing’s in your favour – and that’s a great skill.””I guess you could look at it and think: ‘there’s been a load of draws’ but also you could think: ‘well, this is an opportunity to upskill’ as well. ‘How am I going to take wickets with this ball in this format on these kinds of pitches? How can I become better?'”I think there’s a lot of good that can come from it if guys have the right attitude.”Root cited England’s progression in limited-overs cricket since 2015 as something that could be replicated by regular use of the Kookaburra. The evolution under Eoin Morgan, which saw ODI and T20I World Cup success in 2019 and 2022 respectively, trickled down and has resulted in a pool of high-calibre white-ball cricketers, many of whom missed out on selection for next month’s T20 World Cup.”Look at the progression and the development in white-ball cricket in this country over a five-year period. Look at the amount of players that we’ve got that can do special things. Look how quickly that transition has been made through the mindset shift in white-ball cricket in our country. I think the same thing can happen in red-ball cricket.”You’ve got to be open minded enough and understand that you might have to go through a little bit of pain to get there.”If we want to keep upskilling and getting the standard as close to Test cricket as we can, it’s not going to happen overnight. But in five, six, seven years’ time, if we can bridge that gap then that transition for guys coming into Test cricket will be a lot smaller.”

Jalal Yunus, BCB’s cricket operations chairman, non-committal about Tamim’s future as Bangladesh ODI captain

Mohammad Isam11-Jul-2023Tamim Iqbal will be travelling to Dubai and the United Kingdom later this month to have his back injury checked, BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus has confirmed. Tamim, whose retirement-unretirement drama hogged headlines in Bangladesh over the past few days, has been given a six-week break to recover from the injury. His back injury is now thought to be more of a serious concern, as he is seeking medical advice from overseas.”Tamim will be going to Dubai. He will then travel to the UK on July 25 or 26. He has two appointments in London. He will update me from there. We have to name the primary squad of 25-26 players [for the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup] soon, so we need to know his situation. Everyone else will be resting till July 30. Some will go to play abroad. We will restart with a conditioning camp,” Yunus told reporters after the third ODI against Afghanistan in Chattogram on Tuesday.Yunus, however, was non-committal on the captaincy issue – Tamim was the ODI captain before the goings-on over the past few days. “Let him come back first. We will discuss it with him. There’s a matter of his fitness. He said he will talk to us after he returns to the country.”Related

Some of the developments around Tamim were connected to BCB president Nazmul Hassan questioning Tamim’s professionalism in a newspaper interview on July 5, where Hassan had also said that head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe had been dissatisfied with the lack of clarity around Tamim’s injury.Did Hathurusinghe overstep his mark by going to Hassan?”I don’t think so,” Yunus said. “We all have discussions. We talk about a lot of things. In his capacity, he can speak to the president at any point. We discuss things regularly. He informs Shahriar Nafees, the cricket operations manager, and the board president and I are in the loop.”Yunus also said that the BCB is open to discussing Mashrafe Mortaza’s role as a team mentor during the 2023 men’s ODI World Cup, something Tamim reportedly suggested to prime minister Sheikh Hasina during their meeting on Friday. “The board will decide. He [Mashrafe] is a member of parliament. He is a former captain. He is a good leader. If he comes to us officially, we will discuss it,” Yunus said.

Kings collapse after breezy Sharjeel knock to finish with below par total

Danyal Rasool27-Jan-2022There was split opinion on whether the opening ceremony of this year’s Pakistan Super League fell flat, but there was universal congruity that the opening match certainly did. A drab, one-sided contest saw Mohammad Rizwan’s Multan Sultans, who won the toss and, as expected, opted to field first crush home favourites Karachi Kings by seven wickets.The Kings got off to a solid start but stuttered once a swashbuckling 31-ball 43 from Sharjeel Khan ended, and set the defending champions 125 for victory. Sultans were never in a rush to finish the game off, but the outcome was never in doubt, and by the 19th over, made official what everyone had known for a while – the Sultans had been much too good for the Kings.Imran Tahir was the Sultans superstar, derailing a Kings innings that perhaps never quite took off as it was meant to. Babar Azam’s role as T20 opener was much scrutinised in the wake of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup semifinal loss to Australia, and he didn’t do his reputation any favours with a scratchy 29-ball 23 for his side, allowing the Sultans to gain the early momentum.It was only thanks to Sharjeel, and some generous, gentle full tosses from Tim David that helped the Kings push their scoring rate up, and by the end of the 9th over, they had a solid platform, the scoreline reading 64 for none.The evergreen Tahir, though, would change all that when a googly drew Sharjeel Khan into miscuing one to point, and Khushdil Shah snared an off-colour Babar the following over. Joe Clarke and Mohammad Nabi struggled for timing badly as the Sultans applied the squeeze, and as the need for runs grew desperate, Tahir returned to gobble up a couple more wickets and send the Kings sliding further, his figures reading 4-0-16-3.The low target, combined with the expectation of heavy dew, meant Sultans strode out under little pressure, and batted like a side that knew it. Rizwan scored just one of his first 7, allowing Shan Masood to take the lead in the Powerplay. A few elegant shots from the left-hander, none more so than a classy drive back over Mohammad Imran’s head for six, set the tone early, and when Masood sent one straight to extra cover’s throat, he had perhaps already done his job with an 18-ball 26.Multan might look at this game and think this game needed to be killed off more ruthlessly. Sohaib Maqsood and Rizwan trundled along at around a run-a-ball, unencumbered by scoreboard pressure, but in the 15th over, with the Sultans at 101 for one and the game seemingly wrapped up, Nabi struck twice in an over, getting rid of Maqsood and Rossouw. Some nerves kept in as the gap between runs required and balls remaining shrunk, but they were more jitters than panic.Rizwan drove one beautifully over mid-off to bring up his half-century, and Tim David smashed another a few balls later over square leg for six to finish the Kings off. The stutter was over, and the defending champions are up and running.

The former India captain, who is part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators to oversee the BCCI, believes certain members of the board have not been pleased with the recent success of the women’s team

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Aug-2017The BCCI is a “male chauvinist organisation” that continues to look down upon women’s cricket in India, according to former India captain Diana Edulji. Speaking at a private event, Edulji, who is part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators that oversees the BCCI, also claimed that certain members within the board were not pleased by the impressive performances of the team at the recent Women’s World Cup in England.”I’ve always been a BCCI basher, right from the day women’s cricket came into the BCCI fold in 2006,” Edulji said, at an event organised by the Indian Express Group. “BCCI is a very male chauvinist organisation. They never wanted women to dictate terms or get into this thing. I was very vocal right from my playing days, from when I started. Even now, I would still say that it is not yet well accepted within BCCI that women’s cricket is doing well. It is very difficult for them (some BCCI members) to accept the fact that this team has done very well.””[In 2011], When Mr [N] Srinivasan became president, I would like to say that I went to congratulate him at the Wankhede Stadium. He said, ‘If I had my way, I wouldn’t let women’s cricket happen’.”India’s success at the Women’s World Cup, where they lost a tense final to England, will spur more interest and development in women’s cricket, according to the team’s batting sensation Harmanpreet Kaur, whose 171* in the semi-final against Australia propelled India into the final.”When I was young I would have to beg the girls to play with me so that we could form a team of 11 players. Eventually, I would have to gather girls who were good at other sports,” Harmanpreet said. “When I started, there wasn’t a single academy in Moga (Kaur’s hometown). My coach started one just for me. Now, there are three exclusively for women.”Kaur also expressed her enthusiasm for a women’s IPL in the near future, an idea that has been doing the rounds after India’s recent performances. “I hope we don’t end up saying many years later that ‘we also used to hit sixes during our time,'” she said. “So, I feel if IPL starts now, then it’s great.”

Shahzaib Hasan has appeared before the PCB’s three-man tribunal for the first time since being charged for alleged corruption

Umar Farooq21-Apr-2017Shahzaib Hasan has appeared before the PCB’s three-man tribunal for the first time since being charged for alleged corruption.Last month, the PCB handed Shahzaib a provisional suspension for allegedly failing to report a suspect approach in time and in full detail, and also for allegedly inducing players in corruption.Shahzaib attended the opening hearing along with his lawyer, Barrister Malik Kashif Rajwana, and agreed to the timelines to be adopted under the PCB’s Anti-Corruption Code, with a formal hearing set for June 1 in Lahore. The PCB, according to the procedure laid down by the tribunal, will submit its opening brief and submit its evidence on May 4.The tribunal, thereafter, will offer Shahzaib an opportunity to respond by May 18 and the PCB may, at its discretion, file a rebuttal by May 25. The final hearing will initiate on day-to-day basis from June 1 at the National Cricket Academy.In a separate proceeding, Shahzaib could also be facing more charges for breaches of the PCB’s anti-corruption code. As ESPNcricinfo reported on April 17, the PCB may have found fresh leads in the ongoing investigation into the allegations of corruption surrounding the second season of the Pakistan Super League. The board had issued fresh notices against the players, and asked them to appear for interviews before its Security and Vigilance Department on April 27.Shahzaib was the fifth player to come under the scanner during the second edition of the PSL in the UAE, and was charged with breaching three clauses of the PCB’s anti-corruption code. The player has reportedly accepted at least one minor charge that covers the non-reporting clause but has challenged the major breach that centered around inducing players in corruption directly or indirectly.It has been more than six years since the opening batsman Shahzaib last played for Pakistan, and the highlight of his brief international career of three ODIs and 10 T20Is was being part of the victorious World T20 side in 2009.

Michael Klinger will lead Western Australia in the Matador Cup and the young allrounder Ashton Turner has been elevated to the vice-captaincy for the tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff22-Sep-2015Michael Klinger will lead Western Australia in the Matador Cup and the young allrounder Ashton Turner has been elevated to the vice-captaincy for the tournament. Western Australia have named their 14-man squad for the one-day competition, and will be without their usual captain Adam Voges, who is part of the Test squad that will tour Bangladesh at the same time.The Warriors will also be without the Marsh brothers, Shaun and Mitchell, and the opening batsman Cameron Bancroft, all of whom are in the Test squad. Batsman Jonathan Wells has been included after moving from Tasmania.”We’ve got some good young players who’ve got some experience now and they’ll step up,” coach Justin Langer said. “Our Matador Cup team is very similar to last year. We only lose Adam Voges and Craig Simmons from our 2014 side. We’re looking to keep building this nursery and depth of talent.”We’re going to be hunted by everyone else. No one likes to see a back-to-back champion and we’ll certainly put our best foot forward to see if we can achieve that. It’s not going to be easy and we’ll have challenges, but we’ve had challenges for the last few years. The boys have found a way to overcome those and keep getting better and better.”The Matador Cup will begin on October 5 and this summer will feature seven teams, with a Cricket Australia XI to be formed from players who fail to make the 14-man squads named by the six states.Western Australia squad Michael Klinger (capt), Ashton Turner (vice-capt), Ashton Agar, Tom Beaton, Jason Behrendorff, Will Bosisto, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Marcus Harris, Simon Mackin, Joel Paris, Nathan Rimmington, Andrew Tye, Jonathon Wells, Sam Whiteman

The Bangladesh A batsmen struck out for the third straight time in England, resulting in a 7-wicket loss to Lancashire at Old Trafford in Manchester

ESPNcricinfo staff11-Aug-2013
ScorecardThe Bangladesh A batsmen struck out for the third straight time in England, resulting in a seven-wicket loss to Lancashire at Old Trafford in Manchester. Bangladesh had earlier struggled to chase down modest totals against Hampshire and Yorkshire, and this time, their first attempt to set up a competitive total also fell flat.Bangladesh had earlier won the toss and elected to bat, but the stand-in captain Naeem Islam’s decision backfired immediately, as Imrul Kayes, Anamul Haque and Marshall Ayub were all dismissed inside 40 minutes.However, Naeem and Shamsur Rahman revived the innings with a 85-run fourth-wicket stand, the pair striking seven fours and two sixes in total. Offspinner Arron Lilley put an end to the brief recovery by dismissing Shamsur for 51, on his way to figures of 3 for 24.Shamsur’s wicket triggered a collapse, as Bangladesh lost all the remaining six wickets for just 55 runs. Offspinner Steven Croft took three wickets, while medium-pacers Kyle Hogg and Oliver Newby picked up two each, as Bangladesh, struggling against spin, were bundled out for 171.Lancashire had little trouble in their pursuit of 172, with opener Stephen Moore anchoring the innings with a 63-ball 61 that included nine fours. Paul Horton remained unbeaten on 43 to take Lancashire home with 16.5 overs remaining.Bangladesh next take on Nottinghamshire on August 14 in their penultimate tour game in the lead-up to a three-match series against England Lions.
