Test coach Gillespie cautions ex-players against harsh Pakistan criticism

Pakistan's red-ball format head coach, Jason Gillespie has urged former cricketers to avoid unwarranted criticism of the national team as he believes it can deeply affect the players. Gillespie admitted that the comments former players made in TV shows and Youtube channels indeed bruised the cricketers. I'm very protective of players and very protective of staff I work with and just want to make sure that the environment that we're trying to create is a safe space for everyone and if that gets eroded then that can lead to a bit of frustration, Gillespie told Sky Sports. The former Australian quick asked the players of yesteryears to be more judicious while airing their opinion, especially in social media. A lot of former players have their own space on social media YouTube, whatever, and they're paid to have an opinion. One thing that I have noticed here is that the players notice everything and if they get some positive feedback from former players they idolised as kids, that goe

Pakistan, England to bank on spin during the third Test at Rawelpindi

Have England pulled an ace by playing mind games with Pakistan and pushing them into fielding three spinners on a pitch which could end up not being a slow bowlers paradise at the Rawalpindi cricket stadium? With the three-match Test series poised at 1-1 and the decisive third match, beginning here from Thursday, both the teams seemed to be unclear about the pitch's nature. It is definitely not going to spin from day one like we say when they used the same first Test pitch for the second Test in Multan, a senior ground staff at the Pindi stadium said on condition of anonymity. Pakistan would have been better off playing with two proper pace bowlers. England have the advantage of having two proper pacers (Ben Stokes, Gus Atkinson) but Pakistan will have to rely on just Aamer Jamal, he offered. The staff said the pitch could assist the spinners, but during the last two days. Before that it will be good for batting and pacers will get some help and reverse swing, he said. He also ..

PAK vs ENG: Selectors camping in Rawalpindi to oversee pitch preparation

Pakistan's cricket selectors, Aaqib Javed, Aleem Dar, Asad Shafiq and Azhar Ali, are camping here to oversee the preparation of a pitch that offers ample turn in the decisive third and final Test against England starting on Thursday. "The ground staff has been instructed to prepare a pitch that offers plenty of assistance to the spinners as Pakistan wants to attack England again with slow bowlers," a source close to the selectors said. The series is keenly poised with Ben Stokes' England winning the opening Test by an innings and 47 runs, while the hosts, riding on the success of their spinners, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, won the second game by 152 runs. The two Pakistan slow bowlers took all 20 England wickets in the match. The source said that on the instructions of the selectors, the ground staff was using several methods to prepare a dry, spinning track. "They (ground staff) are using large fans, heaters and black cloth to soak the moisture in the surface and keep it as dry as

ENG vs WI: Jos Buttler ruled out of West Indies ODIs with injury 'setback'

England white-ball cricket captain Jos Buttler has been ruled out of the upcoming one-day international series against the West Indies after suffering an injury setback, with Liam Livingstone set to lead the team in his absence. Buttler will miss the three-game ODI series starting next week following what England said Monday was "a slight setback in his rehabilitation" from the calf injury which ruled him out of Australia's white-ball tour of England last month. England says Buttler is still expected to return for a five-game T20 series against the West Indies starting Nov. 9. Livingstone has been named captain for the first time for the ODI series. Against Australia last month, Harry Brook was captain for the ODIs and Phil Salt took charge for the T20s.

PAK vs ENG: England complete record-filled 1st Test match with innings win

England notched one of its most memorable test wins as it beat Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs on the fifth and final day of the first cricket test on Friday. Pakistan was bowled out for 220 inside the first session as Salman Ali Agha (63) and Aamer Jamal (55 not out) delayed the inevitable with their fighting half centuries. Ill No. 11 Abrar Ahmed couldn't bat due to a fever as Pakistan suffered the embarrassment of becoming the first test-playing country to lose a match by an innings after scoring over 500 runs in the first innings. Left-arm spinner Jack Leach picked up all the three wickets on the final morning to finish with 4-30 after fast bowlers Gus Atkinson and debutant Brydon Carse had mopped the Pakistan top-order on the fourth evening. Resuming on 152-6, Agha and Jamal resisted for an hour and stretched their partnership to 109 before Leach struck in his first over when he had Agha trapped leg before wicket off a straight delivery.
