"Want Him To Bowl...": Ex-India Star On Bhuvneshwar's Role In T20 WC

By

India announced the much-awaited squad, that will be flying to Australia for the upcoming T20 World Cup and it included the likes of pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, who missed out on the Asia Cup due to injuries. Apart from them, Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have also been included in the squad with Mohammed Shami, Deepak Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi, and Shreyas Iyer as standbys. In the recently concluded Asia Cup, Bhuvneshwar received a lot of criticism for leaking runs during the death overs. After the announcement of T20 World Cup squad, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan stated that he would like to see Bhuvneshwar bowling his overs with the new ball.

"Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel, these three will solve your problem of bowling 5 overs at the death. It is quite understandable that once you return from an injury, you take some time but you will get the game time as you are playing against Australia and South Africa before the World Cup," Irfan said in a video posted on Star Sports Twitter.

"You will get that quality time, India's problem of bowling at the death has been relatively solved with the addition of these three. You can bowl Chahal for one over at the death, you can use Bhuvneshwar Kumar as well but I would want him to bowl more with the new ball," he added.

In the Asia Cup Super 4 match against Pakistan, Bhuvneshwar conceded 40 runs in his four-over spell, out of which 19 were leaked in the 19th over. It was followed by 30 runs against Sri Lanka, in which 14 runs were conceded in the 19th over.

In the Asia Cup, Bhuvneshwar returned with 11 wickets, including a five-wicket haul against Afghanistan. However, his performance against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage left a lot to be desired after he leaked runs in the 19th over of both these games.

Barcelona Coach Xavi Banned For Two Games For Red Card In Season Opener

By
File image of Xavi Hernandez © AFP Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will serve a two-match suspension after being sent off in his team's La Liga season opener against Getafe, it was announced Wednesday. Xavi was punished for his touchline behaviour during Sunday's 0-0 draw at Getafe, in which Barcelona winger Raphinha also received a red card in the first half for elbowing an opponent. Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi was dismissed with 20 minutes to play after leaving his technical area to remonstrate with the fourth official over a refereeing decision. Referee Cesar Soto Grado said in his report that he had already warned Xavi, who was critical of the officiating in his post-match press conference. Xavi and Raphinha will both miss Sunday's game against Cadiz and the trip to Villarreal on August 27.
