<p>India are set to&nbsp;host South Africa and&nbsp;Australia for three T20Is each before heading to the forthcoming T20 World Cup, to be held in Australia from October-November. BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly&nbsp;confirmed the development&nbsp;after the board's Apex Council on Thursday (July 21).</p>

<p>Virat Kohli-led India had a disastrous campaign in last year's T20 World Cup, held in the UAE. Hence, the board is keen to leave no stone unturned this time around to ensure Men in Blue's success in the upcoming showpiece event Down Under. Hence, two more home series have been confirmed now in the shortest format in the run-up to the marquee tournament.</p>

<p>"We will host SA and Australia for three T20Is each before going for the T20 World Cup. South Africa will come to India after concluding their ongoing England tour (in September). All those venues which didn’t get to stage a game against SA- Ranchi, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Indore, Mohali- will host T20Is against SA and Australia,” Ganguly told the media.</p>

<p>Virat Kohli's forms struggles remains the talk of the cricketing fraternity. While Kohli's century-drought continues since late 2019, he even failed to score a fifty across formats in the England tour. Thus, the BCCI selection committee have given Kohli some time off during India's white-ball tour of West Indies, which gets underway on July 22.</p>

<p>Even though Kohli will be out of action and is expected to return to the 22-yard cricket strip during the 2022 Asia Cup, in late August, former cricketers and experts continue to shed light on the former Indian skipper's poor run of form. Dilip Vengsarkar, India's former captain and chief selector, opened up in this regard and cited Sachin Tendulkar's example while mentioning how Kohli can tackle playing the balls outside off-stump line.</p>

<p>"If you take the example of Sachin Tendulkar in 2004, he was getting out in the same way in Australia. So, he cut off that scoring area completely and scored 241 in the last Test match of that series without playing the cover drive. Similarly, Virat also has the ability to do the same. He needs to work hard in that area and play effectively," Vengsarkar told&nbsp;<em>Khaleej Times</em>.</p>

<p>Kohli has been getting out in a similar fashion match after match -- playing deliveries on the fourth or fifth-stump line. Hence, Vengsarkar feels the superstar cricketer should take a leaf from SRT's memorable unbeaten 241-run knock versus Australia in the fourth and final Test, at SCG, Sydney, in the 2003/04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Back then, a struggling Tendulkar hadn't attempted playing a single delivery outside the off-stump line before settling in as he went onto play a majestic knock.</p>

<p>Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by four wickets in their challenging 342-run chase in the first Test at Galle International Stadium, Galle on Wednesday (July 22). The Babar Azam-led side had conceded a slender four-run lead to the Dimuth Karunaratne-led Islanders and had a stiff task to chase 342, however, they rode on vital knocks from Babar, Md Rizwan and opener Abdullah Shafique's 160 not out to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.</p>

<p>After Pakistan's historic win, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja has fired shots at some other teams by saying that he doesn't ever interfere in team selections even though it is his right. While he didn't mention any other team, sides such as South Africa, India, etc. are nowadays playing with different captains. India have had as many as six captains in 2022 with Shikhar Dhawan to join the list on Friday (July 22), in the ODI series opener versus hosts West Indies. On the other hand, SA are touring England with Keshav Maharaj leading in ODIs, David Miller in T20Is and Dean Elgar to captain the Test side.</p>

<p>Speaking to Dawn, Ramiz said, "There are people who try to run cricket like football. Many nations are doing it. They will realise what they've done when they complete the calendar. They will realise that if your captain isn't strong, your team can't progress. I haven't interfered in the team selections, even though I can do it. It is my right."</p>

<p>Germany overpowered Austria in a 2-0 win to reach the semi-finals of women`s euro 2022 at the Brentford stadium. Germany registered a win over Austria with a fairly dominant performance, allowing the opposition team a little possession. It was still a good matchup between both teams as Austria made some opportunities for themselves, but failed to capitalize with three shots on the post. The Germans hit the post two times in the match. However, missing chances didn`t really hurt them as they were able to take advantage of two defensive errors from Austria and scored on both occasions.</p>

<p>The first goal came from Lina Magull who struck the ball in her team`s favour in the 25th minute to give Germany the lead in the match. The high press tactics of Germany worked as it caused panic and mix-ups in the Austrian back line. The Austria team had already hit the post once before the opening goal and they did it again in the second half as Sarah Puntigam hit the bar from a corner. Germany were going for a second goal as well as one goal lead didn`t seem very comfortable to sit on.</p>

<p>Buhl had the chance from a long-range effort but it went off the bar.

A victory over Austria with the score of 2-0 also meant that Germany would continue their streak of no goals conceded in the tournament yet.</p>

<p>India and West Indies will square off in the three-match ODI series on Friday evening (July 22). In Rohit Sharma's absence, Shikhar Dhawan will take charge of the new-look side, which comprises several young faces such as Deepak Hooda, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, etc.</p>

<p>Team India arrived in Trinidad, from Manchester, amid heavy rainfall which forced them to shift their net session indoors. While there are chances of rain making its presence left in the series opener, the match is still expected to take place although we might lose some overs. For Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies, they will test themselves against a young and promising Indian line-up in their own conditions. Men in Blue, on the other hand, will be eager to carry on with their winning momentum from the England tour.</p>

For Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies, they will test themselves against a young and promising Indian line-up in their own conditions.

<p>India and West Indies will kick off their white-ball series on Friday (July 22) in Port of Spain, Trinidad. In regular captain Rohit Sharma's absence, Shikhar Dhawan will take charge of the new-look side which comprises several young faces such as&nbsp;Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Avesh Khan,&nbsp;Shubman Gill, and Arshdeep Singh among others.</p>

<p>Not only Rohit, even the likes of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested for the tour (although Pant will join for the T20Is). Talking about KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja (who has been named as Dhawan's deputy for the ODIs), the former has tested Covid positive whereas the all-rounder is suffering from a knee injury and is, most likely, to sit out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India reached Trinidad from Manchester, after the completion of their successful tour of England, amid heavy rain in the Caribbean island. Hence, the Rahul Dravid-Dhawan-led team management had to shift their training session indoors. Thus, rain can be a factor for the three-match ODI series opener on Friday evening.</p>

<p>Wimbledon 2022 champion Novak Djokovic has been dealt with a huge blow. The Serbian's Covid-19 vaccination is not a hidden fact anymore and his reluctance to take the jab is set to rule him out of the US Open 2022 edition, i.e. the last Grand Slam of the calendar year.</p>

<p>With the tournament organisers set to abide by the US government's guidelines on Covid vaccination, Djokovic's refusal to get vaccinated will eventually prevent him from entering the country for the forthcoming showpiece event. Despite this, he has been named on the entry list. If he doesn't participate in the tournament, the 35-year-old will also miss a golden opportunity to level with Rafael Nadal in terms of most Grand Slam titles in men's singles (22). After the Wimbledon win, over Nick Kyrgios, Djokovic has 21 major titles.</p>

<p>Just after winning Wimbledon 2022 on July 10, the Serbian superstar had pointed out, "I'm not vaccinated and I'm not planning to get vaccinated so the only good news I can have is them removing the mandated green vaccine card or whatever you call it to enter United States or exemption." He added, "I don't know. I don't think exemption is realistically possible. If that is possibility, I don't know what exemption would be about. I don't know. I don't have much answers there."</p>

"The US Open does not have a vaccination mandate in place for players, but it will respect the U.S. government's position regarding travel into the country for unvaccinated non-U.S. citizens," it further asserted.</p>

<p>Parupalli Kashyap cruised past Chinese Taipei`s Chia Hao Lee in the second round of the ongoing Taipei Open in the men`s singles category on Thursday, reaching the quarterfinals. The Indian shuttler grabbed a comfortable win against his Chinese Taipei counterpart with the score of 21-10, 21-19 in Court 4. Kashyap won both the games to seal his spot in the quarter-finals. Kashyap started the game well and was always in a good lead. The first game was very one-sided for the Indian as he went on to win it with a score of 21-10 giving no chance at all to the Chinese Taipei shuttler to even fight back.</p>

<p>The second game however was a bit close with Lee coming back to his senses and fighting back. However, his efforts were not enough to take down the Indian shuttler. Earlier in the day, Samiya Irad Farooqui played against Chinese Taipei`s Wen Chi Hsu in women`s singles category. Samiya faced a disappointing result as she lost the match 18-21, 13-21 against the Chinese Taipei counterpart. The first game was well fought by Samiya but she could not close the game and lost it 18-21. Losing her rhythm at the end of the first game resulted in a disheartening outcome of the second game as well.</p>

<p>The Chinese Taipei shuttler won the second game comfortably with a score of 21-13.

She had progressed to the second round by defeating Malaysia`s Kisona Selvaduray by 21-15, 21-11. Previously, Kashyap made a winning start to his campaign at Taipei Open 2022, defeating Chi Yu Jen of Chinese Taipei in the first round of the men`s singles category on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Kashyap defeated his opposition 24-22, 21-10. The first game was a closely contested one but the second one was extremely one-sided. Kashyap won them both to win the match. Also, India`s fifth-seeded mixed doubles pair Ishaan Bhatnagar and Tanisha Crasto advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Cheng Kai Wen and Wang Yu Qiao in the ongoing Taipei Open 2022 on Thursday.

<p>Cheteshwar Pujara continues his dream run for Sussex in County Championship. In the County C'ship Division Two game between Sussex and Middlesex, being held at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground, London, Pujara was at his punishing best as the right-hander slammed his third double ton for his side after the opposition opted to bowl first.</p>

<p>A day after Pujara completed his fifth century of the season, the Test specialist for India converted his hundred into a double century before being the last man to fall for a highly-impressive 403-ball 231, studded with 21 fours and 3 sixes. Riding on Pujara's 231 and&nbsp;Tom Alsop's 135, Sussex compiled a mammoth 523 all-out. After his dismissal, the Indian batter received a thunderous applause by his teammates and spectators at the Lord's balcony and the famous corridor of the iconic stadium. <strong>Here's the video:</strong></p>

Cheteshwar Pujara continues his dream run for Sussex in County Championship.

Cheteshwar Pujara continues his dream run for Sussex in County Championship. In the County C'ship Division Two game between Sussex and Middlesex, being held at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground, London, Pujara was at his punishing best as the right-hander slammed his third double ton for his side after the opposition opted to bowl first. A day after Pujara completed his fifth century of the season, the Test specialist for India converted his hundred into a double century before being the last man to fall for a highly-impressive 403-ball 231, studded with 21 fours and 3 sixes. Riding on Pujara's 231 and Tom Alsop's 135, Sussex compiled a mammoth 523 all-out. After his dismissal, the Indian batter received a thunderous applause by his teammates and spectators at the Lord's balcony and the famous corridor of the iconic stadium. Here's the video: Out onto the balcony to stand and applaud a fantastic innings. 👏@cheteshwar1 💯💯 pic.twitter.com/2hmvm9wMz4 — Sussex Cricket (@SussexCCC) July 20, 2022 × ALSO READ | BCCI churns out a whopping sum for Shikhar Dhawan-led India's flight to West Indies: Report Pujara's walk back to the dressing room was also a memorable one for the veteran Test batter: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lord's Cricket Ground (@homeofcricket) × ALSO READ | Not Pandya, Pant or Rahul!
