<p>Two Indian veterans, Virender Sehwag and Diana Edulji, alongside Sri Lankan batting great Aravinda de Silva, are the latest inductees into ICC’s Hall of Fame. The cricket’s governing body announced their inclusion on Monday, with all three acknowledging the utmost honour for the service they provided on the field.</p>

<p>One of India’s greatest openers across formats, Sehwag deserves&nbsp;to be in ICC’s Hall of Fame for the impact he had on the game and&nbsp;Indian Cricket.</p>

<p>Regarded by countless as perhaps the most destructive batter since the great Viv Richards, Sehwag was the first Indian to complete a triple hundred in Tests – scoring 309 against Pakistan in Multan, 2004. A few years later, he scored his second triple-century against South Africa in Chennai in 2008.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even during the 2011 World Cup, Sehwag was among the top run-getters and helped India clinch the coveted trophy for the first time in 28 years.</p>

<p>Sri Lanka will appeal against its suspension from the International Cricket Council (ICC), sports minister Roshan Ranasinghe said on Saturday (Nov 11) over the sacking of the board&nbsp;following the national team's dismal World Cup performance.</p>

<p>The ICC, the sport's governing body, suspended Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) membership with immediate effect on Friday, citing government interference in cricket in the country.</p>

<p>Sri Lanka's ministry of sport dismissed the SLC board and replaced it with an interim committee in the wake of the country's poor World Cup performance, but the country's Court of Appeal has put that move on hold.</p>

<p>In addition, the parliament in Colombo last Thursday unanimously adopted a proposal to remove the SLC leadership.</p>

<p>Speaking on Saturday, Ranasinghe denied that there was political interference in the running of Sri Lankan cricket, however, and said the ICC move had been made without any consultation.</p>

<p>"This is not the way. When ICC or any other body apply a ban they have a long procedure...but this was a surprise, and it is not ethical," Ranasinghe told reporters.</p>

<p>Current ODI World Cup champions England might be on the brink of not qualifying for the Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in 2025 in Pakistan. The top seven sides at the end of the league stage at the ongoing World Cup in India will qualify for the eight-nation tournament, according to an <em>ESPNcricinfo&nbsp;</em>report.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An ICC spokesperson confirmed to the publication that the qualification for the Champions Trophy rests on the World Cup group standings and that it was approved by the ICC Board in 2021. After it was stated that the 2017 edition was the last iteration of the Champions Trophy, ICC in 2021 brought the global tournament back, to be held in the 2024-31 cycle.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Cricket boards surprised</strong></h2>

<p>The development, however, has come as a surprise to several cricket boards. Teams who are currently in India as well as those who did not qualify for the World Cup were unaware that ICC had set group stage standings as the basis for qualification.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The qualification method means that the likes of West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Scotland and other nations will not have an opportunity to even stake a claim for a spot in the tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, for the 2013 and 2017 editions of the Champions Trophy, the top eight teams in the ODI rankings at a cut-off date qualified for the event.</p>

<p>Fans expressed confusion regarding the qualification process after Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan during a post-match conference highlighted the importance of finishing in top-eight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I mean, not the semi-final hope. It is not a semi-final possibility.&nbsp;At least, do a little better. Suppose, you have to be in the [top] ranking 8 if you want to play in the Champions Trophy. So, there are still three matches left considering that in mind," said Shakib.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from the World Test Championship, the Champions Trophy is the other global tournament that England is yet to emerge victorious in.

England to miss out on Champions Trophy spot? ICC's qualification process leaves defending champions in mud

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been India's leading run-scorers so far at the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup. Skipper Sharma has adopted an aggressive approach and got India to a flyer in all of their matches, barring the opener against Australia.

<p>England white-ball coach Matthew Mott conceded that the title defence for the defending ODI World Cup champions is over after an eight-wicket drubbing by Sri Lanka on October 26 in Bengaluru. This was England's fourth loss in five games, having already lost to New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the loss, England's hopes of making it to the top four took a serious hit and their coach Mott agreed that they were in a 'bit of trouble.'</p>

<p>"Mathematically, we'd have to have a lot of things go our way," Mott told Sky Sports after the game.

But realistically, we're in bit of trouble, for sure."</p>

<p>England's campaign never really took off as they lost the tournament opener against New Zealand and couldn't really figure out what went wrong from there.</p>

<p>"I don't know," Mott said. "I just had a quick chat with Jos then. It's really hard to explain. I think we had a good series leading in against New Zealand. We came over here full of confidence with I think world-class players who have won a lot of World Cups and for whatever reason, we seem to have a few players out of form at the wrong time, and it's hurt us dearly," said Mott on the issue.</p>

England white-ball coach Matthew Mott conceded that the title defence for the defending ODI World Cup champions is over after an eight-wicket drubbing by Sri Lanka on October 26 in Bengaluru.

England white-ball coach Matthew Mott conceded that the title defence for the defending ODI World Cup champions is over after an eight-wicket drubbing by Sri Lanka on October 26 in Bengaluru. This was England's fourth loss in five games, having already lost to New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa. After the loss, England's hopes of making it to the top four took a serious hit and their coach Mott agreed that they were in a 'bit of trouble.' "Mathematically, we'd have to have a lot of things go our way," Mott told Sky Sports after the game. "As I said leading up today, we could control it from there, but it certainly hasn't done our net run-rate any help at all and, depending on others… we'll keep fronting, we'll keep treating each game in isolation and try and salvage some really good stuff out the back end of this.

ODI World Cup 2023: England coach Matthew Mott hopes to 'salvage something' as 2019 winners stare at exit

<p>India coach Rahul Dravid has expressed disagreement over the International Cricket Council (ICC) dishing out 'average' pitch rating to Ahmedabad and Chennai pitches. Notably, these are the only two pitches where India bundled out rivals Pakistan and Australia for less than 200. India won those two games and the&nbsp;other two as well, comfortably.</p>

<p>"If you want to only see 350-run matches and rate only those pitches as good, then I disagree with that," Dravid said before India's match against the Kiwis in Dharamsala. "You have to see different skills on display as well. If you wanted to only see fours and sixes being hit, then we have T20 for that. Why do we need anything else?</p>

<p>Dravid also said that rating pitches average when it spins a bit leaves bowlers no where to go.</p>

<p>"There are skills on display on 350 wickets also. That's fine on that particular day. But in the first few games when it spins a little bit or something happens that brings the bowlers into the game, and you start rating pitches as average, where does it leave the bowlers? Why are they coming then? Play two T20 matches then."</p>

<p>"We need to have a better way of deciding what is good or average."</p>

<p>The former India skipper also said that he wants to see some variety and good contest between bat and ball throughout the tournament.</p>

<p>"I just want to see some variety," Dravid said. "There will be some good wickets and games that are high-scoring. And there will be other games where the ball turns, and others where it seams a little bit. You've got a long tournament, and you're playing in India in different parts of the country. There will be different wickets and different challenges. Teams that are able to cope with all those challenges are the ones that will end up being successful."</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: India coach Rahul Dravid disagrees with ICC rating Ahmedabad and Chennai pitches average

<p>The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodged a complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over alleged "inappropriate crowd behaviour" during the Men in Green's clash versus India in the 2023 ODI World Cup. The match was held on Oct 14 (Saturday) in the west Indian city of Ahmedabad, where Rohit Sharma-led India thrashed Babar Azam's Pakistan by seven wickets. After PCB's complaint, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan recalled a shocking story of being hit by a nail in India-Pakistan clash during his playing days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking on Star Sports, amid the ongoing India-Bangladesh tie in Pune on Thursday (Oct 19), Irfan recalled the shocking story which took place during his active days when India toured Pakistan (during 2004 and 2006).&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'The match was halted for 10 minutes, but we did not pay any heed to it'</strong></h2>

<p>"We were playing a game in Peshawar, when a fan threw a nail at me, which struck me under my eye. I could have gotten seriously injured. The match was halted for 10 minutes, but we did not pay any heed to it as we were playing good cricket,” Pathan said on commentary.</p>

<p>After this, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra took to his official account on X, formerly Twitter, to react to Irfan's revelations. He wrote, "Didn’t know that fans in Peshawar threw a nail at Irfan, which hit him under the eye. Remember the game getting stopped for a bit bcoz of fan trouble but it’s only today I got to know the exact reason. Well done."</p>

<p>To this, Irfan was quick to respond and replied saying, "I Would have taken to my grave brother cos I think fans are the utmost important to this game and things do happen. But the narrative is set differently now days with some ppl trying to spread unnecessary negativity for their own benefit. So i spoke. Love you brother."</p>

<p>Irfan shared the incident following PCB's formal complaint, raising issue on the treatment given to Pakistani cricketers during the India clash. "The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lodged another formal protest with the ICC over delays in visas for Pakistani journalists and the absence of a visa policy for Pakistan fans for the ongoing World Cup 2023. The PCB has also filed a complaint regarding inappropriate conduct targeted at the Pakistan squad during the India vs Pakistan match held on 14 October 2023," PCB posted on X.</p>

<p>At present, Pakistan occupy the fourth spot in the points table with two wins and a heavy defeat versus India. The hosts, with three back-to-back wins, are at the second spot with unbeaten New Zealand on top.</p>

SHOCKING! As PCB complains about Indian crowd in CWC '23, Irfan Pathan recalls how Pak fan threw nail at him

<p>Netherlands pacer Logan van Beek was the star of the night for his team as the Dutch defended a modest 245 to upset red-hot South Africa in the ODI World Cup 2023 match on October 17 in Dharamsala. The bowler took three wickets in total, including the much-needed wicket of David Miller who was the last hope for the Proteas after losing five wickets for 89.</p>

<p>Batting on 43 with the target still 100 runs away, Miller got a ripper of a ball from van Beek off which the batter swung a bit too early and wildly, resulting in his stumps being rattled. Have a look at the video here:</p>

Netherlands pacer Logan van Beek was the star of the night for his team as the Dutch defended a modest 245 to upset red-hot South Africa in the ODI World Cup 2023 match on October 17 in Dharamsala. The bowler took three wickets in total, including the much-needed wicket of David Miller who was the last hope for the Proteas after losing five wickets for 89. Batting on 43 with the target still 100 runs away, Miller got a ripper of a ball from van Beek off which the batter swung a bit too early and wildly, resulting in his stumps being rattled.
