BCCI vice-president TC Mathew re-opens doors of Indian cricket team for S Sreesanth

Soon after the major Twitter bust-up with former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra, S Sreesanth has a good news coming his way, that too from a senior BCCI official.

The Indian cricket board's vice-president TCB Mathew has given Sreesanth hopes of making a comeback in Indian team.

"If Ashish Nehra can return to the national side at the age of 37, then Sreesanth too can make it. The 33-year-old Sreesanth is still a terrific bowler and he is undergoing rigorous training," Mathew was quoted saying by Manorama Online.

Mathew also revealed how the present India A and U-19 coach Rahul Dravid convinced him of Sreesanth's ability as a bowler.

"Sreesanth is still a great bowler. He is continuing training in a good manner. Many including former captain Rahul Dravid have told me that he is a good bowler. I have asked him to send a letter to Vinod Rai requesting to consider him ," Mathew added.

The three cricketers who faced life-ban after the IPL spot-fixing scandal were Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan.

The tainted-Indian pacer was then exonerated from the charges but the BCCI refused to alter its disciplinary decision of giving the Kerala speedster a life ban.

Later, the Kerala Cricket Association had made a plea to the BCCI to let Sreesanth be eligible for selection again after he was freed from the charges by court but the then BCCI chief Anurag Thakur had denied.

With the BCCI bosses now changed, it remains to be seen whether Sreesanth gets an opportunity to re-enter the world of Indian cricket.

Prithvi Shaw hammers ton as India U-19 thrash England U-19 by 230 runs

Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill slammed centuries as India U-19 crushed their counterparts from England by 230 runs in the fourth One-dayer to take a 3-1 lead in the five-match series, here today.

After posting a mammoth 382 for nine, following centuries by Gill and Shaw, pacers Kamlesh Nagarkoti (4-31), Vivekanand Tiwari (3-20) and Shivam Mavi (2-18) shared nine wickets between them to outplay England U-19 in all departments.

Mavi had Harry Brook (0) trapped in front of the wicket in the second over and Nagarkoti removed George Bartlett, also for nought, to leave the visitors struggling at eight for two. Mavi stuck again as he cleaned up Tom Banton (6) with England teetering at 16 for three.

Delray Rawlins (9) stuck two consecutive boundaries in the beginning, but was caught at mid-off by Mayank Rawat off Nagarkoti.

Leggie Rahul Chahar struck in his first over as he cleaned up Max Holden (17). In his second spell, Nagarkoti removed Ollie Pope (59), the top scorer for England colts, who edged to keeper Desai, while Will Jacks (44) was the eighth batsman to be dismissed.

Put into bat, India U-19 posted their second highest total- the best being 425 for three against Scotland U-19 in Dhaka in 2004.

Delhi batsman Mohit Ahlawat scores 300 in a T20 match

21-year-old Mohit Ahlawat became the first batsman in the world to score a 300 in a T20 match on Tuesday. While the match had no official status and was only a local match played in Delhi, Ahlawat’s knock was one was filled with superlatives and his triple century came in 72 balls.

The Delhi wicketkeeper-batsman smashed a whopping 39 sixes and 14 boundaries on his way to the total. No player has ever crossed the 200-run-mark in international or domestic T20 matches. In professional cricket, the highest individual score in T20 cricket belongs to Chris Gayle , who made 175 runs in just 66 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore. The highest individual in international cricket is 156 that Aaron Finch smashed in 63 balls for Australia against England.

‘Carnage’ was the oft used word to describe the two innings were described as and so, one can only imagine what Ahlawat’s innings would have looked like. It is also interesting to note that no team has scored more than 300 runs in T20 cricket.

The highest score by a team in 20-over cricket is a record shared by IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore and Australia. The two teams had managed 263.
