Dominant India A eye whitewash against New Zealand A

September 11, 2013

India_AVisakhapatnam, Sep 11: After clinching the ODI series with an unassailable 2-0 lead, a dominant India A will now look to complete the whitewash when they lock horns against New Zealand A in the final one-dayer here Thursady. Led by Unmukt Chand, India A have produced a dominating show in the three-match unofficial ODI series so far as they thrashed the visitors by six wickets in the first two games. Their six-wicket victory yesterday sealed the series for India A and the hosts may look to test their bench strength, giving a chance to spinner Jalaj Saxena and batsman Sanju Samson. Chand has, so far, led his team by example as he scored 94 and 59 in the first two ODIs while his opening partner Robin Uthappa also scored a century in the lung-opener. ALSO SEE Menaria's five set up series win for India A The U-19 World Cup winning captain scripted a good comeback after his twin failures in the Test series to top the list of highest run-scorer in the limited-overs rubber so far and he would look for another good show from his bat to help his team inflict a whitewash on the tourists.

Uthappa, who is in ODI exile, would be hoping to produce another sparkling show after the opening ODI ton to catch the eyes of national selectors with limited overs series against West Indies and South Africa in sight. Though the Indian middle-order batsmen didn't have much to do in the first match, they came good in the second ODI with the likes of Mandeep Singh, Kedar Jadhav and Ashok Maneria rising to the occasion. While Mandeep scored a 59, adding 89 runs off 103 for the third wicket with skipper Chand, Maharashtra's Jadhav and Rajasthan left-hander Maneria, too delivered, making unbeaten 30 and 37 respectively. Maneria, in fact, turned out to be the most valuable player when he returned with a five-wicket haul to strangle the Kiwis. Others bowlers, led by pacer Dhawal Kulkarni, too stuck to a disciplined line and kept a check on the scoring rate of New Zealand batsmen. Kulkarni has scalped five wickets so far while spinner Rahul Sharma took three and they will be hoping to continue their good show for the team.

London, Apr 8: England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler has raised more than 65,000 pound (USD 80,000) to help fight the coronavirus by auctioning off his World Cup final shirt.

Buttler's shirt, which he wore when completing the last-ball run-out that saw England beat New Zealand at Lord's last year, was sold to raise money for specialist heart and lung centres provided by the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals in London.

Buttler, who earlier in the showpiece match had hit a fifty and batted in the Super Over, put his long-sleeve keeping jersey up for sale on eBay a week ago.

By the time the auction closed on Tuesday, the shirt had attracted 82 bids with the winner paying 65,100 pound.

Buttler, speaking on Monday, said: "It's a very special shirt but I think it takes on extra meaning with it being able to hopefully go to the emergency cause.

New Delhi, Mar 12: No foreign player will be available for this year's IPL till April 15 due to visa restrictions imposed by the government to contain the novel coronavirus threat, a top BCCI source told PTI on Thursday, casting fresh doubts on the fate of the event.

"The foreign players who play in the IPL come under the Business Visa category. As per the government's directive, they can't come till April 15," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

The government issued fresh advisory with a ban on all existing foreign visas, except a few categories like diplomatic and employment, till April 15 in the wake of new positive cases of novel coronavirus in the country.

India has reported 60 positive cases in the outbreak which has led to over 4,000 deaths globally.

The fate of the IPL itself will be decided on March 14 at the event's Governing Council meeting in Mumbai. "All decisions will be taken by the GC in Mumbai," the source said.

Having the IPL, starting March 29, played in empty stadiums is an option being explored.
