Faf du Plessis wants to center on-field affairs for South Africa as it prepares to take England backward.

Cricket South Africa CEO Thabang Moro was suspended on Friday as a “precautionary step” after allegations of misconduct.

Former captain Graeme Smith is scheduled to be appointed as South Africa’s new director of cricket next week and du Plessis believes the focus should turn to play XI.

“A lot has happened, but now it’s a new beginning,” the captain was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo.

“There is not a long time before the English series, so now it is about getting our attention back on the team, to make sure that the Test team gets all the things we need.”

The last two or three weeks have been a little difficult to stop, which is already too late, so we need to make sure in the next week that things start to get the most attention to the test team.

The last two weeks. It has not taken much notice that we will try and drive in the next week.

“Now it is about moving forward. I am a firm man of conviction that it is time that we watch as we move through all this nonsense that is happening behind the scenes. It is about making sure that the players are in cricket. Things are focused on. Now focus on what’s important, which is a Test series against England.”

“A lot of negative things have happened in the last four or five weeks, and our cricket is stable for a lot of issues all the time. We take pride in having a cricketer talk about this stuff all the time. It’s worth noting. The need is to be on cricket and to make sure that we build ourselves as a team and as an organization to be great again. “

The first Test between South Africa and England will start at Centurion from 26 December.

India’s skipper Virat Kohli on Friday beat his deputy Rohit Sharma’s record for most fifties in T20I as he helped India out of their highest T20I chase.

India scored 208 runs in one over to chase Kohli’s career-best 94 * runs. Kohli’s 50-ball innings took six fours and six sixes. He got a lot of support from opener KL Rahul, who scored 62 runs in 40 balls.

Sir Vivian Richards praised everyone for Indian captain Virat Kohli when he played a brilliant inning to give his team a 6-wicket win over WI.

Earning praise from someone like Viv Richards is not an easy task, but not for Indian captain Virat Kohli, who is in the second tier when he is out in the middle chasing a target under pressure.

Rahul would like to achieve a big milestone.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh succeeded in achieving this feat and thus it is the best score ever for India.

Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of the ongoing series against the Windies and so Rahul opened the innings with vice-captain Rohit Sharma, who was cheaply dismissed for eight.

Rahul was not in the best form in recent times, but he was able to regain his confidence in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

The right-handed batsman scored 313 runs in eight matches at an average of 52.16 and a strike rate of 155.72.

Hardik Pandya had suffered a back injury for which he had to undergo a surgery in England. Due to this, he will not be able to play until he has recovered completely.

Cricket, like any other sport, requires physical activities which at times lead to injuries that might take a few days to recover from or it can take a while.

In place of Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube will play for the Indian Cricket team. Shivam Dube is an all-rounder. People are saying that Shivam Dube is here to replace Hardik Pandya, but that is not the case as cleared by Shivam Dube.

The young all-rounder says that he is not replacing Hardik Pandya. He is just representing team India in his absence.

Shivam Dube has represented India before in three T20 Internationals with the best figures. He has played against West Indies in T20.

Shivam was asked in an interview if he was replacing Hardik Pandya in the team and he said no. He said that he does not see it as an opportunity to replace Pandya, but he looks at it as an opportunity to represent India internationally. He went on to further state that he is working very hard not to let down the team.

He said that being an all-rounder, he has to work hard. He has to be good at bowling as well as batting. He says that he can go for four overs at a time. He has got significant support from the team captain, team members, and team management.

Shivam aimed at for three T20 Internationals against West Indies. Team India proved itself. They won against West Indies. Hardik Pandya is currently under rehabilitation and for the time being, Shivam Dube will represent him on the field.

It remains that Shivam Dube will not be replacing Hardik Pandya but just representing him.

Ravichandran Ashwin is a successful off-spinner after Harbhajan Singh. Being a fantastic bowler, Ashwin is also a decent batsman.

He holds the fifth position in ICC’s Test All-Rounder’s list. Being known for his batting skills, everyone wondered how he came into being a bowler as well.

In an interview, Ashwin said that when he first started in cricket, he wanted to be a batsman. He loved batting, and he wanted to be one of the best ones.

But then one day, he saw team India losing, and he thought to himself that he could have saved the match if he was a bowler. Then he decided to brush up and polish his bowling skill.

Yes, bowling is less attractive, and not a preferred trade but that is what team India needed. His decision was respected and encouraged by many.

He began to experiment and made progress in his professional career. He said that his experience taught him to strike a perfect balance and then try out new things while keeping things simple.

The off-spinner has not played a single limited over for two years now, but he believes that he has grown so much as a cricketer. He says that he is more mature now. He tries to keep a clear head on the field while being as competitive as he can be.

Ashwin set his mind to be what he is today. He aims to improve himself in his profession further. The cricketers are always under pressure like any other sport, to represent their nation in healthy competition.

The team, captain, coach, and management have to go through so much hard work that is usually not out in the media.

These cricketers have to show themselves as an idol to encourage the youth to be the best version of themselves.

Irfan Pathan took to Twitter on a comment by Abdul Razzaq on Jaspreet Bumrah. He told the fans not to pay much attention to the comment and to laugh it off.

Abdul Razzaq said that in his days he would have taken on Jaspreet Bumrah. He said that he has played against great bowlers like Glenn McGrath and Wasim Akram, and Bumrah is like a bay bowler for him. He says that he could have easily dominated Bumrah in a match.

Irfan Pathan, in his tweet, brought back another comment made by former Pakistan skipper Javed Miandad in 2004.

Miandad said that bowlers like Irfan Pathan could found in any street of Pakistan. In his tweet, Pathan said that every time this street bowler played against them, they always lost. He asked the fans to ignore the comment and laugh it off.

Miandad made this statement when Pakistan was hosting India for a Test series. After 24 months, Irfan Pathan became the only bowler to take a hat-trick in first over of the match in Karachi Test.

Commentator and former cricketer, Aakash Chopra, also did not let Razzaq off the hook. He said that growing old is a compulsion but growing up is a choice.

Bumrah is currently the No. 1 ranking bowler in ODIs. Bumrah is currently recovering from an injury that has kept him out of the game for a while now. He is working on his strength and fitness under Rajnikanth Sivagnanam, Delhi Capital trainer.

Bumrah might have missed the series against South Africa and Bangladesh, but he will be back for the New Zealand tour.

The comment passing has always been a part of the cricket community, and India and Pakistan have been on top of it. It is sportsmanship to recognize and appreciate the strengths of the opponent instead of calling anyone a baby bowler or a street bowler.
