in order to visit his counterpart in the Board of Control for Cricket in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 (BCCI) for holding talks on a possible bilateral series between the arch rivals in the coming year.
The Indian cricket board claimed that they have invited Ashraf to finalise some future programmes. They had also held talks earlier with the former PCB chief http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128, but the two countries have only played each other in International Cricket Council’s
(ICC’s) events since 2007.
Former England Twenty20 skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PD-Collingwood-c2173 has still not ruled out a comeback to international cricket,
as he aims to do well in the upcoming Big Bash League in Australia.
Collingwood, who guided http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 to a Twenty20 World Cup victory in 2010, will be representing Perth Scorchers in Aussie league.
According to the veteran cricketer, it will be an ideal opportunity for him to perform in front of the Australian crowd and prove his mettle to the English selectors.
India’s promising young batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737 has expressed his shock over team-mate Yuvraj Singh’s illness.
The latter was diagnosed of a lung tumour, but is expected to recover soon from it, as the doctors claim that nothing was serious.
However, Kohli was concerned about his team-mate and said he was dear to everyone in the Indian side. The youngster went onto say that he wishes quick recovery to the star all-rounder, who might take some time to get back in action.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 has shown confidence in his youngsters
ahead of the first Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in Brisbane, starting from Thursday, December 1, 2011.
There are four uncapped players in the 12-man squad for the first Test, but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 was confident that all of them will be able to perform well.
The newcomers announced in the squad are http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301.
West Indies’ all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 has claimed that his brother Darren will score a Test double hundred soon.
The latter had a terrific series against India in a recently concluded series, scoring two centuries.
However, his brother has stated that Darren is always hungry for scoring big centuries and will continue batting like this in the future.
