Michael Clarke picks IPL youngster for big role in India's Test vs England, snubs Karun Nair: ‘This kid is a superstar'
Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke feels that India should go with Sai Sudharsan at the number 3 position for the upcoming Test series against England. Virat Kohli's retirement has left India with a challenging void to fill at the No. 4 spot in the Test lineup, and newly appointed captain Shubman Gill has emerged as the frontrunner to take on that responsibility. With Gill expected to shift down to No. 4, India must now identify a reliable option to slot in at No. 3 — a position he had made his own over the past few years. Clarke advised India to use Sai Sudharsan at the crucial number 3 spot as he is confident that the left-handed batter will definitely get an opportunity on England tour. "To me, this kid is a superstar, Sai Sudharsan. I think he is a number three in Test cricket. I think he is probably going to open the batting in time in India's T20I and ODI team. He is in their Test squad. He gets his first opportunity in England. Sudharsan had a dream IPL season with bat, and as he won the Orange Cap for scoring 759 runs in 15 matches at an average of 54.21, with a strike rate of 156.17, a century and six fifties. The left-handed batter also walked away with the Emerging Player of the Year award, brushing off competition from Priyansh Arya, Noor Ahmad, and other youngsters. Clarke was thoroughly impressed with Sudharsan's IPL performances, highlighting his sound technique and ability to score heavily while taking minimal risks. "I think he can walk in straight to bat at number three. I think technically he's very good, he's got all the shots and mentally, he's ready. He really impressed me and he's a good looking player as well," Clarke said on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast. However, another Indian batter has made a solid case to bat at the number 3 position - Karun Nair, who scored a brilliant double century in the India A's first game on England tour while batting at the same position. The likes of Gill and Sai Sudharsan were expected to play the second four-day game but their IPL commitments did not allow them. The duo would only get the intra-squad game to acclimatise before the first Test in Leeds.

‘Our playing careers are over': Oman's 2024 T20 World Cup cricketers still not paid by cricket board, appeal to ICC
Oman cricketers have spoken out against their native cricket board a year on from their appearance at the T20 World Cup in North America and the Caribbean, citing the failure of the board to distribute the prize money achieved by the team in that tournament. As per players who spoke to ESPNcricinfo regarding the matter, the ICC paid the Oman Cricket Board USD 225,000 as the cash prize, but that amount was never transferred to the players. What is more, those who have attempted to try and rectify the situation have seen themselves frozen out of the team, locked out of the picture for the national team. Batter Kashyap Prajapati gave an account of what it has been like to be shunned by his own cricket board. 'Our lives have been upended over this issue; we've lost our spot in the team, our contracts have been torn up, and we have been forced to leave the country,' said the Indian-born Prajapati. 'It's just so confusing and we don't understand why the ICC isn't able to ensure we get paid the prize money we have earned, and why there isn't a safe space for us to raise concerns?' As per the ICC's rules of participation, all prize money earned by teams at events must be distributed to players who are part of the squad, within 21 days of the conclusion of the tournament. The T20 World Cup came to an end in late June 2024, and while the ICC confirmed the prize money has been shared with the board, it is reported no player has been paid. In fact, Oman's squad from the World Cup is almost entirely out of the picture, with a complete overhaul after complaints being raised by players involved at the World Cup. The impact of Oman's decisions cannot be downplayed, with player Fayyaz Butt saying that his journey in cricket might be 'over': 'It's been a massive loss for my career and professionally. I had to leave Oman. I'm not working at the moment, looking for opportunities but our playing careers are over.' The ICC's inability to ensure the safe transfer of funds to players has led to criticism from the World Cricketers' Association, a body for player welfare. 'In a sport that is trying to retain players in international cricket and ensure its future and relevance, it's disappointing to see more non-payment issues, including in pinnacle ICC events held almost a year ago,' said Tom Moffat, CEO of the WCA. 'We understand ICC management have continued to chase the boards on this, but the issue reflects poorly on the whole sport and adds to the widespread issues in domestic leagues.' 'It's also extremely concerning if some players are unable to raise their legitimate issues without fear of being punished for doing so,' added Moffat.
