Star Indian pacer to be ruled out of an important series due to..., his name is... New Delhi: India's star fast bowler Akash Deep will not participate in this year's Duleep Trophy 2025. The tournament will be played in Bengaluru from 28 August to 11 September. According to a Times of India report, 28-year-old Akash Deep, who hails from Bihar and represents Bengal in domestic cricket, felt uncomfortable during the recently concluded five-match Test series between India and England. Due to this, he withdrew from the tournament. Akash Deep played three Tests in England, took a total of 13 wickets, and performed brilliantly. Who will play in his place? Akash Deep was included in the East Zone squad last week, but now Assam fast bowler Mukhtar Hussain has been included in the team in his place. Mukhtar has so far taken 132 wickets in 40 first-class matches and scored 580 runs with the bat. In the absence of Akash Deep, Mohammed Shami will lead the bowling of East Zone, while Bengal's Mukesh Kumar will support him. Who else is in the team? East Zone will be captained by Ishan Kishan, while Abhimanyu Easwaran will be the vice-captain. The team includes Sandeep Patnaik, Virat Singh, Danish Das, Sirdam Paul, Sharandeep Singh, Kumar Kushagra, Riyan Parag, Utkarsh Singh, Manishi, Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar, Mukhtar Hussain, and Mohammed Shami. The standby players are Ashirwad Swain, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Swastik Samal, Sudip Kumar Gharami, and Rahul Singh. Akash Deep's Test record Akash Deep made his Test debut against England in Ranchi on 23 February 2024, taking three wickets in the first innings. He has taken 28 wickets in the 10 Test matches played so far. Out of these, 10 wickets came in the second Test played in Birmingham alone, where he took a brilliant 4/88 in the first innings and 6/99 in the second innings. His figures of 10/187 are the best by any Indian bowler in England.

Sachin Tendulkar intervened when MS Dhoni's act almost pushed Virender Sehwag to retire: 'Don't make emotional decision'
Virender Sehwag is widely regarded as one of cricket's most destructive openers. He is famed for revolutionising the role with fearless aggression, with his arrival marking a shift from a traditionally defensive approach to the art of opening in limited-overs cricket. Sehwag enjoyed a fruitful international career that saw him break multiple run-scoring records and also played key roles in India's multiple ICC triumphs. Sachin Tendulkar advised Virender Sehwag against early retirement(AFP/Files) However, the former opener has now revealed that there came a turbulent phase in his career when he came dangerously close to retiring from ODI cricket in 2007/08, only to be persuaded otherwise by batting legend Sachin Tendulkar. The revelations came during Sehwag's appearance on Padamjeet Sehrawat's podcast, where he recounted the emotional rollercoaster he endured during India's tri-nation series in Australia and Sri Lanka. Sehwag recalled the frustration that set in after being dropped from the side by then-captain MS Dhoni following the first three matches of the series. 'In the 2007-08 series against Australia, I played the first three matches and then MS Dhoni dropped me from the side. I wasn't picked for a while after that. Then I felt that if I can't be a part of the playing XI, then there is no point in playing ODI cricket,' Sehwag admitted. Frustrated and ready to walk away, Sehwag approached Tendulkar to share his decision, seeking guidance from someone he deeply respected. 'I went to Tendulkar and said, 'I am thinking of retiring from ODIs'. He said, 'No. I went through a similar phase in 1999-2000, where I felt I should leave cricket. But that phase came and went. You are going through a trough, but it will pass. Don't make any decision when you are emotional. Give yourself some time and 1-2 series, and then take a call,'' Sehwag recalled. Taking Tendulkar's advice to heart proved the turning point. Sehwag returned to the Indian side, delivering match-winning performances in the subsequent series and eventually playing a crucial role in India's 2011 World Cup triumph. Over his illustrious ODI career, Sehwag went on to play 251 matches, amassing 8,273 runs at an average of 35.05, with a strike rate of 104.33, including 15 centuries and 38 fifties. Sehwag on his son's budding career Sehwag also spoke about his son Aryaveer, who has shown promise in cricket and was selected for Delhi's U-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy squad in December 2023. Acknowledging the inevitable comparisons that come with being a famous parent, Sehwag advised his son not to succumb to pressure. 'That pressure will always be on you, but you should not take that pressure. Pressure is something that you give, not take… Hope he goes on to play either for India or the Ranji Trophy,' Sehwag said.
