After that, they’ll have a series of 3 ODIs and 2 Test matches. South Africa has revealed its squad, and India’s squad is already known. Meanwhile, the Pakistan cricket team is currently touring Australia, playing a three-test series. The IPL 2024 auction is scheduled for December 19. Also, the second and final match of the Test series between New Zealand and Bangladesh is taking place at Shere Bangla National Stadium.
Ravi Bishnoi Shines in T20 Rankings
India’s young spin bowler, Ravi Bishnoi, is now the best in T20 cricket, leaving behind Afghanistan’s star, Rashid Khan. Bishnoi, who started playing for the national team last year, climbed four spots after performing well in the India-Australia series. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Axar Patel also moved up 16 places each in the rankings. Bishnoi’s consistent good play helped him become the top T20 bowler at just 23 years old.
