New beginnings

The ICC Cricket World Cup is finally over. India and Pakistan have  started looking at their forthcoming series with fresh energy. Time has come to move on for future course of action.

Pakistan will play in Australia 3-Test matches series, while India will play five T20 matches in India, against Australia. India has announced a new team for the T20 series.

Young and talented Indian players have been included in the side, like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar and more.

I hope the new crop of Indian players might be able to perform at the international level as expected and would cement their position.

Pakistan too have changed their captains for Test and T20. I am sure Test captain Shan Masood and T20 captain Shaheen Shah Afridi would start a fresh innings under their leadership. Let’s hope for the best. I am sure new minds will bring freshness.
