The former captain is also confident for this year’s IPL in September and October which might be in any foreign nation. UAE and Sri Lanka are the top contenders to host the tournament. Coronavirus cases in India are increasing with a variable pace with no clue of its end. So, cricket in the nation will not be possible for a very long time.

Full strength Australian team is a challenge for Indian team

Last time when India toured Australia in 2018-2019 Kohli and Shastri heroics led the first-ever test series victory for any sub-continental nation in Australia. This time the situations are different and Australians looked stronger with their two top-ranked players Steve Smith and David Warner.

Marnus Labuschagne urged as a dependent player for Australia and he made his impact in Australian middle order. Smith and Marnus in the middle order will be the threat to any opposition bowling attack.

Questions on Stokes leadership as West Indies dethroned England in the first test of the series

England vs West Indies
England looked helpless in front of West Indies.


After the long wait for the resumption of cricket England and West Indies played the first test of 3 matches closed-door test series in Southampton. The visitors West Indies shocked the hosts and won the first test match by 4 wickets. The England team never showed their positive intent in the entire match, right from the selection of the team to the final ball of the last innings.


In the build-up to the first test match, England captain Ben Stokes completely failed to deliver as a captain. It was Stokes’s first game as a captain of England in any format. He only captained 3 games in his entire domestic career before. Leading the English side was the biggest challenge for Stokes and after this loss, his credibility as a leader is also being judged. Stokes’s as a leader didn’t gone well for England but his heroics as a player impressed everyone before, even in this match he took crucial wickets and delivered with his bat.

West Indies outplayed England-


West Indies won the first test match by 4 wickets and they completely outplayed England right from the first day. In fourth innings West Indies got the target of 200 runs to chase by the English team, they lost their first 3 wickets in quick succession but later on, Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood stood strong and made 73 runs partnership. After the dismissal of Chase, Blackwood went on scoring 95 runs and he was also the highest run-getter in the entire match. Blackwood missed his century but took his team to a winning tale.

On the other side, English bowlers were not in good form to attack the West Indies batsmen. Captain Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer took a couple of wickets in both innings but the complete team effort to win the test match overshadowed their contribution. England played only 3 specialist fast bowlers and an off-spinner Dominic Bess, while the West Indies went with the 4 specialist fast bowlers. In the overcast conditions, there was a lot of help for the fast bowlers and the West Indies fast bowlers used the opportunity pretty well.

West Indies fast bowlers sealed the show-

West Indies fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was the player of the match with his 9 wicket haul in the match. Captain Jason Holder also took 7 wickets in the entire match and he was the one who rotated the bowlers in a positive and tricky way. Ben Stokes could have played Stuart Board for off-spinner Dominic Bess and after the loss, the questions are been raised on the standing English captain. West Indies are now in the lead of 1-0 in this series, while England fears for the series loss. England’s regular captain Joe Root will be back in Manchester test but as of now the momentum of this series is with the visitors.

Donald Trump finally wears face mask in public.

President Trump, had finallymade a significant symbolic concession: After months of refusing to wear a mask in public, Trump for the first time allowed himself to be photographed by assembled media while wearing a face covering. He was visiting Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., at the time.

The president’s decision to wear a mask came as cases of coronavirus surged to record levels in the US and after aides and experts urged Trump to follow his own government’s guidelines on face coverings.

“Hopefully I’ll look good with a mask on,” Trump told a Spanish television network in yet another display of vanity before he headed out to the Walter Reed Military Hospital in Washington DC to visit wounded military personnel. He claimed he’s never been against masks, telling reporters as he left the White House “When you’re in a hospital, especially … I think it’s a great thing to wear a mask.”

The only time Trump has been known to wear a mask was during a private part of a tour of a Ford plant in Michigan.

Meanwhile, governors — including in red states — are urging their citizens to wear masks as a means of bringing the spread under control. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on July 2 issued an executive order that residents of nearly every county in the state cover their noses and mouths when they are out in public, or face a fine of up to $250.
