Trott sees 'promising signs' in Ibrahim's 114 and Afghanistan's third-day domination

Trott hopes to have the full complement of players to choose from when Afghanistan play Test cricket, which isn’t always the case

If Afghanistan got to play more Test cricket, you’d see them rise as quickly in that format as they have in the others. This was the line of thinking their coach Jonathan Trott presented after their first Test against Sri Lanka, which Afghanistan lost by ten wickets but dominated portions of.In any case, Afghanistan have won three of their first eight Tests, which, going by how other sides have performed in their first few years of Test cricket, is an outstanding start to their journey. In the Test at the SSC, Afghanistan had dominated day three almost entirely, with Ibrahim Zadran hitting a maiden Test century while forging big partnerships with Noor Ali Zadran and Rahmat Shah.They fell away rapidly on day four, but had had nine wickets in hand overnight, and were only 43 runs from establishing a lead.Related

“This is our eighth Test as a nation, and this year Sri Lanka play ten Tests,” Trott said after the match. “At the moment, you see in the T20 and ODI formats, the more we get to play the better, and the bigger pool of talent we can select from. But for us to come here and go neck and neck with Sri Lanka, and yesterday dominate the day, shows promising signs for the future.”But, as Trott pointed out, Afghanistan didn’t have their full complement of players to choose from for Tests, with the likes of Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz currently playing the ILT20 in the UAE. They were also without Rashid Khan, their star spinner, as he recovers from a back surgery.”There are a lot of other players we can call upon to play Test cricket, but they’re all still playing the leagues,” Trott said. “I think Sri Lanka faces the same issues. So do all cricketing the nations. It’s about when those Tests are played and the availability of players, and if the players feel like the balance between leagues and playing for the national side is.”It’s a double-edged sword, but I would like to have a full batch of players to be able to select from. Hopefully for Ireland [whom Afghanistan play in a one-off Test beginning February 28], we can get that right.”Cricketers have a short window in their careers, and they’re trying to set themselves up and trying to find the right balance in terms of nation and league. The more money there is in Test cricket the more attractive it’s going to be for younger players. That’s my one fear, that younger players aren’t going to see it as a route to playing. Test cricket is so unique. It’s such a shame if that isn’t protected and nurtured as much as possible.”On the Test itself, Trott poured substantial praise on Ibrahim, whose 114 was the centrepiece of an Afghanistan second innings that prevented them from being completely blown away in this match. This was the fourth Test hundred from an Afghanistan batter, and the first from one of their younger batters – Ibrahim is 22.”Yesterday, he spent the whole day in the field,” Trott said of Ibrahim. “He fielded in the morning on the third day of a Test with humidity and the temperature close to 40 degrees. But then also the mental strength it takes as well – getting nought in the first innings, and then being able to field for 100-plus overs, and then being able to spend the amount of time he did at the crease is credit to him as a youngster.”It’s a good example for the rest of the players of Afghanistan – the standards of Test cricket, and the fitness you need to call upon. The way that he trains is second to none, and he’s a great ambassador for the game, and the country.”

SL and Bangladesh committed to putting past flare-ups behind them

Bangladesh captain Shanto and SL coach Silverwood have both promised a competitive series that will be played in the right spirit

Tensions reached boiling point between the two teams during the 2018 Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka•AFP

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Sri Lanka coach Chris Silverwood both played down any narrative of personal scores being settled by the two sides over the next month.While Sri Lanka-Bangladesh clashes in the past have occasionally boiled over, both camps, at least for now, expect little more than a competitive series played in the right spirit.”I am not thinking about the past,” Shanto said, on the eve of the first T20I, in Sylhet. “I think it will be a good series. We are doing everything we can to win this series. I am not feeling pressure about our opponents. We are focused on what we are doing. We want to do what we can control. Every international series has pressure, and that’s also true for our opponents. Everyone is capable of handling this pressure. Like I believe that all of our five or six bowlers can be match-winners.”Related

Silverwood, too, said that he wanted to forget the past and focus on the future, particularly Sri Lanka’s preparation for the T20 World Cup, which begins in June.”First and foremost, I expect this to be a very competitive series between two good sides,” he said. “What happened in the past, for me, that’s history. It’s gone. I think what we have to do is, certainly from our perspective, is concentrate on what’s in front of us and remember what we’re aiming for. Obviously we are now in the build-up towards the World Cup. I think all teams now are sort of finalising their sides, their squads give an experience, so ultimately that’s what it is.”We’re building up to a World Cup, and it’s great that we have such a good competition in front of us to do that, great series to do that in. So, as I said, I’m expecting a very exciting series. There’s some dangerous players on both sides. So I think it’ll be good fun. But as I said, what’s happened in the past is history. It’s about what’s in front of us now.”But the English coach was quick to point out who he believes are the series favourites.”Well, obviously I’m going to say Sri Lanka are going to be the favourites. But as I’ve already said, there are two good teams that will both be pushing very hard to win this series. We are all building up to the World Cup now, so we want to start making sure that we’re playing top cricket going into that. So as I said before, I expect this to be very competitive.”Shanto, for his part, is looking forward to his first series after being named as Bangladesh’s permanent captain in all three formats. The team has done well in T20Is in the last 12 months, including home series wins against England, Ireland and Afghanistan. They even won a T20I in New Zealand in December, for the first time.”We had a good year in T20Is last year,” Shanto said. “We have improved in this format, and if we keep this up, we can do better in any conditions. I think the 30-35 players who are in the three formats in total, it is very important that they all contribute to the team.”We have to play as a team. Everyone contributed to the team last year. Whether we believe in each other, that’s important. It was always imperative that we played T20Is just after the BPL. It is easier for our planning as everyone is playing in this format. I believe that we can win this series.Najmul Hossain Shanto was named Bangladesh’s permanent captain in all formats last month•Getty Images

Shanto touched upon his challenges ahead as the new captain, as he aims to build relationships with his players and coaching staff. He believes that the new responsibility will not pull him down as a batter.”It is a challenging job but planning wouldn’t be too difficult in the three formats. I have to know every cricketer, although we spend time together while playing.”It is not as if I have to score some extra runs for being the captain. I am a batter first, so my job is to score runs for the team. I would have to do the same when I was not the captain. I want to utilise the responsibility I am given. I don’t have to do a lot of things just because I am the captain.”For Sri Lanka, Silverwood said that the absence of bowling lynchpin Wanindu Hasaranga, who has been suspendeded for two matches for his outburst against an umpire, and Pathum Nissanka (hamstring injury) will give others an opportunity to step up.”Wanindu missing two matches is something that we have to deal with,” Silverwood said. “He has accepted his punishment, and all we have to do now is move on. What it does do is create opportunity for other people within the squad to get great game time, leading into the World Cup.”Pathum is a big loss. I mean, we’ve seen, certainly in the last seven, eight months, he’s become a very, very consistent player at the top of the order for Sri Lanka. And recently we’ve seen some super knocks from him, both in ODI cricket and in T20 cricket. The great thing is I don’t think Pathum will be too long before he’s returning to us.”He’s a very valuable member of the squad and a very much respected member of the squad. So we’re looking forward to getting back. But as I’ve said before, I mean, this also creates opportunity for people that might not get that game time that may be required, obviously, for a World Cup. So, for me It’s going to provide someone else with game time.”

MatériaMais Notícias

O volante Patrick vai desembarcar em Belo Horizonte nesta terça-feira (10/1) para fazer os exames médicos e assinar contrato de dois anos com o Atlético-MG. Galo e São Paulo já entraram em acordo em relação à transferência do jogador e só faltam alguns trâmites burocráticos para que o meio-campista seja oficializado pelo time mineiro.

Segundo apuração do LANCE!, Patrick vai ganhar um substancial aumento de salário e o Atlético-MG vai pagar R$ 3 milhões por 30% dos direitos econômicos do volante e descontar o valor que o time paulista deve em função da contratação do goleiro Rafael. O guarda-meta foi vendido por cerca de R$ 5 milhões ao São Paulo. Além disso, o Monte Azul e o Internacional vão manter a participação atual nos direitos econômicos do volante.

Em 2022, o São Paulo contratou Patrick por cerca de R$ 3,2 milhões.

A negociação foi complicada, uma vez que o São Paulo tinha interesse em manter o volante.

Esse detalhe foi um dos trunfos do Galo na negociação além do valor pelos direitos econômicos do goleiro Rafael.

No sábado (7/1), Patrick treinou normalmente em São Paulo, mas não participou do jogo-treino contra o Guarani, vencido por 1 a 0 pelo Tricolor, no CT Barra Funda.

Patrick foi um dos destaques de 2022 no São Paulo, tendo marcado nove gols e distribuído sete assistências em 54 jogos disputados. O jogador já trabalhou com Eduardo Coudet, um dos entusiastas da contratação, no Internacional.

Balbirnie's 77 leads the way as Ireland beat Pakistan for the first time in T20Is

Babar’s fifty and Iftikhar’s 38* off 15 balls took Pakistan to 182, but Ireland chased it down with a ball to spare

Ireland and Pakistan were playing each other in a T20I for the first time in 15 years, and Andy Balbirnie’s 77 helped the hosts beat the visitors. It was Ireland’s first win over Pakistan in the format, with the only time the teams having met earlier coming at the World T20 in 2009.Harry Tector, who added 77 with Balbirnie for the third wicket, set the platform in the 183-run chase, before cameos from George Dockrell and Curtis Campher took Ireland over the line.The chase came down to a tense finish, with Ireland needing 40 in the last four overs even as Pakistan had an over each from Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi, along with two from Abbas Afridi, in the bank. Abbas started the 17th over with the wicket of Dockrell and conceded just three off the first four balls. But then began the recurring theme of a bowler starting the over well before conceding a late boundary and bringing down the asking rate.Next over, with Ireland requiring another 28 from 17 balls, Shadab Khan couldn’t hold on to a tough chance, and handed Balbirnie a life. Naseem nailed a couple of yorkers to bring the game back in the balance. But Delany made room and crunched a low full toss through cover to make it 11 off the over.Shaheen was closer to his best in the penultimate over, which started with Ireland requiring another 19. He delivered around-the-wicket yorkers, and knocked over Balbirnie with a swerving, low full toss. But an audacious reverse ramp first ball from Campher over the keeper left Abbas with 11 to defend off the final over.Campher was taken aback by the first ball by Abbas rising off a shortish length, but managed to guide it off the under-edge between the wicketkeeper and short third for four. He capitalised on a missed yorker to level the scores before sneaking a leg bye to seal victory.Babar Azam scored 57•Sportsfile/Getty Images

Balbirnie, Tector set up the chaseIreland’s aggressive start to the chase saw Naseem dismiss Paul Stirling cheaply. Shaheen was off boil in his two opening overs but Abbas, his replacement, struck first ball after being given to bowl in the powerplay.But coming in at 27 for 2 did not stop Tector from looking for early boundaries. It allowed Balbirnie to consolidate at the other end, as the pair lifted Ireland from 43 for 2 in the powerplay to 84 for 2 after ten overs. They targeted Shadab Khan after Imad Wasim tightened his length to stay afloat.Tector fell to Imad but Dockrell joined Balbirnie to take Shadab down for 23 in the match-turning 14th over. The last ball was skied towards Iftikhar Ahmed at long-on, but he stepped on the boundary cushion to give Dockrell a life, along with six runs. Balbirnie and Dockrell kept the run rate around nine an over to set up the successful finish.Babar fifty, Iftikhar cameo lift PakistanEarlier in the day, Ireland had put Pakistan in to bat. Babar Azam joined Saim Ayub in the second over after Tector, placed at mid-off, ran Mohammed Rizwan out, as the latter was called for a single by Ayub, before being sent back.Babar and Ayub found mixed success while trying to muscle the ball in the powerplay, as they hit six fours and a six, but were also often beaten by Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy’s tight lengths.After the powerplay, the two batters took on Ben White and Curtis Campher, as they accelerated and added 53 off the next five overs. They punished at anything too full or too short, but Ayub holed out to a wide drag down from Delany, who ended the 85-run stand off 57 balls.Babar brought up a 39-ball fifty in the 13th over, but the scoring kept fluctuating as he continued to hit and miss, even as Fakhar Zaman was unable to get off the blocks.Young’s return in the 13th over pegged Pakistan back as Babar miscued a shortish ball to long-on to finish with a 43-ball 57, while Azam Khan, trying to go over deep square leg, fell for a two-ball duck.Pakistan went on to lose 3 for 7 in six legal balls midway from the 15th over onwards. Fakhar then fell in the 18th over for 20 off 18 balls, but Iftikhar was unfazed. He took a liking to Adair, smacking him for three sixes and two fours across eight legal balls.Iftikhar, who finished on 38* from 15 balls, was aided by Shaheen’s two sixes off McCarthy in the 19th over, as Pakistan smashed 44 off the last three to reach 182, which Ireland chased down with a ball to spare.
