सिर्फ बुमराह-सुदर्शन नहीं, टीम इंडिया के 13 खिलाड़ी हैं चोटिल

बेंगलुरु स्थित BCCI सेंटर ऑफ एक्सीलेंस बीते कुछ दिनों से सवालों के घेरे में है. आरोप लग रहे हैं कि भारतीय खिलाड़ियों की रिहैबिलिटेशन प्रक्रिया को सही से मैनेज नहीं किया गया, कुछ रिपोर्ट्स में दावा किया गया कि सीनियर प्लेयर्स के लिए अलग फिटनेस मापदंड तय किए गए. जसप्रीत बुमराह को लेकर पहले कहा गया था कि वह श्रीलंका दौरे से पहले फिट हो जाएंगे, लेकिन फिर स्क्वॉड में शामिल करने के बाद उन्हें बाहर कर दिया गया. अब साई सुदर्शन बाहर हो गए हैं. वह श्रीलंका दौरे पर टीम के साथ नहीं गए थे, वह अभी भी बेंगलुरु में हैं. खिलाड़ियों की चोट ने टीम इंडिया की टेंशन बढ़ा रखी है. अब खबर आई है कि 2-3 या 5 नहीं बल्कि पूरे 13 खिलाड़ी अभी Coe में हैं जो रिहैबिलिटेशन प्रक्रिया से गुजर रहे हैं. catcross.org

खिलाड़ियों की चोट से तीनों फॉर्मेट प्रभावित हो रहे हैं. वनडे, टेस्ट और टी20 फॉर्मेट के कई खिलाड़ी चोट की समस्या से जूझ रहे हैं. सेंटर ऑफ एक्सीलेंस पर सवाल उठ रहे हैं, जिसको लेकर कहा जाता था कि यहां जाने वाला कोई भी प्लेयर पूरी तरह रिकवर होकर आएगा. कभी इस सिस्टम की तारीफ होती थी, लेकिन अब सवालों के घेरे में हैं. कमियां नजर आ रही हैं। फिजियो से लेकर मैनेजमेंट पर सवाल उठ रहे हैं. चलिए आपको उन 13 खिलाड़ियों के बारे में बताते हैं जो अभी Coe में हैं.

जसप्रीत बुमराह

पिछले महीने इंग्लैंड के खिलाफ वनडे सीरीज के दूसरे मुकाबले में जसप्रीत बुमराह चोटिल हुए थे. वह बॉउंड्री लाइन पर फील्डिंग करते हुए चोटिल हुए थे. वह IPL के बाद खेल रहे थे, उन्हें अफगानिस्तान के खिलाफ हुई सीरीज में आराम दिया गया था. बुमराह की चोट की बात करें तो उनके घुटनों में पानी भरने की समस्या हुई थी, जिसे इंजेक्शन से निकाला जा चुका था. वह ठीक हो रहे थे और चयनकर्ताओं ने सब्जेक्ट तो फिटनेस के तहत उन्हें श्रीलंका दौरे के लिए चुन लिया. हालांकि फिर बताया गया कि उन्हें और ज्यादा आराम देना चाहते हैं और इसलिए वह श्रीलंका के खिलाफ नहीं खेलेंगे.

हार्दिक पांड्या

ऑलराउंडर हार्दिक लेफ्ट क्वाड्रिसेप्स इंजरी से जूझ रहे हैं. क्वाड्रिसेप्स जांघ के अगले हिस्से की चार मांसपेशियों का समूह होता है, जो चलने, दौड़ने और घुटने को सीधा करने में मदद करता है. वह IPL 2026 के दौरान चोटिल हुए थे. वह अभी बेंगलुरु में ही शिफ्ट हो गए हैं, ताकि जल्दी पूरी तरह ठीक हो सके.

हर्षित राणा

तेज गेंदबाज हर्षित राणा युवा खिलाड़ी हैं, जिन्होंने अपने खेल से खूब प्रभावित भी किया है. वह न सिर्फ गेंदबाजी बल्कि अच्छी बल्लेबाजी भी कर रहे थे. वह ऑलराउंडर के रूप में देखे जाने लगे थे. चोट के कारण वह वर्ल्ड कप में, फिर IPL नहीं खेले. उन्हें इंग्लैंड दौरे के लिए चुना गया, लेकिन फिर हैमस्ट्रिंग खिंच गई. एक रिपोर्ट में दावा किया गया कि जब वह इंग्लैंड दौरे पर गए तब उनका वजन 97 किलोग्राम तक पहुंच गया था.

नितीश कुमार रेड्डी

नितीश को हार्दिक पांड्या के रिप्लेसमेंट के तौर पर देखा जा रहा था, लेकिन वो खुद चोट से जूझ रहे हैं. उनकी इंजरी भी वही है जो हार्दिक पांड्या की है, लेफ्ट क्वाड्रिसेप्स इंजरी. वह अफगानिस्तान के खिलाफ वनडे सीरीज में चोटिल हुए थे। वह भी अभी CoE में हैं.

साई सुदर्शन

बाएं हाथ के बल्लेबाज साई सुदर्शन अभी सेंटर ऑफ एक्सीलेंस में हैं, उन्हें दाएं पैर में स्ट्रेस की समस्या है. चयनकर्ताओं को उम्मीद थी कि साई श्रीलंका दौरे के लिए फिट हो सकते हैं, इसलिए सब्जेक्ट टू फिटनेस के तहत उन्हें टीम में चुना गया था लेकिन अब वह इस दौरे से पूरी तरह बाहर हो गए हैं.

वरुण चक्रवर्ती

वरुण को IPL 2026 के दौरान चोट लगी थी, हालांकि चोट लगने के बाद भी उन्होंने गेंदबाजी की थी. इस पर कई सवाल भी खड़े हुए. इसके बाद इंग्लैंड के खिलाफ टी20 सीरीज के दौरान उनकी हैमस्ट्रिंग खिंच गई.

वाशिंगटन सुंदर

वाशिंगटन टेस्ट में अच्छा प्रदर्शन कर रहे थे, हालांकि अन्य फॉर्मेट में उनके प्रदर्शन पर सवाल उठ रहे थे. लेकिन अब चोट के कारण वह टेस्ट में भी नहीं खेल पा रहे. उन्हें हैमस्ट्रिंग की समस्या है और वह भी Coe में हैं.

हिमांशु सिंह

हिमांशु ऑफ स्पिनर हैं, जो मुंबई के लिए रणजी ट्रॉफी खेलते हैं. वह युवा हैं, लेकिन फिलहाल इंजरी से जूझ रहे हैं। उन्हें दाएं घुटने की इंजरी है.

Shubman Gill mentors Brar and Suthar as they bat in the nets at NCC

Debasis Sen, Colombo

India Test captain Shubman Gill missed the second day of the three-day warm-up match against the Sri Lanka Cricket XI at the NCC Grounds in Colombo after being advised to rest by the team’s medical staff. Gill sustained an impact injury to his right ring finger during Thursday’s training session and was rested as a precaution. With India’s first Test against Sri Lanka beginning in Galle on August 15, the visiting team’s management is taking no chances with the captain’s fitness.

Instead of batting, Gill spent time on the sidelines on Saturday, closely observing Gurnoor Brar and Manav Suthar during their net session. The India captain interacted with both players and shared technical inputs as they went through throwdowns, and faced Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar and Tanush Kotian.

Brar, in particular, strengthened his case for a place in India’s playing XI with an impressive all-round performance in the warm-up game. The seamer returned figures of 1 for 49 before producing a 18-ball 36 runs, that included four sixes, in the final over of the day against spinner Dilum Sudeera.

Suthar also made a strong impression, scoring 41 off 90 balls. The left-arm spinner also took 2/33, further bolstering his case for a place in India’s spin department alongside Ravindra Jadeja.

Gill’s decision to sit out the match was purely precautionary, with the captain opting to use the training session to closely monitor and guide the two promising youngsters. His focus now remains on making a full recovery and being ready to lead India in the opening Test in Galle.

India vs Sri Lanka XI warm-up match: Padikkal seals No. 3 spot with stylish hundred as Jaiswal, Pant fail

Devdutt Padikkal assured his spot in India’s playing eleven for the opening Test with a stylish century on the second day of the warm-up match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI, while seasoned Rishabh Pant and his understudy Dhruv Jurel failed to make the most of favourable batting conditions.

At the end of the second day, India finished its first innings at 357 for eight in 90 overs. Padikkal’s artistic unbeaten 142 and a gritty 63 (retired out) by veteran Ravindra Jadeja were the highlights, while Manav Suthar (41) also impressed with the bat on his maiden overseas international assignment.

The pitch had become much easier to bat on, and Padikkal took full advantage, hitting 18 delectable boundaries to show that he is ready to reclaim his rightful place now that first-choice No. 3 batter Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of the series after failing to recover in time from his big-toe injury.

With Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) falling off the second delivery of the day while attempting to flash at left-arm seamer Vishwa Fernando (1/42), KL Rahul (40) and Padikkal added 96 for the second wicket.

While Rahul played himself in, the sinewy Padikkal was a treat to watch, opening with a couple of cover drives off fuller deliveries before unleashing some delectable cuts both in front of and behind point. He was particularly severe on right arm pacer Ishitha Wijesundara who was hit for multiple boundaries. Anything short from pacers or spinners was pulled with a lot of disdain. The famous ‘Nataraja Shot’ also came out of the closet against the pacers.

The hallmark of Padikkal’s batting was the extra second he almost seems to have while deciding on his execution. His defence has also got tighter and the footwork against spinners has been exemplary. A pull shot off off-spinner Ramesh Mendis brought up his ton in just 121 balls before he was asked to retire.

By then, he had added 72 runs for the third wicket with Jadeja, who again showed why he is a valuable asset as a middle order batter overseas even as his spin bowling stocks has depleted quite considerably.

The biggest disappointment of the day was certainly Rishabh Pant (2) who once again played an indiscreet shot against off-spinner Mendis (2/77) trying to hit him against the turn over long-on. The leading edge flew to long-off.

If Pant perished going for the offensive, Dhruv Jurel’s (1) technical ineptness against off-spinner was exposed once again after the South Africa Test series. A forward defensive prod and the inside edge flew to short square leg fielder who caught it on second attempt.

But Manav Suthar, who is impressing everyone with his heart and commitment joined Jadeja as the duo added 76 to steady the ship. Towards the end, Padikkal once again came out to bat and added four more boundaries to his quota of 14 in company of Saransh Jain (22 retired out).

South Africa approach Pitso Mosimane for second stint as head coach

Johannesburg [South Africa], August 8 (ANI): South Africa has approached Pitso Mosimane about returning for a second spell as head coach, with veteran Hugo Broos set to leave the role.

South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan said Mosimane was the preferred choice, but added that “we still need to tie up some loose ends" before the appointment can be finalised.

“We will make a formal announcement of the coach next week," he added in a SAFA statement on Saturday, as per Reuters.

The 62-year-old Mosimane took charge of South Africa after the 2010 World Cup, succeeding Brazilian Carlos Alberto Parreira, whom he had worked under for three years.

However, Mosimane was sacked in mid-2012 following a disappointing start to South Africa’s 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Mosimane, who has won the African Champions League three times with South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns and Egyptian club Al Ahly, also endured a costly error during South Africa’s final 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

He adopted a defensive approach at home against Sierra Leone, believing South Africa only needed a draw to qualify. They actually needed to win to secure their place in the tournament.

Mosimane and his players celebrated at the final whistle, only to discover that they had misunderstood the qualification permutations, with head-to-head results taking precedence over goal difference as the tiebreaker.

Belgian-born Broos, 74, quit as coach after this year’s World Cup, where South Africa reached the last 32 before losing to co-hosts Canada. (ANI)

AFA, FC Barcelona mourn death of Lionel Messi’s father Jorge Messi

Buenos Aires [Argentina], August 8 (ANI): The Argentine Football Association (AFA) on Saturday expressed its condolences following the death of Jorge Messi, father of football superstar Lionel Messi.

Jorge Messi died at the age of 68. He had been receiving treatment at a clinic in Rosario, according to the Argentine news outlet La Nacion.

After Jorge Messi’s death, the AFA, in an X post, expressed its condolences to Lionel Messi and his family, offering support and solidarity following their loss.

“Stay strong, Leo Messi and family. We are with you in this difficult moment. We send you our most heartfelt embrace," the AFA said.

FC Barcelona, who Lionel Messi played for from 2004 to 2021, also expressed its deepest condolences to Jorge Messi’s family, acknowledging his role in entrusting Messi’s early and most successful football years to the club. The club thanked him for his contribution and commitment to Barca and offered its support to the Messi family.

“The President and the Board of Directors of FC Barcelona express their deepest condolences on the passing of Jorge Messi, father of former Barca player and legend Lionel Messi, and, on behalf of the entire Barca family, extend their condolences to the Messi family. FC Barcelona thanks Jorge Messi for his commitment to our Club, for entrusting us with the beginnings and the most glorious years of his son Leo’s football career. May he rest in peace," FC Barcelona said in an X post.

Notably, Jorge was not just Lionel Messi’s father but also played an important role in shaping his football career. After Lionel Messi’s football career took off, Jorge became his son’s agent and strategic adviser after working for years as a supervisor at a steel factory.

Jorge was also closely involved in Lionel’s early career at Newell’s Old Boys. When Messi was 13, he helped facilitate his move to Spain to join Barcelona’s youth academy. The Catalan club also covered the cost of his treatment for a growth hormone deficiency, a condition that affected his physical development. Messi underwent daily injections as part of the treatment, which helped him reach a final height of 1.70 metres.

Jorge was married to Celia Cuccittini and had four children: Lionel, Rodrigo, Matias and Maria Sol. (ANI)
