SHORT CORNER
Rohit eyes
Kohli's spot
After taking a 1-0 lead in the series, India will take on South Africa in the 3rd T20Iat the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru today.
The battle of T20I dominance between India captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma will continue as the two Indian batting greats are in a neck-and-neck battle
to be on top of the list of leading run-scorers' in T20I cricket, with Kohli edging past Rohit to be on the top of the pile with his match winning 72 not out in the 2nd T20I against the Proteas earlier this week in Mohali.
However, Kohli's reign could come to an abrupt end on Sunday if Sharma regains the top spot when he comes out to bat. The right-handed batsman is just eight runs away from Kohli's feat, and could take the top spot. Kohli has 2,441 runs in T20I cricket, while Sharma has 2,434.
Since, Sharma will open the innings for India, he will come out to bat before Kohli, and hence, could easily surpass his skipper with a couple of boundaries. --Agencies
Pakistan leave out Hafeez
Pakistan left out veteran batsman Mohammad Hafeez for next week's series start against Sri Lanka, who are touring the country for the first time since they were targeted in a terror attack.
Hafeez, 38, was part of Pakistan’s fifth-placed World Cup squad but has been kept off due to his commitments in the Caribbean Premier League, said head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq.
"He is not out of our plans," Misbah added. "Whoever is effective for the team will be included in the future."
Fellow World Cup team members Hasan Ali and fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi have also been left out due to poor fitness.
Sarfaraz Ahmed will lead the team in both the one-day and T20 matches.
Middle order batsman Iftikhar Ahmed was recalled to the one-day squad after a four-year absence.
Cricket tours were suspended in Pakistan for six years after a 2009 assault on the Sri Lankan team bus that killed half a dozen police officers and wounded six members of the visiting team.
Sri Lanka agreed to the current tour after a favourable security assessment.
Three one-day internationals will be played in Karachi, the first on September 27.
Another three Twenty20 matches will be played in Lahore in early October.
SQUAD
Sarfaraz Ahmed, Babar Azam, Abid Ali, Asif Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Haris Sohail, Mohammad Hasnain, Iftikhar Ali, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Shinwari, Wahab Riaz. -Afp
Moeen on break
from Tests
England all-rounder Moeen Ali has taken a break from Test cricket after losing out on a central contract for the longest format for the 2019-20 season following a dismal summer.
The 32-year-old off-spinner and left-handed batsman lost his place in England's World Cup winning team before being dropped from the Test side after the defeat in the first Ashes Test.
"It's just to get away from it a little bit. I feel like I want to enjoy my batting and this will give me a bit of a break," Moeen told ESPNcricinfo. "I want to spend some time with the family.
"I’ve been playing for England for five years and it's been quite tough. The intensity is obviously higher in Test cricket so this is just to give me a break and then we will see what happens after that.
"I'm not ruling out playing Test cricket in the future." -Reuters
