U19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull recently earned his maiden call up in the Delhi squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy season 2021-22. The 19-year-old has registered for the IPL 2022 mega auction and is expected to grab the attention of certain franchises as well. He scored a brilliant 110 in the semi-finals against the Australian U-19 side that set up the win for India U19 in the Caribbean and does possess a calm shoulder.

A lot of positives from the youngster have been listed already including his excellent fielding skills in the circle and he has joined the list of U19 World Cup-winning captains from Delhi, Virat Kohli in 2008 and Unmukt Chand in 2012. It will be a huge task for Dhull to replicate the success of Kohli in international cricket while Chand was in no way lesser in terms of having an excellent potential with the bat.

As per the latest developments, Bangladesh all-rounder Nasir Hossain has gone on trial after being charged with adultery. Nasir, who represented Bangladesh in more than 100 games, married Tamima Sultana in February 2021. Her first husband Rakib Hasan has filed a case against the Bangladesh International, claiming he is still married to Tamima.

It must be noted that Bangladeshi men, but not women, can be punished for adultery in the country, although cases are rare. Hence, Nasir could face seven-year imprisonment if he’s found guilty. As far as Tamima is concerned, she has been charged with forgery. Rakib’s lawyer Ishrat Hasan claimed that his client’s first wife made a fake divorce notice in order to marry Hossain.

Veteran Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane has been enduring a rough patch over the last 12 months as runs have dried up for him. In 2021, the 33-year-old scored just 479 runs in 13 Tests at a dismal average of 20.83. As a result, he was stripped off as India’s vice-captain in the longest format of the game. His place in the side has also come under the scanner.

In 2022, Rahane play.
