5 Father-Son Cricketing Duos Who Have Faced India – Flintoffs Are The Latest
In a twist laced with nostalgia and symbolism, Rocky Flintoff, the 17-year-old son of legendary England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, has been named in the England Lions squad for two upcoming four-day matches against India 'A'. The red-ball fixtures, scheduled to begin on May 30, will act as a prelude to India's much-anticipated 5-Test tour of England later this summer.
Rocky's selection not only draws attention to his rising talent, highlighted by a century against Cricket Australia XI earlier this year, but also rekindles memories of his father's iconic clashes with India. Andrew Flintoff, once the heartbeat of England's middle order and one of cricket's fiercest competitors in the early 2000s, famously played a crucial role in England's 2005 Ashes triumph and left an indelible mark on cricket fans in India during numerous spirited encounters.

Deep Dasgupta Makes 2 Changes In India's 11 For 2nd Test, Drops Sai Sudharsan For...
Last Updated: Cricketer-turned-pundit Deep Dasgupta wants India to drop Sai Sudharsan from their playing 11 for the 2nd Test against England. Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta wants India to make two changes in their playing 11 for the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England: dropping one-Test-old Sai Sudharsan for Nitish Kumar Reddy and bringing in Kuldeep Yadav at number eight. Sudharsan made his international debut in the first Test at Headingley. He got out strangled down the leg for a duck in the first innings and clipped an easy one to mid-wicket after looking good for 30 (48) in the second. Dasgupta believes that Sudharsan should make way for the more experienced Karun Nair at number three, while Reddy could supplement the pace attack from number six. 'In general, you don't want to make too many changes after the first game, but you have also got to think this is a very young side. It's a new captain, newish side. So you have got to get the combination right. Karun Nair has got most of his runs at No. 3. Also, he batted for India A against the England Lions at No. 3," the former India wicketkeeper-batter said on Star Sports, as quoted by Sportskeeda. 'So you might want to look at Karun Nair at No. 3," he added. That opens up a space for someone like Nitish at No. 6, who, if required, can give you a few overs of seam. I will have a chat with Sai Sudharsan and say this is not a reflection of what happened in the first Test, but this is a combination things. So that conversation becomes very, very important, how you put it across to someone like Sai." The bigger point of concern in Headingley was Shardul Thakur. Picked as an all-rounder, he contributed 1 and 4 with the bat and was trusted to bowl just 16 overs from more than 182. Dasgupta feels Kuldeep at number eight would be free of any batting responsibilities because the top-order is in form. 'Looking forward to Birmingham, which is usually a batting-friendly venue, I would love to see Kuldeep there. The advantage of having a top five amongst runs is that you are not too worried about contribution from your No. 8 with the bat," he said.

Ian Healy tears into batting coach for Australia's 'regressing batting performance': 'Don't care how you...'
Pat Cummins and co might have won the opening Test of the three-match series by 159 runs against West Indies at the Kensington Oval, but one cannot deny the concerns around the batting performance. Australia managed just 180 runs in the first innings, and it was only down to Travis Head and Beau Webster that the visitors were able to post a target of more than 300 runs. The top order has left much to be desired, with Sam Konstas failing to leave an impression. Ian Healy tore into Australia's batting coach for the performances off late, saying Pat Cummins and co continue to 'regress.'(AP) The right-handed Konstas, who did not play the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa, managed scores of 3 and 5 against the West Indies. Australia even failed to score big in the WTC final, and this was the main reason behind their loss to the Proteas at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Ian Healy took aim at Australia's batting coach Michael Di Venuto for the 'regressing' performances in the longest format, saying the time has come for players to stand up and let the bat do all the talking. "I love to put it back onto the players more than coaches usually. But, as I said, Australian cricket's batting head coach – and every state batting coach – should be under pressure because there's not enough runs being scored around the nation either," Healy said on SEN. Also Read: West Indies pacer avenges Australia great's insult by running through Cummins and Co "Michael Di Venuto – a friend of mine who is a good coach and a good man – has held the job since mid-2021. In this time, our national team batting has regressed in performance at the Test level," he added. Cameron Green move backfires The move to elevate Cameron Green has so far backfired as the right-handed batter failed to get going in the WTC final and then the first Test against the West Indies. Marnus Labuschagne was dropped from the squad for the first Test, and Steve Smith missed the contest due to an injury. Even Usman Khawaja has failed to set the stage on fire, and the pressure is mounting ahead of the upcoming Ashes. "All that's important to me is the performance. 'I don't care how you do it or what will make it easier for you – just get it done. They're not making it easy for themselves at all, players have got to deal better with nerves by the sound of it," said Healy. "They need to create sound techniques and bat with balance so you can make really sound decisions ball after ball for long periods. At the moment, we're failing many of these points, and the lower order is having to deal with it – either recovering the score or losing. It's just too hard at the moment, we've got to clear those minds of our top order," he added.
