Sri Lanka competed hard on a bouncy Wankhede Stadium deck, but India pulled ahead at the crucial moments to wrap up a five-wicket win

We showed glimpses of where we’re heading – Pothas

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsFor the first time in the series, Sri Lanka were genuinely in the contest. The bounce at the Wankhede Stadium gave their seamers some zip that they couldn’t quite manage to generate in Cuttack and Indore. In defence of 136, they dismissed the rampaging pair of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, who walloped joint-fastest T20 hundred two nights ago, inside seven overs. India’s asking rate climbed to close to 8.5 per over with eight overs left, a genuine test for a middle order that hasn’t had too much batting time of late.This was Sri Lanka’s best opportunity to close out the game. But India had MS Dhoni in the middle at the end along with Dinesh Karthik. Nuwan Pradeep only conceded six runs off the first five balls of the penultimate over, leaving India nine to get off the last seven balls. At that point it was Pradeep who cracked under the pressure; he sent down a friendly full-toss that Karthik swatted into the stands beyond deep midwicket. That, right there, was the knockout punch with one full over to play. A heady climax eventually turned cold right at the end, but not before India had been given quite a scare.Lack of scoreboard pressure early in the chase gave India some leeway as Shreyas Iyer and Manish Pandey overcame early struggles against the moving ball to add 42 in 6.2 overs to put India back on track. But the match swung again when Iyer was run-out at the non-striker’s end, Akila Dananjaya’s fingertips intercepting a flat-batted strike from Pandey and deflecting it into the stumps.The wicket may have not come about had Thisara Perera not thrown himself to his left to stop a single at cover off the previous delivery. Clearly, Sri Lanka were in the game, waiting to grab at any opportunity. When they sent Iyer back, India needed 55 off 40. This was precisely the moment when Pandey, largely subdued until then, decided to cut loose, hitting three fours off the next five balls he faced. India were back in it.But Sri Lanka weren’t giving up. Hardik Pandya feathered an attempted ramp to the wicketkeeper, leaving India four down with 37 to get off the last five overs. When Pandey was bowled by one that jagged back in to beat his inside edge – the dismissal coming about largely because of his style of playing beside the line – it came down to 28 off 23.Up against Chameera with no slip in place, Dhoni managed to find a thick edge that beat the diving wicketkeeper and ran away for four. In the same over, there was more drama when Sri Lanka reviewed a not-out lbw decision, the tense crowd roaring in unison as the giant screen showed the ball missing the stumps. Dhoni would eventually hit the winning runs.The architects who masterminded Sri Lanka’s downfall after they were sent in to bat were Washington Sundar and Jaydev Unadkat – two bowlers who had been at the forefront of Rising Pune Supergiant’s magnificent run to the IPL final earlier this year.Washington, India’s youngest T20I debutant, bowled three overs of no-frills offspin upfront, often varying his pace between fast and faster, his length between good and full, and strangulated the largely left-handed top order. He finished with figures of 4-0-22-1. Unadkat, IPL 2017’s second-highest wicket-taker who also finished the tournament with an economy rate of 7.02, cramped the left-handers early on and was rewarded for his accuracy. Washington and Unadkat prised out Sri Lanka’s top three inside four overs to set off a procession.It needed Asela Gunaratne’s industrious 37-ball 36 and Dasun Shanaka’s 29 off 24 to haul Sri Lanka to 135 from a precarious 85 for 6.India suffered a few early jitters in their chase. KL Rahul was the first to fall, given out lbw while trying to heave Dushmantha Chameera’s indipper across the line. Rohit too was shaky to begin with, and was saved by the bounce in the first over when he played down the wrong line of a Dananjaya googly that sneaked between bat and pad. Two balls later, he was deceived in flight and nearly chipped a return catch.Rohit broke the stranglehold by disturbing Dananjaya’s length – slog-sweeping him to midwicket and then stepping out to hit him straight down the ground for six. But unlike in the previous two games, Sri Lanka managed to sustain the pressure with Shanaka nibbling away in the off-stump channel and getting the ball to jag both ways.A miscued pull to a ball that skidded on faster than Rohit expected resulted in a simple catch to deep square leg. This left the middle order in the spotlight, and they were able to steer India to their target, with some help from Sri Lanka’s nerves and the dew, and bring a memorable home season to a winning end.

A half-century and a five-for, it was all in a day’s work for the 18-year old offspinning allrounder

ScorecardAfif Hossain flays the ball through cover•International Cricket Council

There were performances aplenty in Lincoln, but perhaps the most decisive one came from Afif Hossain. The 18-year old, who has already had a taste of top-flight cricket playing in the Bangladesh Premier League, and at the Under-19 World Cup he made a bigger name for himself by striking a half-century when his team was flagging and then picking up a five-for to seal the game.Canada had done quite well, at least at the start of each innings. Seam bowler Faisal Jamkhandi struck in the second over of the match, eventually finishing 5 for 48, and the captain Arslan Khan made 63 at No. 3. The end, though, was a problem. They gave up 84 runs in the last 10 overs, with Towhid Hridoy striking a magnificent 122 off 126 balls. And while batting, after being 170 for 4 in a chase of 265, they were bowled out for 198.Afif’s offspin was the major reason behind such a collapse. He began his first spell by dismissing a Canadian opener. Randhir Sandhu gone. His second spell followed a similar script. Pranav Sharma gone. Coming back to bowl a third, he took out their top-scorer Arslan and finished his spell with a double-wicket over. Considering Afif had also lifted Bangladesh from 91 for 3 to 202 for 4, he was an easy choice for Man of the Match.

Ashton Agar stifled New Zealand with the ball before D’Arcy Short capped an excellent debut series by crunching his second T20I fifty

The Report by Alan Gardner21-Feb-2018
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAfter the boom at Eden Park, swiftly came the bust. Five days on from Australia’s world-record T20 chase, New Zealand opted to set a target again; this time, after an excellent bowling display on a less-frisky surface, the requirement over 120 balls was almost 100 runs fewer. D’Arcy Short capped an excellent debut series by crunching his second T20I fifty and the match descended into a hit’n’gurgle as the rain swept in for a second time.That Australia did not have to resort to the spectacular with the bat was down to a canny display with the ball. Where 32 sixes had streaked the Auckland skies when these two teams met in the group, the tally barely managed double-figures in the final. Short dismissively swatted three early on to ease Australia on to the front foot as they hunted down a fifth successive win that gave them the trophy as well as taking them second in the ICC rankings – a remarkable turnaround, given they started the month languishing at No. 7.The T20 tri-series is a new-ish innovation but defeat for New Zealand followed a familiar script. In a variety of multi-team tournaments, including most recently at the 2015 World Cup, Australia have held the whip hand over their Trans-Tasman neighbours: their record now 12 wins in a row in finals going back to 1981.Despite a flinty innings from Ross Taylor, New Zealand’s decision to bat first abruptly back-fired. Striving for a suitably stratospheric score to challenge a powerful Australia line-up, they lost wickets throughout the innings – only two partnerships, the first and the ninth, managed more than 18 runs. Kane Williamson had perhaps been hoping a used pitch would break up further for his spinners to exploit, but New Zealand’s batting cracked first, with Ashton Agar particularly impressive in taking career-best figures.David Warner successfully muzzled the New Zealand innings with 16 bowling changes and then helped establish a base for the chase, Australia’s openers combining for 72 in eight overs. Short was the more aggressive, striking two rapier straight drives and then hoisting Trent Boult for the first six in the fifth over; he cleared the ropes twice more in the next, off Tim Southee, as Australia finished the Powerplay comfortably set on 55 without loss.A short rain delay allowed New Zealand to regroup and although they removed Short after he had completed a 28-ball fifty, it was near-impossible to build pressure in the field. Warner was bowled by Ish Sodhi and Agar, promoted to No. 3, fell to a stumping against fellow left-armer Mitchell Santner; had a wild slog from Glenn Maxwell gone to hand a couple of balls later, New Zealand might have had some leverage.Even as the game slipped away, their commitment in the field remained impressive. Williamson almost ran out Aaron Finch with an elastic, sliding pick-up-and-throw from mid-off, while Mark Chapman performed a relay catch on the rope to deny Finch six after he had latched on to a Santner no-ball.Maxwell and Finch had taken Australia within range, needing just 30 from 32 balls, when a second, heavier shower swept through. With Duckworth-Lewis-Stern looming in the gloaming, most of the crowd had disappeared disappointed into the night when the umpires finally decided at around 10.40pm that no further play would be possible.It was always going to be a struggle to match the fireworks of Friday but New Zealand did get off to a rapid start through Martin Guptill and Colin Munro once again. A frenetic opening featured several boundaries, although timing the ball on a worn surface looked a little harder, and New Zealand had 48 on the board inside five overs when Billy Stanlake made the breakthrough, Guptill toe-ending a blow down the ground straight to Warner at mid-off.Munro was next to go, mistiming another big shot to the edge of the ring, and Australia began to make regular inroads. Williamson and Chapman managed a boundary apiece before falling in the space of three balls to Agar, who was the only bowler to deliver consecutive overs. Agar also removed the powerful Colin De Grandhomme, who was tempted to hit across the line to the longer boundary, and when Santner fell first ball pulling at AJ Tye, New Zealand had lost 6 for 45.With Warner changing things up relentlessly, Australia presented a moving target. Tim Seifert was flummoxed by a Marcus Stoinis yorker and Southee under-clubbed another boundary catch, but Sodhi at least managed to hang around alongside Taylor for a few overs to give the scorecard some respectability. New Zealand managed to save face, but saving the match was beyond them.

The Afghanistan legspinner is poised to smash the record currently held by Mitchell Starc by a huge margin

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Mar-2018Afghanistan legspinner Rashid Khan is on the verge of smashing the record for being the fastest to take 100 ODI wickets. Rashid has 99 wickets after 43 ODIs, following his 3 for 40 against Ireland in Harare on Friday, and is closing in on Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who took his 100th wicket in his 52nd ODI.If Afghanistan beat Ireland in their ongoing World Cup Qualifier fixture, Rashid, who is only 19 years old, will have the opportunity to break the record in the tournament final against West Indies on Sunday.Rashid’s rise to the top of the charts is remarkable because he was only the joint eighth quickest to 50 ODI wickets, which he reached in his 26th match. So in his next 17 ODIs, he has taken 46 wickets to get to 99.Rashid’s average of 14.12 per wicket and strike rate of 21.4 balls per wicket are the best among all bowlers who have delivered at least 1000 balls in ODIs. Given the fact that Afghanistan do not play top-flight opposition frequently, Rashid has 40 wickets against Zimbabwe and 33 against Ireland; his career-best figures of 7 for 18 came against West Indies in St Lucia in June 2017.

Sarfraz became the youngest cricketer to ever receive the award, with only four cricketers bestowed the honour in Pakistan’s cricket history

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Mar-2018Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed had a Pakistan Day to remember, as the 30-year old was awarded the Sitara-e-Imtiaz, the third-highest civilian honour in Pakistan, by Sindh Governor Mohammad Zubair.March 23 is known as Pakistan Day, and is a national holiday across the country, with widespread celebrations and awards of varying prestige handed out by civilian and military officials.Sarfraz became the youngest cricketer to ever receive the award, with only four cricketers bestowed the honour in Pakistan’s cricket history. They were Javed Miandad in 1992, Inzamam-ul-Haq in 2005, Mohammad Yousuf in 2011, and Saeed Ajmal in 2015.Sarfraz, who led Pakistan to their maiden Champions Trophy title last year after beating India in the final, told Geo.tv, “It is matter of great honour for me and my family. Whatever I am today is because of Pakistan and I will continue to serve my country in every capacity I am in.”Former Pakistan captains Misbah-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi were also nominated for the award this year.

Michelle Tredenick, a CA director since November 2015, also serves on the board of The Ethics Centre, the Sydney-based body selected by CA to conduct a far-reaching review into the organisation

Daniel Brettig02-May-2018Conflict of interest has forced a Cricket Australia (CA) Board director to be excused from an independent review into the culture of the organisation stemming from the Newlands ball-tampering scandal.Michelle Tredenick, a CA director since November 2015, also serves on the board of The Ethics Centre, the Sydney-based body selected by CA to conduct a far-reaching review into the organisation. Among its past work was a frank and critical review of the Australian Olympic Committee in 2017, resulting in numerous changes to the organisation.The Ethics Centre review is to be led by its executive director Simon Longstaff, who has worked alongside Tredenick on the centre’s board. A CA spokesperson confirmed that Tredenick had excused herself from any prior Board discussions relating to the choice of the independent body to conduct the review and the amount of money to be paid for it, and will not be involved in any related discussions until the review is complete. Findings are expected to be made public before the start of the Australian season.According to its terms of reference, the organisational review will “investigate whether any wider cultural, organisational and/or governance issues within CA, and more broadly within Australian cricket, should be addressed to ensure these events never occur again, either on tour or whilst playing in Australia. This review will investigate links between player behaviour (particularly on this tour of South Africa) and the organisational, governance and culture within CA and Australian cricket.”[The review will] consider whether any cultural, organisational and/or governance factors within the Australian Men’s Team, CA or Australian cricket may have contributed to these issues, either directly or indirectly; and recommend measures that CA and Australian cricket should consider to ensure that any issues are addressed and that these or similar events never occur again.”Tellingly, the terms also state that CA employees and others will be freed from corporate confidentiality clauses in order to speak fully and frankly in interviews.This review is running concurrently with another inquiry specifically into the culture of Australian teams, to be led by the former Test opening batsman Rick McCosker. That panel will also include the men’s Test captain Tim Paine, fast bowler Pat Cummins, last summer’s stand-in women’s international captain Rachael Haynes, Shane Watson (nominated by the Australian Cricketers Association), George Bailey and the incoming Australian coach – widely expected to be Justin Langer. Peter Collins, director of the Melbourne-based Centre for Ethical Leadership, will play a key role facilitating the teams’ review.Combined, the two reviews will be seeking to close the gap between the “target” and “actual” cultures of CA and its teams. The Ethics Centre review will seek interviews with “a range of personnel within and external to Australian cricket (CA and State and Territory Associations)”. After handing in findings it will then work with CA on plans for change.”We understand and share the disappointment of fans and the broader Australian community about these events,” CA chairman David Peever said. “The Board is determined to do all we can to prevent such events from ever happening again. We have full confidence that Simon and his team, along with Rick and the player panel, will be able to fully review and identify recommendations for improvement.”The ACA president, Greg Dyer, said that it was critical the reviews were undertaken with a high degree of transparency and independence.”Culture starts at the top and we welcome investigation in to all aspects of cricket’s culture, organisational structure and governance,” he said. “The ACA outlined proposed Terms of Reference earlier in April and it is pleasing that much of the detail has been adopted. There is a desire to see significant and lasting change aimed at improving cricket’s culture and governance, and the accountability of those who are responsible for running it.”Dyer also pointed out that the outcomes should be aligned to findings and recommendations from the concurrent examination of international player conduct flagged recently by the ICC chief executive Dave Richardson. “We are concerned that our players may be subject to conditions which could be different from those that apply to players from other countries against which they play,” Dyer said.”Changes to player behaviour, expectations or sanctions must be aligned with those which would be handed down to players on both sides of international cricket matches. These are fundamental matters which go the integrity and fairness of our game.”

Radlett basked contentedly in the May sunshine, but Paul Stirling ensured that there was mayhem on the field

ECB Reporters Network20-May-2018
ScorecardPaul Stirling equalled his highest score in the Royal London One-day Cup to set up a Middlesex victory as they overcame Kent by 70 runs at Radlett.The Ireland international hit a dazzling 125 from 115 deliveries, laying the foundations for his side to post 313 for 9 – and that proved beyond Kent’s reach.Steven Finn, Middlesex’c captain, reacted: “”Stirlo was excellent – the pace at which the ball was coming off his bat was ridiculous at times. We know he’s a world-class player in this format, he’s proved that on the world stage and we’ve seen him do that for us.”Despite a spirited knock of 90 from Heino Kuhn, Kent, who have begun the competition with successive defeats, were bowled out for 243 in the 44th over.For the second match running, Steven Finn won the toss, opted to take first knock and watched as his opening batsmen put together a 50-plus partnership.Stirling slammed Mitch Claydon for a string of boundaries, while Nick Gubbins looked particularly strong on the off side as he reached 23 before edging Matt Henry behind.With Darren Stevens bowling a nagging line, the scoring rate dipped and it took a full 11 overs for Stevie Eskinazi to find the boundary.However, he and Stirling applied themselves and shared a stand of 102 before Joe Denly brought himself on and immediately persuaded Eskinazi to drive to mid-on.But Eoin Morgan launched two towering sixes off Denly into the car park and kept Stirling company while he progressed to his ton from 99 balls.Stirling tore into Henry with a burst of 14 from three balls and then smashed a six off Stevens before punching his next delivery straight to mid-off.That triggered a middle-order wobble, with a further five wickets falling for just 37 runs, three of them to Calum Haggett, who put an untidy opening spell firmly behind him to finish with 3 for 59.But sensible batting by James Franklin ensured that the home side completed their 50 overs and he dispatched Henry’s last three balls for boundaries to lift the total to 313 for 9.Daniel Bell-Drummond and Zak Crawley made a blistering start to the Kent reply, capitalising on some wayward bowling to accumulate 39 in their first four overs.Radlett on a glorious May day•Getty Images

But Nathan Sowter’s brilliant diving catch at third man off Helm (4-49) removed Crawley and Denly followed for a duck, caught behind off the same bowler.Bell-Drummond’s immaculate timing and appetite to punish the loose ball took him to 44 from 45 deliveries before Franklin had him caught down the leg side.Kent lost two more quick wickets, but the watchful Kuhn continued to defy Middlesex and built solid partnerships with Adam Rouse and then Haggett.Haggett clobbered Hilton Cartwright for six, but Cartwright gained his revenge, throwing from mid-on to run him out on an overthrow with 84 still required.Kent’s lingering hopes rested on Kuhn, but the South African chopped on to give Helm his fourth wicket and Sowter finished Kent off soon afterwards with two wickets in three balls.

Saha, who hurt his thumb during the IPL, is likely to miss at least part of India’s five-Test series in England, with Karthik likely to replace him in the team

Nagraj Gollapudi15-Jul-2018Wriddhiman Saha is understood to not have fully recovered from his thumb injury and hence is likely to miss at least part of India’s five-Test series in England beginning in August. Saha, who hurt his left thumb while playing in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad, not only missed majority of the second leg of the tournament including the final but also the one-off Test against Afghanistan in June.Dinesh Karthik, who took Saha’s spot and kept wicket against Afghanistan, is likely to retain the spot. Karthik is already part of India’s limited-overs squad for the UK tour and should play as the wicketkeeper-batsman for the first Test starting at Edgbaston from August 1.

Rahane, Vijay to play against English Lions

Some of the India Test players who are expected to be part of the squad have already arrived in England this week. ESPNcricinfo understands vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane and opener M Vijay will feature in the India A match against England Lions, which begins at New Road (Worcester) from July 16.
Meanwhile, the England selectors have named a strong Lions XI, featuring six international players: Alastair Cook, Dawid Malan, Chris Woakes, Dom Bess, Jack Leach and Sam Curran, to take on India A.

While ruling out Saha for the Afghanistan Test, the BCCI had said that his recovery would take five-six weeks. The Afghanistan Test started on June 14, and by the BCCI estimate Saha would be fit by the end of July. Although the BCCI has not issued any fitness update on Saha, the selectors as well as the India team management will want him to not just test his fitness but also his match-readiness.The only chance Saha would have had to do that would come during the four-day warm-up match against Essex, which starts on July 25 in Chelmsford. In all probability, Karthik will test himself in that game, which is likely to feature all the Test specialists.It is not clear who would be the back-up keeper for Karthik in case Saha is ruled out. If Saha does recover and misses only a match or two, then he could even come in as the reserve keeper. Otherwise that spot is likely to go to Parthiv Patel, who played in the Test series earlier this year in South Africa.India started their UK tour with the limited-overs series against Ireland and England, the last game of which, the final ODI, will be played in Leeds on July 17. It is understood that the BCCI will announce the India Test squad after ODI series against England.

The 36-year-old is enjoying an outstanding domestic season and England’s middle-order remains fragile

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Aug-2018A prolific season with Warwickshire and Birmingham Bears has renewed Ian Bell’s hunger for the game to the extent that he has entertained the possibility of reviving his England career.Bell, 36, played the last of his 118 Tests against Pakistan in late 2015, but this season is averaging 55.41 in the County Championship and is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the Vitality Blast with 471 runs at a strike-rate of 144.92 a year after he stood down from the Warwickshire captaincy.Early in Ed Smith’s tenure as national selector there has been a clear push for youth in the Test side with Ollie Pope to make his debut against India at Lord’s following the call-ups of Sam Curran and Dom Bess, but England’s middle-order remains far from settled”The questions have started to come a little bit more now, with the form I’ve had through the season and obviously England’s middle order,” he told .”If you asked me that question now I would definitely want to play again. If you’d asked me that 12 months ago, it would have been a different answer.”Whether it is with Warwickshire, Birmingham Bears or England, I just still want to be winning games of cricket.”ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Bell admitted he went through some tough times last year and struggled to adjust to life outside the England team where he had been a fixture since returning to the side during the 2009 Ashes until being axed ahead of the South Africa tour in 2015-16.”Last year, I wasn’t in a particularly good place,” said Bell. “I’d struggled with the batting and there were some massive questions in my own mind as to whether it was time to retire and I did ask myself those questions.”It’s been quite a tough adjustment not being an England player any more. But I felt even when I finished with England that I had a lot of cricket left under my belt. I spoke to a lot of ex-players and they all said ‘you’re a long time retired, don’t look back with any regrets’.”

The victory put Worcestershire within sight of the quarter-finals but dented Derbyshire’s hopes of progressing

ECB Reporters Network09-Aug-2018
ScorecardWorcestershire Rapids regained top spot in the Vitality Blast North Group as they overcame Derbyshire Falcons by 16 runs in a low-scoring and tense affair at New Road.Joe Clarke’s superb 76 held the Rapids innings together with fellow opener Wayne Parnell the only other player into double figures in a total of 137 for 8.But the home bowlers held their nerve to seal the victory that enabled the Rapids to leapfrog over Durham Jets into pole position as the Falcons closed on 121 for 7.It was their fourth successive win either side of a wash-out and put them on the brink of a quarter-final spot. But defeat was a big blow to the Falcons hopes of reaching the last eight.The Rapids opted to bat first and their innings was dominated by Clarke. The Derbyshire attack produced a disciplined performance with Hardus Viljoen, Wahab Riaz and Ravi Rampaul all impressing.Clarke immediately looked in good nick, turning Wayne Madsen off his legs and through mid-wicket for boundaries in the opening over.Parnell, who was promoted in the absence of Moeen Ali on England duty, was caught by keeper Gary Wilson off a skier from the bowling of Rampaul.Callum Ferguson, who this week committed to becoming Worcestershire’s main overseas player in 2019, made only 9 before he was trapped lbw by Viljoen. The next ball accounted for Brett D’Oliveira who played Viljoen to mid-on and was run out by Madsen’s direct hit at the non-striker’s end.Clarke completed his second half-century of the Blast campaign from 36 deliveries with a flick off his legs for four off Lockie Ferguson. The England Lions player survived a difficult chance when on 67 against Wahab with Viljoen failing to cling onto the low chance at long off.Ben Cox pulled Wahab straight to midwicket and Ross Whiteley attempted to flick Rampaul over backward point and hit the ball straight to Viljoen.Clarke’s knock ended when he played a ramp shot against Viljoen and Ferguson held onto the chance running back to third man.The wickets continued to tumble with Ed Barnard bowled by Viljoen’s next delivery and Daryl Mitchell yorked by Wahab.The Rapids needed to make early inroads – and on loan Nottinghamshire paceman Luke Wood trapped Ben Slater lbw in the first over. It set the tone for the remainder of the Powerplay.Wahab drilled Parnell to D’Oliveira at mid-off and then Barnard broke through in successive overs. Calum MacLeod was stumped and Madsen cut straight to George Rhodes at point with the total 28 for 4 in the seventh over.The Falcons needed to rebuild and Billy Godleman and Wilson responded in positive fashion during a partnership of 53 in eight overs. Godleman batted sensibly in making a run-a-ball 38 but then holed out to Barnard at deep midwicket to give Wood his second wicket.Pat Brown then returned to the attack to bowl Wilson for 35. He claimed his 22nd victim of the season in the final over by dismissing Matt Critchley and set a new county record for a campaign, overhauling the 21 by Saeed Ajmal in 2015.
