England captain Jos Buttler opens up on retirement plans ahead of ODI World Cup 2023 – Cricket Times
The excitement is building as the ODI World Cup 2023 is just around the corner, scheduled to commence on October 5. With expectations running high, especially for top-performing teams, defending champions England are gearing up for a thrilling campaign under the leadership of Jos Buttler. As the English side prepares for the tournament with warm-up matches, Buttler has offered insights into his retirement plans on the eve of their first World Cup warm-up game.
The English team, led by Buttler, will begin their title defense against New Zealand. Buttler faces the formidable task of continuing the legacy left by his predecessor, Eoin Morgan, who led the English troops to World Cup glory in 2019.
Before England’s first warm-up clash against hosts India, Buttler has opened up about his retirement plans. While expressing his desire to continue representing England, the wicketkeeper-batter hinted that he may consider moving on from One Day Internationals (ODIs) after the conclusion of the ODI World Cup 2023.
“Hopefully, I will be playing for England a while longer yet. I know Ive just ticked over to 33 but I dont feel that old. I dont think anything can quite replicate playing for your country. Its a huge honor you dont take for granted, but at the same time, Im pretty calm. Thats where Im at in my career. Im excited for whatever is left. I still feel there are areas I want to improve and get better as a player, which is a nice place to be because it gives you desire and motivation,” stated Buttler, as quoted by Mail Sport.
Buttler acknowledged that there are now more opportunities for him as a player, and he intends to carefully plan his future commitments and schedule. He emphasized the importance of finding the right balance between international cricket and other opportunities.
“Whatever happens will work itself out. The landscape has changed a bit, and there are more opportunities now. Its just a question of working out what fits for you moving forward and whats best,” added Buttler.

The ODI World Cup 2023, a cricketing extravaganza of global significance, is set to unfold its magic in the cricket-loving nation of India, commencing on October 5. As the host nation, India finds itself at the epicentre of the cricketing world, ready to embark on a quest for ODI World Cup glory. Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, often hailed as the “Hitman,” the Men in Blue will make their tournament debut on October 8, facing off against Australia at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. With high hopes and expectations riding on their shoulders, India aims to quench the cricket-crazy nation’s thirst for an ICC trophy, which has been lingering for a decade.
India’s Top-Ranked ODI Team
India enters the competition as the top-ranked ODI team globally, a testament to their prowess and consistency in the 50-over format. This top-ranking brings with it not only prestige but also the weight of expectations. The Indian cricket team, renowned for its rich history and passionate fan base, aspires to make history once again on their home turf.
Unexpected Choices: Yuvraj Singh’s Game Changers
As the anticipation builds and cricket enthusiasts speculate on who the key players might be for India, the 2011 World Cup hero, Yuvraj Singh, took everyone by surprise with his picks. Instead of opting for the more expected choices like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh unveiled a different set of game changers for Team India.
“Three game changers, definitely Jasprit Bumrah, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja; I believe he has that experience, aur teesra (and the third) I think Mohammed Siraj, the way he has been bowling early, So I think ye teen ladke (these three boys),” Yuvraj disclosed during an event hosted by the eminent cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle.
Jasprit Bumrah: The Spearhead of the Pace Attack
Jasprit Bumrah, often referred to as one of the finest fast bowlers in contemporary cricket, stands tall as the spearhead of India’s pace attack. His lethal yorkers and pinpoint accuracy have made him a force to reckon with in all formats of the game. With the ability to swing the ball both ways and deliver at crucial moments, Bumrah has been instrumental in India’s success in limited-overs cricket.
Ravindra Jadeja: The All-Rounder Extraordinaire
Ravindra Jadeja, the multifaceted all-rounder, possesses a skill set that can change the course of a game in an instant. With his left-arm spin, electrifying fielding, and explosive batting, Jadeja is a true asset to the Indian team. His experience and versatility make him a reliable choice for Yuvraj Singh as a game changer in the ODI World Cup.
Mohammed Siraj: The Emerging Pace Sensation
Mohammed Siraj, the emerging pace sensation, has been turning heads with his impressive performances, particularly in the early overs of a match. His ability to generate pace and extract movement from the wicket has made him a valuable addition to the Indian bowling attack. Yuvraj Singh’s faith in Siraj’s capabilities underscores the young fast bowler’s potential to be a game changer on the world stage.
Rohit Sharma: The Dependable Opener
While Yuvraj Singh’s choices raised eyebrows, Gautam Gambhir, another former cricketer and World Cup hero, had his own perspective on India’s match-winners. Gambhir, known for his gritty batting at the top of the order, emphasized the importance of Rohit Sharma in the ODI World Cup.
“Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Mohammad Siraj. Rohit Sharma isliye bhi kyuki wickets aapko aisi milne waali hai, jaha apko bahut achi batting wickets milegi aur Rohit Sharma jis tarike ki form mein hai, I am sure kaafi runs karenge (Rohit Sharma also because you are going to get such wickets, where you will get very good batting wickets and the kind of form Rohit Sharma is in, I am sure he will score a lot of runs),” Gambhir explained.
As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the commencement of the ODI World Cup 2023 in India, the spotlight is firmly on these game changers. Yuvraj Singh’s unconventional choices and Gautam Gambhir’s trust in Rohit Sharma reflect the diversity and depth of talent in the Indian cricket team. With the perfect blend of experienced campaigners and emerging stars, India’s journey in the tournament promises excitement, unpredictability, and, above all, the pursuit of cricketing glory.
In the quest for ODI World Cup supremacy, these players, handpicked by two cricketing legends, will be tasked with shouldering the hopes and dreams of a nation passionate about cricket. As the tournament unfolds, the cricketing world will witness their exploits and eagerly await the crowning of a new champion.
Will real Hardik Pandya please stand up? Guwahati Hotel makes hilarious goof-up – InsideSport
The Radisson Blu Guwahati is currently hosting the Indian cricket team while they are in town for a warm-up game vs England.Prior to the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the Radisson Blu hotel brand has made a hilarious mistake when sending check-in emails to the India delegation. This goof-up involves India vice-captain Hardik Pandya.
The Radisson Blu Guwahati is currently hosting the Indian cricket team while they are in town for a September 30 warm-up game vs England.
Radisson Blu sent a check-in email to the incorrect Hardik Pandya before the team was set to check into the opulent hotel on September 28. It turns out that the India all-rounder shares his name with Unacademy’s Senior Vice President of Design, who also received the check-in email on his behalf.
Unacademy staffer Hardik Pandya, not cricketer Hardik Pandya, uploaded a screenshot of the email that was delivered in error. In his tweet uploaded on X (previously Twitter), he stated, “I have no plans to fly to Guwahati tomorrow. Turns out it’s a room booked for @hardikpandya7 for the #ICCWorldCup warm-up match in Guwahati.
“You just doxed his location,” one person said. This is crazy. Another person questioned, “Did they mix up your emails? Pandya referred to the mix-up as a hotel fault.
On Saturday, September 30, India will play England in a pregame match in Guwahati, Assam.
After a 12-year absence, the Cricket World Cup is coming back to India. On October 8 in Chennai, India will play host to the tournament against the five-time defending champions, Australia. In the key World Cup match, it will meet Pakistan on October 14 in Ahmedabad, and on October 29, it will face England in Lucknow.
As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 approaches at home, India has been in excellent form, and the hosts won’t settle for anything less than a third CWC title in their trophy cabinet now that its main players have recovered from injuries and are prepared to compete.
In the run-up to the World Cup, India has all the checkmarks in their favor. Due to a great group of batters that expertly blend experience with swagger, they have one of the strongest batting line-ups in the game.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill form one of the best opening combinations in international cricket today. They are followed by a potent middle order that consists of KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, all-rounders Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya, as well as all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya. In addition to them, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav make up this top hitting trio.
The bowling unit has recently displayed unearthly feats, and they are vying for a domestic championship with a wonderful blend of all bowling techniques. Bumrah is in charge of the speed assault, which also comprises Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, and Shardul Thakur.

Ace Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu is disappointed that she could not realise her dream of an Asian Games medal as she suffered thigh muscle injury during the women’s 49kg event here on Saturday.

The Olympic silver medallist said she felt pain while warming up before the event started and despite her coach asking her to pull out, she continued as she wanted to win a medal for the country.
“When I was warming up before the snatch section, I felt pain on my thigh, I think deep sheathing hit me. They have put ice and some spray, and will see in India what kind of treatment we will do. I am having pain now also,” Chanu said after the event, where she finished fourth.
“It is pain in the glutes and the bones on the right side of the thigh,” she added.
An Asian Games medal is the only silverware missing from the Manipuri’s decorated cabinet. Chanu had finished ninth in the 2014 edition and was forced to miss the 2018 Games due to a back injury.
“I had trained hard but I could not bring the results because of this pain. I tried my best to win a medal for the country but could not. I am feeling bad.
“I could not take part in the 2018 Asian Games. It was my dream to win a medal in the Asian Games but it is not happening. Now, my target is to do well in the Paris Olympics.”
“Pain had started during snatch warm up. Sir (Vijay Sharma) asked me if I wanted to pull out because it may lead to serious injury. But I continued because I wanted to win a medal,” she added.
Chanu lifted 108kg in her first clean and jerk but increased the weight to 117kg with an eye on a medal.
“I was feeling pain but I pushed up the second attempt in clean and jerk to 117kg. If I had lifted 117kg I would have won a bronze medal.
“I passed just one lift (both in snatch, and clean and jerk). Had I done 86kg in snatch, I could have gone easier also.”
She said no treatment was given in between competitions.
“It is not allowed to give treatment during competition, so we put some tapes on the thigh and did the clean and jerk.”
