Cricket News sort by Manoj Kumar Tiwary

The Indian team may be struggling when it comes to performing in Australia, but the A team is definitely making it a habit of impressing whenever it tours the nation, especially in recent times.

Bengal Skipper Manoj Tiwary has claimed that he has regained his fitness and is available for selection in the Indian team for the last two ODIs against England. The 27-year-old Tiwary had injured his back during a Ranji Trophy match recently.

AT Rayudu has earned his maiden call in the Indian team after he was named as the replacement for the injured Manoj Tiwary. This is a second setback for the stylish Tiwary who suffered from a wrist injury last season.

The three-day game between India A and England played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai ended in an expected draw. But it was a draw the visiting side more than the hosts would be pleased with.

Even as all eyes were on Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina as they looked to stake claim for the number six position for the Tests against England, one man, not for the first time, and possibly not the last, reminded the Indian selectors that he too is around and should be considered.

India A pulled off an impressive show on Day 1 of their 3-day match against the visiting England team by piling up 369 for 9 in 90 overs.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 20 runs in a tight contest at Pallekele to finish the 5-match series 4-1. With this series win, India has now gone up to N0.2 in the ICC ODI ratings just behind Australia.

India eased to a 6-wicket win with as many as 46 balls to spare in the 4th ODI at Colombo. With this effort, India has captured the Series as well with an unassailable lead of 3-1 with one more match to come.
