Shane Watson hints at T20 international retirement after World T20


Australian all-rounder Shane Watson will consider on his international cricket future at the end of the ICC World T20 being held in India.

The 34-year-old admitted that he was "pleasantly surprised" when he was selected for T20I side to take on India in January after he was overlooked for the five-match ODI series. 

"There's no doubt I'll have a bit of time to think about it (international retirement) after the T20 World Cup. I'll reassess from there," he told cricket.com.au on Wednesday. 


But for now, the world No. 1 all-rounder in Twenty 20 International has a bright opportunity ahead by winning the World T20 trophy that has eluded Australia. 

"There's no doubt to win the T20 World Cup, we came very close in 2010 making the final, so that certainly would be an incredible thing to be a part of," he added. 

"At this point in time I'm still just living the dream with the cricket that I'm able to play and the teams I'm able to play in. 

I'm not sure where that's going to take me in the short term. At the moment I'm loving the opportunity of being back in the Australian squad and hopefully we can win the T20 World Cup."

Yuzvendra Chahal's cryptic post sparks buzz amid divorce rumours

Indian cricket fans were left in shock and speculation as the Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal known for his on-field antics and social media charm, shared a mysterious post amid swirling rumours about his marriage to choreographer and YouTuber Dhanashree Verma. The couple, who got married in December 2020, now find themselves under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Yuzi and Dhanashree: Trouble in Paradise? Fans first sensed trouble when both Chahal and Dhanashree unfollowed each other on Instagram—a move that has often spelled doom for celebrity relationships. In a more dramatic twist, Chahal went a step further and deleted all his photos with Dhanashree from his profile. While Dhanashree still has a few pictures with the cricketer on her account, her decision to unfollow him added fuel to the fire. Reports suggest that the couple has been living separately for the past three months, with whispers of irreconcilable differences growing louder. Though neither Chahal nor Dhanashree...

IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals to Welcome Rahul Dravid as New Head Coach

Rahul Dravid prepares to take on the head coach role for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 season.  The 52-year-old, who recently coached India to their T20 World Cup triumph in 2024, is set to return to the Royals, a team he captained in 2012 and 2013 and mentored until 2015. Dravid's connection with the Royals runs deep. His leadership during his playing days and subsequent mentorship laid a strong foundation for the franchise.

Punjab Kings step up to acquire Ricky Ponting for IPL 2025

Ricky Ponting is reportedly close to signing a deal with Punjab Kings ahead of IPL 2025, as per Cricbuzz. Having recently parted ways with Delhi Capitals, where he served as head coach for seven seasons, Ponting is expected to bring a wealth of experience and tactical expertise to Punjab. During his tenure with Delhi, Ponting guided the franchise to three consecutive playoff appearances from 2019 to 2021, including their first-ever IPL final in 2020.  However, recent struggles led to his departure earlier this year. Punjab Kings, eager to revamp their team after several lacklustre seasons, are eyeing Ponting as the potential game-changer they need. Punjab Kings, who are yet to claim an IPL title since their debut in 2008, last came close in 2014 as runners-up. With Ponting’s proven track record, fans are hopeful that his leadership could finally steer the franchise towards their maiden trophy.  Though official announcements are awaited, Ponting’s arrival could be pivotal for P...
