Michael Clarke will miss UAE ODIs against Pakistan


Australia Skipper Michael Clarke has been missed out of the ODI Series against Pakistan in the UAE and he is also doubt full for Tests than follow. Michael Clarke flew home from the Tri- Series in Zimbabwe. Due to Hamstring Injury 

 If Clarke were to fail to spot the two-Test series it would be a major blow for Australia, given his ability in spinning conditions and the struggles the rest of Australia's batsmen have displayed on the same surfaces. Kountouris said a conclusion on Clarke would not be made until closer to the first Test, which begins in Dubai on October 22, after a four-day warm-up match in Sharjah.

Australia's series against Pakistan begins with a Twenty20 international on October 5 in Dubai, followed by three ODIs in Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. George Bailey is expected to skipper the ODIside in Clarke's absence.

India look to clean Sweep at Leeds



India and England face for the final of the five-match ODI series at Leeds, it would be exciting to see whether the 'men in blue' decide to go for the kill or give chance to some of the fringe players.
ODI series already in their pocket, a rampaging India would look to keep the foot on the pedal and press for a clean sweep on Friday. But one thing which the Indian think-tanks might take into concern is giving a look-in to talented youngsters Sanju Samson and Karn Sharma yet been able to occupy a place in the playing eleven.

wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson made his way into the squad following an remarkable outing in the quadrangular one-day series in Australia, also awaits his turn to showcase his talent while Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner Karn Sharma may just be fancying his chance in the XI as India take field in the final ODI.

Medium-pacer Umesh Yadav has had a start-and-stop career in his 31 ODIs and 9 Test matches for Team India, is one more player to come in the queue to be part of the Indian squad soon.
