Wadekar, who had led India to its first victory in West Indies and England in 1971, had passed away at a South Mumbai hospital after prolonged illness.

Speaking to Marca, Higuain said: “It’s a question like [Iker] Casillas or [Gianluigi] Buffon. It’s not difficult, it’s easy to answer.

Spin-bowling great Shane Warne was among the former players who questioned decision to include wicketkeeper Tim Paine, while the inclusion of veteran batsman Shaun Marsh also raised a few eyebrows. Speaking in Brisbane, where the series gets underway at the Gabba on Thursday, Lehmann justified the selections and called for the whole country to support the team. “Everyone is entitled to their opinion, aren’t they?” he said. “I’d just like all our players, ex-players, to be really positive about the Australian cricket team....

India started its campaign as unfancied underdogs in the tournament. It was undoubtedly one of international cricket’s biggest moments when the seemingly invincible and two-time champions West Indies were dethroned by Kapil Dev’s men. The competition was against the cream of international cricket of that era- Sir Vivian Richards- undoubtedly one of the finest batsman in world cricket, the menacing pacemen in Joel Garner, Malcolm Marshall and Deniss Lillee, the elegant Ian Botham and Pakistan’s run machine, Javed Miandad....

Google announced Crayta with a short trailer during the Stadia Connect presentation that showcased the creation tools in action. Crayta encourages players to collaborate with others to bring their creations to life, and it seems as though they will only be limited by their imaginations.
