'Take a look in the mirror' Mickey Arthur tells Umar Akmal to after statement

Mickey Arthur has responded to the allegations made against him by Umar Akmal. Mickey Arthur has urged Umar Akmal to take a look back at his own behavior before claiming the former manager has retired.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/mickey-arthur-15_06_2022.jpg">The former coach responded to the tweet by renowned Pakistani sports journalist Aalia Rasheed, who cited Umar's allegations. 

"Mickey Arthur ruined my career. The selection committee at the time and the local coaches didn't support me," Aalia quoted Umar as saying in her tweet.The South African-born coach, who is one of cricket's most respected thinkers, had an awkward relationship with the Akmal brothers. After leaving his role in 2019, Arthur had revealed the reasons behind the sour relationships in several interviews. 

Arthur said that <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/147/umar-akmal">Umar Akmal </a>is quite arrogant and doesn't like to improve his fitness, the same problem he had with his brother Kamran. 

“I found him arrogant in the academy incident. He went to our fitness trainer, Grant Luden, and asked him about his fitness regimen, even though he's had six to seven of them in the past," Mickey had previously told Arthur in 2020."He then goes to<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/82838/grant-flower"> Grant Flower</a> and asks 'Can I have a hit?' which I thought was incredibly arrogant," Arthur added on BSports Pakistan's official YouTube channel. 

"There I told him, let's go and talk. I told him that before you come to the academy to use our facilities, you need to sort things out first, including improving fitness and grading runs. I might have used a few stronger words, but that should shock him into some sort of action," the former coach had explained."If Pakistan picked him again I would be very surprised and it would be a very bad decision," Arthur had said. 

Akmal's charge against Arthur was that the manager was abusive, but in a new interview he has claimed Arthur destroyed his career. 

When Arthur read the accusation on Twitter, he responded with harsh words, asking Umar to hold the mirror up to his face, indicating that it was the cricketer himself who brought about his own downfall.

Mickey Arthur's "unprofessional" behavior is accused by Umar Akmal for destroying his career

"Mickey Arthur had personal issues with me at the time, but the team management at the time didn't say anything and they're still silent today." Mickey Arthur, on the other hand, later admitted to using offensive remarks against me."<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/umar-akmal-15_06_2022.jpg"><a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/147/umar-akmal">Umar Akmal </a>has criticized former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur for ruining his career, claiming Arthur was an unprofessional head coach."Mickey Arthur had personal issues with me, but the team management at the time didn't speak out for me and they remain silent even to this day. However, Mickey Arthur later admitted that he used harsh words against me.” 

The right-handed batter also accused the former head coach of abusing him at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, where the incident was witnessed by former captain Inzamam-ul Haq and former leg spinner Mushtaq Ahmed.Umar Akmal revealed in an interview that he was one of the players who refused to take big payments in T20 leagues just for national engagement. 

"I am one of the few Pakistani cricketers who have turned down lucrative T20 league contracts in exchange for involvement in local cricket." 

In response to a question, Akmal said Imran Khan had asked Waqar Younis to send him to the 2016 Cricket World Cup 3rd pitch. I will be sent to the 3rd pitch.” IK had asked Waqar Younis, the coach, why Umar wasn't in the top beat order. "I was just curious about IK's experience against India," he explained. 

It is worth mentioning that Umar Akmal was punished by the team management for apparently complaining to former captain Imran Khan about being moved up the batting order.

Babar Azam will become a legend in white ball cricket, says Ian Bishop

West Indian cricketer-turned-commentator Ian Bishop has praised Pakistan captain Babar Azam, claiming he will be the greatest white-ball cricketer of all time, particularly in the 50-over format.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/babar-azam-legend-14_06_2022.jpg">"<a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/43371/babar-azam">Babar Azam</a> is on his way to greatness," Bishop said, “And I want to be clear when I say I'm on my way there, at least in white ball cricket and certainly in 50-overs cricket.“Because I don't use the term great loosely. I think I discussed this with some of my colleagues 24 hours ago, it needs to be a larger sample size but average as it stands now on the verge of 60 to 17 ODI hundreds. 

"He has almost overtaken his neighbor, the great Virat Kohli, as the ultimate over-50 batsman," he added.The former pacesetter went on to say that he sees Babar as one of the greatest cricketers of the future and hopes he will improve his red ball skills as he is a superb player technically and in character. 

"So I hope that in Test cricket he will be mentioned in the same breath as the top 3 or 4, but as a white ball player and particularly in ODIs, technically excellent, spirited and aesthetically the most appealing batsman in the world today." 

Babar hasn't been particularly impressive at Tests, but it's clear he's improved his longer format skills as one of his innings was named the best batting performance of the 2021-2023 ICC World Test Championship.Bishop also appreciated his covers and straight drives and said he always notices other commenters taking to social media to praise Babar every time he plays. 

"Whenever he comes out to hit, I have a few fellow commentators and I just look for their tweets on social media when he's playing a cover drive or a straight drive. That says a lot when people who've played the game show up to watch you hit," he concluded.

Babar Azam wants to win the next two World Cups for Pakistan

No doubt enjoying my form but with this form my number one goal is to win the two World Cups for Pakistan in the next year and a half and when that happens I will feel like my runs are worth their weight in gold."<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/babar-azam-14_06_2022.jpg"> Babar became captain in 2019 and is leading the team to new heights. Pakistan defeated Australia in an ODI series, reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup and overtook India in the ICC-ODI rankings for the first time since 2007.The 27-year-old went on to reveal that his childhood dream was to represent Pakistan in international cricket and help his team win all the titles. 

"When I started cricket as a schoolboy, my goal of playing cricket internationally for Pakistan was to become the best batsman in the world so that it will help my team win all the titles."His father Azam Siddique has always been his biggest fan and crucial support. 

"I was obsessed with cricket growing up and found my father supporting me with that passion," Azam recalls. 

His grassroots career to the top included acting as a ball boy during a Pakistan-South Africa test in Lahore in 2007 when Azam's dream came true upon seeing his idol AB de Villiers up close.When asked about the difficulties he faces as captain, he said: “I want to take on the challenge because I'm at the top. My team only follows me when I’m ahead, and that’s the same with run scoring.” 

The ODI No. 1 batsman explained that his performance was crucial because if he did well the other players would try to deliver as well. He explained that as captain he is constantly working to improve his finishing ability.

Sunil Gavaskar give a Compliment, Umran Malik is the second Indian player I'm looking to see after Sachin Tendulkar

Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar praised Indian fast bowling sensation Umran Malik and said the last time he was so excited to see an Indian player like Malik was for Sachin Tendulkar. Gavaskar also reckons the Pacer should play for India in the upcoming T20I game against South Africa at Vizag.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/umran-malik-14_06_2022.jpg"><a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/104934/umran-malik">Umran Malik</a> could make his India debut in the third T20I against South Africa to be played in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. Beating Bhuvneshwar Kumar, no other Indian bowler - Sear or Spinner - has really affected the two games so far, which India lost both by failing to defend totals of 211 and 148.This could pave the way for Malik's debut, with the speedster showing off his wicket-take factor during the 2022 IPL. The Sunrisers Hyderabad paceman grabbed 22 wickets during the season, including a memorable five-wicket move against the Gujarat Titans.While Gavaskar believes Malik needs to start at Vizag, he feels it will depend on what type of wicket is offered and also the fact that the team may not be ready with their XI for a must-win game to experiment. The 72-year-old reckons India currently has no wicket bowlers on the team other than seaman Bhuvneshwar Kumar and leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. 

“The last time I was really excited to see an Indian player was Sachin Tendulkar. And after that, I'm looking forward to seeing Umran Malik," Gavaskar said.You need a wicket bowler and Umran Malik is one: Sunil Gavaskar 
Gavaskar believes that in the two T20I games against South Africa in the current series no one but Kumar looked set to win wickets and that was the main reason India failed to defend their goal of 212 in the first T20I. 

"I think he should play but again they could say we should win the third and put ourselves in a situation and then maybe they can think about experimenting," the former India batsman told Star Sports. 

South Africa won the first game after chasing 212 with seven wickets in hand thanks to David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen with their unbeaten fourth wicket partnership of 131. South Africa won the second game by four wickets and ten balls. They were chasing a 149 goal, which took them one win away from winning the five-match streak. India, who need three straight wins to clinch the series, could change their style of play in search of a winning team.“Arshdeep and Umran, you want to see them act at some point in the series. They want to choose their squad for the World Cup in October, so I think they need an opportunity. They need a wicket bowler and Umran Malik is a wicket taker...we know that," Gavaskar said.

Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. 

South Africa have been brilliant and are just one win away from sealing a win in the T20I Series. Players like Kagiso Rabada and Rassie van der Dussen have been sensational and improved greatly to give the Proteas a 2-0 lead in the five-game series. However, they meet a strong Indian side who deserve a great performance. With a balanced squad, India will calculate their chances of victory in another thrilling game between the sides.<h2>3rd T20I Preview 
</h2>India and South Africa have played 2 matches in the series with South Africa winning all matches played so far. 

Both teams last played in the 2nd Semifinals of ICC World Twenty20, 2014 where Virat Kohli scored the highest fantasy score for India with 93 match fantasy points while Faf du Plessis scored the highest fantasy score with 95 match fantasy points Leaderboard for South Africa top points.

Heinrich Klaasen added 81 runs while Bavuma scored 35. Bhuvneshwar Kumar selected 4 gates for India.India are on the back foot and need to win all remaining games to win this series from here. On the other hand, South Africa were hoping to continue their excellent run and picked up another win to seal the streak. Another electrifying contest between these two sides is expected here in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday.<h2>Weather Report</h2>The temperature on match day is expected to be around 31°C, with 80% humidity and 13 km/h wind speed. There is no chance of precipitation during the game.<h2>Pitch Report&nbsp; 
</h2>A competitive stretch awaits the two sides with some offers of help for batsmen and bowlers. The new ball should do something for the pacemakers who will be crucial in the power play phase. As the game progresses, the playing field can slow down a touch and bring the spinners into play. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with both teams likely preferring to chase after winning the toss.<h2>Toss Prediction</h2>The team that wins the toss will want to catch first. Both games so far have been won by the chasing team and we believe the wicket at Vishakhapatnam could force the teams to continue in the same direction.<h2>Head to Head 
</h2>In the 17 games between these two teams, India has won 9 games and South Africa has won 8 games.

He has hammered 110 runs in this series so far. 

Shreyas Iyer is a right-handed batsman from India. He has smashed 76 runs in this series so far. 

Rassie van der Dussen may become South Africa's third-game batsman in the likely absence of Quinton de Kock. The right-hander averages over 40 in the format, indicating its effectiveness in the top order. With van der Dussen in decent form he can be backed up for another good performance.Rishabh Pant was not at his best in the series and failed to get going in the middle overs. However, the southpaw is one of the most destructive racquets in the world, with his ability against spin being remarkable. With the Indian captain in line for a big goal, he's one to watch out for in this game. 

Heinrich Klaasen is a right-handed batsman from South Africa. He stacked 81 runs in the last game.Hardik Pandaya
Despite not being good enough with the racquet in the second game, Pandya is a confident player who has been in good form. He has 40 runs in two innings with a strike rate of 166.66. 

Dwaine Pretorius
The Proteas all-rounder was great with the bat in the first game, with a 29 Quickfire knock. In two games he has 33 runs and two wickets to his credit.Kagiso Rabada has picked up just one wicket in the series, his economy rate is an impressive 6.25.

<h2>Australia 
</h2>Aaron Finch, David Warner, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey, Kane Richardson, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Swepson.<h2>Top Picks For Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips</h2>David Warner last played an ODI in 2020 in which he hit consecutive fifties (83 &amp; 69). Despite this, he is a great player and looked very good in the T20I series as he scored 130 runs in 3 games. For context, in his only ODI at this venue, which he played in 2016, he had scored a century (106 runs in 126 balls) so has happy memories here.Charith Asalanka has played 11 ODIs in his career but in those he managed to hit 472 runs including 5 fifties and has done really well with that. Speaking of the venue's record, he's scored 52, 23 and 71 runs in his 3 ODIs here respectively.Steven Smith has done well against Sri Lanka lately as the scores in his last 4 ODIs against them have been 73, 30, 58 and 72. In addition, he has totaled 536 runs in his last 10 ODI innings in Asian conditions, including 5 fifties and a century.Sri Lankan star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga took a beating during the T20I series, but he also scalped vital wickets at crucial points. With the pitch likely to help the slow bowlers, hasaranga can become a deadly weapon for the home side.Josh Hazlewood has won 6 weeks in 3 matches in the recent T20I series so looks in a good rhythm. In terms of his recent performances in ODIs, he has won 2, 3, 1, 2 and 3 wickets respectively in his last 5 games.Chamika Karunaratne has only been wicketless once in his last 7 ODIs (taken a total of 9 weeks). He has a batting average of 38 in ODIs, allowing him to rack up fantasy points with the bat as well. On his 3 ODIs at this venue his runs made/weeks won are 30/1, 34/1 &amp; 5*/3 which are great numbers.Glenn Maxwell has run 59, 63*, 45 &amp; 108 in his last 4 ODIs so is in great shape. Speaking of bowling, Pallekele is a spot suited to spinners and SL also has plenty of left-handers in its batting lineup and this could prove to be beneficial for Maxwell.

While everyone leaked runs in their spell, Avesh Khan gave away just 35 runs even after conceding 15 runs in his first over. While Speaking on Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir said, "This bowler has a lot of talent, he has pace, a big heart to bowl the difficult overs. But I will want to see him improve further in every match. He is a young bowler, only the IPL should not be his goal, the T20 World Cup is coming ahead." 

"It is a good thing if one player pushes the other, then you can bring out a better performance from the other player, which you want. Your squad is a good one when every player is pushed, the other player comes and pushes you and Mohsin Khan did that exceptionally well," he added.
