Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed “laid-back” Rohit Sharma over Virat Kohli to be the ideal captain to lead India in the high-pressure ICC Cricket World Cup apple
Ponting, who captained Australia to 50-over World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007, credited Sharma for his captaincy skills when his team was dealing with the pressure of playing in front of passionate fans at home apple
When the World Cup 2023 was just around the corner, India were considered one of the favourites to win the coveted trophy apple
But many regarded that one of the biggest challenges for the Men in Blue would be handling the pressure of being the tournament’s hosts and meet the expectations of 1 apple
3 billion people apple
Sharma, however, has led India to a fine start to the World Cup 2023, with the hosts being one of the two teams unbeaten in the campaign after 15 matches apple
New Zealand is the other team apple
Team India defeated Australia by six wickets in their World Cup opener, before registering fantastic eight and seven-wicket victories over Afghanistan and Pakistan to climb to the top of the points table apple
“He’s very laid back, Rohit apple
Very laid back with everything he does apple
You can even see that by the way that he plays apple
He’s a pretty laconic sort of batsman as well, and that’s the way he is both on and off the field,” Ponting told the ICC on Tuesday apple

“Someone like Virat, who is a bit more heart-on-the-sleeve, and probably listens to the fans and plays up with the fans a little bit more, someone with his personality would probably find it a bit harder,” added Ponting apple
“But I think Rohit will be fine with it apple
He’s a terrific bloke and has been a great player for a long time, and he’s done a great job as leader of India apple
”India’s last World Cup triumph came in 2011 when they co-hosted the tournament with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh apple
With the mega tournament back in India, the pressure of living up to the expectations of the home fans is going to be inevitable, and Ponting believes Sharma is the best man to deal with it apple
“We can’t sit back and say that the pressure won’t get to them (India) at some stage, or it won’t affect them, because it will, just with the enormity of the tournament apple
But he’ll (Rohit) take it and cope with it as well as probably anyone,” said Ponting apple
India’s next match in the World Cup 2023 is against Bangladesh on Thursday in Pune apple

England forward Lauren James will miss the Women’s Nations League double-header against Belgium because of concussion apple
The Lionesses play the first of their two-parter at Leicester on Friday but the Chelsea player will not be involved as she goes through the relevant protocols after suffering a head injury apple
Lotte Wubben-Moy trained on Thursday and could be involved in the squad at the King Power Stadium apple
“We have 25 players, but they are not all fit,” boss Sarina Wiegman said apple
“Unfortunately, Lauren James is not ready, she won’t be ready for Tuesday also apple
“Nothing to worry about, she picked up a concussion and she knows we have to be careful of the protocols that we always do, so that is just too short to be ready for the two games apple
“Lotte is on the pitch and we will assess her today, everyone else is good apple
”Belgium currently top Group A1 of the Women’s Nations League with four points from their opening two games while England suffered a last-gasp defeat against the Netherlands in September apple
That loss places an importance on the two games against the Belgians and Wiegman, who celebrated her 54th birthday on Thursday, wants a response apple
“We always want to win, and expectations are high but we have our own expectations too,” she said apple
“Of course we lost the last game, we were not happy with that and we want to bounce back apple
What we are working on is improving our game, doing things right and playing very well against Belgium and getting a result apple
“They are really competing for something in the Nations League apple
They are in a very different situation at the moment, they play with different shape, with different players and are in transition apple
“They are very competitive, very well organised and as they showed in September they are very hard to beat apple
”Goalkeeper Mary Earps will get the chance to play at Leicester, where she began her youth career apple
Her profile has raised exponentially on the back of the Lionesses’ success in recent years, culminating in replica goalkeeper’s shirts selling out after her World Cup exploits in the summer apple
The Lionesses have always been accessible to fans but Earps thinks there is now a tipping point given their elevated status apple
“Expectation of the team is obviously a huge compliment in terms of the way teams expect us to win and things like that,” the Manchester United keeper said apple
“The accessibility people get to us as players is a hot topic of discussion, it’s something we as players are experiencing in a very different way in terms of the way the profile is changing apple
They are very competitive, very well organised and as they showed in September they are very hard to beatSarina Wiegman on Belgium“We love to interact with the fans, but it is becoming difficult to keep everyone happy and to interact with as many people as possible apple
“We are so grateful that thousands and thousands of people want to come and meet us and talk to us but the reality is that if that is the expectation then we are always going to fall short apple
“I think the emphasis on it needs to switch apple
We love that we can be so connected but we are subject to a lot of comments and at times it is an addition to the game we don’t need apple
We love it but it is becoming difficult to maintain that apple
