Amit Mishra, Vinay Kumar and Monty Panesar have also confirmed for the inaugural season in Goa.

Responding to Steve Smith's comments, Monty Panesar said that his performance in the quiz show 'Mastermind' was shocking, but it was better than being a 'cheat'.

Australian cricket team stand-in skipper Steve Smith took a brutal dig at Monty Panesar after the former England spinner reignited the 'sandpaper' row ahead of Ashes 2025.

Former England cricketer Monty Panesar believes that India's ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia is crucial for veteran batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Shubman Gill was announced as Rohit Sharma's successor, and his first assignment will be the three ODIs in Australia, scheduled to begin on October 19.

Former England spinner Monty Panesar has cautioned India not to be nonchalant about facing a "dangerous" Pakistan unit, as the two teams gear up to clash in the Asia Cup 2025 final.

Panesar, who has often followed India-Pakistan encounters closely, said the Men in Blue hold the upper hand heading into their Asia Cup Super 4 clash against arch-rivals Pakistan.

Team India is all set for the upcoming Asia Cup, which is going to begin from September 9 in the UAE.

The omission of Shreyas Iyer from India's Asia Cup 2025 squad has been one of the biggest talking points in Indian cricket in recent weeks.

Joe Root, who made his Test debut in Australia in 2013, has played 14 matches in the country, scoring 892 runs at an average of 35.68.
