Shikhar Dhawan injured his shoulders while fielding in the last ODI against Australia and it was a freak accident while diving and these injuries does happen in the field and you cannot do anything about it and even Rohit Sharma dislocated his shoulders while fielding in the previous game and that too while diving for the ball, either they have to minimize taking risk in the field and under perform and with the competition they have now they need to be good in the field or someone will replace you.

The team management won't be much bothered. I hope that it is a minor injury. The selectors have called up Prithvi Shaw and Sanju Samson. These two players had performed well for India A, against the visiting New Zealand A team. But even then, it will be difficult for either Shaw or Samson to get an automatic slot in the playing XI. That is unless Rishabh Pant gets dropped.
Since KL Rahul put up an extra ordinary performance in the recent series against Australia then Pant ha lesser chance to get a spot inplaying XI and don't forget he also got injured on that series so I feel Samson will be given a chance to prove himself on oveseas condition.

I am quite skeptical about Nagarkoti. He has missed more than two years as a result of injury. At such an young age, if he is having trouble with injuries, then what will happen after a few years? The bowling coach is obviously going to ask him to change his action, which will result in a lack of pace. And if he loses his pace, then he may find it very difficult to remain competitive in the domestic circuit.
Every fast bowler who is bowling at that pace will have injures and so is the case with Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Brett Lee was having the same injuries even before getting selected in the Australian team, so you cannot completely write off Kamlesh Nagarkoti as he is undergoing good treatment to regain his fitness and he is just 20 years old and he does have a bright future for India.

Too many injuries happening to dhawan, not a good sign. Injuries have also hampered his performance as half of the time he is out of the match. Rahul got his oppertunity because he was injured and this might now become permanent after the world cup.
A good player getting wasted because of injuries.

At the most he may have clocked 150 kmph, as we can't expect a 17-year old to bowl any faster than this. I think 150 kmph was the fastest ever bowled by U-19 bowlers, such as Kamlesh Nagarkoti.
There is no doubt that Kamlesh Nagarkoti is the future as he impressed everyone during the U19 World Cup but he is injured most of the time and he missed almost 2 years due to injury and having multiple fractures in his back and i heard he is back after a long gap and started to bowl in the nets and hopefully he can bowl with the same ferocity as before and stay fit and if that happens he will be in the Indian team pretty soon.

But still, I regard Matheesha Pathirana as a future prospect for Sri Lanka, at a time when they are struggling to find a successor to Lasith Malinga.
Good to see new talents but he needs to improve his line and length, i saw a clip where he was accurate with his yorker but in his last game he was spraying the ball.

Currently in U19 world cup Pakistan is playing against West Indies. The Match is very interesting and evenly positioned.  Any team can win that match but WI has lost a lot more wickets, so i think Pakistan may win in the end.

Edit: Just saw the scorecard and happy to find another PK Win.  Smiley

Shikhar Dhawan out of NZ tour and team again
Damn. This is bad news. He is easily one of the best left-handed batsmen in the Indian team at present and I love his partnerships with Sharma as an opener. I do hope he recovers quickly and returns soon in the near future.

I thought Sharma might also take some rest after his injury, but he recovered quickly and scored a magnificent century. Lets see how Samson and Shaw perform.

Not many international game coming after NZ tour so its better for him to take rest and recover asap as IPL knocking the door.
Samson and Shaw already playing for India A in Newzealand. Shaw performed quite well in one match, Sanju is below average so far but Selectors wants to give some more chance to him or who knows if he sits out all the T-20 match.

Expected this though 150 is still a great speed. His bowling action seems weirder than Malinga's bowling action and observed that he gave a lot of runs and did not take many wickets at all. He needs to improve his lengths.

Japan are not into cricket that much as India is. Cricket is new for them and it is good to see new countries coming out and pushing themselves into this sport. So there is a big difference in both countries play levels.
This is good news. Am a big fan of some of their anime shows like DBZ, One piece, MHA etc and I would love to see them make a Cricket based anime since they already made a couple of sports related anime before.

Their is a Under 19 world cup going on and today their was a match of India vs Japan. Japan batting first was all out for just 41 runs and they batted for 22.5 overs. In reply to this score India won the match by 10 wickets and completed it in just 4.5 overs. Japan is a new team and long way to go before they can compete to the likes of such top teams.

Japan qualified for this tournament under very abnormal circumstances. Their last match during the ICC Under-19 East Asia-Pacific Regional Qualifier, was forfeited by the top ranking Papua New Guinea. PNG could not field a playing XI, as 11 out of the 14 squad members were suspended for shoplifting. Japan qualified to the U-19 World Cup as a result of this forfeiture. Anyway, this is good news for Japan. During the last decade or so, they were witnessing a steep slump in their rankings (as of now they are in #59 the ICC T20 rankings).

His bowling action is very similar to that of Lasith Malinga. And we all know that Malinga used to bowl in excess of 90 mph during his peak. This may be a bug, but according to some media sources the 17-year old Matheesha Pathirana bowled the fastest recorded ball ever bowled in international cricket - across all levels.
Another slinging bowling action from Sri Lanka and he is bowling yorkers at will and it is difficult to see the ball coming from an unusual position but the speed gun might not the correctly calibrated and so is the reason it was showing over 108 MPH. The ball was carrying and it took some time to reach the keeper, watch Shoaib Akhtar and Bret Lee bouncers and see the difference when they bowl at 155 KMH and how fast it reaches the keeper. Either way he is the future talent for Sri Lanka and hopefully he will take care of his fitness and play for the national team soon. 

The biggest challenge would be to stay out of injury. Because Malinga had a lot of issues with injury due to his bowling action and he had to cut down on his pace and run up. I hope that Pathirana stays free from injury, even if it requires that he needs to change his bowling action. BTW, it looks as if the speed gun got the reading wrong. I checked a few media sources, and all of them are saying the same.

^^ Judging from the video, i would say max 140 kmph, even if i am wrong. But its definitely not 170+ kmph or even 145+ KMPH.  Bowling at 150+ kmph is no joke in any means so can't digest whatever news are media reporting in this case.

Its a bug....

There was a mistake in estimating the bowling speed, as detailed here:

https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/under-19-world-cup-sri-lanka-matheesha-pathirana-175kph-fastest-delivery-1638470-2020-01-20

Amazing Bowling ICC Under 19 World Cup 2020 Sri-Lankan U19 Pacer Matheesha Pathirana stunning 175 KPH Speed Bowling in U19 CWC match against India on a wide Ball.
Good Luck upcoming Future Speed star Matheesha Parthirana

He's a medium pacer so it might be a bug on speedometer or call it Matrix glitch. please don't forget highest record is around 160 ish kph, by Shoaib Akhtar. clocking 108 mph is no joke, if any case he actually did that then more power to young boy.

Here is the video in case anyone missed the action:
