The Sandpaper gate scandal has once again grabbed the spotlight after Cameron Bancroft has hinted that even the Australian bowlers knew about the altered condition of the ball, and Michael Vaughan has expressed his thoughts regarding the matter. And finally, Ian Bishop has opined that England pacer Jofra Archer brings high-class skill to the game of cricket.

2. Mohammed Azharuddin feels that WV Raman has a sharp cricketing brain

WV Raman‘s knowledge of the game and coaching skills can be very useful for many. There are very few sharper brains than him and he has many years of experience. Hyderabad cricket association will do its best to engage him and draw immense benefit. @wvraman #WVRaman
