Cementing a national spot The selectors had no choice but to give Kohli another go in the Indian side, and this time he strung together a number of impressive scores. The young prodigy, barely old enough to receive his man-of-the-match champagne, ended the tournament with 398 runs from 7 outings with two centuries and two fifties, ensuring that he remained fresh in the selectors' minds. He added 'big-match temperament' to his résumé too, lacing a fluent hundred in the final against South Africa, and guiding his team to a clinical victory. Kohli then traveled to Australia in 2009 for the Emerging players tournament and stamped his authority all over the bowling attacks. However, the established and formidable pair of Tendulkar and Sehwag kept Kohli out of the team The 20-year-old continued to impress for Delhi and dominated attacks, clearly demonstrating that he belonged at a much higher level that junior cricket was beneath his standards. He played some commendable knocks in his extended run as an opener, as India went on to win the ODI series. In the absence of the regular openers, Virat Kohli was given a chance to open the batting in the ODI series. Grind through the ranks He soon joined the senior Men in Blue in Sri Lanka, come August 2008. In an Indian team filled with saint-like icons worthy of their own hagiographies, Virat Kohli, with his most un-Indian, 'bad-boy' intensity, would clearly be an outcast. The number of teams in the third cycle of the ICC Women's Championship (from 2022-2025) has been increased from eight to ten, and these teams will be Australia, England, India, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, West Indies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Ireland.A spunky, chubby teenager with gelled hair shot to fame after leading India to glory in the Under-19 World Cup at Kuala Lumpur in early 2008.

"We have explored a number of options to allow us to complete the event but it isn't feasible and we will fly the teams out of Zimbabwe as soon as possible. ICC Head of Events Chris Tetley said: "We are incredibly disappointed to have to cancel the remainder of this event but with travel restrictions from a number of African countries being imposed at such short notice there was a serious risk that teams would be unable to return home.
