Memon: Batsman Kohli Has Touched the Stars, Captain Kohli Still at Crossroads

Memon: Wadekar Was a 'Character', Somebody Who Would Stay With You Forever

Encomiums and rich tributes have poured in for Ajit Wadekar ever since his death last week, none of them exaggerated as can happen in such situations. His contribution to Indian cricket – in multiple roles – is enormous, and acknowledgment of this is mot juste....

Memon: India's Batting Regression Needs Robust and Immediate Analysis Within the Camp

While the series in South Africa was fiercely contested – as reflected in the 1-2 result – and the first Test of this tour was a humdinger, India’s collapse in the first innings at Lord’s shows regression rather than progress as far as the batting is concerned....

Memon: Virat Kohli Inspires Among Floundering Colleagues as Lord’s Challenge Looms on Horizon

The Edgbaston Test was memorable, among the finest in years.

WATCH | Memon: Joe Root's Dismissal Brought India Back in the Game

Ayaz Memon feels that the run-out of Joe Root started a collapse which saw the hosts lose six wickets in the third session and brought India right back into the game by stumps.

Memon: Being Prime Minister was Always Imran Khan’s Destiny Once He Chose His Path After Cricket

Four cricketers have become Prime Ministers -- F H D Bell (New Zealand PM in 1925), A F Douglas-Home (British PM 1962-64), Kamisese Mara (Fiji PM 1970-87, President 1994-2000) and Imran’s nemesis Nawaz Sharif (Pak PM 1990-93, 97-99, 2013-17) -- but they never went beyond first-class level.

Down Memory Lane – Ayaz Memon Remembers his First Tour to England in 1990 – India Lost Series but Won Hearts

My first Test tour to England coincided with a particularly turbulent period in Indian cricket. Players and the administration had been on a collision course following the 1989 tour of West indies. This had caused suspensions, upheavals, and brought India a new captain, Mohammed Azharrudin after the 1989-90 tour of Pakistan. ...

Memon: Dhoni of Today Mustn't be Measured Against MSD of Yesteryear

Great sportspersons have the amazing ability to switch on and off at will, compartmentalize their thought processes to fit the moment rather than linger on what’s transpired or could happen in the future. MS Dhoni is no different....

Memon: Wrist Spin Twins Allow India Exciting Options to Consider Change in Status Quo

Oh dear, poor Merlyn came under a great deal of flak after England were routed by India in the first ODI. But what can an inanimate bowling machine do if the skill of batsmen against wrist spin itself is so dubious....
