India have often started Men’s T20 World Cups with little or no preparation or acclimatisation to the conditions, but this time they left for Australia about 20 days before their first match. And it is important too, because securing progress to the semi-finals often turns out to be a tri-series within each group between the
England seamer Chris Woakes is in doubt for the side’s T20 World Cup opener against Afghanistan as he battles quad stiffness. His injury might further stretch England’s options in the powerplay and the death. After England were rocked this week by the loss of in-form seamer Reece Topley for the entire tournament, Woakes was tipped
Ricky Skerritt, the Cricket West Indies president, has promised a “thorough postmortem” in a scathing assessment of the team’s early exit from the 2022 T20 World Cup. In a statement posted on CWI’s website and on Twitter, Skerritt laid the blame firmly at the feet of West Indies’ batters, saying their poor shot selection and
Big picture As the dramas of the opening week of this World Cup can attest, there really aren’t any pushovers at this level any more.

Toss: Scotland chose to bat vs Zimbabwe Zimbabwe’s captain Craig Ervine recovered from a mild asthma attack that kept him out of their last match against West Indies to lead the team in a must-win clash against Scotland. But his first involvement with the game didn’t quite go according to plan. He called incorrectly at

When New Zealand came across the Tasman in late March 2015 for the ODI World Cup final they could not have been a more confident team, after surging through the tournament unbeaten on home soil, dreaming of the chance to topple their fellow hosts at the MCG to claim the title.

It’s perhaps understandable, given he has only just taken over as BCCI president, that Roger Binny was unlikely to go into the nuts and bolts of every single burning issue in Indian cricket during his first press interaction. Nonetheless, his answers in Bengaluru on Thursday gave you a peek into what the general sentiment in
Toss: West Indies opt to bat vs Ireland On a day when rain was forecast, West Indies chose to bat against Ireland in a must-win Group A game for both sides in Hobart on Friday. At the time of the toss, though, conditions were visibility brighter with a stiff breeze blowing across the ground. West

The last time the two sides face each other in a World Cup match, at the 2021 T20 World Cup, Pakistan defeated India by 10
There’s a familial feel to this West Indies camp at the moment. On other occasions, a limp defeat against an Associate nation to start off a World Cup campaign might have been all the spark required for any internal harmony to implode. When head coach Phil Simmons seethed at the “unprofessionalism” in the way his
In many ways, Australia’s preparation for their T20 title defence has felt like a contradiction. In all probability the XI that takes the field at the SCG on Saturday (weather permitting) will be the one that has appeared likely for quite some time, with Tim David replacing Steven Smith from the last T20 World Cup.
Playing the evening game on Friday, both Scotland and Zimbabwe will know exactly what they have to do to get through to the Super 12s.

His comments come after the BCCI secretary, Jay Shah, who is also the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president, suggested that next year’s Asia Cup would have to be played somewhere other than Pakistan, given India “can’t go there”. In reply, the PCB had put out a statement saying Shah’s comments were made “unilaterally” and raised
Adam Zampa has brushed off concerns about Australia’s form leading into their defence of the T20 World Cup title, believing that the extra edge provided by tournament play will bring the best of them. Australia were beaten 2-0 by England in the three-match series, and it would likely have been 3-0 without rain in Canberra,
Zimbabwe batter Sean Williams admitted his side might have taken their aggressive approach a touch too far in their defeat to West Indies, saying there is a difference between being encouraged to play your shots and “being reckless”.

Rohit Sharma is clear that India need to get “a lot of things right” if they are to win the 2022 men’s T20 World Cup and it’s too early to start thinking of the knockout stages of the tournament. “It’s been a while since we have won the World Cup,” Rohit, leading India at a
