The Hundred will run from August 1-27 in 2023, a shorter window than in its first two seasons as the competition avoids a clash with England’s home international cricket for the first time.

Northern, who resumed with Hurraira on 193 and Amin on 79, didn’t lose any wickets in the opening session but Danish Aziz broke through with Hurraira’s wicket after lunch, and Aaliyan then sent back Amin not long after to raise Sindh’s hopes. But Waheed, playing only his fourth game of the season, and Rohail ensured

Steve Waugh feels that the cricket-watching public, at least in Australia, “has almost overdosed” on the game, and it has reached a point where the interest levels are on the wane. “There’s a lot of cricket, it’s hard to follow as a spectator, it’s very hard to keep up with it,” Waugh said on SEN’s
On what is expected to be a bouncy and quick Optus Stadium pitch – a far cry from the slower Caribbean surfaces – West Indies’ pace attack has been urged to be restrained and patient against the experienced Australia batters in the first Test starting on Wednesday.

New Zealand are set to hand a debut to Wellington wicketkeeper-batter Jess McFadyen in the upcoming home series against Bangladesh, after she was named in the 15-member squad for the three T20Is and ODIs.

Prithvi Shaw could be a future India captaincy candidate, according to former India batter Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir also picked Hardik Pandya, who has already led India in T20Is, as a future India captain, but Shaw was a more left-field choice as he has not played for India since July 2021. Hardik has been touted as

Shubman Gill in ODI series against New Zealand© AFP It’s been a frustrating outing for the Indian cricket team in New Zealand, with as many as three matches getting affected due to rain since the players’ arrival.

Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat first for the second time in 48 hours, on a Pallekele surface that looked to both captains as if it would have plenty of runs in it. Often, at this venue, the ball tends to zip around under lights as well – a phenomenon Afghanistan’s quicks used
Northern 296 for 2 (Hurraira 193*, Amin 79*, Umar 2-56) lead Sindh 284 (Mehmood 78, Alam 61*, Musa 3-61, Jamal 3-76) by 12 runs Muhammad Hurraira scored his third hundred in four matches as Northern took command over Sindh in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final on the second day.

Steven Smith says the technical change that unlocked his “ultimate” batting set-up is made for Test cricket, with only a self-inflicted hip injury slowing him down in Perth. Feeling as good as he did during his prime, Smith had limited involvement at an optional training session on Sunday before Wednesday’s first Test against West Indies.
Ollie Pope only knew the day before that he would be captaining England in their warm-up match against the Lions in Abu Dhabi.

Sindh 230 for 7 (Mehmood 56*, Alam 38*, Musa 2-53, Mubasir 2-59) vs Northern Cometh the hour, cometh the man – with some help. Fawad Alam has not had a bad season, certainly not poor enough to have been dropped from the Pakistan Test side. But it has not been as prolific, perhaps, as previous
As the build-up for Australia’s opening Test of the summer threatens to be mired in bloodletting, Mitchell Starc aptly fronted the media just metres from ‘Langer’s Loft’ – once an exclusive bar for members but now an eyesore amid a redevelopment at the WACA.
