Mitchell Marsh has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, which Delhi Capitals (DC) assistant coach Pravin Amre called a “worrying sign” for the team. “A few of our players are injured, and the worrying sign is Mitch Marsh,” Amre said after DC’s 29-run loss away to Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday. “He has gone for
Sophie Devine has described New Zealand’s victory in the final match of England’s tour as validation for the work her team has done behind the scenes to improve their position in world cricket.

File photo of Virat Kohli© BCCI/Sportzpics Former BCCI anti-corruption unit chief Neeraj Kumar found superstar Virat Kohli’s work ethic “matchless” during his tenure with the powerful cricket board.

Saif’s all-round skills came to the fore this week. He made 115 and took 2 for 44 against Prime Bank, apart from his three-wicket haul against Legends of Rupganj, both in winning causes. Mahidul Islam Ankon is the only uncapped player among the top run-getters in this year’s DPL. The Mohammedan wicketkeeper-batter has struck six
Sunrisers Hyderabad legspinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of IPL 2024 because of chronic heel pain in his left foot.

There’s been no confirmation on a replacement for Hasaranga
Virat Kohli is scoring at a strike rate of 146 in this year’s IPL. Only once has he ever scored quicker and that was in 2016 when he was the kind of form where he was threatening the 1000-run mark. Is this a conscious effort? Is he trying to bat differently, more aggressively? “Look I’m

Rob Key is hopeful Jofra Archer will be fit enough to play in England’s T20I series against Pakistan next month in a bid to prove his readiness for the T20 World Cup in June. England’s managing director of men’s cricket also stated that Archer will not be considered for Test cricket until 2025. Archer is
James Anderson believes that the British government’s £35 million investment in grassroots cricket will “make a massive difference” to the sport’s profile and accessibility over the next five years. Rishi Sunak, the UK’s Prime Minister, announced a funding package at The Oval on Friday morning which Richard Thompson, ECB chair, described as a “seminal” step
Usman Khan, who recently reverted allegiance from UAE to Pakistan, has been banned by the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) for five years. The ban includes all ECB events during this period, meaning he cannot play in the ILT20, the Abu Dhabi T10, or any other ECB-affiliated competitions held in the UAE until 2029. An ECB

Karabo Meso, the 16-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, has earned her maiden ODI call-up, figuring in the 14 for South Africa’s three-match series against Sri Lanka from April 9 in East London. Chloe Tryon, who missed the third T20I, has been ruled out of the series to continue her rehabilitation for a back injury. Annerie Dercksen, who was
James Anderson is unlikely to play for Lancashire in the County Championship before June, as he looks to manage his workload before England’s Tests against West Indies and Sri Lanka in the second half of the summer.

The PCB’s medical management of fast bowlers is again under the microscope after it emerged that Pakistan and Multan Sultans fast bowler Ihsanullah had an elbow injury initially misdiagnosed, which has resulted in a routine injury turning into a significantly more serious one. Ihsanullah last played for Pakistan on his ODI debut in April 2023
Turner is one of the very few T20 middle-order specialists in Australia and has been a popular player at both Durham and Manchester Originals in the last two England summers. Both Durham and Originals have strong WA connections with Turner’s former WA team-mate Marcus North the director of cricket at Durham and former WA keeper-batter
Punjab Kings match-winner Shashank Singh said that his mentality of always going in to bat thinking he is the best helped him conquer the imposing 200-run target set by Gujarat Titans in an IPL game here on Thursday. Shashank slammed an unbeaten 29-ball 61 as PBKS won the match by three wickets on the penultimate
Alyssa Healy was left delighted with the experience and knowledge her team were able to take away from the tour of Bangladesh with an eye on the T20 World Cup later this year. Australia completed a cleansweep of the visit, their first in bilateral cricket, with a 77-run victory in the final T20I and it
Cricket Australia have blocked Xavier Bartlett from playing in the County Championship for Kent, denying him a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) shortly after offering him his first national contract. Bartlett had a breakout season in the 2023-24 Australian summer, making his ODI and T20I debuts against West Indies in February and taking 20 wickets – the
Still bitter about the scheduling fiasco that forced him and other senior players to miss a two-Test series against New Zealand earlier this year, South Africa pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada says they were not given a say in the “unacceptable” botch-up. As many as seven uncapped players were named for the series which was a
Young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is currently leading the charts for the highest run-getters after a brilliant performance against West Indies and England in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 table, as per the ICC official website. From the West Indies’ heist at The Gabba to India’s brilliant fightback at home against Ben Stokes’ England,
Glenn Maxwell has described the pace of Mayank Yadav as “pretty formidable” and believes the speeds he produced were the equivalent of former Australia quick Shaun Tait in his prime. Mayank’s stunning display earned him his second straight player of the match award and sent shockwaves to Australia given he bounced out Maxwell and castled
Nathan McSweeney has been named the new South Australia captain as the state’s men’s set-up goes through significant changes after another disappointing season. McSweeney’s elevation is the latest move up the leadership ladder after captaining Australia A, the Prime Minister’s XI and Brisbane Heat in the last 12 months. He also led South Australia in
Sri Lanka 156 for 6 (Athapaththu 73, Samarawickrama 54, de Klerk 2-25) beat South Africa 155 for 6 (Wolvaardt 56, de Klerk 44, Kumari 3-24) by four wickets Sri Lanka, with Sugandika Kumari leading the way with the ball and Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama slamming quick half-centuries, came from behind to win a historic
It speaks of the crossroads at which Dawid Malan finds himself that he will start the 2024 season moonlighting as a batting coach for Yorkshire. Even with the T20 World Cup two months away, Malan, the ICC’s No.11-ranked T20I batter – Phil Salt (second) and Jos Buttler (ninth) are the only Englishmen sitting higher –
It was only apt that a Sri Lankan fast bowler sealed a 2-0 series win in Chattogram. When Lahiru Kumara yorked Khaled Ahmed, it was 11.15am local time on the final day. It was always going to be a quick end to the game after Sri Lanka took seven of Bangladesh’s fourth-innings wickets on the
In Stokes’ absence, England will consider using Liam Livingstone in the No. 4 spot that he filled during their 3-2 defeat to West Indies in December – though Livingstone limped off with an apparent muscle strain while fielding for Punjab Kings on Sunday, and is waiting on scan results to determine its severity. Jamie Overton,
Tim Robinson, the newest member of New Zealand’s T20I squad, has a pretty simple outlook when it comes to the format. “I love hitting sixes,” he said, something that started in the backyard as a kid and has now carried him to the brink of an international debut against Pakistan. Robinson only has 20 domestic
Given the huge sums of money splurged on them, much attention has been on Starc and Cummins. But Spencer Johnson was another of the Australian quicks to go for big money at the auction and his story is perhaps the most remarkable given his rapid rise in little more than a year. He only bowled
Former India coach Ravi Shastri feels the fan backlash towards Hardik Pandya could have been avoided had Mumbai Indians shown “clarity in communication” while announcing him as captain. Shastri also advised Pandya to stay calm and weather the storm with solid performances. “This is not the Indian cricket team that’s playing. This is franchise cricket.
