After the amount of rain the M Chinnaswamy Stadium has taken in the lead-up to the Test, the only reason for hope was the sub-air drainage system at the ground that can drain a claimed 10000 litres of water per minute. However, there was another obstacle in the course: because of the rain a day
Former India seamer Paras Mhambrey has been appointed Mumbai Indians’ bowling coach ahead of IPL 2025.

David, a former left-arm spinner who played 10 Tests and 97 ODIs, is the second Indian woman after Diana Edulji to be included in the ICC Hall of Fame. “It is truly an honour to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, something that I consider to be the highest recognition available to anyone
Innings Pakistan 366 (Ghulam 118, Ayub 77, Leach 4-114) vs England England’s bowlers enjoyed a productive first hour on a hazy second morning in Multan, but were held up by some late resistance from Aamer Jamal and Noman Ali, as Pakistan stretched their first innings by 108 runs for the loss of their final five
Allrounder Mitchell Marsh will bowl in the upcoming Sheffield Shield round as he prepares to help cover Cameron Green‘s absence during the India Test series. Marsh’s fitness and whether he can return to bowling have grown in significance for Australia since it emerged that Green will miss the entire season due to a stress fracture
The weather had taken away roughly half the playing time of India’s last home Test, in Kanpur against Bangladesh just over two weeks ago, but India still managed to win the game with some quick run-scoring and fantastic bowling. New Zealand’s tour of the subcontinent has also had its share of weather woes – their
Yashasvi Jaiswal has received a ringing endorsement from his captain and opening partner Rohit Sharma who is not one bit surprised by the youngster’s meteoric rise and expects him “to do wonders for the team” across formats. Jaiswal made his international debut in a Test match last year against West Indies where he smashed 171
West Indies needed to chase down 142 to qualify for the T20 World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2018 – a target Matthew later said she’d have “bitten your hand off” for at the start of the game. It turns out Joseph was simply in the mood. “When we went into the changing
Pakistan cricket team batter Kamran Ghulam impressed everyone on debut as he slammed a gritty century on Day 1 of the second Test match against England on Tuesday. Ghulam looked at ease against the England bowlers and he ended up scoring 118 off 224 deliveries with the help of 11 fours and 1 six. The
The PCB has described Babar’s departure from the squad for the remainder of the series as a rest ahead of white-ball series in Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. In context, though, that becomes trickier to justify given the importance of this series – which Pakistan are 1-0 down in, and the fact that Babar did
Australia captain Pat Cummins will prepare for the upcoming Test summer by leading the ODI series against Pakistan while Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head will both miss the three-match contest for paternity leave. Cummins has been named captain of Australia’s 14-man squad that was announced on Monday for the series that begins on November 4
Big picture – India look to continue WTC march When they started their home season, India needed seven wins out of their ten remaining Tests to put beyond reasonable doubt their qualification for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. In certain scenarios, even five wins would be enough. With five of these Tests in Australia,
If India are looking at moving on from Harmanpreet Kaur as their captain, the time is now. That’s the opinion of Mithali Raj, following India’s group-stage exit from the women’s T20 World Cup. Harmanpreet has been in charge since replacing Raj in 2016 and has led the team at four T20 World Cups, but the
Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat in the second T20I against West Indies in Dambulla. West Indies lead the three-match series 1-0, having won the first game by five wickets. Charith Asalanka is hoping to see more assistance for spin than there was in the first game. The Sri Lankan captain expected
Kamran Ghulam has never made any attempt to hide his desperation. All he wanted to do was play international cricket, and he would wait as long as it took. On Tuesday, 11 years on from his first-class debut, as he sat in front of the media after becoming the 13th Pakistani to score a hundred
Australia fielding an unchanged frontline pace attack last summer might have been an “outlier” as selectors strategise over their seam options in the wake of losing allrounder Cameron Green. Last summer they were aided by bowler-friendly conditions at home and in New Zealand where none of the seven matches went into a fifth day. In
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe has been sacked by the BCB for the alleged “assault” of a player during the 2023 ODI World Cup. He has been suspended for 48 hours in lieu of a notice period, and he is to be “terminated immediately” after that period. He was also served a show-cause notice by
Toss West Indies chose to bowl vs England Hayley Matthews, playing in her 100th T20I, asked England to bat first in a winner-takes-all (except for some unusual circumstances where both teams could advance) clash of the final group-stage match of the T20 World Cup. The team that triumphs in the match will advance to the
New Zealand Test captain Tom Latham is hopeful the cloudy conditions and the pitch being under covers for a length of time due to all the rain Bengaluru has received in the past week, will potentially bring the fast bowlers into play thereby helping the visitors get into the game in the first Test against
Rohit Sharma wants to injury-proof the Indian cricket team, and has called for expanding their bench strength, particularly the fast-bowling department so that they have eight or nine players ready to step into the first XI at any given moment. “We want to create a bench strength where tomorrow if anything happens to anyone, we
Lunch Pakistan 79 for 2 (Ayub 40*, Ghulam 29*, Leach 2-35) vs England Jack Leach made the early running for England on Multan’s re-used pitch, claiming two wickets in the first hour of Pakistan’s innings to confirm both teams’ suspicions that this surface would prove more conducive to spin bowling than had been the case
The WBBL will have a third umpire available in every game for the first time and an increase in matches with the full DRS in use for its tenth season. There will also be an innings timer in operation for the tournament to mirror the BBL with 73 minutes available to be ready to bowl
Ben Sears, one of four frontline fast bowlers in New Zealand’s Test squad for their tour of India, will not be taking part in the three-match series because of a knee injury. Jacob Duffy, uncapped in Tests, has been called up as Sears’ replacement, and will leave for India on Wednesday morning, the first day
Test cricket isn’t what it used to be, and India have kept pace with the times – think of the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh just recently. But while run rates have soared and batters are looking for more boundary-scoring opportunities, India head coach Gautam Gambhir believes adaptability is still the most crucial element. “We want
Big picture: Rip up the script, and go again The fans have been out in force in Multan this week, but not, as might be justified, to protest against the failings of a Pakistan team that has now lost six Tests in a row. Instead, they’ve been whirring away at either end of the heavily-watered
Pak vs Eng 2nd Test Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch© AFP Pakistan vs England Live Streaming 2nd Test: With several eyeballs on them following the decision to drop Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, a beleaguered Pakistan will take on England in the second Test, hoping to kickstart a comeback in the series.
It is rare for the same venue to stage back-to-back Tests, and using the same pitch twice in a row is believed to be unprecedented.

Teenaged opener Sam Konstas will audition for a Test spot in national team colours after being named in the Australia A squad for the upcoming red-ball series against India A. His spectacular rise has continued after being included in a 17-man squad for the two four-day games in Mackay and the MCG. Konstas, 19, lit
The BCCI’s decision to do away with the Impact Player comes shortly after they decided to retain it in the IPL for the next three seasons, up to 2027. Since its introduction in the 2023 season, the rule has stirred debate over whether it is indeed beneficial to Indian cricket, which was the original motive,
