Alex Carey‘s stunning return to Australia’s ODI side will cause the selectors a headache ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025 when incumbent wicketkeeper Josh Inglis returns from a quad complaint, according to coach and selector Andrew McDonald.

India fast bowler Akash Deep has given a ringing endorsement of the country’s domestic system, saying it is so rigorous that players who make the step up from there to international cricket have already been battle-tested. “The structure the BCCI has for domestic cricket is so strong that by the time you get to this
Private investment into the Hundred may not be finalised by next year if the right bids and suitors are not found, according to Vikram Banerjee, director of business operations at the England & Wales Cricket Board, and the man tasked with selling off stakes in The Hundred franchises.

You win the toss, you bat. When it comes to playing a Test in Galle, that is not so much as received wisdom as it as an etched in stone eleventh commandment. While this might on the face of it seem a ploy to get the best of the batting conditions, in actuality, it’s more
Fast bowlers Shamar Joseph, Naseem Shah, Josh Little and Josh Hull are among the overseas players who will be up for grabs in the upcoming SA20 auction.

Shakib was at Bangladesh’s training session in Kanpur on Wednesday although his stint didn’t last too long. His performance was noticeably below par in the first Test in Chennai, where he did not bowl until the 53rd over of India’s first innings and was uncharacteristically expensive. While it was mentioned on the broadcast that Shakib
Will Jacks was in no doubt that Tuesday’s 84 at Chester-le-Street was his best batting display for England to date. Granted, it is not a particularly crowded field. There have only been four half-centuries across 31 international innings. And though one of those is a 94 against Ireland, it is no slight on them to

Queensland 128 for 5 (Renshaw 51, Hearne 35, Bell 2-12, Webster 2-27) Matt Renshaw‘s first half-century of a new summer was the only shining light on an otherwise gloomy day in Melbourne as Queensland and Tasmania shared the One-Day Cup points on offer after rain and bad light meant only 16 overs were possible.

Harmanpreet Kaur is “quite confident” with the India squad at her disposal for Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 because of the experience they bring.

Nigar Sultana wants Bangladesh to beat Scotland in their opening match of the women’s T20 World Cup on October 3 and set the tone for the rest of the tournament.

Toss England chose to bowl vs Australia Harry Brook won this third toss in a row as England captain – that bit of the job is going well, at least – and chose to bowl in overcast conditions for the start of the third ODI at Chester-le-Street. England, 2-0 down and needing a win to
South Australia 166 (Drew 49, Scott 46, Jackson 6-31) beat Western Australia (Turner 53, Whiteman 48, McAndrew 5-40) by two runs Western Australia have suffered an almighty collapse of 7 for 31 against South Australia, sparked by Nathan McAndrew‘s five-wicket haul, to eventually lose by two runs and remain winless in the One-Day Cup after
England Women’s captain Heather Knight has been reprimanded and handed a £1000 suspended fine by the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) for a photo of her in blackface from 2012, deemed as racist and discriminatory conduct.

Registering his second successive century at home, Ravichandran Ashwin played a rescue knock for the Indian cricket team after Bangladesh delivered a top-order collapse on Day 1 of the first Test at Chepauk.

The PCB’s much-trailed ‘connection camp’ ended on Monday with what officials said was a roadmap to bring the game out of the doldrums it finds itself in at the moment.

Red soil will become black. Bounce and carry will be fleeting. And don’t expect a rank turner. In a nutshell, that is likely to be the nature of the pitch at Green Park in Kanpur, where the second and final Test of the India-Bangladesh series starts on September 27. It is understood that unlike the
Fresh from bringing up 200 ODI wickets at Headingley on Saturday, Adil Rashid says he has the hunger to continue playing international cricket, dismissing talk that retirement may be on the horizon.

Big Picture Australia have played like world champions, England have played like a team that has only just come together and are trying to figure out their next style of one-day cricket.
