Australia Domestic One-Day Cup Renamed After Late Dean Jones

Australian cricket's domestic One-Day Cup was Friday renamed the Dean Jones Trophy to honour a pioneer of the 50-over game. Jones, who died of a heart attack in India in 2020 aged 59, was one of Australia's greatest ODI players. He scored 6,068 runs across 164 appearances in the format, which he was widely credited with revolutionising with his attacking approach. "He was a World Cup winner, an innovator and possessed one of the best records in 50-over cricket for the era that he played," said Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley.

Kamran Ghulam, Shaheen Afridi Star; Pakistan Seal Back-To-Back Away ODI Series Wins

Right-hand batter Kamran Ghulam and left-arm seamer Shaheen Afridi's exceptional performances guided Pakistan to victory over South Africa by 81 runs in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Newlands on Thursday. With this win, Pakistan take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series with the last fixture to be played at Johannesburg on Sunday.

Bumrah has picked up 21 wickets so far in three Tests, and single-handedly won India the series opener in Perth last month. While Australia outplayed India in the last two Tests, Bumrah's performances have not dropped one bit. There has been much criticism of India's other frontline pacers, especially Mohammed Siraj.
