Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir Dealt Fresh Blow After New Zealand Loss; Reason Is Star's Injury

The Indian cricket team has received another major blow. After the clean sweep 3-0 loss against New Zealand at home, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team's next assignment is an away Tour in Australia.

It was hoped that Shami would play Ranji Trophy matches to get fit for selection for the Australia Tour at a later stage.

Australian Rules Football Umpire Dresses Up As Osama Bin Laden, Gets Suspended

An Australian Rules umpire has been suspended for dressing up as Osama bin Laden at an end-of-season function, the sport's governing body said Monday.

Pat Cummins To The Rescue As Australia Grind Past Pakistan In Opening ODI

Skipper Pat Cummins kept his cool under pressure with a gritty unbeaten 32 to steer Australia to a nervy two wicket defeat of Pakistan in the first of three one-day internationals on Monday. Chasing 204, they reached the target with 99 balls to spare at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, surviving a huge scare when they lost three wickets in five balls. "Wonderful match but it got a little tighter than I would have liked it there," said Cummins. With Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head on paternity leave, the world champions had a new-look opening partnership in Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matt Short. But Short lasted just four balls before top-edging to Saim Ayub off Shaheen Shah Afridi while Fraser-McGurk's luck ran out on 16, slapping Naseem Shah to Irfan Khan at mid-on.

"Need To Take Full Responsibility": Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Sent Big 'Bad Form' Warning

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's barren run with the bat has been a major cause for concern for Team India, as they slumped to a humiliating 0-3 home series whitewash at the hands of New Zealand. Rohit has scored only 133 runs in his last 10 Test innings, while Kohli hasn't fared much better, scoring 192. Former India cricketer Pragyan Ojha emphasised the need for the experienced batters to take responsibility, following India's unsuccessful chase of a low target of 146.
