England had never won a major women's football trophy before Sarina Wiegman became coach. Now they are closing on a second in the space of a year. Wiegman's European champions face co-hosts Australia in the Women's World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday, with the prize a place in Sunday's final against Sweden or Spain. England's squad is packed with quality but arguably their biggest weapon in Sydney will be the 53-year-old native of the Netherlands standing on the sidelines.
Team India is all set to take on Ireland in the three-match T20I series, which will kick start from August 18. The visitors will be led by star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who will be making a comeback after a hiatus of almost a year.

After India's 3-2 loss to West indies in the recently-concluded T20I series, former wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel opined that captain Hardik Pandya is "still a work in progress". Brandon King's superb unbeaten 85 led West Indies to an eight-wicket win over India in the series-deciding fifth T20I on Sunday. Set a target of 166 to win the final game, in Lauderhill, Florida, West Indies reached their target with two overs to spare with Nicholas Pooran scoring 47 in a partnership of 107 with King. The win was a morale-booster for West Indies cricket after the one-day team failed, last month, to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in their history.
Recovering from a left wrist injury, Australia captain Pat Cummins on Tuesday said he is eyeing a return to international cricket during his side's three-match ODI series against India in late September, ahead of the World Cup. Cummins, who fractured his wrist during the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval (July 27-31), has been advised rest for six weeks. The pace bowler is set to miss Australia's five-match ODI series against South Africa between September 7 and 17. Australia will play ODIs against India on September 22, 24 and 27.
After the end of the West Indies tour, Indian cricket team's next assignment will be the Ireland Tour, where the big and much-awaited return of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah will happen. Out of action since late last year, Bumrah's performance will be closely watched as, on him hinges Indian cricket team's strategy for the Asia Cup 2023 and most importantly the ODI World Cup 2023. It is not just Bumrah's return that will be closely watched, as there are many more areas which needs urgent address from the BCCI selectors, when they sit for the team selection of the Asia Cup 2023.
