Former skipper Salman Butt is not happy with Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja's decision to bring soil from Australia to prepare drop-in pitches in the country. Butt, who is currently serving as the head coach of the Singapore cricket team, feels that all types of pitches are available in Pakistan, and instead of importing soil from Australia, the management should use the soil from venues like Diamond Cricket Club (Islamabad) and Quetta, that offer good pace and bounce.
Quade Cooper will form an experienced half-back combination with Nic White for Australia's series opener against England in Perth on Saturday.
SL vs AUS 1st Test, Day 2 Live Updates: The start of play on Day 2 of the first Test between Sri Lanka and Australia in Galle has been delayed due to rain. Australia will begin Day 2 at 98/3 after having bowled the hosts out for 212. Nathan Lyon's 20th 5-wicket haul helped Australia bowl Sri Lanka out for a modest total despite Niroshan Dickwella's counter-attacking 58. The visitors then began strongly with the bat, but soon lost opener David Warner for 25 off 24 to Ramesh Mendis. Mendis then had his second wicket when he dismissed Marnus Labuschagne for 13. Sri Lanka got another breakthrough when a mix-up resulted in Steve Smith being run-out for 6. Usman Khawaja, however, has been steady for Australia, and was batting on 47 at Stumps on Day 1. Travis Head was the other batter at the crease. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Wimbledon is to announce four new measures to prevent Covid outbreak after two top players, Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic, were forced to withdraw from the Grand Slam after testing positive. Wimbledon has responded with immediate new measures to help prevent the spread of Covid at the All England Club. Across the ground there will be increased cleaning "in high traffic touch points, enhanced ventilation and provision of more hand sanitiser stations". Players will also see a change around the grounds with masks now being made readily available for anyone who wants them. And they will also be required to wear masks for medical consultations if they take place indoors. Meanwhile, Mr Djokovic has hit out at Covid rules in the Grand Slam at the US Open, branding the move "political". He joked he would be picked up by the US authorities if he attempted to play at the US Open and hit out at the 'political logic' behind his ban. The Serbian had his visa revoked in Australia earlier this year because he is unvaccinated.
