"Embarrassing, Laughable": ICC Sent Brutal Message Over Champions Trophy 2025 Scheduling

Former England cricket team star David Lloyd became the latest expert to take shots at the International Cricket Council (ICC) over the scheduling of Champions Trophy 2025. India have played all of their matches in Dubai after refusing to travel to Pakistan for the competition. As a result, they were aware of their semifinal date well in advance while South Africa and Australia had to change travel plans following the group stage. This arrangement did not go down well with several experts with many claiming that India enjoyed an "unfair advantage". In a video that has gone viral on social media, Lloyd called the arrangements "embarrassing" and "laughable" and pointed out how it impacts the cricketers.

"An Incredible Leader": Shikhar Dhawan's Heartfelt Post On Steve Smith's ODI Retirement

Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan congratulated Steve Smith for his illustrious ODI career following his retirement from the format and called him a fierce competitor and an incredible leader. Smith, who was the stand-in captain for Australia in the Champions Trophy in the absence of Pat Cummins, played his last ODI against India in the eight-team competition semi-final in Dubai on Tuesday.

Jason Gillespie says he was undermined before quitting as Pakistan coach

ISLAMABAD: Jason Gillespie says he was undermined before quitting as Pakistan test cricket coach last December and has used a social media post to describe interim head coach Aaqib Javed as a “clown.” Gillespie was a fast bowler who played 71 tests and 97 one-day internationals for Australia from 1996-2006 before going into coaching. He was appointed last April for two years as Pakistan’s test coach but quit before a series in South Africa less than eight months later after an unsuccessful start. He was the second foreigner to leave Pakistan’s program in less than two months after South African Gary Kirsten stepped down as limited-overs coach in October. Aaqib, Pakistan’s national selector and interim head coach, acknowledged this week after Pakistan’s failure to reach the knockout stage of the Champions Trophy — following losses to New Zealand and India — that the chopping and changing hasn’t helped the national team. “We have changed nearly 16 coaches and 26 selectors in the last two years or so,” he was quoted as saying at a news conference to announce the latest overhaul of Pakistan’s limited-overs squads. “You put that formula on any team in the world, I think they will also be in the same situation. “Until you get consistency right from the top down to the bottom, from the chairman down, then your team will not progress.” Gillespie responded to those comments by posting an Instagram story late Wednesday describing the analysis as “hilarious.” “Aaqib was clearly undermining Gary and I behind the scenes campaigning to be the coach in all formats,” Gillespie posted.

Former world number one Osaka, now ranked 56th in the world, looked rusty against the 52nd-ranked Colombian, struggling to find the range on her powerful groundstrokes on a chilly night in the California desert. "There were certain things that felt extremely off because I could only start to practice serving after a certain amount of time and stuff like that," said Osaka. "So I think given the situation, it wasn't that terrible.
