The 2011 World Cup was memorable one for the Indian cricket team and its millions of fans. Pacer Munaf Patel was an important member of that team. He was India's third-highest wicket-taker with 11 scalps after Zaheer Khan (21) and Yuvraj Singh (15). On Tuesday, Ashwin posted a video from his Twitter showing a kid bowling to his peers. The action of the kid impressed the pacer and he even found similarities with Afghanistan star Rashid Khan.

Struggling Indian batters will need to find a way to play on a slow surface as they face Bangladesh in the second women's ODI in a bid to avoid an embarrassing series defeat in Mirpur on Wednesday. Spinners, especially leg-break bowlers, have troubled Indian batters through the Bangladesh tour and on Sunday they also found pacer Marufa Akter hard to negotiate as the fancied team suffered its first-ever loss to Bangladesh in ODIs. Following that memorable victory and a win in the preceding final T20, Bangladesh now have the momentum and belief to script a famous series win over India.
India's ace cricketer Smriti Mandhana, who made her international debut at the age of 16 against Bangladesh in 2013, celebrates her 27th birthday on Tuesday. The vice captain is preparing for the second ODI against Bangladesh to be played on Wednesday, which shows her commitment and love towards cricket. The elegant opener has not taken her foot off the gas since then and has represented India in 4 Tests, 78 ODIs, and 119 T20Is. She took centre stage after demonstrating her batting skills in the 2017 ICC World Cup. The teenager was instrumental in taking India to the World Cup finals, where they were defeated by England by 9 runs.
Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott and all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai were fined for two separate incidents during the second T20I against Bangladesh. Both Trott and Omarzai were docked 15 per cent of their match fees for a Level 1 Code of Conduct breach during the second T20I against Bangladesh. "Trott was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match,” International Cricket Council (ICC) said in an official statement.
Opener Liton Das top-scored with 35 as Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan by six wickets in the second Twenty20 international to take the two-match series 2-0 on Sunday. Liton laid the foundation for the win with a 67-run opening stand with Afif Hossain (24) as Bangladesh raced to 119-4 in 16.1 overs after Taskin Ahmed's 3-33 helped the side restrict Afghanistan to 116-7 in a rain-reduced 17 overs. Bangladesh won the opening match of the series by two wickets on Friday, and Sunday's follow-up -- both of them in the northeastern city of Sylhet -- earned them their third consecutive T20 series win, and their first against Afghanistan in three attempts.
