It was on this day, 11 years ago, that Virat Kohli made his debut in the longest format of the game. The right-handed Kohli had made his Test debut against the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica, and in the game, he registered scores of 4 and 15. 11 years later, Kohli is one of the lynchpins of the Indian batting lineup and has made No.4 batting slot his own. Kohli also had a very successful captaincy reign in the longest format of the game.
Netherlands captain Pieter Seelaar on Sunday announced his retirement from international cricket due to recurring back problems. Cricket fans will never be able to forget his spell at the 2011 World Cup against India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi where he returned with figures of 3-53 in 10 overs. During his spell, Seelaar sent Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Yusuf Pathan back to the hut in a span of two overs.
Opening batter John Campbell completed his first Test half-century in the Caribbean as the West Indies completed a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh on the fourth morning of the first Test in Antigua on Sunday. Resuming at 49 for three, and needing just 35 more runs at the start of the day in pursuit of a modest target of 84, Campbell dominated the scoring alongside vice-captain Jermaine Blackwood (26 not out). He completed his third Test half-century overall with a sweep for four before sealing the result emphatically with a six over long-off in the same over from part-time off spinner Najmul Hossain.

Veteran pacer Kemar Roach's enduring quality and consistency put the West Indies within 35 runs of victory over Bangladesh going into the fourth day of the first Test. His five for 53 from 24.5 overs in the Bangladesh second innings total of 245 looked, briefly, as if it would be overshadowed though by a stunning West Indies collapse in pursuit of a modest target of 84 as the hosts slipped to nine for three late on the third day Saturday.

Those three wickets by seamer Khaled Ahmed - he removed captain Kraigg Brathwaite, Raymon Reifer and Nkrumah Bonner in quick succession - lit a fire under the Bangladeshis.
WI vs BAN, 1st Test, Day 3 Live Updates: With Bangladesh completely on back foot, West Indies on Day 3 will aim to clinch an early win in the first Test of the two-match series. The guests, who are trailing by 112 runs, will resume their second innings at 50/2 at North Sound in Antigua on Saturday. The first two days of play saw a total of 22 wickets falling, but not before the hosts gained a considerable lead of 162 runs. The big first-innings advantage keeps West Indies in the driver's seat while Mahmudul Hasan Joy (18 not out) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (8 not out) try to extend their 15-run overnight partnership to help Bangladesh stay alive in the game.
