Pholetsi Moseki, Cricket South Africa's (CSA) new full-time chief, has intimated that the Proteas could indeed be without a few stars for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh due to IPL commitments.
Sachin Tendulkar became the only batsman in the history of cricket to register 100 international centuries. He achieved the feat against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. "#OnThisDay in 2012 The legendary @sachin_rt scripted history when he became the only batter in the history of cricket to score 100 international hundreds," the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted.
After registering a four-wicket win against India Women, the England women's cricket team finally opened their account in their fourth match of the competition played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. Suffering through a winless streak in the ongoing Women's World Cup, the Heather Knight-led side began well and troubled the Indian batters from the word go. Excellent lines and lengths and wickets at crucial internals of the game helped England bundle out India for 134 runs in 36.2 overs. In reply, England also endured a poor start as openers Tammy Beaumont and Danielle Wyatt departed for 1 run each. However, a gutsy fifty from Knight and cameos from the middle-order players helped England overhaul the target in 31.2 overs with four wickets remaining.
Indian women's football team will look to continue its strong form in the upcoming matches too as it chases its first title in the SAFF U-18 Championships. India made a flying start to the tournament with a big win against Nepal on Tuesday with Lynda Kom scoring a brace in the 17th and 35th minutes at the JRD Tata Sports Complex. Kom is not willing to bask in the glory of the performance for too long and wants to focus on the next match on Saturday against Bangladesh, the team that had beaten India 1-0 in the 2021 final in Dhaka to lift the title.
Jasprit Bumrah jumped six spots to fourth but struggling star batter Virat Kohli slipped to ninth in the latest ICC rankings released on Wednesday. Bumrah, who returned with eight wickets in the Day/Night second Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, climbed past Shaheen Afridi, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, James Anderson, Neil Wagner and Josh Hazlewood in the Test rankings for bowlers. Former captain Kohli, who continued his struggle with the bat and could not convert his starts, dropped four places, but managed to remain inside the top-10 just ahead of Rishabh Pant who remained static at 10th.
Fresh from his maiden Test five-wicket haul at home, Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah jumped six spots to fourth but struggling star batter Virat Kohli slipped to ninth in the latest ICC rankings released on Wednesday. Bumrah, who returned with eight wickets in the Day/Night second Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, climbed past Shaheen Afridi, Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee, James Anderson, Neil Wagner and Josh Hazlewood in the Test rankings for bowlers.
Albie Morkel will join Bangladesh as power-hitting batting coach ahead of their three-match one-day international series against the Proteas, the country's cricket board said Wednesday. The short-format specialist's international career ended in 2015 after 50 Twenty20 matches, 58 ODIs and a solitary Test. He will serve as the first Bangladesh power-hitting coach with a view to helping batsmen improve their boundary clearances -- a weak link in the current squad's white-ball matches.
