LONDON : England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will not play in the one-day international series on the tour of West Indies starting later this month after a setback in his recovery from a calf injury, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Monday.
The Indian cricket team continues its terrific form in the T20I format. It defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday. The result helped India extend their consecutive victories in the format to eight. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side dominated the match against Bangladesh at New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, Gwalior since the very beginning. On the other hand, hosts Bangladesh struggled to get going.
West Indies all-rounder Andre Russel took to social media to launch an explicit-filled rant following a controversy during the eliminator match of Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024. Russell, who plays for Trinbago Knight Riders, wrote that he felt 'robbed' following his team's loss against Barbados Royals. The encounter was affected by floodlight failure and after a lengthy delay, Royals were given a new target using DLS rule which they achieved thanks to an explosive knock from David Miller.
Apart from chasing their first-ever Women's T20 World Cup, India will also be striving to make a rare double of winning two silverwares in the shortest format in both genders, an achievement which would be very unique in the cricketing world. Right-handed batter Jemimah Rodrigues said the desire and passion to win the upcoming tournament was reignited in the team on seeing the Rohit Sharma-led side end a major trophy drought by winning Men's T20 World Cup this year with a seven-run win over South Africa in the final at Barbados.
England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will return to the side for their One-Day International and Twenty20 tour of the West Indies later in October after recovering from a calf injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Wednesday.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah wished India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav on his 34th birthday on Saturday, adding that he's excited to see him lead the team to more wins in the shortest format. "Happy Birthday to our T20I skipper and Mr. 360 with the bat, @surya_14kumar! I'm excited to see you lead the Men in Blue to many victories in the shortest format. Best wishes for the year ahead!” wrote Shah on his ‘X' account. Suryakumar, who also held the top ranking in the men's T20I rankings, etched himself forever into cricketing folklore with his stunning relay catch at long-off of David Miller in this year's T20 World Cup final at Kensington Oval in Barbados, which eventually paved the way for India to end an 11-year drought of winning a global title.
Cricket Ireland have announced that Graeme West, the current Cricket West Indies (CWI) high performance manager, has been appointed director of high performance with Ireland and will start in the role next month.
Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Mohammad Amir was left fuming during the Caribbean Super League after compatriot Imad Wasim's lackluster fielding effort. Both Amir as well as Wasim play for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons and the incident took place during the encounter against Barbados Royals. It was a short-pitched delivery from Amir and the batter - Quinton De Kock - guided it comfortably towards the third-man boundary. Imad was fielding at deep backward point and he was the one running towards the ball to save the four. However, he eased up and kept jogging as the ball went for a four leaving Amir agitated. Amir was heard shouting at Imad to run and his fielding position was changed on the next ball.
