NOTTINGHAM, England : Zimbabwe won the toss and put hosts England into bat on the opening day of the four-day test at a Trent Bridge on Thursday, with visiting captain Craig Ervine having no hesitation in deciding to bowl under cloudy skies.
Some cricketers possess an unmistakable presence when they walk out to bat. Vivian Richards of the West Indies was one. He swaggered, smiled, oozed confidence and menace, chewed gum and eschewed a helmet in favor of a cap. His style of entrance may have set a precedent for others to build their own individual brands as cricketers in an era of universal television coverage.
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming believes that fast bowler Anshul Kamboj can be a great addition to the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Test series against England. Following CSK's match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, Fleming said that Kamboj's deceptive pace and ability to hit the right lengths can prove to be quite useful in the English conditions. The BCCI selectors are expected to pick the squad this week with few question marks over Mohammed Shami's fitness.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday signed New Zealander Tim Seifert as a replacement for England batter Jacob Bethell, who will be unavailable for the IPL play-offs due to national commitments. The replacement will be effective from May 24, the BCCI said in a statement. Seifert, who has scored 1540 runs in 66 T20s for the Blackcaps, has played only three games in the IPL previously and last featured in the tournament in 2022. He will join RCB for Rs two crore. "Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have signed Tim Seifert as Jacob Bethell is set to leave from TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for England on May 24, 2025 - following RCB's league-stage game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 23, 2025 - to join the England team," the statement added.
The Rajasthan Royals brought an end to their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign with a victory against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday. RR ended the season with 4 wins and 10 defeats to their name, giving head coach Rahul Dravid plenty to ponder on ahead of the next campaign. Over the course of the season, Dravid was seen taking notes quite extensively in his notebook while sitting in the dugout. As the campaign ends for his team, Dravid shared the 'secrets' behind the act and what exactly he writes about.
The following are some of the other contenders for the men's singles title at the French Open, which starts on Sunday:
NEW DELHI :England batter Jacob Bethell is leaving Royal Challengers Bengaluru for national team duty, with Tim Seifert replacing him for the rest of the Indian Premier League campaign, the franchise said on Thursday.
Mumbai's Ayush Mhatre was on Thursday appointed captain of the India U-19 team for next month's tour of England, while 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also included in the squad. The tour, scheduled to begin on June 24, will include a 50-over warm-up match, followed by a five-match Youth One-Day series and two Multi-Day matches against England U19. Suryavanshi's selection comes on the back of a breakthrough IPL season with Rajasthan Royals. The baby-faced big-hitter from Bihar's Samastipur had become the toast of the nation after becoming the youngest to smash an IPL hundred and his 35-ball century last month against Gujarat Titans was also the second fastest of the league.
