Off-spin all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has earned a recall to the Bangladesh men's T20I for the upcoming series against India, starting on October 6 in Gwalior. Apart from him, left-handed opening batter Parvez Hossain Emon and left-arm spinner Rakibul Hasan have also been called up to the squad, while Soumya Sarkar has been left out. Mehidy has been a consistent performer in Tests and ODIs for Bangladesh in over a year, which has propelled his return to T20Is 14 months since his last appearance in the shortest format.

"Na Na Kar Ke Bhi 10 IPL...": Shah Rukh Khan's Remark On MS Dhoni Breaks Internet

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the retention rules for IPL 2025 on Saturday. Each teams will be allowed to retain a maximum of six players ahead of the auction but it was the uncapped player rule that was of specific interest to Chennai Super Kings. The rule stated that any Indian player who has not played an international game in the last five years will be considered to be an 'uncapped player' and that includes former captain MS Dhoni. As a result, the veteran wicket-keeper batter can be retained by CSK for just Rs 4 crore. Amid the chatter regarding Dhoni's future in the IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan's comment on him has gone viral.

Musheer Khan Gives First Public Statement After Car Accident, Says "My Father..."

Young all-rounder Musheer Khan, who survived a car accident while on his way to join the Mumbai team for the Irani Cup, expressed his gratitude to everyone who prayed for his recovery in his first public statement. Musheer, the right-handed batter who also bowls left-arm spin, suffered a fracture in his neck in a serious car accident while on his way to Lucknow from his hometown Azamgarh for the Irani Cup match beginning on October 1 against Rest of India. He was traveling with his father Naushad Khan when their car hit the divider and flipped a few times. The neck fracture will keep Musheer out of action for a few months, which means he will be unavailable for Mumbai in the Irani Cup and initial Ranji Trophy matches.

Harry Brook Shatters Virat Kohli's Record, Surpasses MS Dhoni To Achieve Sensational Feat

England cricket team batter Harry Brook shattered Virat Kohli's record to achieve a sensational feat during the fifth ODI encounter against Australia on Sunday. Brook, who was appointed captain for the ODI series in the absence of the injured Jos Buttler, has been enjoying a brilliant run of form. The youngster slammed his maiden century in the third ODI to guide his team to victory and he followed it up with a gritty half-century. On Sunday, he slammed 72 off just 57 deliveries to take his tally of runs in the series to 312. That is now the highest runs scored by a captain in a bilateral series against Australia as Brook broke the record that Kohli achieved back in 2019. Ex-India captain MS Dhoni holds the third position in the list with 285 runs that he scored against Australia in 2009.

PT Usha Breaks Silence On Accusations Of Running Indian Olympic Association In 'Autocratic' Manner

Accused of running the Indian Olympic Association in an "autocratic" manner, its president PT Usha on Sunday hit back at the revolting executive council members, saying they "seem more focused on self-serving power play and monetary gain" than working for the betterment of the country's sport. In an official press release, Usha also alleged that "some of these EC members have very questionable track records, including allegations of gender bias and even cases of sexual harassment filed against them". "In my 45-year-long career as a sportsperson representing India ... I have never encountered individuals so indifferent to the aspirations of our athletes and our nation's sporting future ... these individuals seem more focused on self-serving power play and monetary gain through their prolonged presence and control in sports administration," Usha said.

India vs Bangladesh: "So Embarrassing" - Internet Fumes As Wet Outfield Spoils Play In Kanpur Test

The day three of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at the Green Park Stadium was abandoned on Sunday without a ball being bowled due to wet outfield. Though it did not rain so far today, there were still some wet patches in the ground, including one near the bowler's run up area. The outfield could not be dried out despite the covers being peeled off. Even the second day of action was abandoned due to rain. If India does not get a win in this Test, it could make their journey towards a hat-trick of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final in the UK a little more tight, requiring them to beat New Zealand in three-match home Test series (from October 16 onwards) and Australia in five-Test series away from home (from November 22 onwards) by much bigger scorelines and margins.

Ajit Agarkar And Co. Snub Two Performing Stars For Bangladesh T20Is, Face Heat On Internet

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a 15-member T20I squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh following the end of the ongoing two-match Test series. The absence of some of the performing stars from the team, particularly Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan, saw fans vent their anger on social media, taking a swipe at selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar for the decision. Right-handed batter Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead the team in the shortest format of the game while Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma were picked as the wicketkeeper-batters in the side. But, the absence of Ruturaj and Ishan left fans completely baffled.
