Yashasvi Jaiswal made strong claims for a coveted Test cap during an intra-squad practice game ahead of the series opener against the West Indies. Jaiswal's Test debut is a matter of time but what could be a subject of discussion is his usual batting slot which is opening or one down, a position that the seasoned Cheteshwar Pujara was forced to vacate after nearly three years of non-performance and an archaic style of Test match batting.
The rumblings in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will not have any bearing on the national team's performance in the ICC World Cup, or in the assignments prior to that, asserted skipper Babar Azam on Thursday. While addressing a press conference, Babar, one of the world's top batters at the moment, also said his team is looking at the World Cup as a whole and not just the marquee clash against arch-rivals India. When asked if the recent changes in the PCB leadership and selection committee affected the players, Babar said their work is to focus on cricket.
One of the most prolific batters from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season, Rinku Singh found no place in the Indian squad as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC) announced the squad for the T20I series against West Indies.

However, the biggest talking point was the exclusion of Rinku Singh, who enjoyed a brilliant season with the bat in the Indian Premier League earlier this year.
Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez impressed everyone with his impressive performance in the FIFA World Cup 2022 final against France and his double penalty saves ensured a fairytale ending to his team's run in the competition.
