’It feels nice’: Zhou edges world champion Verstappen in F1 testing
SAKHIR, Bahrain: China’s Zhou Guanyu succeeded where many others have failed on Friday by out-pacing Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen and admitted “it feels nice to see my name up there.” Zhou clocked a best time of 1min 31.610sec off 132 laps in his Alfa Romeo on the second day of pre-season testing on the same Sakhir track which will stage the 2023 championship opener on March 5. “We are well aware this is testing, of course, and everyone is trying different settings, but it feels nice to see my name and that of the team up there in the timing sheets,” said 23-year-old Zhou. “It’s been a positive day overall, we got more mileage in and went through all the targets and tasks we had set for ourselves, so I can say I am happy.
The evolving balance between long and short formats in cricket
Sandwiched in between T20 competitions in Australia, the UAE, Bangladesh, South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan are two Test matches between New Zealand and England and four between India and Australia.

"Don't Want Him Carrying...": Australia Great Gives Verdict On Pat Cummins' Captaincy
Former Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy doesn't want tearaway fast bowler Pat Cummins "carrying burden of captaincy". Cummins, who was appointed Test captain in November of 2021 and ODI skipper late last year, enjoys a strong winning record as captain of the Australian team. However, with Australia 0-2 down against India in the ongoing four-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Cummins' leadership credentials have come into question. The 29-year-old was also dethroned as the no. 1 bowler in Test cricket by evergreen James Anderson.
"100 Per Cent Ready To Go": Australia Star Declares Himself Fit For Third Test Against India
Australia all-rounder Cameron Green has declared himself "100 per cent" fit to play the third Test against India, starting from March 1 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Green's anticipated return from a serious finger injury that has seen him miss the first two Test will be a huge boost for Australia, especially when the likes of Pat Cummins, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood have been ruled out of the third Test due to various reasons. While Cummins declared himself unavailable earlier on Friday, Warner and Hazlewood have been sent back home due to injury setbacks.

Jemimah Rodrigues is utterly disappointed after India's a semifinal exit from the Women's T20 World Cup but the top-order batter wants to count on the positives and sees her team dominating the game in the foreseeable future.

They lost the ODI World Cup final to England in 2017, the 2020 T20 World Cup final to Australia and the 2022 CWG final to Australia in Birmingham.
