LONDON: German pair Olivia Cowan and Sarina Schmidt will defend their Aramco Team Series — London team title this week after partnering up for the second year in a row in Tuesday evening’s tournament draft, while English captains Georgia Hall and Charley Hull have gone for compatriots in their efforts to stop them. Captain Cowan chose to reunite with Schmidt in the hope of repeating their winning feat from last year’s debut Aramco Team Series event, which saw them triumph by three shots and claim the $1 million tournament’s maiden fourball title. That year India’s Diksha Dagar was their randomly assigned third team-mate.

KL Rahul is all set to miss the 'fifth' Test against England in Birmingham next month as he is unlikely to recover from a groin injury that forced him out of the ongoing T20I series against South Africa. "Rahul has not recovered from his groin injury. The Test squad members are assembling in Mumbai today and will fly out midnight. Rahul is not travelling with the team. He will take some more time to recover although he might appear in a fitness test during the weekend. Chances of recovery aren't looking bright," a BCCI official privy to development told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants discussion with other Boards on the proposed dedicated two and half month window for IPL in ICC's next FTP calendar as they feel it could have an adverse effect on various international series. Pakistan board's reaction came a day after BCCI secretary Jay Shah's exclusive interview to the PTI, where he stated that the Indian board will be getting a "two and a half month window" for the IPL in ICC's next FTP cycle starting from 2024 till 2031.
The BCCI on Wednesday announced Team India's squad for the upcoming two-match T20I series against Ireland, starting June 26th in June.

Hardik will lead India for the first time, and this comes after he led Gujarat Titans to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 title in their debut season. He is currently a part of the team for the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa.
