Beauden Barrett and Richie Mo'unga have long shut out other claimants to New Zealand's number 10 jersey but All Blacks fans may see a new challenger emerge in the Rugby Championship clash against Argentina on Saturday.
Mayank Agarwal worked on his batting. The intensity was ferocious, although he did pause when players like Umran Malik stopped by to greet him. Nor did he miss congratulating them on their call-up for the upcoming red-ball series against New Zealand ‘A’. But deep down he was hurting. It’s been a tough year for the 31-year-old. He hasn’t played for the country since the day-night Test against Sri Lanka in March and as skipper of Punjab Kings, he turned in a sub-par 196 runs in 12 innings in the Indian Premier League. Mayank’s international career is at a crossroads, but rather than brood over what could have been, the talented batsman is determined to make a strong comeback. He has chosen to channel his energy towards working on his flaws. The goal is to be back in India colours. The Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 tournament offered him just the platform that he needed – the confidence-building kind. Captain of the Kalyani Bengaluru Blasters, Mayank is currently the leading runs scorer with 480 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 167.24. This includes two centuries and a half-century. What’s more, he has been a revelation as captain. “I’m very happy with my performance and the way I’m batting,” he said. “I’ve been able to contribute to the team’s success.”

Not one, but two matches against Copa America winners, Brazil.
Asia Cup 2022 is about to begin over the weekend in UAE and the tournament will see some of the best batters in modern day T20 cricket try and demolish opposition bowling attacks. The Indian and Pakistani sides are full of heavyweights, while the likes of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan also boast of players who can get big runs under their belt.
Trent Boult has not given up hope of playing Test cricket again despite declining a central contract with New Zealand Cricket (NZC), the left-arm seamer said on Thursday. Boult has negotiated a "significantly reduced role" with the Black Caps citing the need to spend time with his family though he remains open to stints in Twenty20 leagues.
New Zealand coach Ian Foster said Thursday "it doesn't feel right" that former All Black Tawera Kerr-Barlow could play for Australia and become the first player to switch between tier-one nations in more than 20 years.
