Ian Foster will coach the All Blacks through to next year's Rugby World Cup, New Zealand Rugby said on Wednesday, giving him a vote of confidence despite recent poor performances.
England Test skipper Ben Stokes said on Tuesday that the team's attacking mindset will not change when his side takes to the field in the first Test against South Africa at Lord's on Wednesday. This comes after South African skipper Dean Elgar commented on England's 'Bazball' approach to Tests, saying, "I do not see that there is longevity in brave cricket". Under Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, England have won four consecutive Tests this summer, defeating New Zealand in a three-match series and chasing 275-plus scores in all matches. Then they downed India by chasing a record 378 runs.

Zimbabwe face their biggest challenge since Dave Houghton became coach two months ago when they host India in a series of three one-day internationals, starting on Thursday. Although several stars, including batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, are being rested ahead of the Asia Cup in the UAE this month, the tourists are expected to win all three matches in Harare. India are placed third behind leaders New Zealand and England in the ODI rankings, 10 places above Zimbabwe. Under the guidance of 64-year-old former batting star Houghton, the southern Africa nation have won nine of 11 ODI and Twenty20 internationals. With Houghton in charge, hosts Zimbabwe beat non-Test teams Jersey, Singapore, the United States, Papua New Guinea and the Netherlands to qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup.

James Anderson admitted the start to the Brendon McCullum era left him the happiest he has felt in an England dressing room for years.
