(Reuters) - Australia coach Tony Gustavsson said he would limit his experiments with the side in the build-up to the Women's World Cup after they ended their European camp with a 1-1 draw against Portugal on Tuesday.
Former England spinner Graeme Swann is thrilled with the transformation the English Test team has undergone under the leadership of new captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum. He said that the momentum they are carrying from the recent series sweep over New Zealand makes them "slight favourites" for the rescheduled fifth Test against India in Birmingham. Swann said that if the Test had happened as per schedule last year, then he would have handed it to India "on a platter" as they were the better team then. But now, with England's new exciting brand of cricket, he feels the hosts hold the edge.
The fifth rescheduled Test between India and England will start on July 1 but there's no clarity on Rohit Sharma's participation. The Indian skipper is under isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. With vice-captain KL Rahul also out injured, the question remains as to who will lead the team against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Rohit was named as India's all-format captain after Virat Kohli had stepped down from the role, following the Test series defeat in South Africa.

India and England will square off in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham from Friday, July 1. England are coming into the contest after thrashing New Zealand 3-0 in three-match Test series and the side have shown a great attacking brand of cricket. However, former India pacer Ajit Agarkar believes that India should not try and match England's style, as they are good enough to beat England. He also said that England will find it harder to take down Indian bowlers as they have more to their attack as compared to New Zealand.
Controversial former Wallaby Israel Folau's Pacific Nations Cup debut at the weekend, along with four former All Blacks, will provide a gilt-edged opportunity to raise the profile of the game in the region, the players' association chief told AFP on Wednesday.
(Reuters) - England coach Brendon McCullum said his side's aggressive performances in their 3-0 series win over New Zealand set the alarm bells ringing around world cricket and that there would be no change of approach against India in their rearranged test.
