Matt Parkinson did not forget the part Staffordshire played in his development when he made his England Test debut against New Zealand at Lord's. The 26-year-old leg-spinner may be a proud Lancastrian and a product of the Red Rose Academy but it was a season playing for Staffordshire, in what is now National Counties cricket, in 2014 that gave Parkinson his first experience of senior county cricket.
Jordan Larmour's recent form will make Leinster wonder what might have been, according to Eddie O'Sullivan and Fiona Hayes.
Craig Overton has emerged as a strong contender to play in the second Test against New Zealand, with a green-tinged pitch increasing his chances of a Test recall.
England expect to be without seamer Ollie Robinson for at least the next three Tests after failing to get to the bottom of his back injury.
Kristian Woolf has dropped the clearest hint yet that Regan Grace's future is close to being resolved. The St Helens winger is out of contract at the end of the season and is attracting interest from elsewhere, particularly from a number of clubs in rugby union.
England spinner Jack Leach is rated as 50-50 for the second Test against New Zealand while seamer Ollie Robinson faces another three weeks on the sidelines.
Harmanpreet Kaur was on Wednesday named India women's team captain for the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka on a day when her ODI predecessor Mithali Raj announced her international retirement. Harmanpreet, who remains T20I skipper, and Smriti Mandhana were in the running to replace Mithali in the 50-over format. Eventually, the selectors have gone for the 33-year-old Harmanpreet over the 25-year-old Mandhana. India will play three T20Is and as many ODIs against Sri Lanka in Dambulla and Kandy, starting June 23. It will be India's first assignment since the early exit from the ODI World Cup in March.
The first superstar of women's cricket, arguably the most 'correct' batter in the game, a trailblazer: these sobriquets aptly describe Mithali Raj. Long before she arrived on to the international scene as a 16-year-old and scored a hundred on debut, Mithali was destined to be a great of the game. Her cover drives and back foot punches that the cricketing world relished for years, came naturally to her and to add to that flair, she developed a water-tight technique that few could breach.
