New Zealand Opener Devon Conway To Miss Third England Test Due To...
Opener Devon Conway will miss the third Test against England, New Zealand cricket said Monday, clearing the way for the return of unwanted batter Will Young. The out-of-touch Conway is awaiting the birth of his first child so won't join the Black Caps squad in Hamilton, where the final Test of the series begins on Saturday. England hold an unassailable 2-0 lead after winning the second Test in Wellington on Sunday by 323 runs. Conway's place in the squad will be taken by middle-order batter Mark Chapman but the more experienced Young is likely to be promoted to the starting XI.

"When Such A Big Player...": Harbhajan Singh's Brutal Verdict On Rohit Sharma's Form
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has raised the issue of captain Rohit Sharma's batting form and feels that it might affect his leadership skills in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a 10-wicket crushing defeat to Australia in the second Test on Sunday. Rohit, who missed the first Test of the series in Perth due to the birth of his second child, only scored 3 and 6 in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval. The 37-year-old's form in Test cricket has been a topic of debate since India's historic 0-3 home loss to New Zealand last month. In that series too, Rohit was not anywhere near to his peak performance in the red-ball format as he only accumulated 91 runs across six innings including 52 in the second innings of Bengaluru Test.
