Lindsey Vonn's knee feels "incredible" following an April surgery and she is back on the slopes, but it is unclear whether she will come out of retirement to compete on the World Cup circuit this season, a source close to the American said.
Loose forwards Ethan Blackadder, Luke Jacobson and Dalton Papali'i have been forced to drop out of the New Zealand squad for the season-ending tour of Japan and Europe because of injury.
What will be the likely XI of India vs New Zealand in first Test of the three-match series starting in Bengaluru on Wednesday? While the line-up looked settled, an India Today report said that Shubman Gill is feeling pain on his shoulder and neck. If Gill does not play, there might be some problem in having a settled XI. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, the torchbearers of India's transition phase, will have to be the team's driving force in its quest to lord over an unsettled New Zealand when the two sides square off in a three-Test series, beginning on Wednesday. The baton has not been completely passed, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are certainly running their last lap and these two young superstars will have to show that they can carry forward the legacy of the titans.
New Zealand captain Tom Latham on Tuesday conceded that beating a “well-rounded” India would be an enormous task but said his team is ready to face the challenge over the course of a three-match Test series, beginning from Wednesday. The presence of a host of experienced batters and bowlers, Latham said, makes India a formidable opponent. “You obviously look at the spinners when you come over these conditions. But they've got an equally good seam attack in Bumrah, Siraj, Akash Deep, who's played the last couple of Tests against Bangladesh. So just a well-rounded side,” Latham said in the pre-match press meet on Tuesday.
Former India captain Mithali Raj on Tuesday attributed the national team's underwhelming performance in the Women's T20 World Cup to lack of growth across departments over the past three years. It was the first time under Harmanpreet Kaur's long captaincy tenure that India failed to qualify for the knockouts of the ICC showpiece, extending the team's title-less run in world events and putting serious question marks over her future as skipper. Speaking to PTI from Dubai, Mithali said the team's downfall was a result of not getting used to the conditions in the UAE quick enough, lack of role clarity in the batting department, untested bench strength, and below-par fielding.
India skipper Rohit Sharma said on Tuesday that the team is blessed with a strong pool of batters and he wants to build a similar stock in pace bowling so that injuries stop having a bearing on the side's balance. Rohit's comments come in the backdrop of delayed recovery of senior pacer Mohammed Shami and a shoulder injury to left-arm quick Yash Dayal, who was drafted into the India squad for the recent series against Bangladesh.
A ‘feel good’ Mexican chain is set to open its second restaurant in Manchester after hitting a huge milestone.
India skipper Rohit Sharma is not at all surprised by Yashasvi Jaiswal's wonderful run in Test cricket, a result of the young left-hander's insatiable hunger to learn and succeed at the highest level. Since making his debut in mid-2023, Jaiswal has made 1217 runs in 11 Tests with three hundreds and at a stunning average of 64.05. Jaiswal had a breakout series against England earlier this year when he amassed over 700 runs across five Tests.
