PRETORIA : Winning skipper Temba Bavuma will have mixed emotions about the start of his test captaincy after South Africa beat the West Indies in the first test at Centurion on Thursday but the diminutive batsman joined an unwanted club.
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik was at the receiving end of a bizarre dismissal in a Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 match against the Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi. Malik, while playing for Karachi Kings, attempted a pull shot off a short delivery from Aamer Jamal in a recent match. However, the bat flew off his hand. At almost the same time the ball hit the bat too, as the bowler coolly lapped the ball to get Malik's wicket.

Regarded by many as the greatest batter of his generation, Virat Kohli had a rough patch with the bat for the majority of 2022. The 34-year-old hadn't scored an international century in nearly three years. The former India captain also had low returns with the bat during last season's Indian Premier League. Amid his struggles with the bat, former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif had suggested that once Kohli loses his magic touch, it would be difficult for him to regain his form.
Karachi Kings pacer Mohammad Amir was in sublime form during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match against the Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi on Wednesday. Despite his team falling short in the end, Amir got the ball rolling with three wickets in the powerplay. He dismissed Zalmi openers Mohammad Haris and Babar Azam in the first over, before also getting the better of youngster Saim Ayyub in the third over. Amir gave Haris his marching orders with a toe-crushing yorker, also leaving the Pakistan star injured.

LONDON: A hearing into the racism scandal at Yorkshire started on Wednesday, with ex-player Azeem Rafiq set to give evidence more than two years after he made damning allegations over his treatment by the English county cricket club. The initial proceedings were held in private but a live stream of the independent Cricket Discipline Commission panel’s deliberations was set to be broadcast to accredited journalists later in the day. Pakistan-born Rafiq, 32, first raised allegations of racism and bullying in September 2020, related to his two spells at Yorkshire.
