The fact the T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier is being played at the same time as the 50-over World Cup is a questionable scheduling choice.
New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson, who missed the match against South Africa due to an injury, is now fit and will be "available" for their key World Cup clash against Pakistan on Saturday. Ferguson walked off the game against Australia last Saturday after experiencing a niggle in his right Achilles and was ruled out of their match against South Africa. Chasing 358, the last edition's runners-up capitulated by 190 runs, marking their third defeat in a row after four consecutive wins.

Sri Lanka take on hosts India at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai for match no. 33 of the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday, November 2.

Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the Cricket World Cup for an indefinite period after flying back home due to personal reasons.

England cricket team legend Michael Vaughan criticised the 'lack of respect' for Babar Azam following Pakistan's victory over Bangladesh in Cricket World Cup 2023 on Tuesday. Amid speculations that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf was not answering Babar's calls during the team's disappointing run, a Pakistan news channel shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat from the skipper. The contents of the screenshot showed Babar claiming that he never tried to talk to Ashraf. Vaughan was not happy with alleged leaks and said that any actions like these should reserved for after the World Cup.
