Anna Harris became the second youngest umpire to officiate in a major ICC tournament when she took the field during the 2023 T20 Women's World Cup encounter between Sri Lanka and South Africa in Cape Town. South Africa's Lauren Agenbag is still the youngest after she umpired during T20 WC 2020. The British umpire was part of the all-female panel which was picked for the competition and during the match on Friday, 17 on-field players were older than her. Anna Harris, who is currently studying medicine and working as a healthcare worker, also became the youngest ever umpire to officiate in an international match at the age of 22 back in 2021.
Imran Tahir is no stranger to T20 franchise leagues. The 43-year-old, who retired from ODI cricket after the ICC World Cup 2019, has been a constant in tournaments all around the world and he is currently a part of MI Emirates in the ongoing ILT20. Tahir has taken 7 wickets in 7 matches till now and his imitation of the famous Cristiano Ronaldo celebration has made him a fan favourite in no time. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, the South African veteran opened up about the reason behind his celebration and why the entire gesture holds a special place in his heart.

Ad Hogg turned professional in 2011 with Glasgow Warriors, and was Scotland captain for a year in 2020.
In absence of Quinton de Kock, either West Indies southpaw Kyle Mayers or the flamboyant Deepak Hooda is likely to open the innings with skipper KL Rahul during Lucknow Super Giants' first two games in this edition of the IPL. With the South African team playing two ICC World Cup qualifier 50-over games against the Netherlands on March 31 and April 2, none of their top players will be available for their respective IPL sides in the first couple of games.
The second T20I between West Indies and South Africa will be remembered for ages as the clash broke numerous records in the shortest format of the game. The match which was played at SuperSport Park, Centurion on Sunday, recorded the highest successful run-chase by any team to date. Asked to bat first, West Indies toyed with the Proteas fielders as Johnson Charles smashed a 39-ball century and took the visitors to a whopping total of 258/5 in 20 overs. In return, the hosts turned the table upside down after Quinton de Kock smashed a century off just 44 balls as South Africa chased down the target with six wickets and seven balls remaining. Apart from this thrilling run-chase, one thing which won the hearts of all the fans around the world was when Rovman Powell risked himself and saved a boy from getting seriously hurt.
