Hardik Pandya reveals MS Dhoni's advice which helped him become a better player

MS Dhoni early on in his career has helped him tremendously to become a better player. The 28-year-old Pandya recently made a comeback into the India squad during the T20I series against South Africa and has made some vital contributions. His inclusion came on the back of a sensational IPL with the Gujarat Titans, where he proved his form and fitness, leading them to title triumph in the debut season. He scored 487 runs in the IPL 2022 while also chipping in with 8 wickets.

England pacer Katherine Brunt announces retirement from Test cricket

Katherine Brunt on Saturday announced her retirement from Test cricket, calling time on a career that spanned 17 years. The 36-year-old seamer will continue to play in the shorter formats of the game. Brunt made her Test debut in 2004, and was part of an influential moment for English cricket in just her third Test match - bagging nine wickets across the match and smashing 52 to help her team to retain the Women's Ashes after 42 years. Brunt claimed it was a 'smart' decision to retire from the game in order to prolong her white-ball career.

"End Of An Era": England Women Pacer Katherine Brunt Retires From Tests

England women's team pacer Katherine Brunt on Saturday announced her retirement from Test cricket. Brunt, who played 14 Tests for the team, bows out of the format with 51 wickets, the third-most by a women's player for England in the format. The 36-year-old, however, will continue to play ODIs and T20Is for the team. Brunt had made her Test debut back in 2004, and later that year helped England retain the women's Ashes after 42 years. "I feel like as an athlete there is never an obvious time to step away from doing the thing that you love," Brunt said in a statement released by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
