Ahead Of Champions Trophy, South Africa Great Hopes To See Proteas Ending ICC Trophy Drought

Former captain Graeme Smith is optimistic that South African will end its prolonged wait for an ICC trophy this year, long before they host the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2027. With the eight-team Champions Trophy beginning on February 19 and World Test Championship (WTC) final scheduled for June this year, Smith believes South Africa is on the brink of breaking their ICC trophy drought. "Hopefully, we will end that wait much before the 2027 World Cup, with the Champions Trophy and WTC final coming up but if South Africa could win a WC trophy in front of a home crowd, it would be amazing," Smith told PTI Bhasha.

"It's Too Early To Judge": Australia Coach Backs Test Debutant Cooper Connolly

Australia coach Andrew McDonald remains optimistic about Cooper Connolly's Test future despite a subdued debut, insisting the young batting all-rounder has plenty of time to cement his place in the team's top six. Connolly was handed a whirlwind debut in just his fifth first-class game, with selectors expecting challenging batting conditions in the second Test against Sri Lanka at Galle. However, the pitch proved more manageable than anticipated, aside from a fiery spell on day three when Sri Lanka unleashed a devastating new-ball attack that triggered a collapse of 7-64.

"Pakistan Are Very Dangerous": Ravi Shastri's Blunt Warning For Team India Ahead Of Champions Trophy

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri feels Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan will have "enough depth to be dangerous in home conditions" in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Pakistan have the benefit of playing at home conditions as the country is set to co-host a senior ICC event for the first time since the World Cup in 1996. "There's always pressure when you play at home in the sub-continent – whether it's India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, or Pakistan – the expectations are massive," Shastri remarked when speaking with host Sanjana Ganesan on the latest episode of The ICC Review.

"Watch This, Haters": India Vice-Captain Shubman Gill Takes Stunning Diving Catch, Sends Internet On Fire

Team India vice-captain Shubman Gill had an incredible day in the outfield in the second ODI between India and England at Cuttack. Gill took as many as three catches during England's batting, but the pick of the bunch was a stunning effort to dismiss Harry Brook. Trying to hit a slower ball by Harshit Rana, Brook did not get the perfect timing, sending it high up. However, Gill had to run a fair distance backwards before completing a diving catch, sending the crowd into raptures.
