ODI of the England tour. According to BCCI sources, veteran India woman cricketer Jhulan Goswami is set to play her farewell match against England at Lord's. The third and final ODI on 24th September could be her last international appearance.
South Africa defeated England by an innings and 12 runs on Friday to win the Lord's Test and as a result, the side consolidated their spot at the top of World Test Championship standings. As things stand right now, South Africa and Australia are at the top two spots in the standings. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has said that it would be very hard for these two to not make the final of the competition, slated to be played at Lord's Cricket Ground next year.
Veteran India seamer Jhulan Goswami will be retiring from international cricket after the third and final ODI against England, slated to be played on September 24 at Lord's Cricket Ground, sources told NDTV. Jhulan on Friday was named in the ODI squad for the upcoming series against England. It is important to note that Jhulan was rested after the 2022 ODI World Cup and she did not play the ODI series against Sri Lanka.
England batter Alex Hales, wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings, West Indies bowler Sheldon Cottrell and Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga were among overseas signees revealed by Desert Vipers for the inaugural edition of United Arab Emirates (UAE) Cricket's International League T20 on Friday.

The franchise has appointed former Australian all-rounder Tom Moody and former England wicket-keeper batter James Foster as their Director of Cricket and head coach respectively.
Sri Lanka Friday named a 20-man squad led by Dasun Shanaka for the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament starting later this month in the United Arab Emirates. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka, but shifted to the UAE due to political turmoil and the economic crisis in the cricket-crazy island nation.
South Africa hammered England by an innings and 12 runs in the first Test of their three-match series at the iconic Lord's in London. South Africa's bowlers blew the Englishmen away as the Dean Elgar-led side wrapped up proceedings inside three days. With the win, South Africa have consolidated their position atop the World Test Championship points table. With six wins in eight matches in the current cycle, the Proteas have 72 points and a points percentage of 75. England, with 31.37 percentage of points won, remain 7th, with their already bleak hopes of reaching the final getting even bleaker.
India will be in England on a two-week white-ball tour that comprises six white-ball games -- three WT20Is and three WODIs. The T20I matches will be held in Hove (September 10), Derby (September 13) and Bristol (September 15) while the ODIs are scheduled at Hove (September 18), Canetrbury (September 21) and the Lord's (September 24). Goswami, who will be 40 in three months time, had last played for India at the ODI World Cup in New Zealand in March against Bangladesh.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday announced the squads for India Women's T20I and ODI series in England. Notably, veteran seamer Jhulan Goswami has returned to the ODI squad after being rested in India's last outing in the format against Sri Lanka. Jemimah Rodrigues has also been named in both squads, although she was ruled out of the ongoing season of The Hundred with injury. The three-match T20I series will begin on September 10, while the ODI series will begin on September 18.
