Though Sunrisers Hyderabad have been knocked out of this IPL, Umran, who has impressed everyone with his extreme pace, could be in both the squads and in line for a Test debut in Birmingham.
Bangladesh wicket-keeper batter Mushfiqur Rahim is all set to miss the West Indies tour starting in June due to the Hajj pilgrimage. Bangladesh are likely to travel to the West Indies on June 5 and will be playing 2 Tests, 3 T20Is and as many ODIs against the host. As per ESPNCricinfo, Bangladesh Cricket Board has granted leave to the veteran batter so that he can perform Hajj. "He informed us before the Sri Lanka series that he wants to perform Hajj this year," ESPNcricinfo quotes Jalal Yunus, BCB's cricket operations chairman as saying.

Bangladesh hope that team spirit will propel them to victory in the series-deciding second Test against Sri Lanka from Monday with their four frontline bowlers all out injured. Bowlers from both teams struggled to make an impact on all five days of the drawn first Test in Chittagong. But the wicket at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium is expected to offer some assistance and no Test has been drawn at the ground since 2016.
Yuzvendra Chahal has been the go-to man for Rajasthan Royals with the ball in hand in IPL 2022, and the leg-spinner once again produced the goods, taking two wickets in the match against Chennai Super Kings on Friday night. Chahal dismissed Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni as RR restricted CSK to 150 for six despite a whirlwind knock from Moeen Ali. Courtesy the two wickets, Chahal equalled South African veteran Imran Tahir's record of most wickets taken by a spinner in a single edition of the Indian Premier League.
Umran Malik and Mohsin Khan could be rewarded for their IPL performances while old-horses Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik are likely to return to the T20 set up when the India squad is picked for the home series against South Africa on Sunday. All-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has not played for India since the T20 World Cup last year, has shown form and fitness in the IPL and is set to be included in the squad for the five-game series beginning June 9. He is finally back to bowling regularly, which was critical in his national comeback bid.
TOI has learnt that the India women's team is set to tour Sri Lanka and England to play limited overs games in the forthcoming months, besides taking part in the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The icing on the cake for Mithali Raj & Co will be a rare chance to play an ODI (final game of the tour) at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on September 24. The India women's team didn't play at Lord's during their all-format tour last year.
Bangladesh received a fresh blow on Friday when off-spinner Nayeem Hasan was ruled out of the second Test against Sri Lanka with a finger injury. The second Test in the two-Test series starts at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Monday. "Nayeem had a contusion of the right middle finger while batting and fielding in the first Test," said Bangladesh national team physio Bayzidul Islam in a statement.
