India on Sunday became the first team to play 1000 One-Day Internationals. The side achieved the feat in the ongoing first ODI against West Indies here at the Narendra Modi Stadium. In the 999 ODIs played earlier, India accounts for 518 wins and 431 losses. The Men in Blue had played their 500th match in 2002 and two decades later, the side has now reached the milestone of playing 1000 ODIs.
IPL 2022 mega auction and the 10 franchises are all in readiness to vie for the players in what promises to be an action-packed bidding war, spread over two days, to pick up the best cricketing talents from around the world. The 2022 IPL auction, this time, will be held over a 2-day period on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru and a total of 590 players will be going under the hammer. And one of the keenly fought battles at the auction table will be for the foreign players. 220 short-listed overseas talents will be up for grabs. These foreign players have been picked from 14 countries which also include associate nations like Namibia, Nepal and the USA.
West Indies named a 16-member squad to be led by Kieron Pollard for the upcoming three-match T20I series in India starting February 16, the same team that faced England in the home contest. The three T20Is will be played in Kolkata on February 16, 18 and 20, following the three-match ODI Series which will be played in Ahmedabad on February 6, 9 and 11. West Indies have already named the ODI squad under Pollard.
Jason Holder shattered England's hopes of Twenty20 success on Sunday with four wickets in the final four balls to lead the West Indies to a 17-run victory in Barbados and clinch a 3-2 series win over the tourists.
West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard will lead the same 16 players taking on England now for the T20I series on the tour of India.
Kemar Roach was called up to the West Indies one-day squad for the first time in nearly two-and-half years on Wednesday with the fast bowler returning for next month's three-match series against India, Cricket West Indies said.
Just after the halfway point of their innings England, poised at a reasonable if not outstanding 64 for two, thrashed 24 runs off an over bowled by the spinner Fabian Allen. Even at the time it felt potentially decisive, but around an hour and a half later West Indies stood at a similar point in their reply, already nine runs and two wickets worse off, and needing a similar acceleration as England tossed the ball to a spinner of their own. Adil Rashid bowled a wicket maiden, Moeen Ali promptly took a couple more, and England were on their way to avenging their humiliating defeat in Saturday’s opener.
England dominated the majority of the second T20 against West Indies but ultimately won by just one run after some astonishing late hitting.
