James Anderson has suffered a "mild strain to his right groin" just a month before the Ashes get underway, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced late Sunday. The 40-year-old Anderson, the most successful fast bowler in Test history with 685 wickets, sustained the injury on Thursday's opening day of Lancashire's County Championship match against Somerset at Old Trafford and took no further part in a match that ended in a draw on Sunday. The ECB added Anderson's fitness will be assessed nearer the time of the lone Test Test against Ireland at Lord's starting on June 1.

A debate over the Asia Cup 2023 that was set to be hosted by Pakistan has become a hot topic. The controversy started with the Indian team refusing to travel to the Asian nation amid the deteriorating relationship between the two countries. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was forced to propose an alternative after the BCCI expressed its disapproval to send the Indian team to the neighbouring nation for the continental cricket event. Reacting to India's stance, former Pakistan skipper and wicketkeeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed has said that the Rohit Sharma-led side should come to the nation for the Asia Cup.

While Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf were picked by Welsh Fire, Babar went unsold, having entered the draft with a reserve price of 100,000 british pounds (approx. Rs 8.2 lakh).
