Ben Stokes should lead England's Test team, say former captains

England captains Michael Vaughan and Nasser Hussain have thrown their support behind all-rounder Ben Stokes to become the team's Test captain after Joe Root stepped down.

IPL 2022: Umran Malik's role is to run in and express himself, says SRH coach Tom Moody

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) speedster Umran Malik has been the talk of the town for his lightening fast deliveries, and the team's head coach Tom Moody said the young Jammu and Kashmir player has been given the license "to run in and express himself" with the ball. The 22-year-old from Srinagar has consistently bowled deliveries clocking 145 to 150 km per hour this IPL. He bowled the fastest delivery in the IPL history with the one clocking 153.1 km/hour against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. But he has leaked quite a lot of runs too -- 173 in five matches so far for five wickets at an economy of 9.61. But Moody is not worried, saying "there is going to be a higher economy" due to his style of bowling.
