Fast bowler Mark Wood will take James Anderson's spot in the England squad for next week's second test against West Indies at Trent Bridge, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Saturday.
Tearaway pacer Mark Wood has been added to England's squad for the second Test against West Indies, starting at Trent Bridge on Thursday. Wood comes in after veteran pacer James Anderson retired from international cricket following England's crushing win over West Indies by an innings and 114 runs at Lord's. Wood's last Test appearance came against India at Dharamshala in March and didn't play the first Test at Lord's due to him recently featuring for England in the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup in the West Indies last month. England are having a 1-0 lead in the ongoing three-match Test series against the West Indies.
Former England pacer Stuart Broad said that though he could have played for a couple of years more, he wanted to finish at the top and has no regrets in his career. Broad retired from international cricket after the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval earlier this year, with 604 Test wickets in 167 matches and overall 847 international wickets in 344 matches.
The Netherlands defeated South Africa by 38 runs at the Cricket World Cup on Tuesday, beating a Test-playing nation at the tournament for the first time. Chasing 246 to win from a rain-reduced 43 overs after Dutch captain Scott Edwards made a crucial 78 not out, South Africa, one of the tournament favourites, were bowled out for 207 in the shadow of the Himalayas. In November last year, the Dutch sent South Africa crashing of the T20 World Cup in Australia. The victory was the World Cup's second major shock in three days after Afghanistan defeated defending champions England on Sunday.
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club has announced that it will rename the Pavilion End at Trent Bridge after Stuart Broad who retired from international cricket this year. The honour will commemorate Englsnd's bowler on the global stage, with the seamer having claimed 604 Test scalps – the fifth most in the format's history, behind only Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, James Anderson and Anil Kumble.
The Pavilion End at Trent Bridge will be renamed the Stuart Broad End to recognise one of England's greatest bowlers who retired earlier this year after the Ashes series.
Ben Duckett’s dashing maiden ODI century after an astonishing early blitz from Phil Salt was negated by the elements as England’s summer ended in soggy fashion against Ireland at Bristol.
Harry Tector reflected ruefully about Ireland's absence from the World Cup, admitting it will be a "tough watch" but the batter insisted the squad cannot complain about missing out.
