Kiran More showered praise on Gujarat Titans' captain Hardik Pandya, saying that the star all-rounder has now become a "four-dimensional" cricketer. Ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, the new franchise, Gujarat Titans picked Hardik via the draft and named him captain of the side. However, there were doubts over his bowling fitness as well as captaincy skills, given that he had led only once in senior cricket previously.
The returning James Anderson and debutant Matty Potts starred for England as they bowled New Zealand out for just 132 in the first Test of a new era under the new head coach and captain combination of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.
As they prepared to bowl their opening deliveries at the start of England’s home summer of 2022, both James Anderson and Stuart Broad received generous applause at Lord’s. Nothing new about that, of course, only this time felt a little different: the greeting seemed like an endorsement - and a repudiation, therefore, of England’s two highest wicket-takers being dropped from the tour of the West Indies in March.
Lasith Malinga their "bowling strategy coach" on Thursday for the eight one-day matches against Australia starting next week. Sri Lanka Cricket said the 38-year-old's expertise and experience would be crucial for the three T20 matches and five one-day internationals to be played in Colombo and Kandy.
Jack Leach has withdrawn from England's first Test match of the summer after displaying concussion symptoms following a dive to save the ball from the boundary.

Liam Livingstone's power-hitting prowess was on full show in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The England batter, who played for Punjab Kings, attained a massive strike-rate of 182.08 on way to scoring 427 runs in 14 games. He has continued that form in the T20 Vitality Blast in England. On Wednesday, playing for Lancashire against Derbyshire in Manchester, Livingstone hit five sixes and five fours to score 75 off just 40 deliveries. Courtesy his impactful batting, the Dane Vilas-led Lancashire reached a massive total of 219/6 in 20 overs and eventually registered a 17-run win.
Ben Stokes has said Brendon McCullum was already making England's players "feel 10 feet tall" ahead of the first Test against the coach's native New Zealand at Lord's starting Thursday. The series opener of a three-match contest will be England's first since new Test captain Stokes, himself born in New Zealand but brought up in Cumbria, in England's northwest, succeeded Joe Root as skipper. It will also be England's first game following the appointment of former New Zealand captain McCullum as their Test coach, with the new leadership duo bidding to revive the fortunes of a team who have won just one of their last 17 matches at this level and gone over 12 months without a red-ball series victory. They now face a New Zealand side that under Kane Williamson, McCullum's successor as captain, became the inaugural World Test champions by defeating India in the final at Southampton last year, shortly after they completed a 1-0 campaign triumph away to England. For all the talk of a fresh start, England had just one debutant in fast bowler Matthew Potts when they named a familiar-looking XI on Wednesday.
