INDORE, India : Steve Smith knows how difficult it is to win a test in India so Australia's stand-in captain was thrilled to bits after guiding his team to a nine-wicket victory in the third test in Indore on Friday.
Sharks flyhalf Curwin Bosch has been handed the captain's armband for Saturday's URC coastal derby against the Stormers in Cape Town.
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik was at the receiving end of a bizarre dismissal in a Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 match against the Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi. Malik, while playing for Karachi Kings, attempted a pull shot off a short delivery from Aamer Jamal in a recent match. However, the bat flew off his hand. At almost the same time the ball hit the bat too, as the bowler coolly lapped the ball to get Malik's wicket.
Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has advised India skipper Rohit Sharma and the team management to back underfire player KL Rahul. It is worth noting that Rahul is going through a lean patch with the bat and that saw him being dropped for the third Test against Australia. The player who was part of the first two matches could score only 38 runs across three innings. Shubman Gill, who is having a good run with the bat currenly, has replaced him in the playing XI. However, Clarke is of the opinion that the team management should have shown more faith in the player.
Australia's World Cup-winning skipper Meg Lanning will lead Delhi Capitals (DC) in the inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) while India's star batter Jemimah Rodrigues will be her deputy, the franchise announced on Thursday. Lanning, 30, recently captained Australia to their record sixth title win in the T20 Women's World Cup, where they beat hosts South Africa in the title clash. Lanning is the third Australian cricketer to be named captain by WPL teams with Beth Mooney set to skipper Gujarat Giants and Alyssa Healy taking charge of the UP Warriorz.
Mumbai Indians (MI) on Wednesday announced star Indian batter and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur as the captain of its women's team ahead of the inaugural season of Women's Premier League (WPL). She recently became the first cricketer to play 150 T20Is and has been a pillar for the national team for over a decade now across formats, since making her debut at the age of 20. The national team captain, who is an Arjuna Awardee, has a solid winning record, and also holds the record for the highest-ever individual score in a knockout game in a Women's World Cup match (171*).
A Perth cancer fighter has thanked St Johnstone skipper Liam Gordon from the bottom of his heart after receiving a special video message.
Bismah Maroof has stepped down as Pakistan women's cricket team captain, ending a nearly six-year stint of leading the side. Maroof's last assignment as captain was the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa where the team failed to make it to the semi-final, losing three of the four group games, including a thriller against arch-rivals India. The 31-year-old had played a pivotal role in guiding Pakistan to a competitive 149 in the T20 World Cup, remaining unbeaten at 68 runs. But India overhauled the target with six balls to spare to win by seven wickets.
