MELBOURNE : The Gabba will not host an Ashes series-opener in Australia for the first time in more than four decades after Cricket Australia confirmed Perth as the venue for the first test of the 2025-26 series on Wednesday.
Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the first Test against Bangladesh due to an arm injury.
The start of the Test series between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru is all but set to leave a bitter taste in the mouths of both teams and their fans. Bengaluru has been hit with incessant rains over the past few days, resulting in water-logging across the city, hurting the day-to-day activities. India and New Zealand's practice sessions over the last couple of days have also been impacted severely. As the two teams prepare for the opening day of the series opener on Wednesday, rain threat looms large on the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.
England batter Joe Root adopted a unique strategy to pick wickets as England were asked to bowl after Pakistan won the toss in the second Test in Multan. After spinner Jack Leach picked up two wickets in the opening session, Pakistan settled into their innings thanks to half-centuries by Saim Ayub and Kamran Ghulam. At this point, Root thought of a rather interesting way to shine the ball, in order to provide some assistance to Leach, Shoaib Bashir and the rest of the English attack.
Team India will tour Australia later this year to play five Tests Down Under. This will be the first time since the 1991-92 season that the two heavyweights will meet over 5 Tests in a tour. India won back-to-back Test series in Australia, including their last trip Down Under in 2020-21. The Indian team, led by Virat Kohli back then, played three ODIs, as many T20Is, and two three-day practice matches before the Test series. However, the preparation will be a bit different in the lead up to the five-match series.
Pakistan cricket team batter Kamran Ghulam impressed everyone on debut as he slammed a gritty century on Day 1 of the second Test match against England on Tuesday. Ghulam looked at ease against the England bowlers and he ended up scoring 118 off 224 deliveries with the help of 11 fours and 1 six. The 29-year-old replaced Babar Azam in the starting XI after the former Pakistan captain was dropped following a dismal run. Following the ton, Babar took to social media to congratulate Ghulam on his achievement as he wrote on his Instagram story - "Well done Kamran".
India vs New Zealand Live Streaming 1st Test Live Telecast: Rohit Sharma-led India look to book their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final as they face New Zealand in the first Test encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru starting Wednesday. A clean sweep for the Indian cricket team in the three-match Test series will more or less guarantee their spot in the WTC Final. India are coming to the series on the back of solid performances in the series against Bangladesh. Both batters and bowlers performed well as the hosts clinched the series 2-0.
West Indies defeated England by six wickets as Hayley Matthews' side joined South Africa in advancing from Group B at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Chasing a target of 142, openers Hayley Matthews (50) and Qiana Joseph (52) launched a blistering assault, both scoring half-centuries. A rattled England dropped several chances, and their four wickets came too late to stop the West Indies from sealing the victory with two overs to spare. Earlier, a brilliant performance from Nat Sciver-Brunt had set West Indies a target of 142. England had been reduced to 34/3, with Deandra Dottin starring in the field.
