During the latest episode of Club Prairie Fire podcast, Yuvraj recalled that he was dating an actress who also happened to be shooting in Australia at that time. The legendary all-rounder revealed that the stressful series led to a dramatic series of events for him. Although he asked her to not meet him for some time as he needed to focus on the game, she travelled to Canberra to meet him and that led to a hilarious incident involving the cricketer.

England batter Harry Brook has developed a habit of getting into trouble with fans on social media. After England lost the first ODI against Australia, Brook gave open invitation to trolls by suggesting that he "doesn't care" if he gets caught while trying to go for a maximum. England went on to lose that match, and Brook became target on the internet, thanks to his remarks. However, after leading England to a victory in the third ODI with a century, the team's stand-in skipper has clarified his comments after the series opener.

Once the BCCI makes a formal decision on the number of retentions, we will have a clear picture,” CSK sources told The Indian Express.
Australian cricket team all-rounder Mitchell Marsh said that he wishes India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant was 'Australian'. In an interaction ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Test series, Marsh was all praise for Pant whom he called a 'ripping bloke' and described him as someone who 'loves winning'. “He's a ripping bloke. I wish he was Australian. He's obviously been through a lot over the last few years, and it's been a hell of a comeback. He's a positive guy, still really young, and he loves winning. He's highly competitive for someone who has the persona of being relaxed and always laughing and smiling. He's got that big smile,” Marsh told Star Sports.
Bangladesh's senior all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has announced his retirement from T20Is while also expressing his desire to retire from Test cricket at the end of the home series against South Africa in Mirpur next month. The 37-year-old all-rounder made the announcement on Thursday, ahead of his team's second Test against India at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. “This is the right time to bring in new players. It's the same vision for T20Is as well. I have spoken to the chief selector and the BCB president and we all felt that this was the right time to move on and allow new players to come up the ranks,” Shakib told reporters.
Going has gotten tough for KL Rahul, but the veteran batter hasn't yet found a way to get going. Already out of India's T20I scheme, Rahul is staring at elimination from the Test squad too, owing to repeated poor shows. In Chennai, Rahul struggled to get his bat to do the talking in the first innings and when he came out to bat in the second innings, skipper Rohit Sharma's declaration decision was right around the corner. Ahead of the second Test between India and Bangladesh, Rahul has reportedly been issued a warning from the team management.
