Renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle feels that New Zealand missing out on a fifth bowler in their playing XI could hinder them in the World Cup semi-final clash against India at Wankhede. Bhogle expressed his concern about the lack of depth in New Zealand's bowling, while Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson head up an impressive pace trio and Mitchell Santner has established himself as an accomplished spinner, Bhogle questions whether the Blackcaps can afford to make an attempt to obtain 10 overs of bowling from the likes of all-rounders Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra.
An emotional David Willey has revealed that he felt like a "third wheel" in England's changing room for being the only player in their World Cup squad not having a central contract. The pacer, who is performing at his best right now and grabbed three wickets against Pakistan on Saturday, added that his retirement decision was final. Having been denied a central contract for the 2023-24 season, 'player of the match' Willey announced his retirement after reaching 100 ODI wickets.
Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid became the center of attraction during the team's Cricket World Cup 2023 match against the Netherlands for his priceless reaction.

In a heart-warming gesture, Afghanistan's opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz was spotted helping the needy people on the side of the street in Ahmedabad at 3 am. The video of Gurbaz went viral on social media with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) -- the team he plays for in the Indian Premier League -- also sharing the clip. The Afghanistan star could be seen giving money to the needy people, who were sleeping on the side of the street. "From working tirelessly to raise money for the victims of the Herat Earthquake in Afghanistan earlier this month, to this act of kindness in a foreign land - you inspire us all. God bless you, jaani," wrote KKR while sharing the video.
Suryakumar Yadav became the latest recipient of the 'Fielder of the Match' award for his exceptional efforts against the Netherlands as India ended the group stage unbeaten. Surya barely had any time to make an impact with the bat, but on the field, he stood out and made his presence felt. India's fielding coach T Dilip, who has brought memorable innovations to how the prize is awarded, called the team as well as the management out on the field and revealed the name of the contenders on the big screen instead of displaying it on the usual screen.
Former India cricketers Virender Sehwag and Diana Edulji were inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame on Monday along with former Sri Lanka star Aravinda de Silva. Sehwag was a terror for bowlers during his playing days because of his attacking approach. He played a crucial role in providing flying starts to India, be it in ODIs or in Test Cricket. On the other hand, Edulji played a crucial role as a trailblazer for women's cricketers in India for many decades.
Ahead of their World Cup semifinals against New Zealand, Indian left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav on Sunday said Wankhede remains a tough venue for bowlers, and the hosts would require early wickets to get on top of the Kiwis. India will face New Zealand in the last four match in Mumbai on Wednesday. “It is a difficult venue to bowl. The bounce is true and batsmen often dominate there. Unlike in T20, of course, the bowlers have plenty of time to come back into the game," said Kuldeep after India defeated the Netherlands by 160 runs to finish their league engagements on an all-win note.
