England have kept faith with Jonny Bairstow as the wicketkeeper retained his place in a 14-man squad for next week's fourth Test against Australia. Bairstow has endured a difficult series behind the stumps, missing eight chances in the first three Tests. There have been calls for Surrey's Ben Foakes to replace Bairstow as wicketkeeper, but captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum remain supportive of the Yorkshire player. After winning the third Test in Leeds by three wickets on Sunday to keep their Ashes hopes alive, England have named the same group for next Wednesday's clash in Manchester.
Legendary Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun made it to the South Zone squad led by Mayank Agarwal that will take part in the upcoming Deodhar Trophy inter-zonal 50-over competition scheduled in Puducherry from July 24. The top performers from each of the south zone states have got a look-in with a few like B Sai Sudharsan being kept as standby as they will be playing the Emerging Asia Cup in Colombo from July 13-23. Tendulkar junior, a left-arm fast medium bowler and a hard-hitting lower-order batter, had made his debut for Mumbai Indians in the last edition of Indian Premier League and has been called up by the BCCI for an Emerging all-rounders' camp in August.
For the first Test against West Indies that starts on Wednesday, India will see a new opening combination. India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday announced that talented youngster Shubman Gill will bat at No. 3 slot. In the past, Shubman has opened for India and has achieved much success in his 16-Test career so far. Sharma also announced that India will see a left-right opening combination. Also, two spinners will be in the XI.
Litton Das top-scored with 53 not out as Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan by seven wickets to avoid a series whitewash in Tuesday's third and final one-day international in Chittagong. The hosts raced to 129-3 in 23.3 overs after Shoriful Islam's career best 4-21 helped them bowl out Afghanistan for 126 in 45.2 overs. Tail-ender Azmatullah Omarzai offered some late resistance for Afghanistan to top-score with 56, his maiden ODI fifty. Left-arm seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi gave Afghanistan a glimmer of hope, bowling out Naim Sheikh for a duck and Najmul Hossain for 11. Liton and Shakib Al Hasan put on 61 runs for the third wicket to steady the innings and bring Bangladesh back into control.
After a month of break, the Indian cricket team gets down to action once again as they take on West Indies in the first Test of a two-match away series. While the hosts, after their shock elimination from the ODI World Cup Qualifiers would be eager to prove that they are still relevant in world cricket, the Indian team too is beset by certain challenges. Cheteshwar Pujara's much-debated exit has created a slot in the Indian top-order and the immensely talented Mumbai left-hander will hope that he lives up to his 'name' and promise that he has shown at the first-class level before being thrown at the deep end of the pool.
India's star batter KL Rahul, who is currently on the sidelines with a thigh injury that he sustained while playing for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) on Tuesday hinted his return as he posted a picture where he can be seen resting after a training session. After a successful operation on May 9 in England, Rahul reported to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru to begin his recovery. India star has hinted that he is getting close to being fully healthy, much to the pleasure of his supporters.
MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi Dhoni were in Chennai for the trailer launch of their production film, LGM, and a question from the host during the event led to a hilarious moment for the crowd. Sakshi was quizzed about his Tamil knowledge and after saying words like 'Seri' (Okay) and Poda (Go Away), she revealed that she also knows some bad words but did not disclose anything more. Dhoni, who came on the stage after some time, took the opportunity to clarify that it was not him that taught Sakshi the bad words and his reaction to the situation left everyone in splits. Dhoni has a long relationship with Chennai as he has led Chennai Super Kings to record-equalling five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles.
