The skipper -- who led India to the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy -- has been receiving wishes from across the world. Dhoni made his India debut in December 2004 and retired from international cricket in 2020. He went on to become the most successful Indian captain and he is the only skipper to win all three ICC white-ball trophies.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah said on Friday the media rights deal for the broadcast of cricket matches involving India for the 2023-2027 cycle will be in place by August-end.

"Media rights deal will be done by August end," Shah told media in Mumbai on Friday. India will play three ODIs against Australia before the World Cup, and after the mega-event they will play five T20Is against the Kangaroos.

England's former captain Nasser Hussain seemed disappointed with the missing chances by the English team on the field against Australia in the third test match of the Ashes series. On the first day of the third test, England continued to let down with their on-field performance. Jonny Bairstow dropped catches behind the stumps of Steve Smith and Travis Head while Joe Root filed to catch Mitchell Marsh at 12 runs. Marsh then scored 118 runs in the match. Hussain told Sky Sports Cricket that dropping catches is like a "virus", it spreads through the team.
Sri Lanka maintained their unbeaten record at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier as Pathum Nissanka's hundred helped secure an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies on Friday. The Sri Lankans, who had already qualified for the tournament to be played later this year in India, bowled out the already-eliminated Windies for 243 before chasing down the target with 5.4 overs to spare. The defeat brought an end to a miserable tournament for the Caribbean side, after previous losses to Zimbabwe, the Netherlands and Scotland. "Just leave this behind us," said West Indies captain Shai Hope.
