Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) said it will take a "tougher stance" on the behaviour of its members and introduce measures to protect players at Lord's after the Australian team were verbally abused during the second Ashes test against England.
Bangladesh ODI captain and one of their most accomplished all format cricketers Tamim Iqbal on Thursday announced his retirement with immediate effect, just three months ahead of the 50-over World Cup in India. The 34-year-old left-handed batter made the shock announcement a day after his team lost the opening ODI against Afghanistan here. "This is the end for me. I have given my best. I have tried my best. I am retiring from international cricket from this moment," said Iqbal.
Pakistan are ready to take on any side at any venue in India during this year's World Cup, skipper Babar Azam said Thursday as the team awaited government approval to participate in the tournament. Pakistan are drawn to play India at Ahmedabad's 132,000-capacity Narendra Modi stadium on October 15 -- the first time they will meet on either's home turf since 2012. The neighbours are bitter political adversaries and usually only meet in international tournaments at neutral venues, most recently during the T20 World Cup in Australia last year. The Pakistan Cricket Board wrote to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the interior and foreign ministries this week asking for formal permission to take part in the tournament.
Mitchell Marsh's run-a-ball 118 was the cornerstone of Australia's 263 all out on the first day of the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Thursday after the tourists collapsed either side of his blistering century. England fast bowler Mark Wood took 5-34 as the hosts backed up captain Ben Stokes' decision to send Australia into bat on a green-tinged pitch after winning the toss. Australia skipper Pat Cummins then reduced England to 22-2 before all-rounder Marsh, playing his first Test in nearly four years, had Zak Crawley (33) well caught at first slip by David Warner in the latest example of the tourists' superior fielding. At stumps, England were 68-3 -- a deficit of 195 runs -- with Joe Root 19 not out and Jonny Bairstow one not out on their Yorkshire home ground.
A high-octane day of Test cricket saw England blow Australia away for 263, only for the tourists to reduce the home side to 68 for 3 at stumps on day one at Headingley. After winning the toss, England captain Ben Stokes had no hesitation in asking Australia to bat first.
SILVERSTONE, England : Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton said he would support a peaceful protest at the British Grand Prix this weekend as Formula One drivers voiced fears of environmental activists invading the track.
India will take on Netherlands in their final ICC World Cup 2023 group stage match in Bengaluru on November 11 after the latter became the final side to book their spot in the competition. Bas de Leede was the star performer on Thursday as Netherlands defeated Scotland by four wickets. Earlier, Sri Lanka was the first side to qualify for the World Cup and they will face hosts India at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on November 2. The match has already been attracting a lot of fanfare on social media as it will be a repeat of the 2011 World Cup final which India won to clinch their first ODI World Cup since 1983.
"This is going to be wild," laughed Australia cricket fan Joel Guy as he stepped into the Headingley bear pit on Thursday for the latest chapter of an increasingly bitter Ashes series. From an hour before play, England fans in Leeds, northern England, were champing at the bit to let Australia's players know how they felt about the incident on the final day of the second Test at Lord's on Sunday that brought a previously good-natured series to boiling point.
