MELBOURNE: England captain Jos Buttler declined to appeal against Australia's Matthew Wade for obstructing the field in the series-opening T20 match in Perth on Sunday (Oct 9) but said he might be less forgiving in the upcoming World Cup.
India's stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan received a bonus at the time of the toss as his South African counterpart, Keshav Maharaj, opted to bat first after winning the coin toss. The decision turned out to be a brutal one for the Proteas who struggled to control the flow of runs when the Indians came out to bat in the evening. After the match, Dhawan cheekily thanked Maharaj for opting to bat first, admitting that things could've been more difficult for India if they were made to bowl second.

Pakistan twice in five months to play two Test matches, eight one-day internationals and five Twenty20 internationals, the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Monday. The two Test matches, which will be part of the World Test Championship, will be played at Karachi from December 27-31 and Multan from January 4-8. Karachi will also host the three ODIs from January 11-15 as part of ICC World Cup Super League. New Zealand will return to Pakistan in April and will play four Twenty20s at Karachi from April 13-19. Lahore will host the fifth T20 and two ODIs from April 23-28 and the remaining three ODIs will be played at Rawalpindi from May 1-7. New Zealand aborted its tour to Pakistan last year just hours before the first ODI in Rawalpindi because of an undisclosed security concern. Ramiz Raja, the PCB chairman, said at the time it was "frustrating" to see the Black Caps walking out of the tour by taking a unilateral approach and not sharing the security threat with Pakistan.

Jos Buttler declined to appeal against Australia's Matthew Wade for obstructing the field in the series-opening T20 match in Perth on Sunday but said he might be less forgiving in the upcoming World Cup. The match was delicately poised with Australia needing 39 off 23 balls to win when Wade top-edged a short ball from Mark Wood into his helmet. The ball careened into the air and Wood ran down to Wade's end to attempt a catch but the Australian wicketkeeper-batsman stuck an arm out to impede him.
