"They were laughing, singing and crying together. It was special but emotionally draining," Bishan Bedi's wife Anju summed up the former India cricketer's reunion with old friend and former Pakistan captain Intikhab Alam at Kartarpur Sahib. The 76-year-old spin great from India had been longing to making the trip across the border ever since the Kartarpur Corridor opened in November 2019 and pay his respects at the final resting place of Guru Nanak.
Cricket South Africa on Thursday announced the schedule, with the first two games in Bloemfontein on January 27 and January 29 and the final match at Kimberley on February 1.

After clinching the T20I series 2-1, India are currently taking on South Africa in the first ODI in Lucknow.

Shadrul Thakur struck twice to dismiss Malan and Temba Bavuma, while Kuldeep Yadav castled Aiden Markram on a duck.

In a video that has surfaced on social media, Dhoni and Tendulkar could be seen posing for pictures over a game of tennis.
England's women's rugby players can use the Lionesses for inspiration as they seek global domination according to 2014 World Cup winner Maggie Alphonsi. The flanker was the headline act when England claimed the title seven years ago and the Red Roses are now overwhelming favourites to lift the trophy in the tournament that kicks off in New Zealand this week.
