With the retirement of England's all-rounder, Ben Stokes from ODIs, the future of the 50-over format has been widely debated, and with the Future Tours Programme (FTP) for the upcoming cycle to be published within the coming days, one can speculate on how many 50-over matches will be present. However, ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice along with chairman Greg Barclay attended a video conference on Wednesday and made it clear that a healthy number of ODIs will be played in the upcoming FTP.
New Zealand opening batter Martin Guptill on Wednesday became the highest run-getter in men's T20Is as he played a knock of 40 runs in the first T20I against Scotland. During the course of this innings, Guptill surpassed India skipper Rohit Sharma, who has 3379 runs, to achieve this big milestone in the shortest format of the game. The right-handed Guptill now has 3,399 runs in T20Is, 20 runs more than Sharma.
Sri Lankan century-maker Dhananjaya de Silva warned on Wednesday that they needed early Pakistan wickets on the final day of the second Test with bad weather looming. Tourists Pakistan, who are chasing a record 508 for victory in Galle or need to bat out three sessions for a draw, were 89-1 when bad light stopped play on day four. Left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq was on 46 and skipper Babar Azam on 26. The arrival of rain confirmed a second consecutive early finish, keeping alive Pakistan's hopes of a draw -- and with it victory in the two-match series, which they lead 1-0.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly's name might be doing the rounds for ICC chairmanship but current incumbent Gregor Barclay on Wednesday did not rule out the possibility of continuing for another two-year term if he gets member's support. New Zealander Barclay's term ends in November and ICC is likely to have a new chairman if he relinquishes his post without seeking a second two-year term. During a virtual media interaction with journalists from his Birmingham base after the ICC Annual Conference, Barclay gave an open-ended answer to a question on his continuation.
The Asia Cup, scheduled to begin on August 27, has been moved from Sri Lanka to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Asian Cricket Council announced on Wednesday.

"Considering the prevailing situation in Sri Lanka, the ACC after extensive deliberation has unanimously concluded that it would be appropriate to relocate the tournament from Sri Lanka to the UAE," the ACC said in a statement. "Every effort was made to host the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and the decision to shift the venue to the UAE was taken after much deliberation. The UAE will be the new venue while Sri Lanka will continue to retain hosting rights," ACC president Jay Shah was quoted as saying.
