Brendon McCullum for bolstering his self-belief after taking the first 10-wicket haul of his Test career on Sunday. Leach's 25 matches as an international cricketer have been blighted by illness -- the left-arm spinner suffers from Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel condition -- injury and inconsistent selection.
Sri Lanka are looking to inflict more pain on injury-hit Australia when the first match of a two-Test series starts on what looks certain to be a turning wicket in Galle on Wednesday. Sri Lanka secured a stunning 3-2 victory in the one-day international series last week and the hosts will count on a bowling attack packed with spinners to give them the edge in the Tests. Captain Dimuth Karunaratne will lead a side bolstered by the addition of Jeffrey Vandersay to their spin brigade of Lasith Embuldeniya, Praveen Jayawickrama and Ramesh Mendis.
The rain had reduced the series-opener to 12-overs a side contest and it could well be another shortened game considering a rather gloomy forecast for match day.
Kemar Roach became just the sixth West Indian to claim 250 Test wickets as the senior pacer swept through the top order of the Bangladesh second innings to put his team on course for victory on the third day of the second and final Test at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia on Sunday.
Hardik Pandya got off to a winning start as India captain as the tourists chased down Ireland's 108-4 to win a rain-affected T20 international by seven wickets on Sunday.
Opener Mayank Agarwal has been called up to join the Indian squad in the UK as cover for skipper Rohit Sharma, who has been rendered doubtful for the Edgbaston Test against England after testing positive for COVID-19. Rohit competed on the first day of the drawn warm-up game against Leicestershire before being placed under isolation. He had tested positive in a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT). The 31-year-old Agarwal had missed out on making the 15-man squad for the game, starting July 1, but an opportunity has come his way as KL Rahul got injured just ahead of the South Africa series and now Rohit has contracted infection.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar said he enjoyed bowling in the first T20I against Ireland on Sunday, as the new ball swung early on in favourable cold conditions here. Blistering knocks by Deepak Hooda and skipper Hardik Pandya guided the visitors to a seven-wicket win in the rain-curtailed first T20I of the two-match series, here at Malahide Cricket Club Ground. After heavy rain, the regulation 20 overs were reduced to 12 per side with revised conditions. The powerplay was from one to four overs, with only three bowlers who can bowl two overs and two bowlers who could bowl three overs.
As part of hosting India for their four-day tour game, Leicestershire showcased plenty of Indian culture through bhangra and dance to make the visitor feel more at home. And during the fourth day of the match, which ended in a draw, Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon and Phillip Defreitas - both former England internationals - joined in the celebrations with the performers. As the speakers at the Uptonsteel County Ground blared the Queen classic 'We Will Rock You', Nixon and Defreitas tried to play along with the beats on the performers' dhols.
