Pakistan skipper Babar Azam became the first batter to knock three successive one-day international hundreds twice as he anchored a five-wicket win over the West Indies in Multan on Wednesday.
This weekend will see Manchester awash with giant music events across the city as artists flock to strut their stuff at venues from the Etihad Stadium to Heaton Park.
Devon Thomas, Gudakesh Motie and Anderson Phillip have been included in a 12-player West Indies squad for the first Test against Bangladesh starting June 16. Wicketkeeper-batter Thomas has played 21 one-day internationals and four Twenty20 internationals for the West Indies. Left-arm spinner Motie has played one T20 international and fast bowler Phillip is in the squad for the ODI series in Pakistan that started Wednesday.
Umran Malik is one young pacer who has garnered a lot of attention of late. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him representing the Indian cricket team. Umran picked up 22 wickets for SunRisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022 and was named in India's squad for the T20I series against South Africa, beginning Thursday at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Rishabh Pant, who will lead India in the five-match series on Wednesday said that with time, Umran will learn to control his aggression.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam played a classy knock of 103 runs in the first ODI vs West Indies to set up a strong chase for his team but he was dismissed when Pakistan were at 237 and still needed 69 more runs to win the match in just 51 deliveries. Babar's dismissal was followed close by the departures of the well-set Mohammad Rizwan and the experienced Shadab Khan.
England will aim to carry on from where they left off under their new leadership duo of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, the former New Zealand skipper, when they face the Black Caps in the second Test in Nottingham starting Friday. They are 1-0 up in this three-match series after a five-wicket victory over New Zealand at Lord's last week gave England just their second win in 18 matches at this level. Now Stuart Broad wants to gee up the crowd at Trent Bridge, his home ground, just as he did in changing the momentum at Lord's, when New Zealand lost three wickets in three balls to spark a collapse of six for 34 on the third day. Daryl Mitchell (108) and Tom Blundell (96) had shared a partnership of 195 to leave New Zealand, the World Test champions, well-placed. But Broad, returning alongside James Anderson after England's all-time leading Test wicket-takers were controversially left out of a series loss in the Caribbean, got his team back into the game as he waved his arms at spectators.
Former South African Under-19 seamer Mondli Khumalo is making an excellent recovery following head injuries he sustained in a brutal attack in the UK two weeks ago.
New Zealand paceman Kyle Jamieson said the tourists were making fresh plans to combat star batsman Joe Root as they bid to draw level in their three-Test series away to England. The Black Caps, the reigning World Test champions, are 1-0 down in a three-match series heading into the second Test at Trent Bridge, starting on Friday And that's mainly because former England captain Root made an unbeaten hundred to guide the hosts to a five-wicket win in the first Test at Lord's completed on Sunday. That fourth-innings knock of 115 not out also catapulted Root back to number two in the latest edition of the International Cricket Council's Test batting rankings published Wednesday. Root remains just behind Australia's Marnus Labuschagne, but three places above New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, and could go into top spot if he is in the runs again in Nottingham this week.
