Saqib Mahmood said he is relishing the opportunity of earning his first Test cap in the upcoming tour of the West Indies after James Anderson and Stuart Broad were both left out of the squad. Fast bowlers Anderson and Broad, who have taken a combined 1,177 wickets in Test cricket, were not selected in England's 16-player squad for the three-Test series which begins on March 8 in Antigua. Mahmood, who has picked up 14 wickets in one-day internationals at an average of 19.92, has a chance to feature in the Test team's new-look attack which could include Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood.
Staring at another series defeat, a struggling India will welcome the return of star opener Smriti Mandhana for the third women's ODI against New Zealand here on Friday.

Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on Thursday said that a lot of hard work went behind the scenes to get Ranji Trophy back on track. India's premier red-ball domestic tournament Ranji Trophy resumed after a hiatus of two years on Thursday. "Have been eagerly waiting for this day as India Cricket's premier domestic tournament, the #RanjiTrophy returns. A lot of effort has gone behind the scenes to get our first-class cricket back on track, and it is now time to let red-ball take centre stage. Good luck, everyone," Jay Shah tweeted.
Cricket Australia on Thursday appointed Lachlan Henderson as the new chairman of the board, replacing interim chair Richard Freudenstein.

Australian opening batter David Warner has a new home in the Indian Premier League. The former Sunrisers Hyderabad captain was bought in the IPL mega auction by Delhi Capitals for Rs 6.25 crore and that brings the curtains down on his long stint with SRH. Warner, who had led the franchise to the IPL title, fell out with the team management last season, which saw him getting stripped off captaincy too. New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson was handed the duty mid-season. The Kiwi batter had shouldered the responsibility in the 2018 season too, when Warner was serving a ban due to his involvement in the 'Sandpapergate' controversy, and taken the team to the final.
