The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) lifted an international match ban on Yorkshire County Cricket Club on Friday subject to further requirements, in the wake of a racism scandal involving former player Azeem Rafiq.
With a 96-run victory in the third and final ODI in Ahmedabad on Friday, India completed a first ever ODI series whitewash win over the West Indies. India rode on fifties from Shreyas Iyer (80) and Rishabh Pant (56) to post a total of 265 from 50 overs on Friday. In response, the hosts bowled out the West Indies for 169, with Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna both picking three wickets each. Deepak Chahar and Kuldeep Yadav both bagged two wickets each.
England cricket chiefs lifted a ban on Yorkshire staging international matches on Friday following the club's handling of a racism scandal that rocked the game.
Rohit Sharma's tenure as India ODI captain began with a 3-0 demolition of the West Indies after the impressive hosts put up an all-round performance to win the third game by 96 runs on Friday. Shreyas Iyer's responsible 80 coupled with Rishabh Pant's aggressive 56 powered India to a challenging 265 in the inconsequential fixture. The hosts then shot out their opponents for 169 in 37.1 overs as the visitors continued their dismal batting show. With one eye on the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Indian team management gained plenty of positives from their experiments in the third-match series including the emergence of pacer Prasidh Krishna as the strike bowler. He ended with nine wickets in the series.
Yorkshire staging international matches on Friday following the club's handling of a racism scandal that rocked the game. Former player Azeem Rafiq accused Yorkshire of failing to deal adequately with the abuse he suffered at the northern county, saying he had been driven to thoughts of suicide.
Josh Hazlewood took 4-12 on his return from a long injury layoff as world champions Australia began the post-Justin Langer era with a comfortable 20-run T20 victory over Sri Lanka in Sydney on Friday. Langer was always going to miss the five-match series, opting to rest after a long stint on the road, but his shock resignation last weekend cast a shadow over the lead up. With interim coach Andrew McDonald at the helm, Australia were restricted to 149 for nine in their first T20 since winning the World Cup in November. But top-class bowling from Hazlewood, Pat Cummins (1-32) and Adam Zampa (3-18) denied the visitors, who were chasing 143 to win after one over was lost to rain.
West Indies all-rounder Odean Smith displayed his big-hitting ability on the eve of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) mega auction on Friday in the third ODI against India in Ahmedabad. Smith hit three sixes and three fours in a 18-ball 36-run blistering knock. With India closing in on victory, Smith went on the attack and showed what he is capable of with the bat, just a day ahead of the IPL mega auction, which will be held in Bengaluru on Saturday and Sunday.
