Dubbed one of the world's top limited-over batters, former cricketer Michael Bevan has been elevated to Australia's Cricket Hall of Fame. "One of the best finishers the game has ever seen. Congratulations to former Australian player Michael Bevan on his induction to the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame," Cricket Australia wrote on X.

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan took a subtle dig at the England team after India shattered records at Wankhede to secure a resounding 150-run victory over the touring side. In the final game of the enticing five-match series, India broke the shackles to script an emphatic win over England, concluding the series on a high note. The five-match affair saw a couple of heated remarks from current and former English players. After India cruised to a comfortable 7-wicket victory in the series opener at Eden Gardens, Harry Brook made a comment that triggered India fans and forced a reaction from former cricketers.
India pacer Harshit Rana replacing Shivam Dube as a concussion substitute in the 4th T20I against England raised a few eyebrows, with experts suggesting that it was not a like-for-like replacement. Dube, a part-time medium seam bowler, scored a half-century in the first innings, was struck on the head by Jamie Overton off the penultimate delivery of India's innings. India then effectively used the concussion protocol to field Harshit in place of Dube, who bowls at speeds in the early 120 km/h range.
UP Warriorz on Monday drafted in Chinelle Henry as a replacement for injured Alyssa Healy for the upcoming edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL). Healy was ruled out of the third season of the WPL due to a foot injury. "Unfortunately for me, I've got a couple of months of feet up. I'm pretty bummed by that, but at the same time elated to have a little bit of downtime and try and get my body right,” said Healy, who captained Australia in the recent Women's Ashes match against England at Melbourne.
Bangladesh Premier League franchise Durbar Rajshahi has become the latest talking point in the world of cricket. A report has revealed that the franchise is yet to pay the fees of its foreign players and staff members. Rajshahi owner Shafiq Rahman, earlier, announced that the tickets have been booked for the foreign cricketers to return to their respective countries. However, due to the failure in the clearance of dues, many big names are left stranded in the team hotel in Dhaka.
As the debate around Harshit Rana being used as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube rages on, India head coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about his views on the controversy after the conclusion of the 5th T20I between India and England on Sunday. Gambhir, who didn't utter a single word on the row after the 4th T20I, gave a brilliant reply which ended up shutting down Kevin Pietersen, who was quite critical of the match referee's decision after the previous match.
