Captain of the senior men’s cricket national team, Yellow Greens, believes the just-concluded T20 Continent Cup in Kigali, Rwanda has helped the team improve in different aspects of the game ahead of the final phase of the 2026 T20 World Cup qualifiers, which will be played next year.
One of India's finest cricketers of this generation, Ravichandran Ashwin stunned the sporting world with his abrupt retirement announcement after the end of the third Test against Australia in Brisbane. Ashwin, who bows out as India's second-highest wicket-taker across formats, didn't even get to feature in a farewell game, as he decided it was time for him to say goodbye to the international stage. While many theories have emerged behind Ashwin's exit, former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Subramaniam Badrinath has claimed that the spinner was unhappy for quite some time.
Australian cricket's domestic One-Day Cup was Friday renamed the Dean Jones Trophy to honour a pioneer of the 50-over game. Jones, who died of a heart attack in India in 2020 aged 59, was one of Australia's greatest ODI players. He scored 6,068 runs across 164 appearances in the format, which he was widely credited with revolutionising with his attacking approach. "He was a World Cup winner, an innovator and possessed one of the best records in 50-over cricket for the era that he played," said Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley.
Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir welcomed the hybrid model of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to be hosted by Pakistan, noting that even if the Indian-Pakistan match "happens on the moon, fans will find a way". In an exclusive interview with Cricket Predicta, Amir also said that the governing body of the sport acted lazily on the matter of the Champions Trophy, saying that the deadlock should have been resolved sooner. In the first major decision under the chairmanship of Jay Shah, the International Cricket Council (ICC) finally put an end to the Champions Trophy 2025 hosting rights issue, deciding that the upcoming event will be played in Pakistan along with another neutral venue. Also, the hybrid model has been decided for all ICC events in the 2024-27 cycle which will be held in India or Pakistan.
Jaker Ali's blistering unbeaten 72 highlighted a dominant Bangladesh effort as the visitors thrashed the West Indies by 80 runs in the third and final T20 International to sweep the series 3-0 at the Arnos Vale Stadium in St Vincent on Thursday. Benefiting from a huge reprieve when he thought he had been run out on 18, the attacking right-hander took heavy toll of an uninspired Caribbean team, belting six sixes and three fours off just 41 balls to pace his side to a challenging 189 for seven after skipper Litton Das opted to bat first.
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has brushed aside Prithvi Shaw's emotional outburst after his exclusion from the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad, asserting that the temperamental batter has flouted disciplinary norms regularly and is "his own enemy". A senior official of the MCA, while talking to PTI, claimed that the side was at times "forced to hide" him on the field due to his poor fitness, discipline and attitude. Shaw had expressed his frustration at not being picked in the 16-member squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy in a viral social media post some days ago after being a part of the side's title-winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign.
The Australian cricket team has made multiple changes in its squad for the 4th and the 5th Test against India - in Melbourne and Sydney respectively. One of the casualties of the changes that have been made was opening batter Nathan McSweeney who was touted to be the long-term replacement for retired David Warner. The man replacing him is 19-year-old Sam Konstas who impressed many with his century in the Prime Minister's XI practice game against Team India in Canberra before the pink-ball Test.
After 288 matches and more than 750 wickets, ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin decided to call it quits as far as international cricket is concerned. He signed off with a staggering 537 wickets in 106 Tests, ending his career as India's second-highest wicket-taker in the format after the legendary Anil Kumble (619). Ashwin's retirement announcement came as a shock to many, including star batter Virat Kohli, while India captain Rohit Sharma was aware of the decision before the start of the ongoing series Down Under.
