PCB Names Condition To ICC For Agreeing To 'Hybrid' Champions Trophy: Report

Amid the ongoing impasse on Pakistan's hosting of the Champions Trophy 2025, the decision on the next year's marquee event is likely to be announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday, sources told IANS on Monday. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which holds the hosting rights for the Champions Trophy, has reportedly demanded a written assurance from the international body on the hybrid model for future ICC tournaments after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) communicated to ICC that the Indian team will not travel to Pakistan abiding by the Government of India's policy. Amid the stand-off, PCB has agreed to accept the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy with India playing its matches in Dubai while the rest of the tournament will be staged in Pakistan. India will also play the semifinal and final matches in Dubai, subject to qualification.

Kapil Dev Feels "It's Too Early" To Talk About Jasprit Bumrah's Potential Succession As Captain

Former cricketer Kapil Dev believes it is too early to judge if Jasprit Bumrah is the "best available candidate" to replace Rohit Sharma as the captain when the time comes. The Indian team stepped into Perth's Optus Stadium with an air of swagger around them. Bumrah captained the visitors in Rohit's absence, who was unavailable due to personal reasons. By imposing relentless pressure on Australia, India stood victorious with a record-shattering 295-run triumph over the hosts to go 1-0 up in the series.

Calm Rinku Singh, Rampant Vipraj Nigam Take UP To Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy Quarters

A composed Rinku Singh was overshadowed by an unheralded Vipraj Nigam as they displayed excellent finishing skills to take Uttar Pradesh into the quarter-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, beating Andhra by four wickets on Monday. UP will take on Delhi in the last eight clash after Rinku (27 not out off 22 balls) and Vipraj (27 not out off 8 balls) added 48 runs in just three overs to finish the 157-run chase in 19 overs. UP were cruising at one stage, having reached 70 for no loss in just 8.1 overs before a slump saw them skidding to 109 for six. This was when Rinku was joined by Delhi Capitals' new recruit Vipraj.

Asked About Mohammed Siraj's 'Liar' Accusation On Travis Head, Pat Cummins's Strong Response

Following the win against India at home in Adelaide Oval on Sunday, Australia skipper Pat Cummins shared his thoughts on the verbal spat between left-hand batter Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj during the day-night (pink-ball) Test match. Adding an element of drama and emotion to the hotly-contested Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Siraj aggressively sent off Head after cleaning him up following a counter-attacking century that severely depleted Indian bowlers and the team's chances of winning. As Siraj aggressively gestured to the Aussie suggesting it was time for him to take a walk back to the pavillion, Head also returned back the favour with some words. Siraj was heavily booed by the Australian crowd following Head's dismissal.

India's 13-Year-Old Sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi Accused Of Age Fraud By Ex-Pakistan Cricketer

India's 13-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 Auction for Rs 1.1 crore, once again found himself in the middle of an age fraud controversy. Former Pakistan cricketer Junaid Khan took to social media to share a video of his knock during the U-19 Asia Cup tournament and questioned the age of the youngster. Vaibhav produced a brilliant batting performance against Sri Lanka and Junaid questioned if a 13-year-old is capable of hitting such massive sixes. Vaibhav ended up being the joint highest-scorer for India in the competition with his best performance coming against Sri Lanka where he slammed 67 runs with the help of 5 fours and 5 sixes.

Kapil Dev Says It Is Up To Virat Kohli How Fast He Can Bounce Back From Lean Patch

Former captain Kapil Dev feels it is up to stalwart Virat Kohli how fast he can bounce back from his lean patch of form as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) and World Test Championship (WTC) continues to be on line for India. The 'Chase Master,' who thrived on his hunger to score runs, has looked out of his everlasting appetite in 2024. In Test cricket, there have been glimpses of Virat showcasing his picture-perfect technique but eventually being overshadowed by the weight of his failures.

"He's A Mumbai Batter...": Ex-India Star Backs Rohit Sharma Amid Poor Show

Jatin Paranjape, a former Indian cricketer and national selector, believes despite Rohit Sharma being far from his best in the 10-wicket loss to Australia in Adelaide, he is still confident of the Indian skipper performing better in the remaining three matches of the series. In his return to the number six position in Test cricket after a six-year absence, Rohit could only muster nine runs at Adelaide Oval over the two innings. A continued poor run in Adelaide means Rohit's average in his last six Tests is only 11.83.
