Dave Sampson was busy packing for a flight from the UK back home to South Africa when a golf magazine landed in front of him. A competition to design a golf hole had caught his friend’s eye, and he urged Sampson to enter and indulge a passion that had until that point been nothing but a distraction from the more traditional building architecture work that was paying his bills.
Suryakumar Yadav believes following his process and routine will be key to a good campaign in his maiden T20 World Cup outing in Australia. Since making his T20I debut in March last year, Suryakumar has evolved as one of the most destructive batters in the format and has risen to the No.2 spot in the ICC T20I rankings. "I was really looking forward to come here and attend the first practice session, go on the field, have a run, have a feel how its like here. The first net session was also really amazing, just wanted to see how the pace of the wicket is, how the bounce is," the 32-year-old said in a video posted by the BCCI.
Canada ran in seven tries to open its Women's Rugby World Cup campaign with a comfortable 41-5 win over Japan on Saturday, reeling off 36 straight points to snap an early 5-5 tie at Northland Events Centre in Whangarei, New Zealand.
Australia and England will face off in a three-match T20I series, which will be a dress rehearsal for the upcoming T20 World Cup, starting October 16. Speaking ahead of the 1st T20I, England white-ball captain Jos Buttler said that he doesn't see his team as "favourites" heading into the tournament. Buttler said that England have plenty of talented players, which makes them a "dangerous side", rather than favourites. England recently defeated Pakistan 4-3 in a seven-match T20I series, but Buttler did not play a single game owing to a calf injury.
Rohit Sharma-led Team India reached Australia on Thursday to start their preparation for the T20 World Cup. The side will play two practice games against Western Australia on October 10 and 13 and then after that, the side will square off against Australia and New Zealand in the warm-up fixtures ahead of the marquee event. Suryakumar Yadav, the No.2 ranked batter in ICC T20I Rankings, is one of the most destructive batters going around in world cricket and in a matter of one year, he has become the lynchpin of India's batting in the shortest format.
The 22-year-old was forced off in the first half of last weekend's Premier League defeat at West Ham after suffering the injury and specialists have decided he needs to go under the knife.

Indian women's cricket team star Shafali Verma registered her name in the records book as she became the youngest batter to score 1000 runs in women's T20Is.

The opener played a key role in India's win over Bangladesh, smashing 55 runs off 44 balls, smashing five boundaries and two sixes. Shafali Verma is currently the 7th-ranked T20I batter in the ICC Women's T20I rankings.
