After Pakistan's disastrous campaign in the ICC World Cup 2023 ended with a defeat against England, Morne Morkel has stepped down as the bowling coach of the Men in Green's team, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Monday. The former South Africa fast bowler joined the Pakistan team on a six-month contract in June this year. Morkel's first assignment with the men's team was their tour to Sri Lanka for the two-match Test series. The Pakistan cricket body will announce his replacement in due course.

Renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle feels that New Zealand missing out on a fifth bowler in their playing XI could hinder them in the World Cup semi-final clash against India at Wankhede. Bhogle expressed his concern about the lack of depth in New Zealand's bowling, while Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson head up an impressive pace trio and Mitchell Santner has established himself as an accomplished spinner, Bhogle questions whether the Blackcaps can afford to make an attempt to obtain 10 overs of bowling from the likes of all-rounders Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra.
The Cricket World Cup 2023 league stage is over, with India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand qualifying for the semi-finals. Among the 10 teams who participated in the tournament, India were the only ones to have not lost a single match. As Cricket Australia picked the 'team of the tournament' following the league stage of the campaign, Indian stars understandably dominated. Virat Kohli was named the 'captain' of the team as the likes of Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja joined him in the 12-member team.
A record-breaking crowd may have witnessed St Patrick's Athletic's FAI Cup final victory over Bohemians at the Aviva Stadium, but interest levels were global for the Irish soccer showpiece.
India captain Rohit Sharma added another feather to his cap, claiming his first wicket in a Cricket World Cup match on Sunday. Rolling his arm as India needed just one wicket to win the contest against the Netherlands in Bengaluru, Rohit delivered having bowled just 5 deliveries. Wife Ritika Sajdeh, who was watching from the stands, was all smiles seeing the India captain do something unique on the 22-yard strip.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has been engaged in an un-ending banter with former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez on social media. Ever since Hafeez branded Kohli ‘selfish' for the tempo of his knock en route 49th ODI ton, Vaughan has been taking a swipe at him at every opportunity. After Pakistan lost their final league-stage game of the Cricket World Cup 2023 against England on Saturday, Vaughan took another swipe at Hafeez and the Pakistan team, suggesting maybe Babar Azam's men need to be ‘selfish like Virat'.
