Ollie Robinson’s hopes of appearing in England’s first Test against the West Indies hung in the balance as he sat out the final day of warm-up action in Antigua, but Mark Wood and Ben Stokes made welcome returns to the bowling attack.
Australia's first tour to Pakistan in 24 years is underway with the first test at Rawalpindi.
For the first time in 24 years, Australia is playing a Test match in Pakistan.
As Pakistan keep their deck under wraps, Pat Cummins is also keeping his playing cards hidden on the eve of Australia's first Test match in the country for 24 years.
A new era has dawned upon Team India with Rohit Sharma set to lead the country for the first time in Test match cricket on March 4 in Mohali against Sri Lanka. The transition of captaincy, which began from Virat Kohli deciding to opt out of leading the T20I side post the 2021 T20 World Cup, will be fully complete when Rohit goes out for the toss as the skipper on Friday. In preparation for the massive day, Rohit shared pictures on Twitter of his net session with a caption that read: "About time."
Sri Lanka at Mohali, there's another cricketer who will be hungry to take the ground on Friday. Local boy Shubman Gill, one of the architects of the historic win against Australia at the Gabba, is most likely to play his first Test in front of his home crowd. Gill's memorable 91 runs in the chase of the famous Brisbane Test, helped India breach the 'Gabba' fortress and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2021. That innings was like a trailer of a blockbuster career in the making. A product of India's robust domestic set-up, Shubman gave glimpses of his batting prowess by tackling the fiery trio of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc with ease. The Punjab youngster's knock also sent out a message that the next generation of Indian cricket is ready to take forward the legacy of the stalwarts of the past decades.
(Reuters) - Here is what you need to know about the first test between India and Sri Lanka, which starts on Friday.
Australia will face unfamiliar conditions, heavy security and unpredictable, but talented, opponents when they begin their first Test in Pakistan for 24 years on Friday. Having landed in Islamabad just three days ago to be immediately engulfed in "head of state-level security", the Australians have had little time to acclimatise to conditions in Rawalpindi, where the first Test will be played. But they may like what they see as they practise, with a pitch often more condusive to seam bowling than the more typical spinners' wickets more usually found across Pakistan. In three Tests played in Rawalpindi since Pakistan were allowed to host matches again in 2019, 10 years on from the fatal terror attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore, fast bowlers have snapped up 52 wickets with spinners only bagging 21. Australia captain Pat Cummins, fresh from leading his side to a 4-0 Ashes drubbing of England in his first series in charge, admitted it would be all new to his players.
