Pakistan is likely to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over India's refusal to travel for Champions Trophy 2025, according to sources. There has been a lot of chatter surrounding Indian cricket team's potential participation in the competition as the two sides have not played a single bilateral series in more than a decade over political tensions. While Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup, it still remains unclear whether India will travel to Pakistan in 2025 or not.
After Cricket Australia confirmed that Nathan McSweeney would open the batting in Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener, former wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist questioned the selectors if they strayed from their "top six batters" policy and argued that Josh Inglis, who had been included as reserve batter, deserves his Test debut against India in Perth and open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja. On Sunday, Cricket Australia, while revealing the 13-man squad, confirmed that McSweeney would open the batting alongside Khawaja in the series opener on November 12.
Just a week after India's embarassing loss 0-3 to New Zealand at home, veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has opened up on the defeat which has led to criticism of the team from all corners. It was India's first Test series loss at home since 2012 as New Zealand produced a stunning result against the Rohit Sharma-led side. The defeat ended India's streak of winning 18 series' on the bounce at home. Ashwin has broken his silence on the loss, labelling it a shattering experience of his career.
India began the four-match T20I series against South Africa with a thumping victory in the first game in Durban on Friday. Asked to bat first, the visitors posted a whopping total of 202/8 in 20 overs, courtesy of Sanju Samson's blistering century. Later, Team India bundled out the Proteas for 141 and won the match by 61 runs to take 1-0 lead in the series.

Australian media channel Fox Cricket's poster for the upcoming Test series between India and Australia has sparked a massive controversy on social media. The poster, featuring Pat Cummins and Virat Kohli, was aired during the third ODI encounter between Australia and Pakistan on Sunday. Social media users were quick to point out that while the Australia captain Cummins featured in the poster, Kohli was there for India in place of skipper Rohit Sharma. Fox Cricket will be broadcasting the five-match Test series and fans quickly started criticising the channel for snubbing Rohit in the poster.
Former India batter Aakash Chopra has rubbished the rumours of head coach Gautam Gambhir's ouster if the team fails to put on a show against Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Gambhir and the senior players have come under the scanner after India were whitewashed at home by New Zealand, their first Test series loss at home in nearly 12 years. Few days back, a report in Dainik Jagran suggested that Gambhir could be removed from his role in Test cricket if India fail to impress in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting November 22.
Following the second consecutive ton in T20Is Indian wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson revealed the chat between him and former coach Ravi Shastri during the Bangladesh game of the T20I series at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium in Hyderabad.

Samson raised the bar in the third T20I against Bangladesh and continued to build on the momentum with a 107(50), laced with seven fours and a whopping 10 towering sixes.
