In the afterglow of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, the International Cricket Council has announced that it is keen to build on the success of the tournament. It was hosted by India and Sri Lanka and was won for the first time by the former, who beat South Africa in the final.

The result dampened the optimism generated by their hard-fought 2-1 El Clasico victory over visiting Barca two weeks ago. Alonso, who took over from Carlo Ancelotti in May, has guided Real to 18 wins in 21 matches across all competitions. However, defeats by Paris St.

As a boy, I dreamed of playing cricket for my county and my country. Obviously, I was not the only one. Very few made it to the top. The financial rewards at the time were slim but the status counted for something. The pathways to the top were random.
