England captain Ben Stokes has expressed confidence in resuming his role as an all-rounder when the side begins its crucial Test summer through a four-day game against Zimbabwe, before the all-important five-match series against India takes centerstage. Stokes had been out of action since tearing his left hamstring during the final Test in New Zealand in December 2024. After undergoing surgery in January, Stokes is now all set to captain England when they host Zimbabwe in a four-day Test at Trent Bridge, starting on May 22. "I feel great. Training and playing are completely different. No matter what you do at training, you cannot replicate the intensity your body is put through in a game. As excited as I am to get back on the field, I do know it's going to be different to my training.
Former England cricketer Michael Atherton has said that he "loved" watching Virat Kohli play every day of his 123 Tests and felt it was hard for someone to take their eyes off the India stalwart when he dazzled on the crease in the red-ball format. Virat penned a note on Instagram on Monday to announce his retirement from red-ball cricket, days after his long-time compatriot Rohit Sharma bid adieu to the format. In a journey that redefined the demands of the game, Virat scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 fifties and finish as India's fourth-highest run-getter in the format.
Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali believes Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket is a “massive blow” to the format, hailing the Indian great as a “pioneer” whose passion and charisma brought fans to stadiums much like Sachin Tendulkar once did. As India prepares for a stern five-Test challenge in England starting June 20 at Headingley, Moeen acknowledged that the absence of Kohli and Rohit Sharma is a significant setback for the visitors — and a timely advantage for the hosts. “It's a massive blow to Test cricket. Virat was the one pioneer, the one guy in Test cricket that always pushed the format,” Moeen told Sky Sports. “He's done so much for the game, especially in India. I think after Sachin, he was the guy everybody came to watch. He filled out stadiums.”
Manchester United are putting a lot of work into their transfer business ahead of the summer but what they can do rests solely on the outcome of their Europa League final with Tottenham Hotspur.
Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has backed the Three Lions to beat a depleted Indian team during the upcoming five-match Test series at home. India, following the retirements of their two stalwarts -- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli -- will have their task cut out during the England tour, feel Moeen. Rohit announced his retirement last week before Kohli followed the suit on Monday, ending days of speculation about their uncertain future. Speaking to Sky Sports, Moeen suggested Rohit and Kohli's absence will be a huge boost for the hosts.
