cricket legend and the one of the greatest leg-spinners of all-time, Shane Warne, has died, aged 52 on Friday after a suspected heart attack in Thailand. As per Fox cricket report, Warne’s management released a brief statement in the early hours of Saturday (AEDT), that he passed away in Thailand of a suspected heart attack. "Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived. The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course." the statement read. Warne is regarded as one of the finest leg-spin bowlers of all time after a career in which he took 708 Test wickets in a career which spanned from 1992 to 2007. In the all-time highest Test wicket-takers list, Warne is just behind Sri Lankan legend Muttiah Muralitharan's record 800 wickets. He later played in the Indian Premier League and other Twenty20 competitions before retiring from all international cricket in 2013 but continued to be involved in the game as a broadcaster.
Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed turned the ball square and mixed his variations intelligently as he bagged four wickets to rattle the Afghanistan top-order and help his team to a 61-run victory in the opening T20I at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Thursday. Nasum claimed the important wickets of Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Darwish Rasooli and Karim Janat to jolt the visitors in their run-chase of 156 runs.
IND vs SL 1st Test Day 1 Live Score: India won the toss and elected to bat in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali today. Rohit Sharma begins his journey as India's red-ball captain. The limelight will also firmly be on Virat Kohli, who is set to play his 100th Test match. India have been in stellar form in white-ball cricket at home, steamrolling New Zealand, West Indies and then Sri Lanka in limited-overs cricket but this will be their first red-ball assignment at home this year. Rohit has gotten off to a great start as a white-ball captain and if he can replicate the same in Test cricket, India's chances of making it to the World Test Championship final for the second time in a row will be bright. There are no Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane in this squad and the likes of Hanuma Vihari and Shubman Gill will be looking to cement their places in the side. As far as Sri Lanka are concerned, they are still searching for their maiden Test win on Indian soil. (LIVE SCORECARD)

cricket captain Pat Cummins did not reveal the makeup of his team for the opening Test against Pakistan but said playing two spinners remained an option in Rawalpindi on Friday. Veteran Nathan Lyon remains Australia's frontline spinner for their first tour of Pakistan in 24 years. The tourists, however, are tempted to field a second spinner on a pitch where Cummins expects decent turn even if not from the very first session. "I don't have an XI yet. We're pretty sure but we just want to have another look at the wicket," Cummins told a media conference on the eve of the match. "We have got a fair idea of what we want to do but don't want to make the call too early without fully knowing what the wicket is."
