Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley has rubbished reports suggesting that he might become the next BCCI secretary if Jay Shah is elected chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
An Australian Rules umpire has been suspended for dressing up as Osama bin Laden at an end-of-season function, the sport's governing body said Monday. Leigh Haussen will not be allowed to officiate during round one of the 2025 season as punishment after attending a restaurant as the mastermind of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The theme of the function, in a private room at the venue in September, was "characters from the 2000s".
The Indian cricket team has received another major blow. After the clean sweep 3-0 loss against New Zealand at home, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team's next assignment is an away Tour in Australia. The squad for the series has already been announced. Mohammed Shami did not find a place in squad as he is yet to recover from an injury. It was hoped that Shami would play Ranji Trophy matches to get fit for selection for the Australia Tour at a later stage.
Indian kudo player Sohail Khan created history by becoming the first Indian player to win a medal at the senior level in international kudo events. Sohail won a bronze medal in the -250 PI men's category at the Eurasian Cup 2024 in Yerevan, Armenia. He qualified for the knockouts stage following successive victories against Kazakhstan's Dastan Utimanov by submission and Georgia's Dvaladze Vasili 2-0 in the Round of 16 and quarterfinals, respectively.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's barren run with the bat has been a major cause for concern for Team India, as they slumped to a humiliating 0-3 home series whitewash at the hands of New Zealand. Rohit has scored only 133 runs in his last 10 Test innings, while Kohli hasn't fared much better, scoring 192. Former India cricketer Pragyan Ojha emphasised the need for the experienced batters to take responsibility, following India's unsuccessful chase of a low target of 146.
Skipper Pat Cummins kept his cool under pressure with a gritty unbeaten 32 to steer Australia to a nervy two wicket defeat of Pakistan in the first of three one-day internationals on Monday. Chasing 204, they reached the target with 99 balls to spare at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, surviving a huge scare when they lost three wickets in five balls. "Wonderful match but it got a little tighter than I would have liked it there," said Cummins. With Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head on paternity leave, the world champions had a new-look opening partnership in Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matt Short. But Short lasted just four balls before top-edging to Saim Ayub off Shaheen Shah Afridi while Fraser-McGurk's luck ran out on 16, slapping Naseem Shah to Irfan Khan at mid-on.
As Team India's batting order crumbled against New Zealand's spin attack in Wankhede, Rishabh Pant carried the team's slender hopes of a consolation win solely on his shoulders. The wicket-keeper batter's fighting fifty gave Rohit Sharma and his side the hope of getting something out of the series before his controversial dismissal left everyone stunned. After New Zealand opted to put DRS into use, challenging the on-field umpire's decision, the eventual call went in the touring side's favour.
New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra revealed a rare text message he received from his father, expressing pride in the batter's achievements after the Black Caps notched a "special" Test series win in his parents' place of birth. New Zealand wrapped up a memorable tour of India, becoming the first team in history to register a 3-0 Test series sweep against the Asian giants in their own backyard. The 24-year-old, who was the star of the first Test, was born and brought up in Wellington but his familial roots are firmly entrenched in Bengaluru.
