Caribbean tour will stand India in good stead while preparing for the various challenges Australian grounds will pose during the T20 World Cup later this year. India played the opening three T20s in West Indies before moving to Florida for the remaining two games. In the three games, the Indians had to navigate through different conditions.

Commonwealth Games (CWG) medal in men's long jump. "All of us had been waiting for this medal for a very long time." When Sreeshankar mentioned "all", he specifically meant his father and coach, Murali Sivashankar, a former triple-jumper, and mother KS Bijimol, who is a former international 800m runner. "I was seventh at World Indoors, multiple times sixth in Asian Games and World Junior Championships. So this really means a lot to me," he said, talking to TimesofIndia.com over the phone from Birmingham. Had it not been for a controversial foul called on Sreeshankar's fourth-round jump, he would have been wearing gold instead of a silver. That jump looked close to the 8.20m mark, as Sreeshankar waited nervously to know if the attempt was legal. It was declared a foul, and the margin was ever so little, even looking legal in pictures that circulated on social media soon after.
FIFA has threatened to suspend the AIFF and strip off its right to host the women's U-17 World Cup in October due to a third party "influence", a development which comes just days after the Supreme Court's directive to hold elections of the national federation.

Deepak Chahar has credited the growth in his cricketing career to former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's advice, saying the veteran wicketkeeper-batter instilled a lot of confidence in him, which translated into good performances. Chahar, who missed the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to a hamstring injury and is ready for India comeback when the Asia Cup squad is announced on August 8, said: "Mahi bhai has given me a lot of advice. The best advice was to believe in myself.
The Wimbledon runner-up appeared set for an exit when Tiafoe set up an opportunity to serve for the win during the second set tiebreaker, but Kyrgios won the point and saved four more chances on his own serve to frustrate the American. The mercurial Australian won the last three points of the tiebreaker to force a deciding third set, which he dominated with his precise heavy service to seal the contest at around 1 a.m. local time.
Commonwealth Games (CWG) semifinal loss to Australia, coach Janneke Schopman said her side was left deflated and lost momentum after the incident. The Hockeyroos set up the gold-medal clash against England after a controversial 3-0 win over India on penalties here on Friday. During the shootout, Australia's Rosie Malone missed her shot but to the dismay of the Indian team and fans, the forward was given a second chance as a technical official, B Morgan of England, had failed to start the clock on time. Each player gets eight seconds to put the ball into the net in the shootout. Given a second chance, Malone scored and that set the tone for the shootout as the Indians failed their first three attempts, while Australia converted all their chances.
