Gill Climbs To No.2 In ODI Rankings; Henry Draws Level With Bumrah Atop Test Bowling Charts

ICC World Test Championship: India opener Shubman Gill climbed to second place in the latest ICC ODI Batter rankings, while New Zealand pacer Matt Henry joined India's Jasprit Bumrah at the summit of the Test Bowling rankings following stellar performances across formats. There was also a change at the top of the Test batting rankings, with England veteran Joe Root reclaiming the No.1 position. Root's scores of 46 and 77 against New Zealand helped him move up two places and overtake teammate Harry Brook and Australia's Travis Head to return to the summit for the 12th time in his career. Gill gained three places after his recent performances and now sits second among ODI batters, just 24 rating points behind top-ranked Daryl Mitchell. Fellow India batter Ishan Kishan also made significant progress, jumping 21 places to move to joint 43rd in the ODI batting rankings. India's bowlers enjoyed notable gains as well following the completion of the ODI series against Afghanistan. Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh rose 16 places to 22nd among ODI bowlers, while Prasidh Krishna surged 34 spots to joint 58th. All-rounder Washington Sundar climbed 17 places to joint 71st in the same list. In Test cricket, New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry became only the third New Zealander to reach the No.1 ranking for Test bowlers, drawing level with India's Bumrah at the top following his match-winning 11-wicket haul in the second Test against England at The Oval. Bumrah had held sole possession of the top ranking since overtaking South Africa's Kagiso Rabada in November 2024, but Henry's heroics helped New Zealand level the three-match ICC World Test Championship series against England at 1-1 and earn him a share of the top spot. Henry joins Jack Cowie, who first achieved the feat in 1947, and New Zealand great Richard Hadlee, who held the position between 1984 and 1990. His current rating of 870 points has only been surpassed by two New Zealand players in ICC rankings history: Hadlee, who reached 909 in 1985, and former captain Kane Williamson, who attained a batting rating of 919 in 2021. Several New Zealand batters were rewarded for their performances in the same Test. Rachin Ravindra moved up two places to 10th, Daryl Mitchell climbed five spots to 16th, Glenn Phillips jumped eight places to 31st, and Henry Nicholls gained 13 positions to reach 40th.

Womens T20 WC: When And Where To Watch Australia Vs Pakistan Clash, Know All Details

T20 World Cup: Australia will look to tighten their grip on a semi-final berth when they take on an already-eliminated Pakistan in a Group 1 clash of the ICC Womens T20 World Cup 2026 at Headingley on Tuesday. The reigning champions have enjoyed a blistering campaign so far, winning all three games to top the group, which includes their convincing victories over South Africa and Bangladesh, by a significant net run rate. With the likes of South Africa having also beaten India in recent days, another win here will take six-time world champions Australia a big step closer to reaching the final four, where they will join the top qualifiers from the other group. Pakistan have not had a tournament to remember; after suffering defeats at the hands of India, South Africa and Bangladesh they are already out of contention and can only play for pride in their remaining fixtures of the competition. The green and gold's only win of the campaign came against Ireland in their first match of this tournament. Despite having had a disappointing campaign, captain Fatima Sana has been a standout performer; producing a battling 55 in her teams defeat to South Africa and also proving economical and potent with ball in hand - she is the current leading wicket taker with seven at less than a ten-run rate including career-best figures of 3-16 against Bangladesh, meaning that Australia are likely to rely on her once again. The Australian pace attack has been headed up by Kim Garth, their most prolific bowler of the tournament and on only just under 5 economy, she should look to take advantage of the shaky middle order from the Pakistani team, taking five wickets thus far including the valuable scalps of both South Africa openers. Wicket keeper and opening batter Beth Mooney did have a back issue although it looks to be very mild. The wicket keeper was rested during Hollands innings in their previous encounter, however she does look to have passed it with no concerns meaning she would strengthen the batting line up once again for the Australian top order. Team management also have a dilemma with young debutant Lucy Hamilton impressing greatly in her first taste of international action last time out meaning that they may take a chance with continuing her or bring back experienced speedster Megan Schutt to give some variation to an already formidable array of Australian bowlers. History also favors Australia in Women's World Cup matches with them having already faced Pakistan four times in T20 WCs and beating them on every occasion and they should continue this pattern by easing to victory here today. When: Tuesday, June 23 at 11:00 PM IST Where: Headingley Carneige, Leeds Where to watch: The Australia vs Pakistan clash will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and live streaming on JioStar.

Womens T20 WC: Australia Eye Fourth Straight Win Over An Already-eliminated Pakistan (Preview)

T20 World Cup: Australia will look to seal their fourth successive victory in the 2026 ICC Womens T20 World Cup when they face an already eliminated Pakistan at Headingley on Tuesday. With South Africas win over India tightening the semi-finalists race from Group 1, Australia sit at the top with three wins from as many games and a strong net run rate. Another convincing victory would take them closer to a semifinal berth. Australia have dominated Pakistan in this competition by winning all four previous meetings. Pakistan, meanwhile, have been winless after defeats to India, South Africa and Bangladesh, despite captain Fatima Sanas allround efforts. Fatima scored a fighting 55 against South Africa and has taken seven wickets at an average under 10, including 3-16 against Bangladesh. Beth Mooneys availability could also ease the wicketkeeping burden, after she didnt take the field in the Netherlands batting innings due to back issues. The team management will also be weighing up on whether to retain debutant Lucy Hamilton, who impressed in her first outing, or recall veteran pacer Megan Schutt. Australias pacer Kim Garth leads their wickets tally in the competition with five scalps at an economy of 5.10 and will look to rattle Pakistans feeble middle-order. Local familiarity may also aid Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia, as they all have played at this venue when it was their home ground in The Hundred.

Jammu, June 14: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday said his party remains committed to safeguarding the rights, interests and livelihoods of farmers in Jammu and Kashmir and would work to ensure that their concerns are addressed effectively. Addressing a workers convention at Kotli Shah Doula in R.S. Pura, Bukhari said agriculture remains central to Jammu and Kashmirs economy and called for policy measures to protect agricultural land and support farming communities. Expressing concern over eviction drives and issues related to agricultural land, Bukhari said farmers in several areas have been facing distress and alleged that in some cases compensation has either not been paid or has not reflected prevailing market values. He also referred to cases in R.S. Pura where, according to him, cultivators with possessory rights over land were yet to receive compensation after dispossession. We will continue to stand with the farming community and pursue their issues at every level, he said, adding that steps should be taken to safeguard agricultural land and strengthen farmers welfare. Bukhari said Jammu and Kashmir lacks a strong industrial base and that land continues to remain an important source of livelihood and economic security for local communities. He also urged effective implementation of legal safeguards concerning land and called for greater attention to rural and agricultural concerns. Commenting on industrial development, Bukhari questioned the outcomes of the industrial package announced for Jammu and Kashmir and alleged that the expected employment benefits had not adequately reached local youth. The Apni Party chief also sought district status for R.S. Pura, citing its location and administrative requirements. During the convention, Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir stressed the need to examine challenges facing the agriculture sector and proposed constituting a commission to study the declining interest in farming. Mir said changing livelihood preferences and difficulties faced by cultivators required policy intervention and renewed focus on agriculture. He also demanded implementation of a Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism for farmers, saying it would help ensure stable returns and encourage agricultural activity. Party Provincial President Manjit Singh also addressed the gathering and raised concerns over unemployment, calling for stronger measures to create job opportunities for youth in Jammu and Kashmir. The event was attended by party workers and farmers from Jammu district and nearby areas and was organised by the partys Kisan Wing.
