Suresh Gopi Pushes Rs 100 Cr Makeover Of G.V. Raja Stadium For Olympic Dream
The International Olympic Committee: The historic G.V. Raja Stadium in Kerala's capital Thiruvananthapuram, could be headed for a Rs 100-crore makeover to bring it up to international standards and make it capable of hosting Olympic events, with Union Minister of State for Tourism, Suresh Gopi, taking the initiative forward after discussions with the top brass of Kerala University. Speaking to IANS, Gopi said an interaction with the university authorities had been held and that steps would now be taken to give shape to the proposed major revamp of the stadium, which is owned and operated by Kerala University. Gopi, a long-time resident of Thiruvananthapuram, visited the stadium along with Kerala University Vice-Chancellor, Dr Mohanan Kunnummal, and R.S. Sasikumar, Finance member of the University Syndicate, was also present at the meeting. Gopi pointed out that the Centre will be in a position to spare Rs 100 crore to revamp the G.V. Raja Stadium and make it fit for the Olympics, for which India has expressed its desire. Kerala University will soon prepare a master plan for a massive revamp of the stadium. With Gopi also very positive, we are expecting that this stadium will be converted into a world-class sporting centre, Sasikumar told IANS. The proposed makeover comes against the backdrop of Indias bid to host the 2036 Summer Olympics. India has formally submitted a Letter of Intent to host the games, with Ahmedabad proposed as the main host city. The International Olympic Committee is expected to select the host in mid-2029. The G.V. Raja Stadium, however, would potentially give Thiruvananthapuram a major international athletics venue. The stadium, which has hosted an international ODI in the past, has suffered years of neglect, leaving its synthetic track and other facilities in a badly deteriorated condition. The university is expected to prepare a detailed project report and master plan as the next step. The development also assumes significance as the stadium, built in 1937 as part of the erstwhile University of Travancore, approaches nine decades of existence. The university is expected to prepare a detailed project report and master plan as the next step.

Ill Always Keep That Frame In My Mind: T Dilip Recalls Indias Emotional Barbados Triumph
T20 World Cup: Former India fielding coach T Dilip has identified the aftermath of Indias 2024 T20 World Cup triumph in Barbados as the defining memory of his nearly five-year stint with the national team, saying the emotions inside the dressing room captured the weight of the journey that had preceded the title. Dilip, whose tenure with the Indian side came to an end following the recent tour of England, looked beyond the trophy itself when reflecting on the high point of his time with the team. For him, it was the few moments immediately after India secured the title that best reflected what the players had endured and accomplished. If I go back to my best moment, I think Barbados 2024, not just the trophy, but the dressing room atmosphere afterwards, the silence for a few seconds before it broke. I think in that silence, I could sense the amount of hard work the boys had put in over those four years. And Ill always keep that frame in my mind, Dilip told JioStar. That final in Bridgetown also produced one of the most memorable fielding moments of India's campaign, with Suryakumar Yadav completing a stunning catch on the boundary to dismiss David Miller in the closing stages.

Glasgow Cosmic Rope In Jason Roy For Inaugural ETPL Season
European T20 Premier League: Glasgow Cosmic on Tuesday announced the signing of England international opener Jason Roy for the inaugural season of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL), strengthening their squad with one of the most explosive batters in world cricket.

Womens Cricket at Lords: How the 1976 ODI Broke Barriers
The first womens ODI (60-over) at Lords in 1976 was much more than a cricket match. It was a breakthrough against decades of resistance and a defining moment in the journey of womens cricket. Fifty years ago, on 4 August 1976, England and Australia created history at Lords. For the first time, women cricketers walked onto the Main Ground at the Home of Cricket. For Rachael Heyhoe Flint, Englands captain and one of the great pioneers of womens cricket, it was another barrier conquered. The fixture itself was almost accidental. It was not part of the original tour itinerary and had initially been scheduled for Sunbury because Lords was unavailable. But when Middlesex were eliminated from the Gillette Cup, Lords became freeand the second match of the England-Australia series suddenly had a historic new venue. The Womens Cricket Association had waited a very long time for that opportunity. The WCA first asked MCC for permission to use Lords in January 1929. The request was rejected. Women were eventually allowed to practise at Lords during the 1951 Australian womens tour, but an international match on the Main Ground remained out of reach. The success of the inaugural Womens World Cup in 1973, which England won under Heyhoe Flints captaincy, helped strengthen the case. But Heyhoe Flint was not merely waiting for attitudes to change. She actively challenged them and was even prepared to take the matter to the Equal Opportunities Commission. Eventually, MCC gave way. The Lords Pavilion was still essentially a gentlemens preserve. There were no women MCC Members, and even female staff were advised to avoid the Long Room on match days. When Heyhoe Flint led her team towards the field, she realised that nobody had told her whether the women were actually permitted to walk through the Long Room. Rather than risk a confrontation, she led her players through a door beside the Committee Room and along the back of the Pavilion concourse. It was an extraordinary illustration of the times: women had finally been allowed to play at Lords, but they were still unsure which route they were permitted to take to the field. Inside the dressing room, however, the players received a rather different welcome. Red roses had been placed in the room. A famous blue cricket ball, commissioned in 1897 by London retailer Gamages from ball-maker Alfred Reader, was also presented during the series. One contemporary explanation for its use suggested, rather patronisingly, that women might swoon at the sight of a red one. Approximately 8,000 spectators watched Australia, captained by Anne Gordon, bat first. Australia scored 161, with Sharon Tredrea making 54. Englands Jan Allen took 2 for 28 from nine overs. England responded confidently. Enid Bakewell scored 50, Chris Watmough made an unbeaten 50 and Heyhoe Flint remained unbeaten on 17. England won by eight wickets. The result, however, was almost incidental. The real victory was that women had played an international match on the Main Ground at Lords. Heyhoe Flint became the first woman cricketer to set foot on Lords Main Ground that day. And, fittingly, she was one of the last to leave because England had won and she was unbeaten. The match also coincided with the Womens Cricket Associations silver jubilee, making the occasion even more symbolic. The 1976 breakthrough did not immediately bring equality. The next womens match at Lords was not played until 1987. Women were not admitted as MCC Members until 1999. Heyhoe Flint was among the first ten women to receive Honorary Life Membership, and in 2004 she became the first woman to serve on the MCC Committee. Today, her name is permanently associated with Lords through the Heyhoe Flint Gate, named in her honour. Also Read: Live Cricket Score That is why the first womens ODI at Lords deserves to be remembered not merely as a cricket match, but as a landmark in the history of womens sport. On 4 August 1976, women did more than play cricket at Lords. They claimed their place in its history.

Ashutosh Sharma Ruled Out Of Hampshires One-Day Cup Clash With Derbyshire Due To Injury
Indian Premier League: Indian all-rounder Ashutosh Sharma will miss Hampshires One-Day Cup match against Derbyshire on Tuesday due to an injury he sustained during Sundays game. Hampshire announced Ashutoshs absence in their squad preview for the match but did not reveal details about the injury or its severity. Ashutosh Sharma is unavailable due to an injury he picked up during Sundays match pace bowler Harry Petrie, who featured in the opening three games of the competition, comes back in, Hampshire said in a statement on Tuesday. Ashutosh has had a mixed season with the bat in the One-Day Cup, scoring only 56 runs in seven matches, with a top score of 16. However, at 28 years old, he has made a strong impact with the ball, becoming Hampshires leading wicket-taker. Bowling medium pace, Ashutosh has taken 14 wickets at an average of 15.92, which has been a significant positive despite his batting struggles. His injury occurs at a critical time for Hampshire, which is currently fourth in its group with four wins out of seven matches. They are facing a tough challenge to qualify for the next stage of the competition. Petries return gives Hampshire a replacement for Ashutosh, as he participated in the countys first three matches of the tournament. It is still unclear how serious Ashutoshs injury is and whether it will affect his availability beyond Tuesdays match. Ashutosh, 27, plays for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), a franchise co-owned by GMR Group, which also owns Hampshire. Over the last two IPL seasons, he has scored more than 350 runs for DC, with an impressive strike rate of 170 and an average of 31.25.

The Ajinkya Rahane You Must Know
'While his cricketing achievements are obvious, people should remember Ajinkya Rahane, the person. Because he has inspired youngsters in the dressing room by his powerful humane gestures.'
Cricket Australia XI: Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed insisted the tourists remain confident of making a strong start to their Test series against Australia despite being bowled out for just 54 in their second innings against a Cricket Australia XI in their weekend warm-up match. That wasnt a great feeling, losing against Cricket Australia (XI) that practice game, Taskin told reporters at East Point beach. But in cricket, that happens. We are still trying to adjust to the conditions and pitches quickly. So that was a good preparation, but we lost. But we are still hoping to do well in the main match. Bangladesh suffered an innings-and-38-run defeat in the three-day warm-up, collapsing for 54 in just 22 overs as South Australian seamer Campbell Thompson claimed outstanding figures of 8-25. Despite the heavy defeat, Taskin believes the match provided valuable experience for a Bangladesh side playing in Australia for the first time since 2008. The 31-year-old has also had limited exposure to Australian conditions, having played in the 2015 ODI World Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup. Taskin sat out Bangladeshs optional training session on Monday, instead joining Australias Alex Carey and Jake Weatherald for a press opportunity that took the form of a fishing trip. The trio spent close to an hour on the crystal blue waters west of Darwin but returned empty-handed. Meanwhile, Travis Head opted to remain on land as Australia continued preparations for the first Test against Bangladesh of his career. The newly crowned Allan Border Medallist had a short centre-wicket hit against Australias fast bowlers at the Marrara cricket complexs secondary venue before moving to the nets, where he worked under the watchful eye of batting coach Michael Di Venuto. Head also played down the significance of Bangladeshs collapse in the warm-up game, saying he would not be reading a hell of a lot into the scorecard. Ive played in some pretty poor ones over the years as well, and theyre always a challenge because youve got your mind elsewhere, Head told reporters on Monday morning from the outfield where Bangladesh were skittled. No disrespect to the CA XI team, but therell be guys in that Bangladesh team that are only purely worried about Thursday and what they needed to get out of it. They played well in the first innings theyd be disappointed in that and what the outcome looks like externally. But I think internally theyd just be worried about Thursday. Bangladesh will now turn their attention towards the opening Test, with Taskin once again expected to lead the pace attack after firebrand fast bowler Nahid Rana was ruled out of the series with a side strain. They played well in the first innings theyd be disappointed in that and what the outcome looks like externally. But I think internally theyd just be worried about Thursday.

West Indies Forced Into 2027 ODI World Cup Qualifier After Missing Automatic Qualification
ODI World Cup Qualifier: Two-time ODI World Cup champions West Indies will once again have to negotiate a qualifying tournament to reach the 2027 World Cup after failing to secure a place among the teams guaranteed automatic entry. The West Indies, who are currently placed 10th in the ICC ODI rankings, will not be able to secure one of the automatic qualification spots by the September 30 deadline even if they win both of their remaining ODIs versus India, they will have to take part in the Qualifier in February next year if they want to take part in the 2027 event in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Automatic qualification will be granted to the top eight teams in the ICC ODI Rankings as of September 30, with the two host nations, South Africa and Zimbabwe, excluded. Afghanistan earned their spot in that group following their exciting win against Ireland in Belfast. Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England and Bangladesh - teams who are the defending championsc - will take part, together with the hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe. For the West Indies, this most recent development is once again a blow in their attempt to regain the top spot in the 50-over format; since they were not able to qualify directly, they had to take part in the Qualifier for the 2023 ODI World Cup and ultimately ended up in fifth position in the Super Six phase, thus missing the tournament completely. West Indies had never before failed to qualify for the men's ODI World Cup, and since their omission from the 2023 tournament they have also missed the 2025 Champions Trophy, a competition which they had not taken part in since 2013. The West Indies will therefore have to go through another difficult qualifying campaign, the 2027 World Cup Qualifier being held in February next year. It has not yet been decided which country will host the tournament. The team that wins the Qualifier will be given direct entry into the second round of the 2027 World Cup, while those who finish in second, third, and fourth places will have to take part in the first round, which is called the Super Series. The winner of that tri-series will progress to the second round of the World Cup. However, the reformed qualification system has not been well received by some Associate nations. The Qualifier will include Ireland and West Indies, who are the two lowest-ranked non-host Full Members in the ODI rankings as of 30 September 2026, together with the top four teams from the Cricket World Cup League 2. The other four places will be taken by teams that advance from the World Cup Qualifier Playoff; this eight-team playoff will include the four lowest-placed sides from the CWC League 2 and four teams from the Challenge League, which is essentially cricket's third division. The Qualifier will include Ireland and West Indies, who are the two lowest-ranked non-host Full Members in the ODI rankings as of 30 September 2026, together with the top four teams from the Cricket World Cup League 2.

Rashid Khand's All-Round Show Earns Afghanistan 2027 ODI World Cup Spot
With this win on Monday, Afghanistan is 2-0 up in the five-match series. The first match was abandoned without a ball bowled.
World Test Championship Final: Australia all-rounder Beau Webster believes he has already proved that he belongs at international level and is determined to use the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh to strengthen his claim for a permanent place in the side. Webster made his Test debut at the start of last year and has had a mix of highs and lows in his first eight matches. Now 32 years old, he aims to build on those experiences as Australia enters a challenging stretch of Test cricket, starting with Bangladesh this month, followed by tough matches against South Africa, New Zealand, and India. The biggest thing Ive learned since making my debut is that Im good enough at this level, Webster said on Tuesday. You never really know. In the lead-up to that first Test, the question was, do you feel ready? I was telling myself absolutely, but you dont really know until you face bowlers from other countries and find yourself in high-pressure situations with big crowds where youre expected to perform. That was the most important takeaway from the last 12 months. Websters confidence has grown from a strong start to his international career. He was the top scorer for Australia in the first innings of their loss to South Africa in last years World Test Championship Final at Lords and helped Australia sweep the West Indies in the Caribbean. However, he later found himself left out of Australias preferred XI during the Ashes at the end of 2025, with Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, and Usman Khawaja being favored. Webster returned for the final Ashes Test in Sydney and seized his chance, scoring an unbeaten 71 and taking three wickets. This performance has boosted his belief that he can maintain his spot in Australias strong Test team. I forced my way into this team through runs. Being a batter means dealing in runs, and thats been my way into the team and how to stay in the team, he said. What Ive done in my first eight Tests with the bat likely shows I can be seen as a genuine top-six batter. Webster may face tough competition for a place in the XI against Bangladesh since Australia has considerable batting depth. The 13-player squad includes Green, who has become one of the countrys leading all-rounders. Webster, however, believes they can play together and thinks having two all-rounders would give captain Pat Cummins more flexibility. I dont see why not, Webster said. Its definitely beneficial to have more options in that top seven with the ball, and I dont view it as direct competition. It only offers more options and benefits for the captain if were both doing well with the bat and what we can contribute in the field. I enjoy playing with Cameron. I appreciate having the choice depending on who is performing with the ball; we can change things up when needed. So Im more than happy. Instead of getting distracted by selection battles, Webster said he focuses on making himself essential through his performances with both bat and ball. Im just focused on doing my job and making it hard for them to leave me out of the 11, whether thats with the bat or the ball. I take pride in contributing in all areas of the game, and so does he. We just happen to be all-rounders who mainly bat. Instead of getting distracted by selection battles, Webster said he focuses on making himself essential through his performances with both bat and ball.

Afghanistan Seal 2027 ODI World Cup Spot After Rashid Khan-inspired Thriller Against Ireland
ODI World Cup: Afghanistan booked their place at the 2027 ODI World Cup in Southern Africa after a thrilling three-wicket victory over Ireland in the second match of their five-game series, with captain Rashid Khan once again proving decisive with both bat and ball. This victory secures Afghanistan's place in the 2027 ODI World Cup in Southern Africa. They will make their fourth straight appearance at the tournament and take a strong 2-0 lead in the five-match series against Ireland. Rashid took three wickets, helping Afghanistan limit Ireland to 206. He then scored an unbeaten 37 as Afghanistan chased down the target with more than five overs to spare. This win gave Afghanistan a 2-0 lead in the series and guaranteed their spot in a fourth consecutive World Cup. Rashid had previously claimed six wickets in the second match of the series, showcasing his impressive form ahead of next years ICC Mens Cricket World Cup. After trailing 1-0 in the series, Ireland put up a strong fight after Afghanistan seemed to be in control. From 97 for 2, Irelands innings looked shaky until young Gavin Hoey stepped up with an excellent spell of legspin. Hoeys flight, dip, and sharp turn caused difficulties for Afghanistan. His figures of 4 for 34 in the middle overs brought Ireland back into the game. This included the important wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored 71. Hoey received good support from seamer Mark Adair, who continued to find small deviations from the pitch. However, after Hoey finished his spell by the 33rd over, Ireland ran out of effective bowlers as Afghanistan kept their composure. Irelands innings was saved by a record ninth-wicket partnership between Hoey and Jai Moondra. With Ireland struggling at 128 for 8 against Afghanistans spinners, the duo added 76 runs for the ninth wicket. Hoey was the top scorer with 36, while Moondra contributed 31 in only his second ODI innings. Moondra was the more aggressive of the two, showing great awareness and footwork against the Afghan spin. After hitting a full toss, Moondra struck four more boundaries before edging one to Gurbaz off Yamin Ahmadzai, who was playing his first ODI since 2022. This was Ahmadzais second wicket. Irelands innings ended in the 47th over when Hoey tried a big hit off Azmatullah Omarzai and was bowled. By that time, Rashid and Ghazanfar had impressive figures of 6 for 73 after dismantling Irelands top order, which included the wickets of Lorcan Tucker, Curtis Campher, and Ben Calitz. Afghanistan began the chase aggressively. Gurbaz took the fight to the Irish fast bowlers, particularly targeting Moondra, who struggled to get the same movement as Adair. Gurbaz reached his eighth ODI fifty with a big shot over deep midwicket, but Afghanistan quickly came under pressure. Sediqullah Atal dragged a delivery from Hoey to long-on for 27, and Rahmat Shah was bowled by an excellent delivery from Adair that nipped back to hit the top of off. Hoey continued to mix his pace and mostly bowled stump-to-stump, using tactics similar to those of Afghanistans spinners. Hashmatullah Shahidi then hit a half-tracker straight to Moondra at deep square, while Darwish Rasooli got out trying to sweep, toe-ending the ball to midwicket. Afghanistan faced more trouble when Omarzai tried a lofted shot and got caught at cover, leaving Ireland hopeful for an unlikely victory. However, Rashid stayed calm under pressure. The Afghanistan captain played a careful and confident innings, waiting to attack until his team needed only 15 runs to win. He closed the target to single digits with a wristy whip before hitting the winning runs, scoring a couple off Harry Tector in the 45th over. This brought huge celebrations in the Afghan camp.

Rohit Sen's aggressive batting performance set the platform for the chase, before a superb cameo from Nibir Deka handed Warriors their first loss of the season. Earlier, Bastab Roy, Mrinmoy Dutta, Nipan Deka and Deepak Gohain all picked up a couple of wickets each to bundle out Warriors for 121. Having won the toss and opted to field, Royals ran riot to reduce Warriors to 20/3 inside five overs as Parvej Musaraf, Ronit Akhtar and Ayush Agarwal succumbed early. Skipper Saahil Jain fell soon after, leaving the Warriors in further trouble at 37/4. Jay Borah and Jitumoni Kalita then combined for a 54-run stand for the fifth wicket to steady the innings, with Kalita striking 39 off 29 balls and Borah contributing 32 off 38. However, Warriors lost their last five wickets for just 30 runs as the innings fell away in the closing overs. With that staggering collapse, they were eventually bowled out for 121 in 19 overs. In response, Guwahati Royals suffered an early wobble, losing Sanjay Kumar Singh, skipper Rishav Das and Bishal Sarma inside the first four overs. With his side reeling at 19/3, Rohit took charge, combining with Nibir in a 60-run stand for the fourth wicket to steady the chase. Sen struck a rapid 46 off 29 balls with seven fours before being dismissed by Sidhartha Sankar Baruah. Nibir then anchored the innings from thereon, remaining unbeaten on 40 off 28 balls, and found support from Nipan Deka, who struck an unbeaten 12 off 12. Doikho Das kept the chase interesting for Warriors with figures of 3/20, but Royals ensured there were no further hiccups as they chased down 122 in 16.1 overs to complete a five-wicket win. Brief scores: Dibrugarh Warriors: 121/10 in 19 overs (Jitumoni Kalita 39, Jay Borah 32; Bastab Roy 2/16, Nipan Deka 2/14, Deepak Gohain 2/23).

DPL 2026: West Delhi Lions Cruise To Eight-wicket Win Over East Delhi Riders In Rain-hit Clash
West Delhi Lions: Defending champions West Delhi Lions registered a convincing eight-wicket victory over East Delhi Riders in a rain-curtailed Delhi Premier League (DPL) afternoon match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. Set a revised target of 58 runs in seven overs following the rain interruption, the Ayush Doseja-led Lions batted in a blazing fashion to complete the chase in 4.1 overs. Batting first, the Riders reached 95/5 in 15 overs before heavy rain halted play.

Arpit Rana and Sujal Singh rebuilt the innings with a 53-run partnership for the second wicket. Rana struck a 20-ball 32 before his departure triggered a middle-order collapse. Sujal top-scored with a 22-ball 34 before being dismissed. Mayank Gusain was the pick of the bowlers for the Lions by returning figures of 2-16 in three overs, while Shubham Dubey claimed 2-17 in his three-over spell and Tishant Dabla took Kaushiks scalp.

Really Honoured To Be Here To Be Playing The Test Series Against Australia, Says Taskin
ODI World Cup: Expressing childlike delight at finally getting the chance to play Test cricket in Australia, senior fast bowler Taskin Ahmed said on Monday that Bangladesh are feeling really honoured to feature in a Test series in the country after 23 years. Taskin, who first visited Australia 14 years ago as a member of the Bangladesh team in the Under-19 World Cup in 2012, is set to lead the senior team's pace attack in Thursdays series opener at the Marrara Stadium. We are really honoured to be here to be playing the Test series against Australia. No doubt Australia is one of the biggest teams in the world, and playing in Australia against Australia in Test cricket, it's a really proud moment for every one of our players. So, definitely that won't be an easy series for us, but still, we are hoping to do really well in the upcoming Australia series, Taskin told reporters on Monday. Taskin, 31, has featured in the 2015 ODI World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, but has never faced the hosts in the longest format on their home turf. From my childhood, I've been watching Australia team players, like great fast bowlers, legendary players. Really, now I have the opportunity to play against them. So I'm really excited. Australia is my favourite place to bowl. I have been watching all of them- Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, even Boland also doing well. If I have a chance to chat with them, definitely I will do, he added. Bangladesh enter the series on the back of a historic 2-1 ODI series victory over Australia in Mirpur two months ago, where the home pitches offered uncharacteristic pace and bounce. Taskin believes that performance provided a boost to the visitors, even though conditions in Australia present a completely different challenge. That was a really great series for us, especially because normally, traditionally in Mirpur, it used to be a turning and slow wicket, but the last series was pretty sporting conditions. We all played a good series, and we won against Australia. That's giving us really good confidence to play against them. But still, home and away, there is a big difference.

APL 2026: Erik Roy's Fiery 94 Powers Jorhat Stallions To Nine-wicket Win Over Tezpur Titans
Assam Premier League: Opener Erik Roy smashed a breathtaking unbeaten 94 as Jorhat Stallions registered a dominant nine-wicket victory over Tezpur Titans in the 2026 Assam Premier League (APL) clash at the ACA Stadium on Monday.

Roy dismantled the Titans' bowling attack during his 59-ball knock, laced with 10 boundaries and five sixes, and recorded the second-highest individual score of the tournament so far.

I Am Still Pakistans ODI Skipper, Asserts Shaheen Afridi After Captaincy Change Of Test Side: Report
Shaheen Shah Afridi: As the national teams undergo a captaincy purge over poor results, Shaheen Shah Afridi has asserted that till now I am Pakistans captain for one-day internationals as reports gather steam that Babar Azam is likely to take over as all-format captain, a news report said on Monday. According to Telecom Asia Sport, the Pakistan Cricket Board has promised former captain Babar the captaincy in all formats, and after giving him the reins of the Test squad, the PCB is considering handing the ODI side now. Asked if white-ball head coach Mike Hesson and powerful selector Aqib Javed back him as ODI captain, Shaheen gave a wry smile before saying, Till now I am the captain. It was reported a few days back that Babar had accepted the Test captaincy on the condition that he should be appointed all-format skipper. Sources said two selectors assured Babar that if he attains good results in the two Tests in the West Indies and three in England, he will become all-format skipper. Shaheen was appointed ODI skipper in October last year without a tenure, replacing Mohammad Rizwan under whom Pakistan crashed out of the Champions Trophy in the first round before losing a series to the West Indies for the first time in 24 years. Shaheen, who has led Lahore Qalandars to three PSL titles in the last five years, is seen as skipper until the ODI World Cup in Africa next year. But considering frequent changes in Pakistan, there is no guarantee he will remain in the saddle till the ODI World Cup. Even Babar is not given a long tenure with the Test side, appointed skipper for the West Indies and England tours.

There's Been A Few Tweaks; Hopefully Someone Sees It, Says Weatherald Ahead Of Bangladesh Series
Jake Weatherald: Returning to his hometown as Australias opening batter, Jake Weatherald said he has made a few tweaks to his batting set-up and is hopeful that they are received well during the upcoming series opener against Bangladesh at Marrara Stadium. Weatherald, Darwins first-born-and-bred Test cricketer, arrives in the Northern Territory following his debut international season during last summers Ashes, where he averaged 22.33 across 10 innings against England. Ahead of the upcoming series against Bangladesh, Weatherald spent time playing County Championship cricket with Leicestershire, where he worked on technical adjustments to refine his top-order game. It was a good opportunity to put into play technical things while still playing. The conditions there were very conducive to improving my technique. Obviously, getting the ball straighter, hitting the stumps a lot more. So that was a great learning curve for me. There's been a few tinkerings, hopefully someone sees it. It feels like I'm completely different, but everyone says I'm still pretty similar, which is sort of what I wanted a little bit. I didn't want to change anything dramatically. I tried to understand what I was really good at and what I do well in first-class cricket and what I could improve on, and I did well in the Ashes and what I could slightly adjust to make a better game plan overall. I think I've done that, so I'm pretty pumped to go out and show it, he said to reporters on Monday. There's been a few tinkerings, hopefully someone sees it.

Scotland And Netherlands Boards Call Changes To ODI WC Structure As setback For Associates
Royal Dutch Cricket Association: Cricket Scotland and the Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) have termed the International Cricket Councils (ICC) sudden structural changes to the Men's ODI World Cup qualification pathway as a major setback to the associate nations, warning that the move risks undermining years of global progress. The statement comes nearly a month after the ICC overhauled the tournament's format following its annual conference in Edinburgh in July. While the event was originally slated to feature 14 teams divided into two groups of seven followed by a Super Six stage, the ICC has now added a 'Super Series' and a 'Super 7' phase. Under the revised structure, the bottom three qualifying sides (ranked 12th, 13th, and 14th) will first compete in a round-robin Super Series, with only the winner advancing to join the top 11 teams in two six-team main groups. The top three sides from each group, along with the next best-performing team, will then advance to a seven-team round-robin Super 7 stage to determine the four semi-finalists. Cricket Scotland and the Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) are deeply disappointed by the International Cricket Council's recent decision to implement significant structural changes to the ICC Men's 50-over World Cup qualification pathway and tournament format with less than 18 months until the competition begins, the joint statement said. These changes represent a setback to Associate Member cricket and risk undermining the progress made in recent years to grow the global game. At a time when cricket is seeking to expand its reach, attract new audiences and strengthen its position on the international sporting landscape, reducing meaningful opportunities for emerging nations sends the wrong message entirely, it added. With the rejigged format clearly reducing the opportunities Associate nations will get to play in the ODI World Cup, the Netherlands and Scotland boards further questioned ICCs administrative integrity and transparency, arguing that decisions impacting nations operating on limited resources should never be made without proper consultation. Cricket Scotland and the KNCB remain fully committed to working constructively with the ICC and fellow Members to strengthen the global game. However, we have significant concerns about both the impact of these changes and the process through which they have been introduced. The changes risk weakening the integrity and credibility of international cricket, and only highlight the importance of strong governance, transparent decision-making and effective engagement with Members. Decisions of this significance, particularly those directly affecting Associate Members, should be made clearly following meaningful consultation and with sufficient notice for affected Members to understand and respond to the implications. An associate national administrator told IANS, on the condition of anonymity, that none of the member nations had any inkling of the changes being made to the format during the meeting in Edinburgh. It came out of the blue for all of us there, further said the administrator. The two boards also disclosed that two official meetings with the ICC after the annual conference yielded no formal written resolution. Following the announcement of the changes, Cricket Scotland, KNCB and other Associate Members met twice with the ICC, seeking official written communication on the changes and greater clarity around the processes involved. We also requested positive action to strengthen future operational decision-making and an invitation to bilateral planning meetings with Full Members. Since the second meeting more than two weeks ago, there has been no further response from the ICC, which is disappointing and disrespectful given the significance of the issues raised. The timing of these changes, with less than eighteen months until the tournament, has given affected Members limited opportunity to contribute to the process or adapt. We believe greater engagement with Associate Members would have supported a more effective and collaborative approach and helped maintain confidence in the qualification pathway. Along with other Associate Members, we value the ICC's investment in developing the game. We also believe that confidence in international cricket depends on clear, stable, and predictable qualification pathways, particularly where Members are making significant sporting, financial and commercial commitments based on established structures. Associate Members who are directly impacted should be properly engaged before decisions that affect our future are made. Detailing the operational strains caused by mid-cycle changes, the two boards said, Members and their players invest years in preparing for World Cups, and confidence in those pathways depends on them not changing part-way through a qualification cycle without consultation. Changing those structures at short notice creates significant uncertainty, disrupts planning, and places additional operational and financial pressure on organisations that are already operating with limited resources. Concluding with an appeal for open dialogue, both boards reminded the ICC that the World Cups have historically prospered through iconic upsets by the Associate nations on the field. The opportunity to compete at a World Cup provides Associate Members with a unique competitive opportunity to drive investment, inspire players, attract commercial partners and government support, and create moments that capture the imagination of supporters. Some of the most memorable moments in ICC tournaments have come when Associate Members have challenged, and in some cases defeated, Full Members on the world stage. Those performances have always reinforced the principle that success is earned on the field. Our players work incredibly hard with limited resources to earn these opportunities and deserve respect and for their efforts to be rewarded. Leaders in cricket have consistently spoken about their ambition for the sport to become truly global. Providing meaningful opportunities for emerging nations to qualify for and compete at major events is fundamental to achieving that ambition. Decisions that reduce or limit those opportunities slow progress toward expanding the game's reach and appeal and run counter to those ambitions.

Harry Brook, Justin Greaves, Tanzid Hasan Nominated For ICC Men's Player Of Month Award
ICC Men: Englands white-ball captain Harry Brook, West Indies seam-bowling all-rounder Justin Greaves and Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan have been nominated for the ICC Mens Player of the Month award for July 2026 following their stellar performances. Brook led England to white-ball series wins over India on the back of a dominant display in the shortest format. The right-handed batter finished as the top run-getter in the five-match T20I series by amassing 229 runs at an average of 114.50 while striking at an explosive 214.01 to claim the Player of the Series award. He also contributed 32 runs in two ODIs at a strike rate of 114.28. On the other hand, Greaves enjoyed a sensational month with both bat and ball in Test cricket. The 32-year-old struck a brilliant 180 in the first Test against Sri Lanka at North Sound, Antigua, to help West Indies secure a draw and eventually seal the series 1-0. He then turned match-winner with the ball against Pakistan in Tarouba - bagging figures of 5-27 in the first innings and 2-12 in the second to anchor a West Indies victory.

Mindset-wise, Its Always About How To Make The Team Win, Says Jemimah On Inaugural Champions Trophy
Champions Trophy: India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has expressed her excitement for the inaugural ICC Women's Champions Trophy, scheduled to be played in early 2027, adding that from a mindset perspective, the thought of always making the team win will remain the same. The inaugural 2027 ICC Women's Champions Trophy will take place in Sri Lanka from February 14 to 28, 2027. Weve tasted success once, and we know what it feels like to be at the top. The more you taste it, the more you want to be there. So, I think our team is working towards that, and yes, the Champions Trophy is going to be very special. Its happening for the first time ever in womens cricket, and Ill be a part of it for the first time as well, so itll be pretty special, and Im really looking forward to it. I think mindset-wise, nothing changes. At the end of the day, its about the team and how to make the team win, and that always stays, said Jemimah on JioHotstar. Ahead of the Champions Trophy early next year, India will head to South Africa for a competitive multi-format bilateral series in December this year, a contest Jemimah expects to be extremely competitive. Its going to be a really exciting series for sure. Both teams have been doing really well. Weve had a lot of rivalry lately and played a lot of matches against South Africa. I think its going to be great, with two of the top teams in the world facing each other in South Africa. Its going to be a great challenge, and were really looking forward to it.

With Jemimah in race against time to gain fitness for the upcoming Womens Asia Cup, she reflected on her productive time in the 100-ball competition. This year was really challenging. It was about adapting to different pitches and different conditions. Compared to all the previous years, I think the pitches this year were quite tricky, slightly on the slower side. So, adapting to that and changing your game accordingly was key, because we haven't seen too many big scores this year.

Padikkals Innings In Practice Game Was Really Good, Says India Batting Coach Kotak
Sri Lanka Cricket XI: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak praised left-handed top-order batter Devdutt Padikkal for hitting an exquisite unbeaten 142 in the teams six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka Cricket XI in their three-day warm-up match, and called his knock really good. Padikkal hitting 18 boundaries in his knock comes as a big relief for India in terms of filling number three slot, especially with B Sai Sudharsan ruled out due to his ongoing big right toe recovery. I think Devdutt batted really well. For me, Devdutts innings was really good, Kotak told bcci.tv in a video on Monday. India chased down a target of 207 runs in the final session on day three to wrap up a productive outing ahead of the Test series against Sri Lanka starting on August 15 in Galle. Reflecting on the fixture, Kotak stated that game time outweighed standard practice routines. I think it was very good and productive because practicing in nets for four more days wont be as productive as playing the practice match. Bowlers bowled with good intensity. We actually tried everyone, even bowlers, got to bat. All the bowlers got enough loading that is required. So, its been very good. Barring Auqib Nabi, who bowled five overs, all specialist bowlers got through nearly 18 to 20 overs across the fixture, while barring him and Prasidh Krishna, all got chances to bat. Kotak also highlighted the work ethic of the seamers on a flat pitch and the lower-order six-hitting by Mohammed Siraj and Gurnoor Brar as a major positive.
