Fortuin Handed Captaincy As South Africa Unveil Fresh Faces For Namibia Tour
One Day Cup Player: South Africa have opted for a blend of experience and domestic form for their upcoming white-ball assignment in Namibia, with spinner Bjorn Fortuin named captain of a 15-member squad that will contest a T20I tri-series and a historic ODI series later this month. The Proteas will first meet Namibia and Zimbabwe in the T20I tri-series, scheduled from August 28 to September 6 at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek. The squad will then remain in the Namibian capital for three ODIs against the hosts from September 9 to 13, marking the first bilateral 50-over series between South Africa and Namibia. Fortuin, who has previously led the Lions, will take charge of the side as South Africa look to give several players an opportunity to strengthen their international credentials. Head coach Shukri Conrad said the decision to retain one group across both formats was designed to provide continuity while widening the team's pool of international experience. Weve selected one squad for both series as we feel we have all departments well covered and it provides a great opportunity for players to build on their international caps. We saw glimpses of what Connor and Nqobani can offer during the T20I series against New Zealand earlier this year. It was unfortunate that Jordan picked up an injury in the opening match of that series, so were looking forward to seeing him get another opportunity at this level. The tour will also provide a significant opportunity for domestic performers. Duan Jansen has received his maiden senior call-up after an outstanding 2025/26 campaign, during which he was named Division 1 One Day Cup Player of the Year and helped the Titans lift the title with an unbeaten 61 in the final against the Lions. Eathan Bosch is the other uncapped T20I player, while Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann and Nqobani Mokoena have been included in an ODI squad for the first time. This tour has also opened the door for players who have performed domestically. Duan is one of those players. He is a quality all-rounder who has also shown great character for the Titans. Bjorn is an experienced player and proven leader who has successfully captained the Lions, and we have every confidence in his ability to lead this group. It is always exciting to play against our neighbouring countries, and the first-ever ODI series between South Africa and Namibia adds further significance, especially as we build towards next years World Cup, he added. Eathan Bosch is the other uncapped T20I player, while Connor Esterhuizen, Jordan Hermann and Nqobani Mokoena have been included in an ODI squad for the first time.

Indonesia contains Mount Bromo wildfire as crews battle hot spots
Former Sri Lanka: Former Sri Lanka fast bowler Farveez Maharoof believes the absence of retired off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will be a massive factor for India in the upcoming two-game Test series starting in Galle on Saturday. At the same time, Maharoof suggested that a spin troika of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Manav Suthar could form the ideal spin-bowling combination for India in the island nation. In two recent marquee series at home against New Zealand in 2024 and South Africa in 2025, India were left seeing their spinners being outshined by their foreign counterparts. With conditions in Sri Lanka expected to be spin-friendly, the effectiveness of their spinners will be under intense scrutiny. Regarding Ashwin, I think it is going to be a massive miss. I mean, not only Ravi Ashwin, even the likes of the batters like Virat, Rohit, and with the ball, Jasprit. I think these guys are legends of the game. The records speak for themselves. The numbers are brilliant and Ravi Ashwin, whenever he toured Sri Lanka, he did well. Its because in Sri Lanka, all of you talk about the turn. But if you really look in deeply, it is the bounce that pick up wickets for the spinners. So, Ravi Ashwin in this side, he would have been the ideal candidate to bowl in these conditions and Washington Sundar, he is going to be a massive miss as well because if the pitch is a turner, he could extract bounce as well. So, he will be a (big) miss (too). Overall, Ravi Ashwins shoes are hard to fill. The numbers speak for itself not just for his bowling prowess, its also for his batting prowess too as a number six batter, Maharoof told IANS in an online interaction facilitated by Sony Sports Network on Tuesday. With Ashwin retiring in 2024, India's succession plan remains remarkably unclear. To make matters worse, Jadeja is approaching the fag end of his career. Kuldeep, despite taking 79 scalps, has managed to feature in just 18 Tests since his debut in 2017. He remained on the bench throughout the five-match Test series against England. Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Suthar impressed on debut with a seven-wicket haul against Afghanistan in New Chandigarh in June and even fared well in the warm-up game in Colombo. Though Saransh Jain has been picked, Maharoof thinks Suthars ability to extract bounce off the Galle pitch gives him a slight edge. Talking about the rest of the spinners in the Indian side, I really like how Manav Suthar made his debut against Afghanistan a few months ago and how he bowled in the warm-up game as well. His pace and bounce, I really like him. But the big question is will India play Ravi Jadeja and Manav Suthar in the same side? So, two left-hand spinners ideally and Saransh Jain still has not made his debut, but looks a decent bowler. It will be a lot to ask from him on debut against a quality and experienced batting line-up like Sri Lanka. But if you ask me, I will be tempted to go with the two left-hand spinners as well as Kuldeep Yadav. I think Kuldeep Yadav is a front-runner to start in Galle, and the records again, especially with the last Test match against Afghanistan, he picked up so many wickets. So, I see three spinners from India with Jaddu, Kuldeep Yadav, the third spinner, in Manav Suthar or Saransh Jain. Ideally, you like to see an off-spinner for a variation. But I will not be surprised if Manav Suthar plays as well simply because I feel with his ability to get bounce off the surface, it can be handy in Galle, he explained. Addressing the challenge of bowling in Galle, Maharoof pointed out that adapting to local wind conditions will be critical for the Indian slow bowlers, while identifying Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya as the home side's main spin-bowling weapon. Prabath Jayasuriya is going to be the main weapon, that is for sure. We have nicknamed him as the king of Galle because so many wickets he has picked up in Galle. He knows to bowl with the wind because wind is going to be a major factor in Galle, more so because of the drift that the spinners can work with. So, that is something that the Indian spinners have to make sure whenever they start training in Galle. I believe they are travelling today. They start training by tomorrow. How quickly the spinners adapt to the wind factor. It is going to be cross-wind in Galle. So, that is going to be massive, he noted. Shifting focus to the Indian batting department, led by in-form skipper Shubman Gill, Maharoof singled out wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant as the batter Sri Lanka would fear the most due to his ability to single-handedly turn matches. Pant is on his first Test tour of Sri Lanka and in the practice game, he made two runs in the first innings, before curbing his flamboyant style to make 28 in the successful chase of 207. I reckon lots of talk about Rishabh Pant - how is he going to play? I mean, does he has to change his game plan? I think, being a former player, if I'm in the opposition or Sri Lankan dressing room, I'll be very worried about Rishabh Pant because he's a player within a matter of half an hour, or 45 minutes, he can change the game totally. We've seen him doing it in the past and he has an X-factor and he's been given that license to play the natural game. He's going to play a lot against left-arm spinner, or off-spinner. Sri Lanka, for sure, is going to go with two frontline spinners, as well as two part-timers in Sonal Dinusha and Dhananjaya de Silva. Rishabh Pant, the way he scores runs unorthodox, it's going to be dangerous. So, I feel, the likes of KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel are proper players who don't take much risk. They play elegantly and are very nice to watch. But for me, dangerous players can be Rishabh Pant. Devdutt Padikkal, the way he batted at number three, he was so solid. I'm looking forward to watching him bat as well, he added. Maharoof also advised India's attacking stroke-makers to stick to their natural approach while predicting that first-innings totals will prove decisive in the series. For me, I think Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and even Yashasvi Jaiswal as well, because they are free-flowing players and in the sub-continent, it's just about getting through the first 10-15 deliveries. So, I feel, the likes of KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel are proper players who don't take much risk. They play elegantly and are very nice to watch. But for me, dangerous players can be Rishabh Pant. Devdutt Padikkal, the way he batted at number three, he was so solid. I'm looking forward to watching him bat as well, he added.

ICC Rankings: Nashra Sandhu Among Notable Gainers As Pakistans Late Win Brings Progress
T20I Player Rankings: Pakistans consolation victory in the final T20I against Sri Lanka has translated into significant movement in the latest ICC Womens T20I Player Rankings, with Nashra Sandhu, Shawaal Zulfiqar and Tuba Hassan among those making notable gains despite Sri Lanka claiming the three-match series 2-1. Sandhu emerged as Pakistans biggest mover among the bowlers, climbing one place to eighth after returning figures of 1/17 in the third T20I. The left-arm spinner was one of Pakistans most consistent performers throughout the series, finishing with three wickets while maintaining an impressive economy rate of 6.72. Tuba Hassan also moved upwards, gaining three places to reach 48th in the T20I bowling rankings. From the Sri Lankan camp, captain Chamari Athapaththu climbed five positions to 36th after contributing to her sides historic series triumph. Sri Lankas success was driven in large part by Imesha Dulani, whose breakthrough campaign earned her Player of the Series honours. The right-hander rose one place to 22nd among T20I batters after accumulating 123 runs at an average of 61.50. Dulani's performances were central to Sri Lankas first bilateral T20I series victory over Pakistan since 2014. She set the tone in the opening match on July 31, helping the hosts chase 177 with six wickets and six balls remaining before another commanding chase in the second game on August 2 sealed the series.

The all-rounders' list also saw movement, with Sri Lankas Kavisha Dilhari climbing one position to 13th.

'Experience Helps A Lot': Purple Cap Holder Deepak Gohain Reflects On Guwahati Royals Top Spot
Assam Premier League: Purple Cap holder Deepak Gohain credited his experience for adapting to different conditions after his heroics with the ball helped Guwahati Royals beat Dibrugarh Warriors and reach the top of the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 Points table on Monday. Gohain has been one of the standout performers with the ball in the tournament and currently leads the bowling charts with 12 wickets from five matches. The left-arm spinner has an economy rate of exactly 5.00 and an average of 8.33, with best figures of 3/11. Experience helps a lot. When you are playing a big tournament like this, the experience is useful in match situations. You can understand how to bowl on which wicket, how to bowl to which batsman, and that helps the team as well, Gohain said, reflecting on his consistency. For Gohain, the victory over Dibrugarh Warriors was particularly significant as the Royals had never previously beaten the side. It's been a big boost for the team. We executed our plans in this contest, and we've been focusing on doing the basics right. That helped us get the win against Dibrugarh, he said. The 33-year-old also explained the approach that has helped him make an impact with the ball, pointing to variation and accuracy as key elements of his bowling. My mindset is simple. I try to keep varying my bowling, especially because pace variation is very important on this wicket. If you can do that properly and hit the right length, as a bowler, you get help from the wicket, he said. The one thing that has worked consistently for me is cramping the batters for room to get the better of them. Gohain also credited the collective effort of the Royals, who have won four of their five matches and are now firmly in contention for the title. The team's performance has been really good. We have won 4 out of 5 matches now. So, the morale of the team is high. Our aim is to build on this and keep winning matches, he said. The spinner further praised the coaching staff for maintaining a calm environment in the dressing room, allowing players to focus on their individual roles without feeling unnecessary pressure. Our coach is doing a brilliant job to ensure that the dugout always remains calm. That enables the players to play more freely and focus on what their role is. So, as players, we just focus on that, he said. The result took Guwahati Royals to eight points from five matches, with the side edging Dibrugarh Warriors on Net Run Rate at the top of the standings. Both teams have now registered four wins from five matches. Our coach is doing a brilliant job to ensure that the dugout always remains calm. That enables the players to play more freely and focus on what their role is. So, as players, we just focus on that, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score We are taking it one match at a time.

India growth seen slowing to 6.6% in FY27, says Fitch Group company BMI
Fitch Group company BMI on Tuesday projected India's growth to slow to 6.6 per cent in the current fiscal as the boost to the economy from last year's GST reforms wanes and elevated inflation erodes household income. The Indian economy grew 7.7 per cent in financial year 2025-26. India remains Asia-Pacific's fastest-growing large economy, but the risks lie to the downside, mainly from a re-escalation in the Middle East or a weaker monsoon, BMI said.

We expect growth to moderate from 7.7 per cent in FY2025/26 (April-March) to 6.6 per cent in FY2026/27, as the lift from last year's Goods and Services Tax reforms wears off while elevated inflation erodes household incomes, BMI said. As part of the GST reforms rolled out in September last year, tax rates on 375 items were cut and GST was rationalised from a 4-tier structure to virtually 2 slabs
