Speed gun data made the decision for the selectors. Shaheen’s pace has dropped to 126 km/h in recent matches, well below what Test cricket demands from a strike bowler, and that alone was enough to leave him out of both squads. His numbers slipped too, just 27 wickets in his last 16 innings since knee […]
Only one change is unavoidable, and it belongs to Washington Sundar’s hamstring. Everything else on the team sheet is a genuine call, not an injury replacement. Gurnoor Brar has bowled well enough to keep his place, yet Arshdeep Singh’s left-arm angle offers something India haven’t tried at this venue. KL Rahul’s expected return solves a […]
Because the calendar did not wait for either problem to resolve itself. The touring squad for Darwin has to be picked within weeks, and neither the No. 3 spot nor the spin-bowling role has a settled answer right now. One issue is a form slump stretching back three years. The other is a 38-year-old recovering […]

England are the slight favourites to win the 3rd ODI against India at Lord’s, backed by a 53% win probability and the momentum of a confident chase in Cardiff. Joe Root’s unbeaten 99 in the last game was a masterclass in pressure batting, and this ENG vs IND match prediction suggests home conditions at the […]
New Zealand are the slight favourites to win the 4th ODI against West Indies at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, carrying a 52% win probability and back-to-back wins after a slow start to the series. Jayden Lennox’s dominant 4/52 in the last game exposed West Indies’ fragile batting, and this WI vs NZ match prediction suggests the […]
Jaffna Kings are the favourites to win the 4th Match of the Lanka Premier League 2026 against Dambulla Sixers, carrying a 53% win probability backed by a dominant head-to-head record and the firepower of Avishka Fernando at the top.

Kandy Royals edge out as the slight favourites to win the 5th Match of the Lanka Premier League 2026 against Colombo Kaps, backed by a 51% win probability, a marginally superior head-to-head record, and the presence of Angelo Mathews as both captain and batting anchor. Both sides come in with identical two-wins-from-five form, making this […]
Bangladesh are the favourites to win the 3rd T20I against Zimbabwe, carrying a 54% win probability and the confidence of a 34-run victory in the last game.

Barring a dramatic reversal nobody inside Indian cricket actually expects, the answer is close to none at all. Selectors have already told Rohit Sharma directly that his ODI career ends after the third match at Lord’s this weekend. He is reportedly unhappy about it, and has pushed back in private conversations with board officials since […]
Two names, and only two, have run this setup for years, and Mithali Raj says that gap should embarrass everyone involved in selection. Speaking to PTI on July 16, the former captain argued the senior job should have changed hands two or three years ago already. Her real complaint sits one level below that, though, […]
