Pakistan’s selectors left out Shaheen Shah Afridi because his red-ball numbers no longer justify an automatic spot, not because of any injury. Aaqib Javed made the call on July 5, alongside dropping Hasan Ali and Noman Ali, saying the squad needed more pace for two crucial tours. Since returning from a knee injury, Shaheen has […]
Matt Renshaw is Australia’s most logical replacement, already inside the squad with a Sheffield Shield average of 49.90 and three centuries last season. Ricky Ponting escalated the debate on Channel 7 during the second Bangladesh Test in Mackay, when Marnus Labuschagne fell for four playing across the line yet again. The technical problem is specific: […]
Rishabh Pant isn’t playing in this year’s tournament, and he doesn’t need to. He just became the first Indian batter to reach 100 Test sixes in Galle, cementing his grip on the gloves. What the domestic knockout actually settles is who stands behind him: Ishan Kishan, captaining East Zone, and N Jagadeesan of South Zone […]
TKR vs ABF 14th CPL Match Highlights: Antigua and Barbuda Falcons beat Trinbago Knight Riders by five wickets at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, chasing 166 with nine balls to spare. Shadab Khan’s unbeaten 52 off 20 balls sealed the result and kept the Falcons at the top of the CPL 2026 standings, […]
Sri Lanka’s top order has to stop treating collapses as survivable, because Sonal Dinusha won’t always be there to bail them out. His maiden century at Galle, arriving after his side slumped to 90 for five, was a genuine story, but it also disguised a structural problem the scorecard can’t hide. The top five managed […]
Renshaw is the bigger gamble because Australia haven’t tested him at the top of the order in eight years, while Labuschagne merely extended a slump that’s already three years old. Bangladesh’s nine-wicket demolition in Darwin forced one change, not two: Jake Weatherald was axed after six low-scoring Tests, and Renshaw was recalled purely on the […]
Fleming isn’t arriving to fix Root’s batting; he’s arriving to change how England thinks under pressure. The 53-year-old spent eighteen years building Chennai Super Kings around settled roles and patient decision-making, the reverse of the ball-by-ball aggression Brendon McCullum installed. Root returns to the captaincy after Ben Stokes international retirement, and now has to blend […]
In the TT vs VKK match prediction for TNPL 2026 Eliminator, IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans hold the slight edge with a 53% win probability, their season goes on the line, but so does Kovai’s. Tiruppur’s captain Tushar Raheja is the X-factor here: a genuine match-winner with bat in hand and a natural leader under pressure. This […]
In the MDP vs TRI match prediction for TNPL 2026 Qualifier 1, Trichy Grand Cholas hold a slight edge over Madurai Panthers, with a win probability of 52% to 48%. Trichy’s recent form is marginally stronger, and their balanced squad, anchored by Washington Sundar and all-rounder Antony Dhas, gives them the tactical depth to outclass […]
JAK vs SLK 13th CPL Match Highlights saw St Lucia Kings cruise to a six-wicket win over Jamaica Kingsmen at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet on August 21, 2026, chasing 170 with 10 balls to spare. Matthew Forde’s sensational 5/23 dismantled the Kingsmen batting in the first innings, and Kamil Pooran’s unbeaten 81 […]
Jordan Cox is solving England’s No.3 problem with a method neither Ollie Pope nor Jacob Bethell managed: controlled aggression that doesn’t sacrifice patience. His first innings there, 73 at Headingley, mixed attacking shots with real defence and constant strike rotation, echoing four hundreds in his first Essex season. Pope averaged just 20.83 in the last […]
Australia keep backing Cameron Green at first drop because he is the only route they have into fielding a genuine all-rounder in this XI. With Steve Smith locked in at four, Travis Head at five and Beau Webster valued at six, dropping him to fix the position would mean dropping a frontline seamer entirely rather […]
Bangladesh’s nine-wicket win over Australia in Darwin was no fluke pitch job. It was built on a first-innings 426, a maiden century from Tanzid Hasan, and match figures of 9 for Hasan Mahmud against a full-strength attack playing together for the first time in over a year. That result was Bangladesh’s first Test win on […]
