Big Picture Are you ready for round two? The opening of this Ashes delivered everything it had promised. Four more matches of that level of exhilaration will be a test for everyone involved. Given all the talk of the past week, where both teams have had some downtime, it would be easy to think England
Month: June 2023
Language matters. That much has become increasingly apparent with every new revelation in England’s ongoing racism reckoning. Whether the arrestingly awful headline slurs that Azeem Rafiq outlined during his emotional testimony at the DCMS hearings, or more insidious everyday micro-aggressions – such as Cheteshwar Pujara protesting on this website that he didn’t much like his
Ben Stokes has revealed that England “wanted to play Mark Wood” in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, starting on Wednesday, but doubts over his durability meant they were forced to select Josh Tongue for his second cap instead. Tongue is the only change from the side that lost by two wickets in the first

Australia begin their 2023 ODI World Cup campaign against hosts India in Chennai on October 8, before going on to play their next two games in Lucknow in the north of India: against South Africa on October 13 and a qualifier on October 16. The World Cup schedule was finally released by the ICC and
Unlike other teams who have their league matches spread across most of the ten venues for the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, Pakistan will play their nine league matches in only five cities, according to the schedule released by the ICC and BCCI in Mumbai on Tuesday. Pakistan begin their campaign by playing both
Sethi’s list included Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Rawalpindi but they were named out of the rotation. The PCB election commissioner and acting chairman, Ahmed Shehzad Farooq Rana, rejected them and replaced them with representatives of Larkana, Dera Murad Jamali, Bahawalpur and Hyderabad. This difference of opinion is the reason the matter has been taken to
The Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) has recommended the ECB oversees “a fundamental overhaul” to the pay structure of women’s cricket in England and Wales. As part of the 317-page report published on Tuesday, the ICEC highlighted the disparity in the amounts paid to male and female professionals as an area to address.
The leadership of the ECB has issued an unreserved apology to “anyone who has ever been excluded from cricket or made to feel like they don’t belong”, and has promised to “use this moment to reset cricket”, in the wake of the hard-hitting findings of the long-awaited Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) report,
Zimbabwe 408 for 6 (Williams 174, Gumbie 78, Raza 48, Paradkar 3-78) beat USA 104 (Paradkar 24, Ngarava 2-25, Raza 2-15) by 304 runs Zimbabwe crushed USA by 304 runs, registering the second-biggest margin of victory by runs in ODIs.

Netherlands won the Super Over “I can’t really explain it,” Player of the Match Logan van Beek said. Netherlands, chasing 375 against West Indies, were deep in trouble with 205 required from
Logan van Beek rewrote the record book, smashing an unprecedented 30 runs in an ODI Super Over. He entered the scene with Netherlands struggling at 327 for 7, needing 47 runs of the last three overs to hunt down 375 against West Indies in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier at Harare. Netherlands had lost
It’s a sign that a tour is running smoothly when there are very few unknowns about selection for the next match. As with last week, the only question for Australia to answer is around the final make-up of their pace attack with Mitchell Starc waiting in the wings should a change be made at Lord’s.
Legspinner Ravi Bishnoi has changed his state team ahead of the new domestic season, moving from Rajasthan to Gujarat. Bishnoi, who has represented his home side Rajasthan in the domestic circuit since 2019, is likely to pair up with Piyush Chawla in his new team. Bishnoi posted a story on Instagram announcing the move, with

English cricket is bracing for the publication of an extensive report by the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) on Tuesday, the day before England Men’s second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord’s. The commission was instigated more than two-and-a-half years ago in response to the murder of George Floyd in police custody and
Kane Williamson has not given up on playing a part in New Zealand’s 2023 ODI World Cup campaign as he takes his recovery from a right knee injury on a “week-to-week” basis. Williamson, who ruptured his ACL while fielding for Gujarat Titans against Chennai Super Kings in the opening game of IPL 2023 on March
After one match of the men’s Ashes 2023, Australia are able to get the best of both worlds when it comes to Bazball. They can praise its ambitions, while England do much of the combative talking, knowing the scoreline reads 1-0 in Australia’s favour heading to Lord’s and promising there is much better to come
Marnus Labuschagne believes the slowness of the Edgbaston pitch played a part in him being drawn into twice edging Stuart Broad during the first Ashes Test but while he is looking at some technical adjustments it isn’t something he will dwell on for long. Labuschagne netted extensively at Lord’s over the weekend in preparation for
Ireland won the toss, made a double-strike in the ninth over of Sri Lanka’s innings, and took 6 for 44 in their last six overs. But so comprehensively did Sri Lanka win the other portions of this match, that they trounced Ireland by 133 runs, bowling them out for 192 after they had made 325.
Steven Smith has detailed how he felt like he’d had “a dozen beers” after being floored by a Jofra Archer bouncer at Lord’s on the last Ashes tour. Smith has made his return to the famous English ground this week, training on Saturday for the first time since the first Test. Australia’s players did not
Meanwhile, for Suryakumar, a return to first-class cricket is another opportunity to prove his red-ball chops. He made his Test debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener against Australia in February but sat out of the remainder of the series. He has formidable first-class numbers: 5557 runs in 133 innings at an average of 44.45, with
Pujara is the only batter to be left out for the upcoming Test series against West Indies, from the core group that featured in that match. With the new WTC cycle beginning with the the two-Test tour of the Caribbean in July, the selection panel, led for now by SS Das, have picked uncapped Yashasvi
Marnus Labuschagne‘s dismissals at Edgbaston were something that the Australian coaching staff had not seen before but there is confidence he can respond in the second Test at Lord’s. Labuschagne edged behind against Stuart Broad, playing at deliveries he could have left, with his first-innings golden duck coming from an especially wide ball as Broad
West Indies’ head coach Daren Sammy has pulled up his fielders for their sloppy effort that let Zimbabwe off the hook and set their side up for a heartbreaking defeat in Harare. West Indies dropped Sikandar Raza twice, first on 1 and then on 7, with the batter taking advantage of those reprieves to become
Zimbabwe 268 (Raza 68, Burl 50, Paul 3-61) beat West Indies 233 (Mayers 56, Chase 44, Chatara 3-52) by 35 runs Before the game, West Indies were favourites. At the halfway mark, West Indies remained favourites. And at the midway point of the chase, West Indies were arguably even stronger favourites. Yet, somehow, improbably, preposterously,
Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley insists a captivating Ashes can play a key role in preserving Test cricket worldwide. This year’s series is being played in a shadow of doom and gloom around the five-day game’s future, with Steven Smith admitting earlier this month he has concerns about Test cricket’s place in the sport.

Is India’s ODI top six loaded with too many right-handers at the moment? Former head coach Ravi Shastri seems to think so and would like to see at least two left-handers in India’s top six for the ODI World Cup later this year. “You need to strike the right balance. Do you think a left-hander
On Friday afternoon, when news of his selection in the India Test squad for the tour of the West Indies came in, there was emotion and elation in equal measure for Yashasvi Jaiswal. “My father started crying. I have not yet met my mother [since the announcement], I am going to see her in some
