Richard Gleeson, the fast bowler who made his England debut at 34, has signed with Warwickshire for the 2024 T20 Blast after he was released by Lancashire at the end of last season.

India were briefly table-toppers too, when they had beaten South Africa inside two days in Cape Town earlier this month to draw the series 1-1. But their stay at the top was cut short when Australia completed their series sweep against Pakistan two days later to claim the top spot.
The incident occurred in the 81st over of England’s second innings. Ollie Pope, who scored 196, pushed a delivery through the off side and went for a run, but Bumrah was reported to have intentionally stood in the way, a move which led to physical contact. Pope was not pleased, and was seen taking it
It was only as England were walking out to defend the 231 target they had set India in the first Test at Hyderabad that Ben Stokes informed Mark Wood he’d be opening the bowling, as he had done in the first innings. The catch? He would only be doing so for one over. Wood was
The allrounder has been named in Australia’s T20I squad for the upcoming West Indies series and is hopeful to be part of the T20 World Cup squad. But after being left out of the ODI squad he revealed that he will be playing more T20 franchise cricket in the next couple of years and appears
After putting a challenging phase on personal front behind him, which had sidelined him for a few assignments, India seamer Deepak Chahar is ready for a comeback and has set his sights on the T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted by the USA and West Indies in June. Chahar had to miss India’s tour
SLC was suspended on November 10 for being in “serious breach of its obligations as an ICC Member”. Specifically, this had to do with “the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and ensure that there is no government interference in the governance, regulation and/or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka”. The ICC Board said it

Where did India lose the game in Hyderabad? Was it when their spinners were unable to stop Ollie Pope and England running rampant in the second innings? Was it when their batting was unable to deal with the rookie left-arm spinner Tom Hartley on the fourth day? Nope. Head coach Rahul Dravid says the biggest
Pope said that he rated his fifth Test century “head and shoulders above the other four” and described India as “probably the toughest place for a batter to come at the minute”. On England’s most recent tour of the country, in 2021, he managed 153 runs across four innings with a top score of 34
The pain of a first home defeat as Test captain for Pat Cummins was still raw, but he was able to appreciate the bigger picture of what had unfolded on a dramatic fourth day at the Gabba, while his opposite number Kraigg Brathwaite reiterated his call for West Indies to be given more Test cricket.
Ben Stokes described England’s unlikely turnaround win against India in Hyderabad as their “greatest triumph” since he took over as captain, and labelled Ollie Pope‘s second-innings 196 “the greatest innings that has ever been played in the subcontinent by an English batsman”. England have won 14 of their 19 Tests since Stokes took over as

Rohit Sharma feels India were not “brave enough” in their second innings and they “overall failed as a team” as they went down by 28 runs in Hyderabad. “When you are put against a wall, you need to show character and you need to be brave enough, which I thought we weren’t,” Rohit said on
He wasn’t even going to be at the ground on Sunday, after his toes bore the brunt of a Mitchell Starc yorker on day three of the Gabba Test. But West Indies were in with a chance of winning a Test match in Australia for the first time since February 1997, and Shamar Joseph wasn’t
Joseph, starting to bowl towards the end of the first hour of day four, took seven wickets in a spell that saw him bowl 11.5 overs on the trot with only the dinner break offering him some respite. “I wasn’t even coming out to the ground this morning to be fair. I must give a

When Nitish Rana soaked in his team-mates’ applause after going from 99 to 100 on Saturday, he was experiencing a feeling both familiar and unfamiliar. It was his seventh first-class hundred in 47 games, but his first in more than four years. So much had happened between his sixth and seventh hundreds, a time during
South Africa 273 for 3 (Stolk 86, Marais 80*, Teeger 43*, Koteeswaran 2-52) beat Scotland 269 for 9 (Gould 97, Dunk 90, Norton 3-48, Maphaka 2-53) by seven wickets Steve Stolk and Dewan Marais smashed a combined 15 fours and 11 sixes to help South Africa pummel Scotland in Potchefstroom.

Shamar Joseph has been cleared of a fracture to his toe after retiring hurt following a blow from a Mitchell Starc yorker, raising the prospect that he could yet play a part on the fourth day at the Gabba as West Indies aim to defend 216 for a famous victory. Starc speared the delivery into
The reverse sweep was England’s second most profitable shot (48 off 30 balls, no dismissals) in the second innings that took them from 190 behind to 126 ahead. Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett in particular were using it repeatedly, throwing India’s spinners off the good length area where most of the danger lurked in this
England 246 and 316 for 6 (Pope 148*, Bumrah 2-29, Ashwin 2-93) lead India 436 (Jadeja 87, Rahul 86, Jaiswal 80, Root 4-79, Rehan 2-105, Hartley 2-131) by 126 runs When the day began, we wondered if there would be a day four in the Hyderabad Test. Then Bazball arrived. After England lost four of

Australia 149 for 2 (Mooney 72*, Healy 46) beat South Africa 147 for 6 (Brits 59*) by eight wickets Australia eased to victory in their series-opening T20I clash with South Africa, thanks to some batting class from captain Alyssa Healy. The wicketkeeper-batter was in doubt for the clash at Manuka Oval after suffering from an
Do West Indies believe they can win? For a little while, as they cut through Australia’s top order in double quick time at the Gabba, it was just possible for the mind to drift back to the past. The quicks roaring in, a line of five slips stood well back and the ball climbing through
A left knee injury to Jack Leach compounded a miserable second day for England in Hyderabad that saw India march to a first-innings lead of 175 in the first Test.

India’s innings was only the second time in Test cricket since August 2018 that the first five wickets fell to attacking shots.
