Karabo Meso, the 16-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, has earned her maiden ODI call-up, figuring in the 14 for South Africa’s three-match series against Sri Lanka from April 9 in East London. Chloe Tryon, who missed the third T20I, has been ruled out of the series to continue her rehabilitation for a back injury. Annerie Dercksen, who was
The PCB’s medical management of fast bowlers is again under the microscope after it emerged that Pakistan and Multan Sultans fast bowler Ihsanullah had an elbow injury initially misdiagnosed, which has resulted in a routine injury turning into a significantly more serious one. Ihsanullah last played for Pakistan on his ODI debut in April 2023
Alyssa Healy was left delighted with the experience and knowledge her team were able to take away from the tour of Bangladesh with an eye on the T20 World Cup later this year. Australia completed a cleansweep of the visit, their first in bilateral cricket, with a 77-run victory in the final T20I and it
Josh Philippe has moved from Western Australia to New South Wales in a bid to reignite his Sheffield Shield career while Nic Maddinson returns to the state where his career began in a pair of significant domestic signings.

Turner is one of the very few T20 middle-order specialists in Australia and has been a popular player at both Durham and Manchester Originals in the last two England summers. Both Durham and Originals have strong WA connections with Turner’s former WA team-mate Marcus North the director of cricket at Durham and former WA keeper-batter
Cricket Australia have blocked Xavier Bartlett from playing in the County Championship for Kent, denying him a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) shortly after offering him his first national contract. Bartlett had a breakout season in the 2023-24 Australian summer, making his ODI and T20I debuts against West Indies in February and taking 20 wickets – the
Still bitter about the scheduling fiasco that forced him and other senior players to miss a two-Test series against New Zealand earlier this year, South Africa pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada says they were not given a say in the “unacceptable” botch-up. As many as seven uncapped players were named for the series which was a
Glenn Maxwell has described the pace of Mayank Yadav as “pretty formidable” and believes the speeds he produced were the equivalent of former Australia quick Shaun Tait in his prime. Mayank’s stunning display earned him his second straight player of the match award and sent shockwaves to Australia given he bounced out Maxwell and castled
Nathan McSweeney has been named the new South Australia captain as the state’s men’s set-up goes through significant changes after another disappointing season. McSweeney’s elevation is the latest move up the leadership ladder after captaining Australia A, the Prime Minister’s XI and Brisbane Heat in the last 12 months. He also led South Australia in
Sri Lanka 156 for 6 (Athapaththu 73, Samarawickrama 54, de Klerk 2-25) beat South Africa 155 for 6 (Wolvaardt 56, de Klerk 44, Kumari 3-24) by four wickets Sri Lanka, with Sugandika Kumari leading the way with the ball and Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama slamming quick half-centuries, came from behind to win a historic
It speaks of the crossroads at which Dawid Malan finds himself that he will start the 2024 season moonlighting as a batting coach for Yorkshire. Even with the T20 World Cup two months away, Malan, the ICC’s No.11-ranked T20I batter – Phil Salt (second) and Jos Buttler (ninth) are the only Englishmen sitting higher –
It was only apt that a Sri Lankan fast bowler sealed a 2-0 series win in Chattogram. When Lahiru Kumara yorked Khaled Ahmed, it was 11.15am local time on the final day. It was always going to be a quick end to the game after Sri Lanka took seven of Bangladesh’s fourth-innings wickets on the
Sri Lanka 531 (Kusal 93, Kamindu 92*, Karunaratne 86, Shakib 3-110) and 157 for 7 dec (Mathews 56, Mahmud 4-65) beat Bangladesh 178 (Zakir 54, Asitha 4-34) and 318 (Mehidy 81*, Mominul 50, Kumara 4-50, Kamindu 3-32) by 192 runs Despite some dogged resistance from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Sri Lanka needed just a little over
Tim Robinson, the newest member of New Zealand’s T20I squad, has a pretty simple outlook when it comes to the format. “I love hitting sixes,” he said, something that started in the backyard as a kid and has now carried him to the brink of an international debut against Pakistan. Robinson only has 20 domestic
Allrounder Michael Bracewell will captain New Zealand on their T20I tour of Pakistan as he makes his return to international cricket after the injury while uncapped batter Tim Robinson is in line for a debut. Bracewell hasn’t played for New Zealand since March last year after suffering a ruptured right achillies playing for Worcestershire in
The same applies for Harris after an equally lean season for Victoria. He lost his CA contract and was extremely frustrated to be overlooked for the Test opening spot that Steven Smith claimed when David Warner retired. Harris had long been the next cab off the rank having been the spare batter through the entire
Ollie Robinson has conceded that he faces a “make-or-break summer” when it comes to proving himself as a bowler England can build their Test attack around, following a difficult tour of India on which he made just one injury-affected appearance that raised questions about his future despite an average of 22.92 in the format. Robinson,
The Cricket Association of Bengal [CAB] has announced the launch of the Bengal Pro T20 tournament, with a men’s event and a women’s event, in June this year. If and when it gets off the ground, the women’s event will be the first full-fledged women’s franchise T20 tournament in India to be run by an
Richard Gould, the ECB’s chief executive, says there is a “strong consensus” within English cricket that the Hundred should be opened up to private investment and that the owners of American and British sports teams, as well as IPL franchises, have made their interest clear. The ECB has consulted with the first-class counties since the
Left-arm medium pacer Fariha Trisna‘s hat-trick against Australia delighted the small crowd that turned up at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. However, it came in a losing cause as Australia crushed the home side by 58 runs in the second T20I to seal the three-match series 2-0. Trisna got her hat-trick off the
Ten years after its previous edition, “active conversations” are on between the cricket boards of Australia, England and India to revive the Champions League T20 (CLT20) tournament. This comes from Cricket Victoria CEO Nick Cummins, who also said the biggest challenge would be to find a window in the jampacked cricket calendar for the tournament.

Australia 161 for 8 (Wareham 57, Harris 47, Trisna 4-19, Nahida 2-21, Fahima 2-34) beat Bangladesh 103 for 9 (Dilara 27, Molineux 3-10, Gardner 3-27, Schutt 2-31) by 58 runs Georgia Wareham made the most of her opportunity as part of a reshuffled batting order with an impressive maiden T20I fifty as Australia secured the
In Stokes’ absence, England will consider using Liam Livingstone in the No. 4 spot that he filled during their 3-2 defeat to West Indies in December – though Livingstone limped off with an apparent muscle strain while fielding for Punjab Kings on Sunday, and is waiting on scan results to determine its severity. Jamie Overton,
A highway accident forced the postponement of two Dhaka Premier League matches at the BKSP grounds in Savar on Tuesday, as all four teams were stuck in traffic for hours on the Dhaka-Aricha highway, according to tournament officials. Both matches have been shifted to Wednesday, while the already scheduled matches on Wednesday will move to
Given the huge sums of money splurged on them, much attention has been on Starc and Cummins. But Spencer Johnson was another of the Australian quicks to go for big money at the auction and his story is perhaps the most remarkable given his rapid rise in little more than a year. He only bowled
Cricket Australia has introduced the option of clubs signing one overseas player in the BBL and WBBL on a multi-year deal outside of the drafts, in an attempt to ward off the mass exodus of players to other leagues that has hit the men’s competition, but the player must be available for the entire tournament
The PCB and Shaheen Shah Afridi have reached an uneasy truce after PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi met the player in Kakul earlier today. Afridi, who was deposed as Pakistan T20I captain after just one series, was thoroughly disgruntled with the manner of his sacking and the lack of communication from the board. Relations deteriorated further
Sri Lanka 531 and 102 for 6 (Mathews 39*, Madushka 34, Mahmud 4-52) lead Bangladesh 178 (Zakir 54, Asitha 4-34, Kumara 2-19) by 455 runs Asitha Fernando put Bangladesh on the backfoot with a four-wicket haul, as the hosts collapsed to 178 all out on the third day in Chattogram. Sri Lanka themselves slipped to
India’s batting still revoles around Rohit Sharma, who will be captain, and Virat Kohli, who in this IPL, has shown that he has expanded his game and is willing to hit boundaries from the get-go.
