Before a ball was bowled in this year’s tournament, a Barbados Tridents squad sheet carrying the surname Pollard set social media alight, and the rumor that Kieron’s son had arrived spread faster than anyone could check it. He hasn’t. There’s zero relation. But once the real teenager started bowling, the numbers made the mistaken identity […]

England will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I of the series at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, on Saturday, September 19. The hosts have already sealed the series 2-0 after registering convincing victories in Southampton and Cardiff. England won the first T20I by 119 runs before following it up with a six-wicket […]
Sri Lanka will look to end their T20I series against England on a winning note when the two teams meet in the third and final match at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Saturday, September 19. The visitors have already lost the series after England secured a 2-0 lead with a dominant six-wicket victory in the second […]
England and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the third and final T20I of the series at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on Saturday, September 19. With England already securing an unassailable 2-0 lead, Sri Lanka will be hoping to end the series on a positive note. The hosts, meanwhile, will look to complete a […]
Rashid Khan turned 27 this month without the armband he had carried since 2019. Ibrahim Zadran took over the T20I captaincy in March, and what has followed is a quiet reconstruction: a specialist working on his batting, a physiotherapy programme addressing lingering back trouble, and a new head coach who wants proof he is more […]
England’s bowlers exposed the real gap in the first T20I at Southampton, bowling Sri Lanka out for 135 in a 119-run defeat, England’s 13th straight win in the fixture. That scoreline is a symptom. The actual cause sits in structure: five Lanka Premier League franchises playing 24 matches a season against eighteen English counties running […]
Pietersen’s genius was never really about power. It was about knowing exactly which ball to attack and which to leave, a skill Brook openly admits he lost track of in Australia. Brook’s own explanation after the tour was that he simply failed to identify tough situations quickly enough, and that points straight at a conditions-reading […]
India’s West Indies ODI squad, announced on the sixteenth, answers the question everyone had been asking: Rohit Sharma keeps his place but loses the captaincy, and Hardik Pandya is not in the squad at all. Rohit arrives off a Lord’s century that reminded everyone what he can still do, while Hardik has not played a […]
Pakistan’s cricket board has cycled through roughly a dozen coaches since 2021, and Mike Hesson is the latest to inherit a team that just lost every Test of an England series at home. This seven-week visit from Sri Lanka, spanning white-ball cricket and two Tests, is the first real chance to see whether his methods […]
India have already banked the T20I series against Afghanistan, and that dead rubber in Delhi is the safest window all year to give Jasprit Bumrah a breather before the Asian Games. He has bowled every over asked of him in two matches, taken two wickets, and looked every bit the bowler who came back from […]
Chakravarthy’s body made the decision selectors were reluctant to make themselves. His fresh side strain during the Afghanistan series leaves India needing a wrist-spinner who slots into the squad without disruption, and only one man fits that description. Krunal Pandya’s IPL form has driven plenty of noise around a recall, but he was never in […]
