Brevis mentors South Africa’s next generation of white-ball batters by setting the standard first, then stepping back. He anchored a young top order through the Namibia Tri-Series with a big score of his own, then watched Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Connor Esterhuizen push past those numbers days later. Pretorius became the youngest century maker in full-member […]

Shan Masood is the first Pakistan captain in history to lose 12 of his first 16 Tests, and the chaos above him explains why. Six head coaches have cycled through the dressing room in just over three years, while the chairmanship has changed hands four times since 2022. Selectors reverse decisions daily, a resigning coach […]
Pandya’s body has become the biggest variable in India’s white-ball planning, and selectors have stopped pretending otherwise. Each fresh setback, from a 2018 back spasm to a 2026 quadriceps strain, has forced captains to ration his bowling overs rather than assume them. That shift now shapes World Cup contingency planning and who gets picked as […]
Dhugal Bedingfield moved from Melbourne to Japan back in 2009 with no grand plan beyond grassroots coaching, and years later his side is about to face a full member nation for the very first time. This group has won eight of ten matches this year and climbed to their best-ever world ranking. That transformation started […]
Japan’s facility complaints threaten to reduce India’s touring party to a two-tier argument long before a ball is bowled at these Games. Makeshift dressing rooms, hotels well below the usual standard and a hybrid pitch have already pushed four boards into formal protest. Selectors have quietly floated sending a weaker side if conditions stay the […]
A teenager with one T20I hundred and a 24-year-old with five caps have just rewritten how this top order looks on paper. Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Connor Esterhuizen and Dewald Brevis have scored so heavily through the group stage that recalling any of the old guard now looks like a step backward. Selectors built this squad around […]

Smriti Mandhana didn’t just help India beat Hong Kong by 137 runs at the Women’s T20 Asia Cup; she rewrote two long-standing records in a single innings. Her 124 off 64 balls carried India to 193/5 and pushed her past Mithali Raj as the leading run-scorer in women’s international cricket. She got there in 30 […]
Nikhil Chaudhary is a Delhi-born leg-spinning all-rounder who spent years rebuilding his career in Brisbane club cricket after COVID stranded him there in 2020, and he has now turned that detour into a shot at global honours. He made his international debut in June against Bangladesh, becoming the first India-born male to represent his adopted […]
India can pick between Sanju Samson and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at the top of the order, and they should stop choosing and use both at once. Both have already delivered as openers on their own this year, just never in the same innings. The pair has never opened together in international cricket, despite each holding down […]
