Cricket authorities have long maintained they are neutral. Neutrality is only effective when all parties believe it to be equally applied as the decision of an umpire. Bangladesh Cricket Board President Aminul Islam now believes the light of day should shine on this belief; he has accused the International Cricket Council (ICC) of having selective […]

The Indian team’s ability to score 238 runs and also send a message with their batting is an example of modern T20 cricket at its best. Their 48-run victory over New Zealand in Nagpur on Wednesday night was more than just a first game for the teams in this series; they were making a small […]
On a hot, sticky evening in Nagpur, India made easy work of New Zealand in a comfortable 48-run win, with little of the “Instagram shot” chaos that has come to define modern T20 batting, though there was still enough of an exciting finish to make for a fun contest. Rinku Singh went 44* off 20, […]
The irony in Indian cricket is unusual. At a time when there are debates about the quality of Test batting and Test batting depth, there is an example of the most successful Red Ball batsman in the country making runs to get the job done as if he were working at the post office. Sarfaraz […]
The Women’s Premier League was never designed to be predictable, but WPL 2026 has turned competitive chaos into an art form. After 13 matches, one team is flying, four are scrambling, and net run rate has quietly become the most ruthless selector in the room. Delhi Capitals’ seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians didn’t just end […]
Cricket has always loved its rivalries, but this one isn’t happening between bat and ball. It’s unfolding across boardrooms, security dossiers, and diplomatic emails, and Bangladesh stands uncomfortably at the center of it. With less than a month before the 2026 T20 World Cup begins, the ICC has handed the BCB a stark ultimatum: travel […]
Kuldeep Yadav’s rise was once a romantic story of a left-arm wrist spinner reviving a dying art in India’s ODI setup.

The 41-run loss to […]
India’s T20I lead-up is usually more of an experimental lab that has lost its way, with a new combination for each game, role changes during the series, and so many “trial periods” that even India’s selectors are confused. This series, however, seems to be a little different. Behind the typical rotation noise, there is a […]
Each T20 World Cup comes with neatly stacked predictions and leaves with those predictions destroyed. The 2026 tournament will take place in India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8 and will have a total of 20 teams competing over four different groups. Across nine previous editions, the Men’s T20 World Cup has […]
The game of cricket is always portrayed as being about meticulous planning. From selection meetings, workload charts, and World Cup roadmaps, it looks like everything is in order, and then the telephone starts ringing. Ravi Bishnoi was one of those players who got that call from England at a time when he had been quietly […]
