After Australia’s 17-run win over South Africa in the first T20I, Tim David said the team wants to bat aggressively. The coaches trust the players in any situation so they keep the instructions to a minimum. David’s sixes and Josh Hazlewood’s 3/27 were the key for Australia. They slowed down South Africa’s chase while defending 179. Ryan Rickelton scored 71 off 55 with 7 fours and a six. He and Tristan Stubbs (37 off 27 with 5 fours) added 82 for the 4th wicket. David who hit 8 sixes and 4 fours in his 52 ball 83 said about the…

But now his future in professional cricket is uncertain. The UPCA’s decision to keep Dayal…

Zach Vukusic from Croatia has achieved something incredible in cricket. At 17 years and 311 days old, he has become the youngest person to ever captain a team in international cricket. He led Croatia in a series of 4 T20 matches against Cyprus at the Mladost Cricket Ground in Zagreb. He is also the first 17 year old to ever captain a team in a major cricket event.

Kagiso Rabada, South Africa’s main fast bowler, thinks it’s time to put the excitement of winning the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia behind them. The two teams are now gearing up for six shorter games starting on Sunday in Darwin. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Rabada agreed it was a big deal. But he said let’s focus on the T20Is and ODIs coming up. “It was special and I’ve talked about it a lot,” Rabada said. “I think it’s time to move on. We will always remember it as a team and South Africa will too. But…

Babar Azam, a top batter from Pakistan, is close to making history. He has a chance to become the Pakistani batter with the most centuries in One Day International (ODI) matches. He is aiming to break a 22-year-old record held by former opener Saeed Anwar. Pakistan is going to play the West Indies in a series of three ODI games, starting Friday in Trinidad. Babar has scored 19 ODI centuries so far. Anwar ended his career with 20 centuries, which is the most for any Pakistani batter. If Babar scores just one century in these three matches, he will tie…

There has been a lot of buzz around Sanju Samson moving to a different team in the IPL. And now there is a big development: Samson has reportedly asked RR to trade him or release him before the 2026 season. Samson had a tough 2025 season with RR. The team finished 9th and Samson himself didn’t do well. He had a finger injury before the season and played only 9 games. He scored 285 runs with just one 50 and a highest score of 66. Compared to his previous seasons with RR, 2025 was a disappointing one for Samson and…

Mitch Marsh won’t be bowling anytime soon. The Australian white-ball captain will focus on solidifying his top order batting instead. With only 15 games to go before the T20 World Cup, this is getting important. Marsh said he’ll be Travis Head’s permanent opening partner until the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next year. That starts with the T20I series against South Africa. He missed the Champions Trophy ODI tournament in Australia in 2025 due to a recurring back issue he had during the summer at home. Marsh and Head have never opened together in T20Is but have…

Wasim Akram thinks Babar Azam should be back in the T20I team before Asia Cup 2025 next month. Under coach Mike Hesson, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan haven’t been part of Pakistan’s T20I plans. Babar Azam did well in the Asia Cup 2023, scoring 207 runs with an average of 51.75 and a strike rate of 97.64. But if you look closely, his stats are boosted by his 151-run innings against Nepal whose bowling wasn’t at its best. Wasim Akram recently spoke to a local sports channel and strongly advocated for Babar’s inclusion in the team. He said experience is…

After a six-month layoff due to injury, Australian captain Alyssa Healy has returned to international cricket. She’s working her way back to full fitness for the ICC Women’s World Cup later this year. Healy played for Australia A in a T20 against India A in Queensland. The veteran wicket-keeper batter showed her class, scoring 27 off 18 in a 13-run win, according to the ICC. This was Healy’s first game since the Test against England at the MCG in late February. The 35-year-old has been struggling with a knee injury as she builds up for this year’s 50-over World Cup…
