Glenn McGrath, the fast bowling legend, is very clear on who will come out on top in the next Ashes series in Australia. As the excitement builds for this big cricket event, McGrath, an Ashes legend himself, is predicting a 5-0 win for Australia. If that happens, it will be the first time since 2013-14 that Australia have won all five Tests in an Ashes series. England haven’t won in Australia since 2011 and McGrath thinks that trend will continue in this series which will go for three months from November to January. McGrath, who holds the record for most…

Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, shared his views on the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series (via Stick to Cricket X handle). The series between India and England ended 2-2 after five Tests in England. The pitches were generally batting friendly but bowlers also had a say. For India, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah took two 5 wickets each in the series. Akash Deep, playing his first Test in England, took 10 wickets in 2 innings, the best by an Indian bowler in England. When asked which team performed better, Vaughan said the young Indian team. He chose Shubman Gill and…

Shubman Gill, who had a successful Test series against England, will captain the North Zone team in the 2025 Duleep Trophy. The team has other international players like Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. Due to India’s busy schedule, the North Zone selectors have named replacements for players involved in international duties. Shubham Rohilla will replace Gill, Gurnoor Brar will replace Arshdeep, and Anuj Thakral will replace Harshit. The selectors have also named seven stand-by players to add depth to the squad.

After a disappointing series in England, Karun Nair is likely to sit out the Duleep Trophy. He has a minor finger fracture. The Karnataka batsman recently made a comeback to the Indian Test team after being out of it for over 7 years. Unfortunately, he didn’t live up to the expectations in the England series, scoring just 205 runs in 8 innings. This is another blow to Nair who is already struggling with his form. The injury might put his place in the Test team at risk, especially with the home series against West Indies and South Africa coming up.…

Shreyas Iyer is likely to be back in India’s T20I and Test squads. He last played a T20I for India in December 2023 against Australia and a Test match in early February 2024 against England in Visakhapatnam. Iyer’s return follows a good show in the IPL 2025. The 30-year-old Mumbai batter played well for Punjab Kings after they bought him for a big Rs 26.75 crore in last year’s auction. Sources say his form has caught the eye of the selectors as they prepare to announce the squads for the Asia Cup in the UAE and the two-Test series against…

Monty Panesar, the former England spinner, expects the Ashes to be just as good as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy’s first tournament. In a series full of emotions, drama and excitement, India and England gave it their all in the five Tests and ended up in a well deserved 2-2 draw. Many fans and former cricketers feel this series was even better than the 2005 Ashes. Panesar believes the upcoming match between England and Australia on November 21 will live up to the hype given the top two teams are playing each other. Panesar told IANS, India won a known win. They…

After the intense 5 match series between India and England which ended on Monday, August 4, eyes are now on the T20 format. With the T20 World Cup co hosted by India and Sri Lanka in February 2026 around the corner, teams are starting to get ready. India, the current champions, last played a T20I series in February 2025. After a 6 month gap they will be back in T20I action at the Asia Cup 2025 which starts on September 9 in the UAE.

Stokes played five games for the Superchargers in 2021 and 2024 and will be with the men’s team for the whole competition this summer.

Stokes also had a shoulder injury that ruled him out of the fifth Test against India so he wouldn’t have played anyway. The Northern Superchargers haven’t made the…
