Usman Khawaja has been a good player for Australian cricket, scoring runs all around the world. He just scored a double century against Sri Lanka in Galle, but besides that, he’s only scored two fifties in Tests since 2024. Now at 37 and after a tough outing in the WTC final, the Aussie selectors might consider giving a younger player a go. They’ve got some good options so dropping Khawaja for the next WTC cycle isn’t out of the question. Let’s take a look at three possible replacements if they decide to move on from him. 1. Sam Konstas The…

0Ngidi got some stick for his average bowling in the first innings of the WTC 2025 final between South Africa and Australia at Lord’s. But on June 12, he turned it around on the second day. The 29-year-old Durban fast bowler took three for 35 in nine overs to limit the Aussies to 144 for 8 in their second innings. Ngidi got his first wicket by getting Steve Smith out LBW for 13 on the fifth ball of the 19th over, then Beau Webster for 9 in the same way. He finished his spell by cleaning up Pat Cummins, who…

Shreyas Iyer, SoBo Mumbai Falcons captain, didn’t point fingers after his team lost to Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals in the final of the Mumbai T20 League at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday (June 12).

Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh has some doubts about 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made a name for himself with Rajasthan Royals. Yograj thinks the real test for the young player will come when he plays red-ball cricket and proves he can handle all three formats, not just limited-overs matches. Suryavanshi caught attention by becoming the youngest player ever signed in an IPL auction for the 2025 season. Due to injuries and lack of options at RR, he got his chance early and made the most of it, scoring a century off just 35 balls against Gujarat Titans, one of the…

The Indian team is keeping the practice match before the Test series against England under wraps, just like European football clubs. This four-day game starts on June 13 and won’t be telecasted unlike the recent India ‘A’ matches against England Lions and it won’t be a First-Class game. There won’t be a public scorecard either. With the IPL 2025 wrapping up late, this will be the only red-ball practice for some players who didn’t play in the India ‘A’ games. It gives the coaching staff, including Gambhir, to figure out things like the batting order after the retirements of Rohit…

Ricky Ponting was full of praise for Kagiso Rabada after his five-wicket haul on the first day of the ICC World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s. Rabada not only got his name on the Lord’s Honours Board but also went past Allan Donald’s record for most Test wickets for South Africa. Ponting was impressed with Rabada’s performance especially since he had a similar outing last time he was at Lord’s for a Test against England in 2022. He drew a parallel between Rabada’s success and his former teammate Glenn McGrath who was great at Lord’s. Glenn McGrath loved…
