NSW ne backing wapas li, BBL privatisation push ke beech Baird ne Cricket Australia chair se resign kiya

Mike Baird ne Cricket Australia chair aur director ke post se resign kar diya hai, jab New South Wales ne Big Bash League ko privatise karne ke move ke baad unke liye apna support wapas le liya. Baird ne CA board ko bataya ki woh late October mein AGM par re-election nahi seek karenge, aur February 2023 se shuru hua unka tenure khatam ho jayega.

David Boon AGM par interim chair ke taur par step in karenge jab tak permanent successor dhoonda jaata hai. Baird ke exit se privatisation process par badlav ki ummeed nahi hai, jise CA board ne is mahine ke shuru mein approve kiya tha, aur Melbourne Renegades potentially pehla club ho sakta hai jo becha jaaye. Unke jaane ka matlab yeh bhi hai ki woh apna ICC role chhod denge.

England ne Sri Lanka ko 223 runs se kuchal kar ODI series seal ki; The Oval par Banton, Brook aur Cox chamke

Tom Banton ne apna maiden ODI century maara jab England ne The Oval par Sri Lanka ke khilaaf 355 for 7 ka score khada kiya, jisme Harry Brook ne 77 add kiye aur Jordan Cox ne 52 se 76 blast karke late surge ko power diya. Sri Lanka ka chase kabhi set nahi hua aur woh 132 par all out ho gaye, jisse England ko 223-run win aur series mil gayi.

Is match ne format mein England ki badhti depth ko bhi underline kiya, jahan fringe players jaise Banton aur Cox ne rare chances ka poora fayda uthaya, kyunki one-day set-up apne options ko broaden karna chahta hai.

Toss se pehle quarter-final wash out hone ke baad India Asian Games semi-finals mein aage badha

India Asian Games men’s cricket competition ke semi-finals mein pahunch gaya, jab Nisshin mein persistent rain aur damp outfield ki wajah se Afghanistan ke khilaaf unka quarter-final scheduled toss se 16 minutes pehle abandon kar diya gaya.

Shreyas Iyer ne tricky conditions ke hisaab se adapt karne aur weather ko excuse na banane ki zaroorat par zor diya tha, lekin bilkul bhi khel nahi ho paaya, aur tournament ke ranking-based washout rules ke under India aage badh gaya.

Prasidh ne lead-bowler role ko embrace kiya, Kuldeep ne ODI return par strikes kiye aur Kohli ne 15,000-run landmark touch kiya

Prasidh Krishna ne kaha ki dressing room mein clear roles aur constant communication ne unhe 2026 mein India ke ODI plans ka regular banne mein help kiya hai, ek aisa saal jisme unhone eight matches mein 15 wickets liye hain. West Indies ke khilaaf Thiruvananthapuram mein first ODI mein, unhone inexperienced pace group ko lead kiya, 2 for 60 return kiya aur dikhaya ki Gujarat Titans ke colleague Gurnoor Brar jaise team-mates ke saath rapport pressure mein kaise help karta hai.

Unke saath, Kuldeep Yadav ne apne ODI comeback ko mark kiya jab West Indies 135 without loss tak race kar gaya tha, aur phir unhone innings ko turn karke 4 for 40 ke saath finish kiya, jabki visitors Justin Greaves ke maiden ODI hundred ke bawajood 295 for 7 par end hue. Chase mein, Virat Kohli ka 55th ODI century unhe 15,000 ODI runs ke paar le gaya, ek feat jise Prasidh ne close quarters se dekhkar “unbelievable” bataya.
