England will have an eye on the weather heading into a do-or-die game at Old Trafford, Manchester, with rain forecast on all five days of the fourth Test. Although England came back in style to win the third Test at Headingley, they are still 1-2 down in the series and the weather forecast might force them to take their 'Bazball' approach a notch higher in their bid to keep the Ashes alive. "We're desperate to win this series and desperate to...
After Lucknow Super Giants, who are done with their recruitment of a coach by roping in Justin Langer, SunRisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals seem to be on the hunt for new coaches. Reports suggest that Andy Flower, who was recently let go by LSG, is among the contenders for the Royals coaching position while he is also in talks with another team.

'What is your favourite shot at the moment?' Bangladesh's new batting prodigy Towhid Hridoy was in two minds before settling down on one, eventually. "Pull and cover drive but probably I am enjoying pulling at the moment," Hridoy told Cricbuzz on Tuesday (July 18). The right-handed batter has all the reasons for picking up the pull shot considering he kickstarted the counter attack against Afghanistan in the first T20I by taking on a short ball from Fazalhaq Farooqi. Hridoy along with...
The Asia Cup is set to witness three potential clashes between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, on September 2 and 10, and possibly in the final on September 17, with certain conditions in place. Both teams are grouped with lightweights Nepal in their three-team group, making a Super 4 clash on September 10 highly likely, after the Rohit Sharma-led side kick-starts their Asia Cup campaign eight days earlier against the Babar Azam's team. As the two heavyweight teams in the continent, a...
Jemimah Rodrigues made a stunning effort from the deep to try and save a four after Ritu Moni swept in the gap between long on and deep midwicket. But it went vain eventually as substitute fielder Bareddy Anusha at long on was unable to collect it cleanly after Rodrigues dived in her left to keep the ball in play. Rodrigues was certainly frustrated but was quick enough to give a smile back at her teammate just to make sure she...
Pace-bowling star Kyle Jamieson is set for an international comeback more than a year after sustaining a serious back injury last year, while New Zealand have also handed maiden T20I call-ups to allrounder Dean Foxcroft and legspinner Adi Ashok for the upcoming T20I tour of UAE. Jamieson underwent surgery in February after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in the back ahead of the home Test series against England. Set for return, the pacer has been named in the new-look 15-member...
England pacer Stuart Broad said that Australia might be 'worried' after leaving out Todd Murphy and playing an all-pace attack fir the Old Trafford Test. Even as seven out of eight wickets on the opening day of the fourth Test fell to seamers, the veteran believes the visitors didn't make the wisest selection choice. England's lone frontline spinner Moeen Ali, who bowled 17 overs on the opening day, managed to find turn but picked up only a solitary wicket albeit the big...
It's been a miserable month on the international circuit for the West Indies. Their campaign at the World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe was doomed following a trio of losses to Zimbabwe, Netherlands and Scotland that meant the two-time champions will not be around for the latest iteration of the marquee tournament. West Indies then flew back home from that setback and landed on another one in Dominica, where they fell to an innings defeat inside three days to India. On the...
