Delhi’s powerful batting line-up proved too much for the Ash Gardner-led Gujarat Giants in the WPL eliminator Not even an unbeaten 62 from Beth Mooney and a fine display with bat and ball from Georgia Wareham could help Gujarat Giants into Thursday’s final of the India’s Women’s Premier League.

While the allrounder is still processing being dropped for the T20 World Cup, Victoria’s coach believes he is in the frame for a Baggy Green “Disappointed” allrounder Matthew Short can push for a Test spot over the coming weeks, says his state coach Chris Rogers, after the Victorian’s cruel eleventh-hour T20 World Cup axing. Short has been relegated to domestic duties after being dropped from the Aussies’ 15-man squad on the eve of the tournament. The untried Matthew Renshaw, who only made his T20I debut last week, has come in instead as selectors plumped for a left-hander who can bat…
England head coach Brendon McCullum has praised the way Harry Brook has dealt with recent controversy but admits his white-ball captain is a “work in progress” away from the cricket field.Brook was fined £30,000 by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and warned about his conduct after being struck by a nightclub bouncer in Wellington the night before a one-day international against New Zealand in November, a game England lost by two wickets as they slumped to a 3-0 series defeat. Brook’s indiscretion only became public knowledge in January as England slumped to a 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia,…
Ollie Peake’s hobbling and defiant captain’s knock of 100 has proved too little too late to rescue Australia as their reign as under-19 World Cup champions was ended by England in a compelling semi-final in Zimbabwe. Peake’s previously unbeaten World Cup class of 2026 eventually met their match against England’s talented teens in their ‘junior Ashes’ showdown in Bulawayo, with the Aussie skipper’s counterpart Thomas Rew outdoing him by also scoring a memorable 110 in their 27-run victory. But though outclassed for much of the match at Queens Sports Club, a monumental late charge from young Victorian prodigy Peake looked…
