WEST INDIES TOUR OF IRELAND, 2025 Evin Lewis in action against Ireland © Getty A blistering 91 off 44 balls by Evin Lewis, and an equally quickfire 22-ball 49* on his T20I debut from Keacy Carty helped West Indies thrash hosts Ireland by 62 runs to clinch the three-match T20I series 1-0 after two previously washed-out encounters. Lewis was supported by fellow opener Shai Hope’s half-century as they together posted a 122-run stand for the first wicket to set the base for West Indies’ imposing total of 256 for 5 before they restricted the hosts to 194 for 7 in…

NOT DONE YET Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja, still in the plans © Getty Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has backed Usman Khawaja and his makeshift opening partner Marnus Labuschagne despite their lean returns in the World Test Championship final defeat. Labuschagne, who made an impressive start to his Test career in 2019, has endured a lean phase for over a year. Since the start of 2024, he has averaged 26.71 in 13 Tests. Nonetheless, McDonald has lent his support to the batter. “He’s a big part of the future of the team. Anyone that averages 45 or 46 in…

Oakmont, Pennsylvania CNN — Rory McIlroy just wants to go home. After three rounds at Oakmont Country Club at this year’s US Open, the Northern Irishman is over it. When asked what he wanted from Sunday’s final round after a frustrating first three rounds at the 125th US Open, the Masters champion said: “Hopefully a round in under four-and-a-half hours and get out of here.” McIlroy’s triumph at Augusta earlier this year made him the sixth golfer in history to complete the career grand slam.
