 "England Women tour of Ireland 2024 - Series Digest". Kate Cross picked career-best figures of 6 for 30 and then returned to score an unbeaten 38 to see off her team win over Ireland in the ODI series opener in Belfast. Despite Cross exploits, Ireland were carried past the 200-run mark by Orla Prendergast 76, but that proved insufficient in the end. Ireland was going well until Orla out and then the collapse started in Ireland innings and they could not post a total that could threaten Strong England Lineup.

 "Vishwa, Kumara put SL on top despite Smith defiance". An overwhelming session for Sri Lanka saw them get into the box seat of the third Test against England at The Oval at tea on the third day. Vishwa Fernando (3-40) and Lahiru Kumara (3-13) wrecked havoc on a pitch that has spiced up considerably with movement and variable bounce to put England on the mat. If not for Jamie Smith (67 off 50) rearguard, the home side would have been in further disarray. For the first time in the series, England were put under relentless pressure by Sri Lanka bowlers and the home side could not wriggle themselves out of it. Sri Lanka now has best chance at the moment to win this test match with already lost the series by losing first two test matches

 "Would like to see WTC Final as three-match series: Nathan Lyon". Nathan Lyon has proposed a three-match World Test Championship (WTC) final across countries, more precisely continents. The expansion to a multi-match format, the Australian spinner believes would more accurately capture the essence of Test cricket instead of a single-match affair, where the outcome of a series can hinge on an individual session. "One thing I would like to see, I would like to see the World Test Championship Final potentially in a three-match series. That may become a little bit better because you potentially can lose a Test match in one session where [in a three-match series] it may allow teams to bounce back and show their dominance and win 3-0. We are pretty time-poor anyway and that is going to be a challenge but that is one thing I would change," Lyon, the best Australian spinner, since Shane Warne, with 530 wickets, tells ICC.

Cricbuzz understands both Bhatia (knee injury) and Patil (finger fracture) have cleared their respective fitness tests this week and procured the necessary NOCs to join the camp.

 "Moeen Ali retires from international cricket". Overlooked for England upcoming white-ball series against Australia, Moeen Ali has announced his retirement from all international cricket. The all-rounder last represented England in their semi-final loss to India at the 2024 T20 World Cup in Guyana. "I am 37 years old and did not get picked for this month Australia series," Moeen told Daily Mail in an interview. "I have played a lot of cricket for England. It is time for the next generation, which was also explained to me. It felt the time was right. I have done my part." Moeen made his white-ball debut for England on their 2014 tour of West Indies and went on to play 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is for the country in his 10-year career. When Sri Lanka visited England later that year, Moeen made his Test debut at the Lords, and represented England in 68 overall. He finishes with 6678 runs, including eight centuries and 28 fifties, and 366 wickets for England across the three formats.

 "Bowlers earn India B an outright win". India B earned an outright victory after a collective bowling display helped them bowl out India A for 198 in chase of 275. A second below-par batting performance on the face of consistent pressure saw India A, except for KL Rahul, fall apart in about two sessions off play on the final day of their Duleep Trophy encounter in Bengaluru. Bowlers were right on top off their game from India B side on the other hand the Batsman did struggle to have an impact in the game and in the end a well deserved victory for India B side.

 "Daryl Mitchell and the art of adaptability". Daryl Mitchell is not into murder mysteries. Being an international cricketer and the son of a former All Blacks coach, watching sports documentaries is what he prefers instead. But he is still willing to sit through the whodunit shows that frequently stream on his home telly. "My wife is more into the sort of crime and murder mysteries, which I sit there and put up with," he says, before adding with a grin: "I end up falling asleep sometimes, though." In many ways, this light-hearted moment captures the essence of Daryl Mitchell. Ever open to banter and always willing to adapt, whether it is navigating life at home or tackling challenges on the cricket field.

 "Potential Test return set to complete Pant international comeback". Rishabh Pant return to cricket will come full circle with his inevitable selection to the Indian squad for the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh that is likely to be announced on Monday (September 9). Since his comeback earlier this year, after a 15-month hiatus following a serious car accident in late 2022, the wicketkeeper-batter has played across all the shorter formats - IPL, T20 Internationals, and One-Day Internationals. Now, he is poised to be selected for the Test team. The selection of the 26-year-old Rishabh Pant seems all but certain, and it will be up to the team management - skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir - to decide if he features in the playing XI for the first Test, starting in Chennai on September 19. Pant will face competition from Dhruv Jurel, who impressed in the series against England during Pant absence. However, that decision is for another day and lies with the team management, not with Ajit Agarkar and his selection committee, who will meet online on Monday to pick the squad.

 "Rahul Dravid officially appointed as Rajasthan Royals head coach". Rahul Dravid is officially confirmed as the head coach of the Rajasthan Royals Dravid recently saw out his term as the head coach of the senior men Indian team and finished his tenure by winning the 2024 T20 World Cup in West Indies and the USA. Dravid has been closely associated with the Royals franchise in both playing and coaching capacities.

Dravid also served as a mentor for the Delhi Daredevils before giving up his IPL positions after being named to coach the India A and U-19 teams. That path eventually led him to coach the senior men Indian team from 2021.

 "BCB clears the air surrounding Hathurusingha position as head coach". Bangladesh Cricket Board cleared the air on the future of men national team head coach Chandika Hathurusingha. A board official said that the Sri Lankan will arrive in Bangladesh before the upcoming tour of India and guide the team forward against the Asian neighbours. Since Faruque Ahmed took over as BCB president, there has been speculation regarding Hathurusingha future. Hathurusingha has a contract that runs until next year Champions Trophy and just oversaw a historic series win in Pakistan. However, it is no secret that Faruque has been vocal against Hathurusingha in the last two years. He even made it clear that he has not changed his stance after taking over the BCB post. Hathurusingha intended to get together for a talk with the BCB hierarchy, but arrived in Bangladesh with the team and left the following day without meeting the new board president. BCB director Nazmul Abedin however, brushed aside all kind of speculation regarding the immediate future of Hathurusingha.

 "Nahid Rana: The Quiet Storm of Bangladesh Cricket". In a country known more for its spinners, Bangladesh newfound pace sensation Nahid Rana is redefining the narrative. The young speedster from Chapainawabganj has become the talk of the town after consistently bowling over 150 kmph during the Test series against Pakistan. His meteoric rise is not just about raw pace - it is a story of resilience, discipline, and the invaluable guidance of mentors who saw potential long before he became a headline. His rise, though rapid, is rooted in hard work and an unshakeable self-belief that he can match the best in the world. As Nahid himself puts it, "I just focus on my job. The rest will follow." Hailing from a relatively quiet cricketing district, Nahid journey to the national team was anything but straightforward. He worked hard and with the support from his family he finally got his dream into reality

 "Rahmat banks on Noida familiarity, refined technique to challenge NZ". Despite facing New Zealand for the first time in Test cricket and the significant gap in experience between the two teams, Rahmat Shah is confident that Afghanistan will present a strong challenge for the opposition. Playing in Noida, on the outskirts of Delhi, where Afghanistan has previously played six T20Is and five ODIs, offers the Asian team a sense of familiarity, said Rahmat, who also said the team will be keen to seize the limited opportunities in the longest format.

 "It is important we grow as a unit - Williamson". The upcoming one-off Test between New Zealand and Afghanistan is a unique contest on several counts. While it is the first red-ball encounter between the two sides, it will also be New Zealand first neutral Test match in India. It will also be the first visit to the country for premier batter Kane Williamson without the captaincy burden on him. Despite that, it was the 34-year-old who fronted up to the media for the press conference days before their encounter against Afghanistan. The Test match in Noida will be the start of a probing phase of Test cricket for New Zealand who are set to then have tours of Bangladesh and India back-to-back. Arguably the best player of spin in his team, Williamson acknowledged the enormity of the challenges that his side are set to experience. That the streak of Tests starts with a venue like Noida where New Zealand have never played a game before, only makes things that much trickier. Particularly given the exposure Afghanistan have had at the venue that is effectively their adopted home.

 "Rathour, Herath join New Zealand support staff ahead of Afghanistan Test". Vikram Rathour, the former India batting coach, will be part of the New Zealand support staff for their upcoming one-off Test against Afghanistan in Noida. New Zealand also announced that Rangana Herath will be their spin bowling coach for the Afghanistan Test as well as their subsequent two-Test series against Sri Lanka. Rathour was part of the Rahul Dravid-led coaching staff whose tenure ended with India T20 World Cup victory. He had played six Tests for India in the 1990s before becoming a national selector. Herath, the most successful left-arm spinner, has replaced Saqlain Mushtaq who was supposed to take charge of the temporary spin coach role before pulling out to take up a position with the Pakistan Cricket Board.

 "Ajaz Patel: Embracing the twists with the turn". If you are playing for New Zealand, a spinner might just be someone warming the bench. Few know that feeling better than Ajaz Patel. Less than three years ago, he felt the "stars had aligned for him" in Mumbai. He had just become only the third spinner in history to pick ten wickets in an innings. And he had done that to India at their home of cricket, in a city that was as much his by birthright and by virtue of spending the first eight years of his life there. Unfortunately, the reality has been far removed from that. Since taking the perfect ten in Mumbai, Ajaz has gone on to feature in only 25% of Tests that New Zealand have played.

 "Mark Wood out of action for rest of year due to elbow injury". Pacer Mark Wood will miss England tours of Pakistan and New Zealand as he has been ruled out for the remainder of the year due to a bone-stress injury to his right elbow. According to an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) release, the 34-year old "had noticed increasing stiffness and discomfort in his elbow" during the two-match Test series against the West Indies. He also played in the first Test against Sri Lanka in which he suffered a right thigh injury. The ECB stated that Wood is recovering well from the thigh injury which had initially ruled him out of the rest of the summer. In an Instagram post, Wood revealed that he had gone for what he thought was a routine elbow scan when the extent of the injury came to light.

 "You do not want to see anyone get hurt - Stone on frustrating bad-light call". England were left frustrated at the end of Day 2 of the third Test at The Oval, having had to bowl spin in the final session, as Sri Lanka were able to stage a fightback. England pacers, led by Olly Stone, reduced Sri Lanka to 93/5 in the second session, with the hosts themselves being bowled out for 325 after starting the day at 221/3. An unbroken 118-run partnership between Kamindu Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva ensued, with both batters scoring fifties, as Sri Lanka went into Stumps at 211/5. Stone said these are the rules of play and you cannot change them we were really want to have a go on them but bad light did not offerd that as the conditions were really good for seamers at that time of play.

 "Dhanajaya de Silva, Kamindu and bowlers help Sri Lanka hit back". The second day of the final Test against England was clearly Sri Lanka best day of the series as the visitors put on a strong show at The Oval. The bowlers started the fightback with a strong morning session to bowl out England for 325 after the hosts had threatened to post a total in excess of 400, if not 450. However, not for the first time in the series, the visitors had a collapse of their own as they slipped from 70/1 to 93/5 in no time, before Dhananjaya de Silva (64*) and Kamindu Mendis (54*) put on a fluent unbeaten stand of 118 to help Sri Lanka claw their way back. Bad light once again meant that stumps were called an hour earlier. The final session is where Dhanajaya and Kamindu milked the bowling with England forced to bowl spin due to the fading light. With both batters being excellent players of spin, run-scoring was smooth even as the odd ball gripped and bounced steeply, albeit from easier lines. De Silva, however, was lucky to survive as debutant Josh Hull put down a straightforward catch off Shoaib Bashir. The Lankan captain did not offer another chance as he dug through with Kamindu who continued his impressive run in Test cricket with a fine knock.

 "Pant timely return to form bodes well for Team India. All eyes were on Rishabh Pant as he walked in to bat with India B on 22/3. Bengaluru had its biggest turnout thus far for the Duleep Trophy encounter on a Saturday. A festive atmosphere had been craving for some star appeal on show. The game had seen some quality cricket otherwise including on the third day. They were denied that chance earlier when KL Rahul was bowled after trudging along for a 111-ball 37. But as Pant walked in, the second session had been filled with action, mainly on the bowling front. As many as five wickets had fallen. As much as Khaleel Ahmed and Akash Deep threatened with the new ball, the chances taken were equally eye-catching. One of his main competitors for the spot in India Test team Dhruv Jurel had managed only 2 runs with the bat. He had taken a lone chance in the first innings but that dive to take it in front of first slip had been one of the highlights in that innings, but quickly added to that with five takes in the second. Pant himself had largely flown under the radar as far as wicket-keeping goes although he had been tested by some wayward bowling, forcing a number of dives either side of the stumps. He had also pouched one down the legside but more visibly, his batting in the first innings had been a let-down.

 "Transitioning from white-ball to red-ball cricket is a challenge". Afghanistan Test and ODI skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi said they can consider having separate squads for Test and white-ball formats as that will allow them to prepare better for the longer-format game. Afghanistan are currently in Noida preparing for the one-off Test match against New Zealand, scheduled from September 9-13. Afghanistan will be coming into the series against New Zealand on the back of three successive Test losses - against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ireland. Afghanistan players had made a name for themselves in shorter-format cricket and have been in great demand in different franchise leagues across the world. But some of them now have to quickly transition from T20 to Test cricket after being selected in the team. And being part of different franchise-based tournaments has also meant they have not had enough time to prepare for Test cricket.

It always fiercely competitive, and it always feels like it is 50-50. I am 10 out of 10 excited for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy," the Australia captain told Star Sports". India currently hold the coveted trophy, having won the last home and away series. Australia last won the trophy in 2014-15.

 "Ajay Ratra replaces Salil Ankola in senior men selection committee". Former India wicketkeeper Ajay Ratra has been added to the national men team selection committee. The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) of the BCCI, comprising Sulakshana Naik, Ashok Malhotra and Jatin Paranjape, named him as the replacement for Salil Ankola. BCCI were looking for a new selector representing North Zone with one incumbent member expected to not get an extension. Ankola was the likely exit since he and Ajit Agarkar, the current head of committee, came from the same association and zone (West). Ratra, who played 6 Tests and 12 ODIs for India, has worked in the domestic circuit as the head coach of Assam, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. He was also part of India support staff on the ODI leg of the tour to South Africa in 2023.

This is Bangladesh third series win away from home, including one-off Tests, following 2-0 win in the Caribbean back in 2009 and winning the one off-Test in Harare in 2021. Overall, this is just their eighth win in an overseas Test - two each in West Indies, Zimbabwe & Pakistan, and one each in Sri Lanka & New Zealand. Pakistan have now dropped a series at home to each of the nine opponents they have played, Bangladesh being the latest (Pakistan have not yet hosted Ireland or Afghanistan). Bangladesh are the only other team to lose to more number of oppositions at home - 10 (the nine oldest Full member sides as well as Afghanistan, to whom they lost a one-off Test in 2019).

 "Clinical Bangladesh complete historic series sweep of Pakistan". Bangladesh top six came up with important contributions to lead their side to a historic 2-0 cleansweep in the Test series against Pakistan.

The 2-0 victory was Bangladesh second overseas series win (minimum two matches in a series), with their first coming against West Indies (2-0) back in 2009. This was also Bangladesh first series win against Pakistan.

 "He is quite simply England greatest" - Cook on Root. Alastair Cook, whose record for most Test hundreds by an England batter was broken by Joe Root, has showered praise on the latter calling him a "genius". With twin tons in the Lords Test against Sri Lanka, Root hundreds tally went up to 34. "He is quite simply England greatest, and its right that he should have this record, on his own. We are watching a genius," commented Alastair Cook on BBC. "I do not think there is a batsman that I can remember watching play...the sense of inevitability about scoring runs that Joe Root gives off. I called it when he was on about 6 today, that he was going to get 100. I know he is in great form, but its just a pleasure to watch a master, a craftsman at work," he added.

 "Ollie Pope wants fresh start at The Oval with bat in hand". For the first time in 20 years, England have the chance of ending their summer with a 100 percent win record. Things have been going great for the team, especially for Joe Root and Gus Atkinson, who have been the face of England victories this summer. Atkinson rise has been phenomenal and the 26-year old pacer has been consistently getting on the Lords honours board, the latest being a five-wicket haul that delivered England an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series against Sri Lanka. But amidst all these, there has been tremendous scrutiny on the form of Ollie Pope, England number three and their stand-in captain for this series in the absence of Ben Stokes. He had a good series against the West Indies, scoring a century and two half-centuries, but hit a lean patch against Sri Lanka with scores of 6, 6, 1 and 17. Former cricketers and experts have questioned his shot-selection and lack of confidence at the start of his innings and have pointed out that captaincy is perhaps weighing him down.

 "New Zealand finalise central contract list with two further additions". New Zealand have finalised their central contract list for the 2024/25 season, with all-rounders Nathan Smith and Josh Clarkson winning the final two spots in the 20-player list.

The promotion of Smith and Clarkson leaves New Zealand with 20 players on central contracts for the coming season, following the decision by Devon Conway and Finn Allen to decline the option last month.

 "I was a bit nervous" - Litton on walking out to bat at 26/5 Litton Kumar Das, who scored 138 during his marathon 333-minute stay at the crease on the third day in Rawalpindi, admitted that he was "nervous" walking out to bat with the scoreboard reading 26 for 5. The 29-year-old hit 13 boundaries and 4 sixes and put on a 165-run seventh-wicket stand with Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who scored a gritty 78. "I never thought I would have to bat before the drinks break. I was a bit nervous," Litton admitted. "We told each other that since Pakistan had the momentum at that moment, lets take our time and see what happens. "Both Miraz and I were new at the crease. The new ball was still on, so it was challenging. We wanted to drag the game and possibly get the momentum back on our side. Credit goes to Miraz for taking the initiative. I was struggling with the hand injury, but his early boundaries gave us rhythm.
