SonyLIV will stream the England vs India first T20 match through its app and website
Fans have to wait to see Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as he doesn't make his debut for Team India tonight. Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and decided to bat first.
England have their tactics drawn up for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi even as suspense prevails over the Indian batting sensation's T20I debut in the series opener here on Wednesday. The three-time world champions India will take on England in a five-match series starting here on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen if the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi gets to make his T20I debut. Brook, who is being touted to take over the Test captaincy following Ben Stokes' retirement, said England have worked out their tactics for the left-handed opening batter. "We've got our tactics and hopefully they work," Brook said on the eve of the opening match when asked about the possibility of facing Sooryavanshi. "There's been a lot of digging behind the scenes to see what we can do to try and stop them from playing their best cricket," he added. Sooryavanshi finished as the top scorer in this year's IPL with a jaw-dropping strike rate of over 230. He amassed 776 runs to be adjudged the Most Valuable Player as w
England head coach Brendon McCullum revealed that he tried to persuade Ben Stokes to reconsider his decision to retire from international cricket, but said the captain had made up his mind by then. England lost the third and final Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge by 160 on Monday, conceding the series 1-2. But Stokes announced his adieu on the fourth day of the match itself, shocking everyone around. But McCullum said he "tried to talk him down." "When he confirmed to me that he was going to retire, first I tried to talk him down (laughs) and... (it) became pretty obvious that he had made his decision and he was at peace within," McCullum told Sky Sports. "From that point of view, I guess your emotion then leads on to just a bit of sadness really because you have been on this journey together for four years and it's been a real thrill. I feel very privileged that I've been able to work intimately with Stokesy throughout that and consider him a friend, a good friend." McCul
India's top-order struggles in Ireland have strengthened the case for the teenage batting sensation, but breaking into the playing XI remains far from straightforward
Stokes bows out as one of England's most accomplished all-rounders, having played pivotal roles in the country's ODI World Cup triumph in 2019 and the T20 World Cup title in 2022

Premier batter Virat Kohli was on Sunday named in India's squad for the three-match ODI series against England next month, subject to fitness clearance, as the BCCI announced team for the upcoming white-ball assignment. The selection committee picked a 15-member squad for the ODI series, to be led by Shubman Gill, with Rohit Sharma also included. Kohli's inclusion remains dependent on a fitness clearance, according to a note issued by the BCCI along with the squad announcement. The in-form Kohli is set to appear in a fitness test on Monday in Bengaluru. Shreyas Iyer remains the vice-captain, while KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan were selected as wicketkeepers. India will play the three ODIs against England at Edgbaston (July 14), Sophia Gardens (July 16) and Lord's (July 19). The BCCI also announced an updated squad for the T20I series against Ireland after spinner Varun Chakravarthy was ruled out. The board said Chakravarthy is in the final stages of rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre
England launched its home Women's Twenty20 World Cup in style by crushing Sri Lanka by 87 runs at Edgbaston. After making the highest total in tournament history - 219-1 - with 105 not out by opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge, England dismissed Sri Lanka for 132 on Friday. Left-arm pacer Freya Kemp took a career-best 4-21 including three wickets in one over that reduced Sri Lanka to 92-8. But it was England's record-setting batting that shone on a sunny evening in front of 14,865 fans. Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones, who was pushed up the order to open, combined for 100 inside 10 overs. Jones was dropped on 12 and 48 and was out for 53 off 38 balls. But her's and Wyatt-Hodge's stand of 135 was England's highest opening partnership in T20 World Cup history. Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, only just back from a torn calf in April, was dropped on 14. But her unbeaten 46 off 22 balls shot her past Charlotte Edwards, the former captain and current England coach, to be England's highest run-scorer in T20 W
