Chamari Athapaththu to captain Sri Lanka in Women's ODI World Cup 2025

Chamari Athapaththu will lead Sri Lanka in the Women's ODI World Cup later this month with the hope that the co-hosts would break the jinx of never having made the final of the prestigious event in the previous 12 editions. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Wednesday announced the 15-member squad for the eight-team tournament, being jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, with the experienced trio of Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshika Silva and Anushka Sanjeewani adding depth to the side. With 336 runs at 48 in eight matches including four half-centuries, Harshitha has been Sri Lanka's best batter this year while Dewmi Vihanga has topped the charts for the island nation with 11 scalps in four matches. In eight ODIs this year, Sri Lanka have lost five, won two and one ended with no result. After losing to New Zealand 0-2 in an away series, Sri Lanka lost to India in the final of the ODI tri-series also involving South Africa, which they hosted earlier in May this year.

India rely on Arshdeep's rhythm and Bumrah's continuity at Asia Cup 2025

Arshdeep Singh's ability to regain "match rhythm" quickly and Jasprit Bumrah's capacity to play continuously without rest will define India's Asia Cup campaign, feels former national bowling coach Bharat Arun. Arun said Arshdeep, despite extensive bowling in England, is still short on competitive overs. He did play a Duleep Trophy game for North Zone though. India begin their Asia Cup campaign on Wednesday against the UAE. "Arshdeep, we all know what he is capable of doing. He must have bowled a lot in England, but he is definitely short of match practice. The rhythm really comes from playing matches no matter how much you bowl in the net and practice sessions," Arun told PTI during an exclusive interview. "I think it is important to bowl in matches. It's a big challenge for Arshdeep. How quickly he gets back his match rhythm would be very, very important. It can be in a jiffy or it can take him a couple of matches to get into rhythm," added the coach, who had two fairly successful

Hail 'The Che': Pujara, man of steel who scored runs with context

Cheteshwar Pujara never had a cover drive like Virat Kohli. Neither he took your breath away with a falling hook shot like Rishabh Pant nor did he play a short-arm pull with the finesse of Rohit Sharma that could send the fans into raptures. But in the era of uber-stylish batters, Pujara was that glue that held the Indian batting together for a decade between 2013-14 till 2023 over a period of 100 plus Test matches. His contribution to Indian cricket is not measured in sixes or strike-rates, but in time, grit, and unyielding defiance against the world's best attacks. If Virat Kohli was the structure of the beautiful edifice that was Indian Test batting, Cheteshwar Pujara was definitely the foundation. Those who swore by the virtue of patience that Test cricket always stood for, Pujara was that slice from the bygone days when T20 wasn't even an idea. An obsessed father Arvind, a small time first-class cricketer with limited means but with big dreams, and a mother, who was a silent

Iyer's Asia Cup omission 'weird', says AB de Villiers, citing team factors

South African batting great AB de Villiers found it weird that a batter of Shreyas Iyer's calibre has been left out of India's Asia Cup squad and tried second guessing if his omission could be linked to what the batter could bring to the table for the team off the field. Iyer, who had an impressive domestic season and also led his IPL franchise Punjab Kings into the final by scoring more than 600 runs at a strike-rate of 170 plus, failed to find a place in the 15-member squad announced earlier this week. "It is tough, guys. I was just going through the squad. I was thinking, where can we fit Shreyas in, because I've seen all the headlines and some fans being upset. I think Shreyas will be the most upset because he's played some really good cricket over the last few years," De Villiers said during a live chat with cricket fans on X. "He's matured a lot. He has shown a lot of leadership qualities, but who knows what is going on behind closed doors? No one. Not me. Not you guys. "Mayb
