WI vs IND 2nd T20: Pooran fined 15% of match fee for criticising umpire

West Indies' wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran, the hero of their two-wicket victory over India in the second T20 International, on Monday has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for publicly criticising the umpires during the match here. Pooran's was a Level 1 offence and he was found to have breached Article 2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to "public criticism in relation to an incident occurring in an international match". Pooran admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction of a reprimand that was proposed by match referee, Richie Richardson, and as such there was no need for a formal hearing. In addition to this, one demerit point has also been added to Pooran's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period. The incident occurred following the review of a LBW decision in the fourth over of the India innings. Pooran criticised the umpires for having to use up a player review for a ..

WI vs IND 3rd T20 preview: Pooran big threat, batters must fire for India

India will need to bat with the fearlessness they often talk about as they look to avoid a series defeat in the third T20 International against the West Indies here on Tuesday. The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs. India, who last lost to the West Indies in a bilateral T20 series back in 2016, trail 0-2 in the five-match series. The shortest format demands the batters to go hard from ball one and that is something India's top-order, comprising Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav, have not been able to do. The top-order's failure has put extra pressure on the likes of Sanju Samson and rookie Tilak Varma, who has taken to international cricket like fish to water. With focus on ODIs in a World Cup year, Gill, Kishan and Suryakumar would want to be amongst runs ahead of the Asia Cup beginning August 31. "Batters need to ta

IND vs IRE: Ireland announce 15-member squad with Paul Stirling as captain

Ireland on Friday picked all-rounder Fionn Hand and Gareth Delany in their 15-member squad to face No 1 T20I team India in a three-match series to be played later this month. After the conclusion of their West Indies tour, India will travel to Ireland for the short series. They are currently playing against Windies in a five-match T20I series. The three T20Is between India and Ireland will be played on August 18, 20 and 23 at Malahide. Paul Stirling will be the captain of Ireland. While the majority of the squad reflects the playing group that successfully qualified for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup last week, the selectors have recalled Leinster Lightning all-rounder Fionn Hand and have included Gareth Delany who is returning from injury after breaking his wrist in Zimbabwe in June, Cricket Ireland said in a statement on its website. The upcoming series is the first T20 action for the national side since securing the T20 World Cup qualification and is being treated accordingly

Prasidh Krishna returns to competitive cricket; takes 4 wickets in KSCA T20

Raising hopes of his return to Team India white ball set-up, pacer Prasidh Krishna made a comeback to competitive cricket at the RSI grounds here on Monday during the KSCA T20 tournament for G Kasturirangan Memorial Trophy. Prasidh took four wickets conceding 36 runs (4-0-36-4) for Mount Joy Cricket Club while playing against Sir Syed Cricketers. This will be good news for selectors who will be soon picking teams for the upcoming white ball tour to Ireland and for the Asia Cup to be played in Sri Lanka. This will also give an option to India when the bigwigs sit down to select the team for the ICC World Cup 2023 to be played across October and November. However, Mount Joy could not chase down 156, getting restricted to 130 as Prasidh remained unbeaten on 1. "Prasidh is fit and the day's performance will give him a lot of confidence. He has been bowling at nets at NCA as well, and he has bowled in a few other match situations as well recently. He was able to bowl his quota of 10 ..

The Hundred: India's Jemimah Rodrigues to play for Northern Superchargers

India batter Jemimah Rodriogues has signed a last-minute deal to play for Northern Superchargers in the upcoming Hundred tournament in England, replacing Australia's Heather Graham. The 22-year-old Rodrigues was among the leading run-scorer in the inaugural season of the Hundred but missed a major chunk of the competition last year due to a wrist injury. According to espncricinfo.com, the Northern Superchargers had opted against retaining the Indian batter ahead of the draft in March this year, but have been able to bring her back in their side as an injury replacement. The development comes close to the news that Australia have withdrawn two of the country's biggest players, Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry from the tournament, which is starting on August 1 and runs until the August 27. Both Healy and Perry have been called back after they suffered injuries during Australia's second ODI against Ireland. Rodrigues thus became the fourth Indian player to feature in the Hundred this ye

Jasprit Bumrah is fully fit, might get picked for Ireland T20Is: Jay Shah

India will be sending a second string squad for the T20I series in Ireland but a fit-again pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is expected to be tested during the three matches in Malahide, BCCI serretary Jay Shah said on Thursday. Bumrah is currently doing his extensive rehabilitation at the NCA post surgery to cure his lower back stress fracture and is expected to play a couple of warm-up games before a final call is taken. "Bumrah is totally fit and he may go to Ireland," Shah told reporters here during a media conference. He also said that with 12 ODIs left before the World Cup, the endeavour will be to have a consistency in selection. "There will be consistency in selections apart from Ireland tour," Shah added, making it clear that save Bumrah, who will be making a comeback, none of the World Cup bound senior players, including T20 captain Hardik Pandya will be selected for the three-match series which starts within six days of completion of the five T20Is against West Indies in th

I don't like to change my aggressive batting style says Prithvi Shaw

After a bright start to his career, Prithvi Shaw has now slipped down the India pecking order but the Mumbai youngster on Saturday said he is banking on his natural "aggressive" game to score runs and earn his place back in the national side. Shaw last appeared for India in a T20I match against Sri Lanka at Colombo in July 2021. "Personally, I feel I don't have to change my game, but a little smarter than what I am. I can't bat like Pujara sir bats or Pujara sir can't bat like me. "So, what I am trying to do are those things that have brought me here till, for example, the aggressive batting, I don't like to change that," said Shaw after West Zone's Duleep Trophy semifinal against Central Zone at Alur. Shaw said he was looking to play as many games as possible at this stage of his career. The 23-year-old said every run would be very important for him in his endeavour to make a comeback. "I think whichever game for me right now is as important as anything. Even if I'm playing Dule
