Brendon McCullum, left, and Harry Brook  On the eve of an England one-day international, Harry Brook explained his actions from the eve of England's previous one-day international. The ripples of Brook's night out in Wellington, when he was "clocked" by a nightclub bouncer, washed up nearly 7,000 miles away in Colombo. In between the white-ball tours of New Zealand and Sri Lanka came the horrific Ashes series - an all-timer of a shambles. Dropped catches, awful shots, scatter

Washington Sundar Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand and is also a doubtful starter for the 2026 T20 World Cup beginning next month. The all-rounder sustained a side strain during the first ODI of the ongoing white-ball series against New Zealand. He walked off the field after bowling just five overs but later returned to bat, scoring an unbeaten 7 off 7 balls in India's four-wicket win in Vadodara. Following the match, Washin

Chasing 190, the Sixers riding on Smith, comfortably chased down the total with five wickets and 16 balls to spare. In front of over 40,000 people at the SCG, Babar Azam was the first to get the case moving with two boundaries in the first two overs. Smith

UP Warriorz Go out there, enjoy yourselves, back your skills. Meg Lanning had very few, and rather cliched, words for her team taking the field after three defeats on the bounce. A change of scenery after helming her team to three runners-up medals landed the Aussie in another franchise in WPL 2026, which endured a false start. Until, of course, they faced Mumbai Indians two nights ago where the narrative flipped, at least a little. They managed to add one W to their three Ls
