Melbourne, Sep 3 (Ians) Rashid Khan, Harry Brook, Quinton De Kock and Tom Curran headline a list of 21 overseas players selected in the second edition of the Bbl overseas draft. Sunday’s draft saw 374 players from 29 countries put their names forward for selection in eight squads ahead of Bbl season 13.
Round one was full of excitement and key retention picks, with seven Clubs selecting Platinum players. Melbourne Stars attempted to use their first pick to recruit Rashid, the world’s best T20 bowler, from the Adelaide Strikers, before he was retained for a seventh straight season by the club in blue.
“I wouldn’t have been allowed back into South Australia (if we didn’t pick Rashid). It was a no-brainer for us. For any team, if Rash is available you would look to pick him… he is the best spinner in the world,” said Jason Gillespie, Strikers’ head coach, on buying back Rashid.

Durham, England, Aug 31 (Ians) Young cricketer Harry Brook did his chances of a late call-up to England’s squad for this year’s Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup squad no harm with a stunning knock against New Zealand in the opening match of their T20I series at Chester-le-Street, here.
Brook was a glaring omission from the preliminary World Cup squad that England named earlier this month and the 24-year-old has reacted well since the news with a string of excellent scores, reports Icc.
The right-hander smashed a century in his last match in England’s domestic T20 competition last week and followed that up with an eye-catching 43* from just 27 deliveries against the Kiwis to help his side clinch a comfortable seven-wicket victory.
England captain Jos Buttler indicated earlier this month that Brook was still an outside chance of earning a place in the final World Cup squad that...

London, Aug 27 (Ians) Eoin Morgan, the 2019 Men’s Odi World Cup-winning captain, has backed England’s thought process over the omission of Harry Brook from the upcoming Men’s Odi World Cup squad.
On August 16, Brook’s omission came from England’s Odi squad due to all-rounder Ben Stokes coming out of his retirement from the format to help England defend their World Cup title in India, won four years ago on home soil, from October 5 to November 19, thus sparking a wide-ranging debate since then.
Despite fetching tremendous success in Tests and T20Is, Brook has only played three ODIs for England, all of it against South Africa earlier this year. At the domestic level, he last played a 50-over game for Yorkshire in 2019, due to the competition clashing with the Hundred in the last three years.

London, Aug 26 (Ians) England’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler said all-rounder Ben Stokes coming out of Odi retirement to play in the Odi World Cup later this year as a specialist batter has changed the dynamic of the team a little bit.
Stokes, who was adjudged Player of the Match in a dramatic 2019 Men’s Odi World Cup final at Lord’s, will be playing 50-over cricket again to help England defend their title in India from October 5 to November 19.
“Of course, Ben Stokes coming back and being available just as a batter sort of changes the dynamic a little bit. Ben’s a fantastic player to be able to welcome back, so it’s a really tough selection,” Buttler was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.

London, Aug 26 (Ians) England’s white-ball captain Jos Buttler hinted about Harry Brook’s chance of making the England World Cup squad, and said selectors are still eyeing him for the mega tournament.
“There’s still a long time before everyone is meant to get on the plane, so we’ll wait and see what happens. We all know Harry’s a fantastic player and we saw what he could do the other night. It’s not like it’s a surprise: we know what a brilliant player he is, he’s just the unfortunate one at the moment to not be in that squad at the moment,” Buttler was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
In the ongoing Men’s Hundred 2023, Brook played an exhilarating unbeaten inning of 105 runs in 42 deliveries for Northern Superchargers against Welsh Fire on Tuesday and took his team to an 8-wicket victory.

London, Aug 24 (Ians) Former England cricketer Mark Butcher believes that the omission of young in-form batter Harry Brook from England’s squad for the Icc Odi World Cup is a ‘mistake’. Last week, Brook was surprisingly left out of England’s provisional Odi World Cup squad as well as for the upcoming Odi series against New Zealand at home.
Brook’s omission came due to all-rounder Ben Stokes coming out of retirement from the format to help England defend their Odi World Cup title in India, won four years ago on home soil, from October 5 to November 19.
Despite fetching tremendous success in Tests and T20Is, Brook has only played three ODIs for England, all of them against South Africa earlier this year.

London, Aug 19 (Ians) Young right-handed batter Harry Brook opened up about him missing out on England’s provisional squad for the upcoming Men’s Odi World Cup in India, saying that he is trying not to think about it and needs to just move on from it.
Earlier this week, Brook was left out from England’s Odi squad, also to face New Zealand in a series at home, in favour of talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes, who came out of his Odi retirement in England’s quest to defend their championship title in India, won four years ago on home soil.
“Obviously it’s disappointing but I can’t do anything about it now. You’ve just got to move on. I’m trying not to think about it anymore. I’ve not had much conversation with Matthew (Mott) or Jos (Buttler). They said with Stokesy coming back I was...

Hobart, Aug 18 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine has found Ben Stokes’ return to the Odi side ahead of the World Cup in India from October 5 to November 19 interesting, saying that it seemed the all-rounder had a pick-and-choose option of the events he wants to play.
Earlier this week, Stokes reversed his decision to retire from Odi cricket, which was made last year, for England’s upcoming series against New Zealand at home. It means that Stokes, Player of the Match in the 2019 World Cup final at Lord’s, will be available for the side’s defence of their title in India.
“Ben Stokes coming out of one-day retirement, I found that interesting. It was a bit of, ‘Me, me, me’, there isn’t it? It was, ‘I’ll pick, and I’ll choose where I want to play and when I want to play’, and ‘I’ll play...

London, Aug 16 (Ians) England on Wednesday received a huge boost ahead of the Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 as their Test captain Ben Stokes reversed his decision to retire from 50-over format and will return to Odi setup in the upcoming four-match series against New Zealand.
England selector Luke Wright confirmed that the 15 players named for New Zealand ODIs are also part of the provisional squad for the World Cup, where their campaign will get underway against New Zealand, in a rematch of the epic 2019 final at Lord’s.
“It wasn’t really a case of changing his mind. He was always interested in coming back. He had to make that priority of getting through the Ashes, have a break and give the body a rest. It wasn’t a case of needing to beg him or anything like that, he was always keen, so it was actually fairly straightforward.

London, July 29 (Ians) Zak Crawley, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow blasted half-centuries as England scored close to 400 runs on the third day of the fifth and final Test of the Ashes 2023 series, taking a massive 377-run lead against Australia at The Oval on Saturday.
Crawley blasted a 75-ball 73, Root blazed to 91 off 106 deliveries while Jonny Bairstow hammered 78 off 103 balls as England continued with their Bazball tactics as they reached 389/9 in 80 overs at stumps on the third day.
Opener Ben Duckett (42) and skipper Ben Stokes (42) nearly reached their half-centuries as England snatched away the initiative from Australia after being bowled out for 283 in their first innings. The hosts came back to restrict Australia to 295 and then turned the game in their favour with high-tempo scoring that left the Aussies gasping for most of the day.

London, July 28 (Ians) Trailing 1-2 in the Ashes 2023 series and shot out for 283 in their first innings in the fifth and final Test, England are sweating on the availability of all-rounder Moeen Ali for the remaining part of the match.
Moeen, England’s main spinner in the match, was hurt on Thursday evening while running between the wickets in England’s first innings on Thursday at The Oval and did not take to the field in the final session on day one.

London, July 28 (Ians) Australia had a productive outing on day one of the fifth and final Ashes 2023 Test at The Oval, bowling out England for 283 before openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner made a solid start with the bat, here on Thursday.
Khawaja (26 not out) and Marnus Labuschagne (2 not out) were unbeaten at the crease, with Australia ending on 61/1 at stumps on Day 1, trailing England by 222 runs.
Winning the toss and opting to bowl first, Pat Cummins and his men had to face a slog at the start, with England coming out all guns blazing. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley took the aggressive route, attacking the Australian pacers.
Australia got their first breakthrough with Mitchell Marsh dismissing Ben Duckett for 41 in the 12th over. The next over saw Cummins dismiss Crawley for 22. Australia continued building on their momentum, with Joe Root being dismissed by Hazlewood in the 16th over.

London, July 26 (Ians) England have named an unchanged playing eleven for the fifth and final Ashes Test against Australia starting at The Oval from Thursday.
Veteran fast-bowler James Anderson, who turns 41 during the fifth Test, has retained his place in the playing eleven despite taking only four wickets in his three Tests of the series so far.
Stuart Broad will also play at The Oval, making him the only England bowler to play all five matches of the Ashes, with Chris Woakes overcoming a soreness issue in his quadriceps to be fit to play in the fifth Ashes Test.
Australia have retained the Ashes with the fourth Test at Old Trafford ending in a draw due to rain on day five’s play. The result means that the Ashes urn will be headed back to Australia after this series ends.

London, July 26 (Ians) England batter Harry Brook believes that his side will walk away with a “moral victory” if they win the fifth and final Test at The Oval and draw the Ashes 2023 series against Australia.
Rain washed away England’s hopes of levelling the series on day five of the fourth Test in Manchester as Australia retained their hold on the urn. But the hosts are now determined to level the series at 2-2 and salvage some pride from a series where they have shown dominance on certain occasions.
“We were dominating the game last week so if the game had played out, I would like to think we would have won. So, if we can win this week, yeah it can be a moral victory,” Brook told Sky Sports.
“We were thinking that (we deserve something) last week when it was pouring down in Manchester. It never seems to be sunny there.

“We were thinking that (we deserve something) last week when it was pouring down in Manchester. It never seems to be sunny there.

London, July 24 (Ians) England have named an unchanged 14-member squad for the fifth Ashes Test against Australia starting at The Oval from Thursday. Australia have retained the Ashes with the fourth Test at Old Trafford ending in a draw due to rain on Sunday.

The Ben Stokes-led side were in a dominant position for the majority of the match but were denied a crack at victory due to rain not allowing any play to happen on Day Five. It’s also the first time that England have played a draw under Stokes’ leadership.
England will now be hoping to win the fifth and final Ashes Test at The Oval and push for a 2-2 draw to end the series on a high. Australia, after being on the backfoot at Manchester, will now have...

Manchester, July 20 (Ians) Opener Zak Crawley slammed a magnificent 189 off 182 deliveries and put England in commanding position against Australia as hosts were 384-4 with a vital lead of 67 runs at stumps on day two of the fourth Ashes 2023 Test at Old Trafford, here on Thursday.
With an eye on the weather in Manchester coming into play on days four and five, Crawley led England’s batting charge from the front, hitting 12 fours and a maximum to hit a sensational maiden Ashes century in just 93 balls, as Australia were left rattled by the opener’s blazing knock.
Moeen Ali justified him being slotted on number three with a knock of 54 before Mitchell Starc took him out. Crawley and Joe Root (84 off 95 balls) joined forces to hit a jaw-dropping 178 runs from 25 overs in an extraordinary show of stroke-play in the second session, as England bossed the day’s play, leaving Australia listless.

Old Trafford (Manchester), July 18 (Ians) Fast-bowling all-rounder Cameron Green and pace Josh Hazlewood made their return as Australia announced their Playing XI for the fourth match of the ongoing Ashes 2023 series, with visitors to go into a Test without a specialist spinner for the first time in over a decade.
Scott Boland and Todd Murphy make way for Green and Hazlewood from the side that lost by three wickets at Headingley.
Fit-again Green, who missed the Leeds Test with a hamstring injury, has been listed to bat at seven, behind Mitch Marsh at No.6, with wicketkeeper Alex Carey to come in at No.8 as the Aussies rejigged the balance of their side to squeeze in their two all-rounders.
Marsh struck a blazing century in Leeds to guarantee his spot, leaving Murphy as the fall guy with Green coming back into the side to give captain Pat Cummins five pace bowling options.
