South Africa registered an impressive win over Bangladesh in the first Test match at Mirpur, after a decade-long wait for a Test match win in Asia. The victory propelled South Africa to the fourth spot in the World Test Championship points table, taking them one step closer to securing a spot in the WTC Final next year at Lord’s. The star of the match for South Africa was Kagiso Rabada, who claimed nine wickets in the game, while Kyle Verreynne’s century in the first innings and Mehidy Hasan’s fighting knock for Bangladesh were other highlights of the match.
Despite a disappointing campaign for India, Harmanpreet Kaur stood out as the captain was the only player from India to make the 2024 Team of the Tournament announced by the ICC. Kaur's batting prowess shone through as she finished as India's top scorer and fourth-highest overall, with an impressive average of 150 and strike rate of 133.92. South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt and Lizelle Lee also earned spots in the team for their stellar performances at the top of the order, along with England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge who notched the most runs for her team.
The Indian women's cricket team is gearing up for their first ODI against New Zealand, but without their captain Harmanpreet Kaur. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced via a post on X that Kaur will be sitting out due to a niggle, leaving Smriti Mandhana to handle the captaincy. This comes after India's disappointing performance at the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, which has sparked discussions about replacing Kaur as the T20 captain. Batting legend and former captain Mithali Raj suggests that if a change in leadership is necessary, it should be done sooner rather than later to ensure proper preparation for the next World Cup.
On the first day of the second test match against New Zealand, Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin broke the record for the most wickets taken in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) tournament. With this historic achievement, Ashwin has solidified his spot as one of the most talented and skilled bowlers in the world of cricket. This momentous occasion is a testament to Ashwin's hard work and dedication to the sport, making all of India proud.
Tamil Nadu all-rounder Washington Sundar displayed his brilliance with both bat and ball in the 2nd Test against New Zealand as he took his first Test wicket in more than three and a half years. His magic delivery to breach Rachin Ravindra's defence and end his comfortable 65-run knock has been making rounds on the internet. Sundar also impressed with his bowling in the third session, getting rid of Tom Blundell and Daryl Mitchell, helping India dominate the Kiwis on Day 1.
After a steady start by New Zealand's batters, Washington Sundar's timely wickets in the second session, along with R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja's spin attack, helped India keep the visitors in check on Day 1 of the 3rd Test match. Despite half-centuries by Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, the Indian bowlers were able to restrict New Zealand to 201 for 5 by the end of the session on a slow pitch that offered little support.
AB de Villiers, considered one of the greatest batters in cricket, has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. De Villiers, who retired from international cricket in 2018, expressed his gratitude for the game and the memories it has given him. His impressive career spanned 14 years, during which he scored over 20,000 runs and was named ICC's ODI Player of the Year three times. De Villiers was also included in multiple ICC Teams of the Decade.
Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar defended Rohit Sharma's decision to leave out spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the second Test against New Zealand. He supported the inclusion of in-form seamer Akash Deep and spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar in the playing eleven for the crucial match, stating that Kuldeep's artistry would not be needed on a pitch offering a lot of assistance to the bowlers. However, former Indian great Sunil Gavaskar expressed disappointment with Kuldeep's exclusion and viewed the addition of Washington as a panicked move. The Indian team, led by Sharma, will have to win this Test to maintain their unbeaten home record in the last 12 years and stay in the race for a spot in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) finals.
In a shocking move, Mumbai's prestigious Khar Gymkhana has cancelled the membership of Jemimah Rodrigues, one of India's top women cricketers.

This incident raises questions about the role of religion in sporting institutions and how they should handle such sensitive matters.
