Arjit Kumar - Thursday, Sep 11, 2025The International Cricket Council (ICC) has taken a historic step regarding the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 starting later this month. Let us tell you that today on 11 September, the ICC has announced 18 match officials for the tournament. However, it is worth noting here that all these officials are women. This time male match officials have not been included.
Former Indian captain Kapil Dev has given his opinion on the much-awaited India-Pakistan match in Asia Cup and urged people to avoid making it a big issue. He has said that “the government will do its job and the players should do their job.”
Ever since the announcement of the schedule of Asia Cup, there has been a debate on whether a cricket match between India and Pakistan should take place, especially considering the strained political relations between the two countries after the Pahalgam attack.
The Uttarakhand High Court has directed the BCCI to respond to several petitions alleging massive financial irregularities in the Uttarakhand Cricket Association. The case relates to claims of misuse of government money, inflated expenditure and lack of basic amenities for players.
The controversy began when Dehradun resident Sanjay Rawat and others filed petitions pointing to the audit report of the CAU's accounts for the financial year 2024-25. The report, prepared by an external chartered accountant, indicated suspicious expenses, including a shocking bill of Rs 35 lakh in the form of bananas for the players.
During a conversation on Sony Sports, Jadeja responded, “The four wickets he took were unfair to him. Forget the five matches in which you didn’t play him (in the Test series against England). I am saying it in a light-hearted manner, because people can take it seriously. When he took two wickets in his first two overs, Shivam Dube was brought in to bowl, and he was removed because he is fit (in the team),” Jadeja said.
Pat Cummins hopes to resume bowling at least a month before the Ashes begin on November 21, but believes there is no fixed timeline yet for his recovery from a back strain. The 32-year-old Australian skipper has been suffering from a back problem since the Test series win on the Caribbean tour two months ago and has already been ruled out of the upcoming limited-overs series against New Zealand and India.
India began their campaign in the Asia Cup 2025 with a stunning nine-wicket win over the UAE in Dubai. However, the Men in Blue left out star pacer Arshdeep Singh from the playing XI.
Arshdeep, India’s highest wicket-taker in T20 Internationals and regarded as one of the best death bowlers in the world, was left out of the playing XI. In his place, India fielded just one main pacer in Jasprit Bumrah, who was supported by Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. That’s why Irfan asked this question.
Virat Kohli's nephew Aryaveer was recently bought by Delhi Premier League 2024 runners-up South Delhi Superstarz for Rs 1 lakh. Although his uncle is one of the greatest Indian batsmen, Aryaveer has taken a different path. He is a leg-spinner and revealed how he started spin bowling. "I used to bowl from the beginning. I loved leg spin and I started doing that. I watched a lot of videos of Yuzvendra Chahal and Shane Warne. That's how I became a leg-spinner."
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha sat out most of his team's practice session on Wednesday due to neck spasms, raising concerns over his fitness ahead of the crucial Asia Cup match against arch-rivals India.
Agha was seen walking around with the rest of the team at the ICC Cricket Academy in Dubai with a bandage on his neck. According to a report in Geo News, the 31-year-old Agha did not exert himself much.
