The introduction of concussion replacements and a change to over-rate punishments were two of the major decisions made at the ICC Annual Conference in London, where the headline was the decision to suspend Zimbabwe Cricket, according to an official release from ICC.

Rohit Sharma To Be Captain in ODIs and T20Is While Virat Kohli to Continue as Test Skipper? Ever since the Indian team suffered ouster in World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand, there have been talks about the problem areas for the Virat Kohli and company. One of such issues that came to the forefront was the captainship. Although Virat Kohli is doing great for Indian cricket as a captain in all the three formats, BCCI has plans of introducing split captaincy for the Indian team. A BCCI official was earlier quoted by IANS as saying that Rohit Sharma can be chosen to lead the Indian team in ODIs and T20s, while Kohli will lead the team in Tests. A review meeting is soon to be taken up by the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to assess the team India's performance in World Cup 2019. It is likely that the plan of split captaincy would also be discussed during the meeting. Sharma is the vice-captain of the Indian team at present. In IPL tournaments, he is the s...

Australian newspapers lose Chris Gayle masseuse defamation appeal An Australian media group on Tuesday lost an appeal against an Australian dollar 300,000 (USD 211,000) defamation payout to West Indies cricket star Chris Gayle after claiming he exposed his genitals to a masseuse. Gayle was accused by former media group Fairfax, which at the time was the publisher of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, of exposing his genitals and indecently propositioning the woman in a dressing room during the 2015 World Cup in Sydney. Gayle vigorously denied the allegations, claiming the journalists behind the series of stories published in the newspapers in 2016 were out to "destroy him". He won the defamation case in October last year after jurors found Fairfax was motivated by malice and had failed to establish a defense of truth. The publisher appealed the case arguing it did not receive a fair trial and the judge should have discharged the jury after Gayle's...

He was on a good 90 seconds/two minutes before a single steward made their way onto the field. Two finally rolled on by barely made a move towards him. Absolute joke. The game hasn't restarted. He's now broke free and is still on the field. The game is still at a standstill. Five minutes we've been stopped now. Well that was a tackle or three with the streaker @cricketworldcup won’t post the video but a few selected shots that are just about allowed

Ravindra Jadeja hit back at Sanjay Manjrekar India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Wednesday hit back at cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar who had called him a 'bits and pieces' player. Manjrekar had made the remark when asked about Jadeja's possible inclusion in the playing eleven after India's loss to England at the ICC World Cup on Sunday. Reacting to Manjrekar's 'bits and pieces' remarks, Jadeja took to Twitter and said, "Still i have played twice the number of matches you have played and i m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved. i have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea "I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50-over cricket. In Test matches, he is a pure bowler. But in 50-over cricket, I would rather have a batsman and a spinner," Manjrekar had said, when asked about whether Jadeja can be played in place of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuld...

Cricket world cup: Bees interrupt South Africa and Sri Lanka again A swarm of bees forced the players of South Africa and Sri Lanka to dive onto the ground during their Cricket World Cup clash at the Riverside Stadium on Friday -- but for many on the pitch there was a sense of deja vu. Bees halting international cricket matches is not common, yet it has now happened to the same two teams some two years and 10,000 kilometers apart. The stoppage on Friday lasted only a few minutes, but when South Africa and Sri Lanka clashed at The Wanderers in Johannesburg in a One-Day International in February 2017, the game was halted for over an hour before the swarm moved on "I remember the last time, it was at Johannesburg against Sri Lanka, the same thing happened,” South Africa captain Faf du Plessis told reporters. "It is very funny. Looks like someone's just had a machine-gun through all the players on the field and everyone is down on the ground. ...

England's World Cup hopes hang in the balance after a demoralising defeat by Australia at Lord's. England lose to Australia in Cricket World Cup at Lord's England's World Cup hopes hang in the balance after a demoralising defeat by Australia at Lord's. The 64-run loss means they might need to win their last two games, beginning with India at Edgbaston on Sunday, in order to make the last four. Much will depend on the results of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, who can all overhaul Eoin Morgan's men. The hosts began the tournament as favourites, but now have little margin for error, with this loss following Friday's shock reverse to Sri Lanka to make a total of three defeats in seven games. They actually did well to restrict Australia to 285-7, especially after captain Aaron Finch's century helped his team to 173-1. However, that target was always going to be a challenge against the dangerous Australia attack in conditions ide...
