Curran has warmed up with strapping on his right leg. Wasn't stopping him bowling. He was wearing it the other day also, probably no big deal Share Our man on the ground, Simon Burnton, has been in touch with the most important report of all the weather. He reports: Sunshine! Last night Kandy was on the receiving end of an extraordinary 10-hour thunderstorm, and the chances of this game being played felt very slim.

For Indian cricket fans travelling to Sri Lanka this weekend, the opportunity to watch their team take on archrivals Pakistan in the T20 World Cup has come at the cost of inflated airfares, soaring hotel prices and a long wait for matchday tickets. But these are mere sacrifices that thousands are willing to make to witness the most heated rivalry in the sport as it unfolds on Sunday at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

A sports agent was, according to the BBC, informed by an official of the ECB that Pakistani players on his list of cricketers looking to sign up for the Hundred would not be considered by teams linked to the IPL.

The England and Wales Cricket Board and all eight of The Hundred team franchises reaffirm their commitment to ensuring The Hundred continues to be a competition that is inclusive, welcoming and open to all. The Hundred was established to reach new audiences, grow the game of cricket and ensure that everyone—regardless of their ethnicity, gender, faith, nationality or other—can feel they belong in our sport.

9th over: Australia 81-0 (Voll 63, Mooney 18) Sree Charani comes into the attack with her left arm orthodox spin. Mooney takes a single and Voll decides it's time for another slog sweep, this time for the first six of the match. There's an appeal for lbw next ball, but there's a clear inside edge from Voll. Australia are applying some serious pressure to India here it's much improved batting from Sunday's match.

Sri Lanka, by contrast, breezed through their group with three wins from four, the most eye-catching of which was an eight-wicket dismantling of Australia, anchored by a superb century from Pathum Nissanka. A dead-rubber loss to Zimbabwe in their final group game will have taken the shine off slightly, but the co-hosts arrive in buoyant mood and with home advantage firmly on their side.

Apologies if you are just dipping into your morning muesli or evening meal but Marsh is suffering with testicular bleeding. Poor chap. He [Marsh] is experiencing ongoing pain and discomfort which is restricting his movement, say Cricket Australia in their statement. Scans have confirmed internal testicular bleeding, and he will require a period of rest and rehabilitation. His return to play will be guided by symptom resolution and medical advice.

England's two white-ball series in South Africa next year are currently in doubt amid the latest scheduling clash that pits franchise cricket against the international game. As it stands, England's men are due to play three Tests, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s in South Africa next winter. The white-ball leg of this rare full tour to the country represents an important scouting mission for the World Cup that South Africa are co-hosting in late 2027.

For most of a warm and breezy Sunday afternoon in Mumbai, the Wankhede Stadium felt closer to Kathmandu than India's southern metropolis as thousands of Nepalese fans sang, danced and dared to dream while their cricket team took on the mighty England in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. A sea of red and blue replica shirts heaved in every nook and corner of the iconic 33,000-capacity venue, with supporters turning the famed Indian stadium into their adopted home.

After Pakistan announced their boycott of the forthcoming T20I World Cup match against India, the International Cricket Council (ICC) was quick to lament the position the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had put fans in. [Pakistan's] decision is not in the interest of the global game or the welfare of fans worldwide, the ICC said in a release, before going on to make special mention of millions in Pakistan, who will now have no India fixture to anticipate.
