India's hockey legend PR Sreejesh on the heels of his fourth Olympic Games campaign, confirmed that he would be retiring from international hockey after the event in Paris. Sreejesh, who has had 328 appearances for India at the highest level, will be eyeing that elusive Olympic gold medal.

India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed a media briefing ahead of the team's departure to Sri Lanka for the six-match white-ball series. The new head coach also confirmed the support staff for the tour, which included two assistant coaches.

The BCCI selection committee head Ajit Agarkar spoke in detail about the questions and conjectures regarding India's squads for the Sri Lanka tour. One of the key pointers was the omission of players who performed in certain formats and Agarkar said that the selectors were hamstrung too.

The BCCI announced Team India's squads for ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka. While there were a few expected calls, there were some surprises as well, as usual whenever there is a team selection not just in T20Is but ODIs as well given the Men in Blue now have to prepare for Champions Trophy.

Team India would aim to seal the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe in the fourth encounter in Harare on Saturday, July 13. After winning the last two games with different combinations, the young Indian brigade will be confident of winning the series in the fourth match itself.

West Indies pacer Jayden Seales filled the press room with laughter when he was asked about the visitors' intention to give outgoing James Anderson a guard of honour when he came in to bat in his farewell Test match. Seales took four wickets for the West Indies in the first innings of Lord's Test.

Big Bash League (BBL) schedule for the 14th edition of the tournament was announced on Friday, July 12 with the Melbourne Stars set to take on the Perth Scorchers in the opening game at the Optus Stadium on December 15. A total of 44 matches are scheduled to take place with the final on January 27.

Ben Stokes on Thursday, July 11 became only the third cricket in Test history to achieve a double of 6,000 runs and 200 wickets in the format. Stokes took a couple of wickets in the West Indies' second innings, however, he would want to forget his day with the bat as his middle stump was uprooted.

India Champions sneaked in through to the semi-finals despite a 54-run loss to South Africa in their final group stage match. Australia Champions topped the table in the World Championship of Legends and the statement they made by scoring 275 runs against the West Indies, will make India sweat.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is likely to be scheduled in a hybrid model or get completely moved out of Pakistan with India unlikely to travel to the neighbouring country. Team India didn't travel to Pakistan for Asia Cup 2023 and unless some major diplomatic tweaks, the stand will remain as it is.

South Africa Champions after losing three matches in a row, ended their World Championship of Legends campaign on a high beating Pakistan and India in back-to-back games, however, they weren't enough for them to reach the semis. India with just a slightly better net run rate will now play Australia.

England are on their way to finding out if 'it's coming home' this time around or not as they sneaked past the Dutch to make it to the final of the European Championship for the second time in a row. England face Spain in the final after winning their semis clash 2-1 in Dortmund.
