Bangladesh’s leg-spin factory has never been this busy, but out of all the new faces, Rishad Hossain is a name that echoes louder. The 21-year-old is not just a wrist-spinner but brings with him a certain attitude, agility, and ambition. The real question is how a shy boy from Dhaka became one of the tactical […]

Usually, if you suffer a 69 all-out defeat in your World Cup opener, you are advised to pack plenty of tissues for the return flight back home. But instead, South Africa’s women not only recover, but also change the scene. In three days, they went from embarrassment to excellence and turned a humiliating collapse into […]
Every generation in cricket has that quiet guardian, the one who turns experience into mentorship and skill into legacy. For Bangladesh women’s cricket, that figure is no longer Salma Khatun. It’s Nahida Akter, the left-arm spinner who now wears both the vice-captain’s badge and the responsibility of guiding the next generation through the same maze […]
Rohit Sharma’s removal as captain of India’s ODI team was not unexpected. The quality of his removal was perhaps that of a full stop (depending on what unfolds now) to one of Indian white-ball cricket’s most stable periods. The figures dazzle, the trophies glitter, but there is the question of whether India’s ODI dominance under […]
The announcement of India’s ODI squad for the Australia tour produced a more puzzled expression than cheers on everyone’s face and minds, to one name, Dhruv Jurel, a new entrant in ODIs, being chosen suddenly over the most popular of Indian cricketers, Sanju Samson (who averages over 56) in the format. This was a bold […]
In a tournament obsessed with raw speed, India’s 22-year-old Kranti Gaud is proving that discipline still beats drama. Her 3/20 demolition of Pakistan wasn’t just another good day at the office; it was a masterclass in controlled aggression.

In Guwahati, a 20-year-old quick bowler, with fire in her stride and swing in her wrist, made the cricket world glance askance. Could Marufa Akter be the pace revolution that Bangladesh never saw coming? For a […]
When a cricketer like Rohit Sharma, an exceptional batsman and one of the best modern-day captains, resigns as captain of India, it’s not merely a name change; it’s more of an emotional change. Following Shubman Gill’s announcement as the new ODI captain of India, former India batter Mohammad Kaif gave a reality check that raised […]
There’s something oddly poetic about Mitchell Marsh’s cricketing life. When he’s hot, he’s molten. When he’s cold, he’s frozen solid. Right now, though, Marsh is on fire hotter than a Perth summer. After back-to-back match-winning knocks in New Zealand and a T20I century that looked like he was playing a different sport altogether, whispers have […]
Every once in a while, cricket gifts us a leader who doesn’t just win matches but rewires the way we think about the game. Rohit Sharma, the man who turned calmness into a weapon and selflessness into a strategy, is exactly that. His journey as India’s captain wasn’t about chasing milestones or records (though he […]
So, it’s official, Shubman Gill is now India’s new ODI captain. The 26-year-old replaces Rohit Sharma, a man whose calm leadership and unmatched consistency helped India dominate the format for years. That’s a massive pair of shoes to fill, and no, we’re not just talking about Rohit’s size nine sneakers. Gill has already shown glimpses […]
