Zaheer eager to regain India spot

Zaheer Khan, the India fast bowler, has said he is eager to reclaim his spot in the Indian team and is looking to regain top form and fitness

ESPNcricinfo staff19-May-2013Zaheer Khan, the India fast bowler, has said he is eager to reclaim his spot in the Indian team and that he will utilise the time after the IPL to work on his fitness and form. Zaheer was out of action for four-and-a-half months before playing two matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier this week.”I’m definitely feeling much better but I know I’ve still got a long way to go,” Zaheer told the IPL website. “Post IPL I have to put in some serious work into my fitness and form to reclaim my place in the Indian team. That’s what’s on my mind right now – I want to use that period after the IPL to get stronger, fitter and improve in all the areas.”India will play the Champions Trophy after the IPL but Zaheer was not included in the squad of 15 for the tournament. Before the IPL, he last played for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy last December in a league game against Gujarat but sustained a calf injury which forced him out of the knockout stages and the Irani Cup.”I was itching to get back on the field but I always take my time to come back whenever I am injured,” Zaheer said. “This time too, I could have played a couple of matches earlier but it’s always good to be a game late than coming back too early. That was the thinking between the trainer, physio and me.”On grounds of form and fitness, he had been dropped during the home Test series against England late last year and for the ODIs against Pakistan.

Sporting heritage in MCC YC squad

Three players with significant sporting pedigree will become MCC Young Cricketers this season

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Feb-2012Three players with significant sporting pedigree will become MCC Young Cricketers this season. Liam Gough, son of former England fast bowler Darren, Billy Root, brother of Yorkshire batsman Joe, and Jamie Hoddle, son of former England footballer Glen, and are among 19 players in the 2012 squad.Unlike his father, Gough is a batsman who bowls offspin. He turned 17 in November and is the youngest member of the new intake. Hoddle, meanwhile, is an allrounder and is part of the Middlesex academy.Dipayan Paul from Blackheath is the other new recruit to the squad, hoping to build a professional career and follow New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor and Gloucestershire allrounder Will Gidman as successful recent graduates.MCC Young Cricketers benefit from state-of-the-art facilities at Lord’s and will compete in the south group of the Second XI Championship. They will also attend a pre-season training camp in Abu Dhabi alongside the combined MCC Universities.Several players from abroad will also be part of the squad. New Zealander Henry Nicholls made his debut for Canterbury before Christmas and was recommended to MCC by former Australia coach John Buchanan. Australians Ben Dougall and Alex Ross will also arrive as part of a reciprocal arrangement with the Darren Lehman Cricket Academy.MCC head coach, the former Gloucestershire and England allrounder Mark Alleyne, said: “I am delighted with the composition of the squad this year,” Alleyne said. “There is excellent strength and depth in all disciplines and I am looking forward to seeing how they develop as a group during the season.”The main aim for all the players this summer is sustainability and consistency. All of the guys are very talented young cricketers and they are all capable of putting in special performances – but the key is to be able to play well on a regular basis.”

Smith ton gives Derbyshire hope

Greg Smith hit a brilliant 130 as Derbyshire battled valiantly to stay in the
game on the third day at Bristol

10-Apr-2011
Scorecard
Greg Smith hit a brilliant 130 as Derbyshire battled valiantly to stay in the
game on the third day at Bristol.The 27-year-old South African produced a dazzling array of strokes to hit 21
fours in a 141-ball knock that threatened to turn the match after his side had
been reduced to 161 for 5 in their second innings, still 25 runs behind.Smith dominated a sixth-wicket stand of 128 with Luke Sutton (25), but both
then fell in quick succession and Derbyshire were bowled out for 331, a lead of
just 145, Chesney Hughes contributing 60. By the close Gloucestershire had
reached 19 for one and need 127 more tomorrow for the win.Left-arm seamer David Payne claimed 5 for 76 on his first class debut, while
Will Gidman produced the most economical bowling with one for 29 from 16 overs.Derbyshire began the day on 30 without loss, needing a further 156 to make
Gloucestershire bat again. Only three runs had been added when Garry Park was
caught behind fending at a lifting delivery from Jon Lewis.It was 54 for 2 when Wayne Madsen fell lbw for 34 to a delivery from Liam
Norwell that nipped back and 86 for three when Wes Durston fenced at a delivery
from the accurate Gidman and wicketkeeper Jonathan Batty took the catch.By lunch the visitors had progressed to 113 for 3, with Hughes unbeaten on
43. Five runs were added before Dan Redfern played down the wrong line to Payne
and departed lbw for 8.The powerful Hughes reached a half-century soon after the interval with a
flowing drive off Payne, his 11th boundary in facing 65 balls. But Payne soon
took revenge by having Hughes caught behind off a good length ball with the
total on 161.By then Smith was already counter-attacking with gusto, producing some superb
cover drives. Sutton was happy to just hold up the other end, taking 45 minutes
to get off the mark and contributing only two to the first 50 runs of the
partnership.Smith had one giant slice of good fortune when dropped by Chris Dent at second
slip off Norwell on 99 in the over before tea. He forced the next delivery
through the off-side for two to bring up his ton off 104 balls.Tea was reached with the total at 251 for 5. Smith and Sutton stayed
together until the fifth over with the second new ball, which saw Lewis knock
back Smith’s off-stump. The stand was a Derbyshire record for the sixth wicket
against Gloucestershire.Sutton fell four balls later as Dent redeemed himself with a diving slip catch
off Ian Saxelby and Payne quickly polished off the tail.

Honours even on opening day

Medium-pacer Stiaan van Zyl grabbed four wickets and opener Shamsur Rahman struck 84, as Bangladesh were bowled out for 346

Cricinfo staff23-Apr-2010ScorecardThe first day of the first unofficial Test between Bangladesh A and South Africa A ended with honours even. Medium-pacer Stiaan van Zyl grabbed four wickets and opener Shamsur Rahman struck 84, as Bangladesh were bowled out for 346.However, Bangladesh will rue the fact that their batsmen, barring Shamsur, did not go on to get bigger scores despite getting starts. Shahriar Nafees made 45, Nazimuddin contributed 48, Farhad Hossain chipped in with 38 and, down the order, Noor Hussain helped Bangladesh reach 346 by striking six fours and two sixes in his 49.van Zyl was supported by Johan van der Wath and Dean Elgar, who grabbed two wickets each.

Brook and Markram left frustrated as Nottingham rain wipes out decider

England and South Africa share trophy on soggy afternoon at Trent Bridge

Matt Roller14-Sep-2025England and South Africa were left frustrated by the weather as a miserable afternoon of rain in Nottingham washed out their T20I series decider at Trent Bridge. Harry Brook and Aiden Markram both posed with the trophy after an anticlimactic finale, with the series drawn 1-1 after South Africa’s win in a shortened game in Cardiff and England’s drubbing in Manchester.The captains briefly headed to the middle for a delayed toss, but the rain became heavier as soon as they walked out. It relented for a short while but returned with a vengeance, and the umpires called the game off at 4.18pm. “It’s a shame that the weather has ruined it again,” Brook said.Markram said that South Africa were particularly disappointed that they would not have the chance to put in an improved performance after their 146-run thrashing at Emirates Old Trafford on Friday night. “We had a lot of motivation today to put in a good performance and rectify a few things… but when the weather is like this, there’s not much you can do,” he said.A couple shelter from the rain at Trent Bridge•Bradley Collyer/PA Images via Getty Images

Markram’s next international assignment is a month away, with South Africa touring Pakistan for two Tests, three T20Is and three ODIs. “It should be a good tour,” he said. “[I have] two or three weeks off now, which will be welcome, and then we hit the road for a full tour. It’s going to bring its own unique set of challenges, but the boys will be up for that.”Brook also has a short break lined up before England’s winter assignments in New Zealand, Australia, Sri Lanka and India, with Jacob Bethell taking over as captain in their T20I series in Ireland next week. “I’ve got about a month now,” he said. “I’ll go on holiday, soak up the sun, and look forward to New Zealand and the Ashes.”Phil Salt was named player of the series after his unbeaten 141 in Manchester. He started the series with a first-baller in Cardiff, but led the charge for England in their record win at his home venue on Friday night.

Higgins, Roland-Jones land telling blows to keep Middlesex on top

Yorkshire in trouble after conceding 87-run lead but George Hill fifty keeps hopes alive

ECB Reporters Network20-Apr-2024Ryan Higgins struck twice in successive balls, including the scalp of Harry Brook for a golden duck, while Toby Roland-Jones also captured three wickets as Middlesex maintained the upper hand in their Vitality County Championship game against Yorkshire.Medium-pacer Higgins, who picked up four wickets in the visitors’ first innings, dismissed Finlay Bean and Brook either side of tea at Lord’s, while Roland-Jones’ three victims included Joe Root as Yorkshire slumped to 83 for 5 second time around. George Hill led the White Rose fightback in the evening session with a patient unbeaten 52 to lift them to 216 for 7 at stumps, an advantage of 129.Earlier, Jordan Thompson’s five-wicket haul and an impressive spell by Ben Coad, who took 4 for 59, had bowled Yorkshire back into the game, slicing through the middle order as Middlesex posted 246 with half-centuries for Leus du Plooy and Josh De Caires.Resuming on 23 overnight, du Plooy was up and running again as he hammered Thompson’s second delivery of the morning off the back foot for four to bring up the 50 partnership with Mark Stoneman. However, Thompson made the breakthrough in his next over, slanting the ball across Stoneman to induce an edge that was gathered low by Adam Lyth, springing to his right at second slip.Du Plooy, using his feet against the seamers to good effect, reached his half-century from 43 balls – but he soon fell victim to Coad, who sent down an impressive 10-over spell from the Nursery End. Having already pierced Higgins’ defences, Coad produced another superb delivery that jagged back at du Plooy to take out his off stump before also pinning Jack Davies leg before moving across.Those wickets sandwiched that of Stephen Eskinazi, caught in the slips off Thompson without scoring and, at 136 for 7, the first-innings lead which had looked a formality was very much in jeopardy.However, Roland-Jones led the Middlesex counter-attack by dispatching Mickey Edwards for a string of boundaries, with De Caires following his captain’s lead as the pair shared a stand of 56. Roland-Jones’ knock of 30 was ended when he offered a return catch to Thompson, but Tom Helm helped De Caires to guide the total beyond 200 and within touching distance of a batting bonus point.Having posted the second red-ball half-century of his career, De Caires succumbed at once to another snorter from Coad, swinging away to take the edge and, despite Ethan Bamber’s spirited effort with the bat, he was bowled for 11 to give Thompson figures of 5 of 80.That left Yorkshire trailing by 87 and they had reduced that by just 13 when Roland-Jones removed Lyth, for the second time in the match, and Shan Masood to bring Root to the middle with the visitors under pressure.Root took advantage of some stray leg-stump offerings from Helm to get the scoreboard moving as he and Bean added 46 – only for Higgins to strike with successive deliveries spanning different sessions. Yorkshire were still in the red when Root departed for 32, miscuing a hook off Roland-Jones and top-edging to De Caires in the slips, but Hill settled down to frustrate the home bowlers with a watchful innings.He lost Jonny Tattersall, castled misjudging a straight ball from Helm, but Thompson hit a valuable 26 and Coad struck a belligerent 38 not out to keep Yorkshire hopes intact going into day three.

Capsey and Ecclestone give England net-run-rate boosting win

Ecclestone’s 3 for 13 and Capsey’s 51 ensured England’s wobble didn’t cost them the win

Matt Roller13-Feb-2023England stumbled across the line against Ireland in Paarl, winning by four wickets with the better part of six overs remaining after Alice Capsey thrashed 51 off 22 balls.Capsey fell immediately after reaching a 21-ball half-century, the joint-fastest in Women’s T20 World Cup history, as England looked for a net run-rate boost in pursuit of 106. They stuttered after her dismissal, losing 5 for 33, but Ireland’s own collapse with the bat ensured there was never any scoring pressure on England.Ireland were aggressive with the bat after winning the toss. They reached 80 for 2 after 12 overs, with Gaby Lewis playing fluently after surviving a dropped chance off Lauren Bell in the first over. But they fell away dramatically, losing 8 for 25 in 35 balls. Sophie Ecclestone made the crucial intervention, dismissing Lewis in a double-wicket maiden which sparked a dramatic collapse.Ecclestone took a sharp, diving catch at mid-off in the following over to dismiss Louise Little and leave Ireland five down, before Sarah Glenn struck twice in her final over. Ecclestone yorked Ireland captain Laura Delany with her final ball to finish with 3 for 13, with Bell and Katherine Sciver-Brunt striking either side.Ireland needed early wickets – and got one, as Sophia Dunkley chipped to mid-on. But they bowled poorly with the new ball, with the nerves of a young team playing their first T20 World Cup fixture in four-and-a-half years.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Capsey was disdainful, swinging her way to England’s fastest fifty in this format – before lofting Arlene Kelly to long-off. Cara Murray took three wickets with her legbreaks after Danni Wyatt ran herself out to take the shine off England’s win, but they secured the two points with 34 balls to spare.

Gaby Lewis leads Ireland’s bright start

Ireland had not played in a Women’s T20 World Cup since 2018 but expectations were high after their victory against defending champions Australia in a warm-up fixture. They became higher still when they crashed four fours off the first nine balls of the innings, openers Lewis and Amy Hunter trading boundaries.Lewis, Ireland’s all-time leading run-scorer in T20Is, set the tone when she pounded the first ball she faced through backward point for four, though did benefit from some early luck. She cut her fourth ball straight to Wyatt, who shelled a straightforward chance at point.Heather Knight turned to spin in the third over on a dry, used pitch but Lewis continued to score fluently, reverse-sweeping and sweeping boundaries. Hunter holed out to deep midwicket off Charlie Dean, but Ireland raced to 42 for 1 off the six-over Powerplay.After two lengthy delays to fix a loose stump-camera cable, Orla Prendergast’s bright cameo ended when she was bowled by a ball from Glenn that kept low, but Lewis and captain Delany continued to tick over, reaching 80 for 2 at the end of the 12th over as they looked to build a platform for a late launch.

England’s spin squeeze

Ecclestone is Knight’s trump card, and she opted to play it in the 13th over, looking to break the burgeoning partnership between Lewis and Delany. It worked, as Lewis top-edged a sweep to Wyatt – who hung onto this low chance at deep backward square leg – and Ireland’s middle order was exposed.Eimear Richardson was trapped lbw, looking to paddle-sweep her first ball. Louise Little survived the hat-trick ball and lofted Dean back over her head for Ireland’s only six, but miscued her next delivery to Ecclestone at mid-off.Glenn struck twice in her next over. First, she trapped Waldron – playing her record 180th game for Ireland – lbw on the sweep and then crashed one into Leah Paul’s middle-and-off stump. Ireland had lost five wickets in 17 balls, and the game was over as a contest.

Murray sparks mini-collapse

England needed only 33 off 13 overs when Murray was introduced, and Delany must have rued holding her back so long. A wicket fell in her first over when Wyatt pushed to short cover and set off for a single that was never there, and Murray had her own first wicket with her seventh ball when Nat Sciver-Brunt holed out to long-off.Knight and Amy Jones both fell with the finish line in sight, Knight diverting a ball onto her own stumps via the glove and Jones chipping meekly into the covers. But Ireland never had quite enough runs to play with, and England’s implosion came a little too late to give Ireland any real hope.

WPL offers England sub-plots


Knight admitted before the tournament that the inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction was “on everyone’s minds”, saying: “It would be naive to think it isn’t a slight distraction.” Before Monday’s game had started, three England players – Nat Sciver-Brunt, Dunkley and Ecclestone – had secured contracts, but Knight herself went unsold in the first round of bidding.By the innings break, three more players had deals: Capsey, Bell and Knight herself, with travelling reserve Issy Wong also picked up. The rest of the squad went unsold, and Knight will need to ensure players’ franchise contracts do not become a distraction across the rest of the tournament.

Stead admits NZ are facing a 'tough and challenging' schedule

They will begin their tour of India with a three-match T20I series in Jaipur, just three days after losing the T20 WC final

Vettori: New Zealand one of the best all-round teams across formats

New Zealand are scheduled to face India in the first T20I of a three-match series, in Jaipur, just three days after losing the T20 World Cup final to Australia in Dubai. New Zealand will then kick off their World Test Championship defence with two games in Kanpur and Mumbai. Gary Stead, the coach of the team, called the schedule “tough and challenging”, but there isn’t an option.The Test players, who are not part of the T20I squad, are already in India. The New Zealand support staff will have to juggle with training the Test players in the morning and the T20I group later in the evening while in India.Related

“It’s the first time that I can remember that we’re so quickly into another series immediately at the back-end of the T20 World Cup,” Stead said. “It’s definitely tough and challenging but it is what is in front of us. We’ve got nine-ten guys in India already, who are preparing for those Test matches, and hopefully we can get up and have a really great performance against India.”Some of New Zealand’s players have had a particularly busy time, in bio-bubbles of varying elasticities in the recent past. Ten of New Zealand’s T20 World Cup squad were part of the IPL too; others like Glenn Phillips and Jimmy Neesham were part of the Hundred prior to that. Phillips had also turned out for Barbados Royals in CPL 2021. Meanwhile, the likes of Martin Guptill, Mark Chapman and Ish Sodhi have also spent extended periods in the UAE bubble after New Zealand abruptly called off the Pakistan tour in September, citing concerns around security.

Ferguson had been sidelined from the entire T20 World Cup with a calf tear, hours before New Zealand’s opener against Pakistan in Sharjah. He has since resumed bowling at the nets in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, in addition to training with Tommy Simsek, the physio.”In terms of Lockie, I think he is pretty close,” Stead said. “We will just make sure we get over there, travel okay and there’s no issues like seizing up on the flight or anything like that. But I’d expect that he’s going to be available for selection, which will be fantastic.”With all the guys that are going to prepare for the Test matches, we just have to make that call over there – whether we think it’s in the best interests of them and also in the best interests of the team being that the Test matches are more of our priority, I think, in the next month than what the T20 matches will be.”

Chris Woakes, Jos Buttler lead England home in memorable fourth-innings chase

Stand of 139 for the sixth wicket sees England claim fighting win to go 1-0 up in the series

The Report by Valkerie Baynes08-Aug-2020A fighting century stand between Chris Woakes and Jos Buttler carried England to a stunning three-wicket victory over Pakistan in a thrilling opening match of their three-Test series.Buttler’s gutsy knock of 75 from 101 balls in the face of mounting criticism over his place in the side, combined with Woakes’ new-found form with the bat, handed England an unlikely victory and broke their run of five consecutive series in which they had lost the first match.ALSO READ: Dobell: England are lucky to have WoakesUnder pressure to make runs after his Test average had dipped and a torrid time behind the stumps during this match, Buttler came in with England 106 for 4 chasing a target of 277 for victory.He and Woakes, who had a high score of 37 not out from his previous 17 innings, shared a partnership worth 139 for the sixth wicket and helped England pull off the second-highest fourth-innings run chase at Old Trafford.Fittingly, Woakes hit the winnings runs with a four through third man off Shaheen Shah Afridi to finish not out on 84 as England snatched victory by three wickets inside four days.Joe Root began the day suggesting a target below 260 would be within reach. Pakistan pushed it just beyond after Yasir Shah came out, as expected, and threw the bat.Yasir resumed on 12 with Pakistan 137 for 8 and leading by 244. He clubbed 21 from nine balls, including 11 off Jofra Archer’s first four deliveries of the day, followed by a defiant four past mid-on and a brutal six over midwicket off Stuart Broad’s first three.Broad had the final say two balls later, drawing a wild swing from Yasir to a length ball outside off and finding a thick edge which went through to Buttler behind the stumps. But Yasir’s job was done.In all, Pakistan pilfered 32 runs within the first half hour, before Naseem Shah was the last man out, bowled by Archer for 4.England managed just 22 runs from the first 11 overs of their chase but, with the best part of two days ahead of them, time was the least of their worries.Wickets were, and Mohammad Abbas took the first with the first ball of the 12th, which nipped back and struck Rory Burns on the back leg as it curled in off the seam. Burns was quick to call for a review, but his dismissal was confirmed on umpire’s call with the ball hitting the top of middle stump.There appeared to be words exchanged, with Burns turning to the Pakistan team and putting a finger to his lips as he strode from the field.Chris Woakes celebrates the moment of victory•AFP

Dom Sibley and Root pressed on to 55 for 1 by lunch but there was a period after the break where England’s scoring went quiet against Abbas and Yasir and they managed just two runs in 29 balls.Yasir, who had claimed four England wickets in their first innings, broke a 64-run partnership when he had Sibley caught by Asad Shafiq for 36, the opener furious with himself after attempting a drive and sending a thick edge straight to slip.His dismissal brought Ben Stokes – and all his promise – to the crease and England’s own “miracle worker” got off the mark with a boundary through third man off Naseem. Crucially, though, Naseem swooped quickly to remove the other set batsman, when he found Root’s outside edge, which was collected by Babar Azam at slip to send him out on 42.With England 96 for 3 and needing 181 runs more to win, the glare on Stokes intensified, even though they also had Ollie Pope, who had top-scored for the hosts in their first innings, at the crease.If any indication was needed as to just how highly prized Stokes’ wicket is, Pakistan burned an ambitious review when Naseem struck him on the pad with a ball that looked to be going down the leg side. Sure enough Hawk-Eye showed it was missing and Stokes survived.To Pakistan captain Azhar Ali’s credit, however, faced with the prospect of using up another review seven balls later, when Yasir believed he had Stokes caught behind with a googly that bounced out of the rough outside off stump, Azhar went for it. His courage was rewarded when UltraEdge showed the ball had brushed the glove on the way through to Mohammad Rizwan, who gathered the ball high at his second grab.England had lost 3 for 20 and their situation worsened three overs later. Pope could do little about his dismissal when he copped an unplayable delivery from Afridi that reared off a length and hit his top hand, ballooning to Shadab Khan running in from gully.With England 117 for 5 and hope fading fast, still 160 runs from victory, Buttler and Woakes played a stunning hand that rescued their side.With Buttler’s white-ball credentials in no question, he combined the skill to rack up the runs at a good tempo with the patience required to not throw his wicket away. Even when he did fall, attempting a reverse sweep off Yasir and struck on the boot for an lbw decison he challenged and lost, Woakes was well set and the hard work was done.Needing 21 more runs, England promoted Broad, and although he fell cheaply, lbw to Yasir with the second new ball, Woakes saw them home to end a miserable run in first Tests (aside from a one-off win over Ireland) that stretched back to the start of 2019.

Travis Head leads from the front to take South Australia lead over 200

Nick Winter took four wickets to leave the first-innings scores almost level before the South Australia captain held firm

Alex Malcolm04-Mar-2019A fighting unbeaten 72 from South Australia captain Travis Head helped the Redbacks propel their lead beyond 200 against Western Australia at the WACA.Head became the first player in the match to pass 50 and remained unbeaten at stumps alongside Daniel Worrall after Warriors paceman Matt Kelly had taken four wickets.The Redbacks started their second innings with a lead of two runs after left-arm seamer Nick Winter claimed 4 for 23 to wrap up WA’s first innings. five
Redbacks opener Jake Weatherald fell early, caught behind off Kelly for 5, before Conor McInerney and Jake Lehmann prospered with a 67-run stand.Much like the first innings, Hilton Cartwright was called into the attack to make the breakthrough, and it worked as McInerney fell caught behind within sight of 50 for the second time in the match.Lehmann was Kelly’s second scalp for 30 before Cartwright picked up another, rattling Callum Ferguson’s stumps.But Head stood firm as wickets tumbled at the other end. Kelly was on a hat-trick at one stage but the Redbacks skipper kept the scoreboard moving, reaching a fluent half-century that featured 11 boundaries.He found an ally in Worrall as the pair put on 39 in the last 12.3 overs of the day to reach stumps unscathed with a lead of 220.Earlier, Winter and Worrall took the last six wickets between them to leave the Warriors all out for 157 with a two-run first-innings deficit.Winter bowled nightwatchman Kelly early in the day before Cartwright and D’Arcy Short both fell caught in the slips driving at Worrall. Josh Philippe rode his luck for an enterprising 47. He hooked a six but was fortunate that three outside edges found the third-man boundary as South Australia opted for only two slips instead of three.Philippe and Joel Paris put on 51 for the eighth wicket and looked set to give WA a lead but Winter picked up Paris and Liam Guthrie in three balls before Philippe holed out to mid-off an over later off Worrall.
