After much wait, the BCCI selection committee -- headed by Chetan Sharma -- has named the India T20I squad for the upcoming tour of West Indies, which commences on July 22. While the tour will kick off with three ODIs, where Shikhar Dhawan will lead a second-stringed side, regular captain Rohit Sharma will return to take charge of the side during the five T20Is.

The five T20Is will start from July 29 as the selection committee announced a strong 18-member squad, sans Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. A lot was said and written about Kohli and whether he should be skipping series despite his poor form, however, he has not been named along with premier pacer Bumrah. The duo have been rested, as per PTI, nonetheless, there is&nbsp;no such mention&nbsp;in the BCCI release and tweet.

The squad also sees the return of regular white-ball vice-captain KL Rahul, who isn't part of the England tour due to an injury. However, Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav's inclusion is subject to fitness. Veteran spinner R Ashwin has made a comeback in the T20I line-up whereas there was no mention of Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal was in-form during IPL 2022 and even returned as the Player-of-the-Match in one of the two T20Is versus Ireland. In the England T20Is, he bowled six overs and returned with four scalps, at an economy of 7. Hence, it is likely that he has also been given some rest.

While Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United continues to remain a mystery for one and all, Lionel Messi is also making heads turn on whether he would stay at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for another year or not.&nbsp;

Earlier, it was reported that the French club is keen to release both Neymar and Messi and revamp their squad around superstar Kylian Mbappe. It is now being reported that PSG is keen to offer a contract extension to Messi. The club is looking&nbsp;to extend Messi's stay by a year.&nbsp;As per a report in Marca, PSG have&nbsp;hinted to the 35-year-old superstar footballer that they are planning to offer him a fresh contract. While the offer hasn't&nbsp;officially been presented as of now, the Argentine captain has stressed that he will make a final decision regarding his stay post the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, to be held later&nbsp;this year.

For the unversed, Messi would still have about six more months in his contract by the time Qatar 2022 comes to an end. Thus, he would have the option of exploring the market before making the final call. Amid all this, there are&nbsp;reports also surfacing online that Messi's boyhood club Barcelona is eager to resign him. If there is any truth to such claims, the Argentine might go back to his former club and finish off his stellar career with the Spanish giants. His exit from Barcelona had made heads turn and it was quite an emotional moment for Messi.&nbsp;

At PSG, Messi hasn't been at his usual best. While many blame the former manager Mauricio Pochettino for not making full use of his abilities, the Argentine was also not at his consistent best and only returned with 14&nbsp;goals across 34 competitions in his maiden season -- ending with the worst-ever season in&nbsp;his professional career. Winning the Ligue 1 title with the club was the only bright spot for Messi in 2021/22 season.

PSG looking to extend Lionel Messi's stay by a year, Argentina captain to decide post Qatar 2022: Report

Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was on fire in the first ODI between India and England, at The Oval, London on Tuesday (July 12). During the three-match ODI series opener, Bumrah returned with 6 for 19 as he single-handedly wreaked havoc as Jos Buttler &amp; Co. were dismissed for a paltry 110 in 25.4 overs before India chased down the target with ten wickets in hand.

After Bumrah's heroics, he reclaimed the No. 1 spot in ICC ODI Rankings for bowlers. He had lost the top spot to New Zealand seamer Trent Boult in February 2020, however, the Indian pace spearhead is back at the top with many former cricketers hailing him to be the best bowler across formats. Former England captain-turned-commentator Nasser Hussain lavished praise on Bumrah and termed him the best all-format bowler at present times. In this regard, former Pakistan skipper Salman Butt also joined the bandwagon and responded to the recent claim.

"See, Shaheen (Afridi) hasn't played as much cricket but he is among the very best. He is no less than him (Bumrah). In fact, Shaheen, with experience, will only get better, and then he has more pace and offers a different angle. See, both are world cricket's finest and watching them bowl is an exciting experience. It's great fun to watch both Bumrah and Shaheen perform, and the way they bowl with the new ball, it feels as if a wicket can go down at anytime. You don't get this feeling watching any other bowler," Butt said on his YouTube channel.

While Butt praised Shaheen, he acknowledged that he doesn't have much experience -- like Bumrah -- at the international level. However, he was quick to point out that the left-arm seamer has created a lot of impact at the highest level since his debut in 2018.&nbsp;

At present, Bumrah has&nbsp;128 Test, 119 ODI, and 69 T20Is scalps. On the other hand, Shaheen has accounted for&nbsp;95, 62 and 47 victims in&nbsp;24 Tests, 32 ODIs and 40 T20Is, respectively.

'Shaheen is...': Ex-Pakistan skipper responds to claims of Jasprit Bumrah being best bowler across formats

Top Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu, HS Prannoy and Saina Nehwal advanced to the quarterfinals of the Singapore Open 2022 after registering hard-fought wins in their second-round matches, here on Thursday. 
 
World No 7 Sindhu came from a game down in her women`s singles match to defeat world No 59 Thuy Linh Nguyen of Vietnam 19-21, 21-19, 21-18 in one hour and six minutes. 
 
Sindhu was caught off-guard by her lower-ranked opponent in the first game and was in a spot of bother, trailing 19-17 in the second game. However, she rallied to score four consecutive points and took the match into the decider. 
 
Riding the momentum, the two-time Olympic medallist took a 9-3 lead in the third game but Thuy Linh Nguyen cut it to 11-10 heading into the break. Both players contested fiercely for the remainder of the match and eventually, it was the experienced Sindhu who progressed to the quarterfinals of the BWF Super 500 badminton tournament.

The Indian shuttler went down in the first game but overcame a four-point deficit in the second to keep his quarterfinal chances alive. Trailing 11-6 at the break in the third game, Prannoy chipped away eight of the next 11 points to level the score at 14-all.

Danielle van de Donk`s superb goal gave the Netherlands an important 3-2 win over Portugal in their Group C match at Leigh Sports Village on Wednesday, helping the defending champions move to the top of the group table. Damaris Egurrola gave the Dutch, a team hit by injury and illness, a seventh-minute lead with a fine header from a corner. Nine minutes later, Stefanie van der Gragt doubled the lead with another goal. But Portugal refused to give up and showed some remarkable resistance. Carole Costa scored a goal via the penalty in the 38th minute of the game to make it 2-1.

At half-time, Portugal was trailing by a goal in the game. Two minutes after the break, Diana Silva made things even for Portugal, heading home a fine cross from Costa. The Dutch could have got the lead thanks to Jill Roord but her effort was ruled out for offside after a VAR review. In the 62nd minute, Van De Donk netted the decider, collecting the ball on box`s edge and curling it into the far corner to make it 3-2 in favour of Netherlands.

Netherlands are currently having four points in two games, equal with Sweden. Sweden gained their first win against Switzerland by 2-1. Netherlands will play Switzerland in their final game while Portugal will face off against Sweden. Both concluding games will take place on July 17. Teenage Everton midfielder Hanna Bennison`s decider goal in the second half helped Sweden clinch their first win of the competition against Switzerland at Bramall Lane. Sweden started off the game well but had a scare in the ninth minute after their opponent was awarded a penalty due to a foul, but after looking at the pitchside monitor, the referee overturned her decision.

Fridolina Rolfo was troubling the Swiss with her gameplay. The first half was goalless. She continued playing well after the break, with her effort missing the top corner. But in the 53rd minute of the match, she netted the first goal for her side, tucking the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal. Ramona Bachmann hit with an equaliser just two minutes later, hitting a curling shot into the top corner.

Switzerland tried to make most of their chances for the next few minutes but Bennison`s strike in 79th-minute was the final goal of the game, making it 2-1 in favour of Sweden. Sweden could have added a third in the 87th minute but the goal by Rebecka Blomqvist was chalked off for offside. Nonetheless, Sweden had finished on the winning side.

ENG vs IND: When and where to watch England vs India 2nd ODI match - IST time and streaming details

Rohit Sharma-led India played England in the ODI series opener at the Kennington Oval, London on Tuesday (July 12). The visitors demolished the hapless Jos Buttler-led side and won the game by ten wickets, with less than 50 overs being bowled overall, to take a 1-0 lead in the process.

While Jasprit Bumrah (6 for 19) and skipper Rohit (58-ball 76 not out) were exceptional for the Men in Blue, Md Shami and Prasidh Krishna were also among the wickets whereas Shikhar Dhawan played a sedate knock to stitch&nbsp;an unbeaten 114-run opening stand with his captain. Speaking of Virat Kohli, whose form remains a cause of concern, the 33-year-old former skipper wasn't part of India's playing XI&nbsp;due to&nbsp;a slight niggle. Thus, the England fan club, i.e. the Barmy Army took this as a chance to troll Kohli.&nbsp;

However, Bharat Army -- Indian counterparts -- were quick to respond and trolled the Barmy Army in an epic manner. Here's the banter which caught the attention of many on the social media platform Twitter:

Opting to bowl first, on a pitch favourable for swing and seam, Rohit-led India were right on the money from the word go. Bumrah's early blows reduced England to 26 for 5 and their innings went nowhere as the home side were dismissed for a paltry 110 -- dismissed for their lowest ever score in ODIs against the Men in Blue -- in 25.2 overs with&nbsp;Jason Roy, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Liam Livingstone not opening their respective accounts.

In reply, India ended the formalities in 18.4 overs with ten wickets to spare. The second and penultimate ODI will be held on Thursday (July 14) at Lord's, London.

Rohit Sharma-led India played England in the ODI series opener at the Kennington Oval, London on Tuesday (July 12). The visitors demolished the hapless Jos Buttler-led side and won the game by ten wickets, with less than 50 overs being bowled overall, to take a 1-0 lead in the process.

The visitors demolished the hapless Jos Buttler-led side and won the game by ten wickets, with less than 50 overs being bowled overall, to take a 1-0 lead in the process. While Jasprit Bumrah (6 for 19) and skipper Rohit (58-ball 76 not out) were exceptional for the Men in Blue, Md Shami and Prasidh Krishna were also among the wickets whereas Shikhar Dhawan played a sedate knock to stitch an unbeaten 114-run opening stand with his captain. Speaking of Virat Kohli, whose form remains a cause of concern, the 33-year-old former skipper wasn't part of India's playing XI due to a slight niggle. Thus, the England fan club, i.e. the Barmy Army took this as a chance to troll Kohli. However, Bharat Army -- Indian counterparts -- were quick to respond and trolled the Barmy Army in an epic manner.

Bharat Army's epic response wins the internet after Barmy Army claims Virat Kohli was dropped for 1st ODI

India faced England in the ODI series opener at the Kennington Oval, London on Tuesday (July 12). After clinching the three T20Is, 2-1, Rohit Sharma-led India carried on with the momentum and hammered Jos Buttler &amp; Co. by ten wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the process.

Opting to bowl first, everything clicked for India as they quickly reduced England to 26 for 5 before bundling them out for a paltry 110 in 25.2 overs, with Jasprit Bumrah returning with a fine 6 for 19. In reply, openers Rohit (56-ball 76*) and Shikhar Dhawan (31 not out) remained unbeaten as their unbroken 114-run stand completed the formalities for the visitors, in 18.4 overs.&nbsp;

During the run-chase, Rohit looked in command and was in full flow from the word go. During his unbeaten knock at The Oval, one of the&nbsp;Indian captain's six hit a young spectator in the crowd, resulting in the proceedings coming to a halt briefly. Here's the video of the incident&nbsp;which left Rohit and the other players worried before medical attention was provided to the youngster:

"It seems someone in the crowd may have gotten hit by this six from Rohit Sharma. Fingers crossed… nobody is hurt," said England's Michael Atherton. Ravi Shastri then added: "Yes, looks that way.

At the post-match presentation, Rohit said, "Looking at the overhead conditions and the pitch, the toss was a right call to make. We used the conditions upfront really well. We never worry about the conditions because we have got the guys who can just come out and use those conditions. There was some swing and seam upfront and we exploited them well.

ENG vs IND, 1st ODI: Rohit Sharma's mammoth six hits young spectator, halts play briefly - WATCH

Virat Kohli remains a huge topic of discussion in world cricket with him not performing upto his usual standards at the international level. While his century-drought continues since late 2019, the 33-year-old had a rusty IPL 2022 -- ending with only 341 runs at a strike rate of 115.98 -- and has flopped so far in India's tour of England.

In the one-off Test against Ben Stokes &amp; Co., in Edgbaston, Kohli returned with scores of 11 and 20 before he only managed 1 and 11 in the last two T20Is in the recently-concluded bilateral series. Thus, his form remains a cause of concern for Team India ahead of this year's T20 World Cup -- to be held in Australia in October-November.

Many former cricketers and experts of the game have opined on Kohli's form and how he can regain his touch. In this regard, former Indian stumper Syed Kirmani joined the bandwagon and has asked the former Indian&nbsp;to return to domestic cricket.

Speaking on India Today, Kirmani said that the selectors need to make that tough call and ask Kohli to go back to the domestic circuit&nbsp;and then stage his return. "Obviously, there is so much of competition in this current era. If you are not performing in a few innings, irrespective of however experienced you might be, the selection committee takes a call and says, 'That’s it. Go back to domestic cricket, come back to form and then we will see if we can fit you back into the Indian team'. Don't see why that can't apply to Virat Kohli."

On the other hand, former India leggie Amit Mishra pointed out, "We can say that he is not in form currently but he has created such a reputation, has performed so much and won so many games that it is important to back him. As a player, he is a match-winner and has always stepped up to the occasion in difficult circumstances. Like junior, sometimes seniors also need the same support. So keep that faith and make sure he does not lose that confidence."

At present, Kohli isn't part of Rohit Sharma-led India's playing XI for the ongoing ODI series versus England, in London. The right-hander is out of action due to&nbsp;a slight niggle and is being monitored.

'Go back to domestic cricket...' - Former India stumper gives his take amid Virat Kohli's form struggles

India captain Rohit Sharma notched up a sublime fifty as the tourists thrashed England by 10 wickets after a career-best performance of 6-19 by Jasprit Bumrah in the first one-day international of the three-match series at the Oval on Tuesday. 
 
Rohit (76 not out) and fellow opener Shikhar Dhawan (31 not out) made light work of England`s 110, knocking off the victory target with 31.2 overs to spare. Earlier, England had a horror start after being put in to bat when Bumrah rattled Jason Roy`s stumps with an in-swinger and then deceived Joe Root two balls later with a delivery that nipped away. Both players failed to get off the mark. 
 
Ben Stokes also perished for a golden duck in the following over, edging behind off Mohammed Shami (3-31), before Bumrah accounted for Jonny Bairstow (7) and Liam Livingstone (0) to leave England reeling at 26-5 in overcast conditions.

1st ODI: Rohit Sharma's Team India hammer England by 10 wickets after Jasprit Bumrah heroics

Rohit Sharma-led India locked horns with England in the first ODI, at The Oval, London, on Tuesday (July 12), where the visitors demolished Jos Buttler-led England by ten wickets. Opting to bowl first, India rode on Jasprit Bumrah's 6 for 19 to dismiss England for a paltry 110 -- their second-lowest ODI score versus the Men in Blue&nbsp;-- before chasing down the score in 18.2 overs to take a 1-0 lead.

During the Indian innings, Rohit stood tall with a sublime 58-ball 76 not out, striking at 131.03. Hitman was in a punishable mode by slamming as many as five sixes. One of his maximums hit a six-year-old young girl in the crowd.&nbsp;

“It seems someone in the crowd may have gotten hit by this six from Rohit Sharma. Fingers crossed nobody is hurt,” England's Mike Atherton said on air. To this, Ravi Shastri responded by saying, "Yes, it looks that way. The way Rohit is looking towards that area, he might have got the message. It’s probably hit someone."

Virat Kohli's form remains a cause of concern for Team India heading into the 2022 T20 World Cup. Kohli has so far had an dismal run in the ongoing England tour -- with scores of 11, 20, 1 and 11 in the one-off Test and last two T20Is respectively -- following an ordinary IPL 2022 edition.

Kohli's century-drought at the international level also continues, with him last reaching the triple-figure mark in late 2019 (during the pre-Covid era). Hence, things aren't at its best for the former Indian captain as calls for his omission has now started doing the rounds. Recently, former Indian skipper Kapil Dev opined that Kohli can also be dropped if he doesn't return to his best, however, ex-India pacer Ashish Nehra has backed the star batter.

“There will be discussions even if you're not a player of Kohli's calibre. When you are playing, you try to focus on your game and not listen to so-called 'outside voices' from people outside the dressing room. It's important how your teammates, management and selectors are backing you... but we are talking about a guy like Virat. Yes, it's not written anywhere that he will keep playing for India even if he doesn't score runs. But when you have done so much in the past, you will always get extra chances," said Nehra in a virtual interaction organised by&nbsp;Sony Sports.

“Everybody knows his accomplishments and the talent he has. At the age of 33, fitness isn't a problem for him. Everybody is hopeful that Virat will come good, the quicker the better. Let's hope we see a different Virat after the West Indies series. If he rests for a month or five odd weeks, it will be helpful for him.”

On Kapil Dev's recent comments on Kohli, suggesting him to be dropped, the 2011 ODI World Cup winner Nehra said, "Yes, you get dropped when you don't perform. However, there are many ifs and buts. When you're a player like Virat who has scored runs and done so much for the country, he can't be dropped straightaway. Yes, Virat hasn't been among runs but dropping him isn't the solution. We are discussing Virat as an example. Even Rohit struggled before returning to form in the 50-over game. But he struggled in this year's IPL and other Twenty20 games. With the emergence of all formats, a player who plays across all three will get more chances to score but he can fail too."

While the noise regarding Kohli's form continues to remain high, the 33-year-old missed the ODI series opener between India and England, at The Oval, on Tuesday (July 12) owing to groin injury. He is likely to miss the second and penultimate match as well, on Thursday (July 14), as Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. eye for an unassailable 2-0 lead.

When you are playing, you try to focus on your game and not listen to so-called 'outside voices' from people outside the dressing room. It's important how your teammates, management and selectors are backing you... but we are talking about a guy like Virat. Yes, it's not written anywhere that he will keep playing for India even if he doesn't score runs. But when you have done so much in the past, you will always get extra chances," said Nehra in a virtual interaction organised by Sony Sports. “Everybody knows his accomplishments and the talent he has. At the age of 33, fitness isn't a problem for him. Everybody is hopeful that Virat will come good, the quicker the better. Let's hope we see a different Virat after the West Indies series. If he rests for a month or five odd weeks, it will be helpful for him.” ALSO READ | ENG vs IND: After missing series opener, Virat Kohli likely to skip 2nd ODI with injury concerns - Report On Kapil Dev's recent comments on Kohli, suggesting him to be dropped, the 2011 ODI World Cup winner Nehra said, "Yes, you get dropped when you don't perform. However, there are many ifs and buts. When you're a player like Virat who has scored runs and done so much for the country, he can't be dropped straightaway. Yes, Virat hasn't been among runs but dropping him isn't the solution. We are discussing Virat as an example. Even Rohit struggled before returning to form in the 50-over game. But he struggled in this year's IPL and other Twenty20 games. With the emergence of all formats, a player who plays across all three will get more chances to score but he can fail too." While the noise regarding Kohli's form continues to remain high, the 33-year-old missed the ODI series opener between India and England, at The Oval, on Tuesday (July 12) owing to groin injury. He is likely to miss the second and penultimate match as well, on Thursday (July 14), as Rohit Sharma & Co. eye for an unassailable 2-0 lead.
