With little over a month to go for the start of the Asia Cup 2025, defending champions India will be ready to conquer the crown again as they set their sights on the latest continental adventure.

Asia Cup 2025: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal in contention for India call-up - Report

New Zealand pacer Will O'Rourke has been ruled out of the second Test match against Zimbabwe as injury troubles continue to hamper the Kiwis. The second Test match, set to start on Thursday (August 7), will see the Kiwis without O'Rourke as he continues to struggle with a back injury. It is reported that O'Rourke has traveled back to New Zealand with Ben Lister staying with the squad for the rest of the tour.<h2>O'Rourke ruled out of the second Test</h2>"We are hopeful it's nothing too serious," New Zealand bowling coach Jacob Oram said. "When he's so important to our side for the next six to eight months but also next year with all the Test cricket, we've got some big tours, we need to make sure we look after the big guy and make sure that he's okay. So we have our fingers crossed for him and hopefully he'll be back in the park soon."&nbsp;O'Rourke bowled 13 wicketless overs in the first innings of the first Test and had 3 for 28 from 10 in the second before he suffered back stiffness. So far in his career, Will O'Rourke has bagged 39 wickets in Tests, 22 in ODIs and seven more in the T20Is. He has been instrumental for the Kiwis, having debuted for the national side in late 2023.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-rohit-sharma-to-virat-kohli-here-is-a-look-at-five-indian-batters-with-most-runs-in-asia-cup-odis-t20is-sachin-tendulkar-ms-dhoni-dhawan-1754123070628">From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, 5 Indian batters with most runs in Asia Cup (ODIs + T20Is)</a>&nbsp;O'Rourke also represented Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), where he played three matches and pocketed three wickets. The pacer’s injury opens the door for either Jacob Duffy or Matthew Fisher to possibly make their Test debut, with Fisher having been called into the squad just prior to the tour after impressing coach Rob Walter as a net bowler.&nbsp;New Zealand won the opening Test at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo by nine wickets and will look to complete a clean sweep with a win in the second match.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is all set to enter the race for the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) as he looks to start a new chapter in his post-playing career. Ganguly, who successfully led India in the early 2000s, has reportedly filed his nomination for the presidency and is likely to replace his brother Snehasish, who is no longer eligible to serve as the CAB president.

Ganguly would then serve as the BCCI president until he was succeeded by Roger Binny in 2023. According to an India Today report, Ganguly has filed his nomination for the apex post in Bengal cricket after his brother, Snehasish, became ineligible due to the Lodha Committee’s tenure cap.&nbsp;The final apex council meeting is scheduled for Thursday (August 14) and the AGM will take place on September 20.

From Shubman Gill’s record spree to most runs at home for a team, 5 records broken in India vs England Test series

India’s England tour had an incredible end on Monday (August 4) after the visitors won by six runs in a thrilling finish on Day 5 of The Oval Test match. Mohammed Siraj, India’s architect in the victory, scalped a decisive five-for as he continued his fluent form with the ball during the series. Applauding the pacer’s determination and ability to play all five matches, former India captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar slammed conversations relating to workload management.<h2>Gavaskar slams workload conversations</h2>"Mohammed Siraj debunked forever this business of workload. I hope that the workload word gets taken out of Indian cricket dictionary. For 5 Test matches, non-stop he has bowled 7-8 over spells, because the captain wanted him and the country expected of him," Gavaskar told India Today in the interview.&nbsp;"And that is one thing I think people keep in mind that workload is a mental thing, not a physical thing and if you are going to succumb to people who are talking about workload then you are never going to have your best players on the field for your country," he added.&nbsp;Heading into the series, the Indian team management had opted to go for a rotational system in the bowling department to rest Jasprit Bumrah. However, that criteria was not applied to Siraj as he represented India in all five matches of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

IND vs ENG: Sunil Gavaskar slams 'workload' conversation, praises Mohammed Siraj after match-winning spell

The Indian team had a sweet end to a long England tour on Monday (August 4) after they beat England by a mere six runs at The Oval. The win saw both India and England share the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, with both teams winning two matches each.&nbsp;The new-look Indian side had Shubman Gill as the skipper with no Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the side for the first time in more than a decade in the red-ball format. As India enjoyed a huge batting success, there was the curious case for ‘No.3 position’ which is well and truly up for grabs after Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan failed to make their mark.&nbsp;<h2>Karun Nair, Sai Sudharsan fail at No.3</h2>During the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Karun Nair played at the No.3 position on four occasions during the Edgbaston and Lord’s Test, scoring 111 runs. His highest score across the four innings was 40 as he clearly struggled to nail down a place in the position. He was also used as a No.5 in the Headingley and the Oval Tests, but failed to make an impression, scoring 94 runs in four further innings.&nbsp;&nbsp;Considering Ravindra Jadeja was scoring runs in tandem despite not being a full-time batter, it showed Nair’s inability to adapt against the lethal English attack. Interestingly, he had scored 204 against England Lions in a warm-up match before the series started.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the other hand, Sai Sudharsan scored slightly more runs at No.3 for India, but he also played two more innings compared to Nair. While he got a fifty at Old Trafford, he was also on the receiving end of two ducks in that position.

Ben Stokes said he was frustrated by England's failure to secure a Test series win against India but refused to blame Harry Brook for his dismissal, which sparked a dramatic collapse. The five-match series finished 2-2 after India sealed a dramatic six-run win on Monday, with paceman Mohammed Siraj taking three of the four wickets to fall on the final morning. England, chasing a daunting 374 runs to win, had been cruising at 301-3 on Sunday, with Brook and Joe Root at the crease. But they buckled under pressure and lost their last seven wickets for 66 runs.&nbsp;"It's been toe-to-toe pretty much for 25 days," said England captain Stokes, who missed the Oval game with a shoulder injury. "You know, two teams, two very good teams who have thrown everything at each other, left nothing out there.&nbsp;"From a cricket fan's point of view, 2-2 is probably fair. Obviously, we're disappointed now to have not got the result that we wanted to give us a series win."&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/oval-test-win-means-so-much-to-indian-captain-shubman-gill-as-india-england-share-honours-1754315531423">Oval Test win ‘means so much’ to captain Shubman Gill as India-England share honours</a>&nbsp;England appeared home and dry on Sunday with Brook (111) and Root (105) at the crease. But their late stumble started when Brook, who had changed the tone of the match with his aggressive batting, chipped a bizarre catch to mid-off as he launched his bat in the opposite direction. England lost further wickets late on Sunday, including that of Root, as the tension rose before bad light and rain curtailed play with the result on a knife-edge.<h3>Brook dismissal</h3>&nbsp;England returned on Monday needing just 35 runs to win the series 3-1 with four wickets in hand, but ultimately fell just short. But Stokes defended the 26-year-old Brook, who scored 481 runs in the series, including two centuries. His ton on Sunday came off just 91 balls with 12 fours and two sixes.&nbsp;"Harry got us into that position by playing a particular way, putting the Indian bowlers under immense pressure to take them away from being able to consistently bowl in the areas that they wanted to bowl," said Stokes. "I'm sure everyone was applauding him when he brought up his hundred in the way that he did. Some of the shots he played were unbelievable."&nbsp;The skipper admitted six dropped catches in India's second innings had ultimately proved costly.&nbsp;"But you can go over so many moments in a five-day Test match and all the time you spend out in the field and say, 'If this had been slightly different, we could have been in a slightly different situation'," he said. "No one means to drop catches, obviously. But I think if we look back on that, you could say that those chances that we did put down did cost us.&nbsp;"Back to Headingley (first Test), when we chased down those runs, India dropped quite a few chances off us, and that probably contributed to us winning."&nbsp;Stokes said his team were in a "strong place" ahead of a bid to regain the Ashes in Australia, with that Test series starting in November.&nbsp;"We have got some lads who are members of this team who have got some other responsibilities to fulfil with the Hundred and the one-day international series," he said.

Oval Test win ‘means so much’ to captain Shubman Gill as India-England share honours

England’s Player of the Series, Harry Brook, praised Indian seamer <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ind-vs-eng-siraj-avenges-lords-heartbreak-to-help-india-clinch-thriller-at-oval-watch-winning-moment-1754311309557">Mohammed Siraj, who triggered a late English collapse during the Oval Test run chase to help his team grab a narrow and essential win</a> and level the five-match series 2-2. Siraj picked up five wickets in the second innings, including three early on the final day to deny England a series win in the fifth Test in London. While they only needed 35 runs with four wickets remaining, the hosts failed to tackle Siraj’s unplayable deliveries, surrendering by just six runs remaining. His teammate, KL Rahul, however, called this among Team India’s best Test wins ever.&nbsp;Brook, meanwhile, played a fantastic knock of 111 off 98 balls in the fourth innings, alongside veteran Joe Root, who slammed his 39th Test hundred, punishing India on day four. The pair hit Indian quicks to all parts of the ground, cutting down on the deficit with each scoring shot. Although they brought England to a comfortable position during the chase, losing three wickets late on the fourth day allowed India to gain momentum. &nbsp;However, the final day at the Oval had everyone in the game, with England needing just 35 runs to cross the winning line. Speaking to the media after the six-run loss, Brook said England was confident about hunting the target, but it was Siraj who denied them a victory. &nbsp;“I thought we’ll easily take it home in the morning, but the way Siraj bowled, he deserved the success today. I thought the pitch would be flatter after the roller. But it zipped around under the cloud. But Siraj has had a phenomenal series and a finish,” Brook said. &nbsp;Injured Chris Woakes also walked out to bat with his dislocated shoulder heavily taped, but even that failed to prevent the inevitable. &nbsp;“Woakes would always go out no matter what. Unfortunate we didn’t get over the line,” Brook continued.<h3>Rahul rates Oval win among top ones</h3>KL Rahul is Team India’s batting mainstay, and having played crucial knocks throughout this series, he knows and understands the value of this win at the Oval, which saw India level the five-match series.&nbsp; &nbsp;Speaking to Sky Sports broadcaster Dinesh Karthik, Rahul said, “Win means absolutely everything. I’ve played cricket for years. Won Champions Trophy, seen the team lift the World Cup — of course, nothing compares to winning the World Cup.” &nbsp;“But there were so many questions about whether Test cricket stays or not, but both (teams) answered that question here with the way we’ve played. India weren’t given a chance, but we’ve fought in every game, and to get 2-2, might be a draw, but for Indian Test cricket, this will rank right at the top. This is where change begins. Indian Test team will win a lot of things and more series,” said Rahul, who scored 532 runs in the series at an average of 53.20.

Speaking to the media after the six-run loss, Brook said England was confident about hunting the target, but it was Siraj who denied them a victory.

England’s Player of the Series, Harry Brook, praised Indian seamer Mohammed Siraj, who triggered a late English collapse during the Oval Test run chase to help his team grab a narrow and essential win and level the five-match series 2-2. Siraj picked up five wickets in the second innings, including three early on the final day to deny England a series win in the fifth Test in London. While they only needed 35 runs with four wickets remaining, the hosts failed to tackle Siraj’s unplayable deliveries, surrendering by just six runs remaining. His teammate, KL Rahul, however, called this among Team India’s best Test wins ever. Brook, meanwhile, played a fantastic knock of 111 off 98 balls in the fourth innings, alongside veteran Joe Root, who slammed his 39th Test hundred, punishing India on day four. The pair hit Indian quicks to all parts of the ground, cutting down on the deficit with each scoring shot. Although they brought England to a comfortable position during the chase, losing three wickets late on the fourth day allowed India to gain momentum.

Mohammed Siraj picked 23 wickets in this Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the most among all bowlers and the joint-most for an Indian on an away England tour.&nbsp;

The best thing about time is that it changes! Just weeks after Mohammed Siraj suffered perhaps his toughest heartbreak during the third Test at Lord’s, he won his team a famous Test in the same city but at a different venue, helping them level the five-match series 2-2. At the Lord’s, he failed to help his team cross the winning line with the bat in hand; however, at the just concluded Oval Test, he took it upon himself to win the game for his team with the ball. He picked up nine wickets, finishing with 23 in five matches – the most for any bowler this time, including three on the final to seal a thriller for the visiting Indian side.&nbsp;England needed 35 runs on day five to win the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with four wickets remaining. Although they were ahead in the run chase for most of day four, with Harry Brook and Joe Root punishing them with respective Test hundreds, England lost momentum late in the day after losing three quick wickets before bad light and rain halted proceedings.

"I cannot describe my feelings," Siraj said after being named the Player of the Match.&nbsp; &nbsp;"After yesterday's incident (cost India six runs), I thought the match was gone. Had we got Harry Brook out before lunch, things would have been different. There would have been no fifth day. That was a game-changing moment. But we came back strongly after that. &nbsp;"When I woke up this morning, I told myself I would change the game. I opened Google, downloaded a 'believe' image and put that as my phone wallpaper,” Siraj said after helping India script a famous win at the Oval.

<h2>India win Oval thriller</h2>Needing four wickets to win on the final day, it was a do-or-die situation for Shubman Gill and Co as Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna gave their best shot. Their persistence was rewarded in the second over of the day as Jamie Smith (2) was dismissed by Siraj after Dhruv Jurel caught him. Just two overs later, Jamie Overton (9) joined Smith after he was given LBW by umpire Kumar Dharmasena in a decision that looked controversial. However, DRS favoured India as Overton was given out by the third umpire.&nbsp;&nbsp;The luck did not shine for India next time as Josh Togue’s LBW wicket was overturned by the third umpire after he was judged out by umpire Ahsan Raza in the 81st over. However, that resilience was broken in the 83rd over when Tongue was dismissed by Krishna on a duck, paving the way for unlikely batter Chris Woakes to enter the pitch despite being injured.&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite having Woakes come out to bat, England could not prevent the defeat as Gus Atkinson was dismissed for 17 to cap off a sensational game of cricket.

The India team need to win the Oval Test to level the series 2-2 (one drawn) against England. And the chances of such an outcome seems to be a little in favour of India when they come out to bowl against England on day 5 of the fifth Test match. However, with only 35 runs needed and 4 wickets remaining it can also go England's way.&nbsp;Two factors, though, seem to tilt the game marginally in favour of India. First, the overcast conditions that could help the Indian pacers by offering swing and second, Chris Woakes, England's number ten is injured and the probability of him batting remains bleak. Even if he does bat, how helpful he will be to his team is questionable.&nbsp;&nbsp;If India can take wickets in the early phase of Day 5, the hosts will be left with no option but to send injured Woakes out to bat.&nbsp;With just 35 more runs needed for England to win the match and India needing four wickets, it should not take more than 90 minutes, if not less, to wrap the series decider. Having said that, rain is not expected to hinder until the afternoon, meaning we could have clear weather for the opening couple of hours. This will also mean the result of the match is expected to be out in the opening hours.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-ind-vs-eng-day-5-weather-report-will-rain-be-the-x-factor-at-the-oval-as-india-england-set-for-thriller-1754276842485">IND vs ENG, Day 5 Weather Report: Will rain be the 'X-factor' at The Oval as India-England set for thriller?</a>&nbsp;Also, the fact that England is leading the series 2-1 and would want to close the series with a win and not allow an away team to level the test series would be playing on the mind of the English players.&nbsp;What works in England's favour For England it is their home ground and they certainly know the conditions well.
