India have locked horns with Tom Latham-led New Zealand in the third and final Test at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Friday (Nov 1). Winning the toss, NZ opted to bat first and have made two changes coming into the series finale, having an unassailable 2-0 lead. India&nbsp;are without Jasprit Bumrah for the final Test. At the coin toss, Indian captain Rohit Sharma explained the reason for no Bumrah in the playing XI.

At the toss, Rohit said, "Unfortunately, Bumrah is not well (viral illness), Siraj comes in for him."

Bumrah, thus, ended the series with three scalps in two games.

Siraj, on the other hand, has a huge task to fill in for the senior pacer. The former struggled&nbsp;in the series opener&nbsp;in Bengaluru, and, thus, he will have to be at his best given there is no Bumrah.

Rohit further said after losing the toss, "We understand and accept that we haven't played well through the series. Gives us another opportunity to try and correct those things. Looks like a good pitch. Hopefully we can restrict them as quickly as possible and then focus with the bat. Our focus is on this Test match. We want to try and play well in this Test match. In the back of your mind, you need to look at what lies ahead (WTC final), but it's important to stay in present, focus on what we need to to today and worry about all those things later."&nbsp;

Ind vs NZ, 3rd Test: Why is Jasprit Bumrah not part of India's playing XI? Find out

A man has been arrested after England Test captain Ben Stokes' home was burgled while he was on tour in Pakistan, police said Friday.

Stokes said his wife and two children were at home in County Durham, in northeast England, during the break-in by "masked" burglars on the evening of October 17, when valuables were taken.

Durham Police said a 32-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of burglary. He has since been bailed.

Stokes was in Pakistan for a Test series when the incident occurred.

He said items stolen included a medal he received after he was recognised in the 2020 New Year Honours list, for helping England win the World Cup the year before.

Man arrested after England captain Ben Stokes' home raided by masked gang

It was an impressive Day 1 at the office for India’s Ravindra Jadeja as he bagged yet another five-wicket haul in the ongoing third Test match against New Zealand in Mumbai. Playing on Friday (Nov 1) on Day 1, Jadeja ended with figures of 65/5 helping India bowl out New Zealand for 235 in their first innings. According to Jadeja getting a five-fer in Test match cricket is always special.

<h2>Jadeja reflects on impressive Day 1</h2>

“Taking a fifer for India in Tests, it's always special. Felt good that I helped my team in getting breakthroughs. It wasn't easy bowl in the heat, Washington bowled well and everyone played their roles. As a batting unit, we need a collective effort. (On overtaking Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma) I didn't know that,” Jadeja said in the post-day while speaking to the broadcasters.

Having opted to bat first after winning the toss, New Zealand lost Devon Conway (4) in the fourth over of the opening session as Akash Deep scalped him. After a steady start, Skipper Tom Latham (28) and Rachin Ravindra (5) departed in quick succession as the visitors were 72/3. Will Young (71) and Daryl Mitchell (82) then stitched an 87-run stand for the fourth wicket before the former was caught by Rohit Sharma on Jadeja’s bowling.

<h2>Jadeja on fire</h2>

Jadeja would then start his dominance with the ball as he added Ish Sodhi (7), Matt Henry (0), Glenn Phillips (17) and Tom Blundell (0) to his list of wickets to complete another five-for. Washington Sundar on the other hand was also on song as he bagged figures of 81/4.

New Zealand lost their last seven wickets for 76 runs as they collapsed with the bat before getting bowled out for 235 in the final session of the day.

India ended the day on 86/4, with skipper Rohit Sharma yet again disappointing as he scored 18 in the first innings of the Mumbai Test. Yashasvi Jaiswal (30), Virat Kohli (4) and night watchman Mohammed Siraj (0) also failed to make any impression as the batting unit once again collapsed. Ajaz Patel grabbed two wickets while Virat was runout in the final stretch of Day 1. India still trail by 149 runs and will have a huge task in hand to avoid a huge series defeat before the Australia tour.

IND vs NZ, 3rd Test: Indian batters disappoint after Jadeja-Washington headline Day 1 with ball

Evin Lewis smashed a scintillating 94 as West Indies routed England by eight wickets in a rain-hit one-day international on Thursday. Lewis blasted an undefeated century to defeat Sri Lanka in Pallekele on Saturday and carried on where he left off against a new-look England in the first of a three-game series.

After dismissing England for just 209, the West Indies raced to 81-0 in 15 overs when rain brought a lengthy delay at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Set an adjusted target of 157 from 35 overs, the 32-year-old Lewis hit England's attack to all parts of the ground, making his runs off just 69 balls.

His innings included five fours and eight huge sixes after dominating an opening stand of 118 with Brandon King (30).

Lewis's hopes of completing a sixth ODI century were thwarted however when he was caught by Jacob Bethell off Adil Rashid with just 13 runs needed for victory.

In the end, Keacy Carty (19) and skipper Shai Hope (six) saw the West Indies comfortably home with 55 balls to spare.

Rashid's one wicket cost him 50 runs from seven overs.

Victory for the West Indies came just five days after they defeated Sri Lanka with 10 of the team which featured in that victory 15,000km away named in Thursday's line-up. Put in to bat, England, who featured four new ODI caps in Jordan Cox, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton and John Turner, were bowled out for 209 in the 46th over.

Captain Liam Livingstone led the way with 48 from 49 balls, hitting three fours and two sixes. Livingstone, standing in as skipper for the injured Jos Buttler, was supported by Sam Curran whose 37 occupied 56 balls.

For the West Indies, left-arm off-spinner Gudakesh Motie took 4-41 from his 10 overs with Jayden Seales the pick of the fast bowlers with 2-22 from eight overs. Both his victims were the openers Phil Salt (18) and Will Jacks (19).

The second game of the three-match series will be staged at the same venue on Saturday with the final clash set for Barbados next Wednesday. The two sides will also contest a five-game Twenty20 International series.

Evin Lewis' blitz leads West Indies to big victory over England in first ODI

West Indies will host England in the second and penultimate ODI on Saturday (Nov 2). After a good win in the series opener, on Thursday (Oct 31), the Shai Hope-led side will be determined to get past Jos Buttler-less England and seal the series in the upcoming encounter. England, on the other hand, do not have a lot of time to revamp and will be under pressure to level the series.

Talking about the first ODI, everything clicked for the home side. Opting to bowl first, WI pacers struck early before the spinners jolted England's progress and bundled them out for 209 in 45.1 overs.&nbsp;Gudakesh Motie ended with 4 for 41 whereas others also chipped in. For England, stand-in captain Liam Livingstone top-scored with a fine 48 but the inexperienced batting lineup fell flat.

In reply, Evin Lewis led the charge as he smashed the English bowlers to all parts of the ground before a long rain-delay reduced the game to 35 overs, with the revised target being 157. Nonetheless, the writing was on the wall and Lewis (94) took his side to a win in 25.5 overs.

England, on the other hand, do not have a lot of time to revamp and will be under pressure to level the series. Talking about the first ODI, everything clicked for the home side. Opting to bowl first, WI pacers struck early before the spinners jolted England's progress and bundled them out for 209 in 45.1 overs. Gudakesh Motie ended with 4 for 41 whereas others also chipped in. For England, stand-in captain Liam Livingstone top-scored with a fine 48 but the inexperienced batting lineup fell flat. In reply, Evin Lewis led the charge as he smashed the English bowlers to all parts of the ground before a long rain-delay reduced the game to 35 overs, with the revised target being 157. Nonetheless, the writing was on the wall and Lewis (94) took his side to a win in 25.5 overs. Will England stand a chance in the second and penultimate encounter? Only time will tell...

On Thursday (Oct 31), all ten IPL franchises released their list of retained players. For Mumbai Indians (MI), the five-time winners retained Jasprit Bumrah, captain Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma. After the retained players list was out, Rohit acknowledged being the fourth retention choice as he feels he is a retired player from T20Is and preference&nbsp;should be given to the top active Indian players.

In an interview with Jio Cinema, Rohit shared his perspective on the retention lineup and said, "Since I have retired from the [T20] format, I think this is the perfect [retention] spot for me,” Sharma explained. “The players who are representing the national team at the highest level should get the preference. That’s what I believe in, and I am quite happy with it."

List of players retained by Mumbai Indians: 
1. Jasprit Bumrah – INR 180 million (INR 18 crore) 
2. Hardik Pandya – INR&nbsp;163.5 million (INR 16.35 crore) 
3.&nbsp;Suryakumar Yadav – INR 163.5 million (INR 16.35 crore) 
4. Rohit Sharma – INR&nbsp;163&nbsp;million (INR 16.30&nbsp;crore) 
5. Tilak Varma – INR 80 million (INR 8 crore)

MI have struggled in the 2021-24 IPL cycle, finishing at the bottom twice. Thus, Rohit acknowledged the recent challenges and added, "We haven’t had the best of seasons in the last two or three years, but we are quite determined to change that."

I have retired: Rohit Sharma acknowledges being MI's fourth retention ahead of IPL 2025 auction

Curtains were finally lifted on the Indian Premier League (IPL) retentions as all 10 franchises made their first move for the next season. One of the big names in the conversation was Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend who will don the IPL hat in its 18th season in 2025. While the retention is a big bonus for fans, the franchise could pay a big prize for a player who turned 43 in July. So will the CSK move to retain a player of Dhoni’s caliber pay off?

<h2>Background</h2>

At 43, it is unlikely that Dhoni will play for CSK for the next three years and could have paved the way for another uncapped retention had he decided to retire. However, his retention under the uncapped player rule means the franchise will lose only ₹40 million ($480,000) from their spending purse. After IPL 2024, Tushar Deshpande and young Rajvardhan Hangargekar could have been at the top of the list for CSK had the uncapped rule not changed.

But the new rule meant that MS Dhoni who had not played international cricket for five years was eligible as an uncapped player while Tushar’s two international caps during the Zimbabwe tour made him eligible. This left CSK franchise to decide on either Hangargekar or Dhoni to get retained. Part of the Indian U-19 World Cup winning squad in 2022, Hangargekar was paid a whopping ₹15 million ($180,000) at the auctions. However, since his move, he has been a squad player and not of more commercial value.

<h2>Why does MS Dhoni's retention at CSK make sense?</h2>

With Hangargekar also out of sight, CSK’s only option technically was MS Dhoni and they bought him for cheap. While he won’t be a great contributor on the field, his presence in the team is of great commercial value to the side and the Indian Premier League. Even at 43, Dhoni’s commercial value attracts a huge fan base and TRP for television.

In IPL 2024, fans were seen splashing a big sum on travel, tickets and merchandise to get a glimpse of Dhoni. On the other hand, Jio, a digital streaming partner of IPL had a special ‘star-cam’ for Dhoni during his IPL matches which solely focused on him. This contributed to the TRP and digital ratings of the channel.

While figures can’t be confirmed, Dhoni’s presence generates a big sum (likely to be 20 times his current value) for both CSK and IPL and other sponsors, making his move a commercial success rather than an on-field success. &nbsp;

IPL 2025: CSK land MS Dhoni as 'uncapped' player, but does the move make any sense?

After a chaotic last few days, the lid on player retention was finally lifted on Diwali as all 10 franchises announced their lists with a bang. The retention announced on Thursday (Oct 31) had some surprises, but the majority of the big-name players expected to be retained had their wish fulfilled and won’t enter mega auctions set to take place in the next few weeks. That set of players included the Mumbai Indians’ ‘fab-five’ of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya. Interestingly, despite rumours, both Rohit and Hardik have been retained, with the latter continuing to serve as skipper.

<h2>Mumbai retain fab-five</h2>

In an announcement made on Thursday, Mumbai retained big-name players like Rohit, Hardik, Tilak, Suryakumar and Bumrah for the IPL 2025 and will have one Right to Match (RTM) card in hand for the mega auctions. Interestingly, excluding Tilak, the rest of the players have led the Indian cricket team which highlights the experience of the side.

<h2>Value of the retained players</h2>

Jasprit Bumrah (₹180mn, $2.14mn)

Suryakumar Yadav (₹163.5mn, $1.94mn)

Hardik Pandya (₹163.5mn, $1.94mn)

Rohit Sharma (₹163mn, $1.94mn)

Tilak Varma (₹80mn, $950,000)

<h2>Hardik Pandya to lead Mumbai</h2>

Despite rumours and a wealth of captaincy material, Mumbai Indians have retained faith in Hardik Pandya to skipper the side. There were rumours of him not getting retained while Suryakumar Yadav could be on his way to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) if he does not get the captaincy. However, this won’t be the case as Sky and Rohit will both remain at the base of Mumbai Indians in Wankhede Stadium. On the other hand, Bumrah is the prize asset of the side with a whopping retention value of $2.14 million.

<h2>Who did Mumbai release?</h2>

With Tilak Varma getting the nod of retention, Ishan Kishan was the biggest name from the franchise that will enter the auctions. However, history suggests that won’t be the end of the road with MI for Ishan. In IPL 2022 mega auctions, while Ishan was released, the franchise paid a big sum to reacquire his services. With RTM in hand as well, Ishan could yet return to Mumbai and don their colours for IPL 2025.

IPL Retention Deadline Day: MI retain senior pros Bumrah, Rohit; Hardik to lead

Keshav Maharaj's five-wicket haul sealed South Africa's thrashing of Bangladesh by an innings and 273 runs inside three days of the second Test, giving the tourists a 2-0 series sweep Thursday.

Bangladesh were all out for 143 in Chattogram after being put straight back in to bat by the Proteas, a single session after ending their first innings on 159.&nbsp;

Left-arm spinner Maharaj took 5-59, after fast bowler Kagiso Rabada posted 5-37 from just nine overs in the first innings.&nbsp;

It was South Africa's biggest Test win, surpassing their innings and 254-run victory over Bangladesh at home in 2017.&nbsp;

After ending the first innings behind by 416 runs, the onus was on home team veterans Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to save face -- but all fell cheaply.&nbsp;

Mushfiqur, who failed to score in the first innings, returned to the pavilion having made two.

He tried to sweep Senuran Muthusamy but missed the ball, which hit his pad at the leg-stump line.

Maharaj claimed Mehidy for six while Muthusamy sent back Najmul, leaving the hosts on a despairing 78-7.&nbsp;

Bangladesh fought on through the last session with Hasan Mahmud the last man left on 38 off 30 balls, including four sixes.&nbsp;

Maharaj sealed the match taking the last wicket of Nahid Rana for a duck. It was his 10th five-wicket haul.

Muthusamy finished the second innings with 4-45.

He struck in his first over of the innings when his tossed-up delivery to Mahmudul Hasan Joy kissed the bat and landed in the palms of Aiden Markram at slip.&nbsp;

Maharaj first struck when he sent back Mominul Haque, who scored 82 in the first innings, for a duck.&nbsp;

At the start of the day the hosts were reduced to 48-8, conceding four wickets to add 10 runs to their overnight total, before a mini-fightback by Mominul.

Rabada struck twice in one over as Mehidy Hasan Miraz was caught behind and debutant Mahidul Islam Ankon offered no shot to a ball nipping back and was trapped lbw for a duck.&nbsp;

The burst gave Rabada his second five-wicket haul of the series, to go with his 6-46 in the first Test victory in Mirpur.&nbsp;

South Africa had three batsmen hit maiden Test centuries in their first-innings 575-6 -- De Zorzi (177), Tristan Stubbs (106) and Wiaan Mulder (105 not out).&nbsp;

The tourists won the first Test by seven wickets.

Bangladesh have never won a Test against South Africa in 16 attempts.&nbsp;

South Africa sweep Bangladesh with crushing innings victory in Chittagong to pocket series 2-0

Hosts South Africa have announced their squad for the T20I series against India, with Aiden Markram leading the side. Cricket South Africa,&nbsp;on Thursday (Oct 31), announced a 16-man squad led by Markram, with star Kagiso Rabada rested. The series not part of the ICC’s calendar will start on November 8, with the Indian side led by Suryakumar Yadav and assisted by VVS Laxman set to stamp their authority in another overseas series.

<h2>South Africa announce squad</h2>

Having lost the T20 World Cup final to India in June, South Africa will seek revenge as they take on Suryakumar Yadav’s side. Lutho Sipamla, Tristan Stubbs have yet again earned the faith of the board, with the former being available for only the last two matches. On the other hand, senior members like Heinrich Klaasen, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj and David Miller continue to be part of the side.

The hosts have been good in the shortest format of the game, but India might be an opponent they will avoid taking lightly. Rabada has been rested for the series as&nbsp;South Africa have important assignments to come in the next two months. Considering they are still in the running for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, Rabada’s workload management will be a crucial part of the process.

“It’s both an exciting and important series for us as we continue to build towards the T20 World Cup in 2026.”

“The squad has a nice mix of youth and experience, and I am looking forward to seeing us deliver some quality performances against a very attacking Indian T20 outfit.”

IND vs NZ, 3rd Test match Live Streaming: When, where & how to watch India vs New Zealand Live on laptop

Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rishabh Pant have decided to part ways as the association finally comes to an end since 2016. As Thursday (Oct 31) is the retention deadline day, DC and Pant have separated with the star batter set to enter the IPL 2025 mega auction, to be held later in the year. Meanwhile, DC have retained four players: Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav and Abhishek Porel.&nbsp;

As per a report in ESPNCricinfo, it is learnt that talks between DC's ownership group and Pant failed despite stretching over months and, hence, the star India keeper-batter has been released. However,&nbsp;it is understood that the 2020 runners-up will still&nbsp;attempt to buy back Pant via the Right To Match (RTM) card in the auction proceedings. The franchise will have two RTM cards available at the auction table.

With three capped and one uncapped retentions, DC's purse will be depleted by at least INR 470 million (INR 47 crore),&nbsp;they will have INR 730 million (INR 73 crore) to rebuild their squad at the IPL 2025 auction.

Pant joined the DC franchise in 2016 and soon became a regular in the line-up. He became&nbsp;DC's permanent captain in IPL 2022 and remained at the helm till the 2024 season (he missed the IPL 2023 edition due to a car crash). Under him, DC had a mixed run, ending at the middle of the table. However, he led the team to the playoffs in IPL 2021, where he led the whole season after then captain Shreyas Iyer's injury.

For DC, they have retained Axar (INR 180 million or 18 crore), Kuldeep (INR 111 million or 11 crore), Stubbs (INR 111 million or 11 crore) and uncapped player Porel (INR 40 million or 4 crore). If they are not able to reacquire Pant at the auction, they will have to pick&nbsp;a new captain.

IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals, Rishabh Pant part ways as star batter to enter auction, 4 players retained

After the&nbsp;white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, West Indies host England in a three-match ODI series with the opening game on Thursday (Oct 31). England have been a frequent visitor to the Caribbean island and this time around, they are set to play three ODIs and five T20Is. While it gives them an opportunity to rebuild their white-ball sides and prepare for the 2025 Champions Trophy, Shai Hope-led West Indies will expect to make a statement as well and continue to find the right tempo to batting in this format.

With Jos Buttler being sidelined at the last moment, due to unsatisfactory progress in rehabilitation due to a calf injury, Liam Livingstone is set to lead the side in the three ODIs. The English squad is without Harry Brook and Jamie Smith, who have been rested, whereas all-rounder Sam Curran makes a comeback&nbsp;(after being dropped for the home Australia ODIs). The visitors have&nbsp;three fresh faces in the form of&nbsp;Rehan Ahmed, Michael-Kyle Pepper and Jafer Chohan. Chohan and Ahmed will be tested to see if they can succeed Adil Rashid going forward.

In the batting front,&nbsp;Michael-Kyle Pepper, Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell,&nbsp;Dan Mousley, etc. ensure a lot of batting depth, however, the onus will be on experienced campaigners such as Livingstone, Phil Salt, Curran.

For WI,&nbsp;Sherfane Rutherford has adapted and will form the core of hosts' batting line-up along with captain Hope. However, others will need to stand tall as well. Their bowling is well-oiled and experienced with the presence of Jason Holder,&nbsp;Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, Hayden Walsh, Jayden Seales, etc.

Both teams will be desperate to get a 1-0 lead in the first ODI.

WI vs ENG, 1st ODI Live Streaming: When and where to watch West Indies vs England series opener

Gary Kirsten stepped down as the white-ball coach of Pakistan on Monday (Oct 28). Just six months into his job, the former South African opener shocked one and all by resigning from his post. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief&nbsp;Mohsin Naqvi has now made some shocking claims that Kirsten breached his contract. Naqvi also revealed that Pakistan will have a new white-ball coach before their upcoming tour of Zimbabwe.

Naqvi told the media in a recent interaction, "He (Kirsten) broke his contract with the PCB and made some breaches. He ended the contract with us. We will have a new white ball head coach by the end of this month because Jason Gillespie has only agreed to manage the team in Australia for the white ball matches on an interim basis. He is more focused on his role as red ball head coach. The team will have a new white ball coach for the Zimbabwe tour."

The PCB, however, didn't give details behind Kirsten's sudden resignation. However, according to a PTI report, it is believed that it all happened because Kirsten wasn't involved when the PCB announced the squads for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe and Australia and&nbsp;the new limited-overs captain (a role taken over by Mohammad Rizwan).

Further, the sources&nbsp;claimed that Kirsten had breached some clauses of his contract by not spending enough time in Pakistan and also insisted on having a full foreign coaching support staff. Thus, this wasn't well received by the PCB.

Recently, MS Dhoni was asked about his lingering retirement from the cash-rich T20 league and had said that he'd like to 'enjoy last few years.'

“I just want to enjoy whatever last few years of cricket I can play,” the 43-year-old had said at a promotional event, as quoted by Times of India.

“When you play cricket like a professional sport, it becomes difficult to enjoy it just like a game. That’s what I want to do. It’s not easy. The emotions keep coming, the commitments are there. I want to enjoy the game for the next few years,” he continued.

Former Australia skipper Tim Paine has said it was Cheteshwar Pujara and not Rishabh Pant who won India the Test series last time in Australia. The comments come during the build up of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Test series which starts November 22 in Perth, Australia.&nbsp;

"What I do remember, a lot of people talk about Rishabh Pant in the last series in Australia, but the guy who won them the series was Pujara. He wore us down, he wore our fast bowlers down. He kept getting hit on the body, but he kept getting up. There is still place for that in Test cricket," said Paine while talking on the Grade Cricketer's Podcast.

Pant was one of India's best performers on the series and had scored the series winning 89 not out in Gabba, Brisbane in addition to his match-saving 97 in Sydney.

Pujara, on the other hand, played a lot of balls and took a lot of body blows to help a second-string India batting unit which had no Virat Kohli.

It is to be noted that Australia have lost the last four Test series against India, including two at home and two away. India last lost a Test series against Australia in 2014.

India's tour of Australia begins on November 22&nbsp;in Perth before the day-night second Test in Adelaide from December 6-10. The third Test will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane from December&nbsp;14-18&nbsp; before the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26-30.

Not Rishabh Pant! Former Aussie skipper Tim Paine says THIS batter helped India win on last tour

Former West Indies skipper Jason Holder has thanked the England cricket team for help in the survival of cricket in the Caribbean. This comes as England get ready for an eight-game white-ball tour in&nbsp;the West Indies comprising three ODIs and five T20Is.&nbsp;

It is to be noted that England have travelled each year to the West Indies since 2022 after West Indies helped the European cricket powerhouse during the peak of COVID-19 in 2020 by playing a Test series behind closed doors. Holder had led West Indies in the series and called for reciprocation in future.

"I think it's a fair way of putting it," Holder said to cricket news website ESPNcricinfo when asked if England have returned the favour.&nbsp;

"We've obviously had the English coming over for the last three years consecutively. And that has definitely boosted, not only our economy within the Caribbean, but it adds a massive boost to our survival in international cricket.

"We rely heavily on series between England and India, our revenues tend to come from those two teams. It's our biggest series within any calendar year, and, yeah, it's one that really brings the fans down to the Caribbean and creates a really fun atmosphere.

"So, it's great to have them and to see the fans packing the stadiums as well. There's always a good banter between the West Indian public and English public. So we're thankful that we've been able to have them so many times in as many years. And long may it continue," added the former West Indies skipper.

West Indies have been pretty dominant at home against England, winning five-T20I series 3-2 both in 2022 and 2023 as well as an ODI series in December last year too.

The upcoming tour kicks off on October 31 with the ODI series before the T20Is take place from November 10.

The 2024 edition of the program, a high-octane national talent search to discover the next generation of India’s fast bowlers, is here. The competition, jointly run by Red Bull and Rajasthan Royals, offers young aspiring bowlers the chance to prove their skills, compete regionally and nationally, and train with elite coaches and Rajasthan Royals’ stars.

The program was conceived with the aim of giving wings to amateur pacers with a stage where they could showcase their raw talent. The first edition was held in 2020 with qualifiers taking place in multiple cities, and the top fast bowlers from across the country competing in a national final.

Red Bull Speedster 2024 powered by Rajasthan Royals will take place across nine cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Jaipur, offering participants a shot at training at the Rajasthan Royals High Performance Center and access to expert coaching along with the chance to become a net bowler with the Royals under the purview of their Bowling Coach Shane Bond.

Bond, who has been serving as the Bowling Coach of the Royals in the IPL, and former Head Coach of Paarl Royals in South Africa, expressed his delight at the prospect: "Over the years, I've seen firsthand how raw talent, when given the right guidance and exposure, can transform into something special.

Australian Cricket team head coach Andrew McDonald has bagged a four-year extension on his current deal as confirmed by Cricket Australia (CA) on Wednesday (Oct 30). McDonald, having helped the Aussies win the World Test Championship (WTC) and the ODI World Cup in 2023 will stay at the helm until the next edition of the ODI World Cup. The deal also means he will remain in charge of the side during Australia’s next India tour for the Border-Gavaksar series.

<h2>McDonald's extends deal with Cricket Australia</h2>

"I am very fortunate to have an exceptional group of leaders, players, coaches and staff who are fully invested in the ongoing well-being, success and development of this group," McDonald said.

"The professionalism, commitment and experience of my fellow coaches and the wider staff have ensured the journey has been extremely successful but just as importantly created a culture of unity, trust and inclusivity," he further said.

Having taken charge of the side after Justin Langer’s unfortunate exit from the role in 2022, McDonald has been a popular figure in the Australian camp. He has been instrumental in driving the team’s approach in all three formats where Australia have stamped their authority. His biggest achievement was to lead Australia to the ODI World Cup in India in 2023 despite the team losing the opening two matches of the league stage.

Injured Kane Williamson is set to miss the third and final Test match against India in Mumbai as confirmed by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on Tuesday (Oct 29). Williamson, likely to travel to India for the final Test will now stay in his homeland and prepare for the England series during the summer. New Zealand currently lead the three-match Test series 2-0 and still retain a narrow chance of entering their second World Test Championship (WTC) final.

<h2>Williamson to miss Mumbai Test</h2>

"Kane continues to show good signs, but isn't quite ready to jump on a plane and join us," Gary Stead said in a release adding,&nbsp;"While things are looking promising, we think the best course of action is for him to stay in New Zealand and focus on the final part of his rehabilitation so he'll be good to go for England."

"The England series is still a month away so taking the cautious approach now will ensure he is ready for the first Test in Christchurch," he further said.

Williamson was initially ruled out of the Bengaluru Test match and was&nbsp;later confirmed unavailable for the Pune Test too. While he is still not at match fitness the former Kiwi skipper was expected to be in Mumbai for the final Test. However, he will now stay in his homeland and prepare for the three-match Test series against England.

The BlackCaps have a golden opportunity to whitewash India in their own backyard as they search for a historic win. With the WTC final qualification still a possibility New Zealand will look to win the Mumbai Test in the absence of Williamson.

<h2>WTC scenario</h2>

Tom Latham’s side still has four Test matches to play in the current cycle of the WTC, however, they will need to win each of those contests. In case New Zealand win their four Test matches, they will have one foot in the final of the WTC which will be played in June 2025 at Lord’s. The equation will also be influenced by the Australia-India Test series starting on November 22 in Perth.
