Waugh's statement comes after Australia announced the 15-man squad for the first Ashes Test against England which starts November 21 in Perth. Waugh's comments were in context of aging Australian side with only one of 15 players being under the age of 30. Waugh himself had retired at the age of 35 in 2004 in what what the last big transition of the Australian Test team.<h2>Waugh questions Bailey</h2>"George Bailey's going to have to make some tough calls," Waugh said on Tuesday (Nov 4) at the Ashes while receiving the Ashes trophy . "I think in the past he's shown he hasn't really had the appetite for that at times, so he's going to have to step up to the plate with the other selectors.

Despite strong performances in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, senior players Mohammed Shami and Karun Nair have not been picked for India’s Test series against South Africa. The selectors have instead chosen to back younger players as part of their long-term plan for the team’s future. &nbsp;The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced the 15-member squad, and many fans were surprised by the exclusion of Shami and Nair. Both players have shown good form and experience in the domestic circuit recently. Mohammed Shami, one of India’s most successful fast bowlers in recent years, has made a strong return to domestic cricket after recovering from injury. Playing for Bengal, Shami took seven wickets against Uttarakhand and followed it up with an eight-wicket haul against Gujarat. Even though he went wicketless in his next match against Tripura, his rhythm and control looked sharp. Interestingly, his best performances came at Eden Gardens, the venue for the first Test against South Africa.&nbsp;Also read | ‘<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/forever-etched-in-my-skin-harmanpreet-kaur-marks-world-cup-triumph-with-emotional-tattoo-1762330352337">Forever etched in my skin’: Harmanpreet Kaur marks World Cup triumph with '52' tattoo</a>&nbsp;Speaking after the match against Gujarat, Shami said his focus is always on staying fit and ready for the national team. The 34-year-old pacer said it had been challenging to come back from injury, but he still believes he has more to offer for India. Karun Nair’s case is also disappointing for many fans. The right-handed batter, who once scored a triple century in Tests, has been in fine touch this Ranji season. He scored 233 against Kerala, an unbeaten 174 against Goa and a solid 83 against Saurashtra. Despite these strong performances, Nair has been overlooked as selectors chose to give chances to younger batsmen. Instead of relying on experience, the selectors have picked players like Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikkal, and Sai Sudharsan for the upcoming series. The two-match Test series between India and South Africa begins on Friday (Nov 14) with the inaugural Test to be played at the iconic Eden Gardens.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has refuted all the allegations of physical abuse by veteran pacer Jahanara Alam against women's team skipper Nigar Sultana. Jahanara accused Sultana of slapping junior players in an interview with a local new paper. The board has strongly rejected all the charges made by the veteran pacer and threw complete support behind the skipper and the management. The statement comes after recently-concluded Women's World Cup 2025 where Bangladesh finished second to last with one win and five losses in seven games while one ended in no result.<h2>What did Alam said about Sultana?</h2>Alam is one of the most prolific Bangladesh players, having played 52 WODIs and 83 WT20Is, taking 48 and 60 wickets, respectively. In her interview about Sultana's behaviour with newspaper Kaler Kantho, Alam said: "This is nothing new. Joty beats up the juniors a lot.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has refuted all the allegations of physical abuse by veteran pacer Jahanara Alam against women's team skipper Nigar Sultana. Jahanara accused Sultana of slapping junior players in an interview with a local new paper. The board has strongly rejected all the charges made by the veteran pacer and threw complete support behind the skipper and the management. The statement comes after recently-concluded Women's World Cup 2025 where Bangladesh finished second to last with one win and five losses in seven games while one ended in no result. What did Alam said about Sultana? Alam is one of the most prolific Bangladesh players, having played 52 WODIs and 83 WT20Is, taking 48 and 60 wickets, respectively. In her interview about Sultana's behaviour with newspaper Kaler Kantho, Alam said: "This is nothing new. Joty beats up the juniors a lot. Even during this World Cup, the juniors told me, ‘No, I won’t do this again. Then I’ll have to get slapped again.’ I heard from some people, ‘I got beaten up yesterday.’ Even during the Dubai tour, she called a junior into the room and slapped her."

A brilliant bowling performance secured the West Indies an unlikely seven-run victory in the first T20 against New Zealand on Wednesday, despite a stunning solo effort from Mitchell Santner. The West Indies, who landed in New Zealand only two days ago, struggled on the Eden Park drop-in wicket that offered some seam and turn to the home bowlers, making 164-6 from their 20 overs.

The UEFA Champions League had yet another extraordinary evening on Tuesday (Nov 4) as the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and others enjoyed their time to get valuable wins in Europe’s biggest club competition. However, it was a night when Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven set the stage on fire as he arguably scored one of the goals of the season. The quality of the goal is already calling for a Puskas Award (given for the best goal of a season), highlighting the finish.

In a BCCI video shared after the final, Harmanpreet also recalled how her journey began with a childhood dream. She remembered playing with her father’s “big” cricket bat and how he later carved a smaller one just for her. “Whenever I watched India play, I used to think — I want a chance like this. I didn’t even know about women’s cricket then,” she said.&nbsp;After the celebrations in Mumbai, the Indian team arrived in Delhi for a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will felicitate the players for their achievement.

Days after guiding India to their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup title, Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has found a special way to celebrate the historic win. The star Indian batter got a meaningful tattoo to mark India’s unforgettable triumph in the 2025 Women’s World Cup final against South Africa in Navi Mumbai on Sunday (Nov 2) The tattoo features the World Cup trophy, the number 52, representing India’s margin of victory in the final, and the year 2025, symbolising the most memorable moment of her career. It’s not just another tatoo, but an emotional reminder of the years of hard work, sacrifice and determination that led her and the team to glory. Sharing pictures of the tattoo on social media, Harmanpreet wrote, “Forever etched in my skin. Waited for you since Day 1, and now I’ll see you every morning and be grateful.” The message quickly went viral, with fans and teammates showering her with love and admiration.

‘Forever etched in my skin’: Harmanpreet Kaur marks World Cup triumph with '52' tattoo

Arshdeep Singh is India's highest wicket-taker in T20Is but was made to sit out of the first two T20Is in the ongoing series against Australia. The decision drew a lot ire from fans and former cricketers alike. The left-arm pacer was then included in the third T20I of the series. Arshdeep not only justified his selection with 3/35 but won the Player of the Match award as well in India's series-levelling win. India's bowling coach Morne Morkel, however, has shed some light on the team's decision to sit out Arshdeep.<h2>Morkel on Arshdeep sitting out of playing XI</h2>“It is not easy,” Morkel conceded about Arshdeep. “There will always be disappointment in terms of players and selection, but that is something at times that, as a player, is uncontrollable.”Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/who-is-zimbabwe-sean-williams-world-s-second-longest-serving-active-cricketer-enters-rehab-for-drug-addiction-1762319472405">Zimbabwe's Sean Williams enters rehab for drug addiction, loses contract</a>“For us, from our side, we just keep on asking them to work hard and try hard and be ready for when they do get the opportunity.

So it is a bit of playing those sorts of games and then still having the mindset to win the game of cricket,” he added.<h2>Arshdeep's performance for India in T20Is</h2>Arshdeep has been a standout performer for India in T20Is ever since making his debut in 2022 on the back of his performance in IPL. Arshdeep has since played 66 T20Is for India and has taken 104 wickets - the only Indian bowler to take 100+ wickets in the format. In the IPL, Arshdeep has played 82 matches and has taken 97 wickets - fourth most for a left-arm pacer behind Trent Boult (143), Ashish Nehra (106) and Zaheer Khan (102).
