England white-ball captain Harry Brook has opened up on his suspension from the Indian Premier League (IPL). Currently, he is representing the national side in the ongoing Test series against India. Speaking on his IPL suspension, Brook revealed why he left the Delhi Capitals camp despite being purchased for a whopping amount of ₹6.25 crore in the 2025 mega auction. This led to his suspension from the IPL for the next two years.&nbsp;&nbsp;On opting out of the IPL, Brook stated: “It was an incredibly difficult decision. The IPL is an amazing tournament. It’s tough cricket, with the best players in the world. The crowds and atmosphere are amazing. It is the best franchise tournament in the world. I would love to play the IPL in the future, but for the time being, the focus is on England duties,” Brook said in a media interaction organized by Sony Sports Network.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/who-has-hit-a-six-on-the-very-first-ball-in-test-cricket-the-answer-will-surprise-you-1751208761844">Who has hit a six on the very first ball in Test cricket? The answer will surprise you</a>&nbsp;Harry Brook said he chose to skip the tournament so he could concentrate on playing for the England national team.&nbsp;&nbsp;Still, Brook has no regrets. He used that time to play in matches against Zimbabwe and the West Indies, where he made some important contributions with the bat for the team.&nbsp;Currently, Brook is part of the Test series against India. In the first Test, he scored a vital 99 runs, which helped the team to cover the lead as it was a high scoring game and played a big role in England’s victory. Ahead of the second Test, Brook said that spin bowling could become more important later in the match.&nbsp;"Historically, the Edgbaston pitch can be flatter. There is probably more in it for spinners. Otherwise, it is generally a typical English pitch. If there is any spin - and I’m completely guessing here - it will probably be late on days three, four and five,” Brook added.&nbsp;

India's young cricket star Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered a remarkable batting performance on Wednesday (July 2) when he took guards against England U19 in Northampton. The teenager smashed a quickfire 86 runs from just 31 deliveries as India beat England by four wickets in the third ODI match. &nbsp;<h2>Suryavanshi sets new record</h2>Suryavanshi's innings included six fours and nine huge sixes, at a strike rate of over 277. With this, he set a new record for the most sixes in a single innings by an Indian U19 player. He also came close to breaking Rishabh Pant’s record by hitting a fifty in just 20 balls during the third U19 ODI against England. &nbsp; The record for the fastest U19 ODI fifty by an Indian still belongs to Rishabh Pant, who hit it in 18 balls against Nepal in 2016. Suryavanshi now has the second-fastest U19 ODI fifty for India.&nbsp; &nbsp; The world record for the fastest U19 fifty is currently held by South Africa’s Steve Stolk, who smashed a fifty in just 13 balls against Scotland earlier in 2025.&nbsp;Also Check - From Virat Kohli to Smriti Mandhana: 6 Indian players to hit a century in all three formats<h2>IND U19 vs ENG U19 Match summary&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;After winning the toss, the India U19 captain chose to bowl first.

In cricket some stories stand out and one such story is Rahul Dravid’s short but memorable time playing for Scotland in 2003. While many cricketers play for fame or money, only a few players like Dravid take part in matches to support a good cause or promote smaller teams. Known worldwide as 'The Wall' for his solid defence and calm approach, Dravid's decision to play for Scotland added an interesting twist to his successful career. It’s rare to see Indian players represent other countries because of their contracts. Apart from restrictions, Dravid still made a 12-match journey with the Scottish team and showed how cricket can bring people together beyond borders.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-s-t20i-skipper-suryakumar-yadav-undergoes-sports-hernia-surgery-check-details-inside-1750922803707">Suryakumar Yadav drops MAJOR life update, says ‘can’t wait to be back’</a>&nbsp;A group of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living in Scotland helped make this possible.

England fast bowler Brydon Carse shared that he once thought about having a toe amputated to deal with a painful injury that kept him out of action for several months. Carse is seen as one of England’s rising stars in fast bowling, having taken 27 wickets in just five Test matches. The 29-year-old developed deep, infected wounds on the second toe of his left foot. This happened because of the repeated force on his left foot during bowling. The injury first became serious during England’s white-ball tour of India earlier this year. It caused him to miss the Champions Trophy and kept him out of cricket for three months.&nbsp;"At one stage I was going to bed thinking, 'I think I could actually do this - I think I could get rid of my second toe,' but then the medical staff said you need it for balance, so that was quickly ruled out," Carse told the BBC.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="Once a promising star, Prithvi Shaw wants to cut ties with Mumbai Cricket Association">Once a promising star, Prithvi Shaw wants to cut ties with Mumbai Cricket Association</a>&nbsp;To cope up with the issue, Carse tried different methods - He wore tighter boots, used special insoles, and even cut a hole in his shoe to take pressure off the toe. At one point, doctors even discussed plastic surgery after he returned early from the Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan. But in the end, rest turned out to be the best cure.&nbsp;&nbsp;“For a period of about six to eight weeks, I was on three or four different courses of antibiotics. Eventually the wound was that deep that it ultimately needed a period of time just to heal up and close up.” he added. &nbsp;Carse came back to first-class cricket in late May and played all three ODIs against the West Indies, helping England to win the series 3-0.&nbsp;He's currently playing against India in first Test in Headlingley and took one wicket of KL Rahul in the first innings. &nbsp;

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly made a shocking revelation on Sunday (June 22) after he recounted a famous incident from his playing days. One of the legendary players, Ganguly shared the dressing room with some of the greats of the game including Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman. However, drawing back Ganguly shared an interesting story that made headlines in the Indian dressing room in 2003 when Laxman did not speak to him for three months. So what was the incident and what caused the friction between Ganguly and Laxman?<h2>Ganguly recalls infamous VVS Laxman moment</h2>"It has happened many times when we rested players. They were unhappy. Laxman being left out of the World Cup...he never spoke to me for three months. Then I made up with him. Anybody would get upset...for a World Cup. Especially a player of Laxman's calibre. Quite natural that he would get upset," Ganguly told PTI while recalling the moment when Laxman was dropped in 2003 World Cup squad.&nbsp;Laxman who played 86 ODIs and scored over 2,338 runs at an average of 30.8, was dropped for the 2003 ODI World Cup by the Indian selectors in favour of Dinesh Mongia. Kiran More, who was part of the selection panel during the 2003 World Cup also opened up on the selection call while in conversation with former Pakistan player Rashid Latif.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Before the 2003 ODI World Cup selection meeting, we had a huge argument when the Indian team was playing in New Zealand. As per the inputs received from the captain and the coach, we selected a 14-member squad and asked them what they thought of it. Over the conference call, Ganguly had a different opinion. We had selected VVS Laxman as our middle-order batter. Ganguly was very smart. He was a brilliant captain, a person with a great cricketing brain. He said ‘we need an all-rounder,” More had told on former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif’s YouTube channel.&nbsp;Also Check - From Shubman Gill to Rishabh Pant: 5 Indian batters with most centuries in WTC history&nbsp;Ganguly recently spoke about how sad Laxman was when he was dropped from the squad.

So what was the incident and what caused the friction between Ganguly and Laxman? Ganguly recalls infamous VVS Laxman moment "It has happened many times when we rested players. They were unhappy. Laxman being left out of the World Cup...he never spoke to me for three months. Then I made up with him. Anybody would get upset...for a World Cup. Especially a player of Laxman's calibre. Quite natural that he would get upset," Ganguly told PTI while recalling the moment when Laxman was dropped in 2003 World Cup squad. Laxman who played 86 ODIs and scored over 2,338 runs at an average of 30.8, was dropped for the 2003 ODI World Cup by the Indian selectors in favour of Dinesh Mongia. Kiran More, who was part of the selection panel during the 2003 World Cup also opened up on the selection call while in conversation with former Pakistan player Rashid Latif. “Before the 2003 ODI World Cup selection meeting, we had a huge argument when the Indian team was playing in New Zealand. As per the inputs received from the captain and the coach, we selected a 14-member squad and asked them what they thought of it. Over the conference call, Ganguly had a different opinion. We had selected VVS Laxman as our middle-order batter. Ganguly was very smart. He was a brilliant captain, a person with a great cricketing brain. He said ‘we need an all-rounder,” More had told on former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif’s YouTube channel.
