Raza hails home World Cup as blessing; Netflix wins Spain rights for 2030 tournament.
Zimbabwe all-rounder Sikandar Raza described the prospect of hosting an ODI World Cup before his retirement as a blessing. He said Zimbabwe's performances will improve across formats if the World Test Championship expands to 12 teams from the next cycle.
Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alyssa Mooney will play her 100th ODI in the final match of the series against Bangladesh. She cited World Cup revenge and an Olympics dream as key motivators.
Netflix secured exclusive broadcast rights for the 2030 men's World Cup in Spain. The deal guarantees selected matches, including all Spain games, on free-to-air television.

Raza's optimism rests on a structural change that has not yet been confirmed. If the WTC does expand, Zimbabwe's fixture list improves, but results will still depend on domestic investment and player retention.
