The BCCI's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit has banned smart sunglasses or goggles with live-streaming or messaging features from the Player Match Official Area during IPL 2026. Players and support staff must hand over such devices to security before entering the zone. Breaches will trigger disciplinary action under the board's anti-corruption code.

The rule applies across all venues for the rest of the season. Security will check devices at entry points. It extends existing restrictions on electronic gadgets in restricted areas.

Scotland Women defeated Netherlands Women by nine wickets in Edinburgh to open the Women's T20I tri-series. Kirstie Gordon took three wickets to restrict the visitors to 142. Darcey Carter and Katherine Fraser then scored half-centuries in an untroubled chase.

Gordon's figures anchored the bowling effort. Carter and Fraser guided Scotland home without significant pressure from the Netherlands attack.

England all-rounder Jacob Bethell picked up a finger injury during his IPL stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but the injury won't keep him out of the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's.

He's been withdrawn from the rest of the IPL, though he's tracking toward selection for England's summer series, per BBC Sport. Once cleared, he'll slot into the middle order.

India Women defeated England Women by 38 runs in the first T20I at Chelmsford on May 28. India reached 188 for 7 in their 20 overs, while England finished well short of the target.

Steady batting and disciplined bowling from the visitors kept England on the back foot throughout. Sharp fielding — several stops and catches — supported the bowlers and choked the run rate.

Gujarat Titans meet Rajasthan Royals in IPL Qualifier 2 at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. The winner advances to the final while the loser is eliminated from title contention.

Rajasthan Royals scored 214 for six in their innings, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi making 96 off 47 balls that included eight fours and seven sixes. Gujarat Titans reached 69 for no loss after six overs, with Sai Sudharsan on 30 and Shubman Gill on 29.

Gujarat Titans lost their previous match by 92 runs to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, while Rajasthan Royals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in the Eliminator. Parthiv Patel backed his team's methods and Sai Sudharsan ahead of the knockout game.

The ICC has announced an all-female panel of 14 umpires and four match referees for the Women's T20 World Cup 2026, which begins June 12 in England and Wales. Four officials will make their T20 World Cup debut during the tournament.

The appointments continue the ICC's policy of using all-female officiating teams for women's events. The panel mixes experienced international umpires with those stepping up to the highest level, with match referees overseeing all matches alongside the on-field umpires.

Individual match assignments will be confirmed closer to the tournament start.

Former England captain Mike Smith has died at the age of 92. Smith led England in nine Tests during the 1960s and played 50 first-class matches for Gloucestershire. His death was confirmed on Thursday.

Rajasthan Royals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in the IPL Eliminator at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. Royals posted 243 for 8. Sunrisers replied with 196 all out.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made 97 off 29 balls and struck 12 sixes. Jofra Archer took 3 for 58 as Royals held on and moved into the next round.

Royals had beaten Mumbai Indians by 30 runs in their previous match.

Saurabh Netravalkar took three for 19 and Rushil Ugarkar claimed four for 48 as USA bowled Scotland out for 169 in an ICC Cricket World Cup League Two match in Nepal. USA reached the target with six wickets in hand and overs remaining to record their first win of the tour.

Netravalkar and Ugarkar dismantled Scotland's batting by shutting down partnerships early. The pairing's control in tandem—Ugarkar cutting through the middle order, Netravalkar mopping up—left Scotland without a platform to build on.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's jersey number 03 is suddenly in the same demand bracket as MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma. The 15-year-old scored 97 off 29 balls at a strike rate above 335 in Rajasthan Royals' IPL eliminator — three runs short of a century. He told broadcasters afterward he'd stayed calm under knockout pressure, and in the same innings set a new record for most sixes in an IPL season by a teenager.

The Netherlands have announced their squad for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series in Canada. Several new players get their first taste of international cricket against associate sides.

Coach Ryan ten Doeschate wants the tournament to serve as match practice and a chance to build depth. The group mixes experience with emerging talent, and the side hopes to climb the League 2 table.

Canada and one other associate team join them in the round-robin. The results feed into qualification calculations for the next global events. The Netherlands fly out later this month.

Kolkata Knight Riders signed Karnataka wicketkeeper-batter Luvnith Sisodia as replacement after Matheesha Pathirana picked up a hamstring injury during their win over Gujarat Titans. The move comes as KKR looks to stabilize after a 40-run loss to Delhi Capitals at Eden Gardens, where DC posted 203 for 5 and KKR managed just 163 for 10 in 18.4 overs.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 97 off 29 balls as Rajasthan Royals posted 243 for 8 and defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 47 runs in the IPL Eliminator at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. The teenager hit five fours and 12 sixes before falling three runs short of a century.

Dhruv Jurel contributed 50 off 21 balls while Eshan Malinga took 4 for 40. Rajasthan Royals had earlier defeated Mumbai Indians by 30 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in their previous fixture.

Sourav Ganguly stated that Sooryavanshi deserves an immediate India T20 call-up but must accumulate more first-class runs before any Test consideration. The 15-year-old later told broadcasters he remained composed under playoff pressure and identified the shot that prevented the fastest IPL hundred.

England seamer Craig Overton's IPL campaign is over. A thigh injury sustained during his stint with Chennai Super Kings has ended his run, and he's heading home for assessment by the England and Wales Cricket Board. The 32-year-old had only managed limited appearances before the injury struck.

CSK bowling coach Eric Simons acknowledged the toll injuries are taking on the side, though he's bullish about the young talent coming through. The franchise missed the playoffs in IPL 2026. Overton had arrived as an overseas replacement mid-season, a move that's now cut short.

The timing stings a bit. Overton was in form before the injury — he'd scored 111 in a County Championship match for Somerset only recently. How close he is to being available for England's next commitment remains unclear.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham won't be looking past Ireland. His side will treat the one-off Test at Stormont seriously before heading into the three-Test series in England later this month — it's the only warm-up they'll get.

Ireland batter Paul Stirling is out with a calf injury. That leaves Andrew Balbirnie calling for more first-class cricket chances for his players. For New Zealand, though, the match is exactly what they need: a chance to build rhythm before England.

Mitchell Marsh won't play in Australia's three-match ODI series against Pakistan starting May 30 after injuring his ankle in the IPL. Josh Inglis steps in as captain.

The timing couldn't be worse. Australia's already thin on bodies with several key players still grinding through the IPL playoffs, and now they're losing their regular white-ball leader before a crucial tour. Marsh's status for the Bangladesh series that follows remains up in the air.
