Bangladesh defeated Australia by 86 runs under the DLS method in the first ODI in Mirpur on Tuesday — their first win over the visitors since 2005.

Mosaddek Hossain's unbeaten 86 off 70 balls anchored Bangladesh to 284 for 8. Nahid Rana then took 4 for 41, keeping Australia's chase in check as rain forced the DLS calculation.

Australia fielded a weakened squad and never found their rhythm. The loss breaks a 21-year run against Bangladesh and raises questions about the squad's depth in subcontinental conditions.

Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 101 off 114 balls to help India A recover from 16 for 2 and post 277 for 6 against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Prabhsimran Singh fell early, but Gaikwad steadied it with Tilak Varma, who chipped in 60 in a crucial middle-order partnership.

India A won by 8 runs in a tight finish. It's the kind of anchor innings that wins tournaments — not flashy, just there when it mattered.

Mohammed Siraj's out of India's upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England. The BCCI rested him on workload management grounds — with a packed white-ball calendar ahead, they're protecting their strike bowler from burnout.

Siraj's omission comes after the India-Afghanistan Test series, where he showed visible frustration dealing with Afghanistan's defensive tactics. The move aligns with BCCI guidance on recovery for key bowlers.

Prasidh Krishna, who plays for Gujarat Titans in the IPL, steps in as his replacement. He'll feature in the tours to Ireland and England starting later this month.

Arjun Tendulkar took 3 for 11 and smashed an unbeaten 66 off 34 balls as Arcs Andheri cruised to a nine-wicket win in the T20 Mumbai League. Captain Shivam Dube's side barely broke a sweat chasing the target.

The all-round show — quick wickets followed by a clean batting display — is exactly the profile Mumbai Indians have been tracking in their emerging fast-bowling all-rounders. Tendulkar's still developing in domestic cricket, but performances like this suggest he's tracking the right way.

West Indies have rested fast bowler Alzarri Joseph from the home T20I series against Sri Lanka. It's a workload call ahead of the two-match Test series against the same opposition. Shamar Joseph will get the nod in the T20Is instead.

The series lands before the Women's T20 World Cup Group B stage, where West Indies and Sri Lanka sit among the underdogs facing stronger sides.

Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has been elected president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board at 37—the youngest person ever to hold the role. He takes over after the previous board was removed amid governance concerns.

Tamim's mandate is to stabilise the board and rebuild trust after months of administrative chaos. He's spoken before about the need for transparent decision-making, and now he's got the job to prove it. No changes to selection or coaching staff have been announced yet.

The BCCI named Sairaj Bahutule its spin bowling coach for the men's senior team on Saturday. Bahutule, who played 7 Tests and 7 ODIs for India between 1997 and 2001, spent the last two decades working with domestic and age-group sides — including stints as a spin consultant across state teams.

His brief is to build the spin resources in the senior setup as India prepares for a busy international calendar. The move marks a clear shift toward a specialist approach in the bowling department, though no other changes to the coaching staff have been announced.

The ICC will trial pink balls in Test matches to reduce time lost to bad light — a recurring headache in recent day-night fixtures. Pink balls offer better contrast under floodlights than red ones, and officials are testing how they perform across different conditions before rolling them out wider.

Implementation details are still under discussion. The ICC hasn't named which match will host the first trial yet. But results from the experiment are expected to shape future scheduling decisions.

The MCC acknowledged the Lord's pitch for the England versus New Zealand Test didn't measure up. Inconsistent bounce plagued the surface throughout — a low-scoring match that lasted just three days, with conditions that frustrated both teams and captains alike.

Ben Stokes called it extreme and unhelpful for Test cricket's future. The MCC expressed frustration with the variable bounce and pledged to tighten pitch preparation for upcoming home Tests, using what they learned here to do better next time.

Jasprit Bumrah's back in India's T20I squad for the men's event at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan. He was rested from the upcoming tours to Ireland and England, but the multi-nation tournament gets his availability.

It's a familiar pattern with Bumrah — India picks and chooses his fixtures depending on what matters most on the calendar.

Pakistan won the series 2-1 with a four-wicket victory in Lahore, where Australia posted their lowest total in the country. Josh Inglis fought hard for the visitors but couldn't stem the tide. Pakistan chased on a turning wicket and lost six wickets in the process — the pitch did its work, but they got there.

It's a statement result. Three matches on home soil against full-strength opposition, and Pakistan owned the conditions enough to win the series.

Virat Kohli's hamstring injury from the IPL 2026 final has ruled him out of India's ODI series against Afghanistan, which starts June 13. The BCCI medical team ordered a minimum two-week rest immediately after the final, leaving him unavailable for all three matches.

Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya's fitness remains up in the air. Ryan ten Doeschate, India's assistant coach, confirmed Kohli's status and squad details at a press conference on Thursday.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is in line to open in Kohli's place. The Afghanistan series doubles as a warmup for the T20 World Cup later this year.

Dilara Akter hit 51 off 26 balls to carry Bangladesh Women past Netherlands Women by 13 runs in a rain-affected eight-over match. Bangladesh finished at 98 for three; Netherlands couldn't chase it down, stopped at 85 for five.

It's a rare bright spot for Bangladesh in this tri-series. Scotland had already beaten them, and Netherlands had won their first meeting by eight runs. The turnaround here came down to Akter's aggression at the top — she found the boundary whenever the pitch allowed it.

The ICC has suspended Cricket Canada's membership following serious breaches of its obligations and allegations of gang-linked corruption that raised concerns about influence over the associate board. Canadian teams will continue to compete in ICC events and receive funding during the suspension period.

The board approved the measure at its recent meeting. It's a significant setback for cricket development in Canada, but the suspension stops short of the kind of outright expulsion that would lock the country out of international competition entirely.

Shaun Tait has stepped down as Bangladesh's pace bowling coach for family reasons. The BCB confirmed the Australian's exit ahead of the home series against Australia.

Tait was brought in to strengthen the team's fast bowling depth — a persistent weakness. His resignation leaves the coaching staff without a specialist in an area Bangladesh has long struggled to fix, and it comes at an awkward moment: the Australians arrive soon for what should be preparation time.

Nathan Ellis claimed career-best ODI figures of 4-33 to help Australia defend 232 and beat Pakistan by 41 runs in the second ODI. Australia bowled Pakistan out for 190 in Lahore to level the series at 1-1. Josh Inglis and Cameron Green made key contributions with the bat on a tricky surface.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill felt the sting after his team fell five wickets short in the IPL 2026 final at Narendra Modi Stadium. "We came so close," he said — and the hurt was real, even if reaching the decider itself felt like an achievement.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased 155 in 18 overs after Gujarat posted 155 for eight. Gill managed just 10 off eight balls in the final. It wasn't enough.

The loss caps a season already fractured by Gill's mid-season injury and a captaincy shift to Rashid Khan midway through — disruptions that make the final appearance itself a small miracle. RCB, meanwhile, kept rolling from last year's title win.

Alice Capsey and Heather Knight put on a century stand as England chased down India's total at Taunton to wrap up the third T20I and the series 2-1. They got home with overs to spare.

Bangladesh picked up their first win in the women's tri-series in Scotland. Nigar Sultana made a half-century and Ritu Moni took career-best figures of 4 for 12 to beat the hosts and end their run of defeats.

The Hundred will hand out a combined men's and women's trophy from 2026. It will go to the franchise whose two teams finish with the best combined record, part of a wider investment and format overhaul.

Shoaib Bashir is back in England's squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's. He missed the Ashes and now takes the spinner's role.

England named a 12-man group that also brings in uncapped opener Emilio Gay and seamer Sonny Baker. Rehan Ahmed, James Rew and Matthew Fisher drop out.

Hasan Mahmud joins Kent for the County Championship after recovering from injury.
