South Australia coach Ryan Harris and the squad have set their sights on another clean sweep of domestic titles. The team wants both the Sheffield Shield and One-Day Cup this season.

Harris stressed the need for consistency across formats. The domestic schedule opens with the Shield in the coming weeks.

The Redbacks finished strongly last year and head into the new campaign with the same target in place.

England struck early and sharp. New Zealand's top order crumbled to the pace attack, and by lunch on the opening day the visitors were in real trouble.

Then Tom Blundell and Glenn Phillips took over. They didn't rush. Instead, they picked off singles, rotated strike, and let England's bowlers tire. The partnership steadied the ship—not flashy, but exactly what New Zealand needed after losing quick wickets in the morning session.

It's the kind of innings that keeps a Test match alive. England will have chances to pull this back when play resumes, but Blundell and Phillips have given their side something to build on.

Australia chased down Bangladesh's total in Chattogram to win by four wickets and take a 1-0 series lead. The spinners did the heavy lifting—they kept Bangladesh honest in the middle overs and then made the chase manageable. Captain Alex Carey flagged Nahid Rana as a genuine threat after the match, even though Bangladesh couldn't convert early pressure into runs.

Bangladesh had chances to push harder against Australia's spin attack but didn't capitalize. The visitors controlled the middle overs and got home. Rana's pace came off quickly, but it wasn't enough to upset the script.

The second T20I is at the same venue. Both teams will tinker with their approaches for what's left.

Sri Lanka fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana has undergone surgery in France to repair his left hamstring. He's out for the West Indies tour, which Sri Lanka lost 2-1 after Shamar Joseph took five wickets in the series decider at Kingston.

Pathirana plays for KKR in the IPL 2026 season. How long his recovery takes will decide whether he's fit for Sri Lanka's next bilateral series.

India A have added fast bowler Ashok Sharma to their squad for the ongoing tri-series in Sri Lanka. Sharma replaces Yudhvir Singh, who's dealing with shoulder discomfort and hasn't played yet.

Sharma caught the selectors' eye during the IPL with Gujarat Titans, where his pace stood out. He's expected to join the squad immediately and add depth to the seam attack for the remaining matches.

India A and Sri Lanka A tied in regulation at Dambulla, with Sri Lanka A winning the Super Over that followed. Pitch-running penalties and umpiring calls made in fading light shaped the contest.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Vishen Halambage clashed after the result — the exchange turned physical. Former Sri Lanka captain Anura Tennekoon later told Sooryavanshi to tune out the noise and let his cricket do the talking.

The incidents have drawn scrutiny from officials overseeing the tri-series.

India beat Pakistan by 64 runs in their Group 1 opener at Edgbaston. Smriti Mandhana made 68 after two drops, and Deepti Sharma took 5 for 10 to skittle Pakistan for 106. Richa Ghosh added 34 off 17.

Scotland claimed their first win at a Women's T20 World Cup, beating Ireland by 40 runs at Old Trafford. Bangladesh chased down the Netherlands' total for their first points of the tournament.

Kirstie Gordon, who switched allegiance from England in December, is back at a T20 World Cup — this time in Scotland colours.

Shamar Joseph took a career-best 5 for 33 to restrict Sri Lanka to 169 in the third T20I. Sherfane Rutherford remained unbeaten on 54 as West Indies chased the target for a five-wicket win at Sabina Park. The result gave West Indies the series 2-1.

The first two matches had left the series level at 1-1. Sri Lanka posted 194 for 6 in the second T20I after a century stand between Kamil Mishara and Dasun Shanaka. West Indies were then bowled out for 157.

West Indies now hold a 2-1 advantage in the T20I series. No further matches have been scheduled in this leg.

England seamer Ollie Robinson has been ruled out of the second Test against New Zealand at The Oval due to right knee soreness. It's another blow to England's bowling stocks—Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson are already unavailable.

Robinson had returned strongly in the first Test at Lord's, taking 7 for 77. He'll be assessed over the coming days for a possible return in the third Test.

England must now work out their bowling attack for The Oval with the second Test starting later this week.

James Coles scored a career-best 224 not out for Sussex against Glamorgan in the County Championship. Lewis Gregory took four wickets to put Somerset on top against Nottinghamshire. Essex enforced the follow-on after taking control against Leicestershire. Hasan Mahmud claimed six wickets to help Kent beat Lancashire.

England seamer Ollie Robinson has been ruled out of the second Test against New Zealand due to right knee soreness. Henry Crocombe has been called up as cover for the match at The Oval. The announcement came ahead of the fixture.

Robinson experienced the soreness during training. Scans were arranged as a precaution. Crocombe, an uncapped Sussex seamer, joins the squad as injury cover.

The second Test is scheduled to begin at The Oval. England will confirm the final XI closer to the start.

World Cricketers' Association president Lisa Sthalekar says the Bangladesh Premier League won't attract overseas talent unless it fixes two things: payment delays and the quality of the competition itself. She made the call after a global T20 league assessment ranked the BPL dead last.

The assessment flagged exactly what Sthalekar's pushing on — players aren't getting paid on time, and the league doesn't stack up against other T20 franchises around the world. Higher standards would change that calculus for foreign cricketers considering where to play.

Bangladesh is trying to strengthen its domestic T20 circuit, but the BCB and the newly formed Cricket Welfare Association of Bangladesh haven't publicly responded yet. More meetings are expected in the coming weeks.

Bangladesh all-rounder Fahima Khatun admitted she misses the spotlight ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup. Speaking to Cricbuzz, she reflected on stepping back from international cricket for a period, then clawing her way back in.

She's hit 100 T20Is for her country. She's been through multiple World Cups. But what's shifted now is her role — less about her own performances, more about steadying younger players in the squad who are still finding their feet in the shorter format.

"Of course I miss the spotlight in a personal way," she told Cricbuzz. "But this team needs experience right now, and I can give that in different ways."

Cooper Connolly scored 149 in the third ODI against Bangladesh at Mirpur on Saturday. Australia chased down the target to win by one wicket — a narrow escape that couldn't salvage the series, which Bangladesh had already taken 2-1 with their first ODI series victory over Australia.

It was Connolly's maiden ODI century, and it came when it mattered least and most at once. Adam Zampa finished the job in the final over, steering Australia home in a chase that kept coming down to single runs.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz framed the win differently. "The biggest achievement," he said, "is hearing Australia praise Bangladesh's cricket, conditions and players." For a side tasting its first series victory over the Australians, that validation — respect extracted at home, not handed out — felt like the real milestone.

Kane Williamson retired from international cricket midway through the England series, but he was clear: it wasn't about him. After nearly 16 years, he's stepping aside to let New Zealand plan around younger players for what comes next.

The announcement came after New Zealand's first Test defeat to England. Will Young's been called up to replace him.

Williamson had already walked away from limited-overs cricket earlier in his career. This timing gives New Zealand a clean break to rebuild the Test squad for the rest of the series and beyond.

West Indies chased down New Zealand's total with seven wickets to spare, ending the defending champions' unbeaten run in the tournament. Shemaine Campbelle stayed till the end with an unbeaten 90, anchoring the chase as the match went to the final over.

Campbelle built the innings methodically while wickets fell around her. New Zealand had posted a competitive total, but couldn't close it out — a sign their middle order and death bowling, which carried them through the last edition, aren't as settled this time around.

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana provided an update on her knee after a training incident ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup opener against India. She confirmed she is fit and ready for the high-stakes encounter, per India Today.

The scare occurred during a training session before the match. Sana shared the update directly and remains available for selection despite the incident, according to ICC reports.

The match is the tournament opener for both teams. No further details on the nature of the injury or her expected role were released.

The BCCI has demanded an investigation after Bangladesh spinner Nayeem Hasan alleged he was assaulted by police in Chattogram. The Bangladesh Cricket Board backed the call, with officials stating they'd seek a thorough review of the claims. The episode occurred in the spinner's hometown and has drawn attention from cricket authorities in both countries.

Nayeem claimed harassment by law enforcement during the reported encounter. No immediate response has come from the involved agency. The matter remains under preliminary review by Bangladeshi cricket bodies, with no formal complaint details or next steps released yet.

England have added uncapped Sussex fast bowler Henry Crocombe to their squad for the second Test against New Zealand as cover for Ollie Robinson, who's nursing a knee injury.

The 24-year-old hasn't played international cricket yet but has caught the eye in domestic cricket with Sussex. The second Test begins later this week, with England trailing the series 1-0.
