Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag has undergone surgery on his right shoulder. He'll now start a rehabilitation programme before any return to competitive action.

Parag shared the news on social media. Rajasthan Royals haven't released a specific timeline. He'd been managing the shoulder issue through the season.

The surgery adds to the list of injury recoveries the franchise is tracking. Other Royals players are working through their own rehab schedules. Parag's availability for the rest of IPL 2026 remains uncertain.

Trent Boult and Corbin Bosch took seven wickets between them as MI New York chased down 159 to beat Texas Super Kings by eight wickets in Major League Cricket. The pair's bowling effort on the powerplay set the tone — by the time the chase began, the game was already tilting.

The ICC has launched Return to Play Post-Pregnancy Guidelines for female cricketers. The guidelines introduce a six-stage framework called the 6 Rs: Ready, Review, Restore, Recondition, Return and Refine. They provide structured support for players, member boards and medical staff during the return process.

The framework aims to help national boards implement consistent medical and performance protocols after pregnancy. It covers physical recovery, fitness rebuilding and gradual reintegration into competitive cricket. Member nations are expected to adopt the guidelines in their domestic and international programmes.

Implementation will begin immediately across ICC full-member countries. Boards will receive supporting materials and medical templates to align their existing return-to-play policies. The ICC will monitor adoption rates in the coming months.

Rovman Powell tore into the middle order with 37 off 11 balls — five sixes in a row — while Sunil Narine struck twice in the powerplay as Los Angeles Knight Riders dismantled Seattle Orcas by 81 runs on Saturday. LAKR posted 196 and bowled out the Orcas for 115, staying unbeaten after two matches.

Narine and Powell have become LAKR's fastest answer when the opposition sets anything resembling a target. In a tournament where momentum compounds fast, the pair are delivering exactly when it matters most.

Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson aren't going anywhere. Both received written warnings ahead of England's third Test at Trent Bridge, but they're staying in the squad. Ollie Robinson and Jamie Smith are back in. Sonny Baker and James Rew are out.

Hashmatullah Shahidi's run across the pitch during Afghanistan's third ODI in Chennai has cost him a reprimand and one demerit point. The ICC Code of Conduct breach is a minor one, but it's the kind that stacks up — demerit points carry over through a player's career.

Meanwhile, India's named their ODI squad for England, and Virat Kohli's back in it. He's been out since the Afghanistan series with an injury, but the selectors have cleared him to return subject to fitness. Shubman Gill will captain. Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, and Harshit Rana are in; Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mohammed Siraj are out.

Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel and Harshit Rana stay in. Kohli heads for a re-evaluation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence on June 22. Mohammed Siraj is left out.

Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi copped an official reprimand and one demerit point from the ICC for deliberately damaging the pitch during the third ODI against India in Chennai. The breach occurred while Afghanistan batted in the limited-overs series.

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das has been ruled out of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe with a left calf strain. The same issue kept him out of the recent T20I series against Australia. Mahidul Islam Bhuiyan steps in after the BCB medical team decided Das wouldn't recover in time.

England will host Bangladesh for a one-off Test in late May 2027 as preparation for the home Ashes. Lord's is still a possibility depending on the World Test Championship final schedule. It's Bangladesh's first Test tour to England in 17 years.

Warwickshire posted 330 on day two at Taunton, with Sam Hain, Beau Webster and Dan Mousley all crossing fifty to build the total. Somerset reached 23 for one in reply.

The visitors hold a 122-run first-innings lead after two days. Three batters passed fifty on a pitch that's been offering real help to the bowlers, and Somerset lost an early wicket before stumps.

Matt Henry took five wickets and Henry Nicholls scored an unbeaten century as New Zealand took control of the second Test against England at The Oval. New Zealand ended day three with a lead of 352 runs and seven wickets in hand after bowling England out for 291 in their first innings.

England's position worsened on day three due to drops by debutant wicketkeeper James Rew. Henry Nicholls remained unbeaten on 119. The visitors hold a strong position heading into day four.

New Zealand will look to extend their advantage when play resumes. England need quick wickets to stay in the contest.

ICC Chairman Jay Shah and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia sat down with Sri Lanka Cricket officials in Colombo to push through governance reforms — specifically constitutional changes and a shift toward elected administration.

Matt Renshaw stayed unbeaten on 89 as Australia beat Bangladesh by seven runs in the second T20I at Chattogram, wrapping up the series 2-0. It was a sharp turnaround after losing the preceding ODI series — Australia's bowling tightened in the middle overs, and their batters found consistency when it mattered.

Renshaw said afterward the team had settled a score. He's grown more at ease in T20 cricket after limited exposure, and this innings showed it — the kind of anchor role Australia's middle order has lacked on recent white-ball tours.

India host Afghanistan in the third and final ODI on Friday with a series win already secured. The hosts have dominated the opening two matches and will look to complete a clean sweep.

Afghanistan will rely on their top-order batters to post a competitive total and avoid a 3-0 defeat. The visitors have struggled with the bat in the series so far.

India captain Shubman Gill has called the selection choices for upcoming England ODIs a positive problem after strong showings from multiple players in the Afghanistan series.

Shreyanka Patil's World Cup is over. The off-spinner suffered an ankle ligament injury while fielding against the Netherlands on June 17, forcing India to call up uncapped leg-spinner Prema Rawat as her replacement. The ICC's Event Technical Committee approved the change.
