Taskin Ahmed's called into Bangladesh's T20I squad for the Zimbabwe series, replacing Mustafizur Rahman who tore his right hamstring (Grade 1) and is ruled out for the rest of the tour. He'll also miss the start of The Hundred.

Taskin's Lanka Premier League stint with Jaffna Kings is on hold until after the Zimbabwe series wraps. Bangladesh had already cleared Mustafizur for the full 2026 Hundred season before the injury hit.

Pratika Rawal won't play India's one-off women's Test against England at Lord's — a knee injury sustained during an India A match has ruled her out. Priya Punia replaces her in the squad.

The injury came before the fixture, which starts Friday at the home of cricket. India named Punia as cover for the opener position immediately after the medical assessment.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed that Sanju Samson got a full explanation for his omission from the Zimbabwe T20I squad, and the door isn't shut on a return for the England series.

Ravichandran Ashwin waded in to criticise the decision, calling it simply unfair. The timing's awkward: Samson just signed with Chennai Super Kings for the 2026 IPL season, swapping the franchise environment that helped build his name.

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman is out of the Zimbabwe tour and the start of The Hundred next year. Injury concerns forced the decision after a final fitness assessment by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Rahman had been cleared for the full Hundred season just weeks ago, so this reversal signals something's flared up. Team management now has to find replacement bowlers for the limited-overs fixtures, and The Hundred franchises holding his registration will have to rebuild their early-match plans without him. No return date's been set.

India captain Shreyas Iyer didn't hold back after England's 125-run win in the third T20I. He called the batting performance atrocious and unacceptable — language strong enough that Dinesh Karthik later said he'd rarely heard the captain speak that way. The loss handed England a 2-0 series lead and marked England's biggest T20I win over India.

Indian spinner R Sai Kishore has signed a short-term deal with Gloucestershire for the closing stretch of the 2026 County Championship season. He'll feature in the final six matches, with his first appearance set for August 20 against Worcestershire.

Gloucestershire needed additional spin options for the run-in and moved quickly to secure Kishore, who's played county cricket before. He's cleared to join the setup immediately, giving the club an experienced left-arm option when most counties have their squads locked in.

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das has been ruled out of the remaining ODIs against Zimbabwe after failing a fitness test for a left calf and hamstring injury. Parvez Hossain Emon has been named as his replacement.

The injury prevented Litton from recovering in time for the rest of the series. Bangladesh have adjusted their squad accordingly.

No timeline was given for Litton's expected return to the side.

England opener Tammy Beaumont announced she will retire from international cricket after the one-off women's Test against India at Lord's. The 35-year-old made the announcement ahead of the match that begins on July 10. Beaumont has played 260 matches for England across all formats since her debut in 2009.

She has appeared in 11 Tests, 140 ODIs and 109 T20Is. Beaumont is England's leading century-maker in women's ODIs. She will continue to play domestic cricket after the Test concludes.

The match marks her final international appearance. Beaumont holds the record as England's leading ODI centurion.

Sourav Ganguly was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame on his 54th birthday. He's the 10th men's cricketer from India to join the select group — only 12 Indians have the honour in total.

Ganguly thanked ICC chairman Jay Shah for the recognition.

The ICC has contacted the England and Wales Cricket Board after footage emerged of Ben Stokes announcing his retirement to teammates during the third Test against New Zealand. The contact alleges a breach of rules governing players and match officials.

The video surfaced after the Test concluded. No further steps from the ICC have been confirmed yet, and the ECB hasn't issued a public response.

England posted 201 and bowled India out for 76 at Trent Bridge on Sunday. Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue did most of the damage.

Archer said wickets fall more easily in the IPL than on the surfaces England use at home.

The margin is India's heaviest T20I defeat by runs. The fourth match is next.

Anvay Dravid scored 87 off 67 balls in the second Youth ODI against Sri Lanka Under-19s in Hambantota. He put on 145 with Arjun Rajput (76) for the second wicket as India reached 285 for nine — but Sri Lanka got there with two wickets in hand.

Dravid, son of former India captain Rahul, played the second match of the series. His brother Samit's also been turning heads in domestic cricket.

Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has received a No Objection Certificate to play the full 2026 edition of The Hundred. The clearance removes any scheduling conflict with his IPL contract at Kolkata Knight Riders, according to the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

The Hundred runs for six weeks in the northern summer, and franchises will name their squads closer to tournament start. Mustafizur's availability means teams can lock in an experienced short-format operator without worrying about BCB restrictions.

England chased down India's total at Old Trafford with four wickets in hand, Jacob Bethell finishing unbeaten on 76 from 46 balls to seal it.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made his India debut at 15 years and 99 days—younger than Sachin Tendulkar when he played his first match for the country. He hit two sixes off 10 balls but didn't stay long, out for 14.

Laxman Sivaramakrishnan thinks the teenager shouldn't be rested and could feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board is preparing a coaching position for Mushfiqur Rahim once he steps away from international cricket. The board will also review applications from local coaches for the role.

Mushfiqur holds the record for most caps in Bangladesh cricket and has been the team's primary wicketkeeper-batter for over 15 years. His retirement will mark the end of an era.

The board expects to finalize the appointment after Mushfiqur announces his retirement, though no timeline has been set.
