ICC concludes review of Ben Stokes retirement video filmed in dressing room and shared during play with no action taken against ECB.
The ICC has wrapped its review of footage showing Ben Stokes' retirement announcement filmed inside the England dressing room and shared during play. The governing body wrote to the ECB about a possible breach of PMOA standards but decided no further action was needed after the matter was handled amicably.
England cricket authorities received the ICC letter and responded promptly, which appears to have closed the file without sanctions.
Derbyshire all-rounder Wayne Madsen ends his T20 Blast career after years of service with the county.
Wayne Madsen has retired from T20 Blast cricket. The Derbyshire all-rounder's exit closes a long chapter in the county's shortest-format plans.
Madsen spent multiple seasons contributing with bat and ball for the club. His departure now forces Derbyshire to rethink how they fill the middle order and lower-order roles he's vacated.
Taskin Ahmed steps in for injured Mustafizur Rahman in Bangladesh's T20I squad against Zimbabwe, delaying his LPL stint with Jaffna Kings.
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 is out of the Lord's Test with a knee injury. Priya Punia has been added to the squad as her replacement.
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.
Gautam Gambhir says Sanju Samson knows exactly why he's out and hasn't ruled out England. Ravichandran Ashwin called the call unfair.
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's lead pacer won't play the Zimbabwe series or The Hundred's opening fixtures due to injury.
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.
Shreyas Iyer called India's batting collapse atrocious and unacceptable after a 125-run loss to England.
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.
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.

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.

India blooded 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the T20I series against England, making him the youngest debutant in the country's history. Former players now debate his long-term role and development path.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is 15 years and 99 days old. He just became India's youngest international debutant, breaking a record Sachin Tendulkar held for 34 years.
He scored 14 in the match, striking two sixes. India's pushing youth into the senior T20 setup now, and Sooryavanshi's the proof.
Laxman Sivaramakrishnan doesn't want the management benching him straight after debut — he sees a 2027 ODI World Cup role for the kid. Parthiv Patel went further, saying India needs to be clear about whether Sooryavanshi's actually going to play T20Is again, or if this was a one-off showcase.
Anvay Dravid hit 87 off 67 in the second Youth ODI. India posted 285 but Sri Lanka chased it down for an eight-wicket win.
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.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became India's youngest international debutant at 15 but managed only 14 off 10 balls.
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.
Ben Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket before day four of the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. He will end his career at the conclusion of the current series.
Ben Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket during day four of the third Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge. The England captain will end his career at the conclusion of the current series.

Rachin Ravindra starred in a record opening stand as New Zealand built a strong position on day three of the third Test against England at Trent Bridge.
Rachin Ravindra and his opening partner built a 317-run stand on day three at Trent Bridge — a series record that's swung momentum firmly toward New Zealand. Nathan Smith had just taken four wickets to hand the visitors an 84-run lead, but this partnership flipped the script entirely.
Ravindra remained unbeaten on fifty as New Zealand tightened their grip on the match. With a 317-run opening stand in the bank and the series decider still live, the visitors have moved into the driver's seat.
Shreyas Iyer lost his first match as full-time T20I captain after Ireland pulled off a historic chase, exposing gaps between leadership talk and on-field delivery.
Shreyas Iyer's debut as full-time India T20I captain ended in defeat to Ireland. India started strong but fell apart in the middle and death overs, allowing a lower-ranked side to complete a historic chase—the kind of result that lands a captain's name in an awkward footnote.
Iyer had spent the buildup talking about building a supportive culture, maintaining unity, and playing fearlessly. He praised Harshit Rana's return from injury and spoke about staying in the moment. Gautam Gambhir, the head coach, offered early backing.
But process and accountability sound different when they're tested. Ireland's chase exposed what the squad culture couldn't cover: execution in the phases that mattered most. The new regime now faces an immediate question—not about intent, but about whether the message translates when the pressure gets real.
Ben Duckett hit 113 and Ben Stokes took 4 for 70 on day two at Trent Bridge, but England still trail New Zealand by 215 runs.
Ben Duckett hit 113 on day two at Trent Bridge while New Zealand were being bowled out for 438. Ben Stokes claimed 4 for 70 in their second innings, but England's reply of 223 for 2 leaves them 215 runs behind.
Duckett reached his century before close. England fought back hard after NZ posted their first-innings total on the second morning, but they're still chasing the game heading into day three.
Litton Das has been cleared to join Bangladesh's ODI squad for the three-match series against Zimbabwe after recovering from injury. He missed the preceding Test series.
Bangladesh face Zimbabwe in the opening ODI later this month, and the return gives selectors an experienced middle-order batter they didn't have available for the Tests.
