India's injury crisis deepens. Prince Yadav replaces Harshit Rana in the ODI squad while Ravi Bishnoi comes in for Varun Chakaravarthy in the T20I setup — both fast-tracked after hamstring injuries sidelined the originals during the England T20 series.

Yadav, a domestic fast bowler, and Bishnoi, an experienced leg-spinner, will join the squad for the ODI series against England and the subsequent T20I leg against Zimbabwe. The BCCI selection panel confirmed the changes on Friday, with no other alterations to the white-ball groups.

Daren Sammy's clarified the record: Jason Holder hasn't retired from ODIs — he's taken an indefinite break. Sammy called his initial wording a mistake.

Holder's still active everywhere else. He played in Major League Cricket 2026 for the Los Angeles Knight Riders, taking key wickets with Andre Russell in a tight win over San Francisco. He's playing T20 at franchise and international level, which means he's fit and in demand.

No word yet on when or if he'll return to ODIs, but West Indies selectors will keep watching his form in the shorter formats.

Northamptonshire all-rounder Justin Broad is out for the rest of the 2026 season with a lower back injury sustained during the current campaign. In nine first-team appearances, he's barely had a chance to stake a claim.

Broad will focus on rehabilitation over the off-season, with no return date set. Northamptonshire have already been hit hard by injuries this year — losing him now removes a useful all-round option from the middle order and seam attack as the County Championship and limited-overs competitions head into their final weeks.

The club expects him back for pre-season training in 2027.

Jason Holder and Andre Russell took key wickets as Los Angeles Knight Riders defended a total to beat San Francisco Unicorns by a narrow margin in Major League Cricket 2026.

Holder and Russell finished with strong figures in the chase. The Unicorns fell short despite a late effort from their middle order.

The result keeps Los Angeles Knight Riders in contention in the ongoing MLC season.

India have named Prince Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi as injury replacements for Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy in their white-ball squads for the England series. Yadav comes in for Rana's ODI spot, while Bishnoi takes Chakravarthy's T20I slot. The BCCI confirmed the changes on Sunday.

Jos Buttler made 131 and Harry Brook remained not out on 95 as England posted a large total in the fourth T20I — completing a 4-0 series win over India.

The result moved England to number one in the ICC T20I rankings. India captain Shreyas Iyer later acknowledged the team's struggle to adapt when playing away from home grounds they know.

Former England captain Heather Knight has announced her retirement from international cricket after the ongoing women's Test against India at Lord's. The 35-year-old made the decision following the current match.

Knight ends her career with 320 international appearances. She steps down alongside teammate Tammy Beaumont. No further details on her domestic or franchise commitments were released.

The announcement comes as England prepare for the remainder of their summer schedule. Knight had led the side in all formats before handing over the captaincy.

Derbyshire batter Wayne Madsen will play his final T20 Blast match on Sunday against Leicestershire. He's the county's all-time leading run-scorer in the format with over 5,100 runs.

Madsen will continue playing for Derbyshire in other competitions and represents Italy internationally, so the step back from the Blast doesn't signal a full retirement from cricket.

The ICC named Sourav Ganguly, Anjum Chopra and Kevin Pietersen to its Hall of Fame on Friday. Ganguly gets in for captaining India across 60 Tests and 146 ODIs — he won series in England, Australia and Pakistan. Chopra, who played 127 ODIs and scored 2,850 runs, was instrumental in building India's women's cricket. Pietersen, England's attacking force in 104 Tests (8,181 runs at 47.7), was part of the 2010 T20 World Cup win.

The Hall of Fame now has 106 members. The three will be formally welcomed at a ceremony later this year.

Birmingham Phoenix will need to assess Mustafizur Rahman's fitness before The Hundred 2026. The Bangladesh pacer has been battling hamstring and knee issues — injuries that already cost him time during Bangladesh's recent tour of Zimbabwe, where Taskin Ahmed stepped in.

Mustafizur plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, but the franchise will monitor his condition closely before locking in their squad. If the problems persist, Birmingham's pace attack could take a hit.

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'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.
