Romario Shepherd and Shamar Joseph were the standout bowlers for Guyana Amazon Warriors as they dismissed St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for 128 to complete a six-match winning streak in the Caribbean Premier League. Auqib Nabi contributed with both bat and ball to keep the Warriors on top of the table.

Patriots struggled to build partnerships after an early loss and could not post a competitive total on a surface offering assistance to the seamers. Warriors chased the target with ease to maintain their perfect record.

The win leaves Warriors as the team to beat heading into the latter stages of the tournament. Their unbeaten run has established them as the competition's dominant side with the playoffs approaching.

Mushtaq Ahmed has no interest in coaching Pakistan again. The former leg-spinner said he'd be scared to work for the PCB, pointing to the constant sackings that follow poor results.

He's not been approached for any role, but the pattern is familiar. Pakistan have burned through multiple coaches in recent years after early exits in major tournaments, and Ahmed isn't keen to become the next name on that list.

Meerut Mavericks defeated Lucknow Falcons by 94 runs to win the Uttar Pradesh T20 League 2026 title on Sunday. Divyansh Joshi scored 105 off 40 balls and Vishal Chaudhary took four for 24 to seal the victory.

Rinku Singh captained the winning side while Bhuvneshwar Kumar led Lucknow Falcons to their first final in four seasons. The all-round display from Meerut proved too strong for the Falcons in the summit clash.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has not played for India since November 2022. His brief response to comeback calls went viral on social media after the final.

Suresh Raina called on Kolkata Knight Riders to appoint Rinku Singh as captain ahead of the IPL 2027 season. Rinku led Meerut Mavericks to nine wins in ten matches in the UP T20 League 2026.

Rinku guided Meerut Mavericks to the title, defeating Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Lucknow Falcons by 94 runs in the final. Divyansh Joshi scored 105 off 40 balls and Vishal Chaudhary took 4 for 24 in the title-winning campaign.

Rinku was among eight players dropped from India's T20I squad for the upcoming series against Afghanistan. The UP T20 League provided him an opportunity to lead in the shortest format before the IPL auction cycle begins.

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi will serve as chief guest at the Women's Asia Cup final scheduled for September 13 in Dubai. Hindustan Times and DNA India reported the confirmation on Tuesday.

The announcement revives the question of whether India will accept the trophy from Naqvi if they reach and win the final. The Indian men's team declined to accept the Asia Cup trophy from the PCB chief last year.

No statement has come from the BCCI or the Indian women's team management on the protocol. The final will decide whether the trophy handover becomes a diplomatic issue again.

Cricket Australia announced a 16-player squad for the three-match Test series against South Africa. Marnus Labuschagne retains his place despite recent struggles, with Cooper Connolly and Josh Inglis included as possible replacements. Selection chief George Bailey said all options remain open for the number three position.

The tour marks Australia's first Test visit to South Africa since 2018. South Africa have named their squad for the preceding three-match ODI series against Australia, which begins their home summer. The Test leg starts later this month.

Labuschagne's continued selection reflects selectors' willingness to back established players through form dips. The additions of Connolly and Inglis provide depth across batting and wicketkeeping options.

The summer of cricket concludes with the third ODI between England and Ireland at Worcester. Highlights of the match are available to watch on BBC iPlayer. The series marks the final international fixtures of the English summer before the domestic season takes over.

England and Ireland have completed their three-match ODI series at New Road. The broadcast platform provides viewers access to key moments from the contest between the two sides.

The conclusion of this series brings the international schedule in England to a close for the current season.

Sadeesha Samarawickrama stayed not out on 48 as Sri Lanka chased down Bangladesh by four wickets and booked their place in the Women's Asia Cup semi-finals. Praboda claimed career-best figures of 3 for 21 to keep Bangladesh in check after they chose to bat first. Sri Lanka finished the job with overs to spare at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

The result leaves UAE needing a heavy win over Bangladesh in their final group match if they are to catch them on net run rate. Sri Lanka end the group stage second in Group B behind India.

Former India opener Aakash Chopra says the BCCI's plan for SENA warm-ups ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup makes sense, but only if the opposition is strong.

He pointed out that second-string attacks won't give the side the kind of test they need. The quality of the bowling they face, he said, will decide whether these matches are actually useful.

The BCCI hasn't named any opponents or dates yet.

Former captain Misbah-ul-Haq criticised the PCB's recent squad overhaul, describing it as cosmetic surgery that will not fix deeper structural problems. Misbah resigned shortly after the board issued show-cause notices to every member of the selection committee.

The PCB axed seven players and two coaches midway through the England series. The board also seized players' mobile phones ahead of the Test, citing ICC integrity regulations.

Misbah urged the PCB to study India's long-term investment model rather than pursue quick fixes after consecutive defeats.

A video from the Kerala Cricket League 2026 final presentation ceremony showing S Sreesanth and Sanju Samson avoiding a handshake has circulated widely on social media. The moment has prompted speculation about tension between the two Kerala cricketers.

Sreesanth greeted several people on stage but moved past Samson without making contact. Neither player has commented on the incident.

Samson is currently with Rajasthan Royals, while Sreesanth works as a commentator and mentor in domestic cricket.

Suresh Raina praised Rishabh Pant's hard work and performances, calling him one of his favourite players and highlighting his X-factor. Raina said Pant will mature in white-ball cricket and the IPL as well.

Pant has not played an ODI or T20I since 2022. He remains India's Test vice-captain and leads Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.

Raina urged Pant to work on his mindset to revive his limited-overs career.

Shubman Gill scored 40 runs off 21 balls at a strike rate of 190.48 in his first T20 match since the IPL 2026 final. The India captain struck seven fours and one six while opening the batting for Fazilka Falcons in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 League.

Gill's appearance came after India's recent Test series in Sri Lanka. He wasted little time in finding his timing, reaching his runs in quick time during the match against Ludhiana Lions.

Fazilka Falcons edged Ludhiana Lions by one run in a last-ball thriller. Gill was named Player of the Match for his contribution to the narrow victory.
