The Mumbai Cricket Association approached BCCI CEO Hemang Amin for permission to film the Mumbai senior team's entire 2026-27 domestic campaign. The proposed documentary would cover matches across all formats.

The association aims to document the season from pre-season training through the final fixture. BCCI approval is required before any filming can begin.

No decision has been announced. The project would be the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes record of a senior state side's full season.

The BCCI is keeping a close watch on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and has urged the 15-year-old to follow Sachin Tendulkar's path to a sustained career. Board secretary Devajit Saikia said the focus is on long-term development rather than short-term success.

Sooryavanshi became the youngest male cricketer to represent India during the T20I series in England in July. He is not currently in India's red-ball plans.

Ishan Kishan said the teenager is very smart for his age and knows what he is doing on the field.

Darren Shanaka scored the fastest century in Caribbean Premier League history as St Kitts and Nevis Patriots posted 235 against St Lucia Kings. The innings set up a 137-run victory.

St Lucia Kings collapsed to 98 all out in reply. Jeremiah Louis took a maiden T20 five-wicket haul to finish the innings.

The result strengthens Patriots' position in the CPL standings with several matches still to play.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board wants Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and other emerging prospects to build long and successful careers like Sachin Tendulkar. The comments came during a review meeting in Mumbai attended by head coach Gambhir, captains Iyer and Gill, president Mithun Manhas, and COE chief VVS Laxman.

The board is closely monitoring the 15-year-old to prevent premature burnout. Sooryavanshi became the youngest male cricketer to represent India during the T20I series in England in July.

Former India captain Kris Srikkanth said even his wife watched the Duleep Trophy because of Sooryavanshi. He backed the youngster to rule world cricket.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia outlined a careful development strategy for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, emphasising the board's commitment to nurturing his talent beyond early success. The board wants the youngster to build a career like Sachin Tendulkar.

Sooryavanshi has already made headlines by breaking into international cricket at 15 after explosive IPL performances. The BCCI is tracking his development to ensure he avoids being labelled a one-year wonder.

The board's long-term approach was discussed during its high-level review meeting in Mumbai on Thursday. The BCCI is mentoring a broader pool of young players at the Centre of Excellence alongside Sooryavanshi's development.

Noida Kings defeated defending champions Kashi Rudras by one run in the Eliminator of the UPT20 League 2026 on September 3. Prashant Veer produced the decisive all-round performance while Kartik Siddhu claimed a hat-trick as Noida advanced. The match featured late momentum shifts and final-over drama.

Veer struck four consecutive boundaries in the last over to reach his fifty and seal the narrow victory for the Noida side. Kashi Rudras, who had won the previous edition, were eliminated from title contention after the narrow defeat.

The final will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai from September 6 to 10 after the BCCI shifted the summit clash from Bengaluru to allow spectators to attend.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia didn't dodge the issue. India lost eight of nine white-ball games in England and Ireland this summer, and the board sat down in Mumbai on Thursday to work out what to do next.

The schedule ahead gives them little breathing room: a trip to New Zealand followed by the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home. Saikia said the BCCI is trying to cut player workload, but the bigger problem is overseas results.

To stay in the World Test Championship hunt, India must win both Tests in New Zealand.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the two-month IPL stint before India's England assignment contributed to the recent injury wave among national players. He pointed to the demanding schedule as a factor that leaves limited recovery time.

The board is examining how the compressed calendar affects player availability across formats. Saikia said the next Future Tours Programme will include longer rest periods between series.

India lost eight of nine white-ball matches in England and Ireland during June and July. The review meeting in Mumbai on 3 September discussed workload management ahead of the 2027 World Cup cycle.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board will build rest, acclimatisation and warm-up matches into the schedule before any major series in SENA countries. The decision followed a performance review meeting at the board's Mumbai headquarters on Thursday.

The board is reacting to the recent run of injuries and the heavy workload players carry. Saikia pointed to the two-month IPL block that sits right before India's England tour as a key factor.

The BCCI wants a more sustainable plan ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, so the Future Tours Programme will be adjusted to give players recovery time between series.

Issy Wong took a career-best five for 33 as England beat Ireland by six wickets in the second women’s one-day international at Derby on Thursday. The seamer was handed the new ball in the absence of Lauren Bell and bowled with accuracy and control.

Wong dismissed Ireland captain Gaby Lewis and then ran through the lower-middle order to set up victory with 27 overs to spare. England sealed the three-match series with a game remaining.

The win gives England a clean sweep heading into the final ODI. Wong’s five-wicket haul is her first at international level.

Smriti Mandhana said India’s 137-run win over Hong Kong was only the beginning of their Women’s Asia Cup campaign.

Mandhana scored 124 off 64 balls, her second T20I century, and became the first Indian woman to surpass Mithali Raj’s record for most runs in women’s international cricket. She was named Player of the Match.

India will play Pakistan in their final group match on Saturday before the semi-finals.
