India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan said calmness and teamwork are the key to adapting while switching between formats in international cricket. Kishan opened up after India's seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in the opening T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Kishan added that he would not leave his bed for two days after the match, citing fatigue from the quick transition between formats. He also highlighted his partnership with Abhishek Sharma during their 121-run stand that set up the chase.

India chased down Afghanistan's 157 with seven wickets in hand. Arshdeep Singh took three wickets while Abhishek Sharma scored 84 off 32 balls.

Rob Keogh is calling time on his Northamptonshire career at the end of this season. The 34-year-old all-rounder has spent his entire 16 years at the County Ground, making his first-class debut in 2010, and informed the club of his decision this week on medical advice.

Over that span, Keogh's compiled more than 7,000 first-class runs and taken over 200 wickets—a steady presence across all formats. He's been part of multiple promotion pushes and carried senior responsibilities throughout his tenure. The club consulted with medical staff before finalizing the decision.

Northants loses a player who's been synonymous with the club for nearly two decades. He'll remain involved in some capacity after retirement, though the specifics haven't been detailed.

Anuj Dal's retirement from Derbyshire caught the club's attention early this month. The 28-year-old all-rounder informed them he's stepping away after the current season to move into financial services.

Dal leaves after nine years with the club. He played 45 first-class matches, built 2,000 runs, and picked up over 50 wickets across formats — a reliable contributor both with bat and ball. The club released a statement thanking him for his professionalism and work off the field.

Derbyshire faces a real gap now. All-rounders who can bat in the middle order and bowl more than a handful of overs are hard to replace mid-cycle. The county's already searching for someone to fill the void when they return for the 2027 season.

Former India opener Kris Srikkanth has opposed Hemang Badani's appointment as Chennai Super Kings head coach for the 2027 season. Srikkanth said MS Dhoni's presence in the setup makes external coaching support unnecessary. The comments come amid speculation over the franchise's next coaching appointment.

Srikkanth backed Chandrakant Pandit as a preferred alternative and questioned why CSK would look outside the organisation. Chennai have struggled in recent seasons and the coaching role remains vacant. The franchise is yet to confirm any changes to its support staff.

Badani has not commented on the reports linking him to the position. CSK are expected to finalise their coaching setup ahead of the 2027 IPL auction cycle.

Nathan Ellis has identified Australia's ODI series against Zimbabwe as key preparation for next year's World Cup. The fast bowler said the matches offer an opportunity to refine his variations ahead of the tournament.

Ellis has focused on developing his out-swinger as a complement to his back-of-the-hand slower ball. He views the upcoming fixtures as a chance to demonstrate consistency in both white-ball formats.

Australia begin the three-match ODI series in Zimbabwe this week before travelling to South Africa. Ellis remains outside the Test squad for the tour.

Scott Borthwick will retire from professional cricket at the end of the 2026 season. The Durham batter and former captain has played 18 years at the professional level.

Borthwick will move into a full-time coaching role after hanging up his boots. Durham confirmed the timeline on Tuesday.

The club has not named a successor for the captaincy. Borthwick led Durham in both red-ball and white-ball cricket during his tenure.

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has spoken publicly for the first time about the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency inquiry involving him and Imam-ul-Haq. Rizwan said he is waiting for the inquiry to end and will address any findings once the process concludes.

The NCCIA investigation examines conduct during Pakistan's tour of England, including social media activity. Rizwan confirmed he is cooperating with the agency and has not been formally charged.

The probe has not yet produced a timeline for completion or indicated potential sanctions against either player.

Mohammad Rizwan said he is cooperating with Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency after allegations of dressing-room information leaks during the England Test series. He and Imam-ul-Haq were questioned after being sent home following the second Test at Lord's.

Rizwan told Samaa TV he would provide a detailed response once the inquiry concludes. Five other players were also sent home after the Lord's Test.

The investigation remains ongoing. No charges have been filed.

Gloucestershire seamer Luke Charlesworth will retire from cricket because of a back injury. The 23-year-old made the decision after medical advice confirmed he could not continue playing.

Charlesworth had been part of Gloucestershire's playing staff and was considered a prospect for the county's pace attack.

The retirement ends a career that began with promise but was cut short by persistent injury issues.

The ICC has fined Pakistan 50 percent of their match fee and deducted 11 World Test Championship points for a slow over-rate in the third Test against England at Edgbaston. The team finished 11 overs short after time allowances were applied.

Captain Babar Azam accepted the sanction without a formal hearing. The deduction follows England's 3-0 series victory and leaves Pakistan ninth in the WTC standings with a points percentage of 4.63.

Pakistan have received similar penalties in recent Test series. Officials have urged stricter compliance with over-rate regulations.
