Sri Lanka Cricket has proposed a six-match white-ball series against India in August 2025, following the postponement of India's tour to Bangladesh. The BCCI is evaluating the proposal, considering the Asia Cup schedule and consulting with players and coaches, including discussions during the Lord's Test.
Telangana CID detained Hyderabad Cricket Association president A Jagan Mohan Rao and four other officials for questioning, following Sunrisers Hyderabad's allegations of blackmail for complimentary tickets during the 2025 IPL season.
During the Lord's Test against England, Rishabh Pant sustained a left index finger injury after being struck by a Bumrah delivery. He is currently under medical supervision, with Dhruv Jurel taking over wicket-keeping duties. England reached 153 for two at tea, with Root scoring a fifty.
England's slow batting in the third Test at Lord's has drawn humorous reactions from the Indian team. Mohammed Siraj was heard teasing the English batters, urging them to display their aggressive 'Bazball' approach. Shubman Gill also sarcastically commented on England's defensive play, highlighting a stark contrast to their usual attacking style. Reddy's impressive bowling spell further compounded England's struggles.
India's Shubman Gill lauded Nitish Kumar Reddy's impressive bowling on Day 1 of the third Test at Lord's, even showcasing his Telugu skills with "Bagundi ra mawa." Reddy's spell proved crucial, dismissing Duckett and Crawley, transforming England's promising start into a shaky 44-2. Earlier, England captain Ben Stokes chose to bat first after winning the toss in favorable conditions.
Jasprit Bumrah's return to the Indian team at Lord's was marked by early frustration as his warning about the ball's carry went unheeded. Several missed catching opportunities, including missed chances from Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, allowed England to recover from a shaky start. Joe Root's half-century further solidified England's position after India's missed chances.
Rishabh Pant is on the cusp of breaking Virender Sehwag's record for most sixes by an Indian in Test cricket. Needing just five more sixes, Pant could achieve this milestone in the upcoming Lord's Test against England. His rapid ascent to this point is remarkable, considering he's played significantly fewer matches than Sehwag and Rohit Sharma.
In a historic moment, the Indian women's cricket team clinched their first T20I series victory in England on July 9, 2025, mirroring India's first ODI series win on the same date 26 years prior.
