His sportsman’s hernia had also resurfaced, and that kept him out for three months. Just when he was supposed to make a comeback against South Africa in March 2020, the series was called off. The Meerut-born fast bowler played just four games for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2020…

In what comes as a boost for the Chennai Super Kings, star Indian players Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina have reached the club’s base in Mumbai.

Every team and every player…

After a disappointing run in the last two Test matches, Jonny Bairstow has been in solid form in the white-ball leg of this England’s tour of India.
