Enjoyed My Time At The ECB: Andrew Strauss

“I’ve really enjoyed my time at the ECB and am proud of having contributed to a successful period for our England teams. With increasing commitments outside of the organisation, sadly I’ve decided it’s time to step away from my current role. I wish the new Board all the very best as it continues in its mission to grow our game,” said Strauss who also served as the Director of England Cricket for over three years.

Andrew Strauss Has Given Outstanding Service To English Cricket: ECB Chairman Richard Thompson

“Andrew has given outstanding service to English cricket over many years in a number of different roles. I’ve greatly valued the advice and expertise he has provided in my time as Chair, and have enjoyed working with him. We are currently implementing the vast majority of recommendations from his impressive High-Performance Review, which I believe will help our England Men’s teams to sustain their success. I have no doubt he has much more to contribute to the game and hope he will return in the future.”

ECB has appointed three Non-Executive Directors in Penny Avis, Baroness Zahida Manzoor CBE, Jennifer Owen Adams, and Gareth Williams following the unfortunate demise of Brenda Trenowden, who passed away in August 2022, and several current Board members leaving the Board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Record-breaking knock! Twitter reacts as Pathum Nissanka becomes first Sri Lankan to smash ODI double century

Image
Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka scripted history as he scored his maiden ODI double ton in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Pallekele. The Lankans scored a mammoth 381/3 in 50 overs. He became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket. He surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya’s career-best ODI score of 189 to achieve this rare feat. He got to the landmark hitting a boundary four of Afghan pacer Fareed Malik. Nissanka finished with 210 off 139 deliveries as he hit 20 fours and 8 sixes in his innings at a strike rate of 151.07. He first added 182 runs for the first wicket with Avishka Fernando (88). Kusal Mendis the captain scored 16, Charith Asalanka an unbeaten 7 as Nissaka added another crucial stand of 120 runs with Sadeera. Every Afghanistan bowler was expensive in this match. Fareed Malik and Mohammad Nabi were the only two bowlers to pick up wickets. Every bowler barring Nabi conceded runs at an excess of seven runs per over. Malik went for 79 runs off h...

“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

Image
In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

“Hardik Pandya leave captaincy” – Twitter reacts as RR’s Riyan Parag, Trent Boult hand MI their 3rd consecutive defeat

Image
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
