📢Hashmatullah Shahidi steps down as Afghanistan ODI captain

Afghanistan's Hashmatullah Shahidi has announced his resignation as ODI captain with immediate effect on Wednesday. The 31-year-old batter made the announcement through Instagram, marking the end of a major era in Afghan cricket. Shahidi took charge in January 2022 and captained the side across 55 ODIs, with his final match coming against India in June 2026.
During his four-and-a-half-year tenure, the left-hander oversaw Afghanistan's participation in three major tournaments. He led the side at the 2023 Asia Cup, the 2023 World Cup, and the 2025 Champions Trophy. Afghanistan secured 27 victories from the 55 matches he captained. Memorable wins over England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands came at the 2023 World Cup, though the team narrowly finished sixth and missed out on the semi-finals. At the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai, Afghanistan defeated England again but fell short of the semi-finals after their fixture against Australia was abandoned due to rain.
"Resignation from the captaincy after careful personal consideration, I have decided to step down as captain of our team. It has been a great honor to lead this team. I sincerely thank the management, coaches, my teammates, and our supporters for their trust and support throughout this journey. Although I am resigning as captain, I remain fully committed to serving the team as a player and wish the new captain and the team continued success," Shahidi wrote on Instagram.

Why did Shahidi step down at this stage?
The exact reasons for Shahidi's departure were not detailed in his public statement. He confirmed he will remain available as a player for future ODI assignments, keeping his options open for future involvement with the side.
What lies ahead for Afghanistan's captaincy?
Afghanistan are scheduled to tour Ireland in August for a five-match ODI series, which is expected to be the first ODI campaign under a new captain. The Afghanistan Cricket Board must now identify and announce Shahidi's successor before the tour begins. The matches are scheduled to run from August 5 to 14, 2026.

📢One Day Cup 2026: Ben Stokes hits historic century for Durham weeks after international retirement

Former England Test captain Ben Stokes returned to domestic cricket with an unbeaten century for Durham to help them secure a win against Derbyshire in the opening game of the 2026 One Day Cup. This was the left-hander's first innings back after retiring from international cricket towards the end of the New Zealand series.
Stokes did hint he would continue playing domestic cricket for Durham after his retirement and took the field at the County Ground in Derby on Tuesday, July 21, in front of a modest audience.
Durham were put into bowl in the first innings with Stokes giving nine overs to his side, whilst conceding just 38 runs. However, it was his innings with the bat that caught the eye. Chasing 257, the former England skipper walked out at number four with his side reeling at 24 for 2, having lost opener Alex Lees.
Stokes patiently started his innings but quickly got into his groove. The talismanic batter would eventually end up with an unbeaten 108 off 123 deliveries to help his side secure a five-wicket win. Hitting 10 fours and three sixes, including two against his former England teammate Shoaib Bashir, the left-hander struck at 87.80 to chase down the total in the final over.
An historic century for Ben Stokes and Durham
Stokes played his first List A game for Durham since representing the northern county in the 2014 One Day Cup final at Lord's, which they happened to win. The all-rounder was named Player of the Match for his two-wicket haul and an unbeaten 38 in a low-scoring affair.
Stokes' century against Derbyshire was his 10th time passing triple digits in his List A career, his first since hitting 108 off 84 balls against the Netherlands during the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
However, it was the left-handed batter's first List A century for Durham in nearly 12 years. He scored his last hundred for the county against Nottinghamshire in August 2014, scoring 103 at Chester-le-Street.

📢'I consider him my mentor' - Ashok Sharma opens up on Ashish Nehra's impact on his career
'I consider him my mentor' - Ashok Sharma opens up on Ashish Nehra's impact on his career (Source - Instagram)
Fast bowler Ashok Sharma credited Ashish Nehra's backing as crucial to his rise, marking his maiden India call-up for the Zimbabwe T20I series beginning Thursday, July 23, 2026. The young pacer earned selection after impressing with Rajasthan in the domestic circuit and delivering consistently with Gujarat Titans during IPL 2026. His emergence comes as the BCCI prepares fresh faces for the three-match series at Harare Sports Club.
Sharma's path to international recognition accelerated following strong performances in domestic T20 cricket and the franchise competition. He concluded the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26 as the leading wicket-taker with 22 scalps across 10 innings for Rajasthan. The combination of domestic success and IPL exposure earned him recognition in the squad announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
"Whenever I talk about belief, I think of Nehra sir. I used to go to him with every doubt. Whenever I had any self-doubt or needed to ask something, I would approach him. He had told me once, 'Even if you come to me at midnight with a question, I will be ready for you.' So whenever I had any doubt, whether it was about a delivery or anything related to my bowling, I would go to him. After matches, I would go to his room and watch videos of my bowling. I would ask him what more I could perfect and what I needed to work on. I consider him my mentor. I have learned so much from him this IPL season, and he has helped me a lot," said Ashok on JioStar.
What are Ashok Sharma's immediate goals?
Sharma also articulated his short-term targets now that he has made the squad. The 23-year-old expressed his primary focus as earning his India jersey and maximizing the Zimbabwe opportunity.
"My first target will be to wear the India jersey. I am waiting for that moment, to wear that jersey and represent my nation. Now that I am in the squad for the series against Zimbabwe, my next target will be to take as many wickets as possible and try to play as many matches as I can. I want to make this opportunity count. My next goal after that will be to play red-ball cricket for India as soon as possible," said Ashok.
The series runs from July 23 to 26 at Harare Sports Club, with matches scheduled for July 23, July 25, and July 26. Sharma receives his maiden T20I selection alongside pacer Yash Thakur and wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh. With domestic and IPL momentum on his side, the pacer enters international cricket with a clear roadmap and trusted mentor backing his progress.

Zimbabwe have named a 15-member squad for their three-match T20I series against India, beginning Thursday, July 23 at the Harare Sports Club. Sikandar Raza leads the squad as captain, which includes paceman Newman Nyamhuri and wicketkeeper Clive Madande, both key players in Zimbabwe's setup for the assignment.
All three matches will be played at Harare Sports Club, with the series beginning on Thursday, July 23, 2026, and the second and third games scheduled for July 25 and July 26. The squad reflects Zimbabwe's intent to compete at home, with a mix of experience and emerging talent heading into what promises to be a competitive series.
Zimbabwe's squad for India T20I series:
Sikandar Raza (captain), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Ben Curran, Brad Evans, Clive Madande (wicketkeeper), Tinotenda Maposa, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Tashinga Musekiwa, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, and Milton Shumba
India arrives in Harare following back-to-back bilateral T20I series defeats. India lost their opening T20 international to Ireland by 34 runs, marking Ireland's first-ever victory over the world champions after eight previous defeats. England dominated their series with a 4-0 whitewash, while Ireland secured a 2-0 victory. India have gone five consecutive T20Is without a win, their longest winless streak in the format.
The opening match begins on Thursday at 4:30 PM IST, with Zimbabwe seeking to capitalise on home advantage against a struggling Indian outfit looking to rebuild momentum in the shortest format.
Speaking about India, Sanju Samson has been left out of the squad after a string of underwhelming performances in the T20I series against Ireland and England, paving the way for 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to retain his place following his international debut.
Meanwhile, Mayank Yadav and Rinku Singh have earned recalls to the national setup. India have also handed maiden T20I call-ups to Prabhsimran Singh, Ashok Sharma, and Yash Thakur. Harsh Dubey, who recently represented the Men in Blue in the ODI series against Afghanistan, has received his maiden call-up to India's T20I squad.

Former England captain Alastair Cook has once again questioned Jacob Bethell's decision to stay with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during the IPL, stating that international cricket should always take precedence over franchise leagues.
Cook's remarks have resurfaced after Bethell was ruled out of this year's The Hundred due to a knee injury, a setback that has denied him valuable match practice ahead of England's upcoming Test series against Pakistan. The injury sustained during the ODI series against India has also cast doubt on his availability for the red-ball assignment.
Speaking on a podcast with Mo Bobat and Dinesh Karthik, Cook reiterated his stance, arguing that England's priorities should come ahead of the IPL.
"What I'm saying, I think this is where it's really important. I'm here for the Test match in a week's time, and one of our No. 3 players (is sitting on the bench)... I think it's really important that English cricket is more important than an IPL or a franchise. That's what I think, and apparently, I'm not allowed to think it, because the IPL is the best tournament in the world," the former skipper said on the Stick to Cricket podcast.
Cook also questioned whether another season on the bench in the IPL was beneficial for Bethell's growth, stressing that regular game time would have been more valuable.
"So I'm taking it from Jacob Bethel, who sat on the bench the year before and learnt from all those players, who then also sitting on the bench is not playing. I'm sitting here going, my No. 3 to the side I actually really want to win, which is England, no disrespect to RCB and all those franchises, I want England to be the most successful side."

Earlier this year, Bethell had defended his decision to remain with RCB despite getting limited opportunities in the playing XI. The young batter said there was "no right or wrong way" to approach such situations and maintained that training alongside some of the world's best players in the IPL had contributed significantly to his development, even without regular match time.
