Marnus Labuschagne Charged for Dissent Towards Umpire in T20 Max Tournament

Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne has been charged with umpire dissent after a heated exchange during a T20 Max semi-final.

The incident took place during a match between Redlands and Valleys at Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Captaining Redlands, Labuschagne becomes visibly upset during the seven-over run chase at Allan Border Field when the on-field umpires ruled a catch as a bump ball where opponent Hugh Weibegen being given not out.

Replays suggested that Weibegen should have been dismissed. Footage from the Kayo broadcast clearly showed Marnus Labuschagne had engaged in an argument with the umpires. The argument continued after the delivery and umpires suggested to drop the issue and walk away.

After the over, the two umpires walked to the mid-pitch, speculating from commentators who might be considering citing the player for his behavior.

“I don’t think the umpire was too pleased with how all that unfolded. I hope the umpires aren’t comparing notes there to maybe cite Marnus,” the commentator says. “He never swears, or anything like that. He’s just passionate about the game. Pretty respectfully.

“Rightfully so. He thought there was a dismissal that was out, given not out, sometimes the blood can boil. Nothing personal. Just the emotions of this game we play. Sometimes gets the better of you.”

It’s understood that Labuschagne did not use any foul language during the confrontation, but he has been charged with level 2 dissent against an umpire. The right-hand batter is now expected to face a tribunal this week, where he could potentially receive a suspension.

Labuschagne is set to join the Australian ODI squad for their upcoming series against England which starts on September 19, after the end of the T20I series.

However, the potential fallout from this incident could impact Marnus Labuschagne’s participation in domestic cricket. Having recently announced as Queensland’s captain for the 2024-25 Sheffield Shield season, any suspension given will affect his availability for the prestigious FC competition.

Although the Queensland competition’s conduct commissioner cannot suspend Labuschagne from international play, he could face domestic suspension which may affect his participation in the Sheffield Shield.

Labuschagne immediate future in domestic cricket hangs with potential sanctions that could impact his Sheffield Shield availability.

Six Sri Lanka players have obtained new career-high ratings on the latest ICC Men’s Test Rankings following their victory in the third test match against England at The Oval.

Sri Lanka secured their first test victory in England in the recently concluded series, with Skipper Dhanajaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis, and Pathum Nissanka.

The top-order batter helped the side with a stunning century to secure their first win in 10 years. De Silva is the top scorer for Sri Lanka in the first innings of the test with 69 runs and that helped the right-hander obtain a new career-best rating and gain three places to move to 13th overall on the test rankings for batters to now be the leading player on the list from his team.

Kamindu Mendis and Nissanka also found their career-best ratings in the Test batters rankings with the former gaining six places to advance to 19th rank, after his half-century of his own against England and the latter jumping 42 spots to 39th position after smashing 64 and 127*.

England’s Joe Root retained his no. 1 spot despite his scores of 13 and 12 at The Oval. He dropped 25 points from 922 to 899. Following him, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell hold second and third rankings with 859 and 768 points respectively. Australia’s Steven Smith is in fourth place with 757 points.

Rohit Sharma is the highest-ranked batter for India with 751 points and secured fifth position in the rankings. Meanwhile, Jaiswal and Kohli secured the positions of 6 and 7 respectively with 740 and 737 points.

Indian players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been ranked in the top 10 positions despite India haven’t played any tests since March 2024.

The trio has been given advantage with Harry Brook’s failure twice in the third and final test against Sri Lanka.

Harry Brook has dropped to 12th position with 709 rating points even as Babar Azam is close to entering the top 10.

England’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope has gained seven places and has improved to 27th spot after his century in the first innings against Sri Lanka and Jamie Smith secured 30th position jumping six spots after a half-century in the second innings.

Sri Lanka bowlers have also secured their career-best ratings in test bowler rankings, with Vishwa Fernando leading the way by gaining 13 spots to move to equal 31st following five wickets during England tests.

Teammates Lahiru Kumara and Milan Rathnayake secured 32nd and 84th spots in the rankings, while England’s Olly Stone moved 13 places to secure 74th ranking after scalping three wickets in the first innings of the Test.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has unveiled an economic report which revealed that the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has brought a significant boost to the Indian economy.

Around USD 1.39 billion (INR 11,637 Crores) has been brought in for the Indian economy. The Investments from both ICC and BCCI along with the stadium upgrades by State Cricket associations have provided benefits to various Indian businesses.

The ICC tournament has influenced many sectors like Tourism, Travel, Food, and Transportation. Out of these tourism was a major contributor to the overall economic impact.

The influx of domestic and international tourists attending the matches has led to a revenue of USD 861.4 million through travel, accommodation, transportation, and food and beverage services.

The secondary spending within the economy amounted to USD 515.7 million, representing about 37% of the total impact.

International visitors explored various places during their stay, contributing USD 281.2 million to the economy. Nearly 68% of these visitors have visited India as a tourist destination for friends and family enhancing India’s global image further.

In hosting the Cricket World Cup over 48,000 full and part-time jobs were created by the event through direct involvement in delivering the tournament, as well as other organizations across their hospitality which further contributed USD 18 million as value to the economy.

The event showcased high exposure to host cities and India through a branding team kit and verbal mentions, generating a media impact of USD 70.7 million for businesses and stakeholders.

The reports further highlighted the benefits of extending beyond the World Cup period to create an impact lasting on the Indian economy as 59% of international attendees mentioned they were highly likely to visit India again in the future.

The event showcased India as a sporting destination and demonstrated the sport’s power can be used for economic development.

“The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has demonstrated the significant economic power of cricket, generating economic benefit of USD1.39 billion for India. The event created thousands of jobs and showcased India as a premier tourist destination, proving that ICC events not only engage fans passionately but also contribute significantly to the economies of our host nations,” said ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice.

The International Cricket Council has updated the latest ICC test rankings where Indian players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been ranked in the top 10 positions despite India haven’t played any tests since March 2024.

Their last test scheduled comes from England’s tour of India 2024 where the hosts won the series 4-1. They are scheduled to play 10 matches in the BCCI 2024-25 home season starting with a match test series against Bangladesh on September 19.

Even then Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have jumped one place in the ICC rankings.

Skipper Rohit Sharma is the highest-ranked batter for India with 751 points and secured fifth position in the rankings. Meanwhile, Jaiswal and Kohli secured the positions of 6 and 7 respectively with 740 and 737 points. The trio has been given advantage with Harry Brook’s failure twice in the third and final test against Sri Lanka.

He scored only 19 and 3 runs in the final test played at The Oval earlier this week. Harry Brook has dropped to 12th position with 709 rating points even as Babar Azam is close to entering the top 10.

He secured 11th position with 712 points to his name just behind his teammate Mohammad Rizwan and Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne.

Coming back to the Indian trio, they have a chance of climbing even further as there isn’t much difference from 3rd to 7th players.

India will be facing New Zealand after the end of the Bangladesh series and the ranking will be taken into account depending on the performances in these matches.

Meanwhile, Joe Root is very close to reaching his all-time best after the last update. His 25 runs in two innings against Sri Lanka at The Oval have caused him to lose 23 rating points.

He holds the number one spot with 899 points in the ICC rankings for Test batters. Following him, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell hold second and third rankings with 859 and 768 points respectively. Australia’s Steven Smith is in fourth place with 757 points.

Mitchell Marsh Suspends Bowling Options Ahead of England T20Is

Mitchell Marsh is not expected to bowl in the three-match T20I series on Australia’s tour of England in 2024. Marsh will remain focused solely on his role as a batter in the T20I series and will rule out bowling and all-rounder options against England.

Marsh hasn’t bowled in international cricket since suffering a hamstring tear during the IPL 2024 season earlier this year.

Australia’s squad is packed with all-rounder Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, and Marcus Stoinis for seam bowling.

“I’m sort of just building,” Marsh said. “I don’t tend to bowl myself too much, is the honest answer, and we’re lucky that we’ve got plenty of bowling options within our team, so we’ll see how we go. My bowling’s on line: whether or not I bowl, we’ll wait and see. We’ve got heaps of options. I’m always building something.”

Mitchell Marsh did not bowl during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies, where the team was knocked out the Super 8 stages.

Australia’s tour of Scotland 2024 against Scotland marked Australia’s first appearance in the shortest format since the major tournament.

Australia made a clean sweep 3-0 over Scotland and opting for a win in England. While reflecting on Australia’s exit from T20 World Cup 2024 after the side’s defeat against Afghanistan and India, Marsh said, “It feels like a lifetime ago now, that T20 World Cup.”

“It was just disappointment: we went there with the hope of winning it, like every other team did, and unfortunately, we didn’t play our best cricket at the right time. In tournament play, that’s what you rely on…there’s a lot of cricket to be played between now and the next World Cup [in 2026] but hopefully I’m there.”

The first match of the T20I series between Australia and England will be played on September 11 at The Ageas Bowl.

Craig McMillan Excited By New Zealand’s Chances in Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

After Blackcaps announced the New Zealand squad for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, the side’s assistant coach Craig McMillan said he is excited about the upcoming ICC tournament.

The Blackcaps have announced the T20 World Cup squad who will be traveling to UAE for the 20 overs showcase at the end of this month.

On this occasion, McMillan has revealed his excitement about the upcoming tournament saying, “I think the expectations will stay within the group, but what I would say is that we’re excited about the World Cup and the matches that we have in our group.”

“We know that we probably won’t be one of the teams that are favored by many, but we’re confident in the players and the group we have and we’re really looking forward to the tournament,” he added.

McMillan joined New Zealand’s coaching group earlier this year and the Kiwi great will be beginning his new role when the Kiwis suffered a series sweep against England in both the ODI and T20Is in July.

Sophie Devine will be leading the side for the tournament which will be her last assignment as captain. Along with Bates, Devine’s performance in New Zealand’s top order will be pivotal to Kiwi’s prospects with the pair having featured in every edition of the tournament since 2009.

The duo have twice finished as runner-up at the event with New Zealand (2009, 2010) and reached the semi-finals in the 2012 and 2016 seasons. McMillan would love nothing more than to see them lift the trophy at the ninth edition of the tournament.

“When they (Devine and Bates) finish (retire), they will go down as two of the very best that have played for the White Ferns and I couldn’t think of a better way for two legends of the game in New Zealand to perhaps go out, maybe holding a trophy,”  Craig McMillan pondered.

“I like the balance we have with the youngsters learning off the experienced players that we have, but what we need is everyone doing their job to the best of their ability and if that happens, you just never know what might happen come World Cup time.”

McMillan said the team gained lots of lessons from series losses and thinks they can mix it with any opposition should they play at their best.

“I think we learnt that there’s work to be done to compete consistently with the top sides in the world and we obviously recently played England, who are certainly one of those sides that are in the top three (favourites),” Craig McMillan said.

“But also I think what we learned was there’s plenty of talent and skill in this White Ferns side and how good this New Zealand side is I think will show very soon and I’m really excited by that.”

Coming to the tournament, the first match will be played between Bangladesh and Scotland women on October 03 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

New Zealand women will be playing their first match against India women on October 04 at Dubai International Stadium.

AFG vs NZ One-Off Test; Rain Delays the Start of Test on Day 03

AFG vs NZ One Off Test: Persistent rain and overnight showers resulted in an early washout without the toss being held for the third straight day. The Afghanistan vs New Zealand One-Off test is scheduled to be played at Grater Noida Sports Complex Ground.

The first two days of the test were canceled due to the outfield not meeting international standards. Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) who is the home team in this match, has been offered three stadiums in Kanpur, Bengaluru, and Noida.

But they chose Noida due to logistics reasons. “The BCCI offered us three venues – Kanpur, Bengaluru, and this one. We chose to play at Greater Noida as it was most convenient in terms of logistics. It was a two-hour drive from Delhi airport,” said ACB’s international cricket manager Menhajuddin Raz.

“The venue has always been Afghanistan’s home venue. If we talk about back from 2016, we have been playing games here.”

“It is because of the rain. Yesterday also, it rained. We had a three-day game here with one of the local teams which went well. We didn’t face any issues. But when the rain started all of this happened.”

With the outfield less likely to support the playing conditions, both teams will be looking to get some match time especially New Zealand is keen as they are set to play a three-match test series against India in October-November.

Afghanistan Cricket Board has hosted 11 White ball games in the venue and they have also hosted games in Dehradun.

“We had conducted a recce four to six months back, and even the visiting team had done their recce. So there was no issue” said Raaz.

“We tried working on a solution to shift the game and they said that because of the same rain, you will not be able to, you know, actually prepare the venue for you in the coming next 24 hours.”

The last time the first three days of the test were abandoned was in 2008 which was played between New Zealand and Bangladesh at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

England Cricket Team

The Selection Committee has named a 17-member squad for the upcoming three-match test series against Pakistan which will be played in November.

Brydon Carse and Jordan Cox are the only uncapped players in the squad, who are set to start a new career chapter. Ben Stokes will return to England’s test team after missing a three-match test series against Sri Lanka at home.

After a clean sweep victory against West Indies, England secured 2-1 victory in the home series against Sri Lanka.

Stokes who sustained a hamstring injury during The Hundred competition is on his recovery along with Zak Crawley who fractured his little finger at Edgbaston in July.

“Zak Crawley returns to the squad after missing out since the West Indies series in July. Captain Ben Stokes is also included as he continues his recovery from a hamstring tear,” ECB said in a statement.

Spinner Rehan Ahmed who made his test debut in Karachi during the last Pakistan tour in December 2022, returns to the squad along with Jack Leach who is set to feature since the opening test in India in January this year.

Eight players from the 2022 squad which won the last test series 3-0 against Pakistan have been added to the squad. Rehan, Harry Brook, Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes are the players from the previous test tour of Pakistan.

Currently, England secured sixth position with 8 wins out of sixteen matches while Pakistan went down to seventh position in the WTC points table with only 2 victories in seven matches.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is expected to announce the venues for the series later this week.
