Surrey confirm Kohli deal as India's captain gets licence to warm up for England

[ad_1] Surrey have confirmed the signing of India's captain Virat Kohli for the month of June so ending months of anticipation that he would use the county circuit to warm up for the Test series against England. Kohli will become the fourth Test-eligible Indian player in county cricket this year with fellow batsman Cheteshwar Pujara currently at Yorkshire and seamers Ishant Sharma and Varun Aaron representing Division Two clubs Sussex and Leicestershire respectively. Although there have been a few voices decrying the fact that Surrey have given Kohli useful acclimatisation ahead of India's Test series in the country this summer, the vast majority of followers of England's professional circuit will welcome the additional publicity and status it is bound to bring. Kohli will be available for all Surrey cricket throughout the month, beginning with Royal London Cup 50-over matches against Middlesex - an opening match at Lord's for India's captain - and Glamorgan and thr...

New Zealand women call up Watkin, Bezuidenhout for England tour

[ad_1] Jess Watkin , the 19-year old Central Districts allrounder, and Bernadine Bezuidenhout , the former South African international, have been called up to the New Zealand women squad for their upcoming tour of England and Ireland. The duo was included in a 15-member squad that will play ODIs against England and Ireland, as well as a T20 tri-series featuring New Zealand, England and South Africa. "Jess and Bernadine are tremendous talents with lots of potential," Kirsty Bond, the national selector, said. "They're aggressive players who possess a broad skillset and that allows them to adapt to changing game situations quickly." Watkin, who smashed a 123-ball double-century for Central Districts against Wellington at the National Women's Under-21 tournament in December, has won the Central Hinds' young-player-of-the-year award in successive seasons. "Jess is a special player who we've been keeping an eye on since she debuted domestically in 201...

Northeast finger injury hits England ambitions

[ad_1] Hampshire 41 for 0 v Essex Scorecard Hampshire and Essex could only manage an hour's play before rain stunted progress during the first day of their Specsavers County Championship fixture at the Ageas Bowl. Play was originally delayed by half an hour due to overnight rain, before Essex captain Ryan ten Doeschate asked Hampshire to bat without a toss. Thick grey skies and floodlights overhead hinted at good bowling conditions, but a sand-coloured wicket suggested slightly easier going for the batsmen. And so it proved as Hampshire openers Jimmy Adams and Joe Weatherley navigated the 15 overs bowled with relative comfort. Both struck four boundaries each, with Weatherley particularly strong through the offside. Academy graduate Weatherley, who replaced the injured Sam Northeast in the side, scored 22 in the shorted session, with Adams unbeaten on a patient 19 when play was abandoned soon after 2:30pm. Northeast, a winter recruit from Kent, was forced out of the match having ...

England cement white-ball rise with No.1 ODI ranking

[ad_1] England's burgeoning status as a white-ball team has been confirmed by their ascent to the top of the latest ICC one-day rankings, with India slipping to No.2 on the list. England's ascent to the top spot was cemented by two impressive away victories this winter - they beat Australia 4-1 in January before seeing off New Zealand 3-2 in March. 1. England 125 (+8) 2. India 122 (-1) 3. South Africa 113 (-4) 4. New Zealand 112 (-2) 5. Australia 104 (-8) 6. Pakistan 102 (+6) 7. Bangladesh 93 (+3) 8. Sri Lanka 77 (-7) 9. Windies 69 (-5) 10. Afghanistan 63 (+5) 11. Zimbabwe 55 (+4) 12. Ireland 38 (-3) However, they owe much of their rise to the removal from the permutations of their dismal run of form in 2014-15, when they won just seven out of 25 ODIs and bombed out of the World Cup at the group stages following an infamous defeat against Bangladesh at Adelaide. That 2014-15 season, which also featured the removal of Alastair Cook as ODI captain in the wake of a...

Ball's England form leaves Worcestershire bereft

[ad_1] Nottinghamshire 300 for 9 dec (Taylor 50, Tongue 4-81) beat Worcestershire 110 (Clarke 42, Fletcher 5-27) and 149 (Fell 37, Ball 5-59) by an innings and 41 runs Scorecard It is only seven months these sides were promoted together from Division Two of the County Championship but the gulf in class between them was startling in a one-sided affair that was completed in just five sessions. Worcestershire, who went up as Second Division champions, were routed twice in the equivalent of just two sessions by a high quality attack who made expert use of a slow seaming pitch. Stuart Broad, playing his first match of the season, played his part, surviving a mid-pitch collision with Luke Fletcher along the way, but he was not Worcestershire's chief tormentor. Instead it was Jake Ball , another member of England's Ashes attack, who wrecked their second innings by taking his second five wicket haul of the season. Worcestershire have now lost all three matches since they were promote...
