WI vs PAK | 3rd T20I: When & where to watch match LIVE, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

West Indies and Pakistan will lock horns in the third T20I of the four-match series in Guyana. The first encounter of the series was washed away by the rain in Barbados.

He had suffered a blow on his head during a practice session. “Azam Khan has been ruled out of the second and third T20Is against West Indies after sustaining a head injury during the scheduled training session,” a PCB statement said. “A neurosurgeon has recommended an observation period of 24 hours. He will then be reassessed on Monday," it added. West Indies are in some good form as far as the T20I format is concerned. They thumped Australia 4-1 in the five-match series earlier at home. Pakistan on the other side suffered a defeat at the hands of England away from home.

Salem Spartans vs Ruby Trichy Warriors: When & where to watch match LIVE, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

In the first match of the double-header Sunday, Salem Spartans will be up against Ruby Trichy Warriors in Chennai. Warriors are in some decent form at the moment having won three out of the five matches that they have played. They in fact rode on some fine bowling performance in the last match against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans to restrict them to 110/8 in 20 overs and then clinch a victory by 7 wickets. Nidhish Rajagopal And Adithya Ganesh were among some runs and the two players anchored the side to a win in the 18th over. Spartans on the other side have suffered defeats in the two matches out of the four they have played. The Daryl Ferrario-led side witnessed a batting collapse against Dindigul Dragons after they were bundled out for 109 while chasing 186. While the Ruby Trichy side would look to continue their form, Spartans would want their batting attack to go all guns blazing.

The ECB has held meetings to discuss provisional plans with the England team and the Team England Player Partnership, the board in a joint statement with the Professional Cricketers’ Association said. “All parties are collaborating and will continue to work together to understand protocols around bubble environments, family provision and quarantine rules that will be in place for the tour during the current COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement said. “With player and management’s welfare paramount, the ECB will discuss planning and operational requirements with Cricket Australia in the coming weeks and how they seek to implement their policies in partnership with state and federal governments,” it added.

Herschelle Gibbs slams BCCI for 'preventing' him from playing Kashmir Premier League

Former South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs has said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is trying all possible ways to prevent him from playing in the Kashmir Premier league. Gibbs has taken a dig at the Indian board and said that it is unnecessary of the BCCI to bring in the political agenda. “Completely unnecessary of the @BCCI to bring their political agenda with Pakistan into the equation and trying to prevent me playing in the @kpl_20. Also threatening me saying they won’t allow me entry into India for any cricket related work. Ludicrous.” Former Pakistan player Rashid Latif had earlier made some similar allegations. “The @BCCI warning cricket boards that if their former players took part in Kashmir Premier League, they won’t be allowed entry in India or allowed to work in Indian cricket at any level or in any capacity. Gibbs, Dilshan, @MontyPanesar & several others have been selected in KPL.” The Kashmir Premier League will feature six teams, Overseas Warriors, Muzaffarabad Tigers, Rawalakot Hawks, Bagh Stallions, Mirpur Royals and Kotli Lions. Imad Wasim, Mohammad Hafeez, Shahid Afridi, Shadab Khan, Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal have been named as the captains of their respective teams. Apart from this, Matt Prior, Dilshan, Monty Panesar are some of the prominent players who would feature in the tournament.
