I had wondered how Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman and Harbhajan Singh got into that side in 1998!  ?

 

Agreed they need to show intent and on the surface it sounds like they are finally singing from the same hymn sheet but we shall see. Certainly it would benefit the wider game but the most powerful nations are not known for their lack of selfishness.

Bhajji and Laxman were yet not the stars they became after THE 2001 Series. So, basically they sent top 2 stars, Sachin Kumble to please the public but sent half of main team for the all important Friendship Cup in Toronto.

A certain team crowdfunded their tour for World Women's T20 World Cup Qualifiers. While ICC covers some, those like jerseys kits physios etc aren't. That crowdfunded team made of locals beat one

There was a simultaneous tournament to be played in Toronto against Pakistan which was the Sahara Cup, a 5 ODI series. BCCI actually held an intra-team match to decide which players would go where. The losers would play in CWG while the winners would go to Canada. Unfortunately, India failed miserably in both; lost 4-1 in Toronto and couldn't qualify for the quarters finishing behind Antigua and Barbuda in the group

:PAK :SRI :WIS have regularly been part of the Women's world cups. But I won't be so sure this time around that it'll be the same. At least 4 others :ZIM :BAN :IRL :THA have got their chances to qualify too. Pakistan may be safe and to some extent (not completely) West Indies. The 3rd is for anyone's to grab.

:IRL going to a rough patch loosing to B team of :USA And still managing to win ODI Series against full strength  :WIS . Surely Windies are no longer there up-to the standards of  top 10 of world cricket especially after a pretty dissapointing T20 WC.

:SRI beat the :AUS In U19 WC 2022. Could be their first quarter final  in a long time now (6 years) 

More results :

 

 

Defending champions :BAN Were awful against :ENG.

 

:UAE and with some luck :CAN could try to grab the other sport from :BAN with England expected to qualify easily.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
