Blot on Australia's whitewash of West Indies: Tim David fined for umpire dissent
Australia's dominant 5-0 T20I series sweep against the West Indies in St Kitts ended with a minor blemish, as all-rounder Tim David was fined for showing dissent toward an umpire's decision during the final match on July off a stellar IPL season, where he helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru lift their first-ever men's title, David continued his fine form against the West Indies. He emerged as one of Australia's most explosive performers, finishing the series with 132 runs from three innings. Impressively, he remained unbeaten throughout the series and notched up a memorable 102* in the third T20I—his maiden T20I his strong showing, a moment of frustration marred his series. In the fifth over of Australia's innings during the final game, West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph bowled a delivery that strayed down the leg side. David, clearly expecting a wide to be signalled, threw his arms out in protest and walked toward the umpire, continuing to gesture his disagreement. For this, David was found guilty of breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct—specifically Article 2.8, which deals with "showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match." As a result, he was fined 10 per cent of his match fee and received one demerit point, his first such offence in the past 24 admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Reon King of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, avoiding the need for a formal hearing. The charge was brought forward by on-field umpires Zahid Bassarath and Leslie Reifer, with support from third umpire Deighton Butler and fourth umpire Gregory ICC regulations, Level 1 breaches carry a minimum punishment of an official reprimand, and a maximum of a 50 per cent match fee deduction and two demerit 30-run contribution in the final T20I proved vital in Australia's narrow three-wicket win, sealing a clean sweep for Mitchell Marsh's side. The brief moment of dissent aside, it was a composed and productive tour for the 29-year-old, who continues to solidify his role as a dependable middle-order batter in the Australian setup.- Ends

Suryakumar returns to action after surgery with Asia Cup 2025 in sight
India's preparations for the Asia Cup 2025 received a timely boost as T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav resumed batting at the National Cricket Academy's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru in late July. The explosive batter, who had undergone sports hernia surgery earlier this year in Germany, is now steadily progressing towards full fitness under the careful supervision of the BCCI medical team. His return to active cricketing drills signals optimism for India, with the Asia Cup just weeks away and the T20 World Cup 2026 campaign beginning to take shape. Notably, India beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the last edition's final to win their eighth Asia Cup title. Recovery in full swing ahead of Asia Cup Suryakumar, who had publicly shared news of his successful surgery in Munich back in June, has now begun structured training. Reports suggest that his workload will be ramped up significantly in the coming weeks as he builds towards match readiness. If his progress continues without setbacks, the 34-year-old is expected to be match-fit in time for the Asia Cup, which begins on September 9 in the UAE. The Indian squad is likely to assemble and travel in the first week of September, using the tournament as a crucial platform to fine-tune combinations ahead of a busy international calendar. Surya's impressive run as T20I captain Suryakumar assumed T20I captaincy following India's T20 World Cup win in June 2024, after Rohit Sharma stepped down from the shortest format. Despite his recent surgery, Surya had been in prime form prior to the layoff. During IPL 2025, he amassed a staggering 717 runs — the highest ever by a Mumbai Indians player in a single season and a record for most runs by a non-opener in the league's history. He also registered an unprecedented streak of 16 consecutive 25+ scores, setting a global benchmark. ALSO READ: India's T20 transformation Under Suryakumar's leadership, India's T20I side has embraced a more aggressive and flexible batting approach. The team notched multiple 200+ totals, including 297 against Bangladesh in October 2024 — the second-highest score in T20I history. His return offers India both leadership and firepower, just when they need it most.
