Aaron Judge
is back. On Tuesday night, August 6, 2025, New York Yankees star Aaron Judge played as a designated hitter after being out for 10 days with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The Yankees faced the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Aaron Judge batted third but went 0 for 3 in a game the Yankees lost 2-0. He did not play in the outfield, and there is still no exact date for his return to defense. The team wants to be careful with his elbow. Aaron Judge was added to the injured list after an MRI scan showed no major damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, and he had a platelet-rich plasma injection on July 27. The Yankees have not said when he will fully return, but for now, he is only hitting.

'Difficult to say': Sourav Ganguly stirs Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma speculation, backs India as hot favourites for Asia Cup
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Sourav Ganguly (Images via Getty Images) Sourav Ganguly has weighed in on the growing chatter around Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma 's ODI futures, saying the two icons should keep playing as long as they continue to perform at the highest level. Media reports have suggested that the upcoming three-match ODI series in Australia this October could be the final outing in the format for the celebrated duo, who have already played their last matches in T20Is and Tests. The players themselves have so far stayed quiet on whether they are aiming for the 2027 World Cup. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Asked about the speculation, Ganguly maintained he had no official knowledge of such a decision. 'I'm not aware of this, can't comment on this,' he said during an event, as quoted by PTI. However, the former India captain underlined that selection and career longevity should always be driven by performance. 'It's difficult to say. Whoever does well will play. If they do well, they should continue. Kohli's one-day record is phenomenal, even Rohit Sharma's. Both of them are phenomenal in white-ball cricket,' said the former India skipper. India's ODI tour of Australia begins on October 19, with matches in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney. It will be followed by three home ODIs against South Africa in December. The 2026 calendar includes series against New Zealand, Afghanistan, England, the West Indies, and another against New Zealand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 23 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World Undo On the T20 Asia Cup in Dubai starting September 9, Ganguly said India should start as clear favourites after a well-earned break following their five-Test series in England. 'They are in the middle of a break. After the IPL, they played five Tests and now they will play the Asia Cup from September 9. India are very strong, and if they are strong in red-ball cricket, they are even stronger in white-ball cricket. So, in my opinion, India are favourites, and beating them on those good Dubai wickets will be very tough,' he said. Poll Should Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma continue to play ODIs as long as they perform well? Yes, they should continue playing. No, it's time for new players. Ganguly also backed Test skipper Shubman Gill, praising the youngster's leadership qualities. 'He's India's Test captain, and his future is full of promise,' he remarked. The 25-year-old steered India to a thrilling win over England at The Oval in the 5th and final Test of the series to draw the competition 2-2.

Bangladesh Cricket Board makes key appointments, introduces Mymensingh as new first-class team
Bangladesh Cricket Board (IANS Photo) The Bangladesh Cricket Board held a meeting in Dhaka on Saturday where they announced three key appointments. Alex Marshall, Julian Wood, and Tony Hemming have joined the board in different capacities. Julian Wood, who previously worked with Sri Lanka Cricket as a power-hitting specialist, has been appointed as a specialist batting coach for three months. Alex Marshall, former ICC anti-corruption unit general manager, will serve as a consultant for BCB's anti-corruption department for one year. The BCB has also engaged ICC's integrity unit to monitor anti-corruption during the Bangladesh Premier League. This development comes while investigations are ongoing regarding alleged corruption in the 2024-25 BPL and Dhaka Premier League seasons. Tony Hemming, who recently left his position as PCB's head curator, has returned to the BCB. He had earlier worked with the board from July 2023 to July 2024. His appointment has raised questions about Gamini Silva's role, the current curator at Shere Bangla National Stadium. "Tony Hemming has been appointed head of turf management for two years," Rahman said. "All our international venues and curators will be under him. He will also undertake the process of training Bangladeshi curators. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Paras Sector 59 Gurgaon | Paras Floret Low-Rise Flats Paras The Florett Book Now Undo All the board directors had a lot of interest in bringing him back." "Hemming is one of the best curators in the world. Maybe he had a good experience with the BCB in the previous occasion, that's why he agreed to come back. The turf management will run as Hemming will want. Time will tell if Gamini will stay or not. He has been given a 12-month extension." The BCB has also introduced Mymensingh as a new first-class team. They will replace Dhaka Metropolis, which was added in 2011 to maintain an even number of teams in the country's first-class competition. "Mymensingh is one of the country's newest divisions," Rahman said, as quoted from ANI. "They will play in the NCL first-class tournament from the coming season. They will replace Dhaka Metropolis. Mymensingh will play all divisional tournaments though we can't accommodate them in the upcoming NCL T20s as the schedule has been made. Mymensingh will play in the T20 tournament from the next edition." Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
