Team captains and key players
Sri Lanka Women, led by Chamari Attapaththu, will feature a strong squad with talents like Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, and Inoka Ranaweera. Although Attapaththu's recent form has been patchy, Sri Lanka remains a formidable side at home.
India Women, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, will enter the Tri-Series as firm favorites. The side also has Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia, and Arundhati Reddy who will play pivotal roles.
South Africa Women, under Laura Wolvaardt's leadership, are seen as the underdogs. While players like Tazmin Brits, Annerie Dercksen, and Chloe Tryon offer quality, they will need a strong collective effort to get victories.

Pakistan cricket: Gary Kirsten reveals reasons for early exit as coach, says 'I'm too old for other agendas'
Gary Kirsten (X Photo) Gary Kirsten has opened up about his abrupt departure as Pakistan's white-ball coach, blaming internal power struggles and a lack of authority for his decision to step down just six months into the job. Speaking on the Wisden Cricket Patreon podcast, the former South Africa opener and World Cup-winning coach detailed how he quickly realised his influence within the Pakistan setup was limited. 'It was a tumultuous few months. I realised quite quickly I wasn't going to have much of an influence,' Kirsten said. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Appointed in April 2024, alongside Jason Gillespie for the red-ball role, Kirsten parted ways with the team in October, a day after Pakistan announced squads for their tours of Australia and Zimbabwe — selections he had no role in shaping. Poll Should cricket teams be managed exclusively by cricket professionals? Absolutely Partially, with some outside input Not really No, they should be managed by anyone qualified 'Once I was taken off selection and asked to take a team and not be able to shape the team, it became very difficult as a coach then to have any sort of positive influence on the group,' he explained. Kirsten's comments also highlighted a larger dysfunction within Pakistan cricket, with both he and Gillespie excluded from the revamped five-member selection committee. Gillespie later quit, citing the controversial sacking of high-performance coach Tim Nielsen as a trigger. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo 'The Sun is on us': Temba Bavuma soaks it in Despite the setbacks, Kirsten left the door open for a return under better conditions. 'If I got invited back to Pakistan tomorrow, I would go… under the right circumstances,' he said. 'Cricket teams need to be run by cricket people. When there's a lot of outside noise — very influential noise — it's very difficult for leaders within the team.' He concluded, 'I'm too old now to be dealing with other agendas. I just want to coach a cricket team, work with the players — and Pakistan's players are fantastic.'

New India Test skipper Shubman Gill outlines the lessons he took away playing under predecessors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli
Indian's new Test captain Shubman Gill credited Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for the experience he gained under the veterans as his new-look Team India look to take on England in a 5-match Test series, scheduled to begin on June 20. Gill was appointed the Test skipper after Rohit retired from the format last month. This was also followed by Kohli hanging up his boots from Tests as well. 'It can seem like he is not aggressive, but Rohit is very aggressive in terms of his tactics. He is someone who is very clear with his communication prior to the matches, during the series and even after the series, what he wants from the players,' Gill said to SkySports. 'The kind of environment Rohit bhai kept, even if Rohit bhai is swearing at you, you would not take it to your heart. That's just kind of his personality. I think that's a great trait to have. He's firm, but even if he's being hard on you, you know that it's not coming from his heart. It's coming from a team perspective,' he added. The 25-year-old said he had a conversation with Rohit on the road ahead for the team. 'This is a conversation that I've had with Rohit bhai a couple of times that ideally in the next 5, 7 or 10 or 15 years, where would we want the Indian cricket team culture to be?' He also said he learned so much from the 'proactive' leadership of Virat Kohli. 'When I played under Virat, I think his proactiveness in Test matches with the field or with the ideas or with his thinking was something that I liked and that I picked up. If he thinks that, okay, this plan is not working, he would immediately have another plan, communicate to the bowler what he wants from them,' he noted.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Guide: Everything you need to know about football's all new event
FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Guide: The new tournament in the footballing calendar, the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup kicked off in earnest on Sunday in the USA with a goalless draw between Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Egypt's Al Ahly. FIFA hopes the four-yearly event will be to club football what the World Cup is to international soccer and establish itself as one of the biggest and wealthiest tournaments in sport. But the tournament had already faced backlash with players and coaches alike, lambasting it as a soul-less cash grab in an already congested football calendar which is detrimental to players' performance and health. The new Club World Cup is a supersized version of what used to be a short tournament with only seven teams. The new edition includes 32 teams from around the world and will be held every four years, starting next summer in the United States from June 14 to July 13. As its name suggests, it's envisioned to be club version of the World Cup for national teams. That means top players will have a monthlong tournament on top of their domestic league season three out of every four years. With more games also added to the Champions League in Europe this season as well as the next World Cup in 2026, the calendar is filling up quickly. The Club World Cup has been expanded from seven teams to 32 and will emulate the men's and women's World Cups. Eight groups of four teams will play in a round robin mini league, with the top two advancing to a knockout stage, which runs from the round of 16 through to the final. Group A: Al Ahly (Egypt), Porto (Portugal), Palmeiras (Brazil), Inter Miami (United States) Group B: Paris Saint-Germain (France), Atlético Madrid (Spain), Botafogo (Brazil), Seattle Sounders (United States) Group C: Bayern Munich (Germany), Auckland City (New Zealand), Boca Juniors (Argentina), Benfica (Portugal) Group D: Flamengo (Brazil), Espérance Sportive de Tunis (Tunisia), Chelsea (England), LAFC (United States) Group E: River Plate (Argentina), Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan), Monterrey (Mexico), Inter Milan (Italy) Group F: Fluminense (Brazil), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), Ulsan HD (Republic of Korea), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) Group G: Manchester City (England), Wydad AC (Morocco), Al Ain (United Arab Emirates), Juventus (Italy) Group H: Real Madrid (Spain), Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia), Pachuca (Mexico), Red Bull Salzburg (Austria) Group stage Sunday, June 15 Al Ahly vs Inter Miami – 5:30 AM Bayern Munich vs Auckland City – 9:30 PM Monday, June 16 Paris Saint-Germain vs Atlético Madrid – 12:30 AM Palmeiras vs Porto – 3:30 AM Botafogo vs Seattle Sounders – 7:30 AM Tuesday, June 17 Chelsea vs. LAFC – 12:30 AM Boca Juniors vs Benfica – 3:30 AM Flamengo vs Espérance Sportive de Tunis – 6:30 AM Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund – 9:30 PM Wednesday, June 18 River Plate vs Urawa Red Diamonds – 12:30 AM Ulsan HD vs Mamelodi Sundowns – 3:30 AM Monterrey vs Inter Milan – 6:30 AM Manchester City vs Wydad AC – 9:30 PM Thursday, June 19 Real Madrid vs Al-Hilal – 12:30 AM Pachuca vs Red Bull Salzburg – 3:30 AM Al Ain vs Juventus – 6:30 AM Palmeiras vs Al Ahly Friday, June 20 Inter Miami vs Porto – 12:30 AM Seattle Sounders vs Atlético Madrid – 3:30 AM Paris Saint-Germain vs Botafogo – 6:30 AM Benfica vs Auckland City – 9:30 PM Flamengo vs Chelsea – 11:30 PM Saturday, June 21 LAFC vs Espérance Sportive de Tunis – 3:30 AM Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors – 6:30 AM Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund – 9:30 PM Sunday, June 22 Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Diamonds – 12:30 AM Fluminense vs Ulsan HD – 3:30 AM River Plate vs Monterrey – 6:30 AM Juventus vs Wydad AC – 9:30 PM Monday, June 23 Real Madrid vs Pachuca – 12:30 AM Red Bull Salzburg vs Al-Hilal – 3:30 AM Manchester City vs Al Ain – 6:30 AM Tuesday, June 24 Seattle Sounders vs Paris Saint-Germain – 12:30 AM Atlético Madrid vs Botafogo – 12:30 AM Inter Miami vs Palmeiras – 6:30 AM Porto vs Al Ahly – 6:30 AM Wednesday, June 25 Auckland City vs Boca Juniors – 12:30 AM Benfica vs Bayern Munich – 12:30 AM LAFC vs Flamengo – 6:30 AM Group D: Espérance Sportive de Tunis vs Chelsea – 6:30 AM Thursday, June 26 Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD – 12:30 AM Mamelodi Sundowns vs Fluminense – 12:30 AM Inter Milan vs River Plate – 6:30 AM Urawa Red Diamonds vs Monterrey – 6:30 AM Friday, June 27 Juventus vs Manchester City – 12:30 AM Wydad AC vs Al Ain – 12:30 AM Al-Hilal vs Pachuca – 6:30 AM Red Bull Salzburg vs Real Madrid – 6:30 AM Knockout stage Saturday, June 28 Winner of Group A vs Runner-up Group B – 9:30 PM Sunday, June 29 Winner of Group C vs Runner-up Group D – 1:30 AM Winner of Group E vs Runner-up Group F – 9:30 PM Monday, June 30 Winner Group G vs Runner-up Group H – 1:30 AM Tuesday, July 1 Winner Group B vs Runner-up Group A – 12:30 AM Winner Group D vs Runner-up Group C – 6:30 AM Wednesday, July 2 Winner Group F vs Runner-up Group E – 12:30 AM Winner Group H vs Runner-up Group G – 6:30 AM Saturday, July 5 Quarter-final 1 – 12:30 AM Quarter-final 2 – 6:30 AM Quarter-final 3 – 9:30 PM Sunday, July 6 Quarter-final 4 – 1:30 AM Wednesday, July 9 Semi-final 1 – 12:30 AM Thursday, July 10 Semi-final 1 – 12:30 AM Monday, July 14 Final – 12:30 AM With a total prize fund of $1 billion, the winner of the Club World Cup could earn $125 million. FIFA said in March that it had allocated $525 million in guaranteed fees for teams taking part. That ranges from $38.19 million to the top-ranked European team to $3.58 million for the representative from Oceania, Auckland City. A further $475 million is earned by results in the 63 games, with $2 million paid for winning group stage games, $7.5 million for playing in the round of 16 and $40 million to the team that wins the final.
