England penalised for slow over rate in India T20I
Nottingham, June 29 (UNI) England were ruled two overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration.
England had elected to field first in the T20I played in Nottingham, and ended up conceding 210/5 courtesy a brilliant maiden century from Smriti Mandhana.
In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of
their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.
On-field umpires Jacqueline Williams and James Middlebrook, third umpire Sue Redfern, and
fourth umpire Anna Harris leveled the charge, which was accepted by England captain
Nat Sciver-Brunt.
Sciver-Brunt also accepted the proposed sanctions which meant that there was no need for a
formal hearing, according to an ICC report.
Helen Pack of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees imposed the sanction.
England lost the first T20I by 97 runs, which was their heaviest-ever loss in the format. The 2nd
T20I between the two sides will take place on July 1 in Bristol.

Azhar Mahmood named new Pakistan red-ball head coach
Karachi, June 30 (UNI) Pakistan have announced former all-rounder Azhar Mahmood as their new acting red-ball head coach. Azhar steps into the new role following a long stint as bowling coach and assistant head coach of Pakistan's men's side and will serve in this position until the conclusion of his current contract. Pakistan are confident Azhar can thrive in the role given his expertise as a player and coach prior. "A seasoned cricketing mind, Azhar Mahmood steps into the role with an impressive portfolio of experience," Pakistan said via a release. "Having served as the assistant head coach of the national side, Azhar has long been a pivotal part of the team's strategic core. His deep knowledge of the game, combined with hands-on international exposure and proven success in the English county circuit, make him exceptionally well-suited for this position. "His red-ball pedigree is underscored by two County Championship titles—an achievement that speaks volumes about his leadership, tactical acumen and unwavering commitment to excellence. "The PCB is confident that under Azhar's guidance, the red-ball squad will continue to grow in strength, discipline and performance on the global stage." Former fast bowler and 1992 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup winner Aaqib Javed had been fulfilling the role as red-ball coach following the departure of Australian Jason Gillespie towards the end of last year. Mahmood's first task will be readying the side for their upcoming assignment for the new ICC World Test Championship cycle, which is scheduled to be when South Africa visit Pakistan for a two-match series later this year.

Former England captain Joe Root is also eyeing a never-before-achieved feat. read more The second Test between India and England at Edgbaston is expected to be an exciting contest. India are currently 1-0 down in the five-match series and will be eager to bounce back in Birmingham to keep their hopes alive of creating history. India have not won a Test series in England since 2007, and this year the challenge is even tougher due to the ongoing transition within the team. However, this Indian side, under the leadership of Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir, showed glimpses of its talent and skill in the first Test. A total of five centuries were scored by Indian batters as they kept England under immense pressure throughout the match. But the bowlers and fielders let the team down in the final innings, failing to defend 371 runs and eventually losing by five wickets. The lower-order batting is another major concern that India will look to address in this series.

Bumrah currently has 10 five-wicket hauls across South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. Jaiswal could create history with fastest 2000 runs Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a strong start to his Test career. He already has 1903 runs in just 20 matches.

Gill may equal Kohli and Azhar's record Shubman Gill scored a brilliant century in the first Test at Headingley. It was also his first match as captain of the Test side.
