'Administrators Are Brought In To...': Sunil Gavaskar Slams ECB For Snubbing Sachin Tendulkar, James Anderson In Trophy Presentation Of IND vs ENG Test Series
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticised the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for not inviting Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson to present the trophy named after them, after the end of India vs 2025 England Test series. The newly minted Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series played between India and England ended in a 2-2 draw. However, neither Tendulkar nor Anderson were present during the trophy presentation ceremony despite both being in England at that time. The 76-year-old Gavaskar questioned ECB's conduct and drew parallels to what happened earlier in the year in Australia, where he was not included in the presentation ceremony and it was just Allan Border who presented the trophy at the end of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. "This was the first-ever series named after Sachin Tendulkar and Jimmy Anderson, two of cricket's greatest legends. One would have expected both to be present to hand the trophy to the two captains, especially since the series ended in a draw," Gavaskar wrote in his column in the Sportstar. "To the best of one's knowledge, both were in England at the time. So, were they simply not invited? Or was this similar to what happened in Australia earlier this year, when only Allan Border was asked to present the Border-Gavaskar Trophy because Australia had won the series? Since this England series was drawn, perhaps neither was asked to attend the presentation," he added. The legendary batter was also not pleased with the practice of giving the newly instated Pataudi medal to the winning captain of the series instead of the player of the series. Notably, India captain Shubman Gill and England skipper Ben Stokes were both given a medal each with the series drawn 2-2. "Mostly around the world, administrators are brought in to ensure profits and are quite good at it, but they may not have much knowledge about the history of the sport they are presiding over. So, these little gestures are not in their scheme of things. Nobody from the Pataudi family was there either, for the Pataudi Medal, which was to be presented to the winning team's captain," Gavaskar wrote. "The drawn series showed how foolish this idea was of trying to make amends to the Pataudis by retiring the trophy named after them. Every time the series is drawn, the medal can't be presented, can it? Wouldn't it be better, therefore, to award the medal to the Man of the Series rather than the winning team's captain? And what if the captain himself had an ordinary series and little impact on the result? If there had been a result and the Pataudi Medal had to be given to the Man of the Series, it would have been a tough choice, for both skippers were simply outstanding," he added.

Team India captain Shubman Gill gets MASSIVE honour after success on England Test tour, he has been…
Shubman Gill has been picked as ICC Player of the Month of July 2025. (Photo: ANI) Team India skipper Shubman Gill is enjoying a golden run at the moment – first as a batter and then as a captain. Gill ended up as the leading run-getter in the five-match Test series against England – his maiden one as Test captain – scoring 754 runs in them. He became the Indian captain with the most runs in a Test series, surpassing the great Sunil Gavaskar and just missed out on the record of legendary Sir Donald Bradman. Gill then led India to a remarkable six-run win over England in the fifth and final Test at the Oval in London earlier to this month to level the series at 2-2 and share the 'Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy' with England captain Ben Stokes. Gill's remarkable last month with Team meant that the Indian captain and England batter Sophia Dunkley have been declared the ICC men's and women's Players of the Month for July 2025 following an elaborate process that included votes from an esteemed selection panel as well as those of fans worldwide. Setting new standards with the bat 👌 Capping off an incredible summer in whites is the ICC Men's Player of the Month for July 2025 🌟 — ICC (@ICC) August 12, 2025 Shubman Gill creates a new ICC record Gill became the first male player to win the 'Player of the Month' award four times after a stupendous run in England saw him score 567 runs at an average of 94.50 in the three Tests played in July. His previous ICC Player of the Month awards were in January 2023, September 2023 and February 2025. Two women players – Ash Gardner and Hayley Matthews – have won the award four times each. The highlight for Gill during this period was his aggregate of 430 runs in the second Test in Birmingham, the second highest ever in a Test match. His scores of 269 and 161 in that Test helped level the series 1-1 and he also chipped in with a useful 103 in the second innings of the fourth Test in Manchester that helped draw the match and keep the series alive. The Indian skipper, who won the award ahead of his England counterpart Ben Stokes and South Africa all-rounder Wiaan Mulder, said he was hoping to continue his good form in the season ahead. Gill ended up with 4 hundreds in the series and an average of 75.4 with a career-best score of 269 in the second Test at Edgbaston. 'It feels great to be named the ICC Player of the Month for July. This time it holds a lot more significance since it has come for my performances during my first Test series as captain,' Gill was quoted as saying by the ICC. 'The double ton in Birmingham is obviously something I will cherish forever and will be one of the highlights of my tour to England. The Test series against England was a learning experience for me as captain and we had some outstanding performances from both sides, which I am sure players from both sides will remember for a long time,' the Indian captain added. 'I would like to thank the jury for selecting me for this award and my teammates who have been with me during the course of this exciting series. I look forward to continuing my form in the season ahead and bring more laurels for the country.' Sophia Dunkley edges out Sophie Ecclestone England batter Dunkley edged her team-mate Sophie Ecclestone and Ireland captain Gaby Lewis for the award, showing a fine run during this period in ODIs as well as T20Is. She played in all seven matches at home against India across the two formats, aggregating 126 runs in three ODIs and 144 runs at a strike-rate of 134.57 in four T20Is. Dunkley was England's leading scorer in the T20I series and smashed a superb 92-ball 83 in the first ODI in Southampton. 'I am delighted to win the ICC Player of the Month award off the back of a really hard-fought series against India,' Dunkley said. 'We would have loved to have won the series, but I think we'll take a lot from it moving towards the ICC Women's World Cup. India deserved their win, and it was a great series to be a part of.'

AB de Villiers calls out 9 IPL teams that ignored Dewald Brevis after 'Baby AB' blasts outrageous 41-ball century
Dewald Brevis lit up the Marrara Cricket Ground on Tuesday with the second-fastest T20I century by a South African as he dismantled the Australian bowling line-up in the second T20I. The swashbuckling batter smashed a 41-ball century to help South Africa post a mammoth 218/7 score in 20 overs after they were asked to bat first. Brevis went all guns blazing on the Aussie bowlers, who looked clueless about how to stop the carnage that the South African youngster produced in Darwin. Dewald Brevis smashed a 41-ball century against Australia in the 2nd ODI.(AFP) He remained unbeaten and smashed 125 runs off 56 balls, while his knock was embellished with 12 fours and 8 sixes. On a surface where other Proteas batters struggled to get going, Brevis made batting look a cakewalk with his ferocious knock. He brought up his maiden fifty in the 12th over with a maximum and didn't stop after that, and converted it into a triple-digit score at a rapid pace. His incredible batting also drew the attention of his idol, AB de Villiers, who heaped praise on him and said the IPL teams missed a golden chance to sign him, while Chennai Super Kings either got luckyor hit the biggest master stroke to sign him as an injury replacement in the middle of the season. 'There was such a golden opportunity for IPL teams to pick up Dewald Brevis at the auction! Missed out badly. CSK either got very lucky, or maybe the biggest master stroke ever. The boy can play @BrevisDewald,' De Villiers wrote on X. The Proteas sensation joined CSK in the second half of the season and instantly became the fan favourite with a couple of crucial knocks. He smashed 225 runs in 6 matches at a strike rate of 180.00, which included a couple of half-centuries. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, he registered the highest individual score for South Africa in the shortest format. Highest individual scores in T20Is 125* - Dewald Brevis vs Aus Darwin 2025 119 - Faf du Plessis vs WI Joburg 2015 117* - Richard Levi vs NZ Hamilton 2012 117 - Reeza Hendricks vs Pak Centurion 2024 114* - Morne van Wyk vs WI Durban 2015 He shared a 126-run stand with Tristan Stubbs for the fourth wicket, in which the Delhi Capitals star didn't mind playing the second fiddle and scored 31 runs off 22 balls. Ben Dwarshuis was the pick of the bowlers for South Africa with two wickets for 24 runs in his four overs.
