3 fours in 1 over and OUT: Vaibhav Suryavanshi fails to fire in 1st Youth Test vs England
Vaibhav Suryavanshi NEW DELHI: He arrived with intent, played a few crisp strokes, found the boundary rope early, and was then sent back — that summed up Vaibhav Suryavanshi's outing in the opening match of the Youth Test series against England Under-19s. Coming off a stellar run in the Youth ODIs, the young batter showed flashes of his talent but couldn't turn his promising start into a meaningful score. Walking in with confidence, the right-hander immediately made his presence felt, cracking three boundaries in the very first over — all off England pacer James Minto — briefly putting the hosts under pressure.

But just as he looked to settle, England's Alex Green delivered the breakthrough. Vaibhav was dismissed for 14 off 13 balls — a short but eventful innings marked by three boundaries and a strike rate of 107.69. Caught by Ralphie Albert off Green's bowling, the early dismissal was a setback for the 14-year-old, who had hoped to carry his white-ball momentum into the red-ball format. However, with one innings still potentially to come, Suryavanshi may get another opportunity to make his mark in the longer format. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trieste: AudioNova cerca per un test 700 persone nate prima del 1974 AudioNova Undo India U-19, meanwhile, failed to finish on a high, losing the fifth Youth ODI by seven wickets.

Photo: AFP Former England star Andrew Flintoff has revealed the extent of the mental health struggles he has endured since his horrific car crash on the set of television programme Top Gear. In one of his first interviews since sustaining severe facial injuries in the accident in 2022, Flintoff admitted he initially found it hard to return to public life. The 47-year-old ex-England all-rounder said it took him "10 goes to leave my bedroom" due to anxiety on his first morning as an assistant coach with the national team in 2023. "That day in Cardiff, it took me 10 goes to leave my hotel bedroom. I couldn't get out of the room," he told The Times in an interview with former England captain Mike Atherton. "I was so anxious and worried. I eventually went down to breakfast; sat down and chatted with Reece Topley and then Jos Buttler. "I had to go back to my room to get my baseball mitt and I was waiting for the lift again and heard footsteps. I knew it would be (England captain) Ben Stokes. "I didn't really know him then. I've built a great relationship with him since, but I was anxious about that, standing in the lift with him. "In the dressing room, Joe Root came over, one of the best men you'll ever meet, and everyone made me feel so welcome. "Slowly but surely I started to find my feet. And sitting on the balcony and being pictured. Even the press were nice about me. It's amazing what an accident can do." Flintoff was driving a Morgan Super 3 three-wheeled sports car when it overturned and crashed off of the Top Gear test track during filming. The open-topped car is capable of hitting 130mph and the cricketer wasn't wearing a helmet when it flipped over. Flintoff suffered severe facial injuries and broken ribs in the crash. "It's always going to be there, but in a strange way, I've got an acceptance of it now. I'm not fighting it," he said of the physical and mental scars of the accident. "I still get flashbacks at night and anxiety and other stuff but I know it's happening and I'm accepting of it." Flintoff retired as a player in 2010 aged 31 after playing in 79 Tests between 1998 and 2009. Initially invited to help with England Under-19s after the crash, he was appointed as England Lions head coach in September 2024.

Ethan Nwaneri and an early England call-up: What impact could it have?
England manager Thomas Tuchel has the not-so-easy job of naming a 26-man squad from a longlist of 55 on Friday. As was the case when Gareth Southgate was in charge, the German has incredible talent to choose from, which means much debate regardless of who he selects. Arsenal have two teenagers who are viable options for Tuchel's squad. Myles Lewis-Skelly (18) and Ethan Nwaneri (17) have both impressed this season, but more eyes will be on the latter, given that he plays further forward and his role stepping in for injured talisman Bukayo Saka. Advertisement Nwaneri has been playing right wing for Arsenal in the absence of England regular Saka and has seized the opportunity, scoring eight goals in all competitions this season and developing a reputation as one of Europe's most exciting youngsters. With that has come hope — and possibly expectation — from some corners that a senior England call-up will be his reward. If Tuchel picks Nwaneri, it puts him in line to become England's seventh-youngest player ever, with his 18th birthday falling on March 21, the day the national team hosts Albania at Wembley for a World Cup qualifier. Time is on his side either way. Nwaneri's readiness has never seemed in question — his quality is clear and his form is as strong as any England regular — but his 28 first-team appearances this season are more than were expected. Saka's hamstring injury has helped him start nine of Arsenal's 16 games in 2025, despite recovering from a muscular injury of his own in January. That has resulted in 1,077 minutes in all competitions this season, with two matches still to play before the upcoming international break. From an international standpoint, Nwaneri's most recent move up through the age groups came last September when he played made his England Under-19s debut. He has played nine games at that level this season, scoring six goals. He has also captained the side three times across two camps in October and November. For the under-17s, he played at two European Championships and a World Cup. GO DEEPER What sort of football will Thomas Tuchel's England play? Nwaneri's club success at such a young age, including the possibility of him becoming an England player, puts him in the conversation with Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney, whose joint record of nine goals scored for a Premier League club before turning 18 is under threat. However, their early England progress differed, and it's difficult to use either one as a blueprint for Nwaneri stepping up. Advertisement Rooney became England's youngest-ever player at 17 years, three months and 19 days when he came off the bench against Australia in March 2003. By that point, he had played almost an entire season of Premier League football and had made just one England Under-19 appearance, which came before his 17th birthday six months earlier. Owen's exposure was slightly more gradual. He played seven games for England Under-18s before his Liverpool debut, and four games at the 1997 under-20 World Cup a month after his first Liverpool appearances. He made one under-21 appearance days after turning 18 in December 1997, then made his full England debut in February 1998 before winning the Premier League Golden Boot. Saka was similar to Owen, making just one England Under-21 appearance aged 18 in September 2020 before joining the senior squad in their next camp. Gareth Southgate viewed Saka more as an attacking player than a wing-back, which was the role he had to play at club level back then. It was a case of when, not if, with Saka — and it feels the same with Nwaneri. There is precedent for youngsters to skip the under-21s. Rooney did it. Kobbie Mainoo and Jadon Sancho are more recent examples — they both jumped up straight from the under-19s. Mainoo's senior England debut came in the March international break of last year, a month before his 19th birthday. That set him up nicely to make the summer's Euro 2024 squad and play a key role in the tournament, but this season he has missed out on camps due to muscular injuries. With no major tournament this year, Tuchel should not be in a rush. Like at club level, timing and opportunity could work in Nwaneri's favour with Saka still out injured, but there could also be a question of what position Tuchel would want to use him in. If the England manager deems Nwaneri ready and suited for the upcoming internationals against Albania and Latvia, great. If not, he will be on Tuchel's radar for future camps.
