Adil Rashid Overtakes Graeme Swann To Break All-Time Record For England
England spinner Adil Rashid surpasses the legendary Graeme Swann to grab the most international wickets by an England spin bowler. Swann had 410 wickets to his name, while Rashid, after taking four wickets in his outing against the West Indies in the second ODI of the three-match series on Sunday, now has 412 wickets. In his ten-over spell, Rashid removed Brandon King 59 (67), Shimron Hetmyer 4 (4), Gudakesh Motie 18 (9), and Alzarri Joseph 10 (3), while giving away 63 runs at an economy of 6.30 in the first innings. This was the 12th instance of the Englishman taking four-plus wickets in ODI cricket, as the Windies were bowled out for 308 in 47.4 overs. Rashid played 294 matches to achieve this feat. He has an average of 30.94 across all formats and an economy rate of 5.45, with his best figures of 5/27 against Ireland. In 151 ODIs, the star spinner has raced to 221 wickets at an average of 32.44. His economy rate reads 5.65. With 131 scalps, Rashid is the highest wicket-taker for England in T20Is. Keacy Carty benefited from England's profligacy in the field to make an excellent century. Still, the West Indies collapsed from 205 for two to 308 all out in the second one-day international at Sophia Gardens. Carty was put down on one and 41 and also survived a couple of run-out chances to make 103 off 105 balls, but England fought back following his departure as they look to wrap up a first ODI series win since September 2023. England Squad: Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, Joe Root, Harry Brook(c), Jos Buttler(w), Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Tom Banton, Tom Hartley, Luke Wood. West Indies Squad: Brandon King, Justin Greaves, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope(w/c), Jewel Andrew, Amir Jangoo, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Shamar Joseph, Jediah Blades.

Ton-up Carty takes West Indies to 308 all out against England
KEACY Carty hit his third hundred in four innings as the West Indies fought to keep the one-day international series with England alive. Carty top-scored with 103 in a total of 308 all out after the West Indies were sent in to bat in Cardiff on Sunday. It was a much improved display from the West Indies, dismissed for 162 in a crushing 238-run defeat at Edgbaston on Thursday in the first of a three-match contest. England, by contrast, were not as sharp with the ball in hand or in the field as they had been in Birmingham, with Carty missed on one and 41 in two of four dropped catches in the innings. But England did fight back after the tourists threatened a truly huge total at 205-2, with veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid taking 4-63 and paceman Saqib Mahmood two wickets in two balls on his way to 3-37 as the West Indies were dismissed with 14 balls remaining. Carty and Brandon King (59) shared a second-wicket stand of 141 in 24 overs following the loss of teenage opener Jewel Andrew for a duck before West Indies captain Shai Hope, last man out, made 78. England made a breakthrough soon after captain Harry Brook won the toss on a green-tinged pitch, with the 18-year-old Andrew spooning a rising Brydon Carse delivery to short point. But Ben Duckett then dropped two slip catches, both off the unfortunate Carse, to reprieve Carty and King, then on 11. Carty, fresh from two ODI hundreds against Ireland just before this series, was also dropped on 41 by Mahmood at short backward square leg off left-arm spinner Jacob Bethell. But a productive partnership was finally broken when King drove Rashid to long-off. Carty completed his fourth career ODI hundred when he late cut Bethell for a 13th four in 102 balls faced. But he was out soon afterwards when stumped by Jos Buttler off part-time spinner Will Jacks. And 205-3 became 212-4 when Rashid had Shimron Hetmyer lbw with a well-flighted ball that spun back into the left-hander. Hope bolstered the total with a 53-ball fifty, reaching the landmark in style when he drove paceman Matthew Potts, in for the injured Jamie Overton, over long-on for six. Mahmood then had the big-hitting Matthew Forde (one) well caught by the back-pedalling Brook at mid-off before Roston Chase edged behind next ball to leave the West Indies 268-7 in the 45th over. Hope was then missed on 73 when Joe Root put down a simple chance at long-on off Rashid, only for the former captain to make no mistake next ball as Motie holed out for a breezy 18 featuring four fours. New batsman Alzarri Joseph took West Indies to 300 with a first-ball six off Rashid, who bowled him two balls later before Hope holed out off Mahmood to end the innings.

Chinese medical team in Tanzania's Zanzibar performs first CT-guided lung biopsy
DAR ES SALAAM, May 31 (Xinhua) -- The 34th batch of the Chinese medical team in Tanzania's Zanzibar has successfully conducted the region's first-ever CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy, marking a significant milestone in local medical advancement. The groundbreaking procedure represents a major leap forward in the precision diagnosis of respiratory diseases in Zanzibar, said Khalid Msabah Rashid, director of logistics at Zanzibar's Ministry of Health and liaison officer to the Chinese medical team, adding that it also underscores the growing impact of Chinese medical teams in enhancing healthcare capabilities across the region. "This is the first operation of its kind in Zanzibar's history," Rashid said. "We are deeply impressed by the professionalism and technical expertise shown by the Chinese doctors. This is not only a medical breakthrough, but also a vivid symbol of the enduring friendship between the two sides." The operation was led by Chen Wei, a specialist in respiratory and critical care medicine and head of the Chinese medical team. He was joined by imaging expert Zhang Jiandong and supported by local medical staff. Using real-time CT imaging, the team precisely guided a needle into the patient's lung to extract tissue samples from a suspicious lesion, laying the groundwork for accurate pathological diagnosis and subsequent treatment, said Chen. "This landmark surgery is part of broader Africa-China health cooperation efforts," Rashid added.

Rashid Khan goes at top of unwated list; Sai Sudharsan becomes second to achieve elusive feat
Mullanpur (Punjab) [India], May 30 (ANI): Gujarat Titans premier spinner Rashid Khan's run in the IPL 2025 found a new low while his compatriot Sai Sudharsan etched his name into the history book with another sizzling performance with the bat during GT's Eliminator clash against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 on Friday. It was another forgettable outing for the Afghanistan ball tweaker, who got clobbered around the Mullanpur venue. He found reprieve in his flawless fielding display, but had nowhere to hide when he was tasked to find the breakthrough for Gujarat. Rohit clubbed two towering maximums off Rashid, which took his overall tally to 33 sixes, the highest a player has conceded in the cash-rich league's history. He occupied the top of the unwanted record by surpassing Mohammed Siraj's tally of 31. While Rashid's woes with the ball extended, Sudharsan became just the second batter to aggregate 700-plus in an IPL edition before turning 24, after Titans captain Shubman Gill, who achieved the feat in 2023 after tallying 890 runs. Sudharsan kept Gujarat alive in their pursuit of Mumbai's daunting 229-run target. GT had lost Gill early, and Kusal Perera dragging his feet into the stumps added to their rising agony. But the 23-year-old stayed firm in his resolve and continued his boundary-scoring adventures to take the pressure off Gujarat's shoulders. He raised an 84-run stand with Washington Sundar to help Gujarat take the game down the wire. His exploits ended on 80 from 49 deliveries after he tried to shuffle across the crease and attempt a scoop shot on Richard Gleeson's low full toss in the 16th over. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav, who dazzled at the crease with his exuberant 33 from 20, extended his lead for the most 25-plus consecutive scores in T20s. He surpassed South Africa captain Temba Bavuma's record of 13 in Mumbai's last fixture against Punjab Kings and now boasts 15 successive 25-plus T20 scores. (ANI)

Rashid Khan Picks Virat Kohli As His Favourite Batter, Bumrah As Favourite Bowler
Last Updated: Rashid Khan is one of the greatest bowlers of all time. The 26-year-old spinner from Afghanistan has 643 wickets to his name in 476 T20 matches played so far. Star Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan is one of the greatest bowlers of all time. He holds the record for taking the most wickets in T20s. During a recent interaction with kids, the video of which is going viral on the internet, Rashid was asked about his favourite batter, bowler and all-rounder, and in reply he mentioned Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya's names. Kohli is the all-time leading run getter in IPL history and also has more than 27,000 runs to his name in international cricket, whereas Bumrah has played a big role in India and the Mumbai Indians' success over the years. Rashid Khan picked:– Virat Kohli as his favourite batter.– Jasprit Bumrah as his favourite bowler.– Hardik Pandya as his favourite All Rounder. — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) May 29, 2025 The 31-year-old fast bowler from Ahmedabad has played a total of 204 matches for India in international cricket across formats and has 443 wickets to his name. He played a big role in India's T20 World Cup title win last year and, for his superb bowling performances, won the Player of the Tournament award as well. Hardik, on the other hand, has played alongside Rashid for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022 and 2023. The duo helped the Ahmedabad-based franchise win the IPL title in 2022 and finished as runner-up in the next season. Rashid, who will be seen in action for Gujarat Titans on Friday (May 30) against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 eliminator match in Mullanpur, has been horribly out of form in the world's richest franchise cricket league this year. In 14 matches played so far, he has only picked up nine wickets. His performance with the ball has been a cause of concern for the 2022 champions, and the team management of Gujarat Titans will expect him to come up with a big show with the ball in the eliminator clash against MI. GT will miss the services of England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler in the eliminator match against MI. Buttler has left India to join the England team for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies. MI will also miss the services of Will Jacks, Ryan Rickelton and Corbin Bosch in the eliminator match. While Jacks will play for England in the home series against the Men in Maroon, Rickelton and Bosch have left for South Africa as part of the team's World Test Championship (WTC) final preparations.
