COURTNEY WALSH INTERVIEW: How West Indies can get back on top - in just two years
Fast-bowling legend Courtney Walsh has called for international cricket's richest nations and the ICC to come to West Indies' aid – and believes his former team can climb back up the Test ladder given the right help. West Indies' white-ball tour of England finishes in Southampton on Tuesday, with the tourists seeking to avoid a sixth defeat out of six on a trip in which not all their best players were available because of IPL commitments. Sherfane Rutherford did not arrive from India until the third ODI, while Romario Shepherd missed that series altogether.

New Test captain Roston Chase will also depart after the England series to prepare for Australia's upcoming tour, with former West Indies Under-19 player Jyd Goolie receiving his first senior call-up.

England need 246 to claim ODI series clean sweep against West Indies
England need 246 to claim a 3-0 clean sweep of the West Indies in the Metro Bank one-day international series following fifties from Sherfane Rutherford and Gudakesh Motie in a reduced contest. After arriving to the ground late for the third ODI at the Kia Oval because of heavy traffic in the area, the Windies fell to 28 for three and then 154 for seven, with Adil Rashid taking three wickets. Rutherford had missed the Windies' defeats at Edgbaston and Sophia Gardens after deciding to stay at the Indian Premier League but he provided some much-needed ballast following their top-order failure. After his dismissal for 70 off 71 balls, Motie (63) took the baton alongside Alzarri Joseph (41) in a blistering 91-run stand off 68 deliveries to lift the Windies to 251 for nine – with England needing five runs fewer on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern. A combination of a couple of broken down buses, a traffic lights failure and roadworks over a River Thames bridge contributed to the Windies' tardiness from their hotel three-and-a-half miles away, which – along with a 95-minute rain delay in their innings – led to a shortened 40-over game. The tourists' practice time was shortened as play got under way half-an-hour after the scheduled start and they were quickly three down in next to no time as Evin Lewis, who was back following a groin injury, and fellow opener Brandon King miscued to catchers in the ring. When captain Shai Hope was bounced out by Saqib Mahmood for the second time in the series, it seemed they could vanish without trace. Rutherford led the recovery well, finding some fluency through the off-side while he was strong off his hips and put on 62 with Keacy Carty, before the Cardiff centurion perished for 29 shortly after the rain break when chopping on off Rashid, who then claimed two in two balls. Justin Greaves was caught well low down by Ben Duckett, who put down two catches at Cardiff, while Roston Chase hung out his bat to his first ball and nicked to Joe Root, who also spilled a catch last time out. Number eight batter Motie smoked Rashid's hat-trick ball for six but Rutherford departed when pulling Brydon Carse to Harry Brook, who took an excellent chance diving to his right at mid-on. England's hopes of a quick finish to the innings were dashed by Motie and Joseph, though, with the lower-order pair feasting on some wayward bowling, with the hosts guilty of overusing the short ball. Mahmood then Carse were both pulled into the stands by Motie, while Will Jacks was taken to task by number 10 Joseph, who top-edged to Matthew Potts at short third to end a buccaneering union. Motie was then castled from the final ball of the innings, through his shot as he was deceived by Potts' back-of-the-hand delivery.

Will Jos Buttler's absence affect GT in IPL 2025 playoffs? Vikram Solanki opens up

It's not about one individual or three individuals, as you keep reminding me - they've had good seasons,' Solanki said in the post-match press conference.'I'm glad the top order has been scoring most of the runs. That's a good thing. Yes, it means the middle order has sometimes not had the opportunity to bat. But when they have played, I think they've actually given a good account of themselves.'In Buttler's absence, Gujarat have brought in Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis as a also heaped praise on Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford for chipping in with handy knocks throughout the tournament. Shahrukh scored 57 runs against Lucknow Super Giants on May 22, although GT lost by 33 Khan played beautifully in the last game.

"One Bad Game Doesn't Define Us": Sherfane Rutherford Reflects On GT's Loss To LSG, Eyes Strong Comeback
After a spirited fightback in the middle overs, Gujarat Titans' chase against Lucknow Super Giants fell just short, ending in a tough defeat. Yet amidst disappointment, GT's Sherfane Rutherford remains unshaken. In an exclusive chat with us, Rutherford opened up about the team's mindset that post-defeat emphasized, emphasizing unity, resilience, and learning from setbacks. As the Titans gear up for a critical playoff push, Rutherford's words reflect a locker room built on collective belief and accountability. According to him, one bad game won't derail their campaign—it'll fuel their comeback. The Gujarat Titans may have stumbled in their recent clash with the Lucknow Super Giants, but Sherfane Rutherford insists the spirit within the dressing room is far from broken. Speaking exclusively after the loss, Rutherford shared candid insights into how the team processed the defeat and their mental approach heading into the playoffs. 'I think as a team we win together and we lose together. So, as a team, we come together and discuss where we went wrong and what we can do better. I mean, it's okay to lose, because there's always learning. Because Cricket is not all about winning, it's about how you get back up once down. So as a team, we always spoke about staying together in these tough times, and we have been playing well. One bad game doesn't make us a bad team. So I do not doubt that as a team we are gonna come back stronger,' said Rutherford in a conversation with us. The Titans' middle-overs fightback showed grit, but a few missteps at critical moments cost them the match. However, Rutherford is quick to remind fans that setbacks are part of the game. That unwavering belief is something the Gujarat Titans have built their identity on since entering the IPL. Whether it's bouncing back from early losses or keeping composure under pressure, GT's strength lies in its collective mindset. With the playoffs approaching, the Titans will look to sharpen their execution while preserving the spirit that has brought them success. Their journey so far has proven they're capable of thrilling cricket—and, more importantly, of bouncing back when it matters most. As Rutherford rightly said, it's not about never falling; it's about rising stronger. The Gujarat Titans may have faltered against LSG, but the hunger to bounce back burns brightly—and the next chapter promises to be just as fierce. Listen to the latest songs, only on
