‘There's more to life than cricket': Domestic stalwart Priyank Panchal explains early retirement call
Former Gujarat captain and prolific batter Priyank Panchal recently opened up on his decision to retire from all forms of cricket and said, 'there is more to life than cricket.' Panchal, who had led India A in the past and featured in the senior squad, announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in May earlier this year. Every cricketer has two careers – the playing & non-playing one. Once I knew I couldn't play for India, it made sense to begin the latter early and get a headstart. Eventually there's more to life than cricket #AMAwithPriyank — Priyank Panchal (@PKpanchal09) August 9, 2025 The domestic veteran played 127 First-Class games and amassed 8,856 runs at 45.18 with 29 centuries and 34 fifties.

Panchal has been a part of the Indian Test team on a couple of occasions, including being called as a replacement for an injured Rohit Sharma. In the home Test series against England in 2021, He was named among the reserve openers alongside Abhimanyu Easwaran. The right-handed opening batter had a breakthrough year in 2016-17 in the Ranji Trophy when he scored 1,310 runs with a highest individual score of 314 not out. It was a season in which Gujarat won the premier domestic competition. Panchal was also a part of the title-winning Gujarat teams in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2015-16 and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2012-13 and 2013-14.

Priyansh Arya eyes Ranji Trophy debut after impressive IPL 2025 outing
The young Delhi batter, who shot to fame through the Delhi Premier League, believes it's time to evolve beyond the shortest format Press Trust of India New Delhi Having impressed one and all with his free-flowing and fearless approach in the IPL, young Delhi batter Priyansh Arya is now determined to translate his white ball form into traditional format becoming a red ball regular for Delhi in the upcoming Ranji season. The young Delhi batter, who shot to fame through the Delhi Premier League, believes it's time to evolve beyond the shortest format. "After DPL, I will start preparation for red-ball cricket. Last year as well, I spoke about that I want to play that form of cricket," Arya told PTI videos on the sidelines of Outer Delhi Warriors jersey launch event in New Delhi. "I will seek advice from my coach Sanjay sir (Bhardwaj) and prepare accordingly. I hope I would be able to make my red ball debut and not just remain a white-ball specialist next season, he added. Much of Arya's growth can be attributed to his constant desire to improve. And for that, he continues to rely on his childhood coach Bhardwaj, who incidentally also used to be national men's team head coach Gautam Gambhir's Go-To Man during his playing days. "I keep discussing with all the coaches what are the things that I can add to my game to better it and keep working on them." "But Sanjay Bhardwaj sir is the only one I talk to, he is the one who guides me what and where I lack, and advises me to work on the same," said the young southpaw. Before the IPL and DPL heroics, Arya had already made a strong statement in the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), where he was Delhi's top run-getter with 222-runs in 7 matches. He averaged 31.71 at strike rate of 166.91. In the inaugural edition of the DPL T20 in 2024, Arya delivered a phenomenal campaign, racking up 576 runs in just eight innings. His campaign was studded with highlights, including an unbeaten 107 against Purani Dilli and a whirlwind 120 off 50 balls against North Delhi Strikers, where he memorably hit six sixes in a single over off left-arm spinner Manan Bharadwaj. "I am very excited to play in the Delhi Premier League again because of the crowd and also playing against familiar players. I got all the fame and recognition from this very competition it is not easy at all. Even if you play in a park, things are not easy," said Arya. His form carried into the 2025 IPL season, where Arya further cemented his status as a power-hitter. He scored 475 runs in 17 matches, with two fifties and a century at a strike rate of 179.24, averaging nearly 28. "After IPL people have started recognising me more. Whenever I go out now they ask for selfies and photos. It feels really good to be known now, it gives me a sense of pride." The IPL final loss, however, still lingers. "Losing the IPL final still hurts, but now we have to wait for the next edition and by the time we don't win the final, it will stay that way," he concluded.

IND vs ENG Tests: N Jagadeesan gets England visa, will leave tomorrow morning as Rishabh Pant's injury cover
Tamil Nadu wicket-keeper batter has received his visa and will leave for England tomorrow (July 27) morning, having been . Jagadeesan was informed by the selectors about his inclusion in the squad for the ongoing Test series against England on Thursday afternoon. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Pant is set to miss the final Test after suffering a toe fracture while attempting a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes on the opening day of the fourth Test. Having initially been taking off the field, he returned a day later to score 54 runs off 75 balls. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. "There was uncertainty about Jagadeesan's selection initially, as high-profile cricketers like Ishan Kishan were also competing for the same role. However, being picked ahead of Kishan is a major credit for him and it is quite surreal that he'll be representing the Indian team. Jagadeesan has scored double and triple hundreds on a consistent basis with several world records under his belt. We had expected him to make it to the Indian team earlier," a source tracking development told . "Jagadeesan is a level-headed player who is mentally very strong. That is what has resulted in him going all the way and getting picked in the Indian team. He has put in a lot of hard work and made a lot of sacrifices over the years. Jagadeesan even missed his sister's wedding after being picked for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), watching the rituals on Skype. He has always been very particular about playing for the country rather than getting distracted by the IPL," he added. Jagadeesan's coach AG Guruswamy hailed his selection as a significant moment, backing him to make an impact for India. "It is certainly a big moment as Jagadeesan is the first player from Coimbatore to be called up to the Indian team. He simply follows the process rather than getting impacted by the result. Jagadeesan's discipline and persistence set him apart from others," he stated.

All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is also out of contention for the remaining matches after suffering a knee injury. Pacer Anshul Kamboj was brought in as a late addition to the Indian squad, making his India debut in the ongoing fourth Test. To make matters worse for the , already trailing 1-2 in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj appeared to struggle physically on Day 3 of the fourth Test. They were spotted limping and had hobbled off the field of play while also posting low numbers on the speed gun.
