Ecclestone to take break to prioritise wellbeing
London, June 7 (UNI) England spinner Sophie Ecclestone will take a break from domestic cricket as she manages a quad injury and to "prioritise her wellbeing". Ecclestone, 26, was left out of England's first squad under new coach Charlotte Edwards because she was recovering from a knee injury. She played for the UP Warriorz in India's Women's Premier League in February but was sidelined for two months and missed the beginning of Lancashire's domestic season. The left-arm spinner has since played two one-day matches and six T20s for her county, but was withdrawn from their match against Hampshire on Tuesday because of the quad problem. At this stage, Ecclestone, who is the number one-ranked ODI bowler in the world, remains available for England's white-ball series against India, which begins on 28 June at Trent Bridge, the BBC reported. "Sophie has been managing a quad niggle over the past week but more importantly she wants to take a step back from cricket for a short period to look after herself," said Edwards. "We're totally behind that. We want to be able to select Sophie for the India series but the most important thing for her at the moment is that she feels in a better place. "We all agree that a break now could be beneficial for her to achieve that." England insisted Ecclestone's omission from the squad for the ongoing West Indies series was not related to the controversy that overshadowed an awful Ashes tour of Australia earlier this year. During England's 16-0 series defeat Ecclestone refused to take part in a TV interview conducted by former team-mate Alex Hartley, following her criticism of England's fitness during the T20 World Cup in November. England have comfortably beaten West Indies, winning both the one-day international and T20 series, but are expected to face a much greater challenge against India, who are also hosting the 50-over World Cup at the end of September. "Mental health is so important," Hartley told BBC Test Match Special during the final ODI against West Indies at Taunton. "If she [Ecclestone] feels she needs a refresh and if she's going to miss a series or a bit of domestic cricket, but it means she's fit for the World Cup, ultimately that's what we want." UNI BM

Indian women's team cricketer accuses fellow player of fraud
AGRA: Indian women's cricket team member and UP dy SP Deepti Sharma , 28, has accused fellow state player Arushi Goel of duping her of over Rs 25 lakh and breaking into her Agra flat to steal valuables, including gold and silver jewellery and Rs 2 lakh in foreign currency. Arushi, when approached for comment, declined to speak on the matter. Arushi, 27, a member of the UP women's team and a junior clerk with Indian Railways in Agra division, and Deepti -- captain of UP Warriorz for the current WPL season -- have played together in the domestic circuit in which Arushi was part of the UP Warriorz squad. ACP (Agra Sadar), Sukanya Sharma, said, "Deepti's brother, Sumit Sharma, approached the Sadar police station with the complaint. Prima facie, we found some truth in the complaint and filed an FIR under BNS sections 305 (a) (theft), 331 (3) (house breaking), 316 (2) (criminal breach of trust) and 352 (insulting someone with the intent to provoke a breach of peace)." The FIR said: "The two cricketers became close over the years through their association in the same team. Then, Arushi and her parents started exploiting Deepti financially, citing family emergencies and financial distress." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Your Daily Profit By 11 AM With This Superclass By Mr. Bala TradeWise Learn More Undo Deepti's brother further stated in his complaint: "My sister lost over Rs 25 lakh in the two-year period. When she confronted Arushi, the latter refused to return the amount." The complaint added that Arushi broke into Deepti's Agra flat on April 22, replaced the original door lock with a new one and "absconded with jewellery as well as over $2,500 USD (approx Rs 2 lakh)". The break-in came to light when Sumit said he tried to access the flat, but was unable to get in. "The incident has caused significant distress to Deepti, who is at the moment preoccupied with her training commitments and is preparing for the Team India camp in Bengaluru ahead of England tour," he added.

'Doesn't deserve this': Cricket fans react after shattering Ellyse Perry development
Cricket fans are condemning the lack of support that Ellyse Perry got from her teammates after Royal Challengers Bangalore were eliminated from the Women's Premier League in India on Saturday night. Perry made 28 off just 15 balls against UP Warriorz, becoming the competition's top-scorer with 323 runs. But a 12-run loss for RCB eliminated the powerhouse team from finals contention, meaning Perry's dream of winning the title has been shattered. Considering Perry has the most runs of anyone in the T20 comp, you'd expect her team to be winning. But she's received little support from her teammates and was sensationally snubbed in a controversial finish to another loss against the Warriorz last month. The match on February 24 went to a super-over, and despite making 90 not out off just 56 balls, Perry wasn't picked by her team for the bat-off. They instead sent out Smriti Mandhana and Richa Ghosh, who only managed four runs off their six balls to consign RCB to a crushing defeat. Saturday night's loss sent them to a 2-5 record on the season, meaning they're currently in last place and can't make the semis. Perry has made scores of 90 not out, 81 and 60 not out over the last month, but hasn't been able to lift her team. Cricket fans have been highly critical of her RCB teammates, saying they "don't deserve" the Aussie star on their team.

(@KrishVK_18) March 1, 2025 RCB are the franchise with the most disrespect to all their didn't deserve Ab D and Gayle , they don't deserve RCB women for sure don't deserve Ellyse Perry. #rcb — Tom Clisham (@TomClisham) March 1, 2025 Ellyse Perry doesn't deserve this after all she has done. 💔 — Female Cricket (@imfemalecricket) March 2, 2025 You Guys don't deserve Ellyse Perry she did everything for the team still you guys let her down — Rahemat_18_7🇮🇳 (@iam_Rahemat) March 3, 2025 Ellyse Perry is the Virat Kohli of RCB-W. They both deserve 100X better teams coz they don't deserve to rot in that clown franchise. — Crickified (@I_am_Shray) March 8, 2025 On Saturday night, George Voll became the latest Aussie to fall agonisingly close to becoming the first player in WPL history to make a century. Voll was left stranded on 99 not out for UP Warriorz, becoming the fourth Aussie in 12 days to end up in the 90s. Voll only recently flew over from Brisbane, making a jet-lagged, three-ball duck on Monday, before smacking a dazzling half-century on Thursday and then winning player-of-the-match on Saturday with an excellent all-round display. She smashed 17 fours and a six off 56 deliveries to equal the record for the competition's highest individual score - held by New Zealander Sophie Devine. No amount of praise is enough for Georgia Voll, she scored 99 runs on 56 balls, missed a century by one run. Sometimes luck doesn't favour you even after hard will be remembered — Rajneesh Yadav 🧢 (@rajneeshy165) March 8, 2025 MISSED A CENTURY BY JUST 1 RUN!! GEORGIA VOLL!!! Take a bow, you champ!!! #CricketTwitter #WPL2025 — Female Cricket (@imfemalecricket) March 8, 2025 RELATED: Scott Boland does it again as Sam Konstas suffers ugly new blow Alyssa Healy calls out Steve Smith over captain's glaring mistake The Queenslander then took two key catches and bowled the final over, whipping off the bails after just three balls to complete a last-wicket run-out and ensure RCB's chase ended on 213. Asked if she felt she had missed out on a golden chance of a historic ton, she admitted: "I think I did." On 98 and facing the spin of England's Charlie Dean for the final ball, Voll mused afterwards: "I should have known she would bowl that [yorker]." She only managed to shovel it to mid-on, with partner Deepti Sharma being run-out while thinking about coming back for an impossible second run. There have now been eight scores in the 90s in the WPL - six from Australians - but none have reached triple figures. Four have occurred in the last fortnight - Voll, Beth Mooney (96 not out), Meg Lanning (92) and Perry's 90 not out. with AAP
