India train for Fatullah Test in Mirpur heat

The only noise to come on the hot Monday afternoon from Milk Vita Road in Mirpur section 6 was of the screaming and whistle-blowing policemen trying to keep vehicles from getting in the way of the India team bus that chugged in slowly towards the Shere Bangla National Stadium's entrance.

A touring team's first training session in Bangladesh has been generally to get acclimatised to the heat and humidity, and the pitches. India had originally scheduled only one day of training ahead of the Fatullah Test but a few days before their arrival for their 18-day tour, they added the afternoon session on Monday, a few hours after their plane landed at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. They had requested the BCB for it to be held in Fatullah, the venue for the Test, but Bangladesh's training schedule was already set for the afternoon in Fatullah.

Dravid is new Coach of Indian U19 Team

Former India captain Rahul Dravid has agreed in principle to become the coach of the India Under-19 and A teams, BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur confirmed during a board advisory meeting on Saturday.

"The good news is that Rahul Dravid has agreed to coach India A and India Under-19 in the future," Thakur said. Dravid's first assignment will be a tri-series hosted by India, between the A teams of India, South Africa and Australia in July. He will also accompany the Under-19 team to next year's World Cup in Bangladesh.

Dravid had been widely tipped for the post since Tuesday, when ESPNcricinfo reported that the BCCI had a "role in mind" for him, with Thakur himself mentioning that "for any cricketer of that stature, the BCCI would like to have their services." Dravid was even approached to join the cricket advisory committee with former batsmen Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, but he declined the offer as he was keener on a more hands-on role.

Dowrich and Samuels steady West Indies

Shane Dowrich and Marlon Samuels provided a steadying partnership for West Indies after Darren Bravo fell early on the third day against Australia in Dominica. But plenty of hard work still remained for West Indies, who were 97 for 3 at lunch and still trailed by 73 runs, with Dowrich on 31 and Samuels on 26.

West Indies added 72 runs in the session for the loss of Bravo, who on 5 drove Josh Hazlewood uppishly and was well caught by David Warner, hurling himself to his right at mid-off. It left West Indies at 37 for 3, but by the lunch break the partnership between Dowrich and Samuels had reached 60 runs, with both men moving slowly as survival was their major goal. There were a couple of nervy moments, though, including in the last over before lunch, when Samuels was on 26 and left a ball outside off to Shane Watson. Brad Haddin, standing up to the stumps, whipped the bails off a fraction of a second before Samuels lifted his back foot off the ground, a case of perfect timing for the batsman.

England Pprehistoric at World Cup - Collingwood

"It was obviously pretty prehistoric in terms of the way they went about things. You could see that in the results they got." Paul Collingwood's verdict on England's performance in the World Cup might just be the most apt epitaph yet.

Collingwood, who was coaching Scotland during the World Cup, remains the only Englishman to lift a global limited overs trophy: the 2010 World T20 in the Caribbean.

"We've always played catch-up in the one-day form of the game," he said, though he believes England have been handicapped by conditions that render attacking the new ball far harder than in other parts of the world. "Whenever we tried it in English conditions, it never quite worked because of the seam movement and all this business. We kind of get halfway and then always resort back to the more conservative plan. But now there is a real sense of 'we've got to do this' because we're getting nowhere playing conservative cricket.

AB De Villiers named SA's Cricketer of the Year

AB de Villiers was named South Africa's Cricketer of the Year for the second successive year at Cricket South Africa's annual awards on Wednesday. He was also awarded the ODI Cricketer of the Year, Player's Player of the Year and Fans' Player of the Year.

De Villiers has scored 1610 runs in 28 ODIs at an average of 80.50 since the start of 2014, including four centuries, and has had a sensational 2015. He set the record for the quickest century in ODIs (100 off 31 balls against West Indies in Johannesburg), followed by the fastest 150 in ODIs - off 64 balls - decimating the same opposition during a World Cup game in Sydney. He has also scored 779 runs in nine Tests at an average of 55.64 in the same time period.

Saeed Ajaml Dropped From Srilanka Tour!

Offspinner Saeed Ajmal, who was part of the squad in the two-Test series against Bangladesh, was left out because of his lack of impact with the remodelled bowling action. Ajmal picked up a solitary wicket in the tour game before the start of Bangladesh Tests, but couldn't make it to the Test XI with Zulfiqar Babar and Yasir Shah pipping him for spinners' spots. He played two ODIs and one T20 on the tour, but managed just one more wicket.


 Babar Azam, Bilawal Bhatti, Sami Aslam were also excluded, while Rahat Ali, Sohaib Maqsood and Sohail Khan continued to be unavailable due to their respective injuries. Shehzad was dropped from both Test and ODI squads after the 2015 World Cup on disciplinary grounds. He was recalled for the Zimbabwe ODIs but remained on the bench throughout the three-match series. Shehzad is one of three openers - Mohammad Hafeez and Masood, being the other two - in the squad.
