Indian limited overs captain MS Dhoni on Thursday recalled how he and Virender Sehwag endured the harsh reactions from fans and media after India's early exit in the 2007 ODI World Cup held at West Indies. He, however, also credited the same event for shaping him into a better player and cricketer.

Veteran Sri Lankan all-rounder Tillakaratne Dilshan is set to retire from international cricket at the end of the ongoing series against Australia. The 39-year-old has announced that the match against Australia on Sunday will be his last ODI outing, before he features again in the two T20I games.

Muttiah Muralitharan will be the 1st Sri Lankan to be formally inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame later this year, the ICC has announced. The off-spinner will be inducted alongside former English pacer George Lohmann, former Aussie opener Arthur Morris, and former Aussie women captain Karen Rolton.

Sri Lankan legend Muttiah Muralitharan has launched a scathing attack on the Sri Lankan cricket board and its President Thilanga Sumathipala insisting that he is being made a scape goat for their failure. The 44-year-old has also received backing from former skipper Kumar Sangakkara on the issue.

The ICC Test rankings could see major shifts when Australia and India take on Sri Lanka and West Indies respectively in their upcoming series. With the No.1 and 2 teams locking horns with the No.7 and 8 placed teams, the downside for the former and the upside for the latter can see India go top.
