Australian umpire Simon Taufel revealed, during a summit in Nagpur, what fast bowler Munaf Patel had spat out at England’s Owais Shah during the 2006 Wankhede Test. The 48-year-old official also stated that while technology has helped cricket massively, it wouldn’t replace humans anytime soon.

After the 3-0 drubbing against the England women's cricket team in the T20I series, Indian coach WV Raman has underlined the fact that the girls have to work hard on their skills. He has also revealed that the team wanted Mithali Raj to bat at no. 4 to strengthen the middle order.

Smriti Mandhana, who is all set to lead the Indian Women’s team against England, has said that her preparations will not change much even after taking up the captaincy. She has also added that she is hopeful of good crowd support in the T20Is in Guwahati and that will only improve women’s cricket.

India ODI skipper Mithali Raj has asked for DRS on a more consistent basis stating that it would help the girls to understand when and where to use it. The skipper also called for more commitment in inconsequential games after India lost the third ODI after sealing series in the first two games.
