<h2>Who Will Win the 1st Test Match?</h2>

India probably has the advantage given the home environment; if they bat first and get off to a good start, they have a good chance of winning. But if South Africa bowls effectively and adapts to the circumstances fast, they can undermine that edge.

Gill&#39;s method places a high value on calmness and consistency. India&#39;s batting has been more disciplined under him, focusing on wearing down bowlers and creating partnerships. His bowler rotation and field placements show maturity beyond his years.

&nbsp;

<h3>Temba Bavuma&rsquo;s Test Captaincy Record</h3>

Since early 2023, Temba Bavuma, the first Black Test captain of South Africa, has been in charge of the Proteas. Resilience, tactical patience, and unity are the foundations of his leadership. Despite changes in the batting order and bowling lineup, Bavuma has attempted to restore South Africa&#39;s red-ball identity.

Reports have surfaced indicating that the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are in advanced talks for a potential blockbuster trade including Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, and Sam Curran. This is a surprising development ahead of the IPL 2026 season. This could rank among the largest player transfers in IPL history if it is completed.

<h2>The Rumored Trade Deal</h2>

As a <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/will-ms-dhoni-play-for-csk-in-the-2026-ipl-/2735" style="text-decoration:none">long-term replacement for MS Dhoni</a>, who is expected to retire before or after IPL 2026, CSK has reportedly shown a great interest in bringing Sanju Samson to Chennai. Since 2021, Samson has been RR&#39;s captain and standout batsman. He has led the team with purpose and consistently produced at the plate.

Sam Curran, the England all-rounder now valued at more than ₹18 crore, and Ravindra Jadeja, CSK&#39;s seasoned all-rounder and crucial middle-order finisher, are being desired by Rajasthan in exchange. Both players offer tremendous versatility, balance, and experience&mdash;qualities RR has been looking for to bolster their middle order and bowling depth.

<h2>What Makes the Trade Interesting</h2>

Samson&#39;s purchase would offer CSK a natural leadership choice and stability at the top level. The wicketkeeper-batter, who was born in Kerala, is a wonderful fit for CSK&#39;s style of play because of his ability to anchor and drive innings.

This transaction could be a tactical masterwork for RR. Given Rajasthan&#39;s reliance on overseas hitters like Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer, Jadeja&#39;s all-around skill and Curran&#39;s ability as a powerplay and death bowler could change the team&#39;s dynamics.

<h3>Financial and Strategic Implications</h3>

Even though IPL trades of this size are uncommon, teams are thinking about strategically moving players to realign their core due to the impending <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/ipl-auction-2026-schedule-rulesm-window-team-goals-major-purchases-guide/2727" style="text-decoration:none">IPL 2026 mini auction</a>. Swapping major names might help both parties reset before the auction, as franchises are eager to balance finances and rebuild around future players.

However, both the participating teams and the players must provide permission for trade talks to take place in the IPL. Samson&#39;s significance to RR may make it difficult for them to split ways unless the deal significantly boosts their squad, while Jadeja&#39;s long-standing relationship with CSK and Dhoni may make the move emotionally difficult.

<h3>What&rsquo;s Next?</h3>

While neither CSK nor RR has formally announced the deal, insiders claim that talks are ongoing. If approved, this deal will redefine the character of both teams, providing RR with two great all-rounders to balance their starting lineup and giving CSK a potential captain.

Before team combinations are decided, fans may anticipate more dramatic changes as the IPL trade window heats up and the mini-auction approaches. If this transaction goes through, it will undoubtedly be regarded as one of the most exciting moves in IPL history.

AUS v IND 2025 5th T20I Match: No Result, Due To Rain, India Won Series  By 2-1

An extended 2029 Women&#39;s Cricket World Cup and a proposal to include cricket in the 2032 Summer Olympics are two significant decisions that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has formally approved, marking a turning point for global cricket.

<h2>Expansion of the Women&rsquo;s ODI World Cup</h2>

Eight teams competed in the 2025 Women&#39;s World Cup, which was held in India. <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/india-won-their-maiden-women-s-odi-wc/2713" style="text-decoration:none">India won the first-ever women&rsquo;s ODI World Cup title</a>. Nearly 300,000 spectators visited stadiums, and nearly half a billion people watched it in India alone.

The ICC has decided to increase the number of teams competing in the 2029 Women&#39;s ODI World Cup from the current 8 to 10 in response to this achievement.

The ruling demonstrates the governing body&#39;s dedication to increasing participation, enhancing competitiveness, and providing more countries with an opportunity on the international scene.

In addition to adding more teams, this change may result in more games; the 2029 edition is anticipated to have 48 games, up from 31 in 2025.&nbsp;

<h3>Why this matters:</h3>

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">The extra places present a significant chance for developing women&#39;s cricket nations to showcase their skills and gain experience.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Growing confidence in women&#39;s cricket&#39;s commercial and spectator appeal is indicated by the expanded format.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">A greater worldwide presence from more games and teams helps encourage funding, sponsorship, and the growth of women&#39;s programs.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Cricket and the 2032 Olympics</h2>

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Likewise, cricket&#39;s journey to the Olympics is accelerating. Six men&#39;s and six women&#39;s teams in the T20 format are anticipated for the sport&#39;s comeback to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.&nbsp;</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Beyond that, the ICC has started having serious conversations about cricket&#39;s inclusion in the 2032 Summer Olympics with the organizers in Brisbane, Australia.&nbsp;</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Event delivery, qualification procedures, and international calendar alignment with Olympic scheduling are important topics of discussion.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Implications:</h3>

Including cricket in the Olympics would put it on the biggest multi-sport stage in the world and possibly reach people outside of the traditional cricketing nations.

Olympic publicity may encourage facilities and financing for countries where cricket is still in its infancy.

Fitting cricket&mdash;even the condensed T20 format&mdash;into the Olympic calendar presents a logistical difficulty that must be weighed against other sports and venue limitations.

Women’s cricket to feature 10 teams in the 2029 World Cup; ICC confirms cricket’s return to the Olympics at Brisbane 2032 for both men and women.

10 Teams In Women’s WC 2029, Cricket Added In Olympics In 2032

After months of debate regarding his future in the series, legendary Indian batsman and wicketkeeper MS Dhoni will surely sign with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for the 2026 IPL.

<h2>Official Confirmation</h2>

In a public statement, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan confirmed that Dhoni has indicated that he is available for the 2026 Indian Premier League.

&ldquo;MS has told us that he will be available for the next season.&rdquo;&nbsp;

At least for the upcoming campaign, this actually puts an end to any doubt about &quot;Thala&#39;s&quot; future.

<h2>Why This Matters</h2>

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">In addition to his longevity, Dhoni has helped CSK win five IPL titles and has been a cornerstone of the team&#39;s identity since 2008.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Dhoni&#39;s comeback offers CSK both experience and emotional fortitude after a challenging 2025 season that saw them finish at the bottom of the table.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">His involvement makes it clear to all parties involved&mdash;fans, sponsors, and the franchise&mdash;that CSK is committed to recovering.</li>
</ul>

<h3>What to Expect Next</h3>

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">CSK has till mid-November retention date to finalize important players for the 2026 Indian Premier League. They have a foundation of continuity thanks to Dhoni&#39;s guaranteed position.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Decisions on his on-field role&mdash;batting position, wicket-keeping, captaincy or mentorship, and the number of games he will actually play&mdash;will be made in the following phase.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">In addition to performances, fans and the media will be watching the 2026 season for a narrative: would Dhoni retire after 2026 or continue?</li>
</ul>

Sri Lanka&rsquo;s bowler Matheesha Pathirana rules from the next white-ball tour of Pakistan, which consists of a three-match ODI series and a subsequent T20I tri-series with the Zimbabwe national cricket team.

<h2>What&rsquo;s the situation</h2>

The teams for the tour of Pakistan, which will begin with the ODIs on November 11 and the T20I tri-series on November 17, were revealed by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).

Due to an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Pathirana has been excluded from the T20I team and, consequently, the tour. Asitha Fernando has taken his position in the squad.

<h2>Impact &amp; implications</h2>

Sri Lanka suffers from Pathirana&#39;s absence, particularly considering his growing prominence in the limited-overs formats. One of their strike pace bowlers, he is renowned for his distinctive motion and capacity to bowl quickly in the Twenty20 game. His absence from this tour implies:

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Sri Lanka&#39;s attack depth and experience are diminished when they lose a crucial bowling option for both ODIs and T20Is.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">Replacement Asitha Fernando will have a chance, although there may be a gap due to her lack of foreign experience.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">This is one fewer elite bowler for Pakistan (and Zimbabwe, in the tri-series) to deal with, which could change matches and strategies.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Sri Lanka Squad For ODI And Tri-Series</h2>

ODI squad: Charith Asalanka (C), Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Udara, Kamil Mishara, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Kamindu Mendis, Janith Liyanage, Pavan Rathnayake, Wanindu Hasaranaga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Dushmantha Chameera, Asitha Fernando, Pramod Madushan, Eshan Malinga.

T20I squad: Charith Asalanka (C), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Kamil Mishara, Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranaga, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushan Hemantha, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara, Asitha Fernando, Eshan Malinga.

Sri Lanka pacer Matheesha Pathirana has been ruled out of the Pakistan T20Is and the upcoming Tri-Series due to injury, dealing a blow to Sri Lanka’s pace attack.

Matheesha Pathirana will not play in the Pakistan And T20I Tri-Series

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) formally brought up the unresolved issue of the Asia Cup 2025 winners&#39; trophy at the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) Board meeting in Dubai.

<a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/asia-cup-2025-the-final-india-won-by-5-wickets-sealed-asia-cup-title-9-times/2593" style="text-decoration:none">India won the continental title</a> after defeating the Pakistani national cricket team in the Asia Cup final on September 28.

Nevertheless, the trophy has not yet been given to the winners. Mohsin Naqvi, the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is still in possession of the trophy.&nbsp;

<h2>The Issue</h2>

When the Indian players refused to take the trophy from Naqvi at the trophy-presentation ceremony, emotions increased. They mentioned the political tensions between India and Pakistan, as well as the conflict of interest given his dual role.

The award was reportedly taken off the presentation stage and kept under Naqvi&#39;s supervision at the ACC office in Dubai after that rejection.

Before the ICC meeting, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said that India had sent an official letter to the ACC asking for the trophy to be given, but had not heard back.

He brought up the issue at the ICC Board meeting, emphasizing that India&#39;s victory was clear and that they should get the trophy.

<h2>ICC&rsquo;s Response</h2>

The Board agreed to consider the issue informally even though it was not on the official agenda. Several members voiced their worries that eliminating a winner&#39;s trophy would be detrimental to cricket&#39;s administration and culture.

Sources claim that the ICC has now formed a committee to mediate a dispute between India, the ACC, and Pakistan. The committee is purportedly led by Pankaj Khimji of the Oman Cricket Board.&nbsp;

<h3>Why It Matters</h3>

This is not just a symbolic rejection. For India, the trophy is an actual proof of a significant tournament victory; for international administrators, the event calls into question sport-administration procedures, justice, and the necessity of shielding cricket from international politics. Such disputes could affect future matches, board relations, and the sport&#39;s reputation if they are not settled.

<h3>What Next</h3>

The final decision now rests on the efforts of the mediation committee and whether Naqvi, as president of the ACC, consents to transfer the trophy. The BCCI has stated clearly that it will not accept the award from him.

The ideal outcome would be a respectful handover and the resolution of the dispute, but the ICC will likely keep an eye on things and may set deadlines or make recommendations.
