  • Champions Trophy 2025

    1 month ago | wisden.com | Yas Rana

    England's defeat at the hands of Afghanistan that knocked them out of the 2025 Champions Trophy was their ninth defeat in ten matches with Brendon McCullum as white-ball coach. Serious questions must be asked about what he brings to the setup, writes Yas Rana. Sometimes one ball sums up a tour, or even an era. The Burns first baller in 2021 and the Harmison wide in 2006 spelt doom, foreshadowing subsequent weeks of fruitless Ashes toil.

  • Explained: Why Steve Smith Is Captaining Australia In Place Of Mitchell Marsh

    Sep 28, 2024 | wisden.com | Yas Rana

    Australia sprang a surprise at the toss for the fifth ODI against England at Bristol with Steve Smith stepping in to the captain the side in the absence of Mitchell Marsh. Marsh's unavailability presented Smith the opportunity to captain his country in England for the first time in seven years. The last time he led Australia in the UK was all the way back in 2017, a Champions Trophy fixture at Edgbaston.

  • Australia Are A Brutal First Assignment For A New England Side Learning On The Job

    Sep 21, 2024 | wisden.com | Yas Rana

    Australia’s win at Headingley consigned England to their 10th defeat in their last 14 ODIs, a run charting back to the start of their miserable 2023 World Cup title defence. Victory for the visitors, meanwhile, extends their winning run to 14 ODIs on the bounce, a stretch bettered only by Ricky Ponting’s Australia in men’s ODI cricket; these are two teams at the opposite ends of their respective cycles.
