Former India women's cricketers cheering for India during the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 final

Was watching the Cricket World Cup 2025 final replay and noticed former India captain Nilima Joglekar in one of the early t-shirts (Let's be real, women's cricket is here) conceptualized and designed by Ayan Mukherjee & I.

YouTube video by Women's CricZone "I remember watching Ellyse Perry and Meg Lanning play" | Hasrat Gill Interview | Australia U-19

Happy birthday to Australia's leg-spinning allrounder Hasrat Gill. She turns 20 today. One of the exciting talents to watch out for.

Here's the two-part interview I did with her in 2024.

Part 1: youtu.be/2p3IOo7gtN4?...

Part 2: youtu.be/vcEycRLM6vU?...

UPW's choices are understandable considering they don't have anyone worth 3.5cr to retain and can RTM them at a lower price. No one can match them with the purse.

GG's decision is the most inexplicable. They now have the worst of both worlds.

🚨 The Hundred will have its first player auction in March 2026.

▶️ 16-18 member squads
▶️ 4 overseas players
▶️ Salary cap and salary collar
▶️ Salary pot of £880,000 in the Women's Competition
▶️ 4 pre-auction signings

🚨 Update from ECB

"Results of an MRI scan on Sophie Ecclestone’s left shoulder indicate a minor injury to the joint next to her collar bone. She will continue to be assessed ahead of the SF."

Also they are optimistic about the chances of her playing the semi.

It's unfair on her if this ends up as a one-off chance. Ideally both Pratika and Shafali should be opening in the Bangladesh series with Smriti resting.

It's official. Pratika Rawal ruled out of the Cricket World Cup 2025. Shafali Verma to replace her.

Shafali Verma to replace injured Pratika Rawal in India's World Cup squad

BREAKING: Shafali Verma is set to replace Pratika Rawal in India’s World Cup squad ahead of the semi-final against Australia

Rawal has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with an ankle injury #CWC25

She is ruled out of the tournament. India can name a replacement in the squad if they want.

38 or 7, which one is bigger?

Australia shouldn't be swayed by this performance. They should look at King's numbers against India and rest her for match up purposes.

#CWC25

Beth Mooney 42 off 41 and Georgia Voll 38* off 38. Will be a close call for the Player of the Match. Maybe give it to Voll since she remained unbeaten and saw the team through.

Donate to Support Susie's Battle with Cancer, organized by Kent Cricket Former Kent Women’s and International cricketer Susie Wilson-Rowe has sadly been diagn… Kent Cricket needs your support for Support Susie's Battle with Cancer

Kent CCC are organising a fundraiser to support former England and Kent batter Susie Wilson-Rowe, who is battling a rare form of lung cancer. We've chipped in - if you can, please do too.

England's 288/8 is the highest first innings total by a non-Australian side against India in Women's ODIs.

Sophie Devine: [Feelings] We had a little bit of hope seeing the South Africa game the other day and that they were off the field for five hours and came back. We just needed the rain to hold of, but didn't happen today. It's extremely frustrating, let's be honest. You wait four years for a World Cup and to have suffer through the rain. I hope in future editions, they think of playing earlier in the day. We have seen the rain comes in the evening so play at 10 or 11. For the game, to be scuppered by rain is a real shame for me. [How's the dressing room?] It's pretty flat. We wanted to play today, we were really up and about. But the situation is very clear, we have to win both games, starting with India in Mumbai .We head back to India tomorrow and look forward to the challenges.

Athletes prepare for a lifetime for events like these and this is what you give them.

#CWC25

Oh sh*t. Didn't even read it properly!

It rained in Indore for the last two days despite the forecast suggesting otherwise.

No. One semi will be played in Colombo only if Pakistan are in the top 4.

Australia's reputation played a part there too. They weren't playing the ball that was in front of them, but were targeting an invincible score.

I just used it as an example. Unless they are going somewhere else, those two will get the top two retentions in all likelihood.

While we wait for England vs Sri Lanka - on the WPL decision to have a mega auction, with limited retentions and what it might mean for the squads. somuchsportoutthere.wordpress.com/2025/10/11/w...

It will be interesting to see if non-cricketing things (along with their ability) will come into play when it comes to retention. For instance, Melie is the face of OS contingent (MI), Shreyanka for local connect (RCB), Shafali & Jemimah are JSW athletes (JSW owns half of DC).

Hey! No nothing specified. They can't retain three capped Indians if they retain five. I guess maybe they can use RTM for the 3rd. Not sure.
