The trio are part of a 13-man squad to face Bangladesh which will be captained by Tom Latham

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Mar-2021Devon Conway, Will Young and Daryl Mitchell have earned their first ODI call-ups as part of New Zealand’s 13-man squad for the three-match series against Bangladesh this month.With Kane Williamson ruled out due to an elbow injury, there is a vacancy in the top order which will open the door for either Conway – who has enjoyed a superb start to his T20I career – or Young to slot in. Tom Latham will captain the side in Williamson’s absence.New Zealand have not played ODIs for a year – their last match was behind closed doors in Sydney last March before the tour was aborted due to Covid-19 – and they have only had four 50-over matches since the 2019 World Cup final.Related

“It’s certainly been a while since we’ve played ODI cricket, with just four games since the 2019 Cricket World Cup campaign,” selector Gavin Larsen said. “We’re now in a new World Cup cycle and our attention has turned to building towards the 2023 tournament in India.”This series is a great opportunity to begin laying those foundations and formulating the type of team and game-plan we think can continue our impressive run in this format. Devon, Will and Daryl are quality players and have enjoyed impressive seasons so far, and we’re looking forward to giving them further opportunities to develop their game at this level. Whilst it’s disappointing to lose a player of Kane’s class, Tom has proven experience in taking the reins and I know he’s excited to lead the side.”Young, 28, made his Test debut against West Indies in December having long waited for his opportunity. Ahead of the 2019 World Cup, he scored two centuries against the Australians during warm-up matches in Brisbane but then underwent shoulder surgery.Mitchell, who scored his maiden Test century earlier this season, will compete for one of the allrounder positions.Neither Lockie Ferguson (back) nor Colin de Grandhomme (ankle) was considered for the squad although it is hoped Ferguson will be able to return for the T20Is. Legspinner Ish Sodhi, who was Player of the Series in the T20Is against Australia, did not find a spot in this squad.”The bowling group is a strong and experienced one and will be well complemented by the two seam-bowling allrounders in Jimmy [Neesham] and Daryl,” Larsen said. “We’ve also taken the decision to carry just the one spinner in the squad, which is a reflection of the venues for this series and expected pitch conditions.”It is expected that some of the New Zealand players with IPL deals will sit out the T20I series.Squad: Tom Latham (capt & wk), Trent Boult, Devon Conway, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Will Young

Left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal, who made her Pakistan debut in the T20I series last week has also been included

ESPNcricinfo staff31-Oct-2019Pakistan have made three changes to the squad that beat Bangladesh 3-0 in the T20I series earlier this week for the ODIs. Fifteen-year old legspinner Syeda Aroob Shah has earned her maiden Pakistan call-up, figuring in the 15-member squad for the two-match series against the same opponents at home. Left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal, who made her international debut in the T20I series, has also been included in this squad, which also has left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu and seamer Fatima Sana.Syeda, Sandhu and Fatima, who were part of the Pakistan Emerging squad that played in the ACC’s women’s Emerging Teams Cup, have come into the side replacing Ayesha Zafar, Anam Amin and Saba Nazir. All three of them finished with three wickets apiece across two games in the series. Fatima, who made her debut in May this year, has played two ODIs and three T20Is while Sandhu has picked up 34 wickets in 27 ODIs and 21 wickets in 23 T20Is. Sadia picked up four wickets in the T20I series, including 3 for 19 in the second match.A PCB statement said the selection committee, led by Urooj Mumtaz, had picked a squad that struck a balance between youth and experience, and served players an opportunity to warm-up for Pakistan’s final-round of Women’s Championship fixtures against England in December.The two ODIs are scheduled to be played on November 2 and 4 at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.ODI squad: Bismah Maroof (capt), Aliya Riaz, Syeda Aroob Shah, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana, Iram Javed, Javeria Khan, Kainat Imtiaz, Nashra Sandhu, Nahida Khan, Omaima Sohail, Sadia Iqbal, Sana Mir, Sidra Amin, Sidra Nawaz

Australia’s chances against Pakistan in the upcoming series will rest on their ability to play the turning ball. But as they showed in a riveting series against India last year, their own spin-bowling resources aren’t to be trifled, and Nathan Lyon continued that narrative with a five-for on the first day of the team’s warm-up match in Dubai. The offspinner finished with figures of 36-5-87-5, walking the talk from last week when he said he will bowl ugly if need be to put his team on top.Pakistan A had some solid performers as well, with opener Sami Aslam making a smooth half-century and No. 3 Abid Ali batted for more than 80 overs to finish unbeaten on 83 off 254 deliveries. Despite those two promising performances, the score at the end of the day was a middling 247 for 6.Mitchell Starc also provided good news for Australia, getting through 17 overs of work in his first competitive outing since March 2018. The 28-year old fast bowler sustained a tibial stress fracture on the tour to South Africa and has since been on the bench, recovering, Selected for this tour, Starc will be leading an Australian pace attack that will not have Pat Cummins or Josh Hazlewood and it is in light of that fact that Lyon’s form becomes doubly important. He had three of his five victims caught behind and bowled one other. All of them were top-order batsmen, including Aslam who fell for 51. Left-arm spinner Jon Holland played the supporting act and secured an important wicket as well – that of Asad Shafiq, who struck a gallant century in the 2016 day-night at Brisbane to almost chase down a target of 490.

Sussex are favourites to claim their third win in their last four Specsavers County Championship games after an unbeaten 166 by Stiaan van Zyl left Leicestershire reeling at Arundel

Sussex are favourites to claim their third win in their last four Specsavers County Championship games after an unbeaten 166 by Stiaan van Zyl left Leicestershire reeling at Arundel.The South African was well supported by Luke Wright and Ben Brown, who both made half-centuries, before a violent cameo by Jofra Archer, who smashed 42 off 14 balls, took Sussex to 443 for 6 declared, leaving Leicestershire needing 425 to win their first game of the season. Their openers Arun Harinath and Paul Horton got through ten overs before stumps to close on 36-0, needing 389 for victory on the final day.Van Zyl had come to the wicket when Sussex’s advantage was only 64 after Luke Wells (43) was lbw to Matt Pillans. Harry Finch, trapped in his crease by Clint McKay, went for 18 with only four more runs added and Sussex 87 for 4, but Leicestershire’s day went downhill from there.Van Zyl gave one chance on 35 which should have been taken, but Richard Jones dropped an easy catch at cover off Will Fazakerley’s first ball and the 29-year-old, who played 12 Tests before joining Sussex on a three-year Kolpak deal in the winter, made them pay.He did the hard yards in assessing the vagaries of a pitch offering some erratic bounce and then began to drive confidently through the off side, collecting the majority of his 24 boundaries between cover and mid-off.His stand of 135 in 40 overs with Wright, who hit eight fours in his 110-ball 60, put Sussex in the driving seat and there was no loss of momentum when Wright hooked to deep square leg.Skipper Brown was at his busy and effective best, turning ones into twos and employing some effective back-foot shots against a tiring attack. There was some rough for Leicestershire’s three spinners to work with but none made much of an impression as Brown and van Zyl added 146 in 28 overs to build a strong position.Van Zyl passed his previous best for Sussex – 147 against Durham in May – and although Brown was pinned in front by a shooter from Richard Jones after scoring 67 in 80 balls with eight boundaries there was no end to the suffering for Leicestershire’s foot-sore attack, who have failed to bowl a side out twice in the Championship this season.Archer thrashed off-spinner Rob Sayer for three sixes in an over before hoisting Fazakerley over long leg. He also struck three boundaries in a violent cameo before Sussex pulled out with van Zyl on 166 from 252 balls with 24 fours. Batting for over five hours in the energy-sapping heat was as impressive a statistic.

Brett D’Oliveira continued his remarkable transformation from spin bowler to opening batsman when narrowly missing a third consecutive century in the County Championship

Brett D’Oliveira continued his remarkable transformation from spin bowler to opening batsman when narrowly missing a third consecutive century in the County Championship, as Worcestershire piled up 382 for 4 on the opening day of the Division Two match with Sussex at New Road.The 24-year-old was out for 99 after scores of 128 against Essex and 202 not out against Glamorgan. His hot streak even spilled into the Birmingham & District League on Saturday, when he made 150 for local club Ombersley in their defeat by Walsall.England Lions prospect Joe Clarke shared some of D’Oliveira’s frustration in missing a hundred when he was dismissed for 82, after making 135 against Gloucestershire and 133 against Glamorgan.Sussex may have thought D’Oliveira was out first ball but their appeal for a catch behind the wicket off Ollie Robinson was rejected and the innings was into the 50th over before he was caught by Harry Finch when cutting a ball from Luke Wells.Until Kevin Sharp joined the county’s coaching staff in 2014, D’Oliveira was batting at No. 8 in the second team but was moved up to open that season, confirming his potential with a century against Hampshire 2nd XI. By the end of last summer, he was opening for the first team and now he is established in the new role, with 598 first-class runs this season, having made 122 in the opening fixture against Oxford MCCU.Strong on back foot, punching a number of his 15 boundaries from short of a length, he made the most of a good batting surface by completing a century stand with Daryl Mitchell in a gloriously sunny and warm first session.Steve Magoffin was the one bowler to impose restrictions, his 12 overs in two spells yielding only 19 runs, but it was largely trouble-free for the batsmen until Mitchell, who won the toss, miscued a pull off Stuart Whittingham low to Magoffin at mid-on. The first pair put on 113, the fifth time D’Oliveira has been involved in a three-figure partnership in the Championship this summer.Sussex plugged away and finally claimed their first bowling bonus point soon after tea when Alexei Kervezee, in his first Championship appearance for nearly 12 months, was bowled by Whittingham after making 29 in a stand of 54 with Clarke.There was a scare for Clarke when a crashing drive only just cleared Lewis Hatchett at mid-on but a hundred was looking there for the taking before he got himself out, popping up the simplest of return catches to Wells. In a measured innings, he hit nine fours from 117 ballsSussex’s hopes of a significant breakthrough were blunted by an unbroken partnership of 101 in which Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Ross Whiteley both survived chances. Whiteley came into form with seven fours and a six from 63 balls in his first half-century of the season.

Shakib Al Hasan and Wahab Riaz have been fined 30 per cent of their match fees for breaching Level 1 of the ICC code of conduct during the final day’s play of the drawn first Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Khulna

ESPNcricinfo staff03-May-2015Shakib Al Hasan and Wahab Riaz have been fined 30 per cent of their match fees for breaching Level 1 of the ICC code of conduct during the final day’s play of the drawn first Test between Bangladesh and Pakistan in Khulna.The incident happened in the 118th over of Bangladesh’s second innings when the duo halted play by arguing and pointing fingers at each other. The players were found to have breached Article 2.1.8 (a) of the code, which relates to “conduct contrary to the spirit of the game.” An ICC release stated that both admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Jeff Crowe.”Posturing and finger pointing in each other’s face is not what we expect from two senior international players and has no place in cricket,” Crowe said. “International cricketers should always remember that they are being watched and followed by millions and, therefore, need to always control their emotions and demonstrate respect.”All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee.

Ricky Ponting continued his promising start to the season with an unbeaten 89 against a Test-class Victoria attack as Tasmania dominated the opening day at the MCG. Ponting and Alex Doolan, who made 95, were the stand-outs for the Tigers after the openers Mark Cosgrove and Ed Cowan both batted well, and having been sent in by Victoria’s captain Cameron White, Tasmania were 3 for 315 at stumps.George Bailey was on 13, having joined Ricky Ponting late in the day when the otherwise steadfast Doolan was bowled by Peter Siddle, missing the chance for his second century of the season. Ponting was eyeing triple figures by the close of play, having gradually worked his way into his summer with 9, 34 and 85 not out in the Shield so far, and less than three weeks from the first Test against South Africa it was an encouraging sign.Ponting struck 10 fours and a six against Victoria, whose seven bowlers had all played for Australia in either Test or ODI cricket. James Pattinson, Andrew McDonald and John Hastings all went wicketless, as did White, and the first breakthrough didn’t come until Tasmania had scored 90, when Cosgrove top-edged Glenn Maxwell and was caught at deep backward square leg for 56.Cowan showed patience and made 42 from 135 balls but didn’t capitalise on his start, caught at slip off the bowling of Clint McKay. But that brought Doolan and Ponting together for their 151-run partnership and with Tim Paine, James Faulkner and Luke Butterworth all still to bat, Victoria faced the prospect of conceding a hefty score on the second day unless they could make early breakthroughs.
