Australian cricketers are "prepared to strike" if a contract dispute is not resolved, which could have an impact on the Ashes at the end of the year. In March, Cricket Australia proposed salary increases for men and women, but this would mean players no longer receive a percentage of CA's revenue. The offer was rejected and CA said it would not pay players after 30 June. If the dispute is not resolved, there would be uncertainty over what team Australia could field after 30 June, with a two-Test series scheduled in August in Bangladesh before a home Ashes showdown with England, which runs from 23 November 2017 to 8 January 2018.

England will name their squad for this winter's Ashes series in Australia at 10:00 BST on Wednesday. The announcement will happen at The Oval before the start of the fourth one-day international match against West Indies. There are injury concerns, with seamer Toby Roland-Jones having recently had scans for his back complaint. And on Thursday, Lancashire batsman Haseeb Hameed broke a finger during a match against Middlesex. England begin the tour against a Western Australia XI on 4 November, with the first of their five Tests beginning on 23 November in Brisbane. The teams will also play each other in five one-day internationals. Australia coach Darren Lehmann and fellow selectors Trevor Hohns and Greg Chappell will name their Ashes squad in November

India have moved to the top of the ICC one-day rankings after completing a series win against Australia with two games to spare. Aaron Finch hit 124 from 125 balls for Australia in their 293-6 in Indore. Openers Ajinkya Rahane (70) and Rohit Sharma (71) put on 139 and Hardik Pandya scored 78 as India secured a five-wicket win with 13 balls to spare. The hosts, who have moved above South Africa in the rankings, lead the five-match series 3-0. India, who now top the Test and one-day rankings, have won their past nine one-day internationals, equaling their best run. The fourth game of the series is in Bangalore on Thursday with the final encounter in Nagpur on Sunday, 1 October

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has been ruled out of Wales' last two World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and the Republic of Ireland with a calf strain. The 28-year-old could be out for a month and that would also rule Bale out of the play-offs on 9-14 November. Wales are second in Group D and if they keep that spot it could be enough to earn them a place in the play-offs. Bale joined the Wales squad on Monday and, despite sitting out training, it had been hoped he would be fit. But a scan revealed the severity of the injury and means Bale will not travel to Georgia for Friday's game in Tblisi and will play no part in the Cardiff clash with Republic of Ireland three days later.

England batsman Alex Hales is not expecting to face a criminal charge over an incident outside a nightclub in Bristol in September. Hales was interviewed under caution by police on Friday but released without being under investigation. He had been with Test vice-captain Ben Stokes, 26, who was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and released under investigation. Hales' lawyer said he would be "surprised" if he faced further action. Any decision on charges will be in the hands of the Crown Prosecution Service, but lawyer Ian Kelcey told BBC Sport he does not expect it to go any further. Avon and Somerset Police declined to comment.

Sri Lanka won the second Test by 68 runs to condemn Pakistan to a first home series defeat since moving their home games to the United Arab Emirates. Chasing 317 for victory in Dubai after bowling Sri Lanka out for 96 in their second innings in the day-night match, Pakistan were well placed at 222-5. But they collapsed to 248 all out as off-spinner Dilruwan Perera took 5-98. Asad Shafiq made 112, adding 173 for the sixth wicket with skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, who scored 68. Sri Lanka, who had not won an away series against Pakistan since 2000, won the first Test in Abu Dhabi by 21 runs. Their heavy home series defeat by India prompted the resignation of the selection panel.

Plans for a Test championship and one-day international league have been approved by the International Cricket Council. Nine teams will play six series of Test matches over a two-year period - three at home and three away - culminating in a world Test championship final. A 13-team ODI league, introduced from 2021, will now be used to qualify for the World Cup. The ICC has also given the go-ahead for a trial of four-day Test matches. "Throughout the discussions about the future of Test cricket it became clear that we must also consider alternatives and trial initiatives that may support the future viability of Test cricket," ICC chief executive David Richardson said.

Australia batsman David Warner has warned England to expect 'war' in the Ashes next month.
Vice captain Warner, 30, said how he will try to make himself 'hate' the tourists for extra motivation. He said he did not regret claiming England had 'scared eyes' during the first Ashes Test at the Gabba in 2013. "As soon as you step on that line it's war," he said of the five-Test series, which starts in Brisbane on 23 November. "You try and get into a battle as quick as you can. I try and look in the opposition's eyes and try and work out 'how can I dislike this player, how can I get on top of him?'. You have to delve and dig deep into yourself to actually get some hatred about them to actually get up when you're out there. History is a big part in this and that is what carries us onto the ground."

A groundsman has been sacked after video emerged of him allegedly agreeing to tamper with the wicket before Wednesday's one-day international between India and New Zealand in Pune. A sting operation by India Today TV captured Pandurang Salgaoncar on camera allegedly stating he would prepare the pitch to suit two unnamed bowlers. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) asked for a detailed report. It added it had "zero tolerance towards any such activity". Salgaoncar was dismissed by the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) and replaced by curator Ramesh Mhamunkar. The second ODI, at the MCA Stadium, went ahead on schedule after the pitch had been inspected by match referee Chris Broad, BCCI said. The India Today footage of Salgaoncar talking to a reporter, who was posing as a bookmaker, was broadcast a few hours before the match.

Captain Joe Root scored his maiden fifty of the Ashes tour as England closed the opening day of their four-day warm-up match against a Cricket Australia XI on 278-8. Opener Mark Stoneman (61) and Dawid Malan (63) also made half-centuries but no batsman was able to post England's first century of the tour. Young leg-spinner Daniel Fallins, in his maiden first-class match, removed four of England's top six in the day-night match, which is being played with a pink ball in Adelaide. Playing in conditions similar to those they will encounter in the floodlit second Ashes Test also in Adelaide, England fought hard but struggled to time the ball on a ground with a slow outfield. Root was the most fluent of England's batsmen, making a busy 58 from 89 balls, but there were failures for opener Alastair Cook (15) and wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow (9).

England held their nerve to take a 2-0 lead in the one-day international series with a four-wicket victory over Australia at Brisbane. Set 271 to win after Aaron Finch hit 106, the tourists eased to 119-1 only to be checked by the wickets of Alex Hales, Jonny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan. Joe Root and Jos Buttler rebuilt before Mitchell Starc removed the wicketkeeper and Moeen Ali in quick succession. But Root and Chris Woakes calmly guided England home with 34 balls to spare. Despite those wobbles during the chase, it was a largely commanding performance by Morgan's side, who bowled superbly to restrict Australia on a good Gabba pitch that offered turn. England can now clinch the five-match series with victory in the third ODI at Sydney on Sunday.

England suffered a third Twenty20 defeat in a row as they were beaten by New Zealand in the tri-series which also involves Australia. The Black Caps made 196-5 after being put into bat, with Martin Guptill (65) and Kane Williamson (72) putting on 82. Alex Hales (47) got England off to a quick start but they lost James Vince, Jos Buttler and Sam Billings cheaply. Dawid Malan (59) gave England hope but, needing 37 from the last three overs, the tourists reached 184-9. Australia are already through to the final after three wins from as many games and New Zealand will join them if they can beat David Warner's side on Friday, 18 February.

Cricket West Indies president Dave Cameron has hit out at the "crippling decision" to ban captain Jason Holder from the third Test against England. Holder has been given a one-match suspension for his side's slow over-rate during their second-Test victory. Cameron says the rule "ought to be modified". "We will of course abide by the ruling, but have to wonder if such punitive action at a pivotal stage of the series is good for cricket," he said.

Former Zimbabwe Cricket director Enock Ikope has been given a 10-year ban from the game for corruption. Ikope was found guilty of breaching three counts of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption code. His suspension follows a 20-year ban for Rajan Nayer, a former Zimbabwe cricket official, in March 2018. The ICC said Ikope failed to cooperate with its investigation, and deleted data from his mobile phone before handing it over. The charge was linked to the 2017 West Indies tour fix attempt when Nayer offered Zimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer $30,000 to fix the result of the two-Test series.

A countdown clock for the end of an over and a standard ball in Test cricket are among changes that have been suggested by a group of leading figures in the sport. The MCC World Cricket committee has proposed playing the World Test Championship, which begins with this year's Ashes, with a standardised ball. The committee is an independent panel that can propose changes to the laws. Three different brands of red ball are currently used in Tests. A Dukes ball is used for Tests in England and West Indies, while the SG ball is used in India. All other countries play the longer format with a Kookaburra ball. The committee - which includes ex-Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne and former England captain Mike Gatting - said the "balance between bat and ball is crucial".

The World Cup game against West Indies was a dangerous one for England. Up until the meeting in Southampton, the Windies had suggested they could be possible semi-finalists. Even though there were questions about their fitness and mobility in the field, they were a threat to England through the penetration of their bowling and destruction of their batsmen. That England dealt with them so comfortably - an eight-wicket win with almost 17 overs to spare - after losing both captain Eoin Morgan and opener Jason Roy to injuries, was really impressive. Morgan's men looked like a team determined to push on to the semi-finals, while West Indies were listless and devoid of energy.

England bowler James Anderson will miss next week's second Ashes Test at Lord's due to the calf injury that curtailed his involvement in the series opener. The 37-year-old was passed fit for the Edgbaston Test despite hurting the same calf playing for Lancashire last month. But Anderson managed just four overs on the opening morning before aggravating his right calf and did not bowl again as Australia won by 251 runs. England's record Test wicket-taker will be "reassessed on an ongoing basis".

Pakistan are not renewing the contract of head coach Mickey Arthur, who is a potential replacement for England's outgoing Trevor Bayliss. South African Arthur, 51, has been in charge since May 2016 and led Pakistan to the 2017 Champions Trophy title. However, they failed to reach the semi-finals of this summer's World Cup. Bowling coach Azhar Mahmood, batting coach Grant Flower and trainer Grant Luden will also leave their roles, the Pakistan Cricket Board has announced.

Coach Justin Langer admitted Steve Smith's injury at Lord's reminded him of the tragic death of Australia batsman Phillip Hughes. Smith was struck on the neck by England fast bowler Jofra Archer and retired hurt, before returning to make 92. Hughes died aged 25 in November 2014, two days after being hit by a ball when batting in a domestic match. "There's obviously some rough memories of a blow like that, there's no fun in it," Langer said.

It is England's 12th lowest Test total.
England were bowled out for 67 on the second day of the third Test by Australia, who are on the verge of retaining the Ashes. A combination of relentless Australia bowling and awful home batting sent England to their lowest total against Australia since 1948. Pace bowler Josh Hazlewood took 5-30, while Joe Denly, with 12, was the only England batsman to reach double figures at Headingley. It left England 112 runs behind Australia's first-innings total of 179 and needing the sort of comeback they famously pulled off on the same ground in 1981 to have a hope of regaining the urn. Australia, the holders, need only a drawn series to retain the Ashes and would go 2-0 up with two matches to play if they go on to seal victory in Leeds.

Captain Joe Root says England must build towards winning the Ashes in Australia in 2021-22 after failing to regain the urn this summer. England are 2-1 down and cannot take the Ashes back from the holders even if they win the fifth Test at The Oval, which begins on Thursday. "We have to use the next two-and-a-half years to focus on putting in a winning tour down under," said Root. "That's a real incentive for everyone, to be part of something special there." England were beaten in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, meaning Australia have an unassailable lead and will leave the UK with the urn for the first time since 2001. It also ended England's hopes of adding the Ashes to the World Cup they won earlier this summer.

There was also a half-century for uncapped batsman Dan Lawrence (58) and Joe Denly scored 48, while James Anderson picked up two wickets. The practice game is England's first top-level cricket since the coronavirus outbreak began.

West Indies must try and win the Tests against England in four days because they cannot last five days, says legendary batsman Brian Lara. The three-Test series starts on Wednesday at Southampton. The tourists have a strong fast bowling line-up but their batsmen average only 23.59 in 19 Tests since their most recent tour of England in 2017. "They have to be able to pounce immediately," said Lara, who will be part of the BBC highlights programme. "England are not beaten very easily at home and are overwhelming favourites."

Cricket's first Test match in four months begins today, when England take on West Indies in Southampton. The last Test anywhere was in early March in New Zealand. England's last Test was in January, and West Indies' was in November. The five-day game beginning today will have no fans, English umpires (instead of overseas umpires being flown in) and players are banned from using saliva on the ball. Both teams have been in "bio-secure" environments for two weeks before the match. "I know there is not going to be anybody in the crowd to hear or get energy from, but we can't use the lack of crowd as an excuse not to get up for this game," said England's Ben Stokes.

Criticism that Jofra Archer doesn't bowl at top speed often enough is "out of order", says former England captain Michael Vaughan. The 25-year-old bowled an exhilarating spell on the final day of the first Test against West Indies in Southampton, but his 3-45 could not prevent England falling to a four-wicket defeat. Vaughan, who believes it is "impossible" to consistently bowl in excess of 90mph, said: "I'd have him in my team all the time." Speaking on the BBC Radio 5 Live Tuffers and Vaughan podcast, Vaughan added: "When I see those spells like I did yesterday, you just know he's got that point of difference."

Postponing this year's T20 World Cup in Australia "would make sense", says Scotland head coach Shane Burger. Scotland have qualified for the event which is due to run from 18 October to 15 November. But with Melbourne - one of the host cities - in a six-week lockdown because of a rise in coronavirus cases, a postponement is likely. "To get 16 teams coming into a country with fans, it just seems very unrealistic," said Burger.

Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has been banned from all cricket for eight years for corruption offences. The International Cricket Council (ICC) found that Streak, 47, engaged with an Indian man known as 'Mr X' during his time coaching Zimbabwe and in Twenty20 leagues across Asia. Streak passed on information on matches and contacts details of players, including one national team captain. In return, he received two Bitcoins and an iPhone for his wife. Streak, a former pace bowler, is Zimbabwe's all-time leading wicket-taker and once took 6-87 in a Test against England to earn a place on the Lord's honours board. He also had spells in county cricket with Warwickshire and Hampshire.

A number of overseas cricketers have ended their time in the Indian Premier League in order to return home amid Covid-19 concerns. India has been reporting more than 300,000 cases for days, setting new daily records. Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and Andrew Tye have all ended the season early. While India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also said he was taking a break from the league to support his family. Tye, who was with Rajasthan Royals, flew to Sydney on Sunday, citing the “stress of bubble life” and concerns about borders closing in Australia. "There's definitely concerns. A lot of guys have been in touch once they've realised I was leaving,” he told Australian radio station SEN. A number of Australia's top players remain in India, including batsmen Steve Smith and David Warner, and paceman Pat Cummins.

The group, which includes Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and brothers Sam and Tom Curran, will quarantine for 10 days in government-approved hotels.
Limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan is still in India, along with pace bowler Chris Jordan and batsman Dawid Malan.
They are expected to leave the country within the next 48 hours.

A group of counties have written to the England and Wales Cricket Board about the possibility of hosting the remainder of the Indian Premier League. The Twenty20 tournament was suspended on Tuesday after several positive coronavirus tests among players. There is no suggestion that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking for a new venue. Cricinfo reported that Warwickshire, Surrey and the Marylebone Cricket Club (Lord's) are the interested parties. There were reports that Lancashire were involved, although it is understood they have not offered their Old Trafford home as a potential venue.

Marsh also played 92 one-day internationals before retiring in 1984 and served as Australia men's chairman of selectors until 2016. "Rod is an influential figure in Australian cricket and has been so for more than 50 years," the Australian Cricketers Association said.

England's new entertaining style took a bizarre turn when Stuart Broad was hit for the most expensive over in Test history by India number 10 Jasprit Bumrah. A total of 35 runs came from Broad's set, beating the previous record of 28, which had occurred three times. In chaotic, comedic and downright daft scenes on the second morning of the fifth Test at Edgbaston, Bumrah swiped two sixes and four fours. Broad's plight was made worse by one of the sixes coming off a no-ball and another delivery going for five wides. It meant Bumrah, a tailender with a Test average of six, set a batting record against a bowler who had just claimed his 550th career wicket.
