Cummins should not be in Australia's XI for T20 World Cup; bring in young Green to open innings: Mark Waugh
Cummins went wicket-less in Australia's 89-run loss to New Zealand in the Super 12 opener on October 22 and managed just one wicket for 36 runs in the game against Sri Lanka, which the hosts won by seven wickets to put their World Cup campaign back on track. Green has been drafted into the 15-member squad as a replacement for reserve wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, who suffered a freak injury on the golf course two days before the start of the Super 12 stage.
ICC events' "amazing stage" makes the gears go up a couple, says Boult on big win against Australia
While New Zealand have been right up there contending for the trophy in virtually every ICC tournament, their bilateral series record has not been at the same level, as has been recently witnessed in the T20I Tri-series played at home or the fixture against Australia in Cairns recently. Their performance, though, in ICC events has surprised experts, with the team finishing runners-up in the 2021 edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE, emerging ICC World Test champions and finishing second best against England in the 2019 Cricket World Cup, to name a few.
Hunt for new West Indies coach likely to begin soon with ODI World Cup next year and T20 showpiece at home in 2024
It was a disappointing tournament for the two-time champions, who won just won match -- against Zimbabwe in the preliminary group stage -- and were bundled out in the First Round, with Brandon King emerging the highest run-getter (79) and Alzarri Joseph managing six wickets. This pretty much sums up how pedestrian the two-time champions were in Australia.
Cam Green will have to wait for his turn; don't agree with Ponting's suggestion: Mitch Marsh
Green is also in sublime form and was recently included in the 15-member squad after reserve wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis suffered a freak injury on his right hand while playing golf and was ruled out of the T20 World Cup. Ponting has supported Green's inclusion following Australia's humiliating 89-run loss to New Zealand in the Super 12 opener on October 22, saying he could really blow the World Cup open for the hosts.
Australia likely to go with the same XI v Sri Lanka that lost to New Zealand, indicates Mitchell Marsh

After averaging 92.6mph against Afghanistan, Mark Wood wants to keep pushing the boundaries
England thrashed Afghanistan by five wickets in their opening game with Wood having figures of 2/23 even as Sam Curran came up with a record feat, taking five wickets and giving away just 10 runs. "I wasn't really aware of how quickly I was bowling," Wood was quoted as saying by Daly Mail. "I feel I have more in the tank than that. I struggled in my first couple of overs because I was slipping quite a bit.
We thrive in pressure situations, says Stoinis as Australia face do-or-die situation against Sri Lanka

ICC bowled over by Virat Kohli's incredible batting, tweets 'The King is back'
After Virat Kohli's epic 82 not out in 53 balls, the official Twitter handle of the International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a graphic showing Kohli sitting on a throne. "The King is back...Take a bow, Virat Kohli," the ICC wrote. Kohli came to the crease in the second over after opener K.L Rahul (4) was undone by Naseem Shah and things looked tense for India when a fired-up Haris Rauf removed Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. India were tottering 31/3 after the end of Power-play.
Inglis's loss is significant; bringing Green as replacement the right decision: Adam Gilchrist
Green beat the likes of Alex Carey, Josh Philippe, Ben McDermott and Nathan Ellis for the spot that unexpectedly became available in the 15-member squad. "It's an opportune time to get Green in," Gilchrist said on SEN WA Breakfast on Friday. "I don't think we should take too lightly that Inglis is more than a wicketkeeper. He's a versatile batting option that can slide up and down that order from one to seven.
