Partnership good for West Indies cricket

Sat, Jun 22, '13

West Indians will get more opportunities to assess their team in the 50-over version of the game in a triangular tournament which begins at Sabina Park late next week.

India, with an exciting array of hugely talented young batsmen, and Sri Lanka will join West Indies in the first such tournament of its type in the Caribbean. As fate would have it, the two Asian countries are the finalists in the Champions Trophy set for tomorrow in England.

Happily, the triangular tournament comes amidst growing evidence of harmony and consensus at the leadership level in West Indies cricket.

Injured Dilshan out of West Indies tri-series

Fri, Jun 21, '13

Tillakaratne Dilshan, who injured his right calf during the Champions Trophy semi-final against India in Cardiff on Thursday, has been ruled out of the tri-series in the West Indies starting June 28.

According to the Sri Lankan team spokesperson, scans revealed Dilshan had suffered a second degree tear and has been advised four to six weeks of recovery time. It is understood a replacement will be announced later today. The replacement is likely to be picked from the Sri Lanka A team, currently touring the Caribbean.

Dilshan had looked positive against India, even hitting consecutive boundaries against Umesh Yadav but seemed to have been in immediate pain after he tried to flick a delivery to midwicket in the same over, pulling the calf muscle. Though he took painkillers, the pain forced him to retire hurt the next over. Dilshan then returned in the penultimate over of the innings but was rendered unfit.

Narine holds on to Number 1

Wed, Jun 19, '13

By CMC.

LONDON - West Indies off spinner Sunil Narine has maintained his number one position in the ODI bowling rankings following the first round of the ICC Champions Trophy in England.

After taking five wickets in three games (Ave: 26.0, Econ: 4.81), Narine remained on 764 points.

But distance was created between himself and the man whose number one position he had earlier dislodged, Pakistani Saeed Ajmal, who dropped 27 points to 729 to join England’s Steven Finn tied for second.

Narine is also the top T20 bowler on the ICC player rankings.
