England have just pulled a Shikha Pandey on Kate Cross Dropped from their World Cup squad after pretty much being their best pacer through the World Cup cycle Has bowled some great spells in India too in the past

Apart from Kate Cross, Alice Davidson-Richards the other surprising omission from England's World Cup squad Has almost always done well for England in ODIs and her batting in the last 12 months for England has been sublime

Gouher Sultana has retired from all forms of cricket One of India's most skillful spinners ever Up there among India's best bowlers ever in women's ODIs Stepped into the big shoes of Neetu David so well

Gouher Sultana remains the only Indian woman to take 4 wicket hauls in each of her last 2 ODIs Played her last international aged only 26 but went on to play for another decade on the domestic circuit for Bengal & Hyderabad Domestic stalwart who always helped youngsters

The only Indian bowler to take more ODI wickets than Gouher Sultana at a better average than her is Neetu David That's how good she was

T20 wasn't her strongest format but among India bowlers who've bowled in at least 25 T20I innings, the only two with a better economy rate than Gouher Sultana are Ekta Bisht & Jhulan Goswami

My ideal Australia squad for ODI World Cup Alyssa Healy Georgia Voll Ellyse Perry Beth Mooney Annabel Sutherland Ash Gardner Phoebe Litchfield Tahlia McGrath Alana King Georgia Wareham Megan Schutt Kim Garth Darcie Brown Jess Jonassen Grace Harris

Australia have used just 17 players in this ODI World Cup cycle By contrast, India have used 37 & England have used 27 So, so tough to even break into the squad

The Women's ODI World Cup final will be in Mumbai Mumbai replaces Bengaluru as one of venues Great news for the plethora of women's cricket fans in Mumbai espncricinfo.com/story/women-s-…

Feel for Bengaluru but DY Patil is one stadium that has had the best atmosphere for India women matches of late Fully deserving hosts It'll be the 3rd Indian stadium to host a women's ODI World Cup final after Eden Gardens and Cricket Club of India

Neetu David's checkered tenure as chairperson of the Selection Committee has come to an end All of David, Aarti Vaidya and Renu Margrate's terms end in September Shyama Shaw will be joined on the panel by four new selectors

What a couple of games Jess Jonassen is having in #TheHundred 4/10 v table toppers Southern Brave in the last match 44 off 17 and a maiden set today Should really be in Australia's World Cup squad

No currently active cricketer whose country has qualified for the ODI World Cup this year has more wickets than Kate Cross among those who haven't been selected in the squad England going with a completely revamped pace attack from the last World Cup

Think England's starting XI in this World Cup will be the same as the XI that played the final in the last edition barring the Big 3 of Katherine Sciver-Brunt, Anya Shrubsole & Kate Cross That's 377 ODI wickets

Shafali Verma again doing well in first class cricket 52 off just 58 balls for Shafali in the second dig after scoring 35 in the first innings v Australia A Red ball definitely her best format
