England have confirmed their playing XI for the first of the three-match ODI series against the West Indies. This series also marks the start of Harry Brook's captaincy era in white-ball cricket, and the hosts have taken a massively surprising decision, pushing Jamie Smith to open the innings alongside Ben Duckett. Phil Salt has been dropped from England's ODI setup after the Champions Trophy debacle and Smith has now filled the vacant spot at the top of the order. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/england-announce-playing-xi-for-first-odi-vs-west-indies-pick-new-opener-2025-05-28-992256
Former India batting coach Vikram Rathour feels Rinku Singh has good enough technique to play Test cricket for India as well. Rinku has so far played two ODIs and 20 T20Is for India and has majorly played the role of a finisher. He recently featured in the T20I series against Zimbabwe and was also amongst the reserves in the T20 World Cup which India won in the West Indies last month.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/former-india-batting-coach-backs-rinku-singh-to-play-tests-for-india-2024-07-16-942032
