Australia are expecting to have their T20I skipper fit in time for the start of T20 World Cup 2024 even though he is progressing 'a little slower' after his hamstring injury. Marsh was ruled out from the Indian Premier League 2024 last month due to a hamstring injury and is poised to lead the Aussies in the T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/will-mitchell-marsh-get-fit-in-time-for-t20-world-cup-2024-australias-head-coach-gives-big-update-2024-05-07-930069

Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday (May 6) to somehow stay alive in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). With fate no more in their hands, the five-time champions, one can say, have been more or less knocked out of IPL 2024. In that case, with T20 World Cup coming up, should one of India's main bowlers Jasprit Bumrah be rested for the rest of the matches? This is the question being raised but MI batting coach Kieron Pollard has confirmed that no such discussion has taken place yet. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/will-jasprit-bumrah-be-rested-from-ipl-2024-keeping-t20-world-cup-in-mind-kieron-pollard-responds-2024-05-07-930062

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla spoke on the chances of India travelling to Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy in early 2025.

Mumbai Indians might not have more than an outside chance of making it to the playoffs of IPL 2024. But their win and performance of certain players must have pleased the Indian fans with just over three weeks to go for the T20 World Cup. More than anyone, MI skipper Hardik Pandya has been under the scanner for a host of reasons and to make things worse, his form with both bat and ball didn't inspire much confidence either. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/has-t20-world-cup-selection-and-vice-captaincy-led-to-hardik-pandya-s-resurgence-in-ipl-2024-2024-05-07-930046

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Asha Sobhana finally got her chance to make a debut for India in the fourth T20I against Bangladesh. She had received a maiden call-up for the five-match T20I series but was benched in the first three matchs. With India sealing the series with a 3-0 lead, the visitors decided to test their bench strength and accordingly, handed a debut to leg-spinner Asha who was one of the most impressive bowlers in the Women's Premier League (WPL) earlier this year. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/rcb-star-asha-sobhana-creates-all-time-record-for-india-in-t20is-2024-05-06-929866
