   Here is the initial news.

2. As per the latest news, all the biggies of Indian cricket (not the players, just Jay Shah and co.) are in Dubai finalising the deal. Read more here

3. Wondering what kind of string pulling will be required to fit in the rest of the IPL? Pretty much every test playing country will have to change their schedule. It is truly boggling. Read here.

4. Finally a piece on the rise of Middle East as the new home of cricket. Read here.

England vs New Zealand

The series is about to go underway and we can’ thank it enough. Finally some International test cricket. Been a while since Gabba.

1. James Anderson is about to hit 1000 wickets mark. Read here.

2. Neil Wagner is ready (to bounce out England?). Read here.
