Jack Edwards should take the allrounder’s place, with Cameron Green slotted in purely as a batter. The home summer opens in Perth on Friday 13 November without Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood, so the attack leans on whoever can bowl ten overs. Edwards has shown he can, with a five-wicket haul in only his second ODI. […]

Adam Zampa, without doubt. Three ODIs begin in Perth on 13 November, and the hosts will do without their rested pace trio of Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood. That hands the senior role to a 34-year-old leg-spinner. England reply with Adil Rashid, who is older, more decorated in career wickets and noticeably more expensive in these […]

Archer carries the threat, and Atkinson is the question. On 13 November, England start a three-match ODI trip in Perth, with the pair leading a pace attack that has already lost Josh Tongue to a toe injury. Maxwell, Stoinis and Smith have all retired from the format, so the home batting order looks different from […]

Adil Rashid should start, but only if he proves his form is intact. England’s middle overs need a wicket-taking leg-spinner, and Rashid is the one candidate who brings that threat, while Liam Dawson offers control and batting depth from a much smaller body of work. The Australia series will test the case long before the […]

Arshdeep Singh owns the best average there, Jasprit Bumrah the biggest sample, and together they form the core any selector would trust. South Africa will host eight of the twelve grounds at the 2027 tournament, so records on those pitches carry real weight. Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Shami add depth with smaller or older evidence, […]

Left-arm pace gives Australia a different angle against an England top order stacked with right-handers, but the evidence behind that plan is thin. With Hazlewood, Cummins and Starc resting, Johnson is the most natural leader of the attack when the three matches begin on 13 November. Ben Duckett and Joe Root are the batters most […]

Anshul Kamboj was a fair choice for the award, though only narrowly. His 2 for 22 carried an economy of 2.20 and two maidens, the best control among India’s full-quota bowlers. On 4 November 2026 at Eden Park, New Zealand were dismissed for 185, with four wickets for Arshdeep Singh and three for Gurnoor Brar. […]

Gill finishes first. He starts the contest 47 rating points ahead of Mitchell, and the schedule gives both men the same two innings, which hands the advantage to the man already in front. India’s five-wicket win in Auckland on 4 November saw Gill make 37, while Mitchell scored 28 before a run-out by Rohit Sharma […]

Kohli needs 152 more ODI runs in New Zealand to pass Tendulkar’s tally of 821, the best by any Indian in that country, and he has four innings to find them. His 74 from 51 deliveries in Auckland on 4 November set up a five-wicket win and lifted his total from 596 to 670. That […]

Abhishek Sharma is missing from India’s ODI squad because the opening places are already filled, and his 50-over record has not yet matched his T20 fireworks. He was selected only for the T20I group heading to New Zealand, while the ODI party announced on 17 October already carries four openers. A List A average of […]

Arafat Minhas turned a tri-series final into a selection argument. Pakistan, chasing 326 against Sri Lanka in Lahore, needed late power, and the 21-year-old supplied it with 61 off 31 balls from the sixth spot before the hosts got home at 331/7 with nine balls remaining. He went wicketless with the ball, yet he still […]

Fitness and runs are what Kohli and Rohit must show. Virat reaches 39 while the 2027 World Cup is being played, and Rohit turns 40 in April of that year, so the new selectors will weigh the ODIs that remain rather than reputation. The BCCI president has said age is not the criterion, which leaves […]
