All-rounder George Balderson has signed a new contract with Lancashire to run to the end of the 2026 season.
The 23-year-old academy graduate made his debut in 2020 and has played 54 games for the county in red-ball and 50-over cricket. Balderson scored more than 700 runs in County Championship Division One last summer, including two hundreds, and also took 23 wickets. "As a squad we are looking to push on and win silverware now," he said. |

Spinner Shaoib Bashir said the two wickets he took on his England debut will be more "memorable" because of his problems getting into India.
Bashir, 20, is of Pakistani descent and had to return home from England's training camp in Abu Dhabi in order to sort a visa delay. He missed the first Test, but claimed 2-100 as England limited India to 336-6 on the first day of the second. |

England lost Ben Duckett late on day three after being set an enormous 399 to beat India in the second Test in Visakhapatnam.
Duckett made 28 in a stand of 50 with Zak Crawley before offering a bat-pad catch off Ravichandran Ashwin. Crawley remains on 29, alongside the promoted Rehan Ahmed on nine, with England 67-1 and in need of 332 more runs for another astonishing victory. |

Absolutely cracking finish. |

Good to see Ireland have won a test match for the first time today, beating Afghanistan by six wickets. Since playing their first test match in 2018, they had lost seven out of seven.

Former England wicketkeeper Alec Stewart is to leave his role as Surrey director of cricket at the end of 2024.
The 60-year-old is in his 11th year in the role and the club have won the County Championship three times in that period, including last summer. Stewart also won six trophies in 23 years as a Surrey player, including three Championship titles. "Without a doubt, this has been the toughest decision of my working career," he told the club website. "Since November 2013, I have given this job my total commitment and it has been an honour and a privilege to be a part of the greatest cricket club in the world. |

The Test match in the 2025 Women's Ashes in Australia will be a day-night game at the 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The Test returns to a four-day match after it was extended to five days during the 2023 series in England. The pink-ball game, which starts on 30 January, will also end the multi-format series for the first time since it was introduced in 2015. Australia retained the Ashes with an 8-8 draw last year in England. |

England sealed a T20 series victory with a game to spare with a dominant 47-run win over New Zealand in Wellington.
England's imposing 177-3 was set up by opener Maia Bouchier's stunning 91 from only 56 balls. In reply, spinner Charlie Dean took 4-26 as the hosts stumbled to 130-7 from their 20 overs. The White Ferns were left to rue a sloppy fielding performance, dropping Bouchier twice and missing a stumping. |

Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart will be irreplaceable when he leaves the club, says head coach Gareth Batty.
The ex-England captain announced last week that he will stand down after 11 years at the end of the season. Surrey are chasing a third County Championship title in a row this season and have won the competition three times in Stewart's tenure. Stewart scored 40,936 runs, including 67 centuries, in 951 matches for Surrey in a 22-year playing career. |

Day one of Derbyshire's County Championship season opener against Gloucestershire has been abandoned without a ball being bowled because of a waterlogged outfield.
Play had been scheduled to begin at 11:00 BST but the playing surface failed an inspection called for 10:00. Both teams are looking for a first County Championship victory since 2022 after winless campaigns last year. |

England pace bowler Jofra Archer will not play Test cricket until 2025 but this summer's T20 World Cup is "absolutely" a realistic goal, says managing director Rob Key.
Archer, 29, has not played for England in any format since March 2023 because of an elbow injury. The T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States starts on 1 June. |

Kashif Ali scored an accomplished maiden century as Worcestershire made a solid 316-7 against Warwickshire on the opening day of the County Championship season at Edgbaston.
Kashif struck 110 and Gareth Roderick added 68 as the visitors returned to Division One with a strong day's work. New Warwickshire captain Alex Davies chose to bowl but, without Hasan Ali and the injured Liam Norwell, his bowling attack lacked penetration on a good batting pitch and Kashif took advantage in composed fashion with a richly deserved maiden ton. |

Dean Elgar and Jordan Cox made eye-catching debuts for Essex but it was Elgar's fellow South African Dane Paterson who stole the show for Nottinghamshire on the opening day of the Championship season at Trent Bridge.
Opener Elgar, who retired from international cricket earlier this year, looked more than capable of filling the void left by Sir Alastair Cook, defying typical opening-day conditions with a classy 80. He shared a 112-run third-wicket partnership with the talented former Kent batter Cox, who went on to make 84, but Paterson, who flew in only on Wednesday, powered a Nottinghamshire fightback by taking 5-49 with his wily medium pace. |
