ICC Big change in ODI cricket ahead of 2027 World Cup due to......
The new rules were proposed by the ICC's Men's Cricket Committee and passed by the Chief Executive Committee. These rules will be applicable in Tests from June 17, in ODIs from July 2 and in T20Is from July 10.
At present, two new balls are used in an innings, one from each end. According to the new rules, two new balls will be used from the start of the innings till the 34th over. After this, one ball will be used from both ends from the 35th over, which will be chosen by the bowling team.
The ICC says that the purpose of this change is to re-establish the balance between ball and bat. There has long been a complaint that batsmen are getting an excessive advantage.
If the match is reduced to 25 overs per innings or less before the start of the first innings, the bowling team will be given only one new ball for the entire innings.
Under the new concussion rules, teams will nominate five substitute players before the start of the match: As per the new concussion-substitute rules, each team will have to name five substitute players before the start of the match, which will include a wicketkeeper, a batsman, a fast bowler, a spinner and an all-rounder.
In January, India included Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute in place of Shivam Dubey in the fourth T20I against England, which led to controversy. Under the new rules, such controversies will be avoided. If the substitute player also gets injured, the referee can approve an out player on a "like-for-like" basis.

How Many Tests Does Joe Root Need To Beat Sachin Tendulkar's Most Runs Record?
Joe Root has surpassed Dravid, Kallis, and Ponting to become the second-highest run-scorer in Test cricket. How many Tests does he need to go past Sachin Tendulkar? Joe Root is on a record-breaking spree and the biggest record left for him is India great Sachin Tendulkar's for most runs ever in Test cricket — 15,921. On Friday (July 25), he became the second-highest run-scorer in the format with 13380 runs, going past Rahul Dravid (13288), Jaques Kallis (13289), and Ricky Ponting (13378) in the same innings of 121* (201), at Tea in the fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford. The question begs itself — can Root be the one to break Tendulkar's currently 12-year-old record, which many thought would never be touched, which Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and several other greats couldn't come even close to? If he can, how many Tests would he need to do so and etch him at the top of the world? It's difficult to say exactly, but Root has averaged 89 since the start of 2024, and according to CricViz (a sports analytics company), if he maintains that rate, he will need only 29 more Tests to pass Tendulkar and become the format's leading run scorer. Considering England play at least a dozen Tests every year (they played 17 in 2024), he'd need about two and a half years to reach the feat. To put how quick Root is in context, the 17 Tests in 2024 yielded 1556 runs for him. Of course, this is the best-case scenario. Apart from the difficulty of maintaining a purple patch like this for that significant period, Root would also need to keep himself fit. He's 34 and will turn 35 this December, and though he's fit, it'll become progressively arduous for him to maintain fitness, just like Tendulkar, Kallis, and Ponting also faced. However, Tendulkar played 200 Tests, and Ponting 168, while Root is still at 157. Ponting's prediction for Root's records Earlier in the day, Ponting had tipped Root to break his record. He was also asked about the Englishman's chances of going past Tendulkar. 'There's still a fair bit to go," Ponting told ICC. 'What is he, 35? Doesn't look like his passion for the game is going anywhere. His run-scoring passion has probably gone up over the years. Can he chase down Sachin? Let's see. He might as well do that," he added.

South Africa U-19 opener beats Vaibhav Suryavanshi to first-ever 200 in a Youth ODI
South Africa's Jorich van Schalkwyk etched his name into the record books on Friday, July 25, as he became the first player to score a double-century in a Youth ODI. The milestone came during a match against Zimbabwe, where the South Africa Under-19 batter produced a commanding knock to lead his team to a massive Schalkwyk scored 215 runs from just 153 balls in a dominant display that featured 19 fours and six sixes. His performance powered South Africa to a total of 385 runs, which is now their highest team score in Youth ODI achievement was all the more dramatic as it came just days after India's Vaibhav Suryavanshi had expressed his ambition to reach the 200-run mark in youth cricket. Inspired by Shubman Gill's recent century at Edgbaston, Suryavanshi fell short, while van Schalkwyk quietly got the job done. This was van Schalkwyk's second major innings in just three days. Earlier, he had scored an unbeaten 164 against Bangladesh Under-19 in Benoni. On that occasion, he looked well on course for a double-century but was denied by bad light, as South Africa secured a win by 14 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis van Schalkwyk's efforts, the highest individual score by a South African in a Youth ODI belonged to Jacques Rudolph, who made an unbeaten 156 against Nepal in January 2000. On the global stage, van Schalkwyk also broke the previous highest individual score in Youth ODIs, which was Sri Lanka's Hasitha Boyagoda's 191 against Kenya in was eventually dismissed in the 47th over, with Zimbabwe's Shelton Mazvitorera claiming the breakthrough. Despite the heavy target, Zimbabwe had a standout performer with the ball in Tatenda Chimugoro, who picked up six wickets for 62 runs in 7.5 youth cricket continues to evolve, the rise of such high-scoring performances suggests a growing focus on power-hitting at the junior level. With talents like van Schalkwyk and others making headlines, the future of the game looks poised for even greater feats in the years to come.- Ends

Root hits his 38th Test ton, 13 hundreds away from Tendulkar's record of 51
Root has equalled Sangakkara's record for most career Test centuries to place himself joint fourth in the all-time list Aditya Kaushik New Delhi Former England skipper Joe Root continues to enjoy a record-breaking run in the fourth Test of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against India in Manchester. Batting on Day 3 of the Test during England's first innings, Root began the day by surpassing Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis in the all-time list of top Test run-scorers, moving into the number three spot behind only Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting. But the Englishman did not stop there—he converted his strong start into a magnificent century to hand England complete control of the match. This is Root's 38th career Test hundred, taking him level with Kumar Sangakkara in the all-time list of most career Test hundreds at joint fourth. He now needs three more Test hundreds to equal third-placed Ricky Ponting (41 centuries), seven more to match Jacques Kallis (45 centuries), and 13 more to equal Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar's mammoth record of 51 Test centuries.
