The India U-19 team faced England in the first youth ODI of the ongoing five-match series on Friday (June 27) and secured a win by six wickets. In the match played at County Ground in Hove, India bowled England out for 174 runs after Thomas Rew opted to bat first and then, riding on Vaibhav Suryavanshi's 48-run knock, chased down the target of 175 runs in just 24 overs for the loss of four wickets.
Suryavanshi, who made headlines for his attacking show in IPL 2025, faced 19 balls during his stay at the crease on Friday and hammered 3 fours and 5 sixes. He added 71 runs in 7.3 overs for the first wicket with captain Ayush Mhatre (21 runs from 30 balls).

After Suryavanshi's dismissal, wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu scored 45 runs from 34 balls for the visitors to seal a big win.
Earlier in the first half of the match, Rocky Flintoff, who is the son of former England captain and legendary all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, impressed with his batting. Rocky came out to bat at No. 4 for the English team and, with the help of three fours and three sixes, scored 56 runs from 90 balls.
For India, Kanishk Chouhan picked up three wickets for 20 runs in 10 overs, and two England batters each were sent back to the pavilion by Henil Patel, RS Ambrish, and Mohamed Enaan.
Suryavanshi's performance in IPL 2025
14-year-old Suryavanshi was signed for Rs 1.10 crore by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals against Lucknow Super Giants in Jaipur on April 19, 2025, and scored six on the first ball he faced.
In his third IPL match, which was played against Gujarat Titans at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on April 28, 2025, Suryavanshi entered his name in the history books by becoming the youngest batter to score a century in T20s.
He crossed the 100-run mark in just 35 balls. By scoring a 35-ball century for the Riyan Parag-led side in that fixture, he also became the fastest Indian batter to score a hundred in the world's richest franchise cricket league.

How rejected South Asian players are finding a pathway into County system
Tom Brown didn't want the findings of his doctoral research to gather dust in some library, nor did he fancy the idea of being on television talking about his work. A competent club cricketer in multicultural Birmingham, and later Warwickshire's performance coach, Brown's PhD was about a statistic that was a riddle to him. On the English cricket circuit, he would often hear that British South Asians form 30 percent of those playing recreational games but only 5 percent of them pursue it professionally. Brown's academic fact-finding showed that the problem wasn't with the cricket-crazy South Asians. What needed to change was the system, which favoured privately-educated and white cricketers. That's when the doer in him got busy. 'As a coach, researcher and player, I've gone through the worries of the system. I felt responsible; if I didn't do it, who is going to do it?' he tells The Indian Express. Brown, with the help of his cricket contacts, would start the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA), an initiative that brings non-contracted brown cricketers – some rejected, some overlooked, some disillusioned – back on the radar. Helping him in his ventures, over the years, have been the South Asian community's role models like Kabir Ali, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid and Owais Shah, players who Brown had shared the cricket field with. In about three-and-half years since its inception, SACA has become England's most productive assembly line for the counties. 'We have 14 guys who have professional contracts, making us one of the most successful academies in the country, maybe the world …,' he laughs. He isn't joking, merely stating facts. The SACA website celebrates the graduation of every pupil. There is Aman Rao, the 6'6' pacer with natural bounce, who has joined Gloucestershire; Vansh Jani, the batsman with four big hundreds, now plays for Warwickshire; Zaman Akhter is said to be England's fastest pacer. He turned out for England Lions against the Indians during the ongoing tour. And then there's SACA's grandest success story – the one featuring leg-spinner Jafer Chouhan. Just last month, he was picked for England's ODI team that toured the West Indies. He is on the wish-list of many T20 franchises also. All of these players were weeded out of the system, till SACA gave them a second life. England suddenly has a larger pool and don't be surprised if a spike is seen in South Asian representation. 'We pick players who are 18 and don't have a contract. They are trained. They are also given gym, nutrition and psychological support. We give them basically everything a pro cricket player needs. We form a team that plays county second and main teams in friendlies,' Brown explains. Most importantly, at SACA, they also are sensitive to the culture of the South Asian community, something Brown's research shows had been missing on England's cricketing greens for years. He calls it 'cultural ignorance', different from racial bias. Brown explains with an example that shows the depth of his research. 'If I am training a South Asian kid and he is looking down and not asking questions, I would probably look at him and go, 'well, he's not interested', he hasn't got the right character for this.' I didn't know that that's how they (South Asians) show respect,' he says, pointing how 'cultural ignorance' would have cut short many promising careers. With SACA, those who missed out are returning and the stories of Amar, Vansh, Akhter and Chouhan have lengthened the queue. Last time, Brown says, they got about 500 applications. They shortlisted 60 but could have easily taken in 150 quality players. It was the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) who had funded Brown's research and they have been backing SACA for the last two years. Earlier, it was Birmingham City University. Those picked have quality. 'There was this incident early in the year when 15 of our best players were training. And there were others playing two games, against Yorkshire and Essex at the same time. We won both those games,' he says. It is at such games that the academy boys are spotted and signed by counties. SACA is around to negotiate. 'We create a bit more competition in the market. We tell counties that if you're not going to sign this player, we're going to take him to another county,' he says. When SACA players get signed, Brown is happy but that isn't his most satisfying moment. It's the bonhomie between players from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and others playing as a team. 'When I started this program, people thought it would be very… almost toxic… but the real strength of the programme is the unity of the community. They are really close-knit. They work and help each other achieve this dream of becoming professional cricketers. I think it is so powerful and that's the most rewarding thing for you.' It needed Dr Brown to address English cricket's very brown problem.

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma break world record with stellar partnership vs England
India batters Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana etched their name in the history books with a stellar opening stand during the first T20I against England on Saturday, June 28 at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

Bumrah & Shardul OUT, Kuldeep IN? India's Likely Playing XI For 2nd England Test
Last Updated: The second Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England will be played at Edgbaston from July 2 to 6. The second Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England will be played from July 2 to 6 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. After losing the series opener in Leeds by five wickets, India would like to come up with a big show in the second match and level the series. According to reports in Indian media, star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will miss the second Test as part of his workload management. Bumrah, who is the world's No. 1 Test bowler, was India's best bowler in the series opener. He picked up five wickets in the first innings. In addition to Bumrah, Shardul Thakur is also likely to lose his place in the playing XI. Shardul bowled only six overs for India in the first innings and failed to impress with his batting as well. One out of Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep is likely to replace Bumrah for the second Test. Akash Deep has played seven Tests for India so far, whereas Arshdeep is yet to make his red-ball debut. The left-arm pacer from Punjab is a regular member of India's white-ball teams and also has played county cricket in England. As Shardul's replacement, the team management will have a choice to make between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Kuldeep Yadav. Nitish played all five Tests against Australia in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and in addition to his batting, he can contribute with the ball as well, whereas Kuldeep is India's specialist spinner. Many former greats and experts of the game have batted for Kuldeep's selection in India's playing XI for the second red-ball match in Edgbaston. As far as batting is concerned, Indian team management is unlikely to make any change. As many as four batters—Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant—scored five centuries for India in the first Test, and there will be expectations of a similar performance from them in the second match as well. Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair failed to do much with the bat in Leeds, but they are unlikely to lose their place after just one match. As far as the England team is concerned, Jofra Archer was added to the squad for the second Test on Thursday, and he could make his much-awaited Test return in Edgbaston.
