Australia won a hat-trick of one-day World Cups between 1999-2007 and, going by their heady success in recent global events, they are close to recreating that 'golden era'. Under Pat Cummins, they won the World Test Championship title and the one-day World Cup last year - beating a formidable India in both the finals. That they run the world's richest T20 league and yet have not won a 20-overs World Cup since the inaugural edition in 2007 does not sit well with the fans. Co-hosts West Indies will also be in the reckoning having handed the coaching reins to Daren Sammy, who led them to both of their T20 World Cup titles. The ninth edition of the tournament will feature a record 20 teams, including the United States, who will be making their World Cup debut as the co-hosts of the event.

I’m really alive! They are “antelopes, gazelles,” that will bear Douglas alongside the Green Town trolley, through the ravine, into the broad country fields. Leaderboard 2In Farewell Summer, the summer acquiesces to fall and the tennis shoes are damp with the swell of autumn rain. So find me sprawled in the grass beneath a dome of sky in Boston Common with Dandelion Wine open on my chest. I will be thinking of these days so long-lasting and so quickly gone, living and hopefully feeling myself alive.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Md Habibur Rahman says that, despite identifying the killers of MP Anwarul Azim, it is not yet clear why he was killed.

REUTERSA man rides a motorcycle with a roof to protect himself from a heatwave on the street in Ahmedabad, India, May 25, 2024. A red alert implies a "very high likelihood" of people developing "heat illness and heat stroke", and calls for "extreme care" for vulnerable people, according to the India Meteorological Department. India has been grappling with unusually high temperatures this summer, and the weather department has said "heatwave to severe heatwave" conditions are likely to continue in several parts, including the capital, through Wednesday. India declares a heatwave when the maximum temperature of a region is 4.5 C to 6.4 C higher than usual, while a severe heat wave is declared when the maximum temperature is 6.5 C higher than normal or more. Local weather stations in Delhi's Mungeshpur and Narela neighbourhoods recorded a temperature of 49.9 degrees Celsius on Tuesday - an all time record for the city and 9 C above normal.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told The Economist that alliance members should let Ukraine strike deep into Russia with Western weapons, a view supported by some NATO members but not by the United States. Putin said Ukrainian strikes on Russia with long-range weapons would need Western satellite, intelligence and military help - so the West would be directly involved. Speaking of NATO members in Europe, Putin said that small countries there "should be aware of what they are playing with", as they had small land areas and very dense populations. "This is a factor that they should keep in mind before talking about striking deep into Russian territory," Putin said. Ukraine says it should be able to hit behind Russian lines, including against Russian sovereign territory, to fight back.
