Live Streaming & Match Schedules

Missing a game because you can’t find a broadcast? You’re not alone. The UAE vs Bangladesh T20I series in Sharjah on May 17 and 19, 2025, didn’t land on Indian TV, but you could still catch it on FanCode. Both matches started at 8:30 PM IST, so set a reminder and fire up the app a few minutes early.

If you’re tracking the Pakistan‑West Indies Test in Multan, the streaming options are a patchwork of regional services. Check your local provider for the exact channel, or use the official board’s live‑stream link if you have a subscription. The same goes for the England‑India Lord’s Test – KL Rahul’s steady innings kept India in the hunt, and you can replay his knock on the board’s video portal.

For T20 fans, the Warner Park pitch is set to be a batter’s playground when West Indies take on Australia in the third T20I. The match will be live on the regional sports network, and you can stream it through the broadcaster’s app if you prefer a phone screen.

Squad Announcements & Ranking Moves

Pakistan made a bold move for the 2025 Asia Cup by naming Salman Ali Agha as captain and dropping Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. The fresh leadership aims to give the side a power‑hitting edge ahead of the next World T20. Shaheen Shah Afridi also returns, adding more pace to the mix.

On the individual side, Mohammad Haris vaulted 210 spots to land at No. 30 in the ICC T20I batting rankings after smashing a 46‑ball 107* against Bangladesh. His blast wasn’t just a personal milestone – it lifted the whole Pakistan batting line‑up in the rankings.

Sri Lanka’s 16‑man ODI squad for the Australia series blends youth and experience. Watch the spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana make an impact, while Pathum Nissanka leads the top order. The squad shows a clear intent to dominate both with the bat and ball.

South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj claimed his first ODI five‑for against Australia in Cairns, turning the match on its head. A 5‑33 spell on an otherwise pace‑friendly surface proves spin can still win games when used smartly.

Keep an eye on controversial moments too. Shaheen Afridi faced an ICC fine after a heated clash with Matthew Breetzke in the Tri‑Nation series, but avoided a ban. These incidents often spark debate over player conduct and the sport’s disciplinary rules.

Finally, you might have heard about Harshit Rana becoming India’s first concussion substitute during the England T20I. The move sparked a chat about player safety and the evolving ICC protocols.
