Steve Harmison, who retired from cricket in 2013, took 226 wickets as a fast bowler for England's national team and was once ranked as the No. 1 bowler in the world. Switching sports is not common in England, and his coaching stint has prompted mutterings that it was all a publicity stunt. Not true, Harmison said.

Australia steamrolled New Zealand in the World Cup 2015 final on Sunday to claim their fifth World title.

Australia and New Zealand will face off in the title clash of World Cup 2015 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Phillip Hughes was hit by a bouncer during an Australian domestic match and was put in induced coma. The batsman passed away two days later - much to the grief of cricket community all over.

Yuvraj Singh wound up on the losing side when he played for India against New Zealand in a Twenty20 international in Chennai this week, but that mattered much less than the fact of his being there at all.

Ajinkya Rahane does not lack power, but that is not his main asset. He scores runs with the same strokes he would use in the longer, slower versions of the game.

Once compulsory viewing, India's cricket team is increasingly driving its fans back home to hit the off button, as defeat follows defeat on its overseas tours.
