With the ongoing second Ashes Test heating up and reaching its business end, former cricketers Murali Kartik, Michael Vaughan, and Mark Waugh provided their take on the enthralling clash. Meanwhile, India veteran keeper-batter Dinesh Karthik took to his social media to wish journalists on the occasion of 'World Sports Journalist Day'.

Elsewhere, legendary Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga congratulated the Lankan Lions on qualifying for the ODI World Cup 2023 following their impressive win against Zimbabwe. On the other hand, former India spinner Pragyan Ojha drew parallels between West Indies and Italy football team after enduring a painful elimination from the Qualifiers, as he opined on the Windies looking at a brighter future.

Italy's absence in the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups, despite being four-time champions, serves as a positive for West Indies' game development. It encourages growth. The #WIvsIND series could be the catalyst for a fresh beginning! #mindset 😇
