In the aftermath of India's narrow defeat to England in the third Test at Lord's, where all-round efforts from Jadeja, Bumrah, and Siraj were praised, the team was invited by King Charles III to Clarence House where the women's team was also present. As the team looks to make changes for the fourth Test, Bumrah may get a well-deserved rest ahead of the crucial match at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the West Indies have invited cricket greats Richards, Lloyd, and Lara to help shape their future while India's women's cricket team's warmup schedule for the World Cup has been announced.
Pujara and Jadeja were in different positions during India's Chase at Lord's, but in a strange coincidence, their positions were similar to the record-breaking partnership they shared in the 2008 Ranji Trophy game.

However, Jadeja's critics questioned his intent, but it was evident that batting with tailenders was a difficult task and losing a partner could have spelled disaster for India's chase against England.

Markus Babbel, former Liverpool defender, believes that the club's signing of Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz is the best signing of the summer transfer window. Despite the whopping British-record fee of £116 million, Babbel asserts that Wirtz's class justifies the price and that even if rivals Manchester United had signed him, he would hold the same sentiment. Wirtz, who spent five years at Leverkusen, is expected to make a huge impact alongside top players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah under manager Arne Slot. The 22-year-old has expressed his ambition to win everything with Liverpool every year.
Despite Liverpool's efforts to secure a £120m deal for striker Alexander Isak, Newcastle remains firm on their decision not to sell him.

Liverpool's move to acquire Isak is also seen as an attempt to disrupt his focus, as he has shown no desire to leave St James' Park.
