Most ppl here follow me for cricket reporting and/or bad WCE takes. But for the last 4 yrs, I’ve travelled around the world following 3-on-3 basketball. So I wrote a book via @PitchPublishing on how this quirky game became an Olympic sport. Check it out

Nostalgic day at the WACA, with around 5000 fans expected for WA v England one-dayer.
England have picked Liam Dawson over Adil Rashid, who was mostly overlooked in Pakistan.
Jacob Bethell is not playing in his return from injury.
Cam Bancroft is playing for WA

The Pantheon: Test Cricket's Best 50 Players of All Time is out now.
The book ranks the top players ever, and how they rate against each other.
Lara or Tendulkar? Warne or Murali? Hobbs or Root? Which Caribbean quick was the greatest? And who was the best Test cricketer of all?

Chatted to Sanjay Govil, owner of Washington Freedom & co-owner Welsh Fire, who is eyeing a 50% or 100% stake in a BBL club.
He's set to be in the mix for Renegades, but Hurricanes are firmly on his radar.
Does not plan to rebrand a club he purchases

Once known as a lark, the rebranded Hong Kong Sixes is set to expand into a 'grand slam' style of events.
China, Europe and Africa set to be future stops.
Influential administrators also want the sixes format to be an official ICC format.

Momentum is building for a women's MLC in the US.
Some optimism from powerbrokers that it may happen by the end of the decade, in what would be a significant moment for T20 women's franchise cricket

Interesting insight into Indonesian cricket in this feature from @Shounak_WA
Would expect Bali to host T20 franchise league matches - like the BBL - and co-host a T20 WC in the next decade or so

Good interview from @Shounak_WA with new Chief Executives' Committee Associate member Abhiram Singh Yadav.
His elevation to the influential CEC is another important moment for rising Indonesia, a growing cricket market
cricketfj.com/p/interview-ne…
Indonesia’s Abhiram Singh Yadav has been elected on the influential Chief Executives’ Committee.
He won easily in the by-election in what was a three-person race
Another big step for Indonesia, a rising cricket country with Bali in November to host the ICC quarterly meetings
