International League Twenty20 (ILT20) side Sharjah Warriors have signed up hard-hitting all-rounder Marcus Stoinis for the upcoming season, making the 33-year-old the first signing from Australia.

Star all-rounder moeen ali sees nothing wrong in rival teams trying to "copy" the much-talked-about England template in white-ball cricket following their resounding success in global events.

Australia, fuelled by hundreds from Travis Head and David Warner, crushed England by 221 runs in the third one-day international to sweep the series in front of largely empty stands at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Tuesday.

Travis Head belted 152 and David Warner 106 as Australia scored a formidable 355-5 in the third and final one-day international against England on Tuesday as they look to sweep the series.

Former Australian captain Ian Chappell feels Ben Stokes the Test captain has plenty to learn from his match-winning performances in the T20 World Cup.

A battling 94 from Steve Smith saw Australia to a series win against England with a game to spare after a 72-run victory in the second one-day international in Sydney on Saturday.

Adil Rashid's game changing performances in England's T20 World Cup winning campaign could certainly make him a hot property at the upcoming IPL auction in Kochi on December 23.

England skipper Jos Buttler hailed Ben Stokes as "a true match-winner" on Sunday after the allrounder unbeaten 52 helped steer them past Pakistan to win the T20 World Cup.

A clinical England produced an all-round show as they humbled Pakistan by five wickets at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in the T20 World Cup final to lift their second title. A power-packed joint bowling effort followed by a Ben Stokes special with the bat helped England lay their hands on the title after 12 years. With the win, England extended their white-ball dominance -- winning the 50-over World Cup in 2019 and clinching the T20 World Cup in 2022.

Ben Stokes (52*) starred with the bat as England beat Pakistan by five wickets to win the T20 World Cup title in Melbourne on Sunday. Opting to field, England dished out a clinical bowling performance to restrict Pakistan to a below-par 137 for 8 before chasing down the target with six balls to spare at the MCG.

A determined Babar Azam will be aiming to secure his seat beside the great Imran Khan in Pakistan cricket's Hall of Fame as his team takes on a formidable England in the T20 World Cup final on Sunday.

Power hitting will rule T20 cricket going forward and the Indian team needs to play a brand of cricket where big-hitting batters contribute with the ball for the balance of the side, former India coach Anil Kumble has suggested.

The Indian cricket fraternity never gives up on the opportunity to take a jibe at England for the way they won the 2019 ODI World Cup at home. It wasn't Ben Stokes' fault that the throw in the last over went to the fence after hitting his bat and it wasn't the ECB that had formulated the rule that a champion would be decided by the number of boundaries hit if it's a tie after the Super Over.

England must win more silverware to be considered a truly great limited-overs team, all-rounder moeen ali said, as the 2010 Twenty20 World Cup champions prepare to face India on Thursday in the semi-finals of the latest edition.

Moeen made his Test debut in 2014 and went on to score 2,914 runs in 64 Tests at an average of 28.29, picking up 195 wickets. The 35-year-old announced his retirement from the longest format of the game in September last year.

Dawid Malan's 82 and disciplined bowling from England helped the visitors win the second Twenty20 international against Australia by eight runs Wednesday to seal the series and give them a confidence boost heading into the World Cup.

Dawid Malan smashed 82 and shared a crucial 92-run stand with moeen ali as England compiled 178/7 in the second Twenty20 against Australia in Canberra on Wednesday.

England white ball captain Jos Buttler and his deputy moeen ali said that running out a non-striker for backing too is not "their thing" and that they would rather call the player back if any of their teammates used it as a mode of dismissal.

England's limited-overs captain Jos Buttler said he is making good progress in his recovery from a calf injury but will not rush his return ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup, which begins in just over two weeks. The 32-year-old, who has not played since Aug. 18 after sustaining the injury playing in The Hundred, is currently with the England squad in Pakistan, watching the team from the sidelines in their seven-match T20 series.

Harry Brook may already have done enough in Pakistan to have "nailed on" his place in England's Twenty20 World Cup XI, said former captain Nasser Hussain. The 23-year-old Brook arrived in Karachi with just four caps.
