Former India cricketer R Ashwin has urged cricket's governing bodies to introduce tougher regulations after Kieron Pollard's withdrawal from the SA20 2027 season.

India continued their dominance over New Zealand with a convincing six-wicket win in the third T20I in Wellington, securing an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the series.

India could receive a timely boost ahead of the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, with Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant likely to feature in the third unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Lincoln.
