12-Year-Old Cricketer Hogs Limelight Claiming Double Hat-trick In One Over

Cricket is an amazing game! From batting masterclass to sensational bowling to breathtaking fielding, it certainly has everything to impress the spectators. It is the impact of back-to-back outstanding performances from players and teams that records are made and broken every now and then, be it in international cricket, domestic or local tounaments. As of latest, an England teenager has become the talk of the town after claiming six wickets in six balls while bowling for Bromsgrove Cricket Club against Cookhill this month.

12-year-old junior player Oliver Whitehouse was on top of his game during the clash against Cookhill as he claimed a double hat-trick in one over to stun the crowd.

"It's just unbelievable," the teenager told BBC.

"The first ball I didn't expect to happen as I thought I was going to bowl a wide," Whitehouse said, adding, "I just couldn't believe it, I got six wickets in an over. It's just unbelievable."

Meanwhile, his mother Pippa said: "It was just unbelievable and every time someone was being bowled out his friends were giving him high fives and racing round. It was lovely."

Talking about world cricket, Australia kicked off their Ashes 2023 campaign against England at Edgbaston on Friday. Host skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bat against Australia.

The Pat Cummins-led side was crowned with the World Test Championship title after beating India by 209 runs in the final recently. The game was dominated by the Pat Cummins-led side for the majority part and India barely had their moments of joy.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...
