Bumrah, Rohit named in Wisden's five Cricketers of Year
Wisden named Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Dane van Niekerk, Ollie Robinson, and Devon Conway as their five Cricketers of the Year, and Joe Root and Lizelle Lee as the Leading Cricketers of the Year.
'Root rose above the struggles of England's Test side to produce one of the all-time great performances in a calendar year. His 1,708 runs have been beaten only by Mohammad Yousuf in 2006 and Viv Richards in 1976, and included six hundreds. And he scored his runs in his fifth year as England captain, at which point many of his predecessors had already called it a day,' wrote Lawrence Booth, Editor of the Wisden Almanac.
Chennai replace Milne with Pathirana

'Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have signed Matheesha Pathirana as a replacement for New Zealand pacer Adam Milne for the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Milne suffered a hamstring injury in CSK's first match against Kolkata Knight Riders and has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament,' the IPL said in an official release.
Naseem out of action due to shoulder injury
Naseem Shah has been pushed to the sideline after suffering a shoulder injury while playing for Gloucestershire. He bowled only 11 overs against Northamptonshire before walking off the field, and will miss the next game, against Yorkshire. However, Gloucestershire have confirmed his availability for the T20 Blast.
'Following discussions between the medical teams of both Gloucestershire and the Pakistan Cricket Board, it has been decided that a period of workload management is in Naseem's best interest to allow him to get back to full fitness as quickly and safely as possible,' they said.
Mumbai slip to the seventh defeat
