With the ODI series already secured after victories in the first two matches against Afghanistan, India have used the opportunity to test different combinations and assess players outside their established core group.
The absence of senior figures Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah has allowed the team management to experiment, particularly in the batting order. Both Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill were given opportunities at No. 3, a position usually occupied by Kohli, and the pair responded with promising performances.
The Boston Celtics could use a player like Chris Cenac Jr. in the 2026 NBA Draft, but they will have to trade up to take him if they want to secure his services. The Houston big man is currently projected to go somewhere between the end of the lottery and where Boston will select with the No. 27 overall pick of the first round.
In his last season at the NCAA level, Cenac put up 9.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and just under a steal per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the floor overall, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc, and a concerning 62.1 percent from the free throw line.
To make the Giannis Antetokounmpo – Boston Celtics trade rumor saga more complex than it already is, the New York Times’ Sam Amick is reporting that the Celtics have interest in a certain New Orleans Pelicans player previously connected to the team should a Greek Freak pursuit not pan out, but also that another Western Conference ball club has eyes for an entirely different Boston starter than the star Celtic being connected to Giannis in recent weeks. There are also rumbles of additional teams being interested in that star Boston forward.

It wasn’t a call that anyone saw coming.
But Patrick Beach didn’t disappoint in Australia’s World Cup opener against Turkiye, making eight saves in a 2-0 win.
Mathew Ryan had been the long-time starter and seemed to be the choice again. He’s still Australia’s nominal captain.
