In cricket news, England's Phil Salt has been the star of the show in the T20I series against West Indies, scoring back-to-back centuries, a first for an English player. His 119 runs in the recent match, the highest individual score for England in men's T20Is, led England to their highest T20I total of 267/3. The match was held in Trinidad, where the West Indies faced an uphill battle, eventually losing to England. Matthew Forde made his T20I debut for West Indies in this match. In the New Zealand vs Bangladesh series, Kyle Jamieson will miss the entire ODI series due to hamstring stiffness. Finn Allen has also been removed from the squad for the second ODI. Adi Ashok, the Auckland Aces leg-spinner, has joined the squad in Nelson. In a notable change, Phil Salt took over wicket-keeping duties from Jos Buttler.
There have been six centuries for England in men's T20Is - two of them by Phil Salt in the last four days ๐คฏ A record-breaking innings in Trinidad ๐ #WIvENG https://t.co/vDA2uyDbx3
