21 Apr 25. Burnley 2 Sheffield Utd 1 The Clarets are promoted back to the Premier League just 345 days. Two goals from skipper Josh Brownhill earned Scott Parker’s team a deserved promotion. Tom Cannon scored but it was the fourth defeat in five games for the Blades 🆙

Usman Khawaja has claimed the entire Australia team knew about the use of sandpaper to tamper with the ball in the final Test of their 2018 series with South Africa. In extracts of his autobiography - Sabr - published in the Sydney Morning Herald, the former opening batter said Australia had also used the ball-tampering tactic in the Test before the infamous match in Cape Town.

Exclusive: Jimmy Anderson is now expected to play county cricket next summer (not for Lancashire, obvs!) after changing his mind about retiring. Twelve counties have shown an interest, and it seems he has chosen which one to go for dailymail.com/sport/cricket/…
Jimmy Anderson weighs up retirement U-turn with 12 counties in frame

Jimmy Anderson weighs up retirement U-turn with 12 counties in frame

It is understood Anderson is close to agreeing terms with one of the 12 counties who have approached him since Lancashire decided not to offer him a new deal.
