Indian conditions help keep calm, allow putting away yorkers: Matthew Wade

The experienced wicketkeeper batter smashed an unbeaten 45 off 21 balls after Cameron Green's 61 off 30 balls as the visitors made short work of a daunting target on Tuesday night. As many as 55 runs were needed off the last four overs but Wade found boundaries at will to avoid a tense finish. Talking about his role as a finisher, the 34-year-old Wade said experience has made him a lot wiser and he doesn't rush into playing attacking strokes. "The run rate dictates way you have to play. Grounds like we play in India, you hit the ball in the ground and you can still find the boundaries that puts a lot of pressure on the bowlers," said Wade in the post-match press conference.

Australian vice-captain Rachael Haynes retires from international cricket

Australian women's cricket team star batter and vice- captain Rachel Haynes on Thursday announced her retirement from international cricket, bringing the curtains down on an illustrious career. The 35-year-old southpaw, who made her international debut back in 2009, represented her country in six Tests, 77 ODIs, and 84 T20Is.

"You've challenged me as a player, helped me grow as a person and most importantly, made cricket fun," she added.
