    South Africa will play three Twenty20 internationals, five ODIs and four Tests on a 72-day tour of India this year, according to the schedule released today. The tour, which runs from September to December, will be South Africa's longest trip to India and will feature their first Twenty20 international against India in India and the first four-Test series between the two teams in India.

    Banglasdesh are 246-8 at the end of Day 1 in the 2nd Test against South Africa in Mirpur
    Banglasdesh 246-8 (Rahmin 65, Duminy 3-27, Steyn 3-30)

    South Africa pace bowler Dale Steyn has become the fastest player to take 400 Test wickets, in terms of balls bowled. Steyn's 400th scalp was Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal, caught at slip by captain Hashim Amla.

    Sri Lanka left-arm seamer Chanaka Welegedara has migrated to Australia after being overlooked for the home Test series against Pakistan. The move makes a Sri Lanka comeback highly unlikely.

    The sanctions against Pakistan's Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt will expire on September 1, the ICC has confirmed. That means the trio, who were banned for their role in spot-fixing on Pakistan's tour to England in 2010, can return to competitive cricket - including international cricket - from September 2.
