South Africa suffered a setback on Thursday as their ODI skipper Temba Bavuma returned home from India ahead of the side's two warm-up games of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.

The Proteas are scheduled to take on Afghanistan and New Zealand in their first and second warm-up games on September 29 and October 2 respectively.

South Africa suffered a setback on Thursday as their ODI skipper Temba Bavuma returned home from India due to personal reasons ahead of the side's two warm-up games of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023.
The Proteas are scheduled to take on Afghanistan and New Zealand in their first and second warm-up games on September 29 and October 2 respectively.
As per an update on South Africa cricket's social media handles, Bavuma has returned to South Africa due to personal reasons.
T20I captain Aiden Markram will be leading the side in the two warm-up clashes in absence of Bavuma, who is likely to rejoin the team ahead of their opening game.
South Africa opens their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka in New Delhi on October 7.
South Africa ODI World Cup squad:

The judge found that the alleged victim was an intelligent witness who did not deliberately give false evidence but was motivated by a desire to paint the cricketer in an unfavorable light.

Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka found 'not guilty' of rape charges in Australian court case

Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka was found not guilty of raping a woman he met on a dating site during the south Asian team's tour of Australia last November.

The judge found that the alleged victim was an intelligent witness who did not deliberately give false evidence but was motivated by a desire to paint the cricketer in an unfavorable light.

Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka was found not guilty of raping a woman he met on a dating site during the south Asian team's tour of Australia last November.
Judge Sarah Huggett acquitted the 32-year-old player as he sat at Sydney's Downing Centre District Court on Thursday listening to the decision.
Huggett found that the alleged victim, who cannot be legally named, was an intelligent witness who did not deliberately give false evidence about the use of a condom but was motivated by a desire to paint the cricketer in an unfavorable light.
&ldquo;I find that the evidence regarding the complaint far from supports the complainant. Rather it undermines the reliability of her evidence,&rdquo; she said.
Gunathilaka and the woman met for drinks at a bar before having pizza together in downtown Sydney and catching a ferry to the woman's home in the city's eastern suburbs.
The woman accused him of various acts of aggression and violence. Police initially brought four charges against the 32-year-old, who was arrested at a city hotel just hours before Sri Lankan team was due to fly out home on November 6.
Prosecutors later dropped three of those charges.
Gunathilaka maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent.
During the judge-alone trial, defense lawyers attacked the credibility of the woman, claiming her story shifted over time and that she edited her version of events to paint Gunathilaka as an aggressive person.
Gunathilaka was on bail during the trial, but was unable to play international cricket or return to his hometown of Colombo in Sri Lanka.
He traveled to Australia with Sri Lanka's ICC T20 World Cup squad last year, but only played in the team's first game before being ruled out of the tournament with a hamstring injury.&nbsp;

This surge in demand is not limited to major cities but has also reached smaller cities, where hotel rooms are selling out fast

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 expected to trigger 150% surge in hotel prices and 80% spike in flight fares

<h2>This surge in demand is not limited to major cities but has also reached smaller cities, where hotel rooms are selling out fast</h2>

Cricket enthusiasts and travellers, brace yourselves for soaring hotel and airline fares during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. According to a recent report by Jefferies, the upcoming World Cup is set to send hotel and flight prices skyrocketing, with average fare increases of 150% and 80%, respectively, on match days.&nbsp;
World Cup Coinciding with Seasonal Peak
The 46-day international cricket event, returning to India after a 12-year hiatus, is scheduled to take place from October 5 to November 19, 2023. Jefferies' report indicates that this coincides with the seasonally strong third quarter for the hospitality industry. The report scrutinized hotel and flight rates across venues hosting matches and revealed an eye-popping average fare hike of 150% for select hotels and 80% for flights compared to the week leading up to match day. Some rates have surged to an astonishing 13 times their standard prices.
Airlines Take Flight on Soaring Fares
Notably, airlines are not immune to this pricing frenzy. Travellers booking flights to attend the World Cup matches can anticipate a substantial 80% increase in fares. This surge in demand is expected to benefit the aviation sector as well.
Major Cities Feel the Heat, Smaller Cities Also Affected
The rush for accommodations has been intensified by the rapid sell-out of approximately 400,000 tournament tickets earlier this month, resulting in swift bookings of hotel rooms, even in smaller cities like Dharamsala. These accommodations are in high demand, serving players, support staff, cricket board officials, media personnel, and spectators alike. Even in bigger cities, hotel occupancies on match days are already at peak levels, prompting significant rate hikes.
Festival Season Meets Cricket Fever
Usually, the peak demand for airlines occurs during the festive season, while hotels see their demand surge in the latter half of December. However, the World Cup matches this year are defying this trend, keeping hotel demand robust for a more extended period. This unique convergence of cricket fervour and festival season is poised to benefit the hospitality industry across the board.

Ashwin's return to the ODI format was highlighted by his impactful performances during two of the three home ODIs against Australia. Displaying his full range of skills, he clinched four wickets in these matches, with an impressive 3 for 41 in the second ODI at Indore.&nbsp;
The inclusion of Ashwin bolsters the variety in India's spin attack, combining off-spin alongside Ravindra Jadeja's left-arm orthodox and Kuldeep Yadav's left-arm wrist spin. Earlier, with Axar in the squad, India only had 3 left-arm spin options in the squad.
Ahead of the Rajkot ODI, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/icc-world-cup/rohit-sharma-pleased-to-have-r-ashwin-in-form-ahead-of-odi-world-cup-2023-india-vs-australia-1695785694773">captain Rohit Sharma had high praise for Ashwin's capabilities</a>, emphasising how his experience, in addition to his knack for performing under pressure, will be a vital asset for the side.&nbsp;
Ashwin will be making his third ODI World Cup appearance. He was also part of India's triumphant 2011 campaign and the 2015 edition held in Australia. Notably, he was absent from the 2019 edition roster, where India played with Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.
The team management will be hoping for him to play a vital role during India's upcoming World Cup campaign. India's World Cup squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah

<h2>U-19 pacer Nishanth Saranu, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, stood out among the net bowlers used by Pakistan during their training session in Hyderabad.</h2>

Hyderabad's rising talent, Nishanth Saranu, towering at an impressive height of six feet nine inches, caught the eye during Pakistan's net practice ahead of their World Cup warm-up game against New Zealand. Nishanth, currently in his second year of U-19 cricket, joined the pool of net bowlers available to the Pakistan team, showcasing his potential during their practice session following a high-profile arrival in the city.
Pakistan is gearing up to face New Zealand in a World Cup warm-up fixture, making these practice sessions crucial for fine-tuning their gameplay. Amongst the net bowlers, Nishanth stood out, especially after seasoned bowlers like Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi had completed their turns. The Pakistani support staff, including bowling coach Morne Morkel, singled out Nishanth from the group of eager net bowlers. Despite Pakistani bowlers typically delivering at speeds of 140-150 kmph, they urged the young Hyderabad pacer to increase his pace significantly.
In response to this feedback, Nishanth expressed his commitment to enhancing his pace. He currently bowls at speeds of 125-130 kmph and aspires to emulate the Australian pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, whom he idolizes. Morne Morkel, also part of the Lucknow Super Giants' support staff, even inquired about Nishanth's availability to bowl at the IPL franchise's nets.
Nishanth has previous experience bowling to international batters, having been called for duty ahead of an India-New Zealand ODI. With Pakistan set to remain in the city for almost two weeks, Nishanth looks forward to seizing numerous opportunities to showcase his talent and aims for a promising future in both white and red-ball cricket. His immediate goal is to represent Hyderabad at the first-class level.
