The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has issued a clarification on the unusual run-out of Pakistan opener Muneeba Ali during the 2025 Women’s World Cup clash against India, saying that the third umpire was ‘entirely correct’ in adjudging her as run-out.   The incident happened on the last ball of the fourth over of Pakistan’s chase at the R Premadasa Stadium when Muneeba initially survived an lbw appeal off Kranti Gaud, as India chose not to review despite replays later showing three reds.

It’s a typical day on the job for the 15 workers at Canada’s last major hockey stick factory,…
