Rabada says Test cricket needs thrilling performances, while Dutch youth cricket takes on Europe! Plus, rice that reigns supreme!

In the ever-unpredictable world of cricket, South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada recently shared his insights on the future of Test cricket, emphasizing that it’s up to the players to ensure the format stays alive. With the Big Three — Australia, India, and England — dominating the cricket narrative, Rabada believes that teams outside this exclusive club must bring their A-game. A riveting performance can spark the interest of fans and ensure Test cricket remains both thrilling and relevant. As the cricketing fraternity looks on, it’s evident that players have a responsibility not just to their teams, but to the very essence of the game itself.

Meanwhile, on the culinary front, Royal® is celebrating its second consecutive season as the Signature Partner in America for Authentic Basmati and Sona Masoori Rice. In a country known for its obsession with all things food, Royal® takes pride in offering rice that is not only a staple but also a delicacy. As tastemakers and chefs continue to explore diverse cuisines, this rice brand has become synonymous with quality. From biryanis to risottos, the versatility of rice is truly a culinary adventure waiting to unfold!

On another front, the youth cricket scene is bustling with excitement as teams like the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark battle it out for a spot in the U19 Men's Cricket World Cup. In a highly competitive match, the Dutch emerged victorious against Sweden, showcasing talent and determination. Meanwhile, the hosts, Denmark, triumphed over Italy, marking a significant stride in their quest. The stakes are high, and the joy of the game is palpable among budding cricketers, proving once again that cricket is a global phenomenon reaching the hearts of the young.

As Rabada focuses on revitalizing Test cricket, and youth leagues across Europe gain momentum, cricket lovers brace themselves for what’s next. Who knows? Maybe a future cricket star is currently perfecting their swing while managing to cook the perfect Basmati rice at home!

Fun Fact: Did you know that the longest Test match lasted over 12 days?! It was played between South Africa and England at Durban in 1939. Fun Fact 2: Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world's population, with a mind-boggling 1500 different varieties cultivated across the globe!
