Former India cricketer Parthiv Patel has declared Ravindra Jadeja as the best all-rounder in the world, ahead of Ben Stokes, Pat Cummins and Shakib al Hasan. Jadeja scored a magnificent 104* and picked up 4/54 in the first Test against West Indies to set up a comprehensive win by an innings and 140 runs.

Pat Cummins and Travis Head have turned down lucrative offers worth $10 million per year from an IPL team group to quit international cricket and play in T20 leagues across the globe.

Pat Cummins is set to miss the start of the Ashes and could be sidelined for the full series against England due to a back injury, with Steve Smith likely to step in as captain.
