Boyd Rankin, the Ireland fast bowler, is confident he is on track to take his place at the World Cup as he recovers from a stress fracture of his foot.

Rankin missed Ireland's recent trip to India, but is aiming to resume bowling in early December and work his way back to top gear early in the New Year. He is key to Ireland's hopes of making an impact at the 2011 World Cup to match their exploits in the Caribbean where they reached the Super Eight stage with victory over Pakistan and later beat Bangladesh.

"I started running in the last couple of days and should be bowling again next week when I go to Loughborough and it will be two weeks there, a week at Warwickshire and another week at Loughborough before Christmas to make sure I am as best prepared as I can be," Rankin told the Belfast Telegraph. "But this time we are taking it more slowly to make sure there are no more problems."

Rankin was Ireland's leading wicket-taker at the previous World Cup and adds a cutting edge to their attack that most Associate nations struggle to replicate. He also plays for Warwickshire in English domestic cricket and took 22 wickets at 27 last season before being hit by injury.

Cricket Scotland, still searching for a major sponsor to replace Lloyds Bank, will land a $60,000 windfall if its team can beat Afghanistan in the Intercontinental Cup final in Dubai.

Pete Steindl's side is attempting to win the tournament for non-Test countries for the first time since 2004. They earned $40,000 for reaching the final, but victory will see them scoop a much bigger sum.

"We have already spent most of the $40,000 taking the squad out a week early to prepare for the game," Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith said. "The main objective of the players is to get their hands on the trophy but it would be a nice bonus to receive the money."

The five-day final at the Dubai International Stadium will be streamed live thanks to a partnership between Cricket Scotland and the ICC, with highlights also available on ESPNcricinfo.

A 22-year-old woman in the US has made headlines after complaining about cricket messages sent to her Twitter account, which is named @theashes.

Massachusetts-based Ashley Kerekes says she knows nothing about cricket, complaining she was "not a freaking cricket match". The number of her followers has risen from 300 to 6,100 and an airline has offered her a free flight to Australia.

She tweeted: "This is not the account of the cricket match. Check profiles before you send mentions, it's incredibly annoying and rude".

However, while initially moaning about the number of posts, she told the Brisbane Times that becoming a Twitter celebrity was "amazing". She is also selling T-shirts with the slogan "I am not a freaking cricket match".

"I hope no one is offended by me making t-shirts,” Kerekes said. “I probably (sic) make two cents a shirt. I'm not trying to get rich just have fun.

"My boyfriend gave me the nickname Ashes years ago, maybe because of the cricket tournament,” she added. “We don't remember. He's been calling me The Ashes forever. I intend on reading up on rules and such as soon as I recover from the shock. Right now, I'm just having a blast reading everyone's tweets to me.”

Canada have drawn into Zone B at the upcoming Caribbean Twenty20 tournament that gets underway on January 8 in Barbados and Antigua. Canada have been placed into a group with Barbados, Trinidad, Leeward Islands and Hampshire.

Bangladesh 119 for 5 (Naeem 34*, Rahman 33*) beat Afghanistan 118 (Stanikzai 38*) by five wickets

Bangladesh's cricketers won their country its first-ever gold medal in the Asian Games by beating Afghanistan in a thrilling final in Guangzhou. In a see-saw match that attracted a crowd of 2000, 19-year-old Shabbir Rahman smashed two sixes in the penultimate over to decisively swing the match Bangladesh's way and dash Afghan hopes of a gold.

A day after upsetting fancied Pakistan in the semi-finals, Afghanistan looked set for a hammering when they slid to 66 for 6 in the 13th over on choosing to bat. Youngsters Asghar Stanikzai (38*) and Shabir Noori (25) then gave Afghanistan's chances a boost with a stabilising stand that left Bangladesh needing 120 for victory.

Bangladesh almost made a mess of what should have been a straightforward chase, losing five wickets, including that of their experienced captain Mohammad Ashraful, for 75. Afghanistan were scenting another famous win but were denied by the pair of allrounder Naeem Islam, who is looking to secure a permanent spot in the Bangladesh side, and Rahman, a legspinner who was part of the squad for this year's Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand. With 19 needed off the final two overs, Bangladesh were the underdogs but they clubbed 17 runs of the 19th over from offspinner Karim Sadiq, who had excellent figures of 2-0-10-2 before that, to transform the game.

"I had a good talk with Naeen before the 19th over and we went for it," Shabbir said. "Luckily, it came good. There was no pressure on me, but I am sure my team-mates in the dressing room were tense."

Ashraful admitted he had given up hope towards the end. "I was feeling a bit low but then Shabbir came and did the job for us," he said. "There was a bit of pressure because Afghanistan are a very good side and this was our first major final."

Cricket has been Bangladesh's most productive sporting discipline at the Asian Games so far - besides the men's gold, they have won silver in the women's competition. They have only one other medal in the Asian Games so far, a bronze in kabaddi.

Online video coverage of the Intercontinental Cup final between Afghanistan and Scotland in Dubai is to be streamed live in a joint initiative between the ICC and Cricket Scotland. The match, being staged at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai Sports City from December 2, is a five-day game and the culmination of the premier two-year first class competition among the leading ICC Associate and Affiliate nations.

The coverage, which will be presented in an informal manner, is being produced through the Livestream website using a channel set up by Cricket Scotland and can be viewed here. Highlights of each day's play will also be available on the official ICC website.

"Even with basic resources, it is quite remarkable what can be achieved through the internet these days," said Scotland-based producer Mike Stanger. "Our three-camera live coverage will not constitute a fully fledged outdoor broadcast of professional origin, but our production team includes cricket fans with professional broadcasting experience.

"We will be working hard to convey the progress of the match in a manner that can be appreciated by the many thousands of followers of both Scotland and Afghanistan cricket who cannot be there in the flesh."

"This is a fantastic chance for fans of Afghanistan and Scotland, as well as all those associated with Associate and Affiliate cricket, to see live action from the Intercontinental Cup final," added ICC Global Development Manager Matthew Kennedy. "We're grateful to be able to work alongside one of our Associate Members, in this case Cricket Scotland, in order to provide this service to fans of the game."

The hours of play in Dubai will be from 0930 to 1630 each day (0530 to 1230 GMT), and coverage of the game will start about half an hour before play begins and continue until approximately half an hour after the close of play. Recordings of each of the three sessions of play each day will be available from the Livestream channel to view in full as VoD (Video on Demand) services at any time as well as on the ICC's website.

The Intercontinental Shield final, between United Arab Emirates and Namibia, is also scheduled to be played from December 2 to 5 at the ICC Global Cricket Academy in Dubai Sports City.

When they were kings ... Don Lockerbie and Lalit Modi © Getty Images

Rumours the façade of respectability Don Lockerbie had managed to erect was crumbling had been circulating for a while, but few expected him to be dispensed with so soon. In true USACA fashion, instead of senior executives fronting up to explain what was happening, they headed for the hills and resorted to the tactic of old – silence.

We will comment more when the reasons for Lockerbie’s hasty removal become clearer. Ostensibly, he has paid for not delivery on some eye-popping promises made in his first few months in office, and because the finances are causing concerns. But given the shambolic nature of US cricket in the years before he was appointed CEO, that would be a little harsh.

What should worry anyone connected with the game in the USA is that Gladstone Dainty, a man associated with the dysfunctionality which led the US twice being suspended by the ICC, is back in charge. It will also have been noted with alarm in Dubai where Lockerbie has strong support.

Don Lockerbie has been relieved of his position as chief executive of the USA Cricket Association with immediate effect hours before a board meeting in Florida, according to sources inside US cricket.

The news comes a little over a week after the resignation of Nabeel Ahmed, the first vice-president of USACA.

While nobody was prepared to confirm the report, it follows several months of increasing concern that Lockerbie's bullish promises about changes he was going to make to the game in the USA had come to nothing.

The board's finances remain a concern, and despite official denials it is widely believed the ill-fated tournament in Florida in May featuring New Zealand and Sri Lanka landed USACA with considerable losses.

Lockerbie had a reputation of being someone big on talk but far more reluctant to address media inquiries about the more questionable aspects of USACA's operations.

He took up his role in April 2009 and quickly unveiled ambitious plans to turn US cricket professional and stage an IPL-type tournament in the country. But despite strong support from the ICC his plans failed to materialise, and in recent months there has been growing discontent within the USA which appears to have cost Lockerbie his position.

While few will lament his departure, it does raise the grim spectre of the USA sliding back into the murky shambles that led to its suspension from the ICC in 2005.

Trevor Langa, Vanuatu's wicketkeeper, writes about the World Cricket League Division 8

Well my wish came true and we beat Zambia to make sure we remain in ICC WCL Div. 8 and that there are four East-Asia Pacific sides in the World Cricket League!

Today’s game was by no means easy for us – Zambia set us a decent total and their opening batsman Allan Nsensha really smashed the ball about the park to the disappointment of our bowling attack that had been strong all week.

We always knew when we went out to bat that we could make the total and even when we lost some batsmen we knew how well we could run between the wickets and that we still had some big hitters in the side, including myself and Patrick Matautaava and as it turns out Freddie Timakata too. He totally supported our captain Andrew Mansale out there today to help us win the game. Andrew’s century was awesome and it was definitely key to us winning today.

The mood in camp is really good tonight, we’ve just been for a team meal and everyone is really happy and pleased we won and are staying in Division 8. We leave here tomorrow afternoon for the long journey back to Port Vila.

I’m looking forward to seeing all my family and getting back to work at Vanuatu Cricket Association and getting more kids involved in cricket so that when we play Division 8 again Vanuatu comes back bigger, stronger and ready to be promoted!

Germany's Andre Leslie writes about the ICC WCL Division Eight.

Well, all good things have to come to an end. Our wonderful Kuwait experience is now over and - unfortunately - so is our winning streak. Kuwait were worthy winners of this tournament, no doubt about it, but I would be lying if I said that we were satisfied with our performance today.

After a good start, our top order - including yours truly - failed to capitalise. Losing wickets regularly always makes scoring a big total difficult. We still thought we had a chance though with 163 on the board, but we knew we would have to bowl well from the start. Kuwait were always going to come out guns blazing ... and this time their plan worked.

Still, I was really impressed by how the team fought their way back into the game and put the Kuwait batsmen under pressure despite the low total. Our spinners once again bowled well. In the end though our hosts played it sensibly to the end and got the runs comfortably. It was a disappointing end for our DCB side, even though we have managed our main goal of qualifying for Division 7 - of that we can be really proud.

This evening we get straight back on the plane to Frankfurt in Germany. It is a quick turn around for the squad. But, we all have jobs to get back to and lounging here in Kuwait will not pay the bills! Although I am looking forward to getting back to family and friends, I will definitely miss the warm weather here a bit.

I hope to catch you all in Botswana next May for the World Cricket League Division 7!

Germany's Andre Leslie writes about the ICC WCL Division Eight.

What a feeling! As you can imagine, the mood in the German camp is tough to beat this evening. We have worked hard for a long time to get ourselves back and ready for the World Cricket League - it all started at a successful European Championships in Guernsey in July - and that just makes victory all the sweeter today. Still, we knew we would have to play well against Vanuatu to get the victory. They have played consistently all tournament and have been turning heads with their positive attitude and non-stop music!

Even though we did not manage a big total like in some of our other games, we were quietly confident with our total of 185. The ground at Sulabiya has been a tough place to bat all tournament. Personally, I was obviously pretty disappointed not to be in the starting line-up today. But, that is sometimes what happens when your team is performing well - there are only 11 spots after all. It sounds clichéd, but the success of the team was the most important thing and it was great to be part of that. I also want to send my condolences, via this route, to Trevor and his team.

The game today was very important for both sides. We wish Vanuatu all the best on Friday in their final game - their team has certainly played in the right spirit and still has plenty to play for. We did not go too wild with celebrations this evening - just a quick swim followed by a round of pizza. The final against Kuwait will be a big game and a good challenge. Ending this tournament on top would really be a great event for German cricket.

Trevor Langa, Vanuatu's wicketkeeper, writes about the World Cricket League Division 8

I think today our batting let us down, we really didn’t play the way we all know we can and on behalf of all the boys we’re really disappointed that we couldn’t take Vanuatu to the next level.

We had a good start against Germany – with both Patricks (Matautaava and Haines) bowling well and restricting the Germans from scoring and we were confident that we would be able to make the runs. But perhaps we were overconfident and that led us to play silly shots and not bat to our true ability.

All the team is pretty down this evening, we just had a team meal and now its about reflecting before tomorrow’s big game against Zambia. That match is really important as the winner gets to stay up in the tournament, and the second team gets relegated with Bahamas, Bhutan, Gibraltar and Suriname. We really don’t want to be relegated – I would really like Vanuatu to stay up in Division 8 as that would mean there are four teams from the East-Asia Pacific region in the World Cricket League – the others are Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Japan in case you didn’t know.

Tomorrow is do-or-die for us – we really don’t want to go back to the regional qualifiers as we know we’re worthy of being in this tournament and staying in it – we want to do the people of Vanuatu proud and want them to know we’ve given this tournament our all.

I’m off for an early night to make sure I’m ready for tomorrow. One last thing - I wanted to say thank you for all the feedback I’ve been getting on my blog – I’ve really appreciated all the words of support. Until tomorrow…

Germany's Andre Leslie writes about the ICC WCL Division Eight.

It's great to have finished top of our group after beating Bahamas in our third game on Tuesday. Our victory was a solid team effort, but the standout performance definitely came from our legspinner Kashif Haider. He bagged an amazing eight wickets.

I'm so pleased for Kashi. He regularly bowls well for us but often misses out on the wickets a bit. Against Bahamas, his turn and control was superb. If only we could improve his fashion sense, he might pass for Germany's next Shane Warne.

In the field yesterday, our energy levels were much better and there was plenty of encouragement. Because of our different backgrounds we have Urdu and Hindi, Punjabi, Sinhala and English speakers in the team. The only language that everyone speaks is German. The problem is, the language doesn't have too many cricket expressions. One German word for stumps translates to "wooden goal" for instance. That doesn't sound so good.

I shouldn't forget to give a special thanks to yesterday's two reserves - Tarun Rawat and Shafraz Samsudeen. They ran the drinks all day and boy, did we need it. Both of these guys have come up through the German junior sides and it's good to have them along on tour. An experience like this in Kuwait is invaluable. Even though they weren't in the starting eleven against Bahamas, they were in the middle of post-match celebrations yesterday.

We can't afford to get too excited yet though. Everything is still to play for in the match against Vanuatu. But first, we have a day off. I don't have any big plans. Mainly, I'm looking forward to getting up late and enjoying a big breakfast.

Kuwait solidified their position at the top of Group A with their third easy victory, while Germany's Kashif Haider took his team to victory with the bowling performance of the tournament so far. Zambia eased to victory over Gibraltar despite Kieron Ferrary's hundred, and Vanuatu scrapped to a win over Suriname. For a full round-up of all the action click here.

Trevor Langa, Vanuatu's wicketkeeper, writes about the World Cricket League Division 8

Today went well for us but Suriname definitely tested us when we went into bat. They did well to restrict us to begin with, and they were bowling in the right areas. But it’s good to know we’re now through to the semi-finals of the tournament.

We fielded much better today than we did on Sunday. We picked ourselves up and it was good to have a rest day yesterday to refocus and look at what we needed to improve for today’s game.

I hit the winning runs today, which is a good feeling. It’s nice to bring home a victory for the team but we can’t rest on our laurels. Thursday’s game against Germany is a big match for us that could see us qualifying through to Division 7 in Botswana.

After our recovery session yesterday morning we went for lunch as a team at one of the restaurants outside the hotel – it was good to get out and not be sitting in our rooms all day. We had a total day off, which I think probably helped us today, as our minds were clear and ready for the game.

One of my team-mates, Frederick Timakata, was late to our pool training session yesterday so we decided to fine him for it. This morning when we went to breakfast at 5 a.m., Frederick arrived at breakfast in full batting kit, pads, helmet, gloves, bat – the whole lot! It was good laugh for everyone – including all the other teams and officials who were in the breakfast area!

We’ve got another rest day tomorrow, but our coach Mark Coles has already decided we’re going to have a training session. We didn’t perform as well as we could have today against Suriname and Germany is going to be a big test for us since they’ve been batting really well through this tournament.

Hopefully once we’re finished with training tomorrow we can go for a walk around the mall or something just to have a break from cricket before the big game on Thursday.

Germany batsman Andre Leslie writes about the World Cricket League Division 8

The team is pretty chuffed with our two victories so far in the tournament here in Kuwait. But, we aren't getting too carried away - things are still tight in our group.

Our first match against Zambia was a close call. After scoring just 128 we knew we would need a massive effort in the field to turn things around. Once again it was our fast bowler, Ehsan Latif, who got the crucial wickets at the end. Our spinners also made a big contribution with some very economical bowling. The win gave us a great boost of confidence to start the tournament.

After “getting out of jail” against Zambia, we managed to do things a little easier on Sunday against Gibraltar. Our batting was very strong - thanks mainly to centuries from both Milan Fernando and our captain, Asif Khan. It is the first time we have had two centurions in one innings for a long time in German cricket. In the end we won by 130 runs.

With lots of training and playing, we haven't really had a chance to see much of Kuwait so far. Today we plan to head out and check out some of the sights in Kuwait City. I'm especially looking forward to the Kuwait Towers. Where I live in Berlin we also have a unique-looking thin tower. The locals call it "the asparagus". I wonder what they call it here.

One added bonus of sightseeing here in Kuwait is that you know it is going to be sunny and warm. When we left Germany last week, the mercury was already starting to dip below zero degrees.

Trevor Langa, Vanuatu's wicketkeeper, writes about the World Cricket League Division 8

We were really looking forward to playing Kuwait today as we knew they’d be a challenge and they were definitely that. They got a lot of runs on the board, which was disappointing, but we didn’t help matters with some poor fielding today. We missed at least eight catches, including some really easy ones at point and also first slip. They batted out 50 overs and then they fielded out 50 overs against us – they are a seriously tough team but that being said if we hadn’t let them get to 400, then I think we would have been able to chase down the score a little bit better.

It’s never a great feeling to lose, but the mood on the bus home was positive – we were pleased that we batted out the 50 overs in an attempt to chase the total and we know we’ve still got all to play for on Tuesday against Suriname. The important thing for us is to keep our run-rate up so we finish top two and have a chance to make the play-offs for promotion to Division 7 in Botswana.

Tomorrow we’ve got a rest day – the team has a couple of recovery sessions planned in the pool but other than that it’s our chance to have a sleep in and get our minds off cricket for the day. I’m not too sure what I’m going to do, I think I’ll probably sleep and rest up for Tuesday and go out and explore Kuwait on the second rest day. I don’t think I’ll do too much shopping while I’m here though as I went a bit mad buying things in Dubai when we had a stopover so I’m not sure if there’s room to get anything more in my suitcase back to Vanuatu.

I’m keeping this one short as I’ve got to run off to a team function this evening – Kuwait Cricket Council are hosting all eight teams here for the tournament, it should be an interesting evening!

Trevor Langa, the Vanuatu wicketkeeper, writes about the World Cricket League Division 8

Before we came to Kuwait we had camp in Brisbane with some of Cricket Australia’s High Performance guys and we also had talk from John Buchanan the former Aussie coach. He spoke to us about how to be a team on the field but also how to play to your best as individuals – I think that’s come through for us today against Bhutan.

Today was good day for us beating Bhutan – it was our first win ever in an ICC World Cricket League which was awesome, but our total today of 337 was also the highest Vanuatu has ever scored in a 50-over game which made it even more special. We can be proud of that but we have to look ahead to Sunday when face Kuwait who beat Suriname today very easily.

I think if people come to watch here in Kuwait, or if they see Vanuatu playing cricket, they might be surprised as we’re quite loud on the field. It keeps us upbeat and I think it helped us against Bhutan today.

When we last played in World Cricket League Division 5 in Jersey we got smashed by Norway and that was our first time out in the league. I think this was Bhutan’s first time out in the league and maybe they were a bit nervous, but it felt it good to smash them. We’ve long way to go though before we can say we’re through to the next round.

Kuwait is a new experience for me – I’m from Vanuatu which is very green and is kind of tropical and this place is definitely not that. It’s very hot and sandy here and I’ve only seen trees on the highway or at the cricket pitches so far.

I’m sharing room this time round with Damien Smith who is as loud as me, which I think is why we’re put together. He’s a funny guy but at the moment he seems to be my wake-up call to get me down to breakfast. We’re starting early here in Kuwait, the earliest I’ve ever had to get up for cricket, the buses leave at 6am for an 8.15 start so we’re all breakfast at 5am falling asleep into our cornflakes!

Mind you the early start didn’t affect us today with our win, so maybe I shouldn’t complain.

The World Cricket League Division 8 tournament began in Kuwait on Saturday with comprehensive victories for Vanuatu and Kuwait, a tight win for Germany and an efficient performance from Bermuda. For a full round-up of all the action click here.

The squads for the inaugural World Cricket League Division 8 tournament, to be held in Kuwait from November 6 to 12, have been announced. Teams from Suriname, Vanuatu, Bhutan, Gibraltar, Germany, Zambia and the Bahamas will join hosts Kuwait at the event, and the top two sides will win promotion to the Division 7 edition in Botswana in May 2011.

Four grounds – Hubara, Unity, KEC and Sulaibiya - will host games and, with eight teams rather than the usual six competing, the tournament will be played in a slightly different format with two groups of four. The sixth day of the event will see play-offs between the groups after the final group standings have been completed on day four. The WCL Div. 8 final and position play-offs will then take place on 12 November.
