Cricket History and Tournaments

South Africa's isolation from international cricket began in 1968 when they refused to allow Basil D'Oliveira, a coloured South African-born cricketer selected for England, to enter the country. This incident led to increasing boycotts, and by 1970-71 South Africa was effectively isolated from international cricket.

In late 2000, captains Hansie Cronje (South Africa), Salim Malik (Pakistan), and Mohammed Azharuddin (India) were found guilty of match-fixing and banned. Australia's captain at the time was not involved in the scandal.

Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room during the 2007 World Cup in Jamaica, where he was serving as Pakistan's coach. His mysterious death shocked the cricketing world and occurred just days after Pakistan's shocking loss to Ireland.

In the Hero Cup match at Gwalior on March 4, 1993, England suffered a dramatic collapse, losing their last 7 wickets for just 10 runs against India. This was a remarkable bowling performance by the Indian bowlers in the final overs. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand were not involved in this specific match.

India achieved the unwanted record of being dismissed twice in one day of a Test match against England at Lord's in 1952. In the second Test, India was bowled out for 151 and then again for 0 in their second innings, both on the same day. England won by an innings and 0 runs remains one of the most one-sided results in Test history.

New Zealand's cricket team is nicknamed the 'Black Caps', derived from their all-black national team uniform colors similar to the All Blacks (rugby). This name has been official since the 1990s. Canada, Zimbabwe, and Namibia have different team nicknames and don't use this moniker.

Kapil Dev scored his famous 175 runs against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup match at Tunbridge Wells, England. This was a crucial innings that helped India recover from a precarious position and eventually win the match. It remained the highest individual score by an Indian in ODIs for many years. England, New Zealand, and UAE were not the opponents in this match.

Kieron Pollard has played for multiple Big Bash League teams including Adelaide Strikers (South Australia) in 2011-12 and 2014-15. However, the question's present tense is misleading as he has moved between BBL teams and his longer stint was with Melbourne Stars (Victoria).

The 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, with the final played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This was the second time Australia and New Zealand jointly hosted the tournament.

Virender Sehwag played his first One Day International match in 1999 against Pakistan. He made his debut on October 2, 1999, during the Pepsi Cup tournament. This marked the beginning of an illustrious ODI career where he became known as one of India's most aggressive opening batsmen.

India reached the Davis Cup final for the first time in 1966, losing to Australia. The team, led by Ramanathan Krishnan and featuring Premjit Lall and Jaidip Mukerjea, made history by becoming the first Asian nation to reach the Davis Cup final. This remains India's best performance in the tournament to date. India has never won the Davis Cup.

India won the first Cricket World Cup in 1983, defeating the West Indies in the final at Lord's. Led by captain Kapil Dev, India's victory was considered one of the biggest upsets in cricket history. This win transformed cricket's popularity in India and established the team as a force in international cricket. Prudential Cup 1983 remains a landmark moment.
