There have been massive speculation that the  IPL 2023  might be the last everyone has seen MS Dhoni in CSK colours. However, in the early stage of the tournament MS Dhoni had said that he might retire after IPL 2023, but in the post-match presentation after leading CSK to their fifth IPL trophy, he had said: “I don’t know, I have 8-9 months to decide. I have ample time to decide. Why take that headache now? The auction is in December. I will always come to CSK. I have been out of home since January, been practisin...

  With the selection committee not keen to throw a young side against West Indies, players like Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad will fly to Ireland in August. Rinku Singh will fly to Ireland for the  three T20I series against Ireland  to be played on August 18, 20 and 23. The non selection of Singh, who had a remarkable IPL for Kolkata Knight Riders, for the upcoming West Indies tour had created ire across Indian cricket. However, the selection committee wanted not to throw a young side against West Indies. Instead, they wanted to try everyone series by series. At the same time, they want players to be fresh ahead of a long season. “Rinku and other players who did well in the IPL will fly to Ireland as the selection committee doesn’t want to try everyone at one stage. There are seven players of the Indian ODI team who are not going to play T20 as those players are key for us going ahead as they will be playing Asia Cup in late August,” a BCCI source said. Players like Singh, Rutur...

  Arthur was intent on playing down the pressure quotient and in fact has already started the mental games stating that pressure would be on India. The Australian coach also insisted that the Pakistan team management had not pushed for their match against Afghanistan at Chennai to be played in Bengaluru. Pakistan’s marquee October 15 clash against arch-rivals India in Ahmedabad might be huge from perspective of fans on both sides of the border but it is certainly not the “be all and end all” from cricketing point of view, reckons Team Director and head coach Mickey Arthur. Arthur understands the hype surrounding the clash but for him, it will be like any other game where one would gain or lose two points. “I don’t think Pakistan and India is the be all of the World Cup,” Arthur told a Pakistani YouTube channel ‘Cricket Baaz’. “From a fan’s perspective, from the viewpoint of the emotions and relations between the two countries, one can understand the interest it generates and emotio...

  The home team was all-out for 203 in 41.1 overs despite a fighting 83 off 84 balls by Ryan Burl and his 54-run fifth wicket stand with Sikandar Raza (34) and another 73 with Wessly Madhevere (40) This is second edition in a row that Zimbabwe have failed to reach the main tournament having last played the 50-over World Cup back in 2015. (Twitter/ICC) Scotland ended hosts Zimbabwe’s dreams of qualifying for the ODI World Cup as they won a crucial Super Six encounter by 31 runs to inch closer towards the tournament proper in India starting October 5. Put in to bat, Scotland managed a modest 234 for 8 in 50 overs with none of the batters getting to a half-century. It was all-rounder Michael Leask’s brisk 48 off 34 balls with three fours and two sixes that gave the total some semblance of respectability. In reply, Zimbabwe lost four of their top order batters for only 37 runs inside the first Powerplay with medium pacer Chris Sole taking three wickets in his opening spell. The home te...

  Australia ultimately won the match by 43 runs to take a 2-0 lead in the Ashes but the victory was overshadowed by the myriad of controversies surrounding the Lord's Test. Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, who was miffed when his catch to dismiss Ben Duckett on Day 4 of the Ashes 2nd Test was ruled out, seemingly put the incident in the rear view mirror when talking about Jonny Bairstow’s controversial dismissal on the final day. At the fag end of Day 4, Duckett had a huge let-off when he was brilliantly caught by a diving Starc on the fine leg boundary off Cameron Green’s bowling. Having almost reached the pavilion, Duckett was sent back as video replays showed that Starc had not “I had no doubt I was under control of the ball. They’re going by the letter of the law, which states that in bracing my body, the ball was on the turf,” Starc told cricket.com.au on Sunday. “It’s going to be interesting moving forward with (similar catches). But we’ve got to accept that one, just like th...

Sri Lanka (6 points from three Super Six games) Sri Lanka, who remain unbeaten in the competition, will qualify for the World Cup with a win over Zimbabwe here on Sunday. Even if they lose, they can qualify by beating West Indies in their last Super Six game on July 7. Sri Lanka also enjoy an excellent net run rate of 1.832. Zimbabwe, like Sri Lanka, have won all their games so far. Their run rate of 0.752 is not very assuring and they can still find themselves in a tough situation even if they win against Sri Lanka on Sunday. A loss to Scot...
