This series, which comprises three One Day Internationals, is scheduled from March 29 to April 5. Initially, Haris was left out of the squad as the selectors aimed to introduce some new talent following a disappointing performance in the Champions Trophy. But now, it looks like he’ll be joining the team as they start their preparations for the series, with reports coming in from the Press Trust of India. On top of…

Mitchell Marsh, who plays for Lucknow Super Giants, has made his thoughts clear before their big match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

After that, he hugged Parag before the security crew finally caught up to him and escorted him away. This match was particularly special for Parag as…

Ravichandran Ashwin has some pretty strong views on the state of bowling in IPL 2025. He jokingly suggested that bowlers might soon need to bring their own personal psychologists to matches because the game’s becoming so tough for them. Ashwin feels like things have gotten so hard for bowlers this season that even throwing full-toss balls might be a smarter strategy than trying to pitch it and watch the batsman smack it away.  So far, it’s been a wild tournament. Out of the first five matches, three of them saw over 200 runs scored in each innings. This change is…

Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Punjab Kings and a key player for the Indian middle order, has been making strides in his game, and New Zealand’s Kane Williamson thinks he’s adapting really well to the challenges he faces, especially when dealing with short balls.

There was a time when he was a strike bowler,…
