According to Cricbuzz, Bangladesh’s star all-rounder Shakib al Hasan is in the clear after passing his bowling action reassessment. This follows a few months of being banned because of a questionable bowling action, which led to a lot of complaints. Shakib failed the test twice, but it seems he’s finally gotten his bowling action approved. This news is a huge relief for Shakib, who was left out of Bangladesh’s Champions Trophy team because the selectors didn’t want him as just a batter. Bangladesh lost their Champions Trophy matches against India and New Zealand. Their last group game against Pakistan was…

It’s now official that Jos Buttler’s going back to wicket-keeping in the IPL, even though he gave it up for England. Sanju Samson usually does the job for the Rajasthan Royals, so Buttler wasn’t needed there. But now that the Gujarat Titans shelled out a whopping INR 15.75 crore for him at the IPL 2025 auction, it sounds like he’ll be back behind the stumps. Skipper Shubman Gill confirmed this at a press thing before the tournament. Yep, Buttler’s our wicket-keeper, Gill told reporters in Ahmedabad. The Titans do have Anuj Rawat and Kumar Kushagra who can keep, but it…

Pat Cummins is a guy who wins a lot. He’s got the World Test Championship, the ODI World Cup – basically, he’s won it all. He almost got the Indian Premier League trophy, too. His Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team just couldn’t beat the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024, losing twice and missing out on the championship. Looks like the IPL 2025 auction was all about fixing what went wrong last time. SRH needed more batting power and better bowlers to back up Cummins. So, they got Abhinav Manohar, who can really hit the ball, plus some experienced bowlers…

Virat Kohli, the star batter, has nine T20 centuries. The 36-year-old hit eight in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and one against Afghanistan in Dubai in 2022, putting him third on the list of most centuries in the format. In the next IPL, the Delhi-born cricketer can move up the table past Babar Azam, who has 11 centuries. Babar Azam scored three centuries in T20Is and eight in franchise cricket. Chris Gayle tops the list with 22 centuries in 45 innings. Kohli scored nine in 382 innings, while Babar got 11 in 299. It’s really hard to score three centuries…

Last year, the BCCI told Indian cricketers to play in local games if they weren’t playing for the national team. When Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan skipped local matches while not on international duty, the board responded by not giving them annual contracts, showing they were serious. With India losing six of their last eight Test matches in the 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship, the BCCI released rules to encourage team discipline and togetherness. The board made it a must for cricketers to play local cricket to be considered for national team selection and contracts. Because of this, guys like…

Ben Duckett thinks England has a good shot at defeating India in their five-match Test series starting June 20. England and India drew 2-2 the last time India visited, but India, led by Rohit Sharma, won 4-1 in 2024. Still, Duckett is sure England will do well this time, saying the conditions at home are different, and they’re prepared to compete hard. India is a tough team to play on their own turf, but I think we should be able to beat them here. It should be a good series, Duckett said to Mail Sport. He also said that facing…

Campbell Kellaway from Victoria made an amazing catch in the WACA outfield in Australia. Even though the video from the streaming cameras was a bit rough, it was still one of the coolest plays of the 2024-25 Sheffield Shield season. Sachin Tendulkar, the famous Master Blaster, saw it too. He was super impressed and called the Aussie Superman and Spiderman because the catch was just unreal. So, Kellaway, who’s 22, first thought Cameron Gannon’s hook shot was going to go way over at long-on. But he jumped and somehow caught the ball with his right hand. That catch wrapped up…

Dwayne Bravo, the new mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), is aiming to bring a winning attitude to the team for the 2025 IPL season. He’s taking over from Gautam Gambhir, who was super liked by the fans. Bravo thinks passion is what will make KKR successful. He wants to keep building on last year’s championship by helping the players have fun playing together. Gambhir did a lot for KKR, leading them to two IPL titles as captain and guiding them to a third win last year. But Bravo has plenty of experience as a player and mentor with different…

With the Indian Premier League 2025 season starting in just a few days, the Lucknow SuperGiants are facing a tough situation. Several of their key fast bowlers are dealing with injuries. Team mentor Zaheer Khan mentioned that given how unpredictable the league can be, every team needs to be prepared for these kinds of issues. Lucknow, now led by Rishab Pant, will kick off their season at the ACAVDCA Cricket Stadium on March 24. Right now, it’s unclear when Mayank Yadav, Akash Deep, Mohsin Khan, and Avesh Khan will be back in action. We can’t say much since our players…

Cricketing World is buzzing with news that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) might let players put saliva on the ball again starting with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Apparently, this idea has been kicked around internally at the BCCI. They’re even planning a meeting in Mumbai this Thursday with all ten IPL team captains to talk about it. Using saliva to shine one side of the ball was a common trick for fast bowlers around the world. It helped them keep the shine on that side, which made the ball swing in reverse as…
