RCB is branded as a distinct, star-driven franchise that has never been able to nurture an innate pool of players, unlike a few other ones around. Hence, Venkatesh Prasad is not very happy about the team’s priorities on the home front. In a talk show on JioHotstar, he said:”Other teams have been believing in local talent, so what is wrong with RCB? Is it building a brand or is it with that sole motive of winning the IPL?” Bengaluru’s current team perhaps has Manoj Bhandage and Devdutt Padikkal as local players. The former is an all-rounder who played the Karnataka…

Originally published in May 2020 as a stopgap solution, the prohibition on saliva use came during the COVID-19 outbreak. The ICC next declared the prohibition permanent in September 2022. Shami has earlier discussed how that reverse swing has taken a…

Ahead of the ICC showpiece’s title match against India on March 9, the Kiwis landed here on Thursday evening. “And they have played all of their games in Dubai, so they know that surface.
