'Shaken' Delhi Capitals Star Refuses To Re-Join IPL 2025 Even After India-Pakistan Ceasefire

Around 6 pm Australia time on Wednesday, Jake Fraser-McGurk's manager told Delhi Capitals (DC) that the young right-handed opener will not be coming back to India for the franchise's remaining games in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, restarting on May 17.

Huge Blow For Delhi Captals: Fiery Rs 9 Crore Star Opts Out Of IPL 2025 Restart. Replacement Named

Delhi Capitals on Wednesday signed Bangladesh left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman as replacement for Australian batter Jake-Fraser McGurk, who will not rejoin the team for the remainder of Indian Premier League after returning home due to the ongoing India-Pakistan hostilities. Fraser-McGurk's release won't hurt DC as he was dropped after the first six games in which he tallied only 55 runs. Also, if Mitchell Starc doesn't come, as is widely anticipated, then Mustafizur's left-arm seam bowling, with expertise in death overs, would come in handy.

Mehidy also becomes only the third player from Bangladesh to win the award and the first one to do it in over two years - Shakib Al Hasan was the last Bangladesh player to win the award in March 2023, while Mushfiqur Rahim is the other one to have been adjudged winner of the honour.

Can Virat Kohli Break Sachin Tendulkar's '100 Centuries' Record? ODI Schedule Paints Grim Picture

If there was one player who was considered worthy of bettering Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 international hundreds, it was Virat Kohli. When Tendulkar was asked in an award ceremony after hitting his 100th century on who could break his record, he took two names: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Within a week, both Rohit and Virat retired from the Test format. Kohli, who quit the Test arena on Monday, is still 18 hundreds away from equalling the incredible milestone and now has just one format to play, maybe for a maximum of two years. In an age when the relevance of the 50-over format is a continuous debate, hitting 19 hundreds in ODIs is a humongous task. There is a possibility of Kohli featuring in the ODI World Cup to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in 2027.

Shaun Tait Appointed Bangladesh Pace Bowling Coach Until 2027

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed former Australian speedster Shaun Tait as the national team's pace bowling coach until November 2027. The 42-year-old replaces Andre Adams, who parted ways with the team after a brief and underwhelming stint. Tait brings with him a wealth of experience both as a former international cricketer and as a bowling coach. A member of Australia's 2007 World Cup-winning squad, Tait played 59 international matches across formats and picked up 95 wickets with his express pace and raw aggression. In his coaching journey, he has previously worked with Pakistan, West Indies and Afghanistan, gaining valuable insights across cricketing cultures.
