"Shaken" they may be after a horrendous season but Chennai Super Kings will not compromise on experience going forward, coach Stephen Fleming hinted on Monday, saying that experience wins tournaments. The New Zealander, though, promised to invest in talented youngsters over the next three years. Facing criticism for over-reliance on veteran players and outdated strategies, the 2023 champions are languishing at the bottom of the table with two matches left this season. Asked if performance of Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel and Noor Ahmed has convinced the team management to bank on youth, Fleming gave them due credit. "They have certainly had an impact which is positive from a season that has been a challenge. But we realised that early on that we were off pace. So to be able to introduce these players, they are definitely in line for the future as we regenerate the team and redevelop or reconfirm our philosophy of how we want to play," Fleming said ahead of their penultimate clash against Rajasthan Royals.

Taking to Instagram, the right-handed opener broke the news to the fans as he bowed out of the game after playing 67 Tests and scoring 4301 runs.

England's Test captain Ben Stokes has quit drinking alcohol during his ongoing hamstring injury rehabilitation in an effort to be battle-ready for the upcoming Ashes series against traditional rivals Australia.

The 33-year-old Stokes had surgery on his left hamstring in December after suffering a tear during the third Test against New Zealand, which ruled him out of action for a prolonged period.

England cricket team fast bowler Tom Curran finally broke his silence over claims that he "cried like a child" out of fear during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Curran, who plays for Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), expressed his relief to see the competition resume after the ceasefire. However, he completely denied the claims made by Bangladesh all-rounder Rishad Hossain that the tensions left Curran and New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell extremely worried.
