BENGALURU :Cricket Australia said on Tuesday it is working with the government as well as the Indian board on security arrangements with several players set to make a decision on whether to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) when it resumes this week.
NEW YORK: Jalen Brunson had 39 points and 12 assists, and the New York Knicks moved a win away from their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years and pushed the defending champion Boston Celtics to the brink of elimination with a 121-113 victory Monday night in Game 4. The Celtics will have to make the NBA’s 14th comeback from a 3-1 deficit to extend their title reign and may have to do it without All-Star Jayson Tatum, who was carried off the court with a right leg injury with 2:58 left. Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns each added 23 points and OG Anunoby bounced back from two poor performances by scoring 20 for the Knicks, who can win the series Wednesday night at Boston. If not, they would come back to Madison Square Garden to try to do it Friday night. Tatum scored 42 points, his high in these playoffs, before he was hurt when the Celtics turned the ball over and his leg gave out as he tried to lunge forward toward the loose ball. The Knicks had taken control just before that in front of a delirious crowd of fans who haven’t seen them play in the conference finals since they lost to Indiana in 2000. Nobody has come from 3-1 down since Denver did it twice in 2020 at the Walt Disney World resort.
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season set to resume on May 17, after being suspended due to border tensions between India and Pakistan, many overseas players face a huge dilemma over whether to return or stay home. Reports suggested that the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc are unlikely to return to India for the remainder of the IPL season, while some other players are yet to make up their minds. Amid this situation, Cricket Australia has cleared its stance on Aussie players' participation in the T20 league.
Former Pakistan cricketer and ex-PCB chairman Ramiz Raja paid a heartfelt tribute to Virat Kohli on Monday, moments after the Indian batting legend announced his retirement from Test cricket. Kohli, one of the most iconic figures of the modern game, brought down the curtains on a red-ball career that has redefined India's cricketing identity over the last decade. His numbers speak for themselves: 123 matches, 9,230 runs, 30 centuries, 31 half-centuries, and an average of 46.85. But it's the intent, aggression, and pride with which he played that will be remembered more than just the milestones. Speaking to IANS, Raja said, “With his retirement, modern day Test cricket will feel quiet and empty, as he was its best spokesperson.”
Al-Hilal defeated Al-Orobah 4-0 on Monday to keep their slim Saudi Pro League title hopes alive. The reigning champions are six points behind leaders Al-Ittihad with just three games remaining.
The BCCI on Monday decided to resume the IPL season across six venues from May 17 with the final slated for June 3 as per the revised schedule. The IPL was halted on May 8 after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was called off after Pakistan tried to invade Indian air space near Chandigarh, forcing a blackout in the stadium.
