Worcestershire seamer Josh Tongue is set to make his England debut in this week's one-off test against Ireland at Lord's, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Tuesday.
England's opening batter Jason Roy is considering negotiating releases of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) contract in order to sign a contract with the franchise to play in the inaugural season of Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States, which will begin on July 13 and run until July 30, as reported by ESPNcricinfo. Roy's England teammate Reece Topley is also considering the same move. However, Reece's decision will depend on the status of his shoulder surgery which will happen last month. ECB contract gives around 66,000 pounds per year and is one of the boards that provide the highest salaries to crickets. Harry Brook, Dawid Malan, Matthew Potts, Roy, Topley and David Willey are the players who have such deals for the 2022-23 contract cycle.
Playoff aspirants Mumbai Indians take on SunRisers Hyderabad in their last match of the league phase of this season's Indian Premier League (IPL). With one playoff spot remaining, MI need nothing less than a win to keep up the pressure on fourth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who will be in action later on Sunday at home to Gujarat Titans. With four wins and two defeats, MI have certainly taken full advantage of their homeground, something that Rohit Sharma's men would want to continue as they also have the final opportunity to improve their Net Run Rate (NRR).
Proteas wicketkeeper-batter Heinrich Klaasen was praised for his scintillating Indian Premier League (IPL) century in a losing cause for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In-form Heinrich Klaasen displayed his big-hitting prowess on way to his maiden IPL hundred as Sunrisers Hyderabad recovered from a poor start to post 186 for five against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a crucial match in Hyderabad on Thursday. The keeper-batter had six hits over the fence and eight across it during his scintillating 51-ball knock. He forged a 76-run partnership with Aiden Markram (18) before adding another 74 off 36 balls with Harry Brook (27 not out) to take SRH to a competitive total.
Lucknow Super Giants will be itching to get back to winning ways against a buoyant Sunrisers Hyderabad with young wrist spinner Ravi Bishnoi holding the key in a must-win IPL game here on Saturday. LSG, having lost two of their last three matches, will take a huge step forward if they happen to get past Aiden Markram's team, which is languishing in ninth place in the 10-team table. The Krunal Pandya-led team is currently fifth with 11 points and is very much there in the play-off mix.
Despite his unceremonious exit from Sunrisers Hyderabad, former skipper David Warner was elated to see his old franchise coming out on top against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Sunday. SRH pounced on the late no-ball error from RR's Sandeep Sharma to secure a 4-wicket win. It was Abdul Samad smashed a last-ball six as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 215 to stun Rajasthan Royals. Warner, thrilled with the drama-filled victory for the Hyderabad side, took to Twitter and wrote: "How goods the IPL, Glenn Phillips take a bow, Well played Sunrisers".
Apart from one century to his name, Harry Brook hasn't performed as was expected from him in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as Sunrisers Hyderabad had bought him for a whopping fee of INR 13.25 crore. After a poor start to his IPL career, Brook gave those trolling him a fitting response with a century. But, since then, his form has gone bust once again. After the Englishman was dropped from the SRH team for the match against Rajasthan Royals, Virender Sehwag criticised Brook for letting the 'trollers' into his head.
