New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and paceman Kyle Jamieson have been withdrawn from the squad to face Bangladesh in a three-match Twenty20 International series, the country's cricket board (NZC) said on Friday (Dec 22).
When New Zealander Daryl Mitchell was bought for a whopping Rs 14 crore by Chennai Super Kings during the IPL auction, he was wrapping presents for his daughter's birthday at his home and his heartbeat increased when his name popped up on the screen. His family kept the domestic chores aside and remained glued to the television. In the space of few minutes, the 32-year-old secured a life-changing paycheck at the auction held in Dubai on Tuesday. "It was obviously a pretty special night for us as a family, sitting here with my wife watching the whole auction," Mitchell said, according to local media. "To see your name come up and then to go through that whole experience is definitely something that will stick with us for the rest of our lives." Mitchell became the second-most expensive Black Caps ever purchased in the 15-year history of the IPL, level with Kane Williamson and behind only Kyle Jamieson, who was picked up by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 15 crore in 2021.
New Zealand paceman Kyle Jamieson will be rested from the current ODI series against Bangladesh after experiencing a stiff hamstring on his return home from the test tour, New Zealand Cricket said on Monday.

As the Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction 2024, set to be conducted on December 19 in Dubai, all eyes will be on MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK). While the IPL 2024 season is expected to get underway in March next year, CSK's title defence kicks off with the auction itself. With other title rivals certain to strengthen their squad, the Chennai outfit must get the balance of their squad right for the upcoming campaign if they are to retain their crown.
Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim grabbed the headlines recently for a bizarre dismissal. During a Test match against New Zealand at home, the wicketkeeper-batter became the victim of a rare dismissal. He used his hands to steer the ball away while standing around the stumps, and was dismissed for obstructing the field during an over from New Zealand's Kyle Jamieson. In the process, Rahim became the first player ever from Bangladesh to have been dismissed in the fashion. He joined the rare list of cricketers, including the likes of Mohinder Amarnath, Mohsin Khan, Michael Vaughan, etc. to have been dismissed in the manner.
