Rain was the ultimate winner in the SA20 clash between the Joburg Super Kings and the Pretoria Capitals at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Thursday.
The world champions, Team India, and the visiting England squad arrived in batches on Saturday evening ahead of their series-opening T20I here on Wednesday. With a slight nip in the air, cricket fever is set to grip Kolkata once again as the iconic Eden Gardens prepares to host its first T20 International in nearly three years. Beginning with the Eden T20I, the two teams will fight it out in a full white ball series, consisting five T20Is and three ODIs, which will serve as a crucial warm-up for the Champions Trophy, slated to begin on February 19 in Pakistan and Dubai.
Daryn Dupavillon led with the ball as Pretoria Capitals secured a six-wicket SA20 win against the defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape, who remain winless in the tournament so far.
:Joe Root returned to England's one-day international squad for the first time since their ill-fated World Cup title defence in November 2023, as the country's cricket board named players on Sunday for a white-ball tour of India and the Champions Trophy.
England batter Jacob Bethell has been awarded a central contract upgrade, signing a two-year extension until September 2026, the country's cricket board (ECB) said on Wednesday.
England's young star Jacob Bethell is looking forward to playing alongside Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and India stalwart Virat Kohli in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Bethell became RCB's latest acquisition in the recent IPL 2025 mega auction for Rs 2.6 crore. The 21-year-old attracted bids from Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings but both franchises failed to overcome RCB's resolve. Bethell will link up with his England teammates Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone at RCB but it is Virat he is most excited to rub shoulders with. "It's a bit of a given, isn't it? "Virat! He's a great of the game so... King Kohli," Bethell said, with a wry smile, as quoted from ESPNcricinfo.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are done with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction, buying some top players like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Phil Salt, Tim David, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma etc. However, what the franchise failed to get in the auction is a captaincy candidate. While rumours of Virat Kohli being keen to take up the leadership role himself have been circulating before the start of the auction, RCB icon AB de Villiers has now confirmed the same, saying the India star will take up the role next season.
The beauty of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction lies in the fact that players from humble beginnings and backgrounds can become millionaires overnight, as billionaire owners invest to find the right fit for their team. It was much the same in the IPL 2025 auction, which ended up seeing the most money ever spent in any auction, at a whopping INR 639.15 crore. Some players ended up receiving huge increments, with wicket-keeper batter Jitesh Sharma seeing a salary hike of an incredible 5,400 percent.
