Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Daniel Vettori on Saturday backed the decision to use a second ball in the evening matches to mitigate the dew factor during IPL 2025, calling it a "pragmatic answer to a difficult problem." The BCCI announced that one ball would be changed in the second innings of evening games at the bowling team's request to counter dew. "I think it's a really pragmatic answer to a difficult problem, and it doesn't affect every ground, we know that," Vettori told reporters on the eve of SRH's opening match against Rajasthan Royals.
Former Australia captain Michael Clarke feels pacer Jasprit Bumrah's injury might have a negative impact on Mumbai Indians (MI)'s IPL 2025 campaign. Bumrah will miss the first few games of the tournament as he is currently recuperating from a back injury at the BCCI Centre of Excellence at Bengaluru. MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed Bumrah would be needing some time to recover properly, but admitted his absence leaves a big void as the team bids for a record sixth IPL title.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) may have finished runners-up in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), but they lit up the tournament with some of the most sensational power-hitting ever seen in T20 cricket. In IPL 2025, that power-hitting department has only been bolstered, making SRH one of the favourites to make the playoffs, if not go all the way. The Sunrisers wrote a chapter in the evolution of T20 batting in 2024, and could well set more mind-boggling records in 2025.
Saudi Arabia is planning to enter the world of franchise cricket by injecting $500 million (Rs 4347,42,00,000) into a T20 league. According to a report, the proposed eight-team league will follow a tennis Grand Slam-like model, with teams assembling across four different locations in a year. The league will be backed by Saudi Arabia's SRJ Sports Investments, headed by Danny Townsend, a former chief executive of the A-League. According to a report in The Age, discussions about the league have been going of for a year between the SRJ Sports Investments and the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Australia's T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been cleared to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season for his new team, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), as a batter-only. Despite missing the Champions Trophy due to a back injury, he is set to travel early next week. Marsh was ruled out of the ODI tour of Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy on January 31 due to "lower back pain and dysfunction", ending his domestic season. The issue, linked to a disc problem he had managed since Australia's limited-overs tour of the UK in September 2024, saw him undergo rest and specialist treatment in early February.
