Ross Adair scored a century and his younger brother Mark took four wickets as Ireland beat South Africa by 10 runs on Sunday in the second of their Twenty20 internationals to tie the two-match series.
The countdown has begun for the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises to start working on their release and retention list. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the retention rules on Saturday, paving the way for the franchises to finalise the list of players they wish to keep ahead of the mega auction. The board has allowed franchises to retain a maximum of 6 players, either through direct retention or Right-To-Match card. However, with retention cost increased by the BCCI, striking the perfect balance between keep players and buying them through RTM in the auction, will be key to success.
Aiden Markram's calm innings helped South Africa avoid suffering a series clean sweep by Afghanistan with a seven-wicket victory in the third one-day international in Sharjah on Sunday.
Aiden Markram's calm innings helped South Africa avoid suffering a series clean sweep by Afghanistan with a seven-wicket victory in the third one-day international in Sharjah on Sunday. The Proteas cruised to their target of 170 thanks to an unbeaten 69 from Markram, having briefly wobbled at 80-3. Afghanistan had already wrapped up a historic series triumph after winning the first two matches but struggled with the bat after winning the toss. Only the in-form Rahmanullah Gurbaz put up any real fight with an excellent, 94-ball 89, but when he fell Afghanistan were 132-7. Key batters Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Ikram Alikhil were all run out in a haphazard display.
As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction gets closer, franchises are finalising the list of players they wish to retain. Though the number of retained players would depend upon the guidelines set by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the franchises are reportedly moving ahead with their draft retention lists. After the Chennai Super Kings' reported retention list came out, the Delhi Capitals' priority of players has been made public in a report. The list suggests that skipper Rishabh Pant would be the franchise's No. 1 pick, ending the speculation about his potential reunion with Ricky Ponting at Punjab Kings.
Star India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant made a strong statement in the ongoing 1st Test against Bangladesh in Chennai as he scored his 6th Test century during the second innings of the match. Making his first Test appearance after December 2022, Pant took the Bangladesh bowlers to the cleaners during his 109-run stay in the middle. While Pant has been in the news over the speculations about his future at Delhi Capitals (DC), it has now been reported that the 26-year-old is set to be retained by the franchise ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction.
