IPL auction 2022: I have made more cricketers millionaires than anybody else, but the next IPL auctioneer should be an Indian, says auctioneer Richard Madley

Richard Madley from the IPL auctions? He hosted IPL auctions over a decade, from its opening edition in 2008 to 2018, after which he was replaced by Hugh Edmeades, the current IPL auctioneer. Madley, who became synonymous with the IPL auction, still has the gavel with him which he used for IPL auctions. He is currently an ECB Level-2 cricket umpire in the UK. With less than a day to go now for the IPL Mega Auction 2022, Madley spoke to TimesofIndia.com from England about his long association with the IPL auctions, some interesting facts, anecdotes, and much more... Excerpts....What have you been up to lately?What a pleasure it is to join you today. I'm in remarkably good health. The cricket season hasn't started yet. But I've retrained as an umpire. I'm an ECB Level-2 cricket umpire now. So, no longer playing. But I'm actually comparing umpiring with being an auctioneer, very similar, very similar attributes. I should be in control. I should make sure that Fair Play is carried out throughout the game.

"Shifted My Focus From...": Shikhar Dhawan On Competition For Opening Slots In Team India

After their defeat in South Africa this year, India bounced back in style and clinched the ongoing three-match ODI series vs West Indies in Ahmedabad with a game remaining. 2-0 up, the hosts will be aiming to complete a clean sweep in the ongoing third ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium. All eyes will also be on Shikhar Dhawan during the third ODI, who missed the first two games. The opener missed the first ODI after testing positive for Covid-19 and resumed training before the second match but wasn't included in the playing XI. The veteran will be hoping to put in a good display especially with the rising competition for the opener slots within the Indian setup. Such was the competition that the experienced cricketer wasn't included in last year's T20 World Cup squad. Ahead of the third ODI, Dhawan was asked about the competition for openers in the national team. Answering the question, he revealed he had shifted focus from "contribution to competition".

IPL Auction 2022: Has IPL and its money changed the way cricket is looked at as a career?

Indian Premier League (IPL) was only into its third edition when former England captain Nasser Hussain made that statement in 2010. In the form of the shareholding pattern of the erstwhile Kochi franchise, the league had its share of the first of many controversies that followed. But the magnitude of money involved in the league, which kept getting bigger with every year, became the wind beneath IPL's wings.

Ajinkya Rahane - Exclusive: I don't say too much, do my job quietly, but that doesn't mean people should take me for granted: Ajinkya Rahane - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Australia - South Africa - India

Exclusive: I don't say too much, do my job quietly, but that doesn't mean people should take me for granted: Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane is going through a lean patch is no secret and no one knows that more than Rahane himself and he readily accepts that. The 33-year-old guided India to an unforgettable come-from-behind series win in Australia in 2020-21, after Virat Kohli left on paternity leave post the debacle in Adelaide (India 36 all out). But post that Rahane saw a slump in his own batting form, after a stellar role with the bat and as a captain in the series Down Under. Rahane lost the India Test vice captaincy to Rohit Sharma ahead of the tour of South Africa, on which he had poor run of form, managing to score just 136 runs in 3 Tests (6 innings). His shot selection came under the scanner and his place in the playing XI was questioned. Rahane will now be going back to domestic cricket and is hoping to have a good outing in the Ranji Trophy, where he aims to score lots of runs to recover his lost touch. Despite all the criticism he has faced in recent times, Rahane remains unruffled and is confident that he will be back with a bang, maintaining that there is still international cricket left in him.
