Basseterre, (St Kitts), Aug 28 (Ians) Veteran off-spinner Sunil Narine became the first cricketer to be shown a red card for over-rate breach in a Caribbean Premier League (Cpl) match for his team Trinbago Knight Riders (Tkr) against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
The ongoing Cpl 2023 saw the organisers introduce new penalties to tackle slow over rates, leading to games ending very late. It said, “if a fielding team starts their 18th over beyond the scheduled time, they would need to bring one extra fielder inside the thirty-yard circle.”
“If they were behind before the start of the 19th over as well, another fielder had to come in, making it just three outside the circle. If the fielding team is still behind before the start of the final over, they would be shown a red card, and be required to send a fielder of their choice off the field.”

Abu Dhabi Feb 4 (Ians) Breezy knocks by consistent opener Muhammad Waseem and skipper Kieron Pollard backed by Dwayne Bravo’s three-wicket spell carried Mi Emirates into the playoffs with an impressive 18-run win over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the 26th match of the Dp World ILT20 here.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ winless run continued after they let Mi Emirates post 180 for 4 in 20 overs through some poor fielding and unimpressive bowling at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Friday night.
Dropping Waseem thrice, they let the high-scoring UAE opener flourish and hit 60 runs off 43 balls with six sixes and one boundary. Skipper Pollard’s cameo of 43 off just 17 balls with four boundaries and three sixes swelled the total.

New Delhi, Dec 26 (Ians) Ahead of the inaugural edition of the ILT20 in the UAE, former India opener Virender Sehwag believes West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran is a dangerous player and if he comes in the form, then his team Mi Emirates stands to benefit hugely.
Pooran’s form has been a huge point of concern, amassing just 94 runs in his last 10 innings in T20Is. In West Indies’ shock first-round exit from the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia, Pooran had scores of 5, 7 and 13 and stepped down as the side’s white-ball skipper.
“Nicholas Pooran is a dangerous player. While his performance in the Icc men’s T20 World Cup was not up to the mark, he is a brilliant player. In the recent Abu Dhabi T10 innings, he scored 70-80 runs in mere 20-25 balls. If he comes in the form, it will definitely benefit Mi Emirates.

Agarwal was named as the captain of Punjab Kings for Ipl 2022 and was retained by the franchise for a whopping Inr 12 crores. But a promotion to leadership didn’t lead to a truckload of runs with the bat as he scored just 196 runs in 13 matches at an average of 16.33.
On the leadership front, he didn’t fare well as Punjab ended the season at sixth place in the ten-team points table. In November, Agarwal was released by the side after the announcement came of Shikhar Dhawan replacing him as captain of Punjab Kings, with Trevor Bayliss replacing Anil Kumble as head coach.
"He (Mayank) will definitely go big. If anybody doesn’t pick him, I will be very disappointed because he is sort of an explosive player. I know he is probably hurt within himself that he has not been retained by Punjab Kings after what he has sacrificed for...

Despite having so much depth and talent, India have not been able to win the Icc for nine years now. They won the Icc Champions Trophy back in 2013 under M.S. Dhoni’s captaincy.
"So many people follow Indian cricket, and the media, too, keep a close watch. India has a huge pool of talent but I guess the pressure of performing in the big tournament…your best players do that, but I think that’s all it is," Ali told Ians on the sideline of Abu Dhabi T10 here.
Asked what went wrong for India in the T20 World Cup, he said, "India missed a leg spinner there in Australia and the team came across England on a very good day."
Moeen Ali is leading Morrisville Samp Army in the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10. Talking about the league, he said, "T10 is difficult, the pace of the game is really tough.

The star all-rounder recently led India to victory in the T20I series against New Zealand. He has also captained India previously in Ireland in the absence of Rohit Sharma.
With age not on Rohit’s side, there are talks doing the rounds that Pandya should be made full-time captain in the shortest format ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Rashid Khan seconds these thoughts and said, "Pandya is a fantastic player. I think he deserves to be captain of the national side. I have played under him. I will be more than happy if he is made permanent captain of the India T20 side. It is difficult to manage players and he understands it so well and did his job brilliantly in the Ipl.
"I will be more than happy if he gets that chance. And I wish him all the best for that, also I am waiting to...
