The BCCI selectors have decided to reward batter <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/karun-nair" rel="dofollow">Karun Nair</a> with a call-up to the India-A squad for the upcoming India tour of England 2025 starting June 20 in Leeds. The latest report suggests Karun, who made headlines for outstanding performances in India&rsquo;s domestic tournaments the past season, will be part of two four-day practice matches against England Lions starting May 30. An ECB statement read that India A will play the second game beginning June 6.
Karun capped off his best-ever domestic season as the highest run-scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the fourth-highest in the premier Ranji Trophy tournament, scoring 863 runs from nine matches, including four centuries and two fifties, averaging 54.
Even in the 50-over competition in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Karun amassed a massive 779 runs from nine outings, hitting five hundreds and averaging a mind-boggling 389.50.&nbsp;
"I'm not the right person to ask. I cannot comment on that. I have to just say that I have to keep performing in every game that I get, and if it happens, it happens. I have to do my job to the best," Karun said of his India call-up chances following his brilliant 132 against Kerala in the Ranji Trophy final.

Kohli and Rohit to play India A matches ahead of England Tests – Report

Something is brewing behind the scenes in England cricket. Despite the IPL and the BCCI listing out repercussions for those opting out of a season if not injured or for unavoidable reasons, England star batter <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/harry-brook" rel="dofollow">Harry Brook</a> pulled out of the ongoing 18th edition to prioritise the national team, thus facing a two-year ban. Former opener Nick Knight explains why English cricketers have lately begun pulling their names out of the cash-rich league.
It&rsquo;s not the first time England players have pulled their names out of the IPL. Brook decided to pull out last year, although for personal reasons, while several top English cricketers, including Joe Root and Ben Stokes, decided against registering for the IPL auction. However, Brook and seamer Brydon Carse will not feature in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ipl-2025" rel="dofollow">IPL 2025</a>, with only ten players from England participating.

"Rob Key, who is in charge back at the ECB, has basically tried to - and he's fairly right - encouraged his players to play as much for England [as possible]," Nick Knight said on ESPNcricinfo's T20 TimeOut show.&nbsp;
"They've got a five-Test series against India. They've got an Ashes to follow. They've got multi-format players, like Harry Brook and Mark Wood - they're pretty well looked after now. And they're going to have to be looked after.

So there are a number of these sorts of factors flying around for some of these players,&rdquo; he continued.

Boost for England as former captain makes grand return to cricket for WCL 2025

KKR pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee rejected team captain <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ajinkya-rahane" rel="dofollow">Ajinkya Rahane</a>&rsquo;s request to prepare pitches that could aid their spinners so that they could maximise their home advantage, with broadcasters Harsha Bhogle and Simon Doull coming down hard on him for disrespecting Rahane. Although KKR won their second game of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ipl-2025" rel="dofollow">IPL 2025</a> by <a href="https://www.wionews.com/cricket/ipl-2025-rr-vs-kkr-live-score-updates-6th-match-rajasthan-royals-vs-kolkata-knight-riders-today-live-cricket-match-scorecard-26-march-8893149" rel="dofollow">beating Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati</a>, their home loss in the tournament opener didn&rsquo;t sit well with cricket experts.
Knowing KKR has enjoyed enormous success banking on their spin attack, no assistance provided for the curtain raiser this time hurt their result, as RCB prevailed in a lop-sided contest. After posting a moderate 174/8 in the first innings, KKR could pick just three RCB wickets, two of which came to their mystery spin pair of Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine.

Meanwhile, Bhogle pointed out how home teams rightly use the pitch advantage to their benefit, and if all IPL teams are getting this privilege, then KKR should also. The veteran TV commentator expressed displeasure over KKR&rsquo;s pitch curator remarks, saying Rahane never asked for rank turners or 120-run pitches; instead, all that he asked for were the surfaces where his spinners could get some purchase.
"RR, if they are playing at home, should get the tracks that they think are suited for their bowlers. So too with KKR. I saw something what the KKR curator has said. If I'm in the KKR camp, I'm extremely unhappy of what he said because I'm not asking for a 120 surface.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I'm just saying give me a surface where my bowlers can win matches. To say, 'Sorry, we don't prepare pitches like that...' No. We are not asking you to make a 120 pitch, we are not asking you to make a 240 pitch.&nbsp;
&ldquo;But I think home advantage in a tournament like IPL is absolutely legitimate. That will enhance the tournament because winning away becomes crucial then," Bhogle said in a Cricbuzz show.
<h2>What did KKR pitch curator say?</h2>
Since taking over the job ten years ago, Sujan has ensured the Eden Gardens pitch remains quick, assisting bounce and seam movement, unlike the ones prepared previously, where it used to benefit spinners, something the former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir banked (with his spin-heavy squads) winning two IPL titles (2012 and 2014).&nbsp;
Although Rahane put it under the mat after the RCB loss, saying the pitch behaved such because they covered it for some time, Sujan outright denied accepting any requests for altering its condition in games to come.&nbsp;
&ldquo;As per the IPL rules and regulations, franchises have no say over the pitch,&rdquo; he said in a chat with RevSportz. &ldquo;Ever since I have taken charge (as Eden curator), the pitches here have been like this. It was like this in the past. Things haven&rsquo;t changed now, and it will not be altered in the future.&rdquo;
<h3>&lsquo;He&rsquo;s not paid&hellip;&rsquo;</h3>
While Bhogle kept it subtle in criticising KKR&rsquo;s curator, Doull didn&rsquo;t mince his words, coming down hard on him.&nbsp;
"If he's not taking heed of what the home team wants... I mean they are paying the stadium fees, they are paying for what's going on in the IPL but if he's still not paying heed of what the home team wants, then just move the franchise away to somewhere else.
"His job is not to pass an opinion on the game. That's not what he's paid for," Doull said.&nbsp;

If I'm in the KKR camp, I'm extremely unhappy of what he said because I'm not asking for a 120 surface. “I'm just saying give me a surface where my bowlers can win matches. To say, 'Sorry, we don't prepare pitches like that...' No. We are not asking you to make a 120 pitch, we are not asking you to make a 240 pitch. “But I think home advantage in a tournament like IPL is absolutely legitimate. That will enhance the tournament because winning away becomes crucial then," Bhogle said in a Cricbuzz show. What did KKR pitch curator say? Since taking over the job ten years ago, Sujan has ensured the Eden Gardens pitch remains quick, assisting bounce and seam movement, unlike the ones prepared previously, where it used to benefit spinners, something the former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir banked (with his spin-heavy squads) winning two IPL titles (2012 and 2014). Although Rahane put it under the mat after the RCB loss, saying the pitch behaved such because they covered it for some time, Sujan outright denied accepting any requests for altering its condition in games to come. “As per the IPL rules and regulations, franchises have no say over the pitch,” he said in a chat with RevSportz. “Ever since I have taken charge (as Eden curator), the pitches here have been like this. It was like this in the past. Things haven’t changed now, and it will not be altered in the future.” ‘He’s not paid…’ While Bhogle kept it subtle in criticising KKR’s curator, Doull didn’t mince his words, coming down hard on him. "If he's not taking heed of what the home team wants... I mean they are paying the stadium fees, they are paying for what's going on in the IPL but if he's still not paying heed of what the home team wants, then just move the franchise away to somewhere else. "His job is not to pass an opinion on the game. That's not what he's paid for," Doull said. (With inputs from agencies)

IPL 2025 - Bhogle, Doull unhappy with KKR pitch curator for disrespecting captain Rahane

RR vs KKR, Highlights, IPL 2025:&nbsp;South Africa's Quinton de Kock struck an unbeaten 97 as holders Kolkata Knight Riders registered their first win of the IPL season with an eight-wicket hammering of Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Kolkata Knight Riders win in Guwahati</h2>
Spinners Moeen Ali and Varun Chakravarthy combined to help restrict Rajasthan to 151-9 after KKR elected to field first in Guwahati.
De Kock bossed the chase with his 61-ball innings laced with eight fours and six sixes as Kolkata achieved their target with 15 balls to spare.
He handed his team a quick start, hitting two fours but then lost opening partner Moeen, run out for five.
Skipper Ajinkya Rahane fell after a brisk 18 but De Kock stood firm and along with impact substitute Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who made 22, steered the team home in an unbeaten stand of 83.
De Kock finished with a six off Jofra Archer as Kolkata bounced back from their opening loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Rajasthan suffered their second straight loss.
Earlier, Kolkata fast bowler Vaibhav Arora dismissed Sanju Samson, bowled for 13, and Chakravarthy and Moeen soon took two wickets each.
Wicketkeeper Samson is Rajasthan's regular captain but has been forced to play only as a batter in the first three matches due to an injury.

Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson, who is still recovering from finger surgery, will continue to feature as an Impact Player. Riyan Parag, whose captaincy tenure got off to a tough start, is set to lead the side once again.
Kolkata Knight Riders: KKR's bowlers could have their task cut out against RR, whose batters - barring Shimron Hetmyer - are generally comfortable against spin. They also have the firepower to exploit inexperience in the pace department, which was evident in RCB's run-chase.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Mitchell Marsh acknowledged that his team going to be 'under pressure at some point' when they face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday (Mar 27). SRH have already announced themselves with second highest total of IPL history - 286/6 - in their season opener of IPL 2025 against Rajasthan Royals.
"We know they're going to come hard. I think there are not many T20 teams in the world now that don't go hard from ball one and try to apply as much pressure as they can to a bowling team. So we know we're going to be under pressure at some point tomorrow night," Marsh said while talking to reporters on the match eve.

The all-rounder, who himself scored 36-ball 72 for LSG against Delhi Capitals, also says that the par score has gone up on most of the grounds in T20s.
"It seems 230 is now the new par score at most grounds. We respect that they have got a phenomenal batting line-up with a lot of power, but we're here to focus on our game and hopefully match with them," Marsh added.
LSG are currently dealing with a loss of a few bowling options including speedster Mayank Yadav whose recovery has been pushed back by a toe injury. Marsh, however, sounded confident of LSG's depth for the potential high-scoring tie against SRH.
"Yeah, we have a few guys out, no doubt, but I think we have assembled a really solid squad," Marsh said. "There is no doubt that in time we will welcome guys back into the team who have a bit of experience with the ball. But we certainly back our [current] bowlers to do the job. I don't see it as a lack of depth."
The game will be played in SRH's home ground in Hyderabad which certainly offers more advantage to their brute-force ideology.

IPL 2025 Stats: After one match for each team, here's how the numbers look like

Former New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson says that India youngster Abhishek Sharma is one of the most dangerous T20 batters in the world. The statement came on a ESPNCricinfo show during ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Williamson had captained Abhishek at SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the past.
Abhishek now forms one half of one of the most dangerous opening pairs in IPL with Travis Head on the other end. He was brought in by SRH from Delhi Capitals in 2019 and in 2024 he fully paid the trust shown in him - hitting 484 runs in 16 innings at a strike rate of 204.

"Sometimes in the IPL, it's quite difficult to have a long pathway for a young player. But yeah, a real masterstroke obviously now bearing fruit with Abhi being one of the most dangerous T20 batters in the world," said Williamson on his late blooming.
"I think there were a few guys who were kind of under Yuvraj Singh's wings," Williamson added. "Abhi was one of them and Shubman [Gill] was another. So clearly there was an identification of talent.
"He has got that gift of power but it's not through brute force. It is through timing the ball and playing all around the ground, which is a superpower in a lot of ways. It's a little bit like Heinrich Klaasen"
His last year's IPL exploits also earned him a place in the India T20I team which had two vacant places at the top after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired post T20 World Cup 2024 win.
Abhishek shone there as well - scoring 535 runs in 17 games at an average of 33.43 and a strike rate of 193 - with two hundreds and two fifties.
In the first match of the IPL 2025, Abhishek scored 24 off 11 balls as SRH once again had a flying start of 45 runs in three overs.

There's no par score - this is what Punjab Kings bowler Arshdeep Singh had to say after defending 27 runs in the final over against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 match on Tuesday (Mar 25). PBKS had posted 244 runs in 20 overs but managed to win only by 11 runs - showing the level power hitting has reached in the cash-rich T20 league.
In the ongoing season, five matches have been played with each team playing at least one match and six of them have already breached 200-run mark. The season has seen six 200+ scored in the 10 innings with the highest being 286/6 by SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in only the second match of the IPL 2025.

The average first innings score in IPL 2025 has been 213/7 at a run-rate of 10.65 with the highest being 286/6 by SRH. Out of five matches, three teams have managed to breach the 200+ score in the first innings - 286 by SRH vs Rajasthan Royals, 208 by Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals and 244 by PBKS vs GT.&nbsp;
Out of these three, two time the team batting first have won while the team batting second have won the remaining two games where the chase was less than 200.
In the second innings, the average score has been 204/6 with the highest being 242/6 by Royals albeit in a losing cause against SRH. The three teams which have scored in excess of 200+ in second innings are - Royals, DC (211 vs LSG) and GT (232 vs PBKS). Only DC though, have managed to win and that too barely by one wicket.
A total of 58 sixes have been hit by the teams batting first in the IPL 2025 - which translates to roughly one six every two overs. While batting second, 61 sixes have been hit which shows that the batters have not been sparing bowlers now matter the score, conditions or pressure.
If the trend continues, the season is poised to have many more runs fests in the coming games - more than 70 of them.

In the second innings, the average score has been 204/6 with the highest being 242/6 by Royals albeit in a losing cause against SRH. The three teams which have scored in excess of 200+ in second innings are - Royals, DC (211 vs LSG) and GT (232 vs PBKS). Only DC though, have managed to win and that too barely by one wicket. A total of 58 sixes have been hit by the teams batting first in the IPL 2025 - which translates to roughly one six every two overs. While batting second, 61 sixes have been hit which shows that the batters have not been sparing bowlers now matter the score, conditions or pressure. If the trend continues, the season is poised to have many more runs fests in the coming games - more than 70 of them.

119 sixes, 183 fours and six 200+ scores in 5 matches: IPL 2025 is already a run-fest and 'there is no par score'

Punjab Kings (PBKS) coach Ricky Pontign has revealed that it was bowler Vijaykumar Vyshak who changed the game in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Tuesday (Mar 25). PBKS had posted a daunting total of 244 which GT almost but chased down in 11-run loss.
Vyshak was brought in as an impact player for PBKS and changed the complexion of the game. He gave away 28 runs in his three overs, including the high-pressure penultimate over of the chase. Vyshak only conceded 18 runs in the 19th over, leaving Arshdeep 27 runs to defend in the last over.

"While sitting in the dugout, I was like they need 13 or 14 runs an over and I sent the message to Shreyas and asked what do you want to do and he straight away said, just get Vyshak out here. He will nail a couple of overs at yorkers and we will close the game and Vyshak was the one who changed the game," said Ponting in a release by the franchise.
The bowler himself felt pretty good about his performance during which he gave away only 10 runs in his first two overs in a game where more than 450 runs were scored.
"It's a surreal feeling when you win the game, especially when you do it for the team in that situation, it really feels good and you can go to bed with a lot of happiness. I have learnt a lot today as well and it's a great lesson for me. Though, I was running around, I didn't know until we started bowling that I might be an impact player. I am really glad I got this opportunity and won it for the team," Vyshak said.
PBKS next play Lucknow Super Giants on April 1 in an away game.

IPL 2025: PBKS coach Ponting says not Shreyas Iyer or Shashank Singh but THIS bowler 'changed the game' vs GT

Gujarat Titans lost their IPL 2025 season opener against Punjab Kings by 11 runs on Tuesday (Mar 25) in a huge chase of 244. Titans gave it all while trying to compensate for bowlers but eventually fell short and managed 232/5. Titans skipper Shubman Gill reflected on the loss and said that middle overs and lack of runs in the first few overs caused them the game.
"We got our chances when we were bowling and batting. Too many runs we conceded in the back end of the innings. Those three overs in the middle, we scored around 18 runs. That, and our first three overs we didn't score many runs. That cost us the game. Apart from that, many positives for us today," said Gill to broadcasters after the game.

Punjab Kings were well supported by skipper Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 97 off 42. He sacrificed his century for maximum innings total and Shashank Singh paid the faith with five fours in last over - finished 44 off 16 balls. At the top, debutant Priyansh Arya scored a sparkling 47 off 23 balls.
"Ecstatic, to be honest. Getting 97 not out in the first match is always the icing on the cake. No better feeling to be honest. It was important for me to go ahead and adapt. I got four off the first ball, and that gave an immense boost. That flicked six off Rabada - I think the momentum changed," said Iyer off his innings.
While chasing, GT were going good with 145/2 at 12.3 overs after scoring 61 in first six overs. Sai Sudharsan got out after scoring 74 off 41 balls and a bit of slowdown followed. Jos Buttler, who went on to score 54 off 33, and Sherfane Rutheford (46 off 28) took them to almost 199 in 18 overs.
With two overs remaining, the task was hard and Vijaykumar Vyshak gave 19 runs in the penultimate over - leaving 27 for Arshdeep Singh in the last over which the India pacer defended successfully.

GT vs PBKS, IPL 2025, Highlights: Punjab Kings beat 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Gujarat Titans by 11 runs in their opening game of the latest season.

<h2>GT vs PBKS, IPL 2025, Highlights</h2>
ndia batsman Shreyas Iyer led from the front with an unbeaten 97 to set up a 11-run win for Punjab Kings in a big-hitting IPL clash with Gujarat Titans on Tuesday.
Iyer's 42-ball knock steered the team to 243-5 after being invited to bat first at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat finished on 232-5 despite a valiant 41-ball 74 by opener Sai Sudharsan who set up a blazing start to the run chase, featuring a 84-run second wicket stand with England's Jos Buttler (54).
Both sides walloped 16 sixes each across the two innings on the fourth day of the cash-rich Indian Premier League T20 tournament.
Iyer, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to a title win last year, has already gone some way to justifying his top price tag, after Punjab paid a whopping 3.17 million dollars in the November auction.

GT vs PBKS, Highlights: Punjab Kings beat Gujarat Titans by 11 runs to open campaign on winning note

Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer showed the ultimate teamsmanship as he sacrificed his well-deserved 100 to maximise the overall innings score. Iyer remained not out on 97 off 42 balls - hitting five fours and nine sixes in his innings as PBKS finished with 243/5 in their season opener against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday (Mar 25).
Iyer was on 91 runs with two overs remaining and him having the strike - the batter hit a four on the first ball of the penultimate over but then a single on every other ball meant he ended up on non-strike with one over left in the innings.

Shashank Singh, who was batting equally well, was on the strike with 22 off 10 balls. Shashank also made full use of opportunity given by his skipper and hit 23 runs in the last over with five fours, one double and a wide.
Shashank also revealed that Iyer had asked him to not worry about his hundred - "Let me be very honest - Shreyas, from ball one, said don't worry about my hundred," he told the presenters during innings break.
Shashank also finished at 44 not out off 16 balls with six fours and two sixes and was happy with his innings. He and Iyer added record 81 runs for the franchise for sixth wicket.
"Yes, it was a good cameo. But looking at Shreyas, that motivated me even more. I try and make sure I get the boundaries. When you go at that number, it's more likely that you'll not get a good hit. I know the shots I can back. I focus on my strengths rather than things which I can't do," he said.
Earlier, PBKS batter Priyansh Arya dazzled on his debut and scored 47 off just 23 balls as the team finished at 73/1 in the powerplay.

Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer showed the ultimate teamsmanship as he sacrificed his well-deserved 100 to maximise the overall innings score. Iyer remained not out on 97 off 42 balls - hitting five fours and nine sixes in his innings as PBKS finished with 243/5 in their season opener against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday (Mar 25). Iyer was on 91 runs with two overs remaining and him having the strike - the batter hit a four on the first ball of the penultimate over but then a single on every other ball meant he ended up on non-strike with one over left in the innings.

'Don't worry about my hundred': Ultimate team man Shreyas Iyer sacrifices maiden IPL ton by 3 runs during PBKS vs GT

Punjab Kings opening batter Priyansh Arya showed in his debut match during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 that why was he bought for nearly 13 times of his base price at the auction. The 24-year-old Delhi-based batter scored 47 off 23 balls - missing a well-deserved 50 by just three runs.
The opening batter smashed seven fours and two sixes during his sojourn but made a big impact as PBKS finished with 73 runs for the loss of one wicket in the powerplay.

Arya started calmly and hit only one four in his first nine balls and was 17 off 11 balls at one point. He changed gears in fifth over the innings, hitting Gujarat Titans' Arshad Khan for three fours and a six in one over. He also hit South Africa's star pacer Kagiso Rabada for two fours in the last over of powerplay.&nbsp;
In the next over, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan got better of the youngster but not before even him conceding a four.
Arya first grabbed the eyeballs when he hit six sixes in an overs during Delhi Premier League (DPL) while scoring 120 off just 50 balls last year. He entered the IPL mega auction at a base price of INR 30 lakh ($35,000) but went on to fetch INR 3.8 crore ($443,000 approx) after a bidding war among the franchises.
Arya, if he keeps his form, will play a crucial role in Punjab Kings' season this year as they look to win their maiden IPL trophy under new captain Shreyas Iyer and new coach Ricky Ponting.
Ponting and Iyer have had success as coach-captain duo at Delhi Capitals. Under them, DC attained their best ever result in the IPL history - finishing runners-up in 2020 season.&nbsp;
Iyer has had a successful year leading to the IPL, especially in Champions Trophy 2025 where he was India's highest run scorer and overall second with 243 runs.

'47 off 23 balls': Bought at 13 times of base price, PBKS Gen Z batter Priyansh Arya sparks on IPL debut

Former Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal, who underwent an emergency angioplasty on Monday (Mar 24), is under risk for next 48 to 72 hours said the doctors. Iqbal had suffered chest pain during a Dhaka Premier League (DPL) game which subsequently led to discovery of a blockage in his heart.
"48 to 72 hours is risky. And he will have to be given three months to return to normal activities like sports. Apart from that, he will do normal activities and walk at home. But he will have to rest," said Abdul Wadud Chowdhury, director of Bangladesh's National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases.

"We told him that there is a slight risk so that there are no further problems, that the next 48-72 hours are a critical period. He should talk less. He should rest a little. He should not be excited in any way. The initial period is for him to stabilise here for a while and then he can go to a good place for his rehabilitation," he added.
Iqbal was playing for Mohammedan Sporting Club against Shinepukur Cricket Club a the BKSP-3 ground in Savar city in the 50-over match. A helicopter was flown in to carry Tamim out but he was later shifted to nearby Fazilatunnesa Hospital, reported ESPNCricinfo quoting match referee Debabrata Paul.
Tamim took his own car to the hospital and was advised to visit another hospital via air ambulance. The airlift, however, couldn't happen because of the health situation and the batter returned to Fazilatunnesa Hospital.&nbsp;
He underwent tests and a blockage was discovered in his heart for which he underwent an emergency angioplasty.
Tamim thanked the doctors and fans after his successful surgery and said wrote on social media: "I am fortune that so many amazing people were around me in my time of need. All your efforts and prudence helped me overcome the crisis. My request is for everyone to stand by each other. I thank all of you. Keep praying for me and my family. Without you, there's no Tamim Iqbal."
