The Indian Premier League (IPL) mega-auctions are fast approaching as franchises get ready to stamp their authority for the upcoming season. While the on-field battle begins not before March 2025, the off-field battle is taking shape after the IPL governing council announced the retention rules on Saturday (Sep 28). The IPL governing council has now also set a deadline of October 31 for the franchises to finalise the player retentions for the next three years.

<h2>Franchises to retain players before October 31</h2>

After the IPL governing council announced the rules for player retentions, they are ready to go forward with the next step, which will be the IPL mega-auctions likely to take place in November. The franchises will have until entire month of October to decide on players they want to release for the auctions and ones they want to keep.

"It is at the discretion of the IPL franchise to choose their combination for retentions and RTMs," the IPL release said. "The six retentions/RTMs can have a maximum of five capped players and a maximum of two uncapped players."

Once the retention is finalised, IPL governing council will be ready to go forward with the mega-auctions process and finalise the list of players. More than 500 and close to 600 players could be part of the mega-auctions but the final figure and names will be confirmed only when all the franchise announce their retentions.

<h2>When are the mega auctions?</h2>

Yet to be confirmed, the IPL mega-auctions could take place in the third or fourth week of November. As expected, it will be a two-day auctions process with hundreds of players going under the hammer. Like IPL 2024 mini auctions, the mega auctions for this season is also expected to be held overseas, with the United Kingdom being one of the names in the hat.

The latest win sees Sri Lanka in third place with a PCT (win percentage) of 55.56 from nine matches. They are in fact one of four teams yet to draw a match in the current WTC cycle.

The third day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur was called off without any play on Sunday (Sep 29) due to wet outfield. The first day of the Test was also curtailed to only 35 overs before early stumps due to rain interruption while no play happened on second day due to persistent rain.

There was no rain on third day but the start of play was delayed due to wet outfield. The umpires made an inspection at 10 am local time and deemed the ground condition unfit to play. The second inspection was done at 12 pm local time and the conditions hadn't improved enough yet for the play, cancelling the second session as well.

After the final inspection at 2 pm, the umpires called it a day without play for the second time in two days.

Bangladesh scored 107/3 in 35 overs on day 1 with pacer Akash Deep taking two of those wickets and spinner Rai Ashwin taking the third one - his 420th wicket in Asia.

Both the teams read the pitch differently as suggested by their playing XI selection. India are unchanged from the first Test in Chennai where they played three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep.&nbsp;

Bangladesh, on the other hand, are playing three spinners in the second Test as opposed to two in the first Test.

The two-match series, however, is 1-0 in favour of India after they won the Chennai Test by 280 runs in nearly three and a half days.

With only two more days left in the Tests, a draw seems the most plausible outcome, giving India a series win.

IND vs BAN, 2nd Test: Day 3 called off without play due to wet outfield

Sri Lanka completed a 2-0 series sweep against New Zealand with a 154-run win in the second and final Test of the series on Sunday (Sep 29). This was Sri Lanka's third straight Test win after beating England in the last of three Tests before the home series against the Kiwis.

The visitors were always catching up in the game after Sri Lanka put on 602/5 in the first innings before declaring and bowling the Kiwis out for 88 in their first innings.

New Zealand came out all guns blazing in the second innings but it was too little too late for them despite getting 360 in the second innings. Debutant Nishan Peiris took 6/170 in the second innings to go with his three in the first while Prabath Jayasuriya, who took a six-fer in the first innings, took three more in the second.

It was, however, Kamindu Mendis who was declared Player of the Match for his 182 not out in SL's only batting innings – his fifth ton of the year in Tests and ninth 50+ score in 13 Test innings he has played.

"I'm enjoying scoring runs - especially in Galle, which is my hometown. Credit goes to Kusal and Chandimal as well. It's [about having] the same mindset, and some small changes I made for England. I changed some things for here as well," said Mendis to broadcasters after the match.

Jayasuriya, who took nine wickets in the first Galle Test as well, was named Player of the Series for his 18 wickets in two games. The spinner praised his teammate and debutant Peiris for making things easy.

"Nishan Peiris is good. It was positive from him. This pitch was harder than the previous one. We plan to do our basic things [right]. We just try to keep bowling wicket to wicket," he said.

Sri Lanka's skipper Dananjaya de Silva acknowledged the overall effort including by the fielders and said: "I call well and toss well! Nishan was brilliant, he was doing well in domestic cricket. He has the control. We have been practising hard [with the catching], and it has paid off."

Sri Lanka win second Test to complete series whitewash against New Zealand

The path for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has been cleared to retain talisman wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni as an uncapped Indian player ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. The development comes as IPL has decided to bring back an old rule which would treat Indian players, who have been retired for five years, as uncapped players.

Dhoni, who retired in 2020, has continued to play IPL since and CSK will be shelling out only INR 4 crore or $500,000, should they decide to retain the 43-year-old.

"A capped Indian player will become uncapped if he has in the five calendar years preceding the year in which the relevant season is held, not played in the starting XI in international cricket or does not have a central contract with BCCI. This will be applicable for Indian players only," read the document shared with the franchises by IPL as reported by the cricket website ESPNCricinfo.

Over the last couple of seasons though, Dhoni has been giving away responsibilities to other players as the news around his retirement makes rounds.

He gave the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad in 2024 while coming down the order majorly as a boundary hitter only. The rumours around his retirement have been ripe ever since 2023 season and a knee surgery after that.

The 43-year-old said at a recent event that&nbsp;CSK are waiting for retention rules to come out to decide on the future course of action.

Dhoni is one of the most successful skippers in the IPL, leading CSK to five titles - the joint most in the league history along with Mumbai Indians.

He has been with the CSK since the league's inception in 2008, playing 264 matches and scoring 5,243 runs at a strike rate of 137 and an average of nearly 40.

IPL: MS Dhoni to be retained as UNCAPPED player by CSK? Here's what we know

Indian Premier League (IPL) has decided to ban foreign players missing the season after being picked up at the auction. The players will be banned for two years for withdrawing after being bought at the auction, barring a medical situation confirmed by the player's home board.

The move, requested by the franchises, is aimed at stopping foreign players leaving the team in lurch and throwing their game plans in disarray. The development was reported by cricket news website ESPNCricinfo citing a document shared by the franchise which carried retention rules.

"Any player who registers for [an] auction and after getting picked at the auction, makes himself unavailable before the start of the season, will get banned from participating in the IPL/IPL auction for two seasons," read the document, with the only exception being "an injury/medical condition, which will have to be confirmed by the [player's] home board."

In addition, the foreign players will also have to register&nbsp;for the mega auction in order to be a part of the subsequent mini auctions. This will stop players from going for money in the mini auction, where the franchises tend to spend big bucks.

"Any overseas player will have to register for the big auction. In case the player does not register, then he will have to miss the subsequent small auction. The only exception will be in case of an injury/medical condition, which will have to be confirmed by the [player's] home board before the big auction."

There will also be a maximum fee for the foreign players in the mini auction, as the IPL document said: "Any overseas player's auction fee at small auction will be lower of the highest retention price [of INR 18 crore] or the highest auction price at the big auction. In case the highest auction price at big auction is 20 crs [INR 20 crore], then 18 crs [INR 18 crore] will be the cap. If the highest auction price at big auction is 16 crs [INR 16 crore] then the cap will be 16 crs [INR 16 crore]."

IPL to ban foreign players withdrawing after being picked up at auction

England’s Liam Livingstone ran riot at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Friday (Sep 27) after smashing Mitchell Starc for 28 runs in a single over. Batting first in the fourth ODI it was the late show from the England all-rounder that helped England post a total of 312/5 in 39 overs after rain had played spoilsport. He remained unbeaten on 62 runs off 27 deliveries after Harry Brook missed out on a hundred and was dismissed for 87.

<h2>Livingstone runs riot</h2>

England were 284-5 when the last over started only for Livingstone to drive Starc into the pavilion for six. Two balls later, Livingstone lofted Starc for six over midwicket and the next ball drove him for another. The fifth ball of the over also went for six, courtesy of a monster pull before Livingstone scythed the last ball for four.

The big-hitting Livingstone faced just 27 balls in total, hitting three fours and seven sixes. Starc finished with hugely expensive figures of 0-70 in eight overs.&nbsp;

Brook, fresh from a match-winning maiden ODI century in the third ODI at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, came in with England faltering at 71-2.

But he responded with an exhilarating 58-ball innings including 11 fours and a six in a match England must win to level this five-match series at 2-2 ahead of Sunday's finale at Bristol.

Brook received good support from opener Ben Duckett (63) during a stand of 79 after Australia won the toss.&nbsp;

England lost Brook and Jamie Smith (39) in quick succession before Livingstone ran riot.

Earlier, England found runs hard to come by, with Josh Hazlewood bowling a superb second-over maiden to Phil Salt.

Australia thought they had Brook out for 17 when another flick off Starc was taken down the legside by World Cup-winning wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, playing his first match of the series following injury.

Following an umpire review, however, it was clear the ball had bounced into Inglis's gloves – with boos ringing around Lord's as the replay was shown on the giant screen.

England’s Liam Livingstone ran riot at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Friday (Sep 27) after smashing Mitchell Starc for 28 runs in a single over. Batting first in the fourth ODI it was the late show from the England all-rounder that helped England post a total of 312/5 in 39 overs after rain had played spoilsport.

Two balls later, Livingstone lofted Starc for six over midwicket and the next ball drove him for another. The fifth ball of the over also went for six, courtesy of a monster pull before Livingstone scythed the last ball for four.

<h2>Mayank Yadav earns call-up</h2>

Having impressed in IPL 2024, a call-up was on the cards for Mayank but he was nursing an injury in the last few months. He was impressive for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) before getting injured having scalped seven wickets in his debut campaign. He gained fame for his speed and agility which caught the eye of the selectors despite having played only four matches in IPL 2024.

On the other hand, Gill and Pant have been rested with the former being the vice-captain of the side. India play Australia in a five-match Test series in November with a mini South Africa tour also approaching in November. While the BCCI has not named a designated vice-captain for the side, Hardik Pandya is expected to lead the side in case Suryakumar Yadav is not available.

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja called out the decision to bowl first by India skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir in the second Test against Bangladesh which started Friday (Sep 27). Rohit put the visitors into bat in the overcast conditions, hoping the bowlers will take advantage.

“The conditions are suitable for batting despite Bangladesh losing two wickets. The best thing would have been to bat first after winning the toss, but India missed the trick.

“They (Rohit and Gautam Gambhir) made a mistake, but they will not accept it. Look at the field placements. The captain also knows that he read the pitch and conditions wrong,” Jadeja said while speaking on JioCinema.

This is also the first time in nine years that India have elected to bowl first after winning the toss at home. The last time it was Virat Kohli who elected to bowl first after winning the toss against South Africa in Bengaluru in 2015.

The first day, however, was marred by rain as only 35 overs were bowled before early stumps were called.

Bangladesh scored 107/3 in the day with pacer Akash Deep taking two of those wickets and spinner Rai Ashwin took the third one - his 420th wicket in Asia.

Both the teams have read the pitch differently as suggested by their playing XI selection. India are unchanged from the first Test in Chennai where they played three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep.&nbsp;

Bangladesh, on the other hand, are playing three spinners in the second Test as opposed to two in the first Test.

The two-match series, however, is 1-0 in favour of India after they won the Chennai Test by 280 runs in nearly three and a half days.

BCCI announces BUMPER pay rise, players to pocket $9000 per match starting IPL 2025

Chennai Super Kings’ path for retaining their legendary player MS Dhoni in the Indian Premier League (IPL) have been given a massive boost&nbsp;on Saturday (Sep 28). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has&nbsp;approved five retentions per side along with a Right to Match (RTM) card in the mega-auctions that could take place in the next couple of months. It is&nbsp;the biggest retention ever offered in history as teams prepare for a shake-up before the IPL 2025 season.

<h2>Five retention, one RTM per side?</h2>

According to ESPNcricinfo, a reliable cricket site, the IPL governing council has approved five retentions per side along with an RTM. The five retained players will cost INR 750 million ($9mn) for&nbsp;IPL teams and can retain as many as six players from their current squad. There is no cap on Indian and foreign players as franchises like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings can breathe a sigh of relief as they face complications in retaining their star names.

Teams will be given a purse of INR 1.15-1.20 billion ($13.7-14.3 million) a significant increase for franchisees to spend. This could also mean for the first time IPL’s net spend in a season could reach above INR 10 billion ($120mn).

<h2>What is RTM?</h2>

The Right to Match (RTM) is a special provision given to a franchise that can purchase a player who was released by matching the bid to another team. For instance, if Ishan Kishan is released by Mumbai Indians and is bought by another franchise for a certain amount, Mumbai will have the right to match the bid and get Ishan back to the franchise. However, the RTM can be used only once during the mega-auctions.

<h2>Dhoni set for another season?</h2>

Now that the policy is approved, Dhoni’s retention with CSK is set to go smoothly as they will still have four other slots to retain other big players like Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Maheesh Theekshana and Moeen Ali. It is a similar case for Mumbai Indians with star names like Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and current skipper Hardik Pandya in the ranks.

With limited slots earlier it was unlikely to retain all of them, however, with amended policy all the above names could be retained without entering the mega-auctions.

IPL 2025: BCCI approves five retentions, one RTM card ahead of mega auctions

England captain Harry Brook insisted he was always confident of coming good after starring in a 186-run rout of Australia at Lord's on Friday that set up a one-day international series decider with the world champions.

Brook, leading England in the absence of the injured Jos Buttler, followed his match-winning and maiden ODI hundred at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday with a superb 87 from 58 balls at Lord's. &nbsp;

Also Watch:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/cricket/watch-liam-livingstone-runs-riot-against-mitchell-starc-smashes-28-runs-in-final-over-762656">Liam Livingstone runs riot against Mitchell Starc, smashes 28 runs in final over</a>

In a match reduced by rain to 39 overs per side, the big-hitting Liam Livingstone added late impetus with a whirlwind 62 not out from just 27 balls as England posted an imposing total of 312-5.&nbsp;

Australia, following a promising start to their reply, collapsed to 126 all out inside 25 overs as England levelled the five-match series at 2-2 ahead of Sunday's finale at Bristol.

Brook came under fire from former England captains Michael Vaughan and Alastair Cook for the way he succumbed to frustration while being dismissed in this month's third Test loss to Sri Lanka at the Oval.

But in an ODI format which is unfamiliar to many members of a new-look England side, the 25-year-old produced his second superbly-paced innings of the week. &nbsp;

"It felt like only a matter of time for me," Brook told reporters.&nbsp;

"I feel like I've been playing well all summer, everything just needed to click. The last couple of games for me have been really special."

England opener Ben Duckett survived an awkward opening spell from Mitchell Starc to make 63 before Livingstone smashed seven sixes, including four in an astounding last over from the left-arm fast bowler that cost 28 runs.

"He was striking it unbelievably well," Brook said of Livingstone. "We all know what he's capable of doing at the back end (of an innings)."

<h2>'Phenomenal'</h2>

Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh put on 68 in the first nine overs of Australia's reply before the innings subsided as Brydon Carse (3-36) and Jofra Archer (2-33) did the bulk of the early damage in helpful conditions under the floodlights.

Archer, plagued by injury since starring in England's triumphant 2019 World Cup campaign, touched speeds of 93 mph (150 km/h), with fellow paceman Matthew Potts rounding off the home side's fine all-round display with an ODI best 4-38.&nbsp;

And express quick Archer also struck Marnus Labuschagne a nasty blow on the elbow.&nbsp;

"It was phenomenal to watch," Brook said. "We knew the seamers were getting the most out the pitch so I just tried to bowl them as many overs as possible."

Australia, without Cameron Green after the all-rounder suffered a tour-ending back injury, had few answers as skipper Marsh admitted.

"Fair play to England, they put us under a lot of pressure with the bat," Marsh told Sky Sports.

"We couldn't get early wickets and they thoroughly out-played us today. Liam Livingstone played a gem of an innings."

He added: "England bowled really well. We lost wickets continually and that's cricket."

Clinical England thrash Australia in fourth ODI to bring series at 2-2

Sri Lanka were just five wickets away from a crushing second Test and series victory over New Zealand on Saturday with the tourists 199-5 at stumps on third day, having followed on after collapsing to 88 all out in their first innings.&nbsp;

Tom Blundell was not out 47 and Glenn Phillips on 32 when bad light forced an early end to play in Galle after debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris took three top-order wickets.

Devon Conway, battling to save both his team and his place in the side, joined forces with former captain Kane Williamson in a dogged 97-run partnership for the second wicket.&nbsp;

De Silva lured Conway, who had made 61 off 62 balls, into a drive towards the vacant deep cover boundary that was caught by Dinesh Chandimal in a spectacular backward running catch.

Williamson, the world's second-ranked batsman behind England's Joe Root, departed when he misjudged a shot off Peiris, with Ramesh Mendis grabbing a tumbling catch at long-on.&nbsp;

Tom Latham had been the first wicket to fall after the follow-on was enforced just before lunch, caught by Pathum Nissanka for a duck at short leg off Peiris, who earlier had taken three first-innings wickets.&nbsp;

Sri Lanka declared Friday on a mammoth 602-5 for in their first innings then spinner Prabath Jayasuriya took 6-42 for his ninth five-wicket haul as the visitors failed to get to three figures.

Jayasuriya will need to dismiss all five remaining New Zealand batsmen to equal the record for fastest bowler to 100 Test wickets, held since 1896 by England's George Lohmann who reached the milestone in his 16th Test.

Resuming at a precarious 22-2 in their first innings, New Zealand's batsmen barely put up a fight and their highest partnership was the 20 added by last pair Mitchell Santner, who top scored with 29, and William O'Rourke (two).&nbsp;

Captain de Silva took five catches at first slip to tie the record for most in a Test innings by a non-wicketkeeper, a milestone shared with 15 others.

SL vs NZ: Hosts scent series victory as New Zealand end day at 199/5 after follow-on

The second day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur was called off without any play on Saturday (Sep 28) due to consistent rain and wet outfield. The first day of the Test was also curtailed to only 35 overs before early stumps due to rain interruption.

The second day saw consistent drizzle before the start of play throughout first session and no play happened till lunch. The players from both team had also left the ground for their hotel. The wet outfield coupled with rain didn't allow any play in the second session as well before umpires decided to call it a day.

Bangladesh scored 107/3 in 35 overs on day 1 with pacer Akash Deep taking two of those wickets and spinner Rai Ashwin taking&nbsp;the third one - his 420th wicket in Asia.

Both the teams&nbsp;read the pitch differently as suggested by their playing XI selection. India are unchanged from the first Test in Chennai where they played three pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep.&nbsp;

Bangladesh, on the other hand, are playing three spinners in the second Test as opposed to two in the first Test.

The two-match series, however, is 1-0 in favour of India after they won the Chennai Test by 280 runs in nearly three and a half days.

Jadeja calls out Rohit for decision to bowl in Kanpur

Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja called out the decision to bowl first by India skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir in the second Test against Bangladesh which started Friday (Sep 27). Rohit put the visitors into bat in the overcast conditions, hoping the bowlers will take advantage.

“The conditions are suitable for batting despite Bangladesh losing two wickets. The best thing would have been to bat first after winning the toss, but India missed the trick," said the former India player while speaking on Jio Cinema.

IND vs BAN, 2nd Test: Second day called off with no play due to consistent rain and wet outfield

Musheer Khan, brother of India batter Sarfaraz Khan, will&nbsp;not be taking part in the upcoming Irani Trophy for Mumbai against Rest of India. This comes after Musheer was involved in a car accident on the outskirts of Lucknow - the venue of the Irani Trophy match which begins October 1.

Musheer suffered neck injuries in the road accident while traveling from Azamgarh (hometown) to Lucknow in a Toyota Fortuner SUV on Saturday (Sep 28). His father Naushad Khan and two others were also in the SUV at the time of accident.

"The SUV collided into a median and toppled," reported cricket news outlet ESPNCricinfo citing eye witness and a member from traffic directorate of Lucknow Police.

The batter was immediately taken to hospital and was treated for concussion with extent of injuries yet to be confirmed. Musheer is expected to be brought to Mumbai soon for a detailed checkup in a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) affiliated hospital.

Apart from Irani Trophy, Musheer is also likely to miss the first few games of upcoming Ranji Trophy (domestic first-class tournament) for Mumbai as well. His team begins the Ranji campaign on October 11 against Baroda.

The accident comes as a setback for the young batter at a time when he had a brilliant start to his first-class career. Musheer has played nine first-class games so far, hitting three tons and a fifty. He hit a double ton in last season's quarter-final, a half-century in the semi-final and a match-winning ton in the final against Vidarbha.

Most recently, he scored 181 in Duleep Trophy for India B while playing against a strong bowling line-up for India A comprising of pacers Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed and spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), meanwhile, is yet to name a replacement for him in the squad.

Harry Brook-led England did well to keep the five-match ODI series alive versus Australia with an impressive win in the third ODI at the&nbsp;Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street on Sep 24 (Tuesday). Chasing 305, Brook &amp; Co. were 11-2 but the captain's unbeaten 110 and Will Jacks' 84 kept the home side in the hunt as they were well-ahead in the DLS par score before rain ended proceedings. Thus, England won by 48 runs (DLS) with Australia still leading 2-1. The fourth and penultimate ODI will be held on Friday with hosts desperate to level the scoreline.

Talking about the third ODI, England opted to bowl first and had Australia reeling at 172-5, despite Steve Smith's 60 and&nbsp;Cameron Green's 42, before Alex Carey (77), Glenn Maxwell (30) and Aaron Hardie (44)&nbsp;took them to 304/7.&nbsp;

With England off to a disastrous start, it seemed it will all go downhill for the hosts. However, Brook and Jacks' 156-run third-wicket stand ensured the home side's recovery as they kept getting the boundaries and maintained a healthy run-rate to be comfortably placed at 254/4 in 37.4 overs when rain made no further play possible. By then, England were well ahead in the DLS par score to win their first game of the series.&nbsp;

Will England make it two wins in a row or Australia will take an unassailable lead in the penultimate tie? Only time will tell.

Eng vs Aus, 4th ODI Live Streaming: When and where to watch England vs Australia penultimate tie

Australia could have a huge injury scare in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India after Cameron Green was ruled out of the ongoing ODI series against England. According to a statement released by Cricket Australia on Friday (Sep 27), Green has suffered from a back injury which could see him miss the start of the five-match Test series against India starting in Perth on November 22. Green suffered an injury in the third ODI in Durham, where he bowled a spell of sustained short balls, and will undergo further assessment on returning home to understand the full extent of the injury.

<h2>Green likely to miss start of BGT</h2>

"Cameron Green has sustained a back injury and will play no further part in the ODI tour of England," a Cricket Australia statement said. "Scans in London overnight revealed the injury after Green reported soreness following the third ODI against England in Durham. He will return home for further assessment where his return to play management plan will be determined."

Green is one of the most important members of the Australia squad and has played a key role in the side’s dominance in both red-ball and white-ball format. Green comes as a utility option in the side who can both bat and bowl. In his 28 Test matches for the side, he scored 1377 runs and scalped 35 wickets. During that period he has also scored two hundreds and one five-for which proves his worth to the side.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Cameron Green likely to miss start of India series in massive injury blow to Aussies

It was a landmark day for Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis after he scored an unbeaten 182 against New Zealand on Day 2 of the Galle Test on Friday (Sep 27). Mendis, who is playing in his seventh Test match for Sri Lanka went level with the great Don Bradman for the fastest 1000 Test runs in the format. At Stumps on Day 2, New Zealand closed at 22/2 in 14 overs while Sri Lanka earlier declared at 602/5 with three centurions in their ranks.

<h2>Kamindu Mendis joins Don Bradman’s elite club</h2>

Having scored his fifth hundred in the year he overtook Joe Root for most runs in the calendar year. However, his biggest achievement was going level with Bradman for the fewest innings taken to complete 1000 Test runs. It took him 13 innings to level with Bradman and now sits second on the honorary list after Everton Weekes.

Mendis made his debut in the Test format in July 2022 against Australia and has since been an integral part of the side. He has also scored five hundreds during the same time making him the Asian player fastest to reach five Test hundreds in just 13 innings.

<h2>Fastest to 1000 Test runs</h2>

Herbert Sutcliffe - 12 innings

Everton Weekes - 12 innings

Kamindu Mendis - 13 innings

Don Bradman - 13 innings

Vinod Kambli - 14 innings

<h2>Sri Lanka on top after Day 2</h2>

Having won the opening Test by 63 runs, New Zealand needed a good response to stay in the hunt for a comeback. However, those hopes were dashed after Kamindu Mendis’ hundreds were coupled with tons from Dinesh Chandimal (116) and Kusal Mendis (unbeaten 106). Interestingly, former captain Angelo Mathews narrowly missed out on a hundred having been dismissed for 88 by Glenn Phillips.

Phillips was the most successful Kiwi bowler having ended with figures of 141/3 while Tim Southee scalped one.

Mendis, who is playing in his seventh Test match for Sri Lanka went level with the great Don Bradman for the fastest 1000 Test runs in the format. At Stumps on Day 2, New Zealand closed at 22/2 in 14 overs while Sri Lanka earlier declared at 602/5 with three centurions in their ranks. Kamindu Mendis joins Don Bradman’s elite club Having scored his fifth hundred in the year he overtook Joe Root for most runs in the calendar year. However, his biggest achievement was going level with Bradman for the fewest innings taken to complete 1000 Test runs. It took him 13 innings to level with Bradman and now sits second on the honorary list after Everton Weekes. Mendis made his debut in the Test format in July 2022 against Australia and has since been an integral part of the side. He has also scored five hundreds during the same time making him the Asian player fastest to reach five Test hundreds in just 13 innings.

However, those hopes were dashed after Kamindu Mendis’ hundreds were coupled with tons from Dinesh Chandimal (116) and Kusal Mendis (unbeaten 106). Interestingly, former captain Angelo Mathews narrowly missed out on a hundred having been dismissed for 88 by Glenn Phillips. Phillips was the most successful Kiwi bowler having ended with figures of 141/3 while Tim Southee scalped one.

The second Test match between India and Bangladesh did not go according to the plans for the visitors as rain played spoilsport on Day 1 of the contest. In a must-win contest to avoid the series defeat, Bangladesh lost three wickets on Day 1 with only 35 overs bowled. However, it was an off-field issue that raised eyebrows as Bangladesh’s popular mascot Tiger Roby was escorted by police from the stadium.

<h2>Tiger Roby escorted from the stadium</h2>

In a video surfacing on the internet, Kanpur police were seen escorting the mascot from the stadium premises to the hospital. The video showed Kanpur police coming to the aid of the&nbsp;mascot as he was rushed. He was seen sitting on a chair while earlier footage showcased he was aided by guards to a safe place.

The mascot is famous for appearing in the Bangladesh cricket team’s matches in a tiger-like mask while also wearing a yellow tiger costume.

However, it was later cleared that he was not feeling well which led to his escort while no one had acted violently.&nbsp;

"I fell ill and the police brought me to the hospital and got me treated. Now I am feeling much better. My name is Robi and I have come from Bangladesh," Robi said.

<h2>What happened on Day 1?</h2>

Having won the toss after a delayed start to the match, Rohit Sharma became the first captain in 60 years to choose bowling. The Indian skipper’s decision proved to be worthy as they got the better of Zakir Hasan for a duck having faced 24 balls before heading back to the pavilion. Shadman Islam soon followed him as he was dismissed for 24 off 36 balls. The partnership of skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (31) and Mominul Haque restructured the innings.

Rain would again play its part as the umpires finally decided to call off Day 1 at 2:56 pm. At the Stumps on Day 1, Mominul Haque was batting on 40 while Mushfiqur Rahim was on 6 with Bangladesh on 107/3. Akash Deep scalped two wickets while Ashwin bagged one in a day-curtailed contest.

<h2>Ashwin breaks Kumble’s record</h2>

On the fifth ball of the 29th over, Ashwin scalped the wicket of Shanto which saw him write yet another chapter in his illustrious career. The veteran all-rounder now has 420 wickets in the Test format on Asian soil surpassing Kumble’s tally. In fact, only Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan with 612 wickets has more success on Asian soil.

South Africa kickoff the series against&nbsp;Ireland with the first&nbsp;T20I game&nbsp;on Friday (Sep 27). The tour is being held in Abu Dhabi,&nbsp;a call which the Cricket Ireland&nbsp;board’s chief executive Warren Deutrom&nbsp;described as a "creative"&nbsp;way to overcome&nbsp;infrastructure constraints. The tour comprises two T20Is and will conclude with a three-match ODI series.

The tour holds a lot of significance for both the sides. While Aiden Markram-led white-ball side&nbsp;wants to make smooth progress for the future, with one eye on next year's Champions Trophy -- in Asian conditions, Ireland will aim to shrug past their disappointing and winless run in the 2024 T20 World Cup with a good turnaround. &nbsp;

Markram-led SA start the T20Is with a highly-inexperienced side at their arsenal. Only three out of the playing&nbsp;XI who played in T20 WC final, versus India, in Barbados, are part of the 15-man squad. Thus, it will be interesting to see how the young guns perform. The ODIs will also have their own&nbsp;challenges. South Africa are entering this tour on the back of a 2-1 ODI series loss to Afghanistan, in Sharjah, recently.

At present, both sides will look to take an unassailable lead in the two T20Is with a win in the series opener.

Yuvraj Singh, former Indian all-rounder, had a glorious run in&nbsp;international cricket. He retired with 8,701 ODI and 1,171 T20I runs along with 139 wickets in the two formats. In Tests, he scored 1,900 runs in 40 matches, along with nine wickets,&nbsp;and never was a force to reckon with in whites. He, however, became a household name by playing an integral part in MS Dhoni-led India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup triumphs. During his career, Yuvraj's name made the headlines for dating several actresses. Recently, the former cricketer shared an interesting incident where his then girlfriend, who is currently a famous Indian actress, followed him to Canberra&nbsp;during India's 2007/08 tour of Australia.

During the latest episode of Club Prairie Fire podcast, also featuring veterans Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan, Yuvraj revealed, "I was dating an actress, I won't name her; (She is) very good at the moment and very experienced. She was shooting in Adelaide. I told her, listen, let's not meet for a bit because I'm on Australia tour, and need to focus. She followed me to Canberra in the bus. In two Tests, I didn't get many runs. And I was like, 'what are you doing here?' And she was like, ‘I want to spend time with you'."

Yuvi further said, "So, I met her in the night and we began chatting. I told her you need to focus on your career and I need to focus on mine, because I'm on Australia tour and you know what that means. Anyway, we were leaving for Adelaide from Canberra and she packed my suitcase."

"In the morning, I was like ‘where are my shoes'? She said, ‘I packed them'. I asked, ‘How would I go on the bus'? And she said, 'Wear mine'. She had these pink slip-ons. And I was like, 'Oh my god'. I had to wear those pink slip-ons, and I was carrying my bag in front of my shoes to hide them. The guys saw it, and they clapped for me. I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport until I bought flip-flops there," he added.

At present, Rohit Sharma-led India are hosting Bangladesh in the second and final Test, which got underway on Friday morning (Sep 27) in Kanpur. They aim to finish off the series with a 2-0 scoreline before hosting New Zealand in three Tests.

West Indies' veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has succeeded Gautam Gambhir as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor for the IPL 2025 edition. Gambhir rejoined the KKR camp, after 2017,&nbsp;to serve as Shreyas Iyer-led side's mentor in IPL 2024, leading them to their third title. Bravo, who retired from all forms of cricket after his CPL 2024 stint on Thursday (Sep 26), will join the Kolkata-based franchise after parting ways with Chennai Super Kings (CSK). At the CSK camp, he served as the bowling coach prior to this appointment.

Bravo also expressed his enthusiasm and said, "I've been part of the Trinbago Knight Riders for the last 10 years in the CPL. Having played for and against the Knight Riders in various leagues, I have a lot of respect for how they operate. The owners' passion, the professionalism of the management, and the family-like environment make it a special place. This is the perfect platform for me as I transition from playing to mentoring and coaching the next generation of players."

During his illustrious career, Bravo has been a huge name in T20s. He has played 582 T20 games, claiming 631 wickets, and scored close to 7,000 runs. With more championship wins than any other cricketer, Bravo's experience will surely help the Kolkata camp.&nbsp;

Venky Mysore, CEO of Knight Riders Group, also reacted to Bravo's appointment and said, "DJ Bravo joining us is an exciting development. His relentless drive to win, along with his vast experience and deep knowledge, will greatly benefit our franchise and players. We're also pleased that Bravo will be involved with our other franchises globally, including CPL, MLC, and ILT20."

Bravo replaces Gambhir, who left the KKR mentorship spot vacant after being named as India head coach in early July. He rejoined the KKR camp after serving as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) mentor from 2022-23. His rejoining at KKR proved to be fruitful with the franchise adding another IPL title to their cabinet. Their earlier two titles came during&nbsp;Gambhir's captaincy.

IPL 2025: Dwayne Bravo leaves CSK to succeed Gautam Gambhir as KKR mentor

Ahead of the second and final Test versus India, in Kanpur, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan stated that 'this could be my last Test series' despite him willing to play his farewell match&nbsp;versus South Africa&nbsp;on home soil, in Oct. The SA tour isn't final yet given the unrest in Bangladesh. But for Shakib, he is under severe pressure of playing on home ground following him being accused of murder charges.

During the&nbsp;political unrest in Bangladesh in July-Aug,&nbsp;hundreds of people were killed during the anti-government protests.&nbsp;Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left&nbsp;the country on Aug 5. Notably,&nbsp;Shakib was a member of parliament of the Awami League-led government, against whom the protests were being carried out.

As the government fell early last month, Shakib was subsequently one among 147 persons named in a murder case related to the protests. Since then, the all-rounder has not been in Bangladesh due to cricket commitments. Thus, if SA comes to Bangladesh, Shakib isn't sure of his security. If the tour happens and he plays, he is willing to retire after the first Test.

On Shakib's condition, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief&nbsp;Faruque Ahmed claimed that providing security to an individual isn't in&nbsp;board's hands.

<h2>'The board can't provide an individual with personal security'</h2>

"Shakib's security is not in the board's hand," Faruque told reporters at the Sher-e Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.&nbsp;

"The board can't provide an individual with personal security. He has to take a decision on that. His security has to come from the highest level of the government. BCB is not a security agency like the police or RAB (Rapid Action Battalion). We haven't spoken to anyone [in the government] about him. Since his case is a sub-judice matter, so we can't really do much about it," he further opined.

Meanwhile, Shakib said, ahead of the Kanpur Test which kicked off on Friday morning (Sep 27), "I am available for the South Africa series but since there's a lot happening back home, naturally not everything depends on me. I have discussed my plans about Test cricket with the BCB. Especially this series and the home series. I was thinking that it could be my last Test series."

"I have told [BCB president] Faruque bhai and the selectors. If there's a chance and if I can play, my last Test will be in Mirpur. The board is trying to ensure that I can play and feel safe, at the same time that I can leave the country without a hitch," the 37-year-old&nbsp;added.

Shakib has retired from T20Is (ending with&nbsp;2,551 runs at a strike rate of 121.18 along with 149 wickets in 120 games) and is expected to announce his retirement from ODIs following the 2025 Champions Trophy. In Tests, he has played 70 games, scoring 4,600 runs along with claiming 242 scalps.

South Africa will play two Tests in Bangladesh, in Dhaka and Chattogram respectively, in late Oct. However, a final confirmation on the tour is awaited.

Ahead of the second and final Test versus India, in Kanpur, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan stated that 'this could be my last Test series' despite him willing to play his farewell match versus South Africa on home soil, in Oct.

Ahead of the second and final Test versus India, in Kanpur, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan stated that 'this could be my last Test series' despite him willing to play his farewell match versus South Africa on home soil, in Oct. The SA tour isn't final yet given the unrest in Bangladesh. But for Shakib, he is under severe pressure of playing on home ground following him being accused of murder charges. During the political unrest in Bangladesh in July-Aug, hundreds of people were killed during the anti-government protests. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country on Aug 5. Notably, Shakib was a member of parliament of the Awami League-led government, against whom the protests were being carried out. As the government fell early last month, Shakib was subsequently one among 147 persons named in a murder case related to the protests. Since then, the all-rounder has not been in Bangladesh due to cricket commitments. Thus, if SA comes to Bangladesh, Shakib isn't sure of his security. If the tour happens and he plays, he is willing to retire after the first Test.

We don't have ability to...: BCB president on Shakib Al Hasan's security at home amid murder charges

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan says India are unbeatable at home ahead of the second Test of the two-match series, which starts on Friday (Sep 27) in Kanpur. India are already ahead 1-0 in the series after winning the first Test in Chennai by 280 runs. Shakib also said that they beat Pakistan recently in the Test series as Bangladesh are a more experienced side. Bangladesh had won the two-Test series 2-0 against Pakistan ahead of the India tour.

"I think in patches we played really well in Chennai, but finishing the match in three and a half days isn't ideal for us," Shakib told reporters in Kanpur on the eve of second Test.&nbsp;

"We felt like we are a better team than that. Tomorrow we have another opportunity, and we need to show our potential in tomorrow's match."

"If we can score 350 or thereabouts, that will be a huge improvement. Scoring 350 to 400 in the first innings will give us a lot of confidence and boost our team," he added.

Shakib pointed out that Pakistan are a young team so Bangladesh were able to come ahead of them but India are difficult to play at home.

"I think Pakistan is a relatively young and inexperienced team. If you look at the matches they've played and compare it to our team, we have more experience, and in Test cricket, that's a massive factor," Shakib said.

"If I talk about India, they are the number one team at the moment and are probably unbeatable at home. They are doing well outside as well, but at home, they are unbeatable. Any country finds India difficult, and we are no different. Having said that, we have to play really well to show the fight we feel we can put up," he added.

Shakib also announced his retirement from T20Is on Thursday (Sep 26) and said he'll most likely play his last Test next month.
