SA20 Season 5 fixtures out: Sunrisers to meet Pretoria Capitals in opener

The fifth season of SA20 will begin on January 17 with defending champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape taking on Pretoria Capitals in a repeat of last season's final at the St George's Park in Gqeberha. Pretoria Capitals, under a new leadership group featuring former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly as head coach and Keshav Maharaj as captain, enjoyed an immediate turnaround by reaching the final after first-round exits in the previous two editions. Sunrisers Eastern Cape, meanwhile, maintained their dominance despite changes in personnel and captaincy, with head coach Adrian Birrell once again steering the franchise to the title, setting up a blockbuster curtain-raiser for the new season. The six-team tournament will feature Durban Super Giants, Joburg Super Kings, MI Cape Town, Pretoria Capitals, Paarl Royals and Sunrisers Eastern Cape, with all franchises wholly or partly owned by IPL team owners. The playoffs will begin with Qualifier 1 in Paarl on February 16, followed by the Eliminat

Trent Bridge to stage first Test as England announces 2027 Ashes schedule

Trent Bridge in Nottingham will host the first 2027 men's Ashes Test between England and holder Australia. The five grounds had already been selected - including Southampton's Rose Bowl for the first time - and the dates were revealed on Thursday. The first Test is scheduled from June 18-22. England has won its last three Ashes tests at Trent Bridge, the most recent in 2015 after Australia was bowled out for 60. Lord's stages the second Test from June 30-July 4. There's a scheduled break of only four days to the third Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham from July 8-12. The fourth Test marks Southampton's men's Ashes debut from July 21-25. It becomes the 10th British ground to host a men's Ashes Test. The series ends at The Oval from July 29-Aug. 2. There was contention that Nottingham was the most northerly venue in England in the 2027 Ashes after Old Trafford in Manchester and Headingley in Leeds were not selected. Both grounds have been chosen for the 2031 series but when the 202

Sooryavanshi, Mayank star as India outclass Zimbabwe in opening T20I

Wonderkid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashed an 18-ball half century in his first innings of substance in international cricket as an all-round India outplayed Zimbabwe by seven wickets in the first T20 of the three match series here on Thursday. Pacer Mayank Yadav made a successful return to international cricket as India restricted Zimbabwe to 125 for seven. India expectedly gunned down the target in 13.2 overs following a typical knock from Sooryavanshi (50 off 19) that included four boundaries and as many sixes. It was also India's first win under new captain Shreyas Iyer, who endured a run of six losses in his first assignment in Ireland and England. Sooryavanshi's much hyped international debut in England earlier this month did not go as per the script but made his familiarity with the venue count. In his return to the ground where he made a memorable 80-ball 175 in the U-19 World Cup final earlier this year, the youngest to play for India displayed his rare talent that has been ..

Couldn't have been happier with my first win, says skipper Shreyas Iyer

India captain Shreyas Iyer hailed his bowlers for making the most of the lively conditions here on Thursday and said the comprehensive victory over Zimbabwe in the opening T20I would give his side the confidence it needs for the remainder of the series. Electing to bowl, India restricted Zimbabwe to 125/7 before completing a comfortable chase with 40 balls and seven wickets to spare, with Iyer describing the performance as a complete team effort despite acknowledging that batting was not entirely straightforward. "I think the boys were tremendous. Couldn't have been happier with my first win," Iyer said after the match. "There was bounce from good length and it was also variable. I felt it was there in both innings. The start Mayank gave was great." Shreyas came here after losing series against Ireland and England. The skipper said the convincing start would serve India well, with two more matches to be played at the same venue. "We are going to play two more matches here, so tod

BCCI begins tender process for home events title sponsorship rights

The BCCI on Monday invited bids for the title sponsorship rights for its domestic and international home events, with the current agreement with IDFC FIRST Bank nearing the end of its tenure. The cricket board issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT), inviting entities to bid for the rights through a competitive process.

Hampshire rope in Ashutosh Sharma for England's domestic One-Day Cup

Delhi Capitals' star all-rounder Ashutosh Sharma has been signed up by English county Hampshire for the upcoming One-Day Cup, England's limited overs first-class competition, the club said on Monday. The GMR Group co-owns both the Delhi Capitals and Hampshire, and the transition was seamless for the 27-year-old explosive batter who will join the English county side for the duration of the 50-over domestic tournament. Sharma holds the record for the fastest T20 fifty by an Indian player (off just 11 balls) for Railways against Arunachal Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and he will be utilising his power-hitting skills in the English limited-overs tournament. "We're really pleased to sign Ashutosh (Sharma) for the One-Day Cup," Giles White, Hampshire Director of Cricket, said. "He is a player of great potential and has done well for Delhi Capitals in the IPL recently so knows what it's like to perform to a high standard. We look forward to welcoming him into the group and see

Australia's 'Big Four' quicks back in mix for Bangladesh Test series

The so-called Big Four could be reunited in Australia's bowling attack with Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon returning from injuries for a two-test cricket series next month against Bangladesh. Pace bowlers Cummins, Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc and offspinner Lyon have been the long-time frontline attack for Australia but injuries have limited the frequency of all four combining in the same XI in recent series. Australia's selection committee chairman George Bailey on Tuesday said there was no certainties to start, but the returning bowlers are "all fit to go." "As you would expect, we won't be locking in an XI this far out, but we do know that across this two-test series the depth is there," Bailey said. "I'm sure that there will be (future) tests that that (Big Four) group play together." Cummins, Hazlewood and Lyon, he said, "have worked extremely hard, individually and with the (fitness) teams, over the past few months to return from their respective injuries." The

Gill says staying away from external factors helps him handle pressure

India's Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill has said keeping himself away from "external factors" helps him deal with pressure situations on and off the field. Gill will be leading India in the third and final ODI against England here on Sunday, and a win will give the tourists a 2-1 series victory. "The way I deal with pressure is by keeping focussed on the things that are in my control and keep myself away from the external factors," said Gill during an interactive session at a diaspora reception hosted by the High Commission of India in London on Saturday. India's T20I captain Shreyas Iyer, who had to deal with a couple of injuries in the recent past, thanked his teammates for inspiring him to make a comeback. "I just wanted to get out of the hospital. The calls from my team members gave me a lot of motivation to head back to my training and come back stronger," said during the session co-ordinated by India's Deputy High Commissioner to the UK, Kartik Pande. Head coach Gautam Gam

Rohit Sharma is good enough to play for another couple of years: Rajput

: Uncertainty might still be shrouding Rohit Sharma's future in ODIs, but his early mentor Lalchand Rajput believes that the former India captain is "good enough to play for couple of years", attributing the current struggles to natural "wear and tear" of two decades of cricket. The debate over Rohit's place in India's plans intensified after reports suggested that chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir had informed the veteran opener that he was not in the roadmap for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The speculation, however, was quickly dispelled by BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia. "I don't believe in speculation. Unless it happens, then only we can talk about that. I still feel he is good enough to play for a couple of years," Rajput, who first watched Rohit as a youngster at the National Cricket Academy (now BCCI Centre of Excellence), told PTI. "He is fit and has worked hard on his fitness. If you look at him now, he looks leaner. The way he batted in the last game, h
