Format makes Champions Trophy more challenging than ODI World Cup: Bavuma

South African captain Temba Bavuma on Sunday termed the ICC Champions Trophy a bigger challenge than the 50-over World Cup because lesser number of matches make it tough for teams to make a comeback. The marquee event is scheduled to start across Pakistan and Dubai from February 19, and South Africa will open their campaign against Afghanistan at Karachi on February 21. In the World Cup, you have time to take stock and step up. But in the Champions Trophy you can't do that but we are hopeful of going one step further in the tournament, Bavuma told a media conference here. Obviously, we have our sights on where we want to be in the Champions Trophy this time but the format makes it more challenging for teams when you look at the 50-over World Cup, he added. South Africa, the losing finalists of the T20 World Cup 2024, and the finalists of the upcoming World Test Championship, will face off New Zealand on Monday with a depleted squad, and at least five-six players are expected to ...

ICC looking to give leeway to bowlers on wides: SA legend Shaun Pollock

South African legend Shaun Pollock says the ICC Cricket Committee is working towards giving bowlers bit more leeway on wides as the current rule is very strict on them, particularly when batters make last minute movement. Across ODIs and T20Is, batters make late movements across the crease to disturb bowlers' line and lengths and they end up giving wides. I'm working on something. I'm obviously part of the ICC Cricket Committee and we're looking to come up with a bit more leeway for the bowlers on wides. I think it's very strict on them, Pollock told PTI on the sidelines of SA20. If a batter jumps across (at the) last minute, it doesn't really work out for me. I think a bowler, at the start of his run-up, needs to know where he can bowl it. The current rule tends to suggest that if he moves and it's that point of delivery where the batter is, and that's according to where the wide will be called, I want a little bit of a change, added Pollock. The 51-year-old said bowlers must kno

Pakistan penalised for slow over-rate in South Africa Test, docked points

The ICC has fined Pakistan players 25 percent of their match fee and also docked the team five World Test Championship points for maintaining a slow over-rate against South Africa in the second Test at Newlands. South Africa, which will take on Australia in the WTC final at Lord's in June, swept Pakistan 2-0 in the series with a 10-wicket win inside four days in the second test. The ICC said in a statement that match referee Richie Richardson of the West Indies imposed the sanction after Pakistan was ruled to be five overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration. According to the ICC code of conduct, players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time. The teams are also penalized one WTC point for each over short. The ICC also said that Pakistan captain Shan Masood accepted the proposed sanction, so there was no need for a formal hearing. Pakistan is at No. 8 in the points table just above
