  • Suresh Raina Mushtaq Ali in UP probables for T20

    Suresh Raina, the all-rounder who made a sensation in the world of cricket by retiring from international cricket on August 15 this year along with former captain of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has made it to the possible 26 members of the Uttar Pradesh team. Raina’s name is among the possible 26 members of the Uttar Pradesh team for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 cricket tournament to be played in Bengaluru, Karnataka. With this, the market of speculation about his future has stopped at the moment.

    Raina, however, had joined the UP probables camp on the last ten days. He practiced on the Kamala Club ground for two days and Greenpark’s wicket one day. Raina retired on August 15 and after that he reached Dubai with his IPL team Chennai Super Kings on August 20. Raina stayed in Dubai for a few days but returned home citing personal reasons and did not play in the IPL this time. Raina is currently engaged in efforts to promote cricket in Jammu and Kashmir.

    For Mushtal Ali T20, UPCA announced the names of 26 potential players under the leadership of Captain Priyam Garg. All the players will take part in the training camp at Kamla Club between 27 December and 2 January.

  • Dhananjaya Lakshan’s all-round show puts Galle in final

    Three wins, six losses, LPL finalists. The Galle Gladiators are the first team to qualify for the final of the Lanka Premier League, coming out victors in a semi-final that at points seemingly neither side wanted to win.

    Indeed, a two wicket win with one ball remaining barely begins to tell the story of a game that was largely dominated by the ball, but will undoubtedly be remembered for some incredibly sloppy moments in the field from both sides. The Gladiators to be sure will know they have got away with one.

    In a truly Jekyll and Hyde performance, the Gladiators were exemplary with the ball; the pace trio of Mohammed Amir, Nuwan Thushara and Dhananjaya Lakshan, gave away just 80 runs in their 12 overs, picking up four wickets, which allowed Lakshan Sandakan to scalp the critical wickets of Angelo Mathews, Andre Russell, and Ashan Priyanjan.

    At no point in the Kings’ innings were the batsmen allowed a breather – except for Daniel Bell-Drummond, who was dropped thrice and survived a run out scare on the way to a 53-ball 70 – as they were held to a sub-par 150 for 9.

    But with the bat, the Gladiators showed the Kings more than enough opportunities to steal the win, all of which they somehow managed to squander. That the Kings got there without the bowling chops of Russell (who slipped in the dressing room and didn’t take the field) and Mathews (who pulled a hamstring midway through his spell), illustrates how difficult the Gladiators made life for themselves.

  • Moeen Ali says he hasn’t experienced racism in his career

    Moeen Ali has said he has not experienced any racism during his cricket career, after recent allegations of discrimination in the English game.
    Tuesday saw the England and Wales Cricket Board accused of “institutional racism” by former international umpire John Holder and aspiring official Ismail Dawood, who both feel non-white candidates have been unfairly prevented from becoming match officials.

    The duo’s accusations follow allegations by Azeem Rafiq that he suffered racial discrimination playing for Yorkshire.
    But England all-rounder Moeen said his career had not been blighted by prejudice.
