Texas Super Kings and San Francisco Unicorns gain the clearest edge from this season’s three-city rotation, both playing the bulk of their fixtures and the entire playoff stretch in conditions they already know well. MI New York, and LA Knight Riders face the opposite problem, each making four venue transitions across a compressed six-week schedule […]

Fairplex changes MLC’s identity by giving one franchise something the league has never had in three seasons: an actual home ground. The Knight Riders Group broke ground on a $21 million stadium in Pomona on April 23, 2026, replacing Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill and pushing two of the league’s three 2026 venues into California. […]
Matthew Short’s three straight ducks matter more than Australia’s series defeat to Bangladesh because they expose exactly the kind of technical flaw selectors can’t fix with a single change of personnel. He was bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi in Lahore, then bowled twice more by Taskin Ahmed in Dhaka, each dismissal coming from a ball […]
India sealed the three-match series 2-0 before a ball was bowled in Chennai. That changes what Saturday’s third ODI is actually for. Harshit Rana joined the squad on June 19 after knee rehabilitation, and India fly out for a two-match Ireland T20I series on June 26, just six days away. With a UK assignment running […]
Every report on RCB CEO Rajesh Menon‘s comments has led with one line: Kohli has three to four years left in the IPL. Fewer have unpacked what Menon said right before that, to CNBC-TV18: that RCB cannot picture a future without Kohli, even after his playing days end. That sentence points toward a coaching or […]
Defending champions New Zealand have lost both opening matches at this World Cup and sit fifth in Group 2 on a net run rate of -0.200. One structural fact behind the slump has gone largely unspoken: the opening role Suzie Bates owned for two decades hasn’t been filled by her replacement, and the top order […]
Chaudhary took 1 for 14, scored 18 off 13 balls, and held two catches in a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in Chattogram on June 17. That is what the debut actually produced, measured against a build-up that spent most of its words on everything except the cricket. The COVID stranding, the postman job in Brisbane, […]
After 57 innings opening in ODIs, Gill averages 57.72 at a strike rate of 99.35, numbers that exceed any Indian opener at the same stage. That record is the starting point for a conversation India’s team management shouldn’t actually be having. The “move him to No. 3” argument misses two things: India already tested it […]
It’s not a last-minute venue swap for the league’s fourth season. The brand-new Fairplex ground is a purpose-built test bed for cricket’s long-awaited LA28 debut, designed from the ground up to scale between regular season play and global competition. Officials broke ground this spring with clear event alignment, turning a long-talked-about pipeline into tangible infrastructure […]
Root’s recall reshapes the batting order mostly by what it doesn’t change: the top five of Gay, Duckett, Bethell, Root, and Brook stay exactly as it was at Lord’s. The real shake-up sits lower down and in the bowling attack, where Stokes and Atkinson are both out following a curfew breach, Jordan Cox debuts at […]
Deepti Sharma took 5 for 10 against Pakistan at Edgbaston on June 14, career-best figures, the third best in Women’s T20 World Cup history, and the performance that made her Women’s T20I cricket’s all-time leading wicket-taker. India won by 64 runs. What matters more than the record is what it confirms: Deepti has become a […]
