WPL 2024 : Beth Mooney returns as captain of Gujarat Giants; Sneh Rana named her deputy

Posted on by Gaming Gyan

As the second season of WPL approaches, Gujarat Giants, owned by Adani Sportsline, has exciting news. Beth Mooney from Australia will lead the team as captain, with Sneh Rana from India as her deputy. They’ll be supported by head coach Michael Klinger, mentor Mithali Raj, and assistant coach Nooshin Al Khadeer.

Mooney was Gujarat Giants’ captain in the first season but got injured after the first game.

Mooney is known for her great batting in international T20 cricket. She’s been part of winning teams in the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup. Rana, an off-break bowler and right-handed batter, is a top Indian cricketer who performed well in the first WPL season.

Mooney is happy to be back and trusts her team. Rana supports her and believes in the team’s balance.

Sanjay Adesara from Adani Sportsline is proud of Mooney and Rana leading the team. He thinks WPL is important for cricket and is sure the team will do well.

Gujarat Giants will play against Mumbai Indians on 25 February at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Karachi Kings hit by player availability issues ahead of PSL 2024 season

Posted on by Gaming Gyan

Karachi Kings have been dealt a double blow ahead of their opening fixture of PSL 2024, learning that two of their overseas players have limited availability. Tabraiz Shamsi, the South Africa wristspinner, will miss the second half of the tournament, while English allrounder Jamie Overton has been withdrawn from the entire season.

ESPNcricinfo has confirmed that CSA has only issued NOCs to players for a limited period because they need to be back home for the domestic T20 which starts on March 8. Shamsi, who is a crucial part of South Africa’s limited-overs squads, is required by the board to return home to participate in the domestic T20 competition and will depart the PSL on March 6.

For Karachi Kings, Shamsi’s partial unavailability leaves them scrambling for a late replacement; Kings had, until now, believed the player would be available for the whole tournament.

Shamsi is expected to feature for Kings in their first six games of the season, starting with their fixture against Multan Sultans on Sunday, but will be unavailable for the business end of the tournament. It is a significant blow for the Kings, who are looking at a partial replacement for Shamsi to bolster their spin rank – which also include Mohammad Nawaz, Arafat Minhas and Shoaib Malik.

South Africa’s requirement to have centrally contracted players available for the domestic season will also affect Rassie van der Dussen at Lahore Qalandars. Van der Dussen, like Shamsi, must also return home on March 6, missing the best part of the second half of the season.

Overton has been pulled out of the PSL by his county, Surrey, who have withdrawn his NOC to ensure he is fit and fresh for the start of the County Championship season on April 5. He has spent the winter playing T20 cricket for Adelaide Strikers in the BBL and Gulf Giants in the ILT20, and suffered a minor shoulder injury at the ILT20.

Surrey’s decision means Overton will miss out on another opportunity to push his credentials for inclusion in England’s T20 World Cup squad after an impressive recent run in short-form cricket, which included being named MVP in the men’s Hundred last summer. He is uncapped in limited-overs internationals and won his only Test cap to date in June 2022.

These latest withdrawals have further weakened an underwhelming pool of overseas players at this year’s PSL. Last month, Lahore Qalandars’ Rashid Khan pulled out as he recovers from a back surgery in an attempt to ensure he is fit for the IPL in April.

On Sunday, Reece Topley also had his NOC revoked by England out of an abundance of caution after picking up a niggle in the SA20. South Africa’s insistence on centrally-contracted players participating in the domestic league, as well as a clash with a number of bilateral series, has also meant a smaller pool to pick from.

The PSL starts on February 17 in Lahore, with the final in Karachi on March 18.

BCCI To Make Playing 3-4 Ranji Trophy Games Mandatory For IPL Participation After Ishan Kishan Fiasco.

Posted on by Gaming Gyan

Ishan Kishan, the wicketkeeper and batter from Jharkhand, might have to play more traditional cricket matches, not just the IPL. This is because the people in charge of Indian cricket might make a rule that says players have to play a certain number of Ranji Trophy games if they want to be in the IPL.

They’ve told Kishan to play in Jharkhand’s last game against Rajasthan. This is because he didn’t play in many games before, saying he was tired from traveling. This made some important people in Indian cricket upset.

Kishan is practicing for the IPL with his Mumbai Indians teammate Hardik Pandya, instead of playing for Jharkhand. This has made people think that young players care more about the IPL than other cricket.

The Indian Cricket Board is not happy with young players skipping the traditional cricket season. They might make a rule that says players have to play some Ranji Trophy games before they can play in the IPL.

Some players don’t want to play traditional cricket if they’re not in the Indian team. They might only play T20 games and skip the rest. The board might make a rule to stop this.

Even the people in charge of the Indian team are upset with players who don’t want to play traditional cricket. They understand if someone like Hardik Pandya can’t play because of his body, but they don’t like it when players always have an excuse.

We’ll see if Kishan goes back to play for Jharkhand. There’s no talk yet about taking away his contract with the cricket board.

But wait, there’s more to this partnership than just having a famous face on board. CSK wants to grow its fan base globally and make its brand stronger. They’ve also unveiled a brand-new logo for the upcoming season.

Besides MS Dhoni, CSK has some fantastic players like Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Rachin Ravindra, Shardul Thakur, and many other international players.
