We Were Deserving Champions: Bhuvneshwar On RCB's Back-to-back IPL Titles
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said Royal Challengers Bengaluru were deserving to become back-to-back IPL champions, adding that everyone should get credit for the way the side has performed since the 2025 season. At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, RCB defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets to defend the title they won at the same venue in 2025. I think the way RCB have waited all these years, they deserve to win back-to-back titles. I think everyone gets credit for it. The way the team has been performing for the past two years, I don't think anyone is dependent on the player. It's not an easy task to win backtoback, but I think it was a great job by everyone, said Bhuvneshwar in a video posted by the IPL on its social media accounts on Wednesday. Reflecting on his own campaign, where he picked 28 wickets for RCB, Bhuvneshwar remarked, Individually, it's been a very great season. A lot of things have gone well. Execution has been good. Execution after the thought process has worked. So I think it was a good season for me, for sure. There is no bigger highlight than winning the trophy, for which we work hard for 23 months. All teams do it it's not that we don't. But to end up with the trophy, I think it takes a lot. So, we have done that. Batting all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer, who featured prominently in RCBs run to the title, said the triumph will always have special memories for him. I've played a couple of finals before, but this felt totally different. It felt as if the entire country were playing with us. I saw on social media people praying for us, people doing aartis and what not for RCB. It should not come across as a shock that we made the finals or we won because the way we played our cricket, the way we played this season, I think we're deserving champions. But congratulations to GT as well for an amazing campaign. Two best teams played it out in the final, and for us, it was our day. It's something that I'll be cherishing for a very long time. I would like to thank God for this day. For allowing me the opportunity to represent this team and bring glory to it, he elaborated.

Debutants Gay, Baker In England Squad For First New Zealand Test
Debutants Emilio Gay: England have named uncapped batter Emilio Gay and fast bowler Sonny Baker for their 12-man squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's. The opening Test of the English home summer, which commences on Thursday, marks the beginning of a crucial rebuilding phase following Englands dismal 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia. England men have named a 12-player squad for the first Test against New Zealand, which begins on Thursday at Lord's. Durham top-order batter Emilio Gay and Hampshire pace bowler Sonny Baker, who are yet to be capped, are included. Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson returns to the England Test squad for the first time since February 2024, England Cricket Board said in a statement. The debutants in the squad are Durham top-order batsman Gay and Hampshire pacer Baker, and Ollie Robinson of Sussex returns to the Test setup for the first time since February 2024. Archer will not feature as he currently has a time out following six months on the road, is currently in Barbados, and will not be arriving in England until after the first Test match. He may be available for the second match of the series starting June 17. England head coach Brendon McCullum insisted a cautious approach would be taken with the paceman. Jofra, we need to assess, McCullum told BBC Sport. He's having a little bit of a break at the moment. We've seen in the past that we can leave Jof to his own devices, work on his game, and follow a plan that has been set. He turns up having followed that plan to a tee. When we see him, we'll work out where he sits and if he's available for the second Test. If not, we'll look at the third Test. Archer spent six months at the Rajasthan Royals' IPL campaign, until they lost in the playoff stages. Archer is one of many to be impacted by the tournament in terms of his preparation for the Test summer. Despite Archer's absence, Jacob Bethell was withdrawn from the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to a finger complaint. Bethell withdrew early from the 2026 edition of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad due to his finger injury. He is in line to play at the Lord's. In the squad announcement, it was noted that Brydon Carse suffered a fractured wrist during the IPL. He attended the Loughborough training camp with England and will not be appearing in the New Zealand series. The squad has been shortened from 15 members to 12 for the opening match of the series against the Kiwis. England spinner Shoaib Bashir is back in the fold after missing out during the Ashes campaign, and Robinson provides extra experience in the pace attack alongside Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue.
