IPL 2026: The Plan For Cummins Is To Play For SRH On April 25 Against RR, Says Vettori
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins will rejoin the squad on Friday evening, on the eve of their clash against Chennai Super Kings, but is expected to return to action only on April 25 against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, said head coach Daniel Vettori. Cummins, who has been recovering from a lumbar stress injury, had linked up with SRH on March 27, a day before their opening game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and travelled with the squad for the next fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders before flying home for a fitness test. After passing the fitness test in Australia, Cummins is now on his way back to rejoining SRH. He's flying today, so he will be with us, I think, this evening. The plan is for the 25th (of April), said Vettori in the pre-match press conference on Friday. In his absence, SRH experimented with their pace attack and found success in debutant fast bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Hussain, both of whom claimed four-wicket hauls against RR at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium earlier this week. Vettori called those performances encouraging, but added that adjustments could still be made based on how conditions play out in various matches. Obviously, we're very, very satisfied with the way that bowling group bowled, but we're going to have to check conditions again. We're playing on the same wicket as the last game, and obviously, Hyderabad's been exceptionally hot, so anticipating the wicket may be slightly different from the last one, and that may mean that we have to make some changes. But they'll be tactical changes, obviously, because the bowling group was so effective last game. 9 for 5, that's what impressed me the most. Look, I think particularly against (Vaibhav) Sooryavanshi and (Yashasvi) Jaiswal, who have been so incredibly successful since they've become an opening partnership, to, I suppose, have no fear going into that bowling spell. Two guys who I don't think ever bowled to either of them before, maybe a little bit in domestic cricket, but just still to have the confidence to go on and stick to their plans (that was impressive) and we know that that doesn't always work, but when it does work it's incredibly satisfying, he said. 9 for 5, that's what impressed me the most.

But when it clicks, its one of the best partnerships in the competition. Other teams play in a similar way, so we know how important it is and want them to keep that freedom. Article Source: IANS

T20 World Cup: The recently concluded ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026 has reportedly come under controversy after allegations of match-fixing surfaced in connection with Canadas game against New Zealand at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. According to an ESPNcricinfo report, the International Cricket Councils Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) has opened an investigation into Cricket Canada following claims made in a recently aired documentary. The Canada-New Zealand fixture, played on February 17, is said to be a key focus of the probe. Canada, after electing to bat first, posted 173/4. However, New Zealand chased down the target with ease in just 15.1 overs, winning by eight wickets to qualify for the Super Eight stage. Glenn Phillips remained unbeaten on 59 off 39 balls, while Rachin Ravindra scored an unbeaten 76 off 36 deliveries. The report stated that the ACU is examining multiple allegations involving Cricket Canada, including two active investigations linked to both international and domestic cricket. The allegations were highlighted in a 43-minute documentary titled Corruption, Crime and Cricket, produced by Canadian investigative programme The Fifth Estate and aired by CBC. The film reportedly details claims of corruption, governance failures, and other irregularities within Canadian cricket. One major area under scrutiny is the fifth over of New Zealands innings, bowled by Canada captain Dilpreet Bajwa. Appointed skipper only three weeks before the tournament, Bajwa conceded 15 runs in the over, including a no-ball and a wide, after New Zealand had been reduced to 35/2. Andrew Ephgrave, interim general manager of the ICC Integrity Unit, declined to comment on the specifics of the allegations. Consistent with its established operating procedures, the ACU is not in a position to comment on the substance of any allegations, the report quoted Ephgrave as saying. The unit operates across intelligence, prevention, education, and investigation, and acts wherever there is a credible risk to the integrity of the sport. A separate line of investigation reportedly involves a leaked phone recording of former Canada coach Khurram Chohan, in which he allegedly claimed that senior board members pressured him to select certain players. The recording also reportedly contains claims of attempted match-fixing, though these allegations remain unverified. Consistent with its established operating procedures, the ACU is not in a position to comment on the substance of any allegations, the report quoted Ephgrave as saying.

Canada T20 World Cup Game Under ICC Scrutiny After Corruption Claim
The International Cricket Council said Friday it is investigating Cricket Canada over allegations of match corruption, including the team's loss to New Zealand at the recent T20 World Cup hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The game in Chennai -- which Canada lost by eight wickets -- is under scrutiny following allegations of corruption highlighted in a documentary aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) on Thursday. The ACU (anti-corruption unit) is aware of the programme broadcast by CBC, Andrew Ephgrave, interim general manager of the ICC's Integrity Unit, said in a statement. The documentary by the public broadcaster made wide-ranging accusations of corruption and poor governance against Canada Cricket. In the Chennai game, suspicion is focused on the fifth over bowled by captain Dilpreet Bajwa during New Zealand's chase, according to the ESPN Cricinfo website. He started with a no-ball, bowled a wide, and ended up conceding 15 runs in the over. Canada scored 173 for four wickets in 20 overs, while New Zealand replied with 176 for two off 15.1 overs. The ICC, the game's world governing body, is also investigating a telephone call involving then Canada coach Khurram Chohan in which he claims that senior Cricket Canada board members put pressure on him to select certain players, it said. Governance matters in relation to ICC Members are considered by the ICC, where they fall under its jurisdiction, in accordance with the ICC's standard constitutional processes, Ephgrave said. Cricket Canada said it was treating the matter with utmost importance. Recent promotional material alludes to allegations related to organized crime and match-fixing -- issues that Cricket Canada takes extremely seriously, the organisation said on its website.

IPL 2026: SRH Pacer David Payne Ruled Out Due To Ankle Injury
Indian Premier League: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been dealt a major blow amid the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 as their fast bowler David Payne has been ruled out of the remaining season due to an ankle injury. David Payne has been ruled out of TATA IPL 2026 after sustaining an ankle injury. Wishing him a speedy recovery, Franchise wrote on X, confirming his exit. However, the team has not announced his replacement. Payne, who has played only one ODI for England, having mostly played domestic cricket, was unsold at the IPL 2026 Auction, but he got the opportunity after being named the injury replacement for Australian pacer Jack Edwards in the SRH squad ahead of the season. Payne was signed on the back of a terrific Big Bash League (BBL), where he claimed 11 wickets in six matches for Perth Scorchers at an economy rate of 7.95.

IPL 2026: Have Been Bowling A Lot Of Slower Balls For Years, Did Take A Lot Of Practice, Says Ngidi
Chennai Super Kings: Lungi Ngidi has made the slower ball his signature, but he is quick to point out it has been years in the making. Ngidi, one of the premier fast bowlers for South Africa, first lit up the IPL when Chennai Super Kings won IPL 2018 by claiming 11 wickets in just seven matches. After a brief stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru when they won the IPL in 2025, Delhi Capitals picked him up for INR 2 crore ahead of the ongoing season. With his height, pace, variations, and ability to deliver in crunch moments, Ngidi has been a central figure in DCs bowling attack. Ahead of DC preparing to get back to winning ways when they take on defending champions RCB on Saturday afternoon, in a virtual media interaction facilitated by the franchise, Ngidi reflected on his slower balls, the hardwork gone behind perfecting it, preparing to tackle Virat Kohli, playing under MS Dhoni and more. Excerpts: - Q. How did you first develop your slower-ball variation, and what went into perfecting it? A. Ive been asked this question a couple of times now since the World Cup. I started at CSK in 2018, and that is something Dwayne Bravo had mentioned to me, that I should work on a good slower ball. I asked him to teach me how he bowls his balls, and he showed me a couple of things. Obviously, it wasnt perfect off the bat for me, but I developed it over the years. It seems like everyone is surprised, but Ive been bowling this slower ball for years now. Its just that Ive probably added a bit more flight and revs to it. Whether I bowl it on a length or fuller, its still the same slower ball. It did take a lot of practice. A lot of guys ask me how I do it, and I think they feel its easy because they see guys try to bowl it from the first ball of their run-up. For me, it took almost close to a year to build the confidence to deliver this ball. It has become one of my weapons. It takes a lot of confidence to run in and bowl it, especially trying to get it to dip on a yorker length. There are times where I get it wrong, and like any world-class batter, they can hit it for a boundary. But when I get it right, it creates chances. In T20 cricket, thats what you want, to create chances or control the flow of runs. I was also watching trends of the IPL over the years, and it feels like everyone wants to bowl fast. But on these wickets, with the bats and the boundary sizes, pace can travel. So you need something different to stay relevant. Q. How did you first develop your slower-ball variation, and what went into perfecting it? A. Im not going to tell you my plans for Virat Kohli because that would defeat the purpose of wickets. But yes, you always come up with plans. You look at technical things, recent dismissals, and patterns. Thats normal planning for every batter before every game. Hes obviously one of the most consistent batters in that lineup, so you have to be aware of him. But having been around that setup, I know the other batters as well, and they are just as dangerous. Theyre in good form, so we will need to play well to beat them. Q. What mindset and confidence do you draw on when executing variations? A. It takes a lot mentally. Its a brave ball to bowl because when you get it wrong, it can become a low full toss or a slot ball and go for a boundary. The confidence comes from preparation. Ive been doing it for years and Im used to bowling under pressure. I bowl in the powerplay and at the death, so its always high-risk. Like the coach says, someone has to do the dirty job, and I guess thats my role. So I have to find ways to succeed in those situations. That includes variations, changing grips, and trying different things. The game is evolving, and you cant keep doing the same thing. Mentally, you have to be strong, and skill-wise, you have to execute well. Q. Do you prefer having multiple variations in your armoury, or sticking to a trusted stock ball? A. There are times where having too many options can become a problem, especially in longer formats. But in T20 cricket, things have changed. Batters are looking to score quickly, especially in the powerplay. If you keep bowling the same thing, they will catch on. You need variations because if something isnt working, you need another option. Otherwise, you get stuck. If conditions are helping, you can stick to your stock ball. But on a good batting wicket, you need something else. Sometimes having too many options can lead to overthinking, but it can also work in your favour because the batter doesnt know whats coming. Q. In T20s, how important are hard lengths and simplicity compared to mixing things up? A. Conditions decide how you bowl. A good ball on top of off stump will always be a good ball. That will never change. Thats where Test cricket has helped me. It gives you the base to execute your stock ball well. Variations help when youre under pressure, but the basics stay the same. Good technique and accuracy are still key. Q. With limited IPL opportunities, how do you maintain the surprise element in your bowling? A. This is my ninth IPL season, and there were about three years where I didnt play a game. Its frustrating, but you dont select yourself. I focus on what I can control, which is performing when I get the opportunity. I used that time to train and prepare for other cricket, including national duties. With the slower ball, people talk about it, but for me, its about execution. Even if a batter expects it, if I execute it well, its still effective. I also have conversations with players like KL Rahul, Axar Patel, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs to understand what batters might be thinking. At the end of the day, I focus on executing my plans and what the captain wants. Q. What emotions come into play when you face your former team RCB, and how do you handle them? A. I dont take emotions into the game. When I play, its purely professional and strictly business as you would call it. Im representing the Delhi Capitals now. I had a great time at RCB and we won the title, but that chapter is over. Now my responsibility is to perform for the Delhi Capitals who have showed their faith in me. Q. After two defeats, whats the mood like in the camp, and how do you keep playoff hopes alive? A. I cant predict the future, but we definitely have the squad to go far. The games weve lost have been close, and if we analyse them honestly, there were moments where we let ourselves down. Thats also the positive. If you can identify those mistakes and fix them, you have a good chance in the tournament. Theres something good building in this team. Q. Are you working on new variations, and how much do you learn from watching others? A. There are things Im working on, but you probably wont see them in this tournament yet. These things take time. Im always trying to learn. Bowling with players like Auqib, you pick things up. The way he swings the ball reminds me of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I dont come into the IPL thinking I know everything. Local players often have better knowledge of conditions. I respect that and Im always open to learning, while also sharing whatever I can. Q. What did winning the WTC and a Test series in India mean to you personally? A. Definitely the ICC trophy - it was the first time we did it for our country. That for me would have to take the cake. Winning a Test series in India is up there. It's very high but when we speak about history, the ICC trophy did a lot for us back in South Africa. Q. What was it like playing under MS Dhoni, and what have you taken from his leadership? A. Definitely the ICC trophy - it was the first time we did it for our country. That for me would have to take the cake. Winning a Test series in India is up there. It's very high but when we speak about history, the ICC trophy did a lot for us back in South Africa.
