PCB Set To Take Legal Action Against Muzarabani For Ditching PSL For IPL
The Pakistan Cricket Board: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is planning to take legal action against Zimbabwe bowler Blessing Muzarabani after the pacer withdrew from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) at the very last minute to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Muzarbani has joined the three-time IPL champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman, who was released from the squad following the instructions from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Muzarabani, who has represented Zimbabwe in 89 T20Is, was earlier roped in by three-time champions Islamabad United for 11 million PKR as his West Indies counterpart Shamar Joseph's replacement for the PSL 11, scheduled to run from March 26 to May 3. According to a report in Geo Super, the fast bowler's decision to ditch the PSL drew a stern reaction from the PCB, which is set to take legal action against Muzarabani.

Narendra Modi Stadium: Indias T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav took a moment to reflect on a remarkable milestone, celebrating five years in international cricket. His journey with the national team began on March 14, 2022, when he debuted against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the very ground where he recently led India to a historic third triumph at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup against New Zealand earlier this week. 5 years ago, a dream turned into reality. Wearing the India jersey is a feeling I can still never fully put into words. Heres to many more memories that were going to create, for team India, he wrote on X. His rise to international cricket was not immediate. Unlike many players who break through early, Suryakumar spent years excelling in domestic competitions and the Indian Premier League before finally receiving his opportunity with the national side. Once the door opened, he made sure to leave an unforgettable impression. One of the defining highlights of his career came during the 2024 edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, hosted in the United States and the West Indies. As a key member of the squad, he contributed significantly to India finally ending their long drought for a global ICC trophy. Ever since his debut, the Mumbai-born batter has established himself as one of the most destructive players in the shortest format. Across 113 T20 Internationals, he has scored 3,272 runs at an average of 36.35 while maintaining an extraordinary strike rate of 162.94, figures that only partially capture the flair and unpredictability he brings whenever he walks out to bat.

Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, the BCCIs highest honour recognising outstanding service to Indian cricket, the BCCI said in a statement.

This annual event celebrates outstanding achievements and lasting contributions in international, domestic, and youth cricket, while recognising individuals who have significantly influenced the development and prestige of the sport in India. A prominent member of Indias legendary 1983 World Cup-winning team, Binnys impact on cricket has spanned decades as a player, mentor, and administrator. Famous for his skilful seam bowling and crucial breakthroughs, he was the top wicket-taker in the 1983 World Cup, playing a key role in a defining moment in Indian cricket history. As part of the Indian team that won the 1985 World Championship of Cricket, Binny is also the first Indian cricketer to open both bowling and batting in a single ODI. After retiring from playing, Binny dedicated himself to Indian cricket with equal distinction. As coach of the Indian Under-19 team, he led them to win the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in 2000, helping young players begin their professional careers. He also served as a national selector from 2012 to 2016, significantly influencing the team's composition during a crucial period in the sport's development. Recently, Binny has maintained his long-standing involvement in Indian cricket through administrative roles. He was the 36th President of the BCCI from 2022 to 2025, leading the organization during a period of notable growth and increased global recognition for Indian cricket. During his tenure, the BCCI enhanced its focus on excellence throughout the cricketing ecosystem. His leadership demonstrates a lifelong commitment to the sport. Dravid will be recognised for his profound impact on Indian cricket, both as one of the most talented batters the sport has seen and as a coach who helped usher in a new era. His distinguished international career was characterised by a textbook batting style, unwavering resilience, solid defence, and overall mastery. He scored over 24,000 international runs, led Indias batting order across formats for more than ten years, and played a key role in many of the teams most memorable wins as both a batter and captain. After retiring from playing, Dravid smoothly moved into a position that contributed to shaping Indian cricket's future. As the Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), he significantly enhanced Indias player development systems, mentored emerging cricketers, and helped establish a strong talent pipeline for the national teams. His impact was particularly notable when he led Indias Under-19 team to win the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in 2018. His influence expanded when he became the head coach of the Indian mens team. He carried the same clarity of purpose and focus on discipline that marked his playing days. Under his leadership, India won the ICC Mens T20 World Cup in 2024, showcasing resilience, preparation, and dominance internationally. Mithali, one of womens cricket's most iconic figures, will be honoured with the BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award for Women, acknowledging her remarkable role in promoting the womens game worldwide. Throughout a distinguished international career lasting over twenty years, Raj set new standards of excellence through her grace, reliability, and leadership. As the top scorer in womens ODIs with 7805 runs at an average of 50.68, she established benchmarks that changed the perception of womens cricket in India and motivated many young girls to pursue the sport. Her inspiring captaincy was equally important, leading India to two ICC Womens World Cup finals and establishing the team as a strong international contender. Through her outstanding accomplishments and enduring impact, Raj has been pivotal in elevating Indian womens cricket to new heights. The Naman Awards will also honour exceptional performances in international, domestic, and age-group cricket throughout the 202425 season. Indias Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill will receive the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer (Men) for the 202425 season for the second time.

IPL 2026: 'Rohit Sharma Should Be On Ground For 40 Overs,' Says Aakash Chopra
Indian Premier League: Former India cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra believes that Rohit Sharma should remain on the field for the entire duration of a T20 match instead of being used as an Impact Player by the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Chopra said it makes little sense for a fully fit player like Rohit to feature only as a batter when he can contribute throughout the match. Logically, if you are fit, you should play the whole game and not be substituted. Especially when you are batting second, you shouldn't come in as an impact player. An opener is not used to watching 20 overs of the match from the dugout, Chopra told Jio Hotstar. Cricketer turned commentator, Chopra, also explained that opening batters are accustomed to being involved in the game from the start and preparing accordingly before walking out to bat. Opening batters are used to staying on the field, preparing accordingly and then hitting the ground running. Rohit Sharma is the fittest, meanest and maybe the strongest at this point in time, so he should be on the ground for all 40 overs. That's actually how Mumbai Indians will be able to make full use of Rohit Sharma, he added. Meanwhile, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh also felt Rohit should not be restricted to a substitute role and highlighted the value of his experience on the field. Rohit Sharma has been used as the 12th man who just bats, but I feel that the kind of leader he has been, a player like him should be on the field. In tough matches, when you need to take certain calls, when a captain sometimes needs a shoulder to lean on, Rohit Sharma can do that for Hardik Pandya, Harbhajan said. Meanwhile, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh also felt Rohit should not be restricted to a substitute role and highlighted the value of his experience on the field. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rohit had a poor stint in the last season, where he scored just 240 runs.
