Trent Rockets reach both Hundred finals as IPL owners make their Lord's debut
Key Highlights: The Hundred crowns its 2026 men's and women's champions at Lord's this Sunday, 16 August, with the women's final at 2.15pm and the men's at 6pm. This is the first season where IPL-linked owners have taken operational control of English teams: Mumbai Indians now own MI London, Sunrisers Hyderabad own Sunrisers Leeds, and Manchester Super Giants are Adani-backed. Trent Rockets topped both the men's and women's group tables outright, meaning they're already through to both finals without needing to survive Friday's eliminators at all. The Hundred reaches its climax at Lord's this Sunday, and for the first time, three of English cricket's most famous grounds are being represented by teams that didn't exist under these names a year ago. Mumbai Indians now run what used to be Oval Invincibles, rebranded MI London. Sunrisers Hyderabad control the team formerly known as Northern Superchargers, now Sunrisers Leeds. Manchester Originals became Manchester Super Giants under Adani-backed ownership. It's the biggest structural change English domestic cricket has seen since The Hundred launched in 2021. None of that money bought a spot in Sunday's final outright, though. That's currently sitting with Trent Rockets, in both competitions, without any takeover at all. What actually changed at the top of English cricket this year? For the first time, IPL-linked investment groups took direct operational control of three franchises rather than simply holding a minority stake, following an ECB restructuring that valued the eight teams at more than 975 million. Player recruitment changed too: 2026 introduced cricket's first live player auction for the competition, replacing the old draft system, held in London over two days in March. Overseas player slots per side rose from three to four, and the rebranded teams came with sharply increased spending power to match their new ownership. The intent behind the overhaul was straightforward: more investment, higher-profile signings, and a tournament positioned to compete for attention against franchise leagues the IPL owners already know intimately. So why isn't one of the rebranded teams already in the final? Because Trent Rockets did their business quietly instead. Both the men's and women's Rockets sides finished top of their respective eight-team group tables, which under The Hundred's format sends the league leader straight through to Lord's, no eliminator required. ESPNcricinfo has credited the club's auction strategy and recruitment planning specifically for getting them there, rather than any single standout signing. It leaves a genuinely interesting split heading into the weekend: the sides with the biggest new financial backing are still fighting through Friday's eliminators at the Kia Oval to even reach Sunday, while the team that didn't rebrand or bring in new ownership has already booked its place in both finals. Finals Day, Lord's, Sunday 16 August Women's final 2.15pm, Trent Rockets vs eliminator winner Men's final 6pm, Trent Rockets vs eliminator winner Women's eliminator (14 Aug) Southern Brave vs Sunrisers Leeds Men's eliminator (14 Aug) Manchester Super Giants vs Sunrisers Leeds Reigning champions MI London (men's, as Oval Invincibles); Sunrisers Leeds (women's, as Northern Superchargers) Reserve day Monday 17 August Who else is worth watching if Trent Rockets aren't your team? Sunrisers Leeds have real form heading into their eliminators in both competitions, with Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland driving their women's side into a four-match winning streak after a slow start, and the men's team fighting to defend the title they won last year as Northern Superchargers' city rivals. Manchester Super Giants reached the men's eliminator on the back of a dominant win over Sunrisers Leeds that doubled as a virtual knockout match days earlier. Whichever teams make it through, Sunday closes out a tournament that's already made its biggest change off the pitch rather than on it. Whether the IPL ownership experiment actually shows up in the results starts to matter from next season onward. This year, the story so far is that it hasn't.

NCB secures return of naco-peddler Virender Singh Basoya from UAE: Amit Shah
New Delhi, Aug 14: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has secured the return of fugitive drug kingpin Virender Singh Basoya from the UAE. In a post on X, Shah said, Modi govt is relentlessly tracking down drug traffickers hiding abroad and destroying their entire ecosystem with a ruthless approach. The NCB, he said, secured the return of Basoya from the UAE creating a ew milestone in the policy of zero tolerance against narcotics. By tracing the criminal through a top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top approach, our agencies have once again proven that no matter where drug traffickers hide, they cannot escape the long arm of Indian law, he said. Basoya's name had surfaced in a seizure of 500 grams of Mephedrone, a synthetic stimulant commonly known by street name meow meow, in Pune in 2024. The probe was later expanded to identify and dismantle the entire drug trafficking network resulting in the recovery of approximately 867 kg of Mephedrone from Pune and 970 kg from Delhi, taking the total recovery to approximately 1,837 kg of Mephedrone. The NCB Mumbai unit took over investigation and identified Basoya as the alleged mastermind based abroad who coordinated activities of the syndicate from foreign shores and smuggle out Mephedrone consignments from India to other countries. A major consignment of approximately 970 kg of Mephedrone, recovered in Delhi, was allegedly linked to preparations for export through courier channels associated with him. His role emerged as an important link connecting the domestic manufacturing and trafficking network with its overseas distribution channels, a statement from the Home Ministry said. His name also cropped up in a separate case of Delhi Police Special Cell relating to international cocaine trafficking. In October 2024, the Special Cell of Delhi Police busted a major drug trafficking cartel, leading to multiple seizures from godowns and other premises in Delhi, Hapur and Ghaziabad, as well as from a factory in Ankleshwar, Gujarat. The coordinated operations resulted in the recovery of more than 1,300 kg of cocaine, Mephedrone and hydroponic weed, it said. Investigation into the cartel revealed Basoya's alleged role in coordinating the procurement, transportation, storage and distribution of cocaine and other drugs, it said. The NCB launched Operation GLOBAL-HUNT, launched to identify, locate and pursue major narcotics traffickers and fugitives operating from overseas jurisdictions using international cooperation mechanisms, including Interpol Red Notices. Basoya repatriation from the UAE is one of the key achievements of the operation, it said. NCB Deputy Director General (operations) Neeraj Gupta told reporters here that Basoya escaped to Dubai just a day after the Pune police registered a case against him in 2014. Basoya is a ig kingpin of the drug trafficking network against whom an Interpol Red Notice was issued in November 2025, Gupta added. He said Basoya also faces a 2009 DRI case in which he had gone to jail and a charge sheet in this case is before the court.
