IPL-bound New Zealand players may leave for UK from Maldives: Gary Stead

 


New Zealand head coach Gary Stead has said that the Kiwi cricketers, who were featured in IPL 2021 and are currently in the Maldives post IPL cancellation, may leave for the United Kingdom over this weekend as well.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, Mitchell Santner and Kyle Jamieson have already left the mini bio-bubble in New Delhi and are in the Maldives after the suspension of the IPL 2021. While they will play in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final, they will have the company of the physio Tommy Simsek and trainer Chris Donaldson as the duo will also leave for England from the Maldives as well.

Meanwhile, Stead further added that it was unclear if they will have to undergo another quarantine period in the UK after coming from the Maldives.

"I don't know all the details right now. My understanding is that they are looking to leave (Maldives) somewhere around the time that we leave -- May 15, 16 or 17 -- in that time frame. My understanding is that the England board is still working through the final details of what it means to come through the Maldives as opposed to New Zealand," Stead was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. "They can still work on their fitness. So I don't see it as a bad thing. It's an adapting world and I think that's just something we've got to keep doing."

"Everyone has got their reasons around it. India changed very, very quickly, over the space of two or three days, and there were options put in front of the guys and he (Boult) felt for him and his mental health, the best thing he could do was get home for a while. He is a professional; he has been there in the international circuit for a long time now. He will be ready. We are working through what build-up looks like to him and his readiness for the World Test Championship final when he comes back to us," he concluded.

IPL 2021: CSK full squad details

Image
  Chennai Super Kings had a lot to do in the auction for IPL 2021 . They had a forgettable tournament last year. For the first time in the history of Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings ended the tournament at the 7th position. In the IPL auction, therefore, they had to buy some key players for a strong comeback. It was interesting to see Chennai Super Kings going for Cheteshwar Pujara. Not a lot would have thought of Pujara making it to an IPL side. While they went for some base price buys, they stacked up two players for a total of 16.25 crore. The challenge for Chennai Super Kings was to get some effective and young players on board to strengthen the core balance. K Gowtham and Moeen Ali can serve them as the all-rounders. However, they were in need of a back-up opener. Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, KM Asif, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, N Jagadeesan, Karn Sharma, Lungi Ngidi, M...

Amit Mishra shares his thoughts on spin bowling

Image
  India has produced a good number of quality spinners throughout the year but there are very few wrist spinners available and Amit Mishra is one of them. He feels that wrist spin is a difficult craft that can only be mastered with hours of honing the skill sets and also a leader who backs the player in difficult moments of the game. “Any leg-spinner needs a good captain because when the bowler is under attack, you need that sort of a skipper, who would back you to the hilt and give you that requisite confidence even when you have gone for a few runs,” Mishra told PTI in an exclusive interview. “A captain who basically understands the psyche of a leg-spinner.” Amit Mishra, who will be seen in action for Delhi Capitals this IPL season in India, has played 68 games across formats for India and one of the successful bowlers in IPL too. Meanwhile, in India barring Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav and Rahul Chahar, there aren’t many quality leg-break bowlers available too as well. ...

I see a different energy in Glenn Maxwell, says Virat Kohli

Image
  Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is excited to have Glenn Maxwell in his squad in the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they have started their hunt for the much-awaited IPL title against Chennai Super Kings on April 9. RCB gave a whopping Rs 14.25 crore for Maxwell, who was released by Punjab Kings earlier the mini-auction in Chennai in February this year. The Australian big-hitting all-rounder has a very poor record in the IPL but he was still in demand at the mini-auction in February. However, even before the auction, Maxwell had shared his desire to play for RCB under Kohli as well, and he was also keen on having Maxwell in his squad. "We wanted Maxi, specifically targeted him at the auction in February. You obviously feel great when things end up happening to where you thought they would. Zamps sent me that picture of them (Zampa and Maxwell) at a practice session handing over the RCB cap even before the auction happened. Zamps a very fun...
