Tom Harrison has signalled his support for a move towards four-day Tests, as part of a wider plan to keep the format viable amid the inexorable rise of T20 cricket

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Mar-2017Tom Harrison, the chief executive of the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), has signalled his support for a move towards four-day Tests, as part of a wider plan to keep the format viable amid the inexorable rise of T20 cricket.Speaking to , Harrison warned there was a “risk of loving [Test cricket] to death” unless the sport’s governing bodies were willing to compromise on its status within a packed global calendar. That, he explained, could mean playing fewer matches, over fewer days, but providing more meaning and context to each contest as a trade-off.”It’s about understanding the benefits from a consumer perspective,” Harrison said. “Can we create a better product by introducing a four-day format in certain conditions? My personal view is that I don’t think it works everywhere; like day-night Test cricket, it has to be the right time, right place, right conditions.”We have to take a look at the pressure on boards to keep Test cricket at the heart of their proposition. Four-day Test cricket is a really interesting debate and will evolve and I’m sure we will get there in the end.”Harrison’s comments bring him more into line with the views of the ECB chairman Colin Graves, who has been an advocate of the merits of four-day Tests for some time now.”I had to be convinced because when I started out I was massively against it [four-day Tests], but I am for it because with Test cricket there is a risk of us loving it to death. We have to adapt.”Harrison insisted his change of heart was not simply a ploy to create more space for more T20 cricket in the English summer, not least the new city-based competition that is set to get underway in 2020.However, Harrison did concede that the rise of privately-owned tournaments – in particular the IPL and the Caribbean Premier League, both of which overlap with the English season – was all the more reason to clarify the status of Test cricket in a crowded market. Failure to do so, he added, would be tantamount to “managing [Test cricket’s] decline”.”I am absolutely convinced the game can flourish over three forms,” Harrison said. “The balance between international and domestic cricket will change. We have to be careful about that and that is my fear about private ownership. Controlling private ownership will be difficult and controlling the ambition of very successful tournaments will be difficult.”Test cricket will become special and unique. It’s there and healthy and there will be less volume, which should be seen through the context of it being more positive. In this country Test cricket will be special, an occasion rather than a diet to serve the appetite of the grounds.”Test cricket remains absolutely central to the diet that we put out to our fans every year. We are still filling grounds for Tests and we are still the team that everyone wants to come and play against. A Test series in England is still regarded as the pinnacle for many players from overseas.”

Virat Kohli is the highest-paid cricketer in the IPL, according to salary figures released by the league on Friday

ESPNcricinfo staff01-Jan-2016Virat Kohli is the highest-paid cricketer in the IPL, according to salary figures released by the league on Friday.While Kohli will cost his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore Rs 12.5 crore (approximately USD 1.89 million) from their salary purse, they will actually pay him Rs 15 crore (USD 2.26 million). MS Dhoni, for long believed to be the most expensive IPL cricketer, will be paid USD 1.89 million, which is equal to his purse deduction, by the Pune franchise. Pune secured Dhoni in a draft of players who were part of the suspended Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals franchises.Apart from Royal Challengers, who are paying Kohli and Chris Gayle more than the purse deduction, Mumbai Indians are paying Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga and Ambati Rayudu more than the purse deduction they result in.However, contrary to the general perception that quite a few players used to get paid much more than the official purse deduction, quite a few have actually taken big cuts. Manan Vohra, retained by Kings XI Punjab, will get less than 10% of his Rs 4 crore (USD 600,000) purse deduction. Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir and David Miller are among those getting paid less than the purse deduction they are responsible for.Each franchise is required to spend a minimum of Rs 40 crore (USD 6 million) but not more than Rs 66 crore (USD 9.96 million) on their squad. However, when the franchise retains players, the purse-deduction slots are what are considered for the purpose of calculation of what it can and should spend.Kings XI are thus keen on saving money; after negotiating the salary with Vohra, they can actually spend far less than USD 600,000 on him. However, they will still lose USD 600,000 from their purse ahead of the auction. Royal Challengers, on the other hand, don’t seem to mind spending extra.In the case of former Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals players, though, the new franchises didn’t have any room to negotiate. The BCCI had assured the players left without teams but drafted by the two new teams they would be paid the same amount as they were earning earlier. So while Ravindra Jadeja might take away Rs 9.5 crore (USD 1.43 million) from Rajkot’s purse, he will actually get only Rs 5.5 crore (USD 0.83 million).

The BCCI working committee, which will meet in Chennai on Sunday, is unlikely to impose a life ban on the four cricketers allegedly involved in spot-fixing

Amol Karhadkar18-May-2013The BCCI working committee, which will meet in Chennai on Sunday, is unlikely to impose a life ban on the four cricketers allegedly involved in spot-fixing. The emergent working committee was called to discuss the implications of the involvement of Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan, Ajit Chandila and Amit Singh in the spot-fixing controversy.While some may perceive it as inaction, the working committee’s decision is influenced by a constitutional clause. According to the board’s constitution, a life ban cannot be imposed on a cricketer, who breaches the players’ code, for 30 days after an internal inquiry committee is constituted. “Taking that into account, it would be unjust to ban the players for life before the formal and internal investigations are completed,” a BCCI functionary told ESPNcricinfo, preferring anonymity. “That doesn’t mean the BCCI is taking the matter lightly. Immediately after Delhi Police arrested these cricketers, the Board suspended all of them pending inquiry.”If the BCCI acts in haste and bans players against the provisions of their constitution, the decision can be challenged in court.Apart from briefing all the working committee members on the information passed on by Delhi Police, one of the key matters on the agenda will be to ratify the appointment of Ravi Sawani to lead the one-man inquiry commission. Sawani, head of BCCI’s newly formed anti-corruption and security unit (ACSU), had been appointed to investigate the matter, IPL chairman, Rajeev Shukla said on Friday. The BCCI constitution gives its president the right to appoint an inquiry committee, provided the working committee ratifies it within 48 hours.Sawani has been invited to attend the meeting along with the ICC’s ACSU chief, YP Singh.
Since the BCCI’s ACSU is in its nascent stages, IPL’s anti-corruption activities have been outsourced to ICC’s ACSU for an annual fee of approximately US$1.2 million. The BCCI top brass is inclined to review ACSU’s mechanism. It is learned that the board officials will attempt to identify the loopholes in IPL’s security and discuss means to improve mechanisms that prevent players from being approached by bookies.With the BCCI facing criticism from all corners for ignoring the player-bookie nexus and allowing the fixing syndrome to grow rapidly, their decision to discuss the issue in detail with the ICC ACSU, and not question them, may be viewed as an exercise to pass the buck. But a BCCI source clarified that it was a “genuine attempt” to make the system as foolproof as possible to restore the credibility of the game.Hours after the Royals players were arrested in Mumbai in the wee hours of Thursday, a day after their match against Mumbai Indians, the BCCI suspended all three cricketers pending inquiry. The decision came even before the Delhi Police publicly revealed the evidence collected against the cricketers. On Friday, after realising that former Royals and Gujarat cricketer, Amit Singh was arrested as a bookie, the BCCI suspended him as well.

A Michael Carberry hundred and a fluent half-century from Jimmy Adams led Hampshire to a comfortable nine-wicket win against Somerset

27-May-2012
ScorecardA Michael Carberry hundred and a fluent half-century from Jimmy Adams led Hampshire to a comfortable nine-wicket Clydesdale Bank 40 win over Somerset in front of a 4,000 Taunton crowd.The two openers set their side on course to easily chase down a target of 213 with a stand of 103 in 14 overs before Adams fell for 56. Carberry went on to score an unbeaten 103 off 83 balls, with a six and 14 fours, as the visitors skated to victory with more than 11 overs to spare.Somerset had posted 212 for 9 after losing the toss, Nick Compton (81) and Jos Buttler (71) sharing a fourth-wicket stand of 121 and Dimitri Mascarenhas taking 2 for 17, bowling his eight overs straight through with the new ball.It never looked likely to be enough on a good batting pitch and Hampshire confidently made it three wins from as many Group B games with a convincing all-round performance.Mascarenhas had Somerset under pressure from the start, bowling with superb control from the River End and uprooting the off stump with similar deliveries to remove Craig Kieswetter and Peter Trego. When James Hildreth was caught at slip skying a top-edged pull off Chris Wood, the home side were 25 for 3 in the eighth over.Compton and Buttler were forced to show caution as they set about rebuilding the innings. But Buttler still produced some stunning boundaries all around the wicket to reach his half-century off 59 balls.He averaged 137 in the competition last season and was looking set for another century when run out by Liam Dawson’s direct hit at the bowler’s end having called for a quick single to mid-off.Compton was unable to break loose and hit only six fours in his 106-ball innings, but it was still a valuable knock as apart from him and Buttler, only Craig Overton (20) managed double figures in the face of some sharp Hampshire fielding.Somerset’s score looked 30 below par and they needed to take their catches to defend it. Instead the first chance went begging as Carberry, on 1, was spilled by Compton diving to his left at point off Trego. It proved an expensive miss as Carberry and Adams started scoring as they liked. Adams hit two towering sixes off Peter Trego, managing to hit his own car with one of them.He was first to fifty off 42 balls before lofting a catch to mid-on off Craig Overton. Carberry reached his half-century off 40 deliveries, with seven fours, and the result was never in doubt. Just to make sure, James Vince cracked an effortless 44 not out after Adams’ dismissal and Carberry won the game with the straight six that took him to his century.

The first edition of the Sri Lanka Premier League will be a seven-team inter-provincial tournament played over approximately 18 days at the end of July and the beginning of August this year at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo

Tariq Engineer08-May-2011The first edition of the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) will be a seven-team inter-provincial tournament played over approximately 18 days at the end of July and the beginning of August this year. The teams will play each other once, with the top four teams qualifying for the semi-finals. All the games will be played the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and the winner of the tournament will qualify for the Champions League Twenty20.ESPNcricinfo has learnt that the seven provinces that will be represented are Basnahira, Kandurata, Nagenahira, Ruhuna, Uthura, Uva and Wayamba. Sri Lanka Cricket will select the players for each team, with domestic players likely to be allotted to their home provinces, thereby ensuring the teams have local support.Each team will have a mix of Sri Lanka and international players with total squad sizes between 16 and 18 players. The playing XI must consist of a minimum of seven Sri Lanka players and a maximum of four international players, with one Sri Lanka player being a current Under-21 cricketer. Each team will also have its share of icon or marquee players, as well as a prominent ex-Sri Lanka player as a mentor or coach.International players will also be assigned to the various teams by the SLC national selection committee depending on the needs of each team. In this respect, SLC’s approach differs from the IPL, in which teams were sold to franchises who then bid for players in an auction. Among the international players who will be taking part are Kieron Pollard, Chris Gayle, Shahid Afridi, Daniel Vettori, Daniel Christian, Herschelle Gibbs and Kevin O’Brien.The SLPL has also approached a number of Indian players apart from those likely to be playing the Test series against England, and is waiting for the BCCI to approve their participation. The BCCI has already stated it has no problems with the proposed league and that Indian players are free to take part as long as there is no conflict with India’s international or domestic schedule.The league will be run by the Singapore-based Somerset Entertainment, which has bought the rights for five years. The television rights for the tournament have already been sold in Sri Lanka and the goal is to broadcast the tournament across all mediums in every cricketing nation. The matches will be played at 4 pm and 8 pm on most days, although some days will see only an 8 pm game.

Suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi will file his replies to the BCCI’s chargesheet by May 15, his lawyer Mehmood Abdi confirmed on Tuesday

Cricinfo staff11-May-2010Lalit Modi, the suspended IPL chairman, will file his replies to the BCCI’s chargesheet by May 15, his lawyer Mehmood Abdi confirmed on Tuesday. Abdi and the legal team are framing Modi’s defence from the documents given by the BCCI.He said only four of the ten charges against Modi in the show-cause notice carried documentary proof – the rest were verbal in nature.”Let’s go through the documents we have right now and then we will decide. As of now, yes, we are ready to file by May 15,” Abdi said in Mumbai. “We had asked for some documents from the board. We needed documentary support for at least 10 references made in the show-cause notice out of which four have been provided to us today.”The board secretary (N Srinivasan) has written in an email to Mr Modi that other references made in the show cause notice for which we wanted documentary support were oral transactions or verbal communications and there is no documentary proof for those.”Modi was suspended by BCCI on April 26, soon after the conclusion of the IPL, which sent him a show-cause notice asking him to reply to a slew of charges relating to the conduct of the high-profile Twenty20 league. Modi was alleged to have indulged in financial deals without the knowledge of the IPL Governing Council, bid-rigging and of behavioural pattern which was not acceptable.Modi was previously expected to appear at the BCCI headquarters on Monday to respond in person to the charges. But the BCCI agreed, on his request, to extend the deadline by another five days as he wanted some more documents from the board that would help in preparing his defence.Abdi said the four documents handed over to him included an agreement, two letters, one email and a copy of shareholding pattern of an IPL franchisee. It is reported that the emails and letters are related to Nimbus Communications, which holds the television rights to Indian cricket, domestic and international.Abdi had already handed over all documents, from Modi’s side, to the board. “So far they have not asked for anything more. In fact only last evening I had given them the second lot of documents which, from our side, is full and final. Still, if the BCCI want anything more from us we are ready to give.”

Former captain and team-mate braced to be overtaken as England’s leading run-scorer

ESPNcricinfo staff31-Aug-2024Alastair Cook hailed Joe Root as “a genius” after losing his record for the most England Test centuries to his former team-mate. Root made 103 in the second innings against Sri Lanka at Lord’s on Saturday, his second hundred of the match and his 34th overall in Test cricket, taking him clear of Cook’s former benchmark of 33.”He is quite simply England’s greatest, and it’s absolutely right that he should have this record, on his own,” Cook, who was England’s captain in each of Root’s first 53 Tests, said on commentary for the BBC’s “Take it in, Joe. We are watching a genius.”I don’t think there’s a batsman that I can remember watching play [who shares] the sense of inevitability about scoring runs that Joe Root gives off. I called it when he was on about 6 today, that he was going to get 100. I know he’s in great form, but it’s just a pleasure to watch a master, a craftsman at work.”Twin hundreds at Lord’s took Root’s career aggregate to 12,377 runs, and he needs 96 more runs at The Oval next week to overtake both Kumar Sangakkara and Cook. That would make him the fifth-highest run-scorer in Test history, and England’s highest. “He’s just got the final one to tick off next week,” Cook said. “In this kind of form, there’s no reason why he can’t.”Root milked Sri Lanka’s left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya during his second hundred of the match, scoring 60 runs off the 59 balls he faced from him. “The spinner was bowling today, and quite honestly, he could have hit him wherever he wanted with absolutely no risk,” Cook said. “That is the art of batting: low-risk shots which score you runs.”Cook was in the opposition when a teenaged Root made his List A debut as an 18-year-old in 2009, making 63 off 95 balls for Yorkshire against Essex. “He couldn’t get the ball off the square,” Cook recalled. “Everyone said, ‘he’s a good player’, but I didn’t see that.”Related

But three years later, Cook was England’s Test captain when Root made his international debut in the final match of their 2-1 series win in India. “I saw someone mentally ready to play Test cricket,” Cook said. “The only check was when he walked out to bat for the first time, how he would handle it.”The game was in the balance and he walked out to bat with his England cap on, looking 13, massive smile on his face. I watched his first few balls, and I was like, ‘This bloke is here to stay.’ I honestly said, ‘He’s scoring 10,000 runs.’ I don’t know who I said it to, but I know that I said it.”

Lawrence stars after announcement of move to Surrey, alongside Pepper and Sams

ECB Reporters Network18-Jun-2023Three Essex players smashed their highest scores of this year’s Vitality Blast to strengthen the Eagles’ quarter-final prospects as they saw off Middlesex at Lord’s for a fifth consecutive victory.Dan Lawrence – making a first appearance since the announcement of his upcoming move to Surrey – struck 53 from 30 balls before Michael Pepper hit 64 from 34 and Daniel Sams weighed in with a savage 24-ball knock of 67.That enabled the visitors to post 237 for six, overhauling the record Lord’s T20 total set by Kent Spitfires just two days earlier, and they were well on course to defend that when rain brought the game to a premature close.Middlesex, who have now lost all 10 of their South Group fixtures, had reached 116 for two halfway through the 13th over – needing an unlikely 122 more from 45 deliveries.Despite a slow start after losing the toss and being inserted, Essex were into their stride once Lawrence – who dominated the strike in the powerplay – had pummelled successive Tom Helm deliveries for four and six.The 25-year-old was in ruthless mood, striking the ball powerfully and using his feet as he cracked spinner Nathan Fernandes into the pavilion en route to bringing up a half-century from 26 balls.However, Feroze Khushi holed out off Martin Andersson and his opening partner followed suit, steering the same bowler into the hands of point – but Pepper eagerly accepted the baton, unfurling the sweep to dispatch Middlesex’s spinners time and again.He punched Josh de Caires to the cover boundary to equal the scoring rate for Lawrence’s 50 and looked well-placed to convert that into a maiden T20 ton – only to become another Andersson victim when he speared to third man.Paul Walter took advantage of the short boundary on the grandstand side, clearing it twice in his first three balls and Sams proved even more destructive, smashing eight sixes as the pair added 62 from 27 for the fifth wicket.The Australian all-rounder butchered Middlesex’s bowling, taking 20 off four deliveries of the final over from Fernandes before departing to a return catch, but it looked as though the visitors already had more than enough in the bank.Stephen Eskinazi plundered two sixes from Sam Cook’s opening over to get his side’s reply up and running, yet a barren stretch of 28 balls without a boundary left them well behind the required run-rate.Sams uprooted the skipper’s leg stump for 28, but Ryan Higgins took a pugnacious approach by pulling Matt Critchley twice over the short boundary as he shared a second-wicket stand of 70 from 36 with Joe Cracknell.Lawrence came on to break the partnership by having Higgins caught in the deep for 32, with Cracknell undefeated on 36 from 33 when rain halted play midway through the next over.

“If I don’t get picked up this year not sure when I will,” he says of his IPL expectations after a bumper BBL season

Andrew McGlashan25-Jan-2022Ben McDermott feels better placed to take on the challenges of international cricket after his prolific BBL season, and admitted that his earlier spells with Australia were difficult experiences.McDermott earned a recall for the T20I series against Sri Lanka next month on the back of 577 runs for Hobart Hurricanes and it comes just a few months on from being overlooked for the T20 World Cup after struggling in West Indies and Bangladesh. Those two tours were not easy for McDermott, who twice picked up injures and missed the birth of his first child, and he currently averages 13.66 from 17 T20Is, but is now one of the frontrunners to replace the rested David Warner at the top of the order alongside captain Aaron Finch.Related

“I’ve had a lot of experience through maybe [being selected] prematurely; I don’t think I wasn’t ready to play for Australia but I do feel ready now,” he said after being named the BBL Player of the Tournament. “I feel like I’m on top of my game whereas in previous years I have sort of been in and out through player bans, Covid, all that sort of stuff, that’s how I’ve got my opportunities.”I feel like I’m more ready than ever to play for Australia and I’ve developed a lot of learnings through those experiences. They haven’t been good ones, I won’t shy away from that, but definitely learnt and come back better.”The lean tours of the Caribbean and Bangladesh put paid to his chances of being in the World Cup squad but he has come to see that as a benefit. It allowed him to play domestic cricket for Tasmania before the BBL, although his Hurricanes campaign did have a delayed start after he edged a delivery into his groin during training and required surgery on a ruptured testicle.”In a way I was glad I was left out because you saw with a player like Josh Inglis, who took my spot, he went over there and didn’t play a game and missed a lot of the domestic cricket,” McDermott said. “I was very disappointed when I heard I wasn’t going to be part of that squad, that would have been awesome to experience, but at the same time, think I developed a lot this summer and through that West Indies and Bangladesh series.”It’s always tough to miss out on squads but nice to be playing domestic cricket instead of running the drinks.”His Hurricanes team-mate Matthew Wade remains the incumbent wicketkeeper in Australia’s T20I plans – despite McDermott having the gloves in the BBL – and while Inglis is ahead of him in the pecking order when time comes for a change, it is a role he is eager to keep improving.”It doesn’t hurt you to have that extra string to the bow,” he said. “I’ve been working hard at it, I really enjoy wicketkeeping when I do get the opportunity. I’ll definitely be working hard on it and keep doing it for the Hurricanes if I get the opportunity.”He is also hoping that his BBL success will attract interest at the IPL mega auction coming up on February 12 and 13. “If I don’t get picked up this year not sure when I will,” he said. “There’s not too much I can do now, it’s all up to those people in charge.”

Current champions New South Wales will begin their campaign on October 22

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Sep-2020The first four rounds of the 2020-21 Sheffield Shield season will be played in an Adelaide hub starting on October 10 and stretching through until November 17.Playing a full Sheffield Shield season was one of the key commitments made at an Australian Cricket Council meeting last month – comprising of the chairs of Cricket Australia, state and territory associations and the Australian Cricketers Association – with CA also aiming to play the Marsh One-Day Cup, WNCL and Under-19 male and female championships in early 2021.The Shield will begin with South Australia facing Western Australia at Karen Rolton Oval and Queensland playing Tasmania at the Park 25 ground. Due to the 14-day quarantine period imposed on people arriving into South Australia from Victoria, their first-round match against New South Wales will take place from November 17-20.With the opening up of the New South Wales-South Australia border on Thursday travel between those states will not require quarantine, should that remain the case into next month, and could also mean New South Wales’ players are able to play extra grade cricket before their Shield season starts on October 22 with the reverse fixture against Victoria.Victoria’s players are currently undergoing a period of quarantine ahead of taking a charter flight to Adelaide on October 5 where they will stay at the new Oval Hotel at Adelaide Oval and be able to train during two weeks of further quarantine.”It has been a unique pre-season but we have been fortunate to be able to maintain our training schedule and conditioning during the Covid-19 lockdown. We’ve been working closely with Cricket Australia throughout this process to deliver a schedule outcome that is fair to Victoria given the quarantine periods involved for us,” Cricket Victoria’s general manager of Cricket Shaun Graf said.”We’ll take an extended squad of players with us to Adelaide to give us scope to make changes over these first few matches where or as we need to. Despite the challenges, I know all the players are keen to get out on the park and play some real cricket.””The Marsh Sheffield Shield is an incredibly strong competition and for generations has been a crucial factor in the success of the Australian men’s team,” CA chief executive Nick Hockley said. “It is the envy of cricketing countries throughout the world. We would like to thank the South Australian government for their willingness to work together to deliver these fixtures.”Many people have worked incredibly hard to arrive at this outcome, whilst recognising that player and staff safety and wellbeing remains the priority and having government restrictions in place to keep the community safe from Covid-19.”CA will also be staging full WBBL and BBL competitions this summer, so there will be no shortage of action and opportunity for our women’s and men’s players.”I would like to thank all our stakeholders across the game for their support, most notably the State and Territory Associations and the Australian Cricketers’ Association.”Alistair Nicholson, the ACA chief executive, said: “Our players place an enormous value on our domestic competitions, and this has been reflected in their commitment and flexibility to get the game going.”Confirmation of the reworked WBBL season, which will be played entirely in Sydney starting October 25, is expected shortly while the BBL may involve a rolling hubs around the country depending on Covid-19 restrictions.2020-21 Sheffield Shield fixturesRound 1October 10-13: South Australia v Western Australia, Karen Rolton Oval
