CSK pacer Adam Milne ruled out of Tata IPL 2022, Matheesha Pathirana comes in as replacement: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have dealt another blow as their premier overseas pacer Adam Milne has been ruled out of the remainder of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) season fifteen. Milne picked up a hamstring injury during CSK?s opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders.

"Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have signed Matheesha Pathirana as a replacement for New Zealand pacer Adam Milne for the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Milne suffered a hamstring injury in CSK?s first match against Kolkata Knight Riders and has been ruled out for the rest of the tournament,? wrote Indian Premier League (IPL) in a statement released earlier today.



Matheesha Pathirana, who is widely reckoned as junior Lasith Maliga because of his sling action, was part of Chennai Super Kings? (CSK) reserves in the 2020 IPL.?

Notably, this is CSK?s second setback of the season. Earlier ace pacer Deepak Chahar was ruled out of the Tata IPL 2022 after suffering a back injury while he was undergoing a rehabilitation program for his quadriceps tear at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore.&nbsp;



Following Milne?s exit, CSK?s death bowling looks scanty and extremely vulnerable. In fact, CSK has been leaking a lot of runs during the death overs, which has been a concern for them.



The likes of Mukesh Choudhary, Chris Jordan, Tushar Deshpande, Dwayne Bravo and Dwaine Pretorius have been unable to perform efficiently during the slog overs.



Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) in tonight?s match in the DY Patil Sports Academy ground. Both the big franchises haven?t been able to unleash their best in the tournament.



CSK is placed in the penultimate position in the points table with just a single win, while the five-time champions, Mumbai Indians couldn?t even open their account and have lost six straight matches in the tournament. MI is placed at the bottom of the points table.

New Zealand Cricket Announces Central Contracts For The 2023-24 Season

new-zealand-cricket-announces-central-contracts-for-the-2023-24-season

PAK vs NZ: A brilliant knock of 74 runs in 41 balls from Finn Allen, followed by an outstanding four-wicket haul from Adam Milne, allowed the Kiwi?s to win the second T20 International on Sunday in Hamilton against Pakistan. The Black Caps now have a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20i series against the Men in Green



Despite brilliant half centuries from Babar Azam (66 runs in 43 balls) and Fakhar Zaman (50 runs in 25 balls), Pakistan failed in their pursuit of a target of 195 runs set by the Black Caps, and eventually the Men in Green were bundled out for 173 runs in the final over of the second innings.



However, the victory in the second T20 International came with a setback for the Kiwi?s as skipper Kane Williamson got retired due to a hamstring injury he suffered while batting in the 1st innings, thereby raising concerns regarding the skipper?s availability in the remaining three matches for New Zealand in the five-match T20i series against Pakistan.



The 2nd T20i followed in the footsteps of New Zealand's previous 46-run victory in the 1st T20i in Auckland on Friday, demonstrating their bowling attack's ability to regularly take wickets and prevent Pakistan from getting an upper hand in the run chase. At one point, the target looked achievable for the Men in Green thanks to the partnership of 87 runs for the 3rd wicket between Fakhar Zaman and former Pakistani skipper Babar Azam. But Adam Milne got the breakthrough as he managed to clean bowl Zaman (50 in 23 balls), which left the Men in Green at 97-3 in 10 overs.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BLACKCAPS/status/1746452865575531005
</div></figure>



After the dismissal of Fakhar, the Men in Green struggled, as no other batsman other than Babar Azam looked like a threat before he was dismissed by Ben Sears for 66 runs. Once Babar got dismissed, the batting unit of Pakistan was not able to do anything and was bundled out for 173 runs.



Adam Milne was the best bowler of the Kiwis, as he finished the game with figures of 4-33, while Tim Southee (2-31), Ben Sears (2-28), and Ish Sodhi (2-33) finished with 2-2 wickets each. All-rounder Mitchell Santner was the most expensive bowler of the night, as he ended the game without taking a single wicket and gave away 47 runs.



The Kiwi?s were once again asked to bat by Shaheen Afridi, and Kiwi opener Finn Allen dominated the Pakistani bowling as his knock of 74 runs included five sixes at an outstanding strike rate of 180.48. At the halfway point, the Black Caps were at 111-1 before skipper Kane Williamson suffered a hamstring injury and got retired for 26 runs. The Black Caps will be concerned regarding the fitness of the 33-year-old as he was injured for the majority of 2023, and he even missed the home ODI and T20i series against Bangladesh in December last year.



Opener Finn Allen carried on with his aggressive hitting before leggie Usama Mir cleaned him up with a beauty of a delivery. The remaining Kiwi batters couldn?t do much against Haris Rauf (3-38) and Abbas Afridi (2-43), but Mitchell Santner applied the finishing touch with his cameo of 25 runs from 13 balls.

PAK vs NZ, Finn Allen and Adam Milne shine as New Zealand defeat Pakistan in the 2nd T20I and take a 2-0 lead in the series

pak-vs-nz-finn-allen-and-adam-milne-shine-as-new-zealand-defeat-pakistan-in-the-2nd-t20i-and-take-a-2-0-lead-in-the-series

PAK vs NZ T20I: A couple of injuries have posed as a big challenge for the Kiwis ahead of their T20I tour of Pakistan, in the coming week. Fine batter Fin Allen and veteran pacer Adam Milne have been ruled out of the Pakistan vs New Zealand T20Is owing to the injuries. The development was confirmed by the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) Board on Friday, April 12. 



New Zealand have subsequently roped in Wicketkeeper Tom Blundell and uncapped all-rounder Zak Foulkes to the squad for the Pakistan tour, which starts on April 18 in Rawalpindi. 



While Foulkes has earned a maiden call-up to the shortest format side, Tom Blundell hasn't tasted anything in the format for more than two years now.



Adam Milne, reportedly, injured his ankle during one of the training sessions, while Finn Allen suffered a back injury, just ahead of their departure to Pakistan for the five-match T20I series.



"The nature of their respective injuries meant they wouldn't be able to take part in any of the five-match series, due to start next week in Rawalpindi," NZC said in a statement. "Plans for their return to cricket will be confirmed in the coming weeks."

It's worth noting that New Zealand's second-string squad has been picked for the PAK vs NZ T20Is due to their top players' commitments in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The likes of Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra among others are a part of the IPL 2024 proceedings.



Talking about the presence of Tom Blundell in the series against Pakistan, New Zealand coach Gary Stead said, "Tom is a highly experienced player and along with his wicketkeeping and batting skillsets is a leader in any group he is a part of. He also brings recent experience in the conditions, having taken part in both tours to Pakistan last year."



Meanwhile, the selection of Zak Foulkes, for the PAK vs NZ T20I series, has been based on his recent performances in the domestic games.



"Zak has had an impressive season for Canterbury including being their leading wicket-taker in all the competitions. He has displayed impressive skills with the ball, particularly in T20 cricket for the Kings. We also know he has skills with the bat and it will be an excellent opportunity for him to be part of the group."



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PAK vs NZ T20I Schedule</h2>



The <a href="https://www.pcb.com.pk/">PAK</a> vs NZ five-match T20I series is set to begin on April 18 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. In fact, the first three T20I games between PAK vs NZ will be held at the same venue, before the actions shift to Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for the last two games of the series.

PAK vs NZ T20I: Injury News, Finn Allen, Adam Milne RULED OUT of Pakistan vs New Zealand T20Is

IND vs ENG 4th T20I: With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. 
England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.
Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</h2>
England Squad: Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed
India Squad: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana
<hr>
<h2>Playing11 and Strategies</h2>
INDIA: Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  
When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt="">
However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.
*India Playing11: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy
ENGLAND: England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.
*England Playing11: Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
<hr>
<h2>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</h2>
The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.
 <img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679c4dfe0bbbc.jpg" alt="">
Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.
<hr>
<h2>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</h2>
Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. 
For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b286b99.jpg" alt="">
Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.
There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt="">
Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6798f7b59f608.jpg" alt="">
This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface. 
<h2>Dream11 Team- Grand League</h2>
Wicket-Keeper: Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson(C1) Batters: Surya Kumar Yadav, Den Duckett, Tilak Verma(C2) Allrounders: Hardik Pandya (VC), Liam Livingstone, J Overton Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, V Chakravarthy, Mark Wood

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India to travel to Dubai on this date; unlikely to play warmup game

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
