The controversy reared its head on Sunday when Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane was asked why Green did not bowl in the 6-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians. “That question you need to ask Cricket Australia,” was the captain’s response. “Hopefully Green starts to bowl soon, and the combination will be slightly different,” he had said a few moments earlier.

SC refuses to stay HC order allowing disciplinary proceedings against Wankhede

The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to overturn the Delhi High Court’s order permitting the Union government and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) to move forward with disciplinary proceedings against IRS officer and former Mumbai NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede. The proceedings are linked to the 2021 Cordelia cruise drug seizure case, during his tenure as Zonal Director with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), the ANI reported.  Noting that authorities had appointed an Inquiry Officer and a Presenting Officer for the inquiry against Wankhede without giving him sufficient time to respond to the chargesheet, the apex court bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe allowed Wankhede to file his response within two weeks.

No interference with HC order, says SC “While we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the High Court, we are of the opinion that the appointment of the Inquiry Officer as well as …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 23, 2026 04:22 PM IST Despite its recent home Test pitches in the 2025-26 Ashes series marking “bad for business”, Cricket Australia (CA) has decided against taking control over the playing surfaces across the country. Last year, the Ashes matches in Perth and Melbourne ended in two days, costing CA about AUD 15 million in revenue. Despite the monetary setbacks, the CA has maintained that a one-dimensional approach will not work for the varying conditions across the vast country. CA’s head of operations, Peter Roach, recently told the Australian Associated Press that it would be imprudent to overlook the pitches from a central standpoint. “It’s inconceivable that we could ever control much more than we do now,” Roach said. “In England, you could put in a central curator to go around or New Zealand, or South Africa, because the wickets and the clays and the climates are so similar.” “In Australia, because they’re so different, you could put the best curator in Australia to a different venue and all of a …
