New Zealand Cricket Backs NZ20 Over Super Smash as Preferred Domestic Competition

The New Zealand Cricket has decided to back NZ20, a new domestic competition, over Super Smash for the plans. The transition also comes after Scott Weenink stepped down amid disagreements surrounding the introduction of the new T20 league. The NZC’s preliminary approval of the same would help the board in working towards the development of the league, which includes licensing to commercial. According to the release, the move would completely restructure New Zealand’s domestic T20 competition and would replace Super Smash. The Super Smash for men’s format was originally introduced in 2005/06, while the women’s competition began in 2007/08. The introduction of the NZ20 would mean the local domestic tournament, Super Smash.

‘Parineeti and I were never friends’: Saina Nehwal on unfollow buzz and how she would’ve preferred Shraddha Kapoor to do her biopic | Bollywood News

Parineeti Chopra portrayed badminton star Saina Nehwal in the 2021 biopic Saina, directed by Amol Gupte. While the film underperformed at the box office, Parineeti’s performance was appreciated. The film resurfaced in conversations last month after the internet noticed that Parineeti no longer follows Saina on social media, even though Saina continues to follow her. In a recent interaction, Saina said she was largely unaware of it and believes it may simply be linked to the professional nature of their association during the film. Speaking to Vickey Lalwani, Saina said she found out about the unfollow much later and didn’t attach much significance to it. ‘Parineeti and I were not friends’ “I didn’t even know that she had unfollowed me. I thought about it and felt that perhaps she was focused on the work — and once the film was done, she moved on to her next project,” she said. Saina said that while Parineeti trained with her for the film, the two never developed a close friendship due to time constraints. “Friendship requires spending …

With India set to start the white-ball leg of the South Africa series, there has been a lot of speculations on where Ruturaj Gaikwad will play. Gaikwad has been in hot form, slamming 210 runs in 3 ODIs for India A against South Africa A recently which helped him return to the national side. Former India batter Aakash Chopra, however, does not see Ruturaj coming back into the playing XI just yet. “According to me, Yashasvi Jaiswal with open the Indian innings with Rohit Sharma. Why? 2 reasons. Firstly, the left-right combination and secondly, in the pecking order Yashasvi is a little bit ahead of Ruturaj. It’s an important series for Jaiswal because he has come in place of the captain. So even if you don’t get much chances, the ones you get, you have to grab them,” Chopra posted on X. “Virat Kohli will come in at no.3, KL Rahul, the captain will come in at No.4. Rishabh Pant will be at No.5 and if you are thinking, why not Tilak Varma, then let …
