Uncapped CSK Pacer Emerges As Surprise Pick For England Test Series: “He’s Deceptive…”

Anshul Kamboj in action for Chennai Super Kings© BCCI Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming believes that fast bowler Anshul Kamboj can be a great addition to the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Test series against England. Following CSK’s match against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, Fleming said that Kamboj’s deceptive pace and ability to hit the right lengths can prove to be quite useful in the English conditions. The BCCI selectors are expected to pick the squad this week with few question marks over Mohammed Shami’s fitness. “Kamboj is good. His speeds have been around 138-139 (kmph). He is deceptive and the ball always seems to hit the gloves harder. His big strength is his length, and he just gets the ball to wobble. You have seen it in this year’s IPL how he has performed on reasonably flat wickets. I believe he will do well on that tour (of England) if he gets conditions that seam a bit and a little bit of swing,” Fleming said. Kamboj was selected …

With Chinelle Henry and Deandra Dottin ruled out of the West Indies squad, two uncapped players, Jahzara Claxton and Realeanna Grimmond, have been called out for England ODIs. Jahzara Claxton is an all-rounder who was named in the West Indies’ squad at the ICC Women’s U-19 World Cup earlier this year, while Grimmond is a top-order batter also yet to debut at the international level. The pair are the only new faces to the squad that narrowly missed out on progressing through to this year’s Women’s Cricket World Cup via the Qualifier event in Pakistan, with Henry and Rashada Williams the player to drop out. The West Indies squad will once again be led by star all-rounder Hayley Matthews, with Shemaine Campbelle the vice captain. Meanwhile, the inclusion of Karishma Ramharack, Stafanie Taylor and Afy Fletcher brings in experience to the squad. West Indies coach Shane Deitz is looking forward to the tour and believes his team are well equipped to showcase their skills and mix it with the strong England side. “Going to England …

“To Accommodate MS Dhoni…”: Sunil Gavaskar Slams IPL Uncapped Player Retention Rules

Published by Webster

Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, an old rule was brought back, allowing players who haven’t played international cricket for five or more years to be retained as uncapped players. The rule helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) retain their legendary skipper MS Dhoni for just Rs 4 crore. Legendary former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has now come out and blasted the rule change, and also stated that the price to retain uncapped players shouldn’t be as high as Rs 4 crore. Gavaskar, in particular, criticised the Rs 4 crore amount that franchises must pay to retain uncapped players, and felt that the league’s wish to keep Dhoni a viable option for CSK forced the amount to be that high. Gavaskar stated that such a high price could have a negative influence on young, uncapped players. “A whole lot of the players bought for huge amounts simply fade away as their hunger and drive are satiated. To the franchises, it perhaps doesn’t matter as they may feel it’s good riddance, but …
