IPL Tightens Rules to Prevent Overseas Player Withdrawals

IPL Tightens Rules to Prevent Overseas Player Withdrawals

By September 30, 2024 0

Overseas Players Face Stricter IPL Rules to Prevent Withdrawals

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has implemented new regulations to discourage overseas players from withdrawing after being auctioned. These rules aim to ensure player availability and prevent disruptions for franchises.

Mandatory Registration and Availability

Overseas players must now register for the mega auction. Failure to do so will make them ineligible for the subsequent mini-auction. Once registered and selected, players must remain available throughout the season.

Penalties for Withdrawals

If an overseas player withdraws before the season starts without a valid reason, such as a confirmed injury by their home board, they will face a two-season ban from the tournament and player auctions.

Fitness Assessment and Reporting

Players with a history of recurring injuries, like Ben Stokes, must undergo a fitness assessment by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) if they participate in the IPL mega auction and subsequently get injured. If they withdraw after the assessment, they must report to the BCCI’s medical team or risk missing the next two seasons of IPL.

Capped Fee for Mini-Auctions

To further deter withdrawals, the IPL has capped the maximum fee for overseas players at mini-auctions. This fee will be the lowest of the highest retention price and the highest auction price from the mega auction.

Impact on Overseas Players

These new rules require overseas players to carefully consider their availability and fitness before participating in the IPL. Failure to comply with the regulations could result in significant penalties that could impact their careers.

England to Manage Jofra Archer's Workload in ODI Series Against Australia

England to Manage Jofra Archer’s Workload in ODI Series Against Australia

By September 16, 2024 0

England’s cautious approach to Jofra Archer’s workload will continue during the upcoming five-match ODI series against Australia. Archer has been gradually reintegrated into international cricket after recovering from back and elbow injuries.

Despite his impressive performance in the T20 World Cup, Archer has been carefully managed to avoid overexertion. He played only 3.3 overs in the T20I series against Australia and was rested for the second game in Cardiff.

England’s interim coach, Marcus Trescothick, emphasized the need to manage Archer’s workload throughout the ODI series. “He’s played a really good stint of T20 cricket, but there’s a jump in intensity getting loads up to taking full part in an ODI,” Trescothick said.

Archer’s long-term goal is to return to red-ball cricket, but he has not played a first-class match since May 2021. Trescothick confirmed that Archer is comfortable with the ECB’s plan to manage his workload.

“He knows the plan,” Trescothick said. “It’s discussed long in advance of picking the team on each day. We know what we’re doing with him, and where we’re going.”

Trescothick will continue to assist England as an assistant coach for the Test series in Pakistan and New Zealand. He believes his experience working with Brendon McCullum will ensure a smooth transition when McCullum takes charge across formats in January.

“I’m directing it in a way that I know will be very similar to when he comes in,” Trescothick said. “He’ll talk the same way, manage in the same fashion, and debrief in the same way.”

India's Olympic Contingent Appoints First Chief Medical Officer

India’s Olympic Contingent Appoints First Chief Medical Officer

By July 29, 2024 0

India’s Olympic contingent has taken a significant step forward by appointing its first-ever chief medical officer, Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala. This move reflects the IOA’s commitment to enhancing medical support for its athletes.

Dr. Pardiwala, a renowned sports medicine expert, has played a crucial role in the recovery and rehabilitation of top athletes like Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bhumrah, Neeraj Chopra, and PV Sindhu. His expertise extends to injury management, sports nutrition, mental conditioning, and sleep optimization.

The medical team’s primary focus is injury management. Athletes often sustain injuries during high-intensity competitions, and the team ensures prompt assessment and treatment to minimize impact on performance. They also provide holistic care, addressing athletes’ nutritional needs, mental well-being, and recovery.

To facilitate this, Team India has established a dedicated recovery room within the Olympic Village, equipped with ice baths, sleep pods, cryotherapy, and other recovery equipment. Sports massage therapists are also available for both male and female athletes.

Despite the high demand for medical services, the team has maintained a smooth operation. This is attributed to the collaboration between the IOA’s 13-member team and 15 additional physios and strength and conditioning coaches who work with individual athletes and teams.

Dr. Pardiwala emphasizes the importance of trust and familiarity within the sports medicine community. He notes that the team’s long-standing relationships with athletes and other experts facilitate effective coordination and support.

Brett Lee Slams LSG for Mishandling Mayank Yadav's Injury

Brett Lee Slams LSG for Mishandling Mayank Yadav’s Injury

By May 2, 2024 0

Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has criticized the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) management and medical staff for mishandling Mayank Yadav’s injury. Lee believes that the young pacer was rushed back into action too soon after suffering abdominal soreness, leading to a recurrence of the injury.

Mayank, who had impressed with his express pace and two Man-of-the-Match awards in his first three IPL games, developed abdominal soreness during LSG’s match against Gujarat Titans on April 7. He returned to action in LSG’s win against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday but walked off the field without completing his fourth over after experiencing pain in the same area.

Lee, who took 310 wickets in 76 Tests for Australia, believes that Mayank’s initial injury would have required four to six weeks to heal, much more than the time period he spent on the sidelines.

“A side strain or whatever they’re calling it, normally takes at least four to six weeks to even come right,” Lee said. “We don’t know the depths of how big a strain it was but for somebody who is pushing the limits of his body by bowling 150 kmph, that’s not good management at all.”

Lee sympathized with Mayank, saying that he should have received the right advice. “The only person who has to pay this price is this poor young guy Mayank, who is just electric,” Lee said. “Everyone in the IPL has loved seeing what he’s brought… You wish he got the right advice, so he doesn’t have to go through and absorb this.”

Mayank’s injury is a major setback for LSG, who are currently in the top four of the IPL standings. It could also impact his chances of selection for India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Former India batter Suresh Raina believes that Mayank can learn from his experience and return stronger. “It was a fantastic gesture from Jasprit Bumrah to talk to the youngster,” Raina said. “He has so much experience. When (Mayank) meets him, he will learn so much from Bumrah’s words about looking after an injury.”

Mayank Yadav: A Diamond in the Rough, Cautions Ian Bishop

Mayank Yadav: A Diamond in the Rough, Cautions Ian Bishop

By April 19, 2024 0

Ian Bishop, the former West Indies fast bowler, has lauded Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) emerging pace sensation, Mayank Yadav, for his rare combination of pace and control. Bishop emphasized the importance of managing Mayank properly through the expertise of medical professionals, strength and conditioning coaches, and nutritionists.

Mayank made a stunning impact on IPL 2024 with his fiery pace during matches against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). In these encounters, he showcased his talent by claiming six wickets and earning the ‘Player of the Match’ award in both games. Consistently touching speeds of 150 kmph, Mayank’s exceptional control over line and length left spectators and pundits alike in awe.

Although currently sidelined due to injury, his impending return has garnered anticipation from the entire cricket fraternity. Bishop acknowledged Mayank’s extraordinary talent but cautioned against his injury history, emphasizing the importance of managing his body and ensuring adequate strengthening to prevent future setbacks.

Bishop pointed out that Australian skipper Pat Cummins, who was injury-prone as a youngster, struggled to deal with the stress of the game on his body. But over the years, he managed to build for himself an impressive career after years of working on his body and changing his technique. The former bowler said that it would be great if Mayank gets the same input that Cummins once had in his career, be it through LSG or the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Bishop also stressed the importance of young fast bowlers like Mayank getting to hear the right voices. He suggested that Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah should be made to interact frequently with upcoming pace bowlers, as he is a clear thinker and great communicator.

Bishop concluded by emphasizing the need for a more precise and determined approach to player development, especially when resources are available. He believes that supplementing on-field experience with knowledge and guidance from experienced players can help accelerate the learning curve and prevent injuries.
