Australia's Owen out of rest of white-ball series after Rabada blow
MELBOURNE, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Australia all-rounder Mitchell Owen has been ruled out for the remainder of the white-ball series against South Africa due to a concussion after being struck on the helmet by Kagiso Rabada. Cricket Australia (CA) said on Thursday the Tasmanian passed a sideline assessment during the 53-run defeat in the second T20I in Darwin on Tuesday but later reported concussion symptoms. His mandatory 12-day stand-down period will see him miss the series decider in Cairns on Saturday and also a potential debut in the following ODI series. Batter Matt Short and fast bowler Lance Morris will also miss the ODI series with side and back injuries respectively. They were replaced in the squad by all-rounder Aaron Hardie and slow bowler Matthew Kuhnemann. Morris reported lower back soreness and has returned to Perth for further assessment, CA said. The T20I series is tied at 1-1, with Australia winning the first match in Darwin by 17 runs.

Moeen, Pooran & David among stars set to play in CPL
Former England internationals Moeen Ali and Alex Hales are among the stars set to play in the 13th edition of the Caribbean Premier League, after being signed in the draft in July. Moeen, who was part of the England teams that won the 2019 50-over World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup, will link up with Guyana Amazon Warriors for this year's tournament. He will be joined by 46-year-old South African Imran Tahir, who will captain the side, but New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips is no longer part of their squad. Hales, who holds the record for being the first English batter to score a T20I century, was snapped up by four-time winners Trinbago Knight Riders. The 36-year-old features in a star-studded squad alongside big hitters Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell. Former West Indies captain Pollard will lead Trinbago Knight Riders, who have appointed Dwayne Bravo as their new head Namibia all-rounder David Wiese will captain Saint Lucia Kings, bringing in a wealth of T20 experience from more than 400 appearances in the format. Australia's Tim David and South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi will also represent the reigning champions, who already had Alzarri Joseph and Roston Chase on their big names include South Africa's Quinton de Kock (Barbados Royals), Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan, Jayden Seales (both Antigua & Barbuda Falcons), plus Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqi (St Kitts & Nevis Patriots).South Africa's Faf du Plessis, who was part of the winning squad in 2024, misses out on this year's tournament after undergoing groin surgery.
