Stoinis backs private investment in BBL, keeps focus firm on playing 2026 T20 WC
New Delhi: Australia's seam-bowling all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has backed private investment to happen in the eight Big Bash League (BBL) teams, saying the model brought in by Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises could benefit Australian cricket. At the same time, he added that his focus is firm on playing in next year's T20 World Cup. This year, owners of IPL franchises Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals bought investment stakes in The Hundred teams' Oval Invincibles, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave. Recently, Cricket Australia said it is open to the introduction of private ownership of teams in the BBL leagues and is currently studying recommendations sent in by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). "Thinking about the IPL owners and what they've done with the IPL, you want people that have got a track record of building something that's very good. If they do that, it's great for them, but it's also great for English cricket or for Australian cricket… It's a pretty clear path to me as to where most of cricket's going," Stoinis was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo on Thursday. Stoinis is currently playing for Trent Rockets in The Hundred. The all-rounder has retired from ODIs but remains available for T20I selection. His absence from Australia's squad for the ongoing series against South Africa stems from talks he initiated earlier this year with Australia coach Andrew McDonald and chief selector George Bailey. "The nature of it is that you can't select yourself in an Australian jersey, but you can sign a contract to come and play in the Hundred. When this opportunity came up, I spoke to Cricket Australia, I spoke to Ron (McDonald) and we made a plan around that, really… When you're planning it in advance, that makes it easier," he added. With Bailey confirming last week that Stoinis will be 'firmly in the mix' for the T20 World Cup, Stoinis stated, "We are very lucky. We do it very well in Australia. The relationships that I've got with both Ron and Bails means you just have those conversations pretty openly." Stoinis signed off by admitting it felt 'weird' watching Australia play in the T20Is from afar but insisted he is content with his choices. "You share a few messages after the games and have a laugh... They say playing for your country should be the best time of your life, and for me it has been. But I don't feel like it's done yet."

R Ashwin explains why Sanju Samson's CSK trade will not work out this time, ‘Chennai don't believe in…'
The Sanju Samson IPL 2025 transfer/trade continues to spur interest with latest repots intending that the Rajasthan Royals have indeed begun negotiations with multiple franchises after the Kerala batter had express his intention to leave the side. The Rajasthan skipper has since been closely associated with a move to Chennai Super Kings, with the five-time champions expressing interest in a transfer. The Indian Express had previously reported that after the conclusion of the IPL, Samson even met with the CSK management and head coach Stephen Fleming during the Major League Cricket season in US. Chennai were open to the idea of bringing the 30-year-old to Chepauk through a trade deal via cash. But it has hit a roadblock, with Rajasthan preferring an exchange of two players from Chennai. The five-time champions as a CSK policy have traded players with other franchises. When they bought Robin Uthappa ahead of the 2021 season from Rajasthan it was an all-cash deal. Samson's former RR teammate R Ashwin, who is also understood to have expressed his interest to leave the CSK franchise, explained that Samson's move to Chepauk may not come to fruition ahead of the 2026 IPL season. 'Why the CSK-RR trade won't work is because if Sanju is traded to CSK, and RR then try to trade with other teams, they're unlikely to get valuable players in return. For example, if RR want a spinner like Ravi Bishnoi and approach LSG, the problem is that if LSG acquire Sanju and give away Bishnoi, they also have to manage the remaining purse required to retain Sanju — which becomes LSG's responsibility,' Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. Ashwin further explained that Chennai do not generally incline towards trading players and will not certainly give away players worth Rs 18 crore to match a Samson deal. 'CSK generally don't believe in trading. They aren't going to trade players like Ravindra Jadeja or Shivam Dube. So, in all likelihood, Sanju coming to CSK is bleak, for the reasons I've explained. RR don't have much to gain from this kind of trade,' said Ashwin on his Youtube Channel.

Saaniya Chandhok net worth: Arjun Tendulkar's fiancee comes from a wealthy business family in Mumbai
Arjun Tendulkar, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's son, is now engaged to Saaniya Chandhok. Earlier this week, they had a private ceremony with close ones, according to multiple media publications. The families kept it low-key. When Sachin Tendulkar got engaged to Anjali Mehta, he was 19 years old. He was 22 when he got married to her after dating her for about five years. The couple tied the knot on May 24, 1995. Saaniya Chandhok belongs to a wealthy business family in Mumbai with strong interests in food and hospitality. She completed her schooling at the Cathedral & John Connon School in Mumbai and graduated with a degree in Business Management from the London School of Economics (LSE) in 2020. She also holds a certification as a veterinary technician from the Worldwide Veterinary Service (WVS), obtained in 2024, according to CNBC TV18. She is also the director and partner at Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP, a premium pet care venture she founded in Mumbai. This business makes around ₹ 90 lakh annually, according to NDTV India. Saaniya is the granddaughter of industrialist Ravi Ghai, whose empire includes the InterContinental Marine Drive Hotel and the Brooklyn Creamery, which manages Baskin-Robbins' India Operations. The family's businesses, Graviss Foods, earned ₹ 624 crore in 2023-24, marking a 20% growth from the previous year, according to ABP Live. Saaniya was earlier seen with Sara Tendulkar during her trip to Jaipur. Check their pics: Saaniya Chandhok's personal net worth remains undisclosed. However, her family runs a multi-billion-dollar business empire. The InterContinental hotel group alone is valued at around $18.43 billion ( ₹ 161 crore). Arjun Tendulkar's net worth is estimated at about ₹ 22 crore, as per media reports. He debuted in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023 for the Mumbai Indians, which bought him for ₹ 20 lakh in 2021 and later retained him for ₹ 30 lakh a season. His total IPL earnings should be around ₹ 1.2– ₹ 1.4 crore so far. Playing for Goa in tournaments like the Ranji Trophy reportedly earns him about ₹ 10 lakh annually.
