Dewald Brevis' signing was in compliance with rules: CSK clarify after Ashwin's remarks spark controversy
Chennai Super Kings on Saturday issued clarification regarding the signing of Dewald Brevis midway through the IPL 2025 season, saying the signing process of the South African batter was in "complete compliance with the rules and regulations" of the league. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency A raging controversy was sparked as former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, currently in the CSK roster, hinted in his YouTube channel that the five-time IPL champions were willing to pay "extra" to avail Brevis' services. "Chennai Super Kings categorically clarifies that all actions taken by the franchise during the signing process of Dewald Brevis as a Replacement Player during TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 were in complete compliance with the rules and regulations of IPL," the CSK said in a statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They were so beautiful before; look at them now; number 10 will Surprise you Undo "In April, 2025, Dewald Brevis was signed for a league fee of INR 2.2 Cr as a replacement player for the injured Gurjapneet Singh, who was picked up at the IPL 2025 Player Auction held at Abadi AI Johar Arena, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for a price of INR 2.2 Cr," the statement further added. The IPL rules in vogue state that the signing of a replacement player should not exceed the price of the player he will be replacing on the roll. Live Events In that scenario, the originally unsold Brevis was paid Rs 2.2 crore by CSK, over and above his base price of Rs 75 lakh, to sign him on April 18. Gurjapneet Singh, the 26-year-old Tamil Nadu pacer, did not get a game in the previous season before an unspecified injury struck him down. Hence, the CSK maintained that Brevis was signed in full accordance with the IPL Player Regulations 2025-27, specifically clause 6.6 under 'Replacement Players' rule. "A replacement Player signed pursuant to either paragraph 6.1 or 6.2 can be recruited at a League Fee which shall not be more than the League Fee that would have been payable to the injured/unavailable Player for the relevant Season. "If a Replacement Player is recruited during a Season, the League Fee actually paid to him will be reduced to take account of the Franchisee's matches during the relevant Season which took place before he was registered and any other relevant deductions under the Player Contract," states the IPL rule. The controversy broke out when Ashwin said the CSK was ready to pay more to sign Brevis, who had cracked a brilliant hundred against Australia in a T20I match earlier this week, after a few other IPL teams' talks with the SA batter were hindered by the price. "I will tell you something about Brevis. He had a great time last IPL. A few teams left him because of the price. When he was supposed to be signed as a replacement, he was supposed to be signed at the base price. "But what happens is you talk to the agents and the player will say, if you give me X amount extra, I will come," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. "...And CSK were ready to pay him, hence he came. In the back half, the CSK combination was strong. They will go with Rs 30 crore in IPL 2026 mini auction," Ashwin added. It may be recalled that Ashwin is reportedly in talks with the Super Kings about his future in the franchise amid speculation that he might seek his release from the team. The IPL 2025 was a disappointing one for the senior spinner as he took only seven wickets from nine matches, averaging in excess of 40.

South Africa's Nedbank Sells Stake in Ecobank for $100 Million
(Bloomberg) -- Nedbank Group Ltd. agreed to sell its stake in Ecobank Transnational Inc. to a company controlled by the former chairman of the pan-African lender for $100 million. Johannesburg-based Nedbank will sell its 21.2% stake to Bosquet Investments, which is the private investment vehicle of Alain Nkontchou, the managing partner and co-founder of Enko Capital Management LLP and a former chairman of Ecobank, according to a regulatory filing on Friday. The sale of its stake in Togo-based Ecobank will mark the end of a 17-year strategic alliance that enabled Nedbank to expand its footprint beyond its home region. Ecobank's stock, which trade on the BRVM regional stock exchange in Ivory Coast, has plunged 75% over the past decade. 'We would prefer to own or control all of the operations that we're involved in,' Nedbank Chief Executive Officer Jason Quinn said in an interview on Bloomberg TV on Aug. 5. 'You can execute strategy much more deliberately when you own businesses.' The South African lender became Ecobank's largest shareholder in 2008 through a $500 million investment that was formalized into a partnership in 2014. The purchase gave Nedbank access to the West African bank's presence in 33 countries, including 32 across sub-Saharan Africa and one in France. Nedbank said its initial investment case had been negatively impacted by the deterioration in the economy of Nigeria — where Ecobank has a large operation — and the exit of various South African clients from the region, which has limited cross-sell opportunities. Synergies between the two businesses had not been forthcoming, it said. More stories like this are available on
