IPL's new bat testing rule draws mixed reactions from players
LONDON: The Indian Premier League's new rule requiring bat checks before batsmen take guard has sparked mixed reactions among players. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport While aggressive batting is influenced not just by customized bats, but also by technique and strength, the new protocol has led to animated discussions between players and umpires — and to some players reluctantly parting with their preferred match bats. Previously, officials conducted bat inspections on the eve of matches. However, concerns arose when players occasionally appeared with a different bat on match day. Now, umpires are using a triangle-shaped plastic gauge to inspect bats on the field. The gauge ensures that the bat dimensions comply with regulations: A maximum depth of 2.68 inches, width of 4.33 inches and edge thickness of 1.61 inches. The curve on the lower non-hitting side must not exceed 0.20 inches. Several players have already encountered issues under the new system. Kolkata Knight Riders' Sunil Narine and Anrich Nortje both failed the bat gauge test, while umpires took additional time to approve the bats of Andre Russell and Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag. The question now is whether the rule change will help strike a better balance between bat and ball in the high-scoring era of T20 cricket. South African pacer Kagiso Rabada, who plays for Gujarat Titans, had previously voiced concern about the oversized bats used in the IPL, claiming they made it possible for batters to even dispatch yorkers for sixes. 'It's not just about the bats, it's the power, too,' he said. Swapnil Asnodkar, a former Rajasthan Royals player who witnessed the power-hitting prowess of legends like Shane Watson, Matthew Hayden, Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum, believes that bats alone are not responsible for the surge in six-hitting. 'The game has gone to a different level with range and power-hitting. The rule must have been framed after considering certain things. It's always fair to maintain a balance between the bat and the ball,' he told 'It is also up to individuals. You cannot rule out the special ability of a batter. Some can time it, while some can muscle it. It depends on their bodies also. We have seen how Sourav Ganguly used to hit sixes. With players like Russell, it is all about power,' added Asnodkar, who was part of Rajasthan Royals' title-winning side in the inaugural IPL season. Now a certified under-19 coach at the Board of Control for Cricket in India's National Cricket Academy, Asnodkar pointed to a shift in training methods over the years. 'Correct practice matters a lot. Earlier, we were taught not to hit in the air, but the trend has changed. As players develop, they naturally acquire the habit of hitting sixes. Practicing correctly enhances their skills,' he said, recalling Hayden's famous Mongoose bat and Gayle's characteristically 'heavy' willow. Amandeep Singh Kohar, managing director of Hound Cricket Gears, said that manufacturers continued to follow International Cricket Council guidelines and that no new directive has been issued specifically for the IPL. 'We follow ICC guidelines. I have written down all the points needed to fulfill the manufacturing mark. There are too many points, and we are trying to follow all of them,' he said. Former T20 stars like Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo have used bats manufactured by Hound. The company also produces special edition willows named after Bravo, Narine and Akeal Hosein. also contacted Jatin Sareen, managing director of Sareen Sports, the bat brand used by Narine and Parag, but he declined to comment.

Canadian Manganese Announces Delay in Filing Year End Audited Financial Statements, Issuance of Cease Trade-Order
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2025) - Canadian Manganese Company Inc. (CBOE CA: CDMN) ("CDMN" or the " Company") announces a delay in the filing of its audited consolidated financial statements, its management's discussion and analysis, chief executive officer and chief financial officer certificates, and its annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Required Filings"), which were to be filed by March 31, 2025. The filing delay results from the implications of the delayed closing of its previously announced royalty financing (refer to news release dated November 15, 2024) and the requirement to consolidate the financial statements of the Company's non-wholly owned subsidiary Mongoose Mining Ltd. ("Mongoose"), as described in further detail below. The Company's consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of its non-wholly owned subsidiary Mongoose, whose financial statements also need to be separately audited. The separate audits of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and Mongoose for the year ended December 31, 2024 commenced late due to a delay by the Company and Mongoose in paying their respective auditor's fees from the previous year, which was impacted by the ongoing delay in closing the previously announced royalty financing. Although the arrears payments have now been made by the Company and Mongoose from the proceeds of director loans and the current year's audits are well underway, the auditor (McGovern Hurley LLP) advised the Company that it was not able to complete both audits by the Company's filing deadline of March 31, 2025. There are no disagreements between the Company or Mongoose and their auditor. The Company and Mongoose are currently working diligently to finalise the audits of their respective annual consolidated financial statements at the earliest possible date. The Company currently expects to be in a position to file its Required Filings by the end of April 2025. ISSUANCE OF CEASE-TRADE ORDER As a result of the Company's failure to file the Required Filings by March 31, 2025, the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") issued a failure-to-file cease trade order (the "FFCTO") to the Company on April 4, 2025. The FFCTO prohibits the trading by any person of any securities of the Company in each jurisdiction in Canada in which the Company is a reporting issuer, for as long as the FFCTO remains in effect, subject to the following exception. The FFCTO provides an exception for beneficial securityholders of the Company who are not currently (and who were not as of April 4, 2025) insiders or control persons of the Company and who sell securities of the Company acquired before April 4, 2025 if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the sale is made through a "foreign organized regulated market", as defined in section 1.1 of the Universal Market Integrity Rules of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization; and (b) the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction of Canada in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The OSC has informed the Company that if the default is remedied within 90 days of the date of the FFCTO, including any annual or interim financial statements, MD&A and certifications that subsequently became due, the filing of the Required Filings will constitute the application to revoke the FFCTO.

Flagler deputies allege woman stole bicycle while canvassing for congressional candidate
An Orlando woman was arrested Friday on burglary and theft charges in Palm Coast, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office alleges, while distributing campaign flyers for a candidate running for the April 1 special congressional election. Arlecia Darnae Brown, 35, of Orlando, told Flagler investigators she was "currently employed by the Josh Weil campaign and paid to solicit material throughout Palm Coast," according to an arrest report. Weil, a Democrat, is seeking the open seat in Florida's 6th District that was left vacant when Congressman Michael Waltz resigned to become national security adviser. The district sprawls across Flagler and Putnam counties, also taking in parts of Volusia, St. Johns, Lake and Marion counties. The Weil campaign has not yet responded to attempts seeking to confirm that Brown was a paid staffer. This story will be updated if a response is provided. One of Weil's opponents, Republican state Sen. Randy Fine, pounced on Monday, noting Brown's criminal history, which includes three stints in the Florida Department of Corrections, including robbery and aggravated assault. 'Dangerous felons are being paid to stalk homes,' Fine said in an interview Monday afternoon. 'Voters need to know this is dangerous.' Fine questioned whether the Weil campaign did background checks on its canvassers. 'There's only two outcomes here. One is they don't do background checks on the people they hire, or they do and they don't care," he said. "There is not a good explanation. This is a massive political scandal." Sheriff's deputies first took a stolen bicycle report on Thursday. Victims said someone had taken a black Mongoose bicycle with brown wheels from a garage, according to the arrest report. The following day, Flagler County sheriff's deputies responded to a "suspicious person" call on London Drive and found a bicycle that matched the description of the missing Mongoose, the report states The "male" matching the original suspect's description was spotted down the block soliciting for a political candidate. The sheriff's report notes that while Brown was born a female, she "currently has facial hair and other features that were obviously associated with being a male." Brown is facing seven counts, including burglary while traveling outside county of residence, burglary of an occupied dwelling, felony petit theft and possession of burglary tools. She was also charged with two counts of unauthorized use/possession of a driver's license and home solicitation without a permit. She was being held in the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on $67,500 bond, and is scheduled for an arraignment on April 8. 'This is a perfect example of a crime of opportunity," Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release. "I encourage all residents to stay vigilant, lock their doors, and report suspicious activity to law enforcement immediately.' Staly commended the detective work and "concerned citizens" who saw something and said something.
