IPL chairman Arun Dhumal wants cricket to revolve around its big star
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Mumbai: It may be time for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to rethink its calendar and give T20 leagues precedence over bilateral series , which are losing steam with fans and sponsors alike, Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arun Dhumal has said."Cricket is shifting its flavour towards franchise-based formats. If that is the case, we have to prepare ourselves for that situation," Dhumal told ET in an interaction. "So, if that has to happen, the entire scheduling needs to be aligned around these T20 leagues-be it the IPL, Big Bash League, The Hundred, SA20, MLC, or ILT20. At some point, we may need to sit around the table with all stakeholders and decide what should be prioritised."The T20 format has not only reignited interest in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and Test matches but has also played a key role in expanding cricket's footprint to emerging markets such as the United States and Europe, Dhumal noted."Based on what weather conditions work best for each country, you schedule your leagues accordingly and then plan the bilateral series around them," he the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Future Tours Programme (FTP) is structured around bilateral Tests, ODIs, and ICC events, with the IPL being the only T20 league to have a dedicated are multiple T20 leagues including Australia's Big Bash League, South Africa's SA20, the England and Wales Cricket Board's The Hundred, the UAE's International League T20, and the Caribbean Premier League. Most of these leagues are inspired by the IPL and have IPL team owners-such as Reliance , GMR, and Sun TV Network-owning teams."The IPL is the number one 'Make in India' property post-Independence," Dhumal Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which owns the IPL, sold the league's media rights for ₹48,390 crore for 2023-27 proposed expansion of IPL to an 84-match format will depend on the availability of a suitable window in the international calendar, Dhumal said. For IPL 2025, the tournament has retained the 74-match format to manage player workload and accommodate a packed FTP schedule."There is no point in adding new teams to the IPL when we are not yet able to optimise the existing structure with 10 teams," he to Dhumal, IPL's current April-May window is becoming tricky to manage due to shifting weather patterns-the Southwest monsoon arrived almost two weeks early this year. But advancing the event is also challenging as the FTP has been finalised until 2027 and media rights deals have already been signed based on that is the driver of the global cricket economy, with the ICC generating over 70% of its revenue from the Indian IPL chairman noted that other ICC member boards are struggling to sell media rights for bilateral series and have been requesting the BCCI to play such series to help boost their said IPL viewership continues to remain strong on TV and digital platforms, despite a one-week suspension caused by the India-Pakistan conflict, which disrupted the tournament's momentum.

Australia's two-time World Cup champion Maxwell quits ODIs
Two-time World Cup champion Glenn Maxwell is retiring from One-Day Internationals (ODIs) cricket in a bid to play a role in Australia's push for a Twenty20 world title next year. Maxwell has retired from ODI to focus on next year's T20 World Cup, the country's cricket board said on Monday. Maxwell took the decision to prioritise his preparation for the T20 World Cup, to be held in India and Sri Lanka, and his commitment to franchise leagues, Cricket Australia (CA) said in a statement. "I think back to right at the start I was picked ahead of my time and out of the blue. I was just proud just to be playing a couple of games for Australia. I thought I was just going to have that," the two-time World Cup winner said in the statement. "Since then, I have been able to go through the up and downs of being dropped, being brought back, playing in a few World Cups and being a part of some great teams." The 36-year-old has played 149 ODIs for Australia, scoring 3,990 runs at a strike rate of 126.7 - second only to Andre Russell's 130.22. Maxwell's 201 not out from 128 balls while battling cramps in a 2023 World Cup match against Afghanistan is considered the greatest knock in this format. Maxwell, who played the last of his seven tests in 2017, told the Final Word Podcast that the toll of 50-overs cricket, especially after a leg injury he suffered in 2022, affected his fielding ability during the Champions Trophy earlier this year. "I felt like I was letting the team down a little bit with how (the) body was reacting to the conditions," he said. "I had a good chat with (chairman of selectors) George Bailey and I asked him what his thoughts were going forward," he told the Final Word Podcast. "We talked about the 2027 World Cup and I said to him 'I don't think I am going to make that, it's time to start planning for people in my position to have a crack at it and make the position their own'." CA chief executive Todd Greenberg congratulated Maxwell for "one of the most exciting and influential one day international careers in the format's history." "Glenn's ballistic batting has lit up the cricket world and been one of the cornerstones of Australia's continued success in the 50 over game, including his heroic role in the 2023 World Cup triumph," Greenberg said.

England all-rounder Jamie Overton ruled out of West Indies series due to broken finger
New Delhi [India] May 31 (ANI): England all-rounder Jamie Overton has been ruled out of the remaining One-Day Internationals and the Vitality IT20s against the West Indies due to a broken right little finger. Overton sustained the injury during England's first ODI against the West Indies at Edgbaston on Thursday, according to a report from ESPNcricinfo. Overton, 31, suffered the injury after bowling his second ball of England's eventual 238-run win, as he dropped a fast-travelling return catch off Keacy Carty and immediately sprinted off the field for treatment. Jacob Bethell completed Overton's over, though he did return to the field later in the innings, and claimed three late wickets to finish with his best figures in ODIs of 3 for 22 in 5.2 overs. During his spell of 5 overs, he removed Roston Chase and Matthew Forde with short-pitched deliveries and deceived Gudakesh Motie with a slower ball. He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team, and no replacement will be added to the ODI squad in place of Overton. The Lancashire left-arm seamer Matthew Potts and Luke Wood are the reserve quicks in contention, while the left-arm spinner Tom Hartley could also come into consideration. The second of the three ODIs takes place in Cardiff on Sunday, with the series concluding at the Kia Oval on Tuesday before the first T20I gets underway in Chester-le-Street on Friday. England Full Squad: Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, Joe Root, Harry Brook(c), Jos Buttler(w), Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, Brydon Carse, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Luke Wood, Tom Banton, Matthew Potts, Tom Hartley West Indies Full Squad: Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope(w/c), Amir Jangoo, Justin Greaves, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Jediah Blades, Jewel Andrew, Jayden Seales, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Shimron Hetmyer.
