Adelaide, Aug 25 (Ians) Big-hitting batter Chris Lynn will feature in the Big Bash League (Bbl) after being signed up by Adelaide Strikers.
Lynn, 32, will be able to play in both the Bbl and UAE’s International League T20 (ILT20) competitions after reaching a compromise with Cricket Australia (CA).
Lynn, Bbl’s leading run-scorer, has signed an 11-match deal with the Adelaide Strikers after parting ways with the Brisbane Heat in May. He will be granted a ‘No Objection Certificate’ (Noc) following the Strikers’ clash against his old club at Adelaide Oval on January 14 to join the Adani-owned Gulf Giants franchise in the ILT20.
“Cricket Australia welcomes the Adelaide Strikers’ signing of Chris Lynn, the highest run-scorer in KFC Bbl history, for 11 out of 14 games in the upcoming KFC Bbl|12 season. He will be released from 20 January to participate in UAE’s ILT20 competition from that date,” said a CA spokesperson.

Sydney, Aug 13 (Ians) Though Chris Lynn has registered himself as a marquee player in the UAE’s ILT20, he will still need a No-objection Certificate (Noc) from Cricket Australia, a move for which many are doubtful considering that the country has their Big Bash League (Bbl) running at the same time. Lynn, one of the major stars of the Bbl, had to leave Brisbane Heat ahead of the next edition of the tournament.
Now, former Australia captain Ian Chappell has said that if he was in Lynn’s place and hadn’t got the Noc to play in ILT20 in the UAE, he would have taken Cricket Australia (CA) to court. Currently, Lynn neither has a contract with Cricket Australia nor with his state side Queensland.
“To me, you then go back to the World Series Cricket days, where they took the board to court over restraint of trade. Is it a restraint of trade?...

Dubai, Oct 17 (Ians/GloFans) Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (Mi) would look to enhace their chances of sealing a playoff berth with a win when they play a deflated Kings XI Punjab (Kxip) in the 36th game of the 13th Indian Premier League (Ipl) here on Sunday.
Despite being in red hot form, the Rohit Sharma-led Mi wouldn't take their opponents lightly on Sunday, as Kxip is motivated by the return of hard-hitting Chris Gayle.
While Mi are the current joint toppers with 12 points, Kxip languish at the bottom of the eight-team standings and another defeat will make their task to qualify very difficult.
After missing most of the first-half games, self-proclaimed 'Universe Boss' Gayle made a decent start with a 45-ball 53 against Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) in the previous game. The Kxip think-tank will hope Gayle to replicate the show along with the in-form opener Mayank Agarwal and skipper Kl Rahul,...

New Delhi, Oct 17 (Ians) Mumbai Indians (Mi) opener Quinton de Kock has found his feet with the bat in the last four matches of the Ipl and his importance is underlined by the fact that the four-time champions have won five games on the trot thus far.
de Kock's latest knock earned him his second consecutive Player of the Match award after the 27-year-old South African scored an unbeaten 78 to lead Mi to a facile eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday.
Commentators, including his former South African teammate Jp Duminy, were gushing over his shots on the leg side, something that he said was the best he had in his armoury.
"I like to play it and it's nice when it comes off. It's all about keeping my balance, I don't work too much on the cross-bat shots, it's important to stay in line while playing those," he...

Abu Dhabi, Oct 15 (Ians/GloFans) Reigning champions Mumbai Indians (Mi) are in red hot form and the Rohit Sharma-led side will aim to consolidate their position on the Indian Premier League (Ipl) points table when they clash with an inconsistent Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in their return fixture on Friday.
The last time the two sides met in the current season, Mi had thrashed Kkr by 49 runs at the same venue, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
With their consistent performances, Mi have emerged as one of the favorites of this year's title. The entire team has clicked as a unit, with both the bowlers and batsmen stepping up whenever the situation demanded.
While they have in-form top-order comprising skipper Rohit and opener Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have provided stability to their side in the middle-order. The Mi batters are at their peak and can rip apart the best of bowling attacks.

New Delhi, Oct 13 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings' (Csk) spinner Imran Tahir, who won the Purple Cap last season with 26 wickets but is yet to feature in a match this year, is one of the key players available for mid-season transfer.
With a spate of injuries and imbalance in various sides in the first half, there is a possibility that some of the franchises who are seeking changes in their team, may use the option of mid-season transfer which began on Tuesday. At this stage all teams have played half of their league phase games, i.e. seven.
Leg-spinner Tahir had taken 26 wickets in 17 matches last season. It is a surprise that he or Mitchell Santner haven't featured despite none of the Csk spinners have done really well. Piyush Chawla, Csk's most successful spinner, has conceded close to nine runs per over.
Tahir could invite interest from one of Kolkata Knight...
