Basseterre, (St Kitts), Aug 28 (Ians) Veteran off-spinner Sunil Narine became the first cricketer to be shown a red card for over-rate breach in a Caribbean Premier League (Cpl) match for his team Trinbago Knight Riders (Tkr) against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
The ongoing Cpl 2023 saw the organisers introduce new penalties to tackle slow over rates, leading to games ending very late. It said, “if a fielding team starts their 18th over beyond the scheduled time, they would need to bring one extra fielder inside the thirty-yard circle.”
“If they were behind before the start of the 19th over as well, another fielder had to come in, making it just three outside the circle. If the fielding team is still behind before the start of the final over, they would be shown a red card, and be required to send a fielder of their choice off the field.”

Dharamsala, May 18 (Ians) While hailing Punjab Kings for taking the decision to retire out Atharva Taide during their 15-run loss to Delhi Capitals, former West Indies fast-bowler Ian Bishop believes that call could have come earlier in the innings.
Chasing 214 at the Hpca Stadium in Dharamshala, Punjab were at 128/3 and needed 86 runs in 30 balls, when they made a tactical move to retire out Taide, who made a 42-ball 55, in the 15th over, bringing an end to a 50-ball 78-run second-wicket partnership with Liam Livingstone, who would go on to make a scintillating 94 off 48 balls.
“The over before, I was getting ready to put on social media – retired out, but I was reluctant in case he did a Rahul Tewatia, and that kind of opprobrium being thrown back at me.”
“But I want to give them credit for actually making the decision, whoever made it, because it’s not an easy decision to make,...

New Delhi, May 17 (Ians) Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop commended Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami for his exceptional performance in Ipl 2023 and praised his ability to take wickets during the powerplay overs.
Bishop highlighted the significance of early breakthroughs in comparison to wickets taken towards the end of an innings, emphasising Shami’s effectiveness in getting crucial dismissals upfront.

Bishop hailed Shami’s contributions in breaking the opposition’s run chase and hailed him as an outstanding bowler, particularly in recent seasons.
Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop said, “He’s got 15 powerplay wickets. It tells you the value of wickets up front versus wickets at the back end.

New Delhi, Nov 14 (Ians) Krishnamachari Srikkanth, the former India cricketer and ex-chairman of the senior men’s selection committee, said if he was the current chief selector, he would appoint Hardik Pandya as the captain of the side till the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup and would get down to rebuilding the side from the upcoming three-match T20I series against New Zealand.
In the recently-concluded T20 World Cup in Australia, India entered the semifinals of the tournament by becoming table-toppers from Group 2, winning four out of their five matches.
But their quest of ending a nine-year wait for a World Cup trophy came to an abrupt halt with a crushing 10-wicket loss to eventual champions England in the semifinal at the Adelaide Oval, which led to India being criticised heavily for playing an outdated version of T20 cricket.

Guwahati, Oct 3 (Ians) The second T20I between India and South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati was an absolute run-fest, with an aggregate of 458 runs giving the capacity crowd their money’s worth.
But it was not just the sizzling knocks of Suryakumar Yadav, Kl Rahul and David Miller which made headlines from the match. There were two interruptions — one each in the first and second innings — which made waves on social media.
The first one, happened during India’s innings after South Africa inserted them into batting first. At the end of the seventh over, visuals of ground staff running quickly on the field with sticks and a bucket in hand were seen to remove a snake which was making its presence felt at the outfield.
Left-arm pace all-rounder Wayne Parnell, who was fielding at extra cover, was quick to spot the snake and alerted all on the field about it.

Mumbai, June 15 (Ians) Former West Indies pace bowler Ian Bishop feels India should go into the World Test Championship (Wtc) final against New Zealand with two spinners -- Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin -- as they both are dependable batsmen as well.
The Wtc final starts on June 18 in Southampton.
"I am going for the two spinners. Jadeja bats, Ashwin bats, and they are both excellent bowlers and in good form as well. So the balance of the attack for me will be three seamers and those two spinners," said the 53-year-old Bishop, who took 161 wickets in 43 Tests.
Explaining his selection, 53-year-old Bishop said he was very impressed by Mohammed Siraj's debut in Australia against the host where he picked 13 wickets in three matches and finished the series as the most successful bowler of the team. Bishop opined that Kohli and Co. would need the experience of Ishant Sharma.
