Sri Lanka Left Arm Spinner Rangana Herath to retire after first Test

2018-10-22T02:13:00.000-07:00

Sri Lanka's veteran left-arm spinner Rangana Herath will call it quits from the longest format of the game after the first Test against England at Galle - the same venue where he made his Test debut 19 years ago.

Herath is second on Sri Lanka's list of leading wicket-takers - behind Muttiah Muralitharan, who has 800 wickets. Among currently active bowlers, he has the third best tally - behind James Anderson [564] and Stuart Broad [433] - on the bowlers' list. Herath is already the most successful left-arm spinner in Test cricket, and with 430 wickets to his name ahead of the final game, he has the chance to go up to the seventh spot in the list of leading Test wicket takers - ahead of Richard Hadlee (431), Stuart Broad (432) and Kapil Dev (434).

Herath made his Test debut back in 1999 but was at the peak of his powers only after Sri Lanka's premier spinner Muttiah Muralitharan called time on his career. Of the 92 Tests Herath has played so far, 22 of them came in the period between his debut and July 2010 - the time when Muralitharan retired. Herath picked 71 of his wickets in this phase at an unflattering bowling average of 37.88.

But the numbers improved exponentially once there was a Muralitharan-shaped void in Sri Lanka's Test side. In eight years since the retirement, Herath has featured in 70 of the 81 Tests that Sri Lanka have played, and has picked 359 wickets at 25.98. The left-arm spinner benefitted hugely from being a very accurate bowler without trying too many different things, and came with the knack of bowling long spells to frustrate batsmen for hours together.

One of Herath's earliest heroics following Muralitharan's exit was inspiring Sri Lanka to their first-ever Test match victory in South Africa, in December 2011, by picking a match haul of 11 wickets. The form was carried forward into the new year and stayed with him for the entirety of the following 12 months as he emerged on top of the bowling charts in 2012 - with 60 Test wickets.

His finest hour as Sri Lanka's leader of the bowling pack came in the Colombo Test against Pakistan in 2014, when he picked as many as nine wickets in the first innings and followed it up with five in the second for a match-haul of 14 for 184. Pakistan eventually went on to be the opposition against whom Herath had the most success - picking 230 of his wickets against them. This feat also included a two-Test victory over them in their backyard in UAE last year, where Herath once again starred with 16 wickets in four innings.

Rangana Herath Hat Trick Video

Even as Herath's habit of consistently taking wickets from 2011 has carried on all the way through to 2018 - 352 wickets since then - fitness has been an area of concern. The 40-year-old missed the third Test against India at home last year with a bad back and has also had to grapple with knee injuries for a while now.

The Tests column in his career statistics will read 93 at the end of his career, seven short of the three-digit number that many aspire for. But, the late-blooming left-arm spinner was always being realistic about setting targets. In February this year, he played down the approaching milestone, by saying: "I am not looking at that far (100 Tests) to be honest. Having said that, it will be great if I can play 100 Tests, but the thing is when you set targets your commitments become too much."

That the 100-Test milestone will remain unachieved is in no way a blight on a fabulous career accentuated by persistence and grit. Come November first week, Galle will prepare to send-off another crowd favourite in style - who, with one more wicket to his name, will become just the second bowler after Muralitharan to pick 100 Test wickets at the venue.

PSL News : Nasir Jamshed's 10-year ban for spot-fixing upheld

2018-10-22T02:07:00.000-07:00

Nasir Jamshed's 10-year ban for his involvement in the spot-fixing row that rocked the PSL during the 2016-17 season was upheld by an independent adjudicator on Monday (October 21).

Justice (R) Mian Hamid Farooq, in his order, noted that the ban levied on Naseer Jamshed was "perfectly justified" and would continue to remain in place. However, the additional penalties imposed by the Anti-Corruption Tribunal related to: "inclusion of Nasir in the list of players to be avoided by cricketers and all stakeholders" and "not to be given an important role in the management or administration of cricket" have been "set aside" as they don't come under the jurisdiction of Article 6.2 of the PCB's Anti-Corruption Code.

Earlier in August, PCB's Anti-Corruption Tribunal had observed that he was guilty in relation to five of the seven breaches of the board's anti-corruption code. The tribunal also decided that alongside banning the cricketer from playing any form of cricket during the aforementioned period, a player who has violated the anti-corruption code should also be disqualified from taking up any administrative positions with regard to Pakistan cricket for life.

The PCB had termed Jamshed as the key figure in the scandal as he recruited the players on behalf of bookies for spot-fixing. "Our point was proved and accepted by the tribunal, and they found him guilty on multiple charges," PCB's lawyer Taffazul Rizvi told the reporters outside the PCB headquarters in Lahore.

"Even if he returns after rehabilitation, he is not allowed to be engaged in any cricket management role and will be kept him away from cricket. We also suggested his name be added in a list of persons mentioned in anti-corruption lectures who are to be avoided by the players. So this all ends here.

"There are some cases which don't make you happy despite you winning it. This is one such. Because a player has destroyed his career due to spot-fixing and failure to report approaches," he added.

In December 2017, Jamshed was also suspended for one year by the board after an anti-corruption tribunal noted he was guilty of "non-cooperation" in relation to the spot-fixing case. The ban meant that Jamshed couldn't play cricket till February 13, 2018 - exactly one year on from the time when he was initially suspended.

After his ban ended, the board had slapped him with seven violations of their anti-corruption code. Jamshed had replied by rejecting the charges against him in April. As a result, the PCB drafted a statement, saying that the chairman Najam Sethi had taken up the matter for resolution to a three-member anti-corruption tribunal.

Pune and Kochi New teams for IPL 2011

2010-03-22T04:56:00.000-07:00

Business conglomerate Sahara bagged Pune while little known consortium Rendezvous Sports World Limited clinched Kochi as the Indian Premier League, on Sunday, unveiled two new teams joining the cash-awash Twenty20 league from the 2011 season.
IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi said Sahara Adventure Sports Group made an identical $370 million bid for three cities, Ahmedabad, Nagpur and Pune.

"They made the highest bid for all three cities and were asked to choose one of the cities. Accordingly, Pune will be their home ground," Modi told reporters.

Rendezvous made the second highest bid, on Sunday, and their offer of $333.33 million was enough to land the Kochi franchise, Modi said.

"In all, five groups qualified for the bid. The bidding was extremely competitive and I hope they make good business," Modi said.

Interestingly, these two new franchises were sold for an amount which, when combined, is bigger than the worth of the original eight franchises put together.

Apart from the two successful bidders, other groups which took part in the bidding were Adani Groups, VC Digital Solution (Videocon) and a Pune consortium.

Sahara's bid for Pune was way better than what the Adani group ($315 million) or the Pune consortium ($261.3 million) had to offer.

Modi dismissed speculation that Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor had financial interest in the bid for Kochi franchise and said the minister's role was confined to "facilitating" the bid.

"Mr Tharoor was involved in facilitating and trying to get a team from Kochi to bid. He is an ardent fan of the game who wanted a team from Kochi and his role ends there," Modi said.

The cities in the fray were Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kanpur, Dharamsala, Vizag, Rajkot, Cuttack, Baroda, Kochi, Indore and Gwalior.

The Videocon group apparently had the backing of Bollywood superstars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor but they failed to bag a team.
