Impressed with his yorker, MS Dhoni invites Sri Lankan teenage pacer to CSK nets Source : timesofindia The 17-year-old right-arm Sri Lankan pacer’s dream delivery has not only caught the attention of CSK skipper MS Dhoni but also reportedly earned him an invitation to bowl in the CSK nets in IPL 2024, which is allowing Dhoni to have a closer look at the young bowler from Jaffna. When Kugadas Mathulan bowled a lethal in-swinging yorker that swept the batsman off his feet, he wouldn’t have thought that the viral clip from the match between St. John’s College and Jaffna Central College will catch the attention of Chennai Super Kings’ iconic skipper MS Dhoni.

Nineteen-year-old Matheesha Pathirana dismissed Indian stars Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya playing for the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday night, finishing with figures of 2-24 from 3.1 overs. With a highly unusual bowling action that has been labelled “an even more extreme example of (Lasith) Malinga”, Pathirana’s debut came despite having played just two senior T20 matches previously. His action is undoubtedly like Malinga’s, but Chennai skipper Ms Dhoni says the comparisons to the Sri Lankan legend don’t end there. “He is an ...

A brief history of the Cricket World Cup – By Simon Burnton Source: The Guardian From its humble beginning in 1966, the tournament’s history is filled with English despair and southern hemisphere triumph Rod Marsh dives in front of first slip to dismiss Tony Greig during the World Cup match between Australian and England at Headingley in 1975. Photograph: Patrick Eagar via Getty Images 1966 In March 1966 Rothman’s and the influential agent Bagenal Harvey announce that a three-game “World Cup” will be held in September, to be contested by England, West Indies – that summer’s tourists – and an all-star Rest of the World XI to be led by the Australia captain, Bobby Simpson, with the remainder of the team chosen – obviously – by readers of the Radio Times. Sadly England’s capacity for World Cup fever is exhausted by the football version, and the three matches attract a combined audience ...
