Cricket Australia (CA) has unveiled the central contracts for the 2024-2025 season, awarding new deals to 23 players. However, the notable absence of veteran all-rounder Marcus Stoinis stands out as the biggest omission from the upcoming season’s contracts.

Marcus Stoinis’ absence

Stoinis, who recently dealt with injuries, was the part of the Australia‘s triumph in the ODI World Cup 2023 held in India. Nevertheless, his performance in the tournament was underwhelming, tallying only 97 runs and four wickets across six matches. Despite this, Stoinis remains in contention for a spot in Australia’s potential squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, slated to occur in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA) in June. But he is not among the players listed in the central contra?cts, alongside several other notable names.

Notable omissions and new talents

Apart from Stoinis, notable players like all-rounder Ashton Agar, opener Marcus Harris, pacer Michael Neser and the recently-retired David Warner are also left out of Cricket Australia’s list of central contracts. Instead, the board decided to extend new deals to a handful of promising new talents.

Further, Matt Short and Aaron Hardie are granted fresh contracts subsequent to their promotion to the contract roster earlier in the season. Alongside them, fast bowler Nathan Ellis also received a renewed deal, with Xavier Bartlett rounding out the list as the newest addition.

George Bailey’s confidence

Cricket Australia’s selection chair, George Bailey, expressed confidence in the players awarded new contracts, af?firming their potential for enduring international careers. He undersc??ored the rationale behind extending contracts to these emerging talents, emphasizing their promising future in the cricketing arena.

“Matt, Aaron and Xavier have been extremely impressive in the early stages of their international careers. Their performances and the way they have embraced the international stage have been exciting to watch. The panel believes they have strong futures and deserve their contracts as they work towards striving to become regulars in the Australian setup,” Bailey was quoted as saying by Cricket.com.au

Cricket Australia’s centrally contracted men’s players for 2024-25:

Sean Abbott, Xavier Barlett, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Lance Morr??is, Todd Murphy, Jhye Richardson, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, A??dam Zampa.

As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 approaches, all the teams are busy preparing strategies for the world’s most significant cricket league. The impact player rule introduced last year provided teams ??with good options to manage talents in the squad, and they will now once aga??in be looking to use this to their advantage according to the situation in the upcoming event.

What is impact player rule?

Whi?le the rule might look like a provision for substitutin??g players mid-match, it comes with certain restrictions and guidelines. Notably, an overseas player can only be brought on as a substitute if the teams don’t feature four foreigners in their playing 11; otherwise, only Indian players can come in as an impact player. Additionally, an impact player can be introduced into the game before the start of the innings or after the completion of an over. He also needs to be called before the 14th over in an inning.

One player from each team who could impress as impact player

As the IPL 2024 comes closer, fans are curious to know about players who could be a game-changer for the various 10 teams as impact players in the league. On that note, here is o??ne player from each team who could impress as an impact player:

CSK – Sameer Rizvi

Chennai Super King’s new recruit Sameer Rizvi can be the perfect choice for an impact player in chasing sit??uations for CSK. The Indian power-hitter is known for his six-hitting abilities and could cross the boundary line with flair. Sameer had a stellar UPT20 league last year and amassed 455 runs in just nine innings for Kanpur Superstars. He can be a dark horse and a game-changer for CSK in tough? situations.

RCB – Vyshak Vijaykumar

Vijay Kumar Vishak could be an ideal impact player for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2024. His handy bowling abilities could be used by RCB during bowling to provide an additional option to their unit. Vyshak had a decent last year season where he picked nine wickets in seven games and even appeared as an impact play?er on numerous occasi??ons.

MI – Akash Madhwal

Akash Madhwal had an impressive outing for Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2023 and managed to pick 14 wickets in just eight games with best figures of 5/5. Now as Mumbai will see the return of Jasprit Bumrah who missed last year’s IPL, Madhwal can complement the side’s formidable bowling unit as an impact player during MI’s second innings.

SRH – Mayank Markande

Mayank Markande picked 12 wickets for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 10 games last yea?r. With a huge pool of talented players, Mayank might not be able to feature in the initial eleven of the Hyderabad-based side, but he could definitely weave his magic with spin as an impact player for the side.

GT – Sai Sudharsan

Sai Sudharsan was one of the two impact player substitutions used in the first match of IPL 2023 last year. He had a stel??lar campaign t?hroughout IPL 2023 and scored 362 runs for the side in just eight matches.

KKR – Suyash Sharma

Suyash Sharma last year turned out to be a dark horse for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and troubled even t?he best of batters, picking 10 wickets in 11 matches. He played multiple matches as an impact player and left a memorable mark with his performance.? He will once again be expected to do the same for his side.

LSG – Prerak Mankad

Prerak scored 93 runs in last year’s IPL for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in five games at an average of 31. He can be used as an extra batting option for the team in run chases. Prerak has the ability to build innings and ?switch ge??ars in no time.

PBKS – Harpreet Brar

Harpreet Brar picked nine wickets for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in 13 games last year. The team might look to use Harpreet strategically this year. He could be an ideal choice as an impact player, replac?ing any batter while the side is defending the target.

RR – Sandeep Sharma

With a knack for picking crucial wickets, Sandeep Sharma‘s ability to excel in the death overs makes him a valuable asset for Rajasthan Royals (RR), especially while defending a total. His performance in IPL 2023, where he picked up 10 wickets, underscores his capability to tilt the match in his team’s favor during crucial phases.

DC – Jhye Richardson

Delhi Capitals (DC) might look to use Australia’s Jhye Richardson as the impact player. With international experience, he can add sharpness to DC’s bowling lineup during the second innings by replacing any specialist batter.

The unexpected withdrawal of England’s Harry Brook, a key player in Delhi Capitals’ (DC) squad, just days before the commencement of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, has left the franchise grappling with a sudden setback. The hard-hitting middle-order batter’s absence creates a void in the team, prompting Delhi to urgently seek a replacement and strategize to fill the gap left by Brook’s exit.

Harry Brook’s IPL 2023 journey

Brook, known for his crucial role in the Bazball style of play under the management of Ben Stokes and Brandon McCullum for the England team, faced an underwhelming stint in the IPL last year. Despite being acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a substantial sum of INR 13.25 crore in the 2023 season, Brook failed to m??ake a substantial impact, managing only 190 runs at an average of 21. This lackluster performance led to his release by the franchise before the auction, where Delhi secured him for Rs 4 crore.

Top 3 contenders to replace Harry Brook in Delhi Capitals’ squad for IPL 2024:

1. Colin Munro (Base Price: Rs 1.5 crores)

• Colin Munro, the explosive New Zealand batter, epitomizes power-hitting prowess and adaptability in T20 cricket. Renowned for his aggressive approach at the top of the order, Munro has consistently delivered impactful performances in various T20 leagues globally.
• His ability to dominate bowlers from the outset and seamlessly switch between gears makes him a formidable force in the shortest format. With a wealth of experience in franchise cricket, Munro’s potential inclusion not only adds brute force to the Delhi batting lineup but also a seasoned campaigner capable of influencing crucial moments. Interestingly, Munro represented the Delhi-based franchise in the 2018 edition.
• In the ongoing PSL 2024, representing Islamabad United, Munro has been in remarkable touch, amassing 309 runs at an average of 34.33 and a strike rate around 140, including 12 fours and 32 maximums.

2. Rassie van der Dussen (Base Price: Rs 2 crores)

• South African batter Rassie van der Dussen brings a blend of solidity and aggression to the T20 arena. Recognized for his ability to anchor an inning with calculated stroke play, van der Dussen is equally adept at accelerating the scoring rate when required.
• His extensive experience in T20 leagues, coupled with a proven track record in international cricket, positions him as a dependable middle-order option. Van der Dussen’s knack for pacing innings and thriving under pressure could make him an asset in the middle-order for Delhi, providing stability and dynamism.
• Currently, in the PSL 2024, Van der Dussen is shining as the third-highest run-scorer in the tournament with 366 runs, boasting an impressive average of 72 and a destructive strike rate of 155, which includes a century.

3. Kwena Maphaka (Base Price: Rs 20 lakh)

• Kwena Maphaka, a left arm pacer, has emerged as a standout performer in the U-19 World Cup 2024, catching the eye with his impressive performances. The 17-year-old made headlines with a fiery spell against West Indies U-19 on the opening day and has continued to shine ever since.
• With 21 wickets at an average of 9.71, including three five-wicket hauls, Maphaka has showcased his talent with both the new ball and at the death. His ability to control yorkers adds to his versatility as a bowler. He was further named as the Player of the Tournament.
• While he is still young and has much to learn, Delhi could consider recruiting him as a long-term investment. With Anrich Nortje returning from a lengthy break and Lungi Ngidi been ruled out and also uncertainty surrounding the fitness of other bowlers like Jhye Richardson, Maphaka could serve as an ideal backup option, offering similar attributes and value to the team

Mumbai Indians (MI) have announced the replacement of their fast bowler Jhye Richardson for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).

Richardson, who was roped in by the five-time champions ahead of the tournament, sustained a hamstring injury, and as a result, he was ruled out of the cash-rich league’s 16th season.

Mumbai have picked Riley Meredith, another skilful fast bowler from Australia, to replace Richardson in their squad for INR 1.5 crores. Notably, Meredith has already played in 5 T20I matches for Australia, where he has shown his potential by picking up eight wickets, including a three-wicket haul. Meredith was in exceptional form in the previous edition of the Big Bash League (BBL), where he bagged 21 wickets in 14 matches for Hobart Hurricanes.

When it comes to the lucrative tournament, he has previously represented the Punjab Kings (PBKS) as well as the Mumbai, which will make his transition to the MI setup smoother. There is no denying that Meredith will add depth and quality to Mumbai’s fast-bowling attack spearheaded by Jofra Archer.

“Mumbai Indians (MI) on Wednesday named Riley Meredith as a replacement for injured fast bowler Jhye Richardson. Richardson is suffering from a hamstring injury and is ruled out of the 16th edition of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL). His replacement, Australian fast bowler, Riley Meredith, has played 5 T20Is picking up 8 wickets that include a three-wicket haul. He has represented the Punjab Kings & Mumbai Indians in the previous editions of the IPL. He joins MI for INR 1.5 Crore,” read an IPLT20 media release.

Mumbai’s start to the current season has been disappointing, as they suffered an 8-wicket defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, they will aim to turn their fortunes around in their upcoming high-profile match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday, April 8th.

Australia pacer Jhye Richardson will miss the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he has undergone surgery to g?et rid of his hamstring problem.

Richardson first suffered the injury during the recent edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) while playing for Perth Scorchers, but a recurrence of that issue ruled him out of the ODI series against India that will begin from Friday, March 17.

“Injuries are a big part of cricket, that’s a fact,” Richardson tweeted. “Frustrating? Absolutely.

“But I’m now in a scenario where I can get back to doing what I love and work bloody hard to become an even better player than before. One step back, two steps forward. Let’s do this.”
