Joburg Super Kings have named South African legend Allan Donald as bowling coach and Pierre de Bruyn as fielding coach, with Evan Speechly as the new physio, as they officially thank Eric Simons and Tommy Simsek. Here is JSK's new support staff for SA20 2027.
Urvil Patel hit 85 off 67, Kamboj took 2/18 in the second innings, Mukesh Choudhary finished with 1/32, Kartik Sharma helped Rajasthan stabilise and Aman fell for 1. But Ayush Mhatre is out for four to six weeks with a Grade 4 hamstring tear. Here is how our CSK players did on day 3.
A few days after Mike Hussey, CSK bowling coach Eric Simons and fielding coach James Foster have appeared in England's coaching staff for the winter tours under Stephen Fleming. Here is what it tells us about CSK's staff revamp.
Kamboj ended on 4/56 as Himachal Pradesh were bowled out for 253, Mukesh Choudhary bowled 6 overs for 10 runs, Kuldip Yadav took 2/42 in 19 overs, and Mhatre and Sarfaraz saw very little action as Chandigarh follow on. Here is how our CSK players did on day 2 of Round 1 of the Ranji Trophy.
Kamboj took 4 wickets, Mhatre made 48 on his comeback, Kuldip Yadav hit a quick 26 off 15, Sarfaraz and Kartik got out for 1, Aman was wicketless and Gopal was left out with dehydration. Here is how our CSK players did on day 1 of the opening round of the Ranji Trophy.
Fifteen CSK players are in their state squads as the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 starts on 11 October. Here are the groups, who will be available from Round 1, who may miss games for India and India A duty, and their numbers from last season.
Cricbuzz reports CSK have parted ways with batting coach Mike Hussey, a man who has been there for every IPL title the franchise has won, as the staff revamp continues after Fleming and Simmons.
One IPL game in two years, a hamstring just before IPL that wrecked CSK's 2026 death-bowling plan before a ball was bowled, and a fresh side strain, CSK should release Nathan Ellis and find someone reliable.
