Melbourne, Sep 3 (Ians) Rashid Khan, Harry Brook, Quinton De Kock and Tom Curran headline a list of 21 overseas players selected in the second edition of the Bbl overseas draft. Sunday’s draft saw 374 players from 29 countries put their names forward for selection in eight squads ahead of Bbl season 13.
Round one was full of excitement and key retention picks, with seven Clubs selecting Platinum players. Melbourne Stars attempted to use their first pick to recruit Rashid, the world’s best T20 bowler, from the Adelaide Strikers, before he was retained for a seventh straight season by the club in blue.
“I wouldn’t have been allowed back into South Australia (if we didn’t pick Rashid). It was a no-brainer for us. For any team, if Rash is available you would look to pick him… he is the best spinner in the world,” said Jason Gillespie, Strikers’ head coach, on buying back Rashid.

Guyana, Sep 23 (Ians) The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots secured a seven-run win over the Trinbago Knight Riders to stay in contention for a 2022 Hero Caribbean Premier League (Cpl) play-off spot here on Friday.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots won the toss and chose to bat in this must-win game, but were restricted early on as the Knight Riders rotated five bowlers across the powerplay.
Sherfane Rutherford would change the complexion of the innings with a brilliant 78 runs, aided by a spectacular cameo from Dewald Brevis, to take the Patriots to 163/6.
Patriots were frustrated by the bowling of the Knight Riders in the first ten overs, reaching 43/3 and having lost the key wicket of Evin Lewis. Rutherford would then shoulder the responsibility of carrying the innings. Brevis scored 30 runs from just six balls, constantly clearing the boundary.
In their chase, the Trinbago Knight Riders struggled to build partnerships as wickets consistently fell.

Abu Dhabi, June 12 (Ians) West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell was on Friday taken to a hospital here in an ambulance after he was struck on the helmet by a bouncer in a Pakistan Super League (Psl) match.
Russell -- who was replaced by fast bowler Naseem Shah under the concussion-sub rule -- had smashed two sixes off Muhammad Musa in the 14th over while representing Quetta Gladiators against Islamabad United.
He went for a pull-shot but misjudged the bounce as the ball hit him on his helmet.
Though the West Indian decided to continue batting after being examined by a physio, he was out the very next ball, caught at third man.
Russell was seen being stretchered out of the dressing room to an ambulance during the first over of the second innings.

Perth, Nov 13 (Ians) The Perth Scorchers have bolstered their batting units with the signing of destructive New Zealand batsman Colin Munro for the upcoming Big Bash League season.
"To jump on board with such a successful, established club that has been playing great cricket since the Bbl started was really what appealed to me...it's going to be pretty special to be part of it," Munro said.

Dubai, Sep 19 (Ians/GloFans) The second game of the 13th Indian Premier League (Ipl) will be played between two of the most inconsistent performers of the tournament till date -- Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kings XI Punjab (Kxip). Both are yet to win a title in 12 attempts.
After a lacklustre outing in the first 11 seasons of the lucrative league, the Delhi franchise renamed their team, from Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals, in December 2018 and that turned out to be lucky for them.
Last season, Delhi's seven-year wait to enter the play-offs ended when Shreyas Iyer led from the front and took his team into the qualifiers. They eventually went down to the Csk and crashed out.
After an impressive outing last year, DC retained most of their core players, namely Shreyas, stumper Rishabh Pant, and pacer Kagiso Rabada. The franchise, however, released some under-performers like Colin Munro, Colin Ingram, and Chris Morris.
