Murali Kartik in Somerset for 2012 ?


The former India Test spinner Murali Kartik will delay to take a decision on his Somerset future untill the end of the season – when he will take into consideration both his physical condition & his family.

Murali Kartik plays for Pune Warriors in IPL, and for Railways in the Ranji Trophy.


Kartik said:
"Even after the IPL, I hardly had any time, and within five days I was here playing a game. I haven't thought about it yet, but I will go back and immediately get into another season, so I have to look at things.


"I also have to consider my family equations. My wife doesn't seem very happy to lock her house every year and come back, but that's one of those things we will have to take into account.


"But I have absolutely enjoyed it here – the fact I am playing for a side which is up there with the best in the country, and the fact you don't have easy days, is why you are playing cricket.


"You want to be competitive at all times, day-in, day-out, and sometimes it's hard on your body and it's also a mental thing. But that's what you pride yourself on and I am very glad I made that move and am playing for Somerset."

Brian Rose the director of Somerset is relaxed about Kartik's situation and said
"I have had conversations with Murali and have acknowledged that he plays a lot of cricket"


"It was 50-50 whether he would be coming back for this season in one way, so we will see what happens towards the end of the season."

IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals to Welcome Rahul Dravid as New Head Coach

Rahul Dravid prepares to take on the head coach role for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 season.  The 52-year-old, who recently coached India to their T20 World Cup triumph in 2024, is set to return to the Royals, a team he captained in 2012 and 2013 and mentored until 2015. Dravid's connection with the Royals runs deep. His leadership during his playing days and subsequent mentorship laid a strong foundation for the franchise. His return as head coach brings a wealth of experience, especially after his successful stint as India's head coach, where he was instrumental in guiding a new generation of cricketers.

End of an Era: Southee to Retire from Tests After England Tour

Tim Southee, New Zealand’s prolific paceman and all-time leading wicket-taker across formats, has announced the third Test against England could be his final appearance in red-ball cricket.  If New Zealand qualifies for the World Test Championship (WTC) final next year, he may make himself available for one last hurrah. Southee, 35, will have a fitting end to his career at Seddon Park, Hamilton, his home ground. Reflecting on his 18-year journey, he expressed gratitude, saying, “To play such a big series against the team I began my Test career against and at grounds so special to me is the perfect way to bow out.” The veteran has struggled recently, managing only three wickets on the spin-friendly pitches in India. He relinquished the Test captaincy to Tom Latham on that tour, underscoring his commitment to a gradual transition. Coach Gary Stead praised Southee’s endurance and competitive spirit, calling him “an incredibly tough competitor.” New Zealand have named a 14-man squad fo...
