Former Pakistan seamer Mohammad Amir is ready to make his debut in the latest edition of the Caribbean Premier League, starting from August 28. The 29-year-old announced his retirement from international cricket in December last year, owing to his feud with Pakistan’s team management. The veteran speedster continues to feature in the various T20 leagues across the globe. He will now be available in the Caribbean Premier League as the left-arm pacer has been signed by Barbados Tridents for the ninth edition that kicks off in St Kitts & Nevis in August 2021.  Amir has claimed 59 wickets in 50 T20I for Pakistan.

Warwickshire seamer Craig Miles has signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at Edgbaston until at least the end of the 2023 season. The 26-year-old has claimed 31 wickets in 11 first-class matches since joining the Bears in 2019. He scored 61 runs and took 10 wickets at an average of 25.5 in three appearances during the LV= Insurance County Championship this season. Miles made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire in 2011 and has since gone on to claim 286 wickets, with a further 69 wickets in white-ball cricket. Chuffed to extend my stay at Edgbaston! 🙌🏻 Looking forward to seeing where this team goes over the next few years! 🐻🐻🐻 #YouBears https://t.co/4EzDDKKmDJ — Craig Miles (@CMiles_18) May 18, 2021

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has unanimously decided to postpone the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season, with immediate effect. Following the recent Covid-19 scare, BCCI met IPL Governing Council on Tuesday in a meeting to announce the suspension of the tournament for indefinite period. “The BCCI does not want to compromise on the safety of the players, support staff and the other participants involved in organising the IPL. This decision was taken keeping the safety, health and wellbeing of all the stakeholders in mind,” the BCCI said in a press-release . It all started when the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) players Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier both were tested positive for the novel strain.  The latest victims of the virus have been Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Wriddhiman Saha, Delhi Capitals’ Amit Mishra and Chennai Super Kings's bowling coach L Balaji.
