Indian Premier League

New Delhi: Indian Premier League's Twenty20 format may not attract purists but selectors should consider IPL performance before picking the Indian squad for the tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia cup in Pakistan, according to Virender Sehwag.

Bangalore: Mumbai Indians may have failed to make the semi-finals but at least they had the consolation of signing off with a win as they spanked Bangalore Royal Challengers by nine wickets in an inconsequential rain-truncated match on Wednesday.

Washington: Tiger Woods is set to make his comeback at the next month's US Open even though his recovery from a knee operation has sorely tested his patience, the world No.1 said on Tuesday.

Calcutta: Defender Surkumar Singh, who pulled a hamstring in the match against Chinese Taipei on Tuesday, has been ruled out of the SAFF meet in the Maldives.

Mumbai: The onus is on the Delhi DareDevils players to execute the elaborate plans chalked out by the teams think-tank during their IPL semi-final against Rajasthan Royals, captain Virender Sehwag said on Friday.

Calcutta: Chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to arrange for the fitness reports of the Indian players from the physios of the eight teams in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL).

Calcutta: Sachin Tendulkar's non-availability for the June 8-14 tri-series in Bangladesh and the June 24-July 6 Asia Cup in Pakistan appears to have opened the door somewhat for Sourav Ganguly's return in ODIs.
