Rahul Tripathi to Ravichandran Ashwin: Players Chennai Super Kings could release before IPL 2026
Rahul Tripathi may not play for Chennai Super Kings in the 2026 IPL. Although he was bought for ₹3.4 crore, his lackluster achievements this season may mean CSK moves on.
Deepak Hooda may be released by Chennai Super Kings before the IPL 2026 mini-auction begins. Acquired for ₹1.7 crore, Hooda's inconsistent middle-order performance may lead the team to seek alternative players.
Chennai Super Kings' IPL 2025 acquisition, Devon Conway, purchased for ₹6.25 crore, has underperformed this season. It is possible that the team will let him go before the mini-auction, hoping to get a different top batsman.
Vijay Shankar may get released by Chennai Super Kings before the tournament in 2026. Despite paying him Rs 1.2 crore, his small effect this season might cause him to move on.
Chennai Super Kings could decide to part ways with Ravichandran Ashwin ahead of the 2026 IPL season. Although he is one of the league's most expensive players, he hasn't performed well this year and might be cut from the team.

Shreyanka Patil and Priya Mishra are out of India A's Australia tour. Dhara Gujjar and Prema Rawat join the squad for T20s, ODIs, and a multi-day match. All-rounder Shreyanka Patil and spinner Priya Mishra have been ruled out of India A's upcoming tour of Australia. The selectors have added 22-year-old Dhara Gujjar and 23-year-old Prema Rawat across all three formats, alongside wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia, to the one-day squad. Gujjar was earlier named in the one-day and multi-day squads, while Rawat was only part of the T20 squad. The team will play a multi-format series Down Under comprising three T20s, three 50-over matches, and a four-day red-ball fixture against Australia A. 'As mentioned in the earlier media release dated July 10, their participation was subject to fitness clearance," the BCCI said in a statement. 'Both players remain under the care of the BCCI Medical Team at the Centre of Excellence and are currently undergoing their Return-to-Play protocols." Shreyanka has been out of action since last year's Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE due to an ankle injury. She also missed out on IPL 2025 and was replaced by Sneh Rana in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's squad.

IOA EC puts up an united front, insists on working together in push for 2036 Olympics
The Indian Olympic Association put up a united front on Thursday with the entire Executive Council appearing together in public for the first time in almost 18 months, confirming the appointment of Raghuram Iyer as the CEO, and setting up a panel to tackle doping. Raghuram's appointment by Usha in January 2024 at a salary of Rs. 20 lakh per month and other perks had been the biggest bone of contention between IOA president P.T. Usha and other members and had remained unratified. A majority of EC members had even brought in a no-confidence motion against Usha last year before it was dropped. Officially titled 'Powering India's Sporting Aspirations: IOA's Vision 2036' there was no denying the meet was primarily to affirm truce within the IOA. No AGM had been held since March 2023 and a stormy EC meeting in September 2024 had failed to break the impasse. Raghuram, who was also present on the occasion, had continued to discharge his duties and was also part of the Indian delegation to meet IOC in Lausanne last month. 'Everything is sorted and that is why he is sitting here with me. Everything is ratified,' Usha declared, 'Raghu Iyer is the CEO of IOA,' AIFF president Kalyan Choubey insisted and IOA treasurer Sahdev Yadav, one of Usha's most vocal opponents, said, 'It's like small bickering and we are back and happy to be together.' The beginning of the end of the deadlock had begun with Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya holding informal meetings with Usha and EC members and trying to get them to negotiate. The IOA visit to Lausanne as part of India's bid for the 2036 Olympics, which included ministry officials, and IOC feedback further helped bring about a rapprochement. 'We are focused on our long-term goal of transforming India into a sporting powerhouse. It's part of our resolve to power through India's sporting aspirations via Mission 2036,' Usha said, adding that the IOA was committed to inclusivity and gender parity in Indian sport. 'We are equally committed to making sports an inclusive space for women, young athletes, those from tribal areas and every Indian who dreams of sporting excellence,' she said. On the new Sports Bill, Choubey said that 'it clearly mentions that the government has brought some guidelines and it is not to interfere. If there is any conflict, the rules of the international body will prevail. Idea is not to create any confrontation or confusion, the idea is to work together.' The seven-member anti-doping panel, meanwhile, will be headed by India's Davis Cup captain Rohit Rajpal after India's poor record was flagged by the IOC.

Ex-CSK Wicketkeeper To Replace Rishabh Pant In Indian Team For 5th ENG Test: Report
Narayan Jagadeesan is a wicketkeeper-batter from Tamil Nadu. In 52 first-class matches played so far, he has scored 3373 runs. Former Chennai Super Kings wicketkeeper-batter Narayan Jagadeesan is reportedly set to replace Rishabh Pant in India's squad for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Pant suffered a foot injury on Wednesday (July 23), and due to that, he will miss the fifth Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England. The fifth Test is scheduled to take place at The Oval from July 31 to August 4. According to a report in Cricbuzz on Thursday (July 24), 'The right-handed keeper batter from Tamil Nadu is almost certain to be added to the squad. An announcement is expected soon." 'The selectors and the team management were looking at Ishan Kishan as a potential option and it later emerged that the 27-year-old keeper from Jharkhand is not available," the report added. Ishan, who last played a Test match for India in July 2023 against the West Indies in Port of Spain, according to a report in Times of India, is dealing with an ankle injury and has 10 stitches on his left foot after he fell from a scooty. 'Ishan has suffered an ankle injury and has ten stitches on his left foot after he fell from a scooty," a source tracking the development was quoted as saying by TOI on Thursday. 'Selectors did reach out to Ishan, but only on Thursday. His stitches have been removed, and he currently has a plaster on his left ankle," the source added. Jagadeesan has played a total of 52 first-class matches so far and has scored 3373 runs. His batting average is 47.50 and he has 10 centuries and 14 half-centuries to his credit. In the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, he scored 674 runs in eight matches for Tamil Nadu. His batting average was 56.16 and he crossed the 100-run mark twice in addition to scoring five fifties. Among wicketkeeper-batter's only Vidarbha's Akshay Wadkar (722 runs at 45.12 in 10 matches) scored more runs than him. Jagadeesan's record in IPL In the cash-rich Indian Premier League, Jagadeesan has played a total of 13 matches for two teams—Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. In seven matches for CSK across two seasons, he scored 73 runs, and in six matches for KKR in IPL 2023, he amassed a total of 89 runs. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 17:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
