Bad news for Dhoni's CSK, star player from team has been…
CSK opener Devon Conway has not been picked by NZ for tri-series against South Africa and Zimbabwe. (Photo: IANS) MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings had a season to forget in IPL 2025. The five-time IPL champions ended in last position in the IPL 2025 Points Table with just 4 wins to their name. A few weeks after the IPL 2025 season, there is more bad news in store for star player from the CSK team. New Zealand opener Devon Conway had been bought back by CSK for Rs 6.25 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction last year. But Conway had a forgettable time in IPL 2025 season, turning out in only 6 matches for the Chennai franchise while scoring 156 runs with 2 fifties. Conway has now been omitted from the side by new Black Caps head coach Rob Walter from the squad which will play a T20 tri-series against host Zimbabwe and South Africa next month in Zimbabwe. The 33-year-old Johannesburg-born batter is one of several leading players who have turned down central contacts with New Zealand Cricket to play in professional T20 leagues around the world. Conway last played for New Zealand in June of last year, in their last group match at the T20 World Cup 2024. Why is Kane Williamson not available? Former captain Kane Williamson made himself unavailable while playing for Middlesex in England's county championship. Mumbai Indians batter Bevon Jacobs is the only uncapped player in the 15-man squad named by Walter on Friday. The 23-year-old Jacobs was a member of the New Zealand squad that played Sri Lanka in December but did not play a game. He was bought for Rs 30 lakh by Nita Ambani's MI but didn't feature in any game in IPL 2025 season. MLC 2025 stars called up into squad Pacer Adam Milne has been recalled for the first time since November after performing well in Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 season in the United States. Meanwhile, in-form Finn Allen, who is the leading run-scorer in MLC 2025, and Tim Seifert also return to the squad which will be captained by MI all-rounder Mitchell Santner. Allen recently hit a world-record 19 sixes in an innings of 151 for the San Francisco Unicorns in MLC 2025. 'We've got a really strong squad for this tour and I'm looking forward to getting the team together and getting into the work,' Walter said. 'We've got some good experience in the side and it's nice to be able to welcome back a few of the players who missed the March series against Pakistan because of the IPL.' The tri-series will be played from July 14-26 in Harare. New Zealand squad: Mitchell Santner (c), Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Matt Henry, Bevon Jacobs, Adam Milne, Daryl Mitchell, Will O'Rourke, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi

‘I believe RCB can win IPL 2025': Mohammad Kaif backs Rajat Patidar's men for maiden silverware
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 resuming on May 17. Rajat Patidar-led team is currently on a four-match winning streak and just one win away from sealing their Playoffs berth. While the franchise's fans are backing them to win their maiden title this year, former RCB and India player Mohammad Kaif has also shown his belief in the team. Kaif praised the entire team and Rajat Patidar's captaincy. He also appreciated performances by batters, especially Virat Kohli, and the contribution that bowlers have made in this season. RCB made it to the playoffs nine times in the history of the league. They reached three IPL finals in the years 2009, 2011, and 2016, but are yet to win their maiden trophy. 'If we talk about RCB as a team, they have been fantastic. I am emphasising the word 'team' because they have always been a batting-heavy team," Mohammad Kaif expressed. "However, this time Rajat Patidar has done a fantastic job of using his bowlers, restricting opponents while defending 170-180. Kohli has continued doing what he does best… but the bowlers have given them the belief that they can win," Kaif hailed the captain and bowlers. "The team with the best all-round side usually has the best chance, so I believe they can win it this year,' Kaif concluded as quoted by The Times of India. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are currently ranked second in the IPL 2025 Points Table. They have 16 points from 8 wins out of the 11 matches. Their NRR is +0.482. Royal Challengers Bengaluru have three matches remaining and they need to win just one game to seal their place in the top four with 18 points. They will be geared up to make it to the top two by winning two or more matches. If RCB loses all three matches then their qualification will be dependent on the other team's result and NRR as they will remain with 16 points. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders (Bengaluru) - 17th May 2025 (Saturday) Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (Bengaluru) - 23rd May 2025 (Friday) Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (Lucknow) - 27th May 2025 (Tuesday)
