Despite being seventh on the points table for the World Test Championship 2023-25, South Africa still has a chance to qualify for the final. They have only played four out of their twelve scheduled Test matches and earned 12 points from two Tests against India, their toughest opposition in this cycle. To qualify, South Africa needs to displace either India or Australia from the top two positions.

South Africa’s remaining matches include four series, each consisting of two Test matches. Their previous clean sweeps at home against Pakistan and Sri Lanka suggest potential success in upcoming home series. They also have upcoming tours to the West Indies and Bangladesh.

The recent meeting between the BCCI and IPL team owners revealed several interesting proposals from various franchises. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) requested to eliminate the toss and allow them to opt first due to their history of losing tosses. They justified this by citing their five IPL wins and suggested that either this be accepted or the league’s fan base would reduce.

Delhi Capitals (DC) proposed different pitches for each inning: spin-assisting while bowling and flat while batting. This proposal aimed at improving their performance as they have not won an IPL title yet. Gujarat Titans (GT) suggested allowing the coach to captain from inside the field instead of using earpieces, specifically mentioning Ashish Nehra and potentially Yuvraj Singh as coaches who would benefit from this rule.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) demanded Indian citizenship for Sunil Narine, arguing his long-term contribution to IPL and employment creation in India. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) wanted KL Rahul‘s strike rate to be doubled, meaning if he scores 40 off 35 balls, it should count as 80 off 35. They threatened to let Rahul go if this demand is not met.

Mumbai Indians (MI) requested that players from their sister franchises, including Rashid Khan, be eligible to play for MI. Punjab Kings (PBKS) proposed reversing the qualification process so that teams finishing between sixth and tenth qualify for playoffs. Rajasthan Royals (RR) asked for English players to be considered local players due to their significant investment in English cricket talent over the years. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) simply requested no death overs while bowling but ten death overs while batting. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) demanded six overseas players in their playing XI instead of the usual limit.
