Indian Premier League side Kings XI Punjab has denied reports of their star batsman Karun&nbsp;Nair contracting Covid-19. It was widely reported that Nair had tested positive earlier but had recovered and gave a negative test. Kings XI Punjab's CEO&nbsp;Satish Menon told the Times of India that Nair had just mild fever and never had Covid-19. Menon&nbsp;called the reports absurd and baseless and went on to say that all players of Kings XI Punjab including Karun&nbsp;Nair have started practising in their respective cities with mentor Anil&nbsp;Kumble&nbsp;keeping a close eye on their progress.&nbsp;

Rain consumed over half a day's play as England enjoyed sitting in the drivers' seat vs Pakistan in the 2nd Test in Southampton. After electing to bat first under the overcast sky on day 1 morning, Pakistan lost Shan&nbsp;Masood early. Skipper Azhar&nbsp;Ali chipped in with 20 before he was removed by James Anderson. Abid&nbsp;Ali scored a fluent 60 to take his side past the 100 run mark as the rain continued to affect the game. A late surge by the English bowlers crippled the middle order and reduced the visitors to 126/5. Fawad&nbsp;Alam&nbsp;playing test cricket after 11 long years was dismissed for a duck as his fairytale come back to the national side was ruined by Chris Woakes.&nbsp;

Former India skipper MS Dhoni&nbsp;has tested negative for Covid-19 and will be joining the Chennai Super Kings' camp soon. The 39-year-old underwent&nbsp;testing at a government hospital in Ranchi&nbsp;along with teammate&nbsp;Monu&nbsp;Kumar&nbsp;Singh&nbsp;who also plays for the Super Kings. This was a mandatory test instructed by the CSK management for all players and support staff before they depart for a 5-day camp in Chennai. In accordance with BCCI's&nbsp;SOP for Covid-19, Dhoni&nbsp;will be tested again before he joins the camp in Chennai. After a 5-day camp in Chennai, the squad along&nbsp;with support staff will fly to Dubai for the Indian Premier League on August 21st.&nbsp;

Australia's Mitchell Starc&nbsp;is gearing up to push the 160 km per hour mark in the upcoming home summer, as he has put on 5 kgs&nbsp;during the forced break. The 30-year-old said that&nbsp;when everything is going well, that rhythm is happening and conditions suit, then he can get that speed gun up. Starc&nbsp;added that perhaps with that extra time in the gym, he might be able to push the limits again as he still wants to bowl fast and isn't going to compromise on that.&nbsp;Starc&nbsp;is one of the very few bowlers to have touched the 160 kmph&nbsp;mark in international cricket but injuries forced the left-arm pacer to lower down his pace.&nbsp;

Known for his work to strengthen cricket at the grassroots&nbsp;level,&nbsp;National Cricket Academy chief Rahul&nbsp;Dravid&nbsp;in an interaction with members of affiliated state units during a webinar&nbsp;organised by the BCCI, suggested that the expertise&nbsp;of former players&nbsp;should not be wasted and can be integrated in the cricketing set-up. Since it will be difficult for 25-30 players to train outdoors during current circumstances,&nbsp;NCA is also planning a two-phased training resumption. State team's trainers and physios&nbsp;will help players virtually and&nbsp;phase wise a few can come and train physically. Practicing in groups has been restricted in India since the pandemic hit in March but things are slowly getting back to normal.

Caribbean Premier League team&nbsp;Trinbago Knight Riders being allowed to remain outside the bio-secure bubble and continue training has left&nbsp;some franchises furious.&nbsp;St Lucia Zouks&nbsp;and former West Indies skipper Darren Sammy tweeted to question&nbsp;that&nbsp;how can everybody else in a bubble have no access to training or practice games while others on the outside in a Covid-19 infected area be training and then allowed to join the bubble without self isolation? According to&nbsp;CPL rules, all players are required to stay in their hotel rooms for a week. After that, each member will be tested and will be allowed to train only after reporting 2 negative Covid-19 tests.&nbsp;Apart from Sammy, even the title holders Barbados Tridents have reportedly approached the CPL on the issue. The tournament is scheduled to start from August 18.

Sweden&rsquo;s International Dope Test and Management may have done sample collection and testing for the last 12 seasons of the IPL&nbsp;but&nbsp;NADA will jointly carry out dope sample collection&nbsp;with&nbsp;UAE&rsquo;s National Anti-Doping Organisation for the cash-rich league this time around. Therefore, their Standard Operating Procedures will be followed all time&nbsp;by the dope control officers&nbsp;of two nations while collecting urine samples of the participating players. BCCI&nbsp;though won't bear the cost of the dope control officers.&nbsp;The Indian board came under NADA&rsquo;s ambit from the third quarter of 2019 and this year will be the first time that the agency will handle sample collection during the IPL.

Senior Pakistani cricketer Mohd&nbsp;Hafeez&nbsp;has been put in 5-day isolation after he reportedly breached the social distancing protocols in the biosecure bubble in England. The batsman who is part of Pakistan's limited-overs&nbsp;squad for the series against England clicked a picture with a senior citizen while on a walk in the golf course inside the biosecure&nbsp;bubble where the team is staying. As a precautionary measure, the 39-year old was put in isolation and can join the team after a negative test report. The Pakistan Cricket Board is expected to reprimand the former captain as this could have not only affected him but his teammates in the biosecure bubble.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ravindra&nbsp;Jadeja is all set to miss the 5-day long training camp organised by his side Chennai Super Kings in India before their departure to the UAE&nbsp;for the Indian Premier League. Jadeja&nbsp;has informed the team about his unavailability due to some personal commitments. CSK&nbsp;has organised a 5-day long training camp in Chennai behind closed doors before leaving for the UAE. The 31-year-old allrounder&nbsp;who is a key member of the team will join his colleagues right before the franchise departs from Chennai on 21st August.&nbsp;

Kings XI Punjab's Karun&nbsp;Nair has recovered from Covid-19. According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, the right-handed batsman caught the virus some time ago and isolated himself for 2 weeks and followed up with a negative test result. Nair who scored a triple hundred in Test cricket for India is the first high-profile cricketer to have contracted the deadly virus. The report also suggests that Nair has fully recovered and is expected to join his teammates in Kings XI Punjab and is looking forward to playing in the Indian Premier League. The IPL&nbsp;Governing Council has laid out some rigorous process for the players and support staff including multiple tests and a compulsory week-long quarantine before the tournament in the UAE.&nbsp;

The Sri&nbsp;Lankana cricket board has decided to postpone the inaugural edition of the&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;Premier League&nbsp;until mid-November due to Covid-19 quarantine rules. A cricket official in a statement said that they asked for a 3-day quarantine period but the health authorities insisted on 14 days. But according to him, it's not feasible to hold the tournament this month under those restrictions. Lanka&nbsp;Premier League was scheduled to be played from August 28 to September 20 but&nbsp;Sri&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;Cricket&nbsp;vice-president Ravin Wickramaratne told ESPNcricinfo&nbsp;that it was not feasible to simply push the tournament back several weeks, as it would have then clashed with the proposed dates for the IPL, which is due to start from September 19 in the UAE.&nbsp;

After losing the 1st Test in Manchester from a commanding position, Pakistan may be frustrated as to how they returned empty handed but they now need to put that behind as focus shifts to an all-important 2nd Test in Southampton. Where&nbsp;Azhar&nbsp;Ali's men would fight to win it to keep themselves alive in the series, England would hope to clinch their first Test series vs Pakistan in their own backyard for the first time in 10 years. The last 2 Test series between these 2 sides in England ended in a draw. Both teams also have selection headache.&nbsp;England will be without the services&nbsp;of their star all-rounder Ben Stokes who had to pull out of the series due to family emergency. Pakistan on the other hand were criticized for going in with 2 leg spinners in the 1st Test and may bring in an extra batsman to strengthen the middle order. The visitors&nbsp;may have been the better side so far but need to find out a away to go take that extra step this time around.

In a major blow for Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals ahead of the Indian Premier League season 13, fielding coach Dishant&nbsp;Yangnik&nbsp;has tested positive for Covid-19. In a tweet on Wednesday, the former wicket-keeper batsman said that he tested positive and is under a 14-day quarantine in a hospital in Udaipur.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to BCCI&nbsp;protocols, Yagnik&nbsp;would need 2 negative Covid-19 tests before he can join the team in the UAE. The tests were done by the Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals management as they prepare the team and support staff for the league. This is the first known positive result so far from the Indian cricket fraternity which is about to embark on a risky journey to the UAE&nbsp;to play the IPL.&nbsp;

Despite Vivo's&nbsp;exit from the Indian Premier League, BCCI is confident about avoiding a major loss despite losing a chunk of money. With Vivo's&nbsp;annual deal of&nbsp;₹430 crores&nbsp;missing from this year, BCCI&nbsp;has decided the expand the official partners' slot for IPL. The existing&nbsp;3 official partners club will expand to 5 as BCCI&nbsp;aims to recover the losses from Vivo's&nbsp;exit. According to a report in the Times of India, BCCI&nbsp;is aiming to generate close to&nbsp;₹40 crores&nbsp;each from the 2 new slots, the new title sponsor might sign up for around&nbsp;₹300 crores as the rights are only available till the end of this year. The report also suggests that E-learning platform BYJU's, Amazon India &amp; cricket fantasy platform Dream 11 are the top contenders while credit card payment service Cred&nbsp;and upcoming E-learning platform Unacademy&nbsp;are the dark horses in the race. The bidding war ends on 14th August at 5 pm.&nbsp;

He may be 39 but MS Dhoni&nbsp;is still the top priority for IPL&nbsp;side Chennai Super Kings. CEO&nbsp;Kasi&nbsp;Viswanathan&nbsp;in an interview to India Today confirmed that the management &amp; the team isn't worried about their captain. Viswanathan&nbsp;went on to say that Dhoni&nbsp;could still represent CSK&nbsp;till 2022 and he knows his responsibilities with the team. Kasi&nbsp;went on to predict that after retirement, Dhoni&nbsp;could become the permanent&nbsp;boss of the IPL&nbsp;franchise based out of Chennai. Dhoni&nbsp;has been with the Chennai Super Kings since the inception of the IPL&nbsp;in 2008 and has won 3 titles and also twice has lifted the now-defunct Champions League T20 trophy.

Stuart Broad was fined 15% match fee for breaching the code of conduct during the 1st Test vs Pakistan. Broad accepted the charges of using inappropriate language during the match. Interestingly, the match referee happened to be Stuart Broad's&nbsp;father - Chris Broad who has been a former English cricketer and a Test official since 2003. Stuart saw the funny side of this story and tweeted to say that his father&nbsp;is off the Christmas card &amp; present list. Surely all is well in the Broad household as this story will forever remain part of dinner table conversations.&nbsp;

IPL&nbsp;teams may have been using local bowlers to bowl to their star batsmen in the nets but the strict bio-security measures this time&nbsp;means that all franchises will have to arrange for quality bowlers who will travel with them to the UAE.&nbsp;At least 3 franchises, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals have confirmed that they are preparing a roster of net bowlers and the list comprises mostly of first-class, Under-19 and Under-23 state-level players. CSK&nbsp;CEO Kasi Vishwanathan told PTI on Tuesday that if all goes well, the selected bowlers will&nbsp;accompany the team and will remain till the tournament starts. All teams are set to&nbsp;leave for UAE&nbsp;after August 20.

Two apex council members, who are also the representative of the Indian Cricketers Association, have requested&nbsp;Mumbai Cricket Association president Vijay Patil&nbsp;to allow cricketers to jog in the MCA grounds, including the Wankhede Stadium. According to a report in&nbsp;The Indian Express, the MCA&nbsp;has sent another reminder to the Maharashtra government last week, seeking permission to start cricket training in the city.&nbsp;Ajinkya Rahane&nbsp;had earlier verbally asked for MCA&rsquo;s permission to use their facilities for training, but it was denied due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Apart from Rahane, many Mumbai cricketers including Rohit&nbsp;Sharma, Shreyas&nbsp;Iyer&nbsp;and Prithvi&nbsp;Shaw will travel to UAE&nbsp;for the upcoming IPL. Indian skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohlil&nbsp;who also stays in Mumbai&nbsp;has used&nbsp;MCA facilities in the past.

New Zealand&nbsp;Cricket on Tuesday confirmed that their upcoming home series against&nbsp;Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh and the West Indies will go ahead despite the pandemic. Their board's&nbsp;chief executive David White in a statement said that the arrangements were likely to follow the bio-secure bubble model adopted in England and they are working through that with the government agencies at the moment.&nbsp;White though refused to release schedules of the tours until details had been worked out. All people coming into New Zealand are currently required to maintain at least 14 days of strictly supervised quarantine. This&nbsp;week, New Zealand marked 100 days since its last case of community transmission and&nbsp;spectators are being allowed at sports and cultural events.

Indian cricketer Ravindra&nbsp;Jadeja landed himself in trouble when he had a run-in with a lady constable in Rajkot&nbsp;who stopped him for allegedly not wearing a mask.&nbsp;Head constable Sonal Gosai of&nbsp;Mahila police Station&nbsp;stopped Jadeja&nbsp;at around 9pm who was with his&nbsp;wife Rivaba&nbsp;in their car. They had an argument when Gosai&nbsp;asked them to pay penalty for not wearing masks and even asked for Jadeja's&nbsp;license.
