ENGLAND TOUR OF INDIA, 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Sam Curran is set to be in India for the next three months for T20Is against India and the IPL. © Getty With England scheduled to play 118 days of international cricket during the course of the year, and players having to spend their time in bio-secure bubbles, the coaching staff decided to come out with the rotation policy. However, England's rotation policy has come under more scrutiny, especially in the backdrop of the side slipping to a 1-3 series loss against India. Sam Curran , who was rested after the Sri Lanka tour, has defended the move and said that rest and rotation keeps the players fresh during a busy year. "Definitely... a lot of stuff has been spoken about the rotation," he said in the presser.

South Africa’s new domestic setup eyes cost-cutting, larger player pool
SOUTH AFRICA CRICKET by Telford Vice • Last updated on Share Tweet From 2021-22, the six franchises will be disbanded into 15 provincial teams which will compete in a two-tier system © Getty If you turned on a television on Sunday and subscribed to the service offered by one of sport's leading broadcasters, you might have seen something that hadn't appeared on that platform for almost 15 years. There, live and in living colour on a dazzling Highveld morning, was a South African first-class match.

In this week’s edition of the NHL Power Rankings the Golden Knights climb to the top spot thanks to a six-game winning streak that has been driven by the two-way dominance of Mark Stone and the spectacular goaltending of Marc-Andre Fleury .

Just behind them are the defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning, Maple Leafs, Panthers, and surprising Panthers to round out the top-five. Where does your team sit? To this week’s NHL Power Rankings! 1. Vegas Golden Knights. Mark Stone is playing at an MVP level and Marc-Andre Fleury is playing at a Vezina level.

It’s official: Blake Griffin bought out by Detroit, will become free agent
The expected has become official: Blake Griffin has reached a buyout deal with the Detroit Pistons and will be a free agent when he clears waivers Sunday at 5 p.m. Eastern. He is expected to sign a deal with the Brooklyn Nets over the All-Star break. The big question was just how much money Griffin would give up in a buyout. He’s contractually owed the rest of this season and $39 million for next season, a total around $53y owed would he give up to move on. The answer is $13.3 million, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic — a considerable financial gift to the Pistons. Sources: Blake Griffin gave back $13.3 million in his buyout with the Pistons. He had $75M on his deal for this season and 2021-22. The six-time All-Star will clear waivers on Sunday and the Brooklyn Nets are the leaders to sign him. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) March 5, 2021 “Blake has been a great representative for our franchise and for the city of Detroit,” said Pistons owner Tom Gores in a … [Read more...] about It’s official: Blake Griffin bought out by Detroit, will become free agent
