Not much, and mostly at the bargain end. Retentions lock on 17 November, only four days after the league stage opens, so the contracts that matter are settled before most innings are played. Last season backs that up: the biggest paydays went to players with modest tournament numbers, while the two leading wicket-takers earned three […]
Jack Edwards should take the allrounder’s place, with Cameron Green slotted in purely as a batter. The home summer opens in Perth on Friday 13 November without Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood, so the attack leans on whoever can bowl ten overs. Edwards has shown he can, with a five-wicket haul in only his second ODI. […]
Smith at first drop is the best answer to the vacancy Marnus Labuschagne has left. Australia have excluded Labuschagne from the entire four-match New Zealand series, and the options for the position are thin. Smith sat out the Cape Town decider because of a neck injury but is expected back, and his record at three […]
Shakeel is the better converter, narrowly over a career and decisively since 2023. Seven runs separated him from a fifth Test hundred at Rawalpindi on Tuesday, while Babar has gone almost four years without reaching three figures. Shakeel has turned four of his 16 scores above fifty into centuries, against nine of 44 for Babar, […]
Archer carries the threat, and Atkinson is the question. On 13 November, England start a three-match ODI trip in Perth, with the pair leading a pace attack that has already lost Josh Tongue to a toe injury. Maxwell, Stoinis and Smith have all retired from the format, so the home batting order looks different from […]
Adam Zampa, without doubt. Three ODIs begin in Perth on 13 November, and the hosts will do without their rested pace trio of Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood. That hands the senior role to a 34-year-old leg-spinner. England reply with Adil Rashid, who is older, more decorated in career wickets and noticeably more expensive in these […]
Only one side’s books move. Mumbai Indians take on an extra Rs 1.65 crore in salary because Arshdeep costs Rs 18 crore against the Rs 16.35 crore Hardik earned, while Punjab Kings break even, since both players now sit at Rs 18 crore. The IPL confirmed the swap on 11 November, five weeks before the […]
None, and then some. The four-player deal with SRH sent one foreign name out and pulled two in, which lifts Chennai to nine against a squad cap of eight. At least one release has to happen before retentions close on 17 November, because Khaleel Ahmed, the other man who left, is Indian and does nothing […]

KKR head into the December sale in Goa holding roughly ₹5.45 crore before any releases, with eight overseas berths to manage. Last year they emptied almost the whole of the largest budget available. Genuine flexibility arrives only if Cameron Green or Matheesha Pathirana is released, a move that would swell the figure beyond ₹48 crore. […]
