Former ICC match referee reveals India influenced match decisions

Former ICC match referee Chris Broad has revealed that India once tried to influence match decisions regarding slow over-rate penalties during his time as a referee.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Broad said that he received a phone call during a match in which India was three or four overs behind the required rate. The caller reportedly asked him to “go easy” and to “find some extra time because it’s India.”

Although Broad did not mention the exact match, he stated that the call came from former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, and claimed that similar pressure was applied again during the following match.

“I asked what I should do next, and he said, ‘Just do what I tell you,’” Broad recalled.

Chris Broad served as an ICC match referee from 2003 until February 2023, and revealed that his contract was not renewed by the ICC, despite his willingness to continue.

SJB MP Prasath Sirivardhana criticizes Sanath Jayasuriya

Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) spokesperson and Member of Parliament Prasath Sirivardhana has leveled allegations against Sanath Jayasuriya, saying that he is not qualified enough to hold the position of Head Coach of the Sri Lanka Cricket Team.

Matheesha Pathirana likely to continue with Chennai Super Kings

Indian media recently reported that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had decided not to retain Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana for the 2026 IPL season. However, new updates suggest that CSK plans to release five players ahead of the auction — Devon Conway, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tripathi, Sam Curran, and Deepak Hooda.

Since Matheesha Pathirana is not among the released players, it appears that he is likely to continue representing Chennai Super Kings in the 2026 IPL.

So far, playing for CSK, Pathirana has taken 47 wickets in 32 matches, proving to be one of their key bowlers.

According to Australian media, Pat Cummins and Travis Head have rejected a massive contract offer from an IPL franchise team.

It is reported that the offer came from a franchise group that owns teams in the IPL as well as several other major leagues around the world. The proposal invited both players to retire from international cricket and play only for their franchise teams. Each player was reportedly offered 10 million US dollars for the deal.

However, both Cummins and Head have turned down the offer. Interestingly, under their current Cricket Australia central contracts, they each earn less than INR 10 crore — far less than what was offered.
