Melbourne, Sep 3 (Ians) Rashid Khan, Harry Brook, Quinton De Kock and Tom Curran headline a list of 21 overseas players selected in the second edition of the Bbl overseas draft. Sunday’s draft saw 374 players from 29 countries put their names forward for selection in eight squads ahead of Bbl season 13.
Round one was full of excitement and key retention picks, with seven Clubs selecting Platinum players. Melbourne Stars attempted to use their first pick to recruit Rashid, the world’s best T20 bowler, from the Adelaide Strikers, before he was retained for a seventh straight season by the club in blue.
“I wouldn’t have been allowed back into South Australia (if we didn’t pick Rashid). It was a no-brainer for us. For any team, if Rash is available you would look to pick him… he is the best spinner in the world,” said Jason Gillespie, Strikers’ head coach, on buying back Rashid.

Dubai, Sep 27 (Ians/GloFans) All eyes will be on the Dubai International Cricket stadium on Monday when two of the best cricketers-cum-captains of modern day cricket, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will square off in an Ipl league encounter that promises fireworks.
From the leadership prospective in the league's history, the Rohit-led Mumbai Indians (Mi) have dominated their Ipl exchanges against Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb), having registered 16 wins from 25 games while the opponents have managed nine. Mi have won Ipl title four times and the Rcb haven't won the coveted trophy even once in 12 previous attempts.
In batting, Rohit looks in fine touch with the willow. He led from the front against Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) and scored a brilliant 54-ball 80 and powered his side to a massive 195/5. On the other hand, Kohli's bat has remained silent in the past two outings so far; the run-machine has managed only 15 runs.

Abu Dhabi, Sep 22 (Ians/GloFans) Defending champions Mumbai Indians (Mi) will be keenly looking to bring their campaign back on track, after the reverse in the Ipl opener against the Chennai Super Kings (Csk), when they clash with former champions Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in their second match at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium here on Wednesday.
While the four-time Ipl champions, led by Rohit Sharma, started their 2020 campaign with a defeat, the Dinesh Karthik-led Kkr is yet to hit the ground. But Mumbai will take confidence from the fact that historically they have had the upper hand against Kkr in head-to-head clashes, having won 19 of the 25 matches.
In their game against Csk on Saturday, opener Quinton de Kock gave a great start to Mumbai. However, the middle-order batsmen failed to convert it into a big total, except Saurabh Tiwary, who showed some character with his 31-ball 42.
