“Me and Chris Gayle will join RCB in March” – AB de Villiers gives big update ahead of IPL 2023

by

The stage is set for the IPL 2023 mini-auction. While talks were ongoing to hold it in Instabul or even in Bengaluru, however this time the auction will be held in Kochi on 23rd December 2022.

The BCCI has set a November 15 deadline for the franchises to send the final list of retained players. Franchises can retain up to 15 players this time and will be forced to release the rest of the 10. For IPL 2022, the squad size was set at a minimum of 18 and a maximum of 25.

Meanwhile, Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) legend AB de Villiers said he’ll be back at Chinnaswamy Stadium for RCB’s opening game in Bangalore during IPL 2023.

He confirmed that he and Chris Gayle would attend the Hall of Fame induction.

De Villiers has played for RCB for a decade (2011-2021) since his move from Delhi Capitals (DC), amassing 4491 runs in 156 matches.

Meanwhile, Chris Gayle has represented RCB in 85 games with 3163 runs. The latter represented the franchise from 2011 to 2017.

Speaking on his Youtube Channel, de Villiers said:

“RCB, this year, I will be there, come the IPL 2023. I’ll be joining the RCB in March. There’s a hall of fame induction for myself and Chris Gayle. So, I’ll be at the Chinnaswamy for RCB’s first home game. It’s very exciting; it’s a huge honor.”

He added that it would be an emotional experience to finally say goodbye to the fans in Bangalore, as the IPL will return with a home-and-away game format in the real sense of the term after three years.

“I’ve had a fantastic run at RCB over the years, really enjoyed my time there and I see this as almost a sign of the official retirement. I never had the opportunity to say goodbye to my fans in Bangalore. It’s very sad, so I think there will be a lot of emotion. But I’ll be sharing some special memories with you guys, I will be on the pitch and we’ll see what happens.”

De Villiers also clarified that he will take up a role at RCB ahead of IPL 2023. He will finally be looking to help RCB win the elusive trophy during his stint as support staff. The franchise reached the playoff stage in the last edition of the tournament.

The former South African captain said:

“Hopefully, I’ll be joining the RCB team. I’ve no idea in what capacity or for how long, but it would be great to join forces again.”

It is worth mentioning that Sanjay Bangar is currently the head coach of RCB, while Sridharan Sriram is the batting and spin bowling coach. Thus, de Villiers might join the franchise as an assistant or batting coach.

“For sure, I would love to play for the Royals. Rajasthan Royals have also been my favourites because of Jofra, Oshane Thomas and Obed McCoy.”

Hayley Matthews-led Barbados Royals won the inaugural season 6IXTY women’s title. She stated in an official statement issued by the Barbados Royals that she would like to play for the Royals in the Women’s IPL.

“Obviously it has been so exciting for everyone. The girls went out and played some great cricket all tournament long, so I think this win has given everyone a lot of confidence and belief going into the Women’s CPL.”

She also talked about the new format, 6IXTY, saying that it was fun to play with the new rules.

“It was a fun format to play in with all the new rules which brought new excitement. It seems really fast from the outside, but I feel you still have time to set yourself at the crease, even in the first couple of overs. It’s definitely a format that could grow a lot in the coming years.”

The 25-year-old, Hayley believes the CPL does not need to undergo many changes to her team’s approach in the CPL.

“I think for us, it has been about taking it one game at a time. We want to focus on our skills and on the aspects which are under our control. We did have a tough start to the 6IXTY, but turned it around with some amazing performances, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of that during the WCPL.”

She continued,

“We have to take this first game into our stride and given it’s a slightly longer format, I think it suits us even better. The key will be the depth that we have in our batting and bowling departments. It is going to be really competitive, and we are going to bank on each and every player.”

Hayley got a taste of leadership at the age of 11, leading a boys’ team in primary school and it has always been her nature. Since then, she has come forward as a leader, fueled by many things. She said,

“I started captaincy very early in my life, and at the same time though, I was given the opportunity to play high-level cricket and start learning from such a young age. I think coming into the Windies team at 16, under players like Stafanie Taylor, Merissa Aguilleira, Deandra Dottin, and Shakera Selman really gave me an opportunity to learn so much.”

She also mentioned that it is a great honor to represent Royals, a big franchise in the world. Also, she hopes to lead Barbados Royals in the CPL for many more years.

“Representing Barbados is always a massive honor for me, and to be part of one of the biggest cricket franchises in the world – the Royals, makes me even prouder. I’m really looking forward to leading the team in this year’s Women’s CPL, and hopefully for many years to come.”

Hayley Matthews was in the attention at one point. That came at the age of 18 when Haley scored a 45-ball 66 to help West Indies lift the 2016 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

“I think it’s still a bit fuzzy actually, I think because I was so young (laughs). Everything was so free-willed. We just went out there and played freely.  It was do-or-die and I knew it was one of those days where it could either go your way or it might not, so I took my chances and it was pretty amazing in the end. Definitely one of those days that I will cherish forever.”

Also, about Jofra Achar, a current England fast bowler and a representative of the Royal Franchise, her memory was like this.

“When I was probably about 14-15 years old representing Harrison College, I came up against Jofra, who was playing for his Christ Church Foundation school side. He was opening the bowling from one end, along with West Indies U19 opening bowler Jerome Jones, who was bowling from the other end. So, it was pretty fiery to experience as a 15-year-old with both pacers coming at you at 80-85 miles an hour. But the good thing for me was that Jofra was my friend, so he kept it quite full and straight actually, but Jerome’s deliveries were just whizzing past my neck.”

And,

“When I look back at it all now, I think these are the experiences which have helped me become the player that I am today. But in the end, I think Jof did get me LBW or bowled (laugh).”

When asked if she would like to play for the Royals team in the IPL tournament, she said that the investment made by the Royals for women’s cricket should be highly appreciated and she is willing to play for that franchise.

“For sure, I would love to play for the Royals.  I’ve experienced an amazing atmosphere with the working group present at the franchise, and they are always very supportive of the girls. Their investment in women’s cricket is appreciable, and I think such investments being made in the right places is what our game needs.”

She also said that Jofra, Oshane Thomas, and Obed McCoy played for the Royals at the time, which is the reason why she loves the franchise more. She also believes that she will be able to play in the IPL in pink color.

Further commenting that she is excited to be BR’s men’s captain David Miller. She commented on South African destroyer David Millar,

“Both of us actually played for Welsh Fire in The Hundred together, so we did have a chat about joining up with the Royals. He’s told me about the amazing culture at the franchise and I wished him well for his CPL season that he’s so excited to be a part of.”

IPL: Sunrisers Hyderabad appoint Brian Lara as head coach after parting ways with Former head coach Tom Moody

by

Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody, who was the head coach of the Sunrise Hyderabad franchise, will not return as the head coach in the upcoming IPL season, SRH said in a statement.

Moody returned to Sunrisers as director of cricket in 2021, with Australian Trevor Bayliss as head coach. It was not a good year for Sunrisers that year and they had to finish last with three wins. With that setback, Bayliss stepped down as head coach, and Moody took over as the franchise’s head coach.

A two-time coach, between 2013 and 2019, he has successfully guided Sunrisers to the playoffs five times and won the IPL Championship in 2016.

However, Moody’s second season as head coach was fraught with adversity. In 2022, the Sunrisers finished eighth in the 10-team tournament with six wins and eight losses. Accordingly, they were the weakest team in terms of wins in the last two seasons. In 28 matches, SRH had 9 wins, 18 losses, and one draw.

Accordingly, former West Indian legend Brian Lara has been appointed as the head coach of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team for the 2023 IPL season, replacing Tom Moody. Lara was a strategic advisor and batting coach for SRH last season and this appointment is his first assignment as a head coach of a T20 team.

SRH on Saturday announced that Lara will replace Moody as the head coach for the 2023 IPL season.

Also in a statement, SRH thanked former coach moody and wished him well in his future endeavours.

“As his term with us draws to an end, we would like thank Tom for his contributions to SRH. It has been a much cherished journey over the years, and we wish him the very best for future endeavours.”

Moody will also be the Director of Cricket for the Desert Vipers, one of the six franchises in the new ILT20, which will begin in the UAE in January 2023.
