No rebate payments will be made until each claim is individually investigated and determined to be valid, Freeland said in an emailed statement shared by her office.

Sunil Narine survives hit-wicket scare during IPL 2025 opener

Image
Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) Sunil Narine narrowly avoided dismissal despite a hit-wicket incident against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during the opening match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at Eden Gardens. Batting on 44 off 26 balls, Sunil Narine appeared to be out when he accidentally hit the stumps with his bat during the seventh over. Facing a sharp short delivery from Rasikh Salam, Narine attempted to evade the ball, but in doing so, his bat struck the stumps, dislodging the bails. However, the umpire ruled him not out, declaring the delivery a wide, as the ball had already passed into wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma’s gloves, and Sunil Narine had completed his shot, sparking on-field controversy. According to MCC’s cricket laws, if the bails fall after the delivery is complete, the batter is not out. The decision was based on Law 35.2, which states that a batter is only dismissed hit-wicket if the ball is still in play when the incident occurs. Read more: BCCI lifts...
