For nearly a decade, the Pakistan Super League has lived by a familiar rhythm: six teams, a tight window, controlled chaos. But stability, in cricket leagues, often masks pressure building underneath. In 2026, that pressure finally finds release. The PSL is expanding to eight teams, the biggest structural change since the league’s birth in 2016. […]

Day three at the SCG was supposed to be a contest. Instead, it felt like a slow, public unravelling of England’s Ashes philosophy. Not just a bad day, England have had plenty of those this series, but a revealing one. A day where cheerful defiance curdled into performative optimism, and where Australia’s two most contrasting […]
Cricket has always rewarded those who bend its rules without quite breaking them. Glenn Phillips, however, seems determined to bend himself instead. In a sport obsessed with match-ups, Phillips occasionally forgets the most basic one of all: which hand he bats with. Two days before the New Year, during New Zealand’s Super Smash, he took […]
Test cricket has a funny way of revealing truth under pressure. In the Ashes 2025–26, while England searched desperately for control, Australia found clarity at the very top.
