CRICKET NEWS SEASON OF 9 MAY 2011................
Also-rans clash in low-key match...............
Both these teams know that they are all-but-mathematically eliminated from the race for the play-offs. That makes the task of motivating the teams even harder for two captains who haven't had the best of times in the IPL, Yuvraj Singh and Kumar Sangakkara. The two were team-mates during the first three seasons at Kings XI Punjab, a team which floundered in 2010 and the dismal form has continued for them this season as well.
Sinking Punjab run into ruthless Mumbai
When Kings XI Punjab last won an IPL game - against Rajasthan Royals on April 21 - Osama Bin Laden was still alive, and Chris Gayle was yet to arrive in India. A lot has happened since, and it's fair to say Adam Gilchrist's men are running out of time.
Sehwag to undergo shoulder surgery, out of IPL
Virender Sehwag will miss the rest of the IPL after deciding to undergo surgery on his injured right shoulder. The operation will take place later this week and, with recovery time pegged at six to eight weeks, it should rule him out of India's upcoming tour of the West Indies from June 4, and perhaps even the England series that begins in mid-July.
Sri Lanka Premier League to have seven teams
The first edition of the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) will be a seven-team inter-provincial tournament played over approximately 18 days at the end of July and the beginning of August this year. The teams will play each other once, with the top four teams qualifying for the semi-finals. All the games will be played the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and the winner of the tournament
