Sri Lankan Cricketer Nuvan Tushara Apologizes to Cricket Board After IPL 2026 Participation Dispute Nuvan Tushara, a fast bowler for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, has apologized to the Sri Lankan Cricket Board (SLCB) after a legal dispute over his participation in the tournament. The cricketer initially filed a case in court against the SLCB, which had denied him an NOC (No Objection Certificate) for playing in the IPL. However, Tushara later withdrew his case and expressed regret for the legal action, stating that his intention was never to cause inconvenience to the board. The SLCB had rejected Tushara’s request for an NOC, citing a failed fitness test as the reason. Tushara, however, claimed that his actions were driven by a desire for fairness and justice, as he felt he had been treated unfairly by the board. The case was initially dismissed by the SLCB, but Tushara took the matter to court. The court scheduled a hearing for April 23, 2026, to address the dispute. Tushara, who has played 30 T20 Internationals since 2022, is a key player for RCB in the IPL 2026 season. He had previously participated in the IPL in 2024 and 2025, and his inclusion in the tournament was expected to bolster RCB’s bowling attack. The SLCB’s decision to block his participation has raised questions about the board’s policies on player eligibility and the balance between national commitments and international competitions. The dispute highlights the growing tensions between cricketing boards and players seeking opportunities in global leagues like the IPL.#ipl_2026 #royal_challengers_bangalore #lakhn_super_giants #nuvan_tushara #sri_lankan_cricket_board
Cheating In LSG VS SRH Match The controversy surrounding the LSG vs SRH match sparked widespread debate on social media, with allegations of unfair play emerging after the game concluded. Lakhnऊ Super Giants (LSG) secured a narrow 5-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), but the final over of the match became the focal point of scrutiny. According to reports, LSG’s batsman, Rishabh Pant, faced a critical moment when his team needed just one run to win. In the final over, Pant faced a delivery from SRH’s bowler, Avesh Khan. The ball was hit towards the boundary, but before it crossed the line, Avesh Khan, who was part of the batting team, intervened. The incident occurred as the ball was still in play, with Khan using his bat to stop the ball from crossing the boundary. This action raised questions about the fairness of the play, as Khan was not part of the fielding team at that moment. The controversy intensified after the match, with social media users claiming the incident violated ICC rules. According to ICC guidelines, if a ball is stopped by a player from the batting team before it crosses the boundary, it is considered an unfair act. The rules also state that if such an incident occurs, the umpire should declare the ball dead and impose a penalty. However, in this case, the umpires did not take any action, leading to accusations of a deliberate attempt to manipulate the outcome. Avesh Khan’s intervention was seen as a critical moment that could have altered the match’s result. If the ball had crossed the boundary, SRH would have lost the match, but the intervention prevented that. Critics argued that the incident was a clear case of cheating, with LSG’s team benefiting from an unfair advantage.#icc #sunrisers_hyderabad #rishabh_pant #avesh_khan #lakhn_super_giants
