I am not sure if you checked the correct site because if you open espncricinfo.com, the PSL is covered by cricinfo as all the other big tournaments are covered.

I was not talking about the scorecard. There was very little coverage in terms of articles and newsfeed. In the main section, there was no mention about PSL. When I saw the post here regarding the resumption of PSL, I went to cricinfo to confirm it. It took some time to find an article related to this news. Even now, there is no mention about PSL in the "News Headlines" section or the main page.

Cricinfo give the data according to your region and preferences. I don't know from which country do you belong but according to my location, the PK Edition is filled will all PSL news and headlines.

You can see or select your region as below.

It was a surprising decision by the PCB, to resume this season's PSL after 8 months. I don't think that it will result in any financial benefit to the PCB, but they may be obliged to complete the schedule due to contract obligations with their TV partners and sponsors. Not much coverage about these matches in the media, BTW.

It is good to see that PCB is able to resume the tournament after 8 months and it might be because of media and sponsors obligation but what i always wonder is that why they are not having the same exposure as BCCI when it comes to TV partnerships and sponsors and PSL might make some changes in the future as it might attract sponsors if the competition is good.

Great moment for the Pakistani Umpire Aleem Dar to make a new world record of most ODI matches officiated by him.

Aleem Dar set to break record for most ODIs as on-field umpire

It is a huge achievement. Umpiring is a tedious profession and all of us appreciate the hard work they put in. Even now, the top tier umpires receive only 1/10th or 1/20th of the salary that an average international player receives. Aleem Dar made his debut in 2000, at the age of 32. It has been a career spanning more than two decades, and he had his ups and downs. I hope he will be in action for at least one more decade.

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, he was a great person for cricket and helped a lot of young players in India where he did coaching for many years and was well respected by a lot of players. He will be missed by the cricket community.

The younger generation remember him as an expert commentator. He played his last test in 1992, and only the older generation remember his playing days. That said he was very active in the commentatory teams and as you mentioned in the coaching department. He coached the Islamabad United in PSL, and they won two championships during his term.

Australian cricket lost a legend today with the passing of Dean Jones. He basically made cricket fun to watch back then as he was an attacking batsman and played like a T20 game. He will be remembered for this and for the tied test match against India. RIP

I was shocked to hear about this when the commentators mentioned it before the start of the KXIP vs RCB match yesterday. The players were wearing black armbands and I was wondering why. Then one of the commentators mentioned that they were doing it out of respect for Deano. He was just 59 years old. Always loved his commentary, and he will be sorely missed by all the cricket fans.

Had Raina, maybe CSK's team would have been more balanced. But not having Raina is not a big problem. The current team combination has been much better. Players like Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Faf Duplessis, and Ms Dhoni can turn the game around at any time. So I don't think Raina will have much of an impact on the team.

I don't know whether Raina could have made a big difference. The main problem with CSK is that they have a squad where the average age is close to 35. This will definitely have an impact, when they need to step up the momentum. I can understand CSK including players such as Dhoni and Harbhajan in their squad, as they are legendary players. But what is the point in giving so much importance to players such as Kedar Jadhav?

I do not think there will be requirement for Raina but his experience in middle order and in crucial stages does help the team. At the moment if he comes back he will need to sit for sometime now.

Raina is someone who is capable of scoring runs quickly. CSK needs someone like him in the middle order. During the last match, both Rayudu and du Plessis scored the runs for them, but if not for Sam Curran they could have lost the match. Du Plessis in particular was scoring runs very slowly, as he made runs at a strike rate of 132. It is understandable, considering the fact that almost half of the squad is aged around 35 years.

^^^ Do they need Raina? With the CSK middle order (Faf du Plessis / Ambati Rayudu / Ravindra Jadeja / Sam Curran) in such splendid form, even of Raina is back it will be quite difficult for the selectors to accommodate him in the playing XI. One option is to drop either Shane Watson or Murali Vijay. But these two are like icon players for CSK and the selectors will be hesitant to take that step.

However Raina will play this season game, what Dhoni has revealed is a start point to take him into the team. Raina is a strong player at the middle order and for the critical match situation when there is continued fall of wickets. CSK has made a strong start, but based on the upcoming few match stats changes can happen with the entry of Raina.

@Ayiranorea where did you read that Ms Dhoni has indicated that Raina is coming back, because there’s no update regarding Raina joining CSK anytime soon. Also all the media reports are showing that the former Indian captain (Ms Dhoni) has taken a dig at Raina, saying that as cricketers we criticise a lot, and here the we is understood to be directed at Raina, so I don’t think that now Raina will come back at least for this season.

CSK needs someone who is capable of scoring at 1.5 runs per over in the middle overs and I think Raina is perfect for this spot. Even in the match against MI, they faced a lot of difficulty in stepping up the scoring rate. Both du Plessis and Rayudu had strike rate lower than 150. And without the fireworks from Sam Curran towards the end, they could have easily lost the match.

If the motive was robbery, then those who died must have resisted against them and they killed them. But the reason of this incident is not related to Raina cricket background or those who killed raina relatives does not have anything personal with him ? I mean to say that raina was not the root cause of this incident ?

More drama regarding Raina from the CSK. Yesterday, Raina made a statement claiming that it is "unimaginable" that he is not with CSK. A few hours later, Mahendra Singh Dhoni during the post-match ceremony made clear that he was not happy with Raina's decision to pull out from the tournament. Dhoni never mentioned Raina's name, but media was claiming that he was the target.

Why is Raina targeted like this, i thought he was just a cricket player, are these political attacks or regional discrimination, why would anyone attack someone from Kashmir. Srinivasan is the owner of a team and if he is spending money on a player he has the rights to comment on his investment and during a pandemic phase they will find it hard to find a player to replace them.

Some of the media sources are claiming that the motive was robbery. It is highly suspect, given that the village was located in a high-security zone. Also, even the relatives of the victims were kept in the dark by the cops, who refused to divulge much details about the attack. And talking about Srinivasan, he has the right to criticize the players. But not at a time when they are mourning the death of their loved ones. I would regard that as inhuman behaviour.
