A brand-new season of Major League Cricket is about to start; only a few hours to go before the inauguration. Like the previous seasons, this year too cricket fans will enjoy this franchise league after the conclusion of IPL 2025. Through this article, we'll decode the squads of all 6 MLC teams and will try to project a chart according to the strength of the teams from low to high. 

A brief detail of all MLC teams:

Seattle Orcas:

In the previous season they finished at the bottom of the points table, and this year, their squad is not looking very promising. Despite the presence of Heinrich Klaasen or David Warner, a lack of proven talent can cause them another setback. 

Squad: Heinrich Klaasen (c), David Warner, Aaron Jones, Steven Taylor, Shimron Hetmyer, Rahul Jariwala, Shayan Jahangir, Sikandar Raza, Gulbadin Naib, Ali Sheikh, Kyle Mayers, Sujit Nayak, Harmeet Singh, Cameron Gannon, Jasdeep Singh, Obed McCoy, Waqar Salamkheil, Fazahaq Farooqi, and Ayan Desai.

San Francisco Unicorns:

A blend of power hitters and experienced candidates in the batting lineup can cause disturbance for the opposing teams. But the Unicorns' bowling department is far from balanced, especially their spin bowling column. If the batteries remain off, then they can face serious problems. 

Squad: Corey Anderson (c), Finn Allen, Matthew Short, Juanoy Drysdale, Romario Shepherd, Xavier Bartlett, Haris Rauf, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Tim Seifert, Callum Stow, Liam Plunkett, Brody Couch, Carmi le Roux, Hassan Khan, Cooper Connolly, Karima Gore, Hammad Azam, Achilles Browne.

Washington Freedom:

The defending champion will try their best to hold the title with a strong batting side on paper. But the team led by Glenn Maxwell may have to deal with inconsistency. As most of their star players were experiencing underwhelming performance in the recent past. So, Washington may need to buckle up for a more competitive season this year. 

Squad: Glenn Maxwell (c), Mukhtar Ahmed, Steven Smith, Mark Chapman, Saurabh Netravalkar, Amila Aponso, Abhishek Paradkar, Yasir Mohammad, Lockie Ferguson, Jason Behrendorff, Ben Sears, Obus Pienaar, Ian Holland, Justin Dill, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Jack Edwards, Mitch Owen, Andries Gous, and Lahiru Milantha.

MI New York:

One of the most consistent teams in the tournament. In both of the previous seasons, they qualified for the round of 4. But due to inconsistency, they have yet to win the title. With their new skipper Nicholas Pooran, MI will hope for a fresh start and balanced performance. Bowling and depth in the all-round department can be a major concern in this year's campaign. 

Squad: Nicholas Pooran (c), Kieron Pollard, Trent Boult, Monank Patel, Nosthush Kenjige, Heath Richards, Ehsan Adil, Sunny Patel, Rushil Ugarkar, George Linde, Quinton de Kock, Michael Bracewell, Naveen-ul-Haq, Kunwarjeet Singh, Sharad Lumba, Agni Chopra, Tajinder Singh.

Texas Super Kings:

The franchise has finished third in both MLC seasons but never qualified for the final match. On pen and paper their squad is looking pretty balanced with enough firepower in the batting and bowling departments. Super Kings can be a serious contender to win the trophy this time. 

Squad: Faf du Plessis (c), Devon Conway, Saiteja Mukkamalla, Smit Patel, Donovan Ferreira, Milind Kumar, Daryl Mitchell, Mohammad Mohsin, Shubham Ranjane, Joshua Tromp, Nandre Burger, Akeal Hosein, Adam Milne, Noor Ahmad, Calvin Savage, Zia-ul-Haq.

Los Angeles Knight Riders:

Knight Riders can be the dark horse to win MLC 2025. With a bunch of established T20 cricketers, if they can perform as a unit, then the purple team can look unstoppable. They have a balanced squad with star power in all sections. 

Squad: Adithya Ganesh, Ali Khan, Alex Hales, Andre Fletcher, Andre Russell, Anrich Nortje, Corne Dry, Jason Holder (c), Karthik Gattepalli, Matthew Tromp, Nitish Kumar, Rovman Powell, Saif Badar, Sherfane Rutherford, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Sunil Narine, Tanveer Sangha, Unmukt Chand, and Spencer Johnson.

The Los Angeles Knight Riders have officially appointed Jason Holder as captain for the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season. The franchise made the announcement on social media, looking forward to the veteran West Indian all-rounder leading the charge.

Holder, who has a history of captaining the West Indies across all three formats, brings with him a load of international experience and stoic leadership to LAKR. But he will not be available for the franchise's first two games of the season owing to international obligations. Meanwhile, fellow West Indies hero Sunil Narine will serve as stand-in captain during Holder's absence for the initial matches.

Narine, a seasoned T20 campaigner and a familiar face in the Knight Riders setup, will lead LAKR in their first two matches, ensuring continuity and leadership stability at the start of the campaign. Known for his tactical acumen and vast franchise cricket experience, Narine is expected to guide the team with confidence until Holder's arrival.

Jason Holder is set to report to the LAKR team prior to their third match, which is on June 17th versus Washington Freedom. His timing is important, as LAKR will be hoping to gain early momentum in what is turning out to be a competitive MLC season.

The Knight Riders franchise, with teams in various leagues around the world, such as the IPL and CPL, is traditionally known for supporting veteran international captains. Holder, leading the team, will look to enhance previous performances and fight for a playoff position in MLC 2025. The fans of the franchise will be waiting with bated breath for Holder's captaincy debut next month, while hoping that Narine gets the side off to a good start.

Squad of LAKR: Sunil Narine, Alex Hales, Said Badar, Nitish Kumar, Rovman Powell, Unmukt Chand, Andre Fletcher, Sherfane Rutherford, Adithiya Ganesh, Jason Holder(C), Corne Dry, Anrich Nortje, Ali Khan, Tanveer Sangha, Andre Russell, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Karthik Gattepalli, Matthew Tromp

<![CDATA[[WATCH] Kiwi pacer imitates India's 360 with a signature Supla Shot]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-kiwi-pacer-imitates-india-s-360-with-a-signature-supla-shot/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-kiwi-pacer-imitates-india-s-360-with-a-signature-supla-shot/ Tue, 10 Jun 2025 12:06:42 GMT

New Zealand quick Adam Milne was spotted practising with his Texas Super Kings (TSK) squad members during a routine training session for the upcoming edition of the Major Cricket League (MLC). Although bowling is his primary skill set, Milne, for a change, was getting some batting practice in the nets. 

In a recent video, which has now become viral, Milne brought back the memories of India's Suryakumar Yadav. Surya, also known as SKY, is highly regarded for his inventive strokeplay. The Kiwi pacer took a leaf out of his book and executed a near-flawless Supla Shot with his back foot up in the air.

Watch the video here:

That shot triggered an instant reaction from his Black Caps teammate Daryll Mitchell. Mitchell will also take part in the upcoming MLC tournament and will feature for the Texas Super Kings. He was accompanied by two other teammates, and they instantly started clapping and chanting "Shot Surya"

The Supla Shot is one of the classiest signature shots of Suryakumar Yadav. It is a shot which he has executed with incredible success in the limited-overs format, both domestically and internationally. With his power and excellent hand-eye coordination, Surya is comfortably able to deposit the ball over fine leg at will. 

But Milne made that shot look so easy while batting in the nets. Being a low-order batter, executing a shot like that is surely commendable and needs adequate appreciation. TSK's campaign will begin on June 14 when they take on MI New York in the second fixture of the MLC 2025 league. It will be Milne's maiden appearance in this league. Previously, the Kiwi pacer was seen in action in the recently concluded PSL. He featured in the final two games of the tournament for Karachi Kings and had very little success as he finished wicketless.

At the international level, Milne was last seen in action for the Black Caps in 2024. He played his last ODI match against Sri Lanka in Pallekele, which ended in a washout, whereas his last T20I appearance came against Australia at home, where he bagged figures of 1-20 in a rain-affected fixture which New Zealand went on to lose on DLS.

<![CDATA[Uncovering the truth behind Nicholas Pooran's retirement]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/uncovering-the-truth-behind-nicholas-pooran-s-retirement/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/uncovering-the-truth-behind-nicholas-pooran-s-retirement/ Tue, 10 Jun 2025 09:07:07 GMT

The Trinidad-born West Indian batting icon Nicholas Pooran has stunned the cricketing world by announcing his retirement from international cricket on Monday. This move from the 29-year-old left many cricketing pundits around the world puzzled. Pooran is currently in the midst of an exceptional run in white-ball cricket. In the 2025 IPL season alone, Pooran played some impactful cameos for LSG and showcased signs of extraordinary grit and determination. 

Being one of the most prolific and destructive cricketers at the franchise level, Pooran was also seen as a central figure in the West Indies' white ball setup. Experts certainly held the opinion that Pooran had a lot of international cricket left in him. With only 61 T20Is between 2016 and 2024, Pooran had a lot of untapped potential, and his absence from the squad is likely going to deflate the Men in Maroon at a time when they desperately need someone to turn the tide in their favor.

So, what could be the possible reasons behind Pooran's sudden retirement call? Let's delve deeper into some of the factors that probably must have influenced his decision.

The growing influence of IPL over international cricket

It goes without saying that Pooran has established himself as a powerful IPL icon. On the back of his quickfire knocks, Pooran has gained an unprecedented popularity and earned a reputation for being an entertainer. The IPL has become a key component of his cricketing career. Needless to say, the fat pay cheques he receives after every IPL game suffice all his needs, which the national cricketing board may struggle to comply with. It can be said for sure that being a part of the national squad would not have given him enough games, nor enriched his exposure to a level where he could be seen as a global icon. 

An abundance of lucrative franchise leagues worldwide 

The West Indies Cricket Board is going through a time of instability and is facing a whole world of other operational challenges that are limiting the growth opportunities of the players. At a time like this, players like Pooran look beyond international cricket and explore the possibility of featuring in numerous cash-rich leagues that often tend to provide players with a lot of stability and exposure. Pooran is an experienced campaigner at the franchise level and has participated in as many as 11 franchise leagues from around the world. Add to that, he has been more successful at the franchise level as opposed to the international level. He averages 29.47 and has a strike rate of over 150 with three centuries at the T20 franchise level format, whereas in T20I cricket, his average and strike rate plummet to 26.14 and 136.39, respectively.

Reduced involvement with WICB following his captaincy exit in 2022

Pooran's success as a white-ball captain for the Windies had been very limited. After being appointed as the skipper in 2022 across two white-ball formats, the team under him performed poorly and eventually crashed out of the T20 World Cup 2022. He subsequently decided to step down after the horror show, which also resulted in his decreased involvement with the board. His regular spot in the squad was not always guaranteed, and the swashbuckling batter felt that his opportunities were being restricted at the international level, thus leading to his shock retirement.

The scheduling conflict between the Men’s Hundred and Major League Cricket (MLC) has raised concerns among overseas players, potentially affecting their availability and participation in both leagues.

Overlapping Dates

MLC’s final overlaps with the knockout stage of the Hundred, leading to a schedule clash. With both leagues running simultaneously, overseas players face challenges honouring their commitments to their respective teams. The scheduling clash poses a dilemma for overseas players, who may be required to prioritize one league over the other due to logistical constraints and contractual obligations.

Player Recruitment: A Balancing Ac

Twelve of the 24 overseas players contracted for the Men’s Hundred have already committed to MLC, with more potential signings expected before the tournaments commence. This dual commitment complicates team selections and strategies for both leagues.

While most overseas players may choose to honour their contracts with MLC until their respective franchises are eliminated, some may prioritize the Hundred, depending on team requirements and individual preferences.

Star Attractions: Impact on Star Power

The clash between the Hundred and MLC could result in the absence of key overseas players during the opening fixtures of the Hundred. Teams like Southern Brave may need more than multiple star players, affecting their performance and balance.

Financial Considerations: Player Wages and Incentives

MLC offered higher player wages compared to the Men’s Hundred last year, potentially influencing players’ decisions regarding league priorities. The financial aspect plays a crucial role in determining player commitments and loyalties.

While MLC boasted top salaries of around US$175,000 for a minimum of five games, the Men’s Hundred offered lower wages, with the top salary capped at £125,000 for a minimum of eight games. This wage gap may influence players’ choices regarding league preferences.
