The cricketer has amassed 3544 runs in 126 T20 matches played. Finn Allen (Photo Source: Twitter) New Zealand cricket team’s explosive opening batsman Finn Allen has secured a two-year contract with Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Perth Scorchers. It is worth noting that recently he had turned down New Zealand’s central contract to play more franchise cricket. So according to the latest guidelines of BBL, any franchise can now sign a contract of more than 1 year with any player. After this rule of BBL, teams will definitely get help in making their future strategy. Apart from the Scorchers, Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers have also released the list of pre-drafting players before the start of the upcoming season of their tournament. If the latest media reports are to be believed, West Indies’ Akil Hussain may join the Sixers very soon. Finn Allen will play for Perth Scorchers in BBL 2024-25 However, now that 25-year-old Finn Allen has turned down the central contract of the New Zealand cricket team, he will be seen playing with the Perth Scorchers in the upcoming BBL season. Due to this, he may miss playing for the Kiwi team in the white ball series against Sri Lanka at the end of December. So by adding Finn Allen, Perth Scorchers have tried to overcome the lack of an opening batsman in the last season. Because last season the team’s opening batsman Jack Crowley was able to score only 2 half-centuries in 6 innings. But now it will be interesting to see how Allen is going to perform for the franchise? If we tell you about Finn Allen’s T20 career, he has played a total of 126 matches in this format, in which he has scored a total of 3544 runs at an excellent strike rate of 168.60.

Now when New Zealand is looking for players for its team, openers Devon Conway and Finn Allen have taken a big decision regarding their central contracts. While Devon Conway has opted for a contingent contract, Finn Allen has turned down a central contract to focus more on franchise cricket opportunities. What did Devon Conway say about his contract Conway, 33, who has been selected for the Tests against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, has committed to all international matches for the next 12 months, except the white-ball series against Sri Lanka in January. Actually, Conway wants to play in SA20, the third edition of which is starting from January 9. He also said that his family is the main reason behind choosing a casual contract. He said on this- “First of all I would like to thank New Zealand Cricket for their cooperation in this process. The decision to walk away from the central contract has been a well-thought out one. I believe this is the best decision for me and my family at this time.” “I am excited to be part of the upcoming Test squad for the crucial phase of the ICC World Test Championship cycle and, if selected, also look forward to featuring in the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February next year.” Let us tell you that Trent Boult, Martin Guptill had walked away from the national contract in 2022 itself in search of franchise cricket opportunities, while Kane Williamson has taken this decision this year. What statement came from New Zealand Cricket “We are delighted with Devon’s decision to commit to the Blackcaps – he is a quality player who has made strong contributions to the squad over the last few years. It is important to have flexibility in our system to deal with some of the challenges presented by franchise cricket in the current environment – and this is another example of how we are working hard to retain our best players.”

So, the 27-year-old player has given a big statement about this and said that he does not like wicketkeeping at all and when he suffered a back injury, he started speaking more openly about this. Also, Phillips has clearly told the New Zealand Cricket Board that if they want to select him in the team as a wicketkeeper, then they should not select him.

Phillips further said- I got into the career boat with my skills and thankfully it worked out for me. I hate doing something with passion, but I will do the work that I enjoy. On the other hand, this change has been seen in Phillips’ game as well. As a wicketkeeper, his average in T20 format is 18.4 and strike rate is 117.94.

New Zealand cricket is going in a slightly different direction at the moment: Tom Latham disappointed with experienced players pulling out of central contracts

Tom Latham. (Photo by JEREMY NG/AFP via Getty Images) New Zealand’s performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was very poor and the team could not secure its place in the semi-finals. After being out of this important tournament, veteran player Kane Williamson resigned from the post of captaincy and also withdrew from the central contract. Kane Williamson wants to participate in as much franchise cricket as possible but at the same time he has also said that whenever the New Zealand team needs him, he will be seen playing for his country. Not only Kane Williamson but New Zealand’s Trent Boult, Adam Milne and Lockie Ferguson have also removed their names from the central contract. Tom Latham, who may be seen captaining New Zealand in ODIs, gave his opinion on the recent trend. Tom Latham said that cricket is going in a different route for New Zealand at this time. He said that whenever experienced players return to the team, it will be really great to see them playing, but apart from that, the central contract of the players is a matter of concern at this time. According to ESPNcricinfo, Tom Latham said, ‘It seems to me that the direction New Zealand cricket is heading to right now is a slightly different place. Franchise leagues are coming up rapidly and this is affecting New Zealand cricket a lot. Everyone is in different boats and it seems very difficult to understand their future at this time.’ Tom Latham put forward his side regarding the captaincy of the New Zealand team Tom Latham further said, ‘We have a lot of cricket to play this summer and the Champions Trophy will also be held and I am eagerly waiting for it. It will be great whenever the old players return to the team but at the moment things are not going well regarding their future. If I am given the captaincy, I will feel honoured. Getting the captaincy of the New Zealand team will be a big thing for me. For me the team comes first. If I get this opportunity, I will feel very happy. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Match tied, super over tied, ICC changed the rule, on this day in 2019 World Cup, England became champion by defeating New Zealand
England defeated New Zealand in the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup. ODI World Cup 2019 (Photo Source: Getty Images) Hardly anyone would have forgotten the final of the 2019 ODI World Cup. Although there have been many controversial matches in the history of cricket till date, but the final match of the ODI World Cup 2023 was the only match that forced the ICC to change its rules. The final of the 2023 World Cup was played between England and New Zealand, where hosts England defeated the Kiwis by 0 runs. Now the first question that must have come to your mind is how can a team win or lose by 0 runs? So for your information, all this happened because of the controversial rule of ICC. After this tournament, ICC had to change this rule. Let us tell you what happened in that match. This was the situation of 2019 ODI World Cup In fact, in that match, New Zealand batted first and scored 241 runs in the stipulated 50 overs. Henry Nicholls was the only Kiwi batsman who managed to cross the 50-run mark, he scored 55 runs in 77 balls. England, who came out to chase this score, at one point lost 4 wickets for 86 runs in the form of Jason Roy, Joe Root, Johnny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan. After this, Ben Stokes and Jos Butler made a 110-run partnership for the 5th wicket and brought England back into the match. In the 45th over, Lockie Ferguson brought New Zealand back into the match by dismissing Butler on a personal score of 59. In the last over, England needed 15 runs to win and had two wickets in hand. Trent Bolt did not give any runs on the first two balls of the last over, so the pressure was increasing on England. Stokes kept his team alive in the match by hitting a six towards mid-wicket on the third ball. On the fourth ball, something happened which no one could believe. Stokes tried to take two runs by playing a shot towards deep mid-wicket, Martin Guptill who was present there tried to make a direct throw which hit Stokes’ bat and went straight across the boundary. The umpire gave a total of 6 runs on this ball (2 runs by running and 4 boundaries). There again the match seemed to be going in England’s favour. However, New Zealand still did not give up. Bolt bowled a wide yorker on the fifth ball on which Stokes wanted to take two runs, but Adil Rashid standing at the non-striker’s end got out. The situation on the last ball was such that England needed 2 runs to win and New Zealand was one wicket away from victory. A similar scene was seen on the last ball as well. Stokes wanted to take two runs by playing lightly, but Mark Wood, who came at the non-striker’s end, could not reach the crease in time and the match was tied and went into the over. England became champion…
