Leicestershire have confirmed that West Indies batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan will return as the club's overseas player next season and have also signed bowler Charlie Shreck on a one-year contract.

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - RECENT charges laid against former St. Kitts and Leeward Islands captain Steve Liburd are expected to be withdrawn soon.

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - THE Warner Park Cricket Stadium in St. Kitts is in the frame to be considered host for the Semi-Finals and Finals of the second edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in 2014.
CPL’s Chief Operating Officer Pete Russell told SKNVibes Sports that the Federation is almost certain to host games in the 2014 tournament. “It is down to the government." he said.
But Russell was more cautious when asked about a CPL team for St Kitts, saying “not necessarily this year. I think that if opportunities arise in the future it will be considered. What has been great has been the enthusiasm shown in CPL, so we are hopeful that we can have those discussions.”
India, Australia and England -the self-proclaimed 'Big Three' -- are close to officially becoming the super boys of world cricket. If reports are to be believed, the 'rebel' group is slowly losing its 'unity' and the Big Three is surely but steadily en route to securing the votes needed to push their ambitious revamp plans through, according to NDTV.
Although no Board has officially put pen to paper, several top officials on the Executive Board and representing their nations at the ICC, have, on record, nodded in approval of the proposed changes that give the Big Three supreme control in the way cricket will be played from 2015 and revenue from the game shared in accordance to the commercial 'value' a Test-playing nation brings on the table.
