Cricket Today: Ishan Kishan Leads SRH, MCC Agha Row & Livingstone Out

 Nine days before IPL 2026 begins, cricket's biggest stories are coming thick and fast — captaincy changes, injury crises, a landmark ruling on one of the ODI series' most controversial moments, and a major England cricketer calling time on his international career.

Here is everything you need to know from March 19, 2026 — in one place.

Abrar Ahmed & Sunrisers Leeds: The Full Story — From Auction to Chaos

 One signing. One auction. One week of chaos that has consumed cricket's biggest talking points — and it still is not over.

On March 12, 2026, Sunrisers Leeds — the Headingley-based Hundred franchise owned by India's Sun Group, the same conglomerate that runs Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL — paid £190,000 (approximately ₹2.34 crore) for Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed at the inaugural Men's Hundred auction in London. Six days later, cricket's biggest off-field story is still developing — with a legendary Indian cricketer calling the signing "blood money," a suspended and then restored X account, an Indian board washing its hands of the issue, a Pakistani-origin cricketer fighting back, and a very real question over whether Abrar will even set foot on English soil this summer.

Here is the complete story — from the very beginning to where things stand right now.

Pakistan bounced back brilliantly in Mirpur. KKR's bowling attack is falling apart before IPL 2026 even begins. An Indian-owned franchise has broken cricket's biggest unwritten rule by signing a Pakistani player — and their Twitter account has been suspended as a consequence. And tomorrow, India's greatest cricketers will gather in New Delhi for the BCCI Naman Awards, the most star-studded cricket ceremony of the year.
