Both Oval Invincibles captains from the 2025 season have said that they were released back into the auction pool without any contact from the franchise’s new ownership, with the team now rebranded to MI London

My stress dream last night — I was somehow in another remake of The Producers but I couldn’t see the point, which did not go down well.

Well you’ve got to admit that vigorous boycotts and demos against half the teams in the Hundred will add to the sense of spectacle.

The Hundred: IPL-linked teams 'not considering Pakistan players' Four sides in The Hundred with links to the IPL are not expected to sign players from Pakistan in next month's auction.

Why I’ve read @PrivateEyeNews since I was 15. I got my copy on Tuesday, Andrew arrested Thursday. Inside it reminds us it raised concerns in 2009 about Mandelson discussing affairs of state with Epstein and a news item on Charles saying he would assist police with their enquiries. All for £2.99

Amazing the number of BBC presenters — *BBC PRESENTERS*— who in 2026 say BARack instead of BarACK.
