The retention lists of all ten franchises for the <keyword id="6354831" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Premier-League" source="Orion">Indian Premier League</keyword> (<keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="IPL" source="Orion">IPL</keyword>) season next year were finally unveiled on Thursday, with several big names like Jos Buttler, Aiden Markram, Glenn Maxwell, Faf Du Plessis, KL Rahul, Rishabh <keyword id="19900230" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pant" source="keywords">Pant</keyword>, <keyword id="19904097" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="shreyas-iyer" source="keywords">Shreyas Iyer</keyword> etc being let go by their respective franchises. The surprising retentions and releases by all ten franchises have laid down the foundation for what could be an exciting, fun and record-breaking auction later this year. Let us look at several takeways from the auction: <h2>Several captaincy options available</h2> With the release of IPL winning skipper Shreyas Iyer from Kolkata Knight Riders (<keyword id="19924483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kkr" source="keywords">KKR</keyword>), Rishabh Pant from Delhi Capitals (DC) and KL Rahul from Lucknow Super Giants, three top-class Indian captaincy options are available. <h2>Auction could be defined by wicketkeepers pulling double/triple duties</h2>The announcement of retention lists have seen many wicketkeeping options being released by their respective franchises, including Pant (from DC), KL (from LSG), Ishan Kishan (from Mumbai Indians) and Jos Buttler (from Rajasthan Royals). With all of them having captaincy experience at various levels, including international <keyword id="1521" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cricket" source="Orion">cricket</keyword> in case of Pant, KL and Buttler, several teams could go after them. Their experience and strong records as wicketkeepers and top-order batters, particularly opening except for Pant, will help teams find a captain, wicketkeeper and an opener in just one player and save them plenty of money. <h2>No English players retained? Could withdrawing/not playing full season be a cause?</h2> No England players have been retained by franchises this team around. Various stars players like Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Will Jacks etc have been let go. These players missed out some part of their season due to international commitments, while Harry Brook pulled out due to personal reasons. England batter Jason Roy pulled out of IPL ahead of this season due to personal reasons. These all developments damaged the team balance at times, with several teams dependent on their overseas talent. Has the habit of not honouring contracts and missing matches caused this move? The hammer strikes at auction could answer this question. <h2>Caribbean power trusted ahead of mega auction</h2>Four of current top West Indies stars, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Andre <keyword id="20287010" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="russell" source="keywords">Russell</keyword> and Sunil Narine have been retained by their respective franchises. Pooran has dominated the T20 run charts this year, scoring a record-setting 2,251 runs in 68 matches with a century and 15 fifties at a strike rate of 160.90. Hetmyer is one of the best finishers in T20 circuit and Rajasthan Royals trusts in his abilities. Russell (222 runs in nine matches and 19 wickets) and Narine (488 runs and 17 wickets) have also been reaped rewards for their title winning performances last season and their loyalty to KKR brand. While seven West Indies talents have been released, namely, Shai Hope, Sherfane Rutherford, Kyle Mayers, Shamar Joseph, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph and Rovman Powell, the four modern-day T20 greats keeping their spots safe with the franchise shows how much trust franchise has in Caribbean power. And who knows, the released names could get brought using right-to-match card or find a new home at a higher price. <h2>Another setback for Ishan Kishan?</h2> Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) placed their trust in Indian core, consisting of skipper Hardik Pandya, former captain Rohit Sharma, pacer Jasprit Bumrah, 360-degree hitter Suryakumar Yadav and young left-hander Tilak Varma. It was expected that Ishan could retain his place, given his youth and experience with the franchise. Aged just 26, he had spent seven seasons with the franchise and did reasonably well. However, after being brought for Rs 15.25 crores ahead of 2022 season, the price tag seemed to have caught up with Kishan. In next 44 matches for the franchise till the 2024-season-end, Kishan scored 1,192 runs in 43 innings at an average of 28.98, with just seven fifties. While these numbers are not bad, it could be debatable that he did not deliver as per expectations, with 19 scores being below 20. In the 2024 season, he could score just 320 runs at an average of just over 22, with just a fifty to his name. After being excluded from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) central contract this year after not participating for red-ball cricket, this is another big setback for Kishan, who has not been considered for international cricket despite participating and doing well in red-ball tournaments like Buchi Babu Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Ranji Trophy recently. <h2>DC era 2.0 on cards?</h2> With wicketkeeper-batter and biggest superstar of the franchise, Pant released from the franchise and looking for a new franchise as per several media reports, Delhi Capitals could be moving to their 2.0 era, placing trust in young, under-the radar names like Axar Patel (235 runs with two fifties and 11 wickets in 2024), Tristan Stubbs (378 runs with three fifties and three wickets), Abhishek Porel (327 runs with two fifties) and Kuldeep Yadav (16 wickets at an average of 23.25) after good performances last year. Franchise has also released big time stars like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Anrich Nortje, Prithvi Shaw. Could this be the start of a new era for DC? Only time will tell. <h2>Shreyas Iyer joins unfortunate list of captains</h2>The IPL winning captain Shreyas Iyer has been let go after winning the title for his franchise KKR this year, their first in a decade and overall third. While many argue his batting stats of 351 runs in 14 innings with two fifties at a strike rate of 146.86 could be a reason behind his release, the other half of the story is that the in-form KKR top-order did not leave the middle-order with much to do. His recurring fitness issues, which caused him to miss 2023 season, also could be a reason. Irrespective of what the reason could be, one thing is for sure, Iyer is up there with likes of Adam Gilchrist (released by Deccan Chargers in 2011 after title win in 2009, semifinal finish in 2010), David Warner (released by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of 2022 season despite 2016 title win and multiple playoff finishes) as one of the most unluckiest captains in IPL. <h2>Strong faith in Indian uncapped/inexperienced stars</h2>The franchises have been extremely bold this time around, opting to release experienced, household Indian/overseas names and placing their trust in several Indian uncapped/inexperienced players. Out of a total of 46 players retained across all franchises, 36 players are Indian. Out of these, 10 players are uncapped Indians stars. These players are Abhishek Porel, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran Singh, Yash Dayal. Also, out of other 24 capped Indians, 13 players have played less than 30 international matches and eight have played 10 or less international games for India. Of these 24 uncapped players, no one has all format experience for India and only two have Test cricket experience, Dhruv Jurel and <keyword id="20022019" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rajat-patidar" source="keywords">Rajat Patidar</keyword>. Notably, it is Jurel, who has just played international matches for India, who has received the biggest pay hike, going from Rs 20 lakh this season to Rs 14 crores next season. <h2>End of 'KGF' era for Royal Challengers Bengaluru?</h2> With stars like Faf and Maxwell released, it could spell the end of 'Kohli, Glenn, Faf' (KGF) era for <keyword id="20282652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rcb" source="keywords">RCB</keyword>, which lasted from 2022-24. During this phase, they all scored heavily for RCB. Despite a lull in 2022 season, Virat scored 1,721 runs in 45 matches and innings at an average of 44.12, with three centuries and 13 fifties. Skipper Faf also scored 1,636 runs in 45 innings at an average of 38.05, with a strike rate of 146.99 and 15 fifties to his name. Maxwell sits at the third spot with 1,266 runs at an average of 28.77 and a strike rate of over 159, with 12 half-centuries in 50 innings. The only player that came closer to the trio was Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik, who made 796 runs in 44 matches and 42 innings at an average of 29.48, with three fifties. If RCB had Virat-AB de Villiers-Chris Gayle in 2010s, KGF dominated the RCB batting numbers in 2020s. When RCB starts rebuilding their side from scratch in the auction, they would have a huge task in hand of finding one or two highly popular, capable and consistent foreign stars to help Virat unleash the carnage in a "Play Bold" avatar. Also, with the Rajat Patidar being retained for 11 crores, RCB might have made it clear that he could be the next big Indian batter the franchise invests in. His exceptional spin abilities have made a lot of difference for the side. Ever since he was brought by the franchise in 2021 for Rs 20 lakh, Patidar has played 27 matches, scoring 799 runs at an average of 34.73 with a strike rate of 158.84 and having registered a century and seven fifties. A complete list of retained players is as follows: <ul><li>Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni</li><li>Delhi Capitals: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Porel</li><li>Gujarat Titans: Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan</li><li>Kolkata Knight Riders: Rinku Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Ramandeep Singh</li><li>Lucknow Super Giants: Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni</li><li>Mumbai Indians: Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma</li><li>Punjab Kings: Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran Singh</li><li>Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Sandeep Sharma</li><li>Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal</li><li>Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head.</li></ul>

From spotlight on uncapped stars to big releases, a look at key takeways from latest IPL retention lists

To understand it, we need to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/25/business/china-housing-crisis-nanchang.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rewind to the late 1990s when China started witnessing a decades-long boom</a> in its real-estate sector. The sector got so big that it — along with related industries — contributes as much as <a href="https://www.cfr.org/blog/pboc-props-chinas-housing-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30% to the country's GDP,</a> per a report from <a href="https://www.caixabankresearch.com/en/sector-analysis/real-estate/chinas-real-estate-sector-size-does-matter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spain's Caixa Bank</a> in January 2022. But the property craze was also fueled by debt. The market was so hot that Chinese developers were taking on huge borrowings to build apartments ahead of demand. In fact, property developers built so many apartments that one-fifth of the homes in China were empty, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-empty-homes-real-estate-evergrande-housing-market-problem-2021-10">Insider's Lina Batarags reported in October 2021.</a>Expectedly, Beijing has tried to cool the frothy market for years — and it did seem as if the sector would get some respite when it experienced <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2af87f46-5b3a-11e4-a674-00144feab7de" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a downturn in 2014.</a> However, Chinese <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/QCNR628BIS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home prices</a> started climbing persistently from 2015 onward, fuelling renewed concerns over an asset bubble that was making <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-28/-1-3-trillion-china-housing-crackdown-hasn-t-fixed-unaffordable-property-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">property prices unaffordable</a> for ordinary people .To manage risks and affordability, Beijing started cracking down on the sector by introducing the so-called<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-06/china-may-ease-three-red-lines-property-rules-in-drastic-shift" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"> "three red lines" policy</a> regulating debt ratios for property developers. This measure was introduced in August 2020 to limit the amount of money property developers could borrow.The debt ratios worked — but it started sending the property <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-property-sector-crisis-imf-economy-debt-2023-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sector into a crisis</a> in 2021 when property giant <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/latest-news-4-questions-that-explain-chinas-troubled-housing-market-2021-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Evergrande ran into a debt spiral</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-xi-jinping-evergrande-debt-american-world-fallout-2021-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">.</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/evergrande-crisis-other-china-property-developers-in-trouble-outlook-2021-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Other Chinese real-estate developers</a> ran into similar issues, and the sector started to <a href="https://www.caixinglobal.com/2023-07-31/cover-story-chinas-property-crisis-contagion-spreads-to-state-backed-developers-102087880.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">default on its bond payments.</a>In the background, there were concerns that China's property crisis could spill over into the broader domestic and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-xi-jinping-evergrande-debt-american-world-fallout-2021-10">global economy.</a>"There are only a handful of private sector players in the housing market that are left surviving, meaning they have not defaulted on their bonds," Bo Zhuang, a senior sovereign analyst at Loomis Sayles, told Insider."So I will say the private sector has overly deleveraged in a short period of time," he added.<h2>Now, China's trying to reverse years of crackdowns to boost its flagging economy </h2>It didn't help that China's real-estate slowdown also came at a time when the country was still grappling with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-zero-covid-policy-lockdowns-global-economy-vaccine-treatments-pandemic-2022-8">on-off COVID-19 lockdowns</a>, which hit growth. In 2022, China's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-developers-accepting-wheat-garlic-farmer-down-payments-homes-2022-7">economy grew 3%</a> — well below its official 5.5% target, intensifying the drag on the property sector.And the overall market slump has begun to seep into the property sector. The situation is so dire now that a developer in eastern China <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-property-developer-luring-home-buyers-gold-bars-2023-6">offered free gold bars to homebuyers.</a> Another project in the same region is also offering a BOGO deal for those buying an entire floor of apartments, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Property/Buy-one-floor-get-one-free-China-s-real-estate-slump-deepens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikkei</a> reported on Wednesday.Now Beijing's primarily looking to stabilize the property market through consumption rather than stimulating supply. This pivot is because it needs to shore up the sector but wants to prevent the "Japanification" of its real-asset sector, Zhuang told Insider, referring to Japan's economic stagnation since an <a href="https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/nft/2000/bubble/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asset bubble</a> burst in the early 1990s.To that end, Chinese authorities are trying to rev up consumers' demand instead.Last weekend, China's largest cities — including Beijing and Shenzhen — said they would implement measures to meet the needs of homebuyers, hoping this would support the property sector, per <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-biggest-cities-vow-introduce-steps-boost-property-sector-2023-07-31/?__cf_chl_rt_tk=6zDXJJGviCWg6vwUq6WIWZOCUXdIJLko71DM6GSlqYw-1690785184-0-gaNycGzNDfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Reuters.</a>On July 31, Beijing released a plan targeting the automobile, real estate, and services sectors that aim to "give full play to the fundamental role of consumption in economic development," according to Insider's translation of <a href="https://www.gov.cn/zhengce/content/202307/content_6895599.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">an official statement from the country's top planning agency.</a> They include subsidies for smart green home appliances and building materials in rural areas. However, "the steps have been timid, and the road map is still not quite clear," Nomura economists wrote in a July 31 note seen by Insider."While the recent moves by Beijing should be encouraged, markets need to curb their enthusiasm regarding the scale and impact of these easing measures," the note said.Consumers are also unlikely to be clamoring for new apartments amid broad economic uncertainty and record-high<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-gdp-economy-second-quarter-growth-retail-industrial-production-unemployment-2023-7"> youth unemployment rate and slower economic growth.</a> "Households have lost the 'animal spirit' because they are not willing to invest or speculate their future in the housing sector anymore. I will say they have permanent COVID scarring," said Loomis Sayles' Zhuang.

The most interesting part of China's stimulus announcement was the omission of a key phrase that ignited the 2020 crackdown on the real-estate sector

Chennai, In a surprise move, <keyword id="19896465" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ruturaj-gaikwad" source="keywords">Ruturaj Gaikwad</keyword> on Thursday replaced the legendary M S <keyword id="19896463" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dhoni" source="keywords">Dhoni</keyword> as the <keyword id="19906065" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="chennai-super-kings" source="keywords">Chennai Super Kings</keyword> captain as defending champions dropped a bombshell a day before the <keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ipl" source="keywords">IPL</keyword> opener. In a post on X, the Indian Premier League revealed the development, a day before CSK take on <keyword id="19920570" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="royal-challengers-bangalore" source="keywords">Royal Challengers Bangalore</keyword>. "Presenting @ChennaiIPL's Captain - @Ruutu1331," the IPL posted on X shortly after releasing a picture of all captains posing with the IPL trophy. Gaikwad, who has played six ODIs and 19 T20s for India, made his CSK debut in 2020 and has gone on to represent the five time IPL champions in 52 games. The stylish opener had a memorable run last year, aggregating 590 runs in 16 games at an impressive strike rate of 147.50. "<keyword id="19899524" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ms-dhoni" source="keywords">MS Dhoni</keyword> has handed over Chennai Super Kings' captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of the start of TATA IPL 2024. Ruturaj has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings since 2019 and has played 52 matches in IPL during this period," CSK said in a statement on their website. "The team looks forward to the upcoming season," the statement added. Dhoni is expected to retire at the end of the season and therefore the franchise felt the need for a smooth transition in Dhoni's presence as a player.

Gaikwad replaces Dhoni as CSK captain day before IPL opener

The legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be in the spotlight in what could be his final game at the iconic <keyword id="19921339" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wankhede-Stadium" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Wankhede Stadium" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Wankhede Stadium">Wankhede Stadium</keyword> when defending champions Chennai Super Kings take on Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday. Dhoni returns to the hallowed turf of Wankhede for the first time ever as a non-captain of the <keyword id="19896464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CSK" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="CSK" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="CSK">CSK</keyword>, potentially in his last <keyword id="19906063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="keywords">IPL</keyword> season. It will also be his first appearance as just a player for any team since November 2005. Even at 42, Dhoni's glove-work remains impeccable and so does his assessment of the game like always. But CSK will hope that his tactical acumen also helps them improve a dismal away record this season, having suffered two defeats on the road. CSK would also hope their recent record against <keyword id="20950501" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="MI" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="MI" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="MI">MI</keyword> - four wins in last five matches including their seven-wicket win here last season - holds them in good stead. Two of IPL's most successful teams with five titles each, both sides are witnessing a tectonic shift of leadership change with Hardik Pandya taking over the mantle from Rohit Sharma at MI and Ruturaj Gaikwad succeeding Dhoni at CSK, but there is nothing that suggests their intense rivalry would expect any such shift. If anything, CSK's bowlers could be put to sword by the rampaging MI batters who have gone hammer and tongs at the flat pitches here, scoring in excess of 230 against Delhi Capitals and chasing down nearly 200 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru with more than four overs to spare. Pandya's MI have found their footing after a jittery start. Their batters have done well in the last two outings and Suryakumar Yadav's 17-ball fifty against RCB provides an ominous sign to CSK bowlers, who have shown mastery on slow, turning pitches at the Chepauk but remain untested on flat, batting-friendly surfaces. Ishan Kishan (161 runs) and Rohit's opening stand would thus be crucial in the scheme of things but CSK would also have a lot of assurance with their own batting. Skipper Gaikwad may not be a marauder with the bat but he can be the silent enforcer in the CSK line-up, which has the exuberance of Rachin Ravindra at the top, sturdiness of Daryl Mitchell in the middle and explosiveness of Shivam Dube (176 runs), Ravindra Jadeja and Dhoni in the death overs. CSK would also be aware that seeing off the dexterous Jasprit Bumrah (10 wickets) and going after the rest of the MI bowling would be the key, since the others have given away runs at alarming rate while struggling with their line and lengths on placid surfaces. Despite Bumrah's five-wicket haul, MI leaked runs at a high rate to allow RCB get closer to the 200-run mark here a few nights ago. A lot will be riding on Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande for CSK, who both return to their home ground, but Mustafizur Rahman (9 wickets) and the wily Jadeja would be the ones to watch out for given their recent exploits. On their part, teams say "we want to get as many runs as possible" but by the look of it, scores around 220-230 while batting first could be the best way possible to ensure an upperhand at this venue.

MS Dhoni in spotlight as CSK and MI resume rivalry in new era

Happy Saturday, readers. I'm Phil Rosen. I'm eager to share <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">today's conversation</a> with a top strategist about changes to the current investing landscape — but first I have a question. Who should I speak to next? Any suggestions? Tweet me <a href="https://twitter.com/philrosenn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@philrosenn</a> or email me at <a href="mailto:prosen@insider.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prosen@insider.com</a> with your best recs on who you'd like to see in conversation. Now let's get to <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">today's Q and A</a>. If this was forwarded to you, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/subscription/newsletter/10-things-opening-bell">sign up here</a>. Download Insider's app <a href="https://www.insider.com/app">here.</a><a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3"></a>Seema Shah is the chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. This conversation has been lightly edited for length and clarity. Phil Rosen: Can you explain your use of the phrase "new era" for investing? Seema Shah: The key part of it is that we're not in an era of unlimited central bank liquidity. That is an environment which is very good for investors, even if economic growth isn't strong. <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">That was the post-Great Financial Crisis period</a>.Now we're in a very different landscape to the one we saw before, and making those kinds of returns is <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">going to be that much harder</a>. Investors can't just rest back on actions they got used to over the last 10 years.How do you think investors should approach stocks in the current landscape? SS: One of the key things would be <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">decreasing equity risk</a>. Just as stocks were a key beneficiary of the last era, they will be one of the key losers for the period going forward <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">as long as central banks keep policy very tight</a>. If you don't like stocks for the new era, what kind of investments would you recommend? SS: Real assets, like commodities and natural resources. There's always going to be volatility for a commodity, but if you're looking over the longer term, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">the picture of commodities is strong</a> simply because they're finite resources, and it's a similar story with natural resources.I also like <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">listed infrastructure</a>. Historically, in a period of low economic growth and higher-than-expected inflation, it outperforms global fixed income and global equities, almost <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">without exception</a>. <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-strategist-bonds-equities-investing-era-fed-rates-2023-3">Read the full story from our conversation.</a>What do you think of Shah's insights on the end of the easy-money era?

Former Australia pacer <keyword id="150099" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="jason-gillespie" source="Orion">Jason Gillespie</keyword> has questioned Pat <keyword id="113731" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="cummins" source="Orion">Cummins</keyword>' massive <keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ipl" source="Orion">IPL</keyword> price tag, saying T20 cricket is not the quick's best format but backed Mitchell <keyword id="1596377" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="starc" source="Orion">Starc</keyword>'s jaw-dropping Rs 24.75 crore deal. Cummins attracted the second highest paycheck in the auction in Dubai on Tuesday after an intense bidding war between Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, and <keyword id="1494441" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sunrisers-hyderabad" source="Orion">Sunrisers Hyderabad</keyword>, who shelled out a whopping Rs 20.50 crore for the Australian captain. "Pat's obviously a quality bowler and a quality leader, we've seen that. I just don't think T20 is his best format," Gillespie told SEN Radio. "I think he's a Test bowler, personally. I think Test cricket is his absolute bread and butter." It was not the first time that Cummins, who has 55 wickets in 50 T20I matches at an average of 24.54 and economy of 7.37 in T20Is, attracted huge sums at the IPL auction. Ahead of the 2020 edition, KKR had paid Rs 15.5 crore for his services. "He's a good T20 bowler, make no mistake. But that's massive overs for me," Gillespie added. A little over an hour after Cummins landed his deal, Starc surpassed his captain to become the costliest player in the IPL history as <keyword id="262945" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="kolkata-knight" source="Orion">Kolkata Knight</keyword> Riders spent a mind-boggling Rs 24.75 crores for the left-armer's services. Starc, who has usually prioritised international duty over playing in the IPL, has played only two seasons of the cash-rich league, taking 34 wickets in 27 games at an average of 20.38. "I think he's a great buy. It's a lot of money, we all acknowledge that, but the IPL is a very rich tournament... I'm absolutely delighted for Mitch. "I think it just highlights how important teams value left-arm fast bowling and left-arm swing bowling at pace," Gillespie said.

<ul><li>BCCI has postponed the <keyword id="7463791" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ipl-2020">IPL 2020</keyword> to April 15 due to the coronavirus outbreak.</li><li>Franchise owners are expected to meet BCCI officials on Saturday.</li></ul>The Indian Premier League 2020, one of the biggest sporting events in India, is April 15, due to the coronavirus outbreak. The IPL 2020 was slated to begin on March 29 however visa restrictions by the government which will keep foreign players away, forcing them to make this decision. "The BCCI is concerned and sensitive about all its stakeholders, and public health in general, and it is taking all necessary steps to ensure that, all people related to IPL including fans have a safe cricketing experience," the release said. The IPL 2020 is not the only major sporting event affected by the coronavirus. The UEFA Champions League, the NBA and the La Liga have also been suspended due the deadly pandemic. Overseas players may be able to join As per reports, franchise owners are against playing without their overseas players. This delay will allow overseas players to join the IPL 2020 as the visa restrictions will end on April 15. However, the government is expected to reassess the situation in the coming weeks and may relax or extend the visa restrictions based on the gravity of the situation. Franchise owners want to play games behind closed doors Even when the IPL 2020 begins on April 15, its matches may still have to be played only for TV without live audience. The Maharashtra government was the first to <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/covid-19-maharashtra-to-allow-ipl-matches-only-in-empty-stadiums/articleshow/74589767.cms">announce</a> it will allow IPL only if it is played behind closed doors, to discourage public gatherings. The Delhi government quickly followed suit. The franchise owners will reportedly make this same request to ask BCCI officials on Saturday in order to keep up with the schedule of games and cities. A franchise official in a statement to IANS said that playing games in closed doors is better than postponement as it will allow foreign players to join the teams. “If we get to the business end without our foreign recruits, then it again becomes a domestic tournament just like say Mushtaq Ali or Vijay Hazare Trophy. To keep the charisma alive, you need foreign players,” he added.

Jamie is currently 69 years old and father to two kids, Bryan and Jamie Lynn, in addition to Spears.His ex-wife Lynne alleged in her autobiography that Jamie has struggled with alcoholism since the late '80s. Lynne and Jamie divorced in 2002. Reports surfaced in 2010 that the two had <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/britney-spearss-parents-lynne-jamie-reconciling/">reconciled without remarrying</a>, but it's unclear whether they're currently still together.In 2008, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare">according to the New Yorker</a>, Jamie led the effort to have Spears placed under a conservatorship, and took the role as her primary overseer. In 2019, he was removed from the section of her conservatorship that runs her personal affairs, but he remains the sole conservator for her financial estate. According to a recent sworn statement from Lynne, <a href="https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-mom-makes-damning-statement-against-jamie-spears-2021-7">Jamie has had "complete control" over Spears</a> for the last 13 years. Lynne's statement also confirmed reports from 2019 about a <a href="https://people.com/music/britney-spears-upset-dad-jamie-alleged-altercation-son/">"physical altercation" that happened between Jamie and one of Spears' teenaged sons.</a><h3>Lynne, Spears' mother, says she wasn't involved with the logistics of the conservatorship until 2018</h3><div type="image" title="Lynne Spears" height="1317" width="1757" msid="84945032" hostid="261"></div>Lynne Spears (née Bridges) is currently 66 years old. She married Jamie in 1976, and they had three children together before their 2002 divorce. She later wrote a memoir, and said <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare">Spears had encouraged the separation</a> due to how "years and years of verbal abuse, abandonment, erratic behavior, and his simply not being there for me had taken their toll."When Spears' conservatorship was established in 2008, Lynne was supportive but, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare">according to a report from the New Yorker</a>, believed the legal arrangement would be temporary. In July 2021, Lynne <a href="https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-mom-makes-damning-statement-against-jamie-spears-2021-7">filed a statement to the Los Angeles court</a>, saying that she became more formally involved with the conservatorship during a "time of crisis" in 2018.Lynne also said in the filing that she believed it was in Spears' best interest to remove Jamie from the guardianship, and said the relationship between her ex-husband and daughter "has dwindled to nothing but fear and hatred."<h2 style="text-align: center;">Spears' conservatorship judges</h2><h3>Reva Goetz is the judge who initially granted Spears' conservatorship</h3>Reva Goetz served as a Los Angeles County judge between 2001 and 2015. Prior to that, she was a Malibu Municipal Court commissioner.In 2008, she <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/arts/music/britney-spears-conservatorship.html">granted the initial petition</a> to put Spears under conservatorship.Goetz oversaw all matters related to the conservatorship until she retired in 2015, court records show. Goetz now works as an arbitrator in California.<h3>Brenda Penny took over as the judge overseeing the conservatorship case in 2016</h3>Judge Brenda Penny has overseen the Spears conservatorship case in the Los Angeles court since 2016, court records show. She initially oversaw the case in the role of probate commissioner, and was elected as a judge in the California Superior Court in 2018.<div type="image" title="Britney Spears and her father Jamie" height="2090" width="2786" msid="84945034" hostid="261"></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Spears' conservatorship lawyers and other attorneys she attempted to hire</h2><h3>Samuel Ingham, III, was appointed by the court to be Spears' lawyer in 2008 and served in that role until July 2021</h3>Samuel Ingham, III, a probate lawyer, was appointed by Judge Goetz when the conservatorship went into effect.According <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare">to the New Yorker's report</a>, Goetz granted a request from the conservators to "waive the requirement to notify [Spears] that any of this was happening." Spears had no say in the selection of Ingham as her legal representative. He remained in that role until <a href="https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-new-lawyer-conservatorship-2021-7">his resignation was approved</a> in July 2021.<h3>Adam Streisand is a high-profile attorney who Spears initially wanted to represent her instead of Ingham</h3>Shortly after the conservatorship began, Spears told Judge Goetz <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/08/arts/music/is-britney-spears-ready-to-stand-on-her-own.html">she wanted Adam Streisand</a> - a prominent trusts and estates litigator - to represent her. But <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare">Goetz barred Spears from hiring her own lawyer</a> and blocked Streisand from intervening in the case.In the years since, Streisand <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/britney-spears-ex-lawyer-slams-current-attorney-amid-conservatorship/">has publicly criticized Ingham</a> and said Jamie Spears was exerting too much control over his daughter's life.<h3>Jon Eardley is another lawyer Spears attempted to hire </h3>After Goetz blocked Spears from having Streisand represent her, the pop star hired attorney Jon Eardley to appeal the decision and get the conservatorship invalidated. He argued that Spears was being denied due process.Eardley lost the appeal in March 2008 with the court ruling, once again, that <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spears-conservator-idUSN2435027020080324">Spears didn't have a right to hire her own lawyer</a>.
