So, the World T20 is over. But do not fear, there are more T20 fireworks in store with the start of the 2016 Indian Premier League on Saturday.Not only that, but many of the six-hitting and wicket-taking superstars of the World T20 are sticking around in India for the IPL, including the winners…CARIBBEAN CHAMPIONSGet ready for more dancing for one, but also more carefree calypso cricket, with no less than six of West Indies World T20 winning squad playing in the IPL. IPL live on Sky Get the full IPL experience with Sky Sports England - and more specifically, Ben Stokes - destroyer in the final, Carlos Brathwaite, will be trying to add to those four-straight sixes off Stokes final over when he trots out for the Delhi Daredevils.Then, of course, there is the superstar attraction that is Chris Gayle, competing again for Royal Challengers Bangalore in front of his adoring home fans - the same ones who booed the West Indies when an injured Gayle didnt come out to bat in their win over Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Carlos Brathwaite will have a lot more attention after his World T20 final exploits Gayle is joined in Bangalore by leg-spinner Samuel Badree following his impressive tournament - taking nine wickets at 13.77 and an impeccable economy of 5.39 - while death-bowling specialist and chief Champion, Dwayne Bravo, is with the newly-formed Gujarat Lions due to the two-year suspension of his former team, Chennai Super Kings, and the Rajasthan Royals. Get ready to see much more of this from Dwayne Bravo (Left) and Chris Gayle (Right) at the IPL Stars from the semi-final win over India, Lendl Simmons and Andre Russell, complete the Caribbean line-up, remaining with their respective 2015 teams, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders.ENGLISH INTERESTJos Buttler is the main draw, competing in the IPL for the very first time, for Mumbai, and coming into the tournament with some sensational form under his belt too. He cracked 191 runs at the World T20 - including 12 sixes - averaging 47.75, with a strike rate of 159.16. He also hit a 73-ball ODI hundred against South Africa and an England record-fastest 46 ball ton against Pakistan this winter. Jos Buttler gets his first taste of the IPL with Mumbai Indians His international skipper Eoin Morgan returns for another IPL stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad, although his feast-or-famine form is currently firmly stuck in famine territory after only managing 66 runs in six World T20 innings for England. But as weve seen before, he can quickly rediscover his touch as quickly as he can lose it.The only other English interest surprisingly comes in the form of Sam Billings, with the Kent wicket-keeper batsman earning his first taste of the IPL after being picked up by Delhi.HOME NATION HEROES Virat Kohli averaged over 100 for India at the World T20 There is plenty of Indian representation as always in the IPL, but few truly starred at the World T20. Virat Kohli certainly was one of them though, the Royal Challengers batsman was arguably the player of the tournament, with his 273 runs - at an astonishing average of 136.50 - leading the way (if you discount the early rounds with the associate nations).Indian skipper MS Dhoni didnt quite dazzle like he can do on the world stage, but still makes for an intriguing watch with new franchise Rising Pune Supergiants, who also boast the services of Kevin Pietersen, while the seemingly ageless Ashish Nehra - who previously played with Dhoni in Chennai - joins Sunrisers off the back of an impressive World T20. He took only five wickets in the tournament, but bowling often in the powerplay overs, went for only 5.94 runs an over.OTHER STAR NAMES Shane Watson stays in India after playing his final game for Australia at the World T20 Shane Watson is now done with international cricket, bowing out after a terrific all-round World T20 tournament where he averaged 48.00 with the bat, and took five wickets at 20.60 with the ball. But he carries on in the IPL, playing with the Royal Challengers for the first time.Re-joining the Daredevils is Quinton de Kock who continued his fine form at the World T20 while others in the South Africa side struggled. He smacked 52 off 24 balls against England, in an incredible game that theyd ultimately lose despite scoring 229. Bangladeshs Mustafizur Rahman was a standout performer at the World T20 Following on from his nine wickets in three World T20 outings for Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman - who joins up with Sussex in the T20 Blast later this summer - first has a spell with Sunrisers, while international team-mate Shakib Al Hasan is back with the Knight Riders.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all the action from the 2016 IPL, starting on Saturday as Jos Buttlers Mumbai Indians meet Kevin Pietersen and the Rising Pune Supergiants live on Sky Sports 3 from 3pm.Also See:How to watch IPLLive cricket on SkyGet Sky SportsButtler joins Mumbai IndiansAir Max 270 Wholesale . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry, Keep up the great column. Just thought Id share this interesting story and question: At the weekend, a linesman went down injured late in the first period of an Australian Ice Hockey League game in Melbourne between the Melbourne Ice and the Newcastle North, after unfortunately being on the receiving end of a big hit. He was taken off the ice concussed and could not return to the game. In an extraordinary turn of events, Fox Sports Australia commentator Stephen White, an IIHF certified referee who was calling the game, was forced to jump out of the commentary box and into the game as the back-up linesman as no other was available to allow the game to continue. Apparently it was a forfeit had he not stepped in. I just want to know what the ruling is on this in the NHL, if certain officials get injured how long is it before the game has to be called off? By the way this story is all over the news in Australia, apparently this has never happened in any sport in history (a commentator replacing an injured match official). Cheers, Jake GDay Jake! We at TSN and Cmon Ref are honoured to answer your question from Down Under and the unusual incident you described during an Australian Ice Hockey League game. Kudos to Fox Sports commentator Stephen White for allowing the game to be completed instead of forfeited when he exchanged his microphone for a whistle. I loved the YouTube footage from the game and hope that injured Linesman, Russell Huber has fully recovered from the hit he took. An NHL game would never be called off should any (or all) of the Officials be unable to continue through illness, accident or even in cases where they were unable to arrive at the game through any misadventure, including bad weather. Provisions in the NHL rule book provide for such situations to indicate that "the show must go on!" Rule 31.1—If, owing to illness or accident, one of the Referees is unable to continue to officiate, the remaining Referee shall perform the duties of the ill or injured Referee during the balance of the game. In the event that a member of the Leagues Hockey Operations departments is in attendance at a game where a spare official is present, he shall have the authority to substitute the injured Referee with the spare official. (In reality any NHL Ref or Lineman if in attendance would suit up in the event one of the Officials could not continue. In the playoffs there is always a Stand-by Official assigned to the game who is required to be dressed and ready to go, short of lacing up his skates. In deciding games both a Stand-by Referee and Linesmen are assigned.) If, through misadventure of sickness, the Referees and Linesmen appointed are prevented from appearing, the League will make every attempt to find suitable replacement officials, otherwise, the Managers or Coaches of the two Clubs shall agree on Referee(s) and Linesman (men). If they are unable to agree, they shall appoint a player from each side who shall act as Referee and Linesman; the player of the home Club acting as Referee and the player of the visiting Club as Linesman. If the regularly appointed officials appear during the progress of the game, they shall at once replace the temporary officials. To paraphrase rule 32.6—If a linesman is unable to finish the game, the Referee can appoint another to replace him and if no replacement is availablee the two Referees will assist the remaining Linesman with his duties in addition to retaining their ability to assess penalties.dddddddddddd While you might think it bizarre to appoint a player from each team to act as replacement officials it actually did occur in an NHL game. On January 15, 1983, tough guy Gary Howatt (as a member of the New Jersey Devils) and Mickey Vocan (as a member of the Hartford Whalers) became the only active players to officiate an NHL game as linesmen when a snowstorm prevented a referee and linesman from reaching the Hartford Civic Center for a game between the Whalers and Devils. The lone NHL Linesman who made it through the storm acted as the Referee in the game. Another unprecedented assignment of replacement game officials which I wrote about extensively in my book, The Final Call, occurred during the 1987-88 Stanley Cup Playoffs in Game 4 of the Wales Conference final between the Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils. In the aftermath of Jim Scheonfelds one-game suspension resulting from his infamous "doughnut" line shouted to Referee Don Koharski following Game 3, Referee Dave Newell (President of the NHL Officials Association) refused to take the ice when the Coach was granted an injunction by Judge James F. Madden of the New Jersey Superior Court 40 minutes before the game. The game was delayed for over an hour as Director of Officiating, John McCauley (Ref Wes McCauleys father) pleaded with Newell to work the game. When McCauleys efforts to broker a truce failed the off-ice crew was pressed into service as replacement officials. Devils goal judges Paul McInnis and Vin Godleski served as referee and linesman, respectively, while Jim Sullivan from the NY Islanders crew worked as the second linesman. They officiated while wearing bright yellow practice jerseys. Jake, it appears that the Australian League uses one Referee and two Linesmen. When we worked under that system there were several times we were forced to finish the game with just two Officials on the ice due to injury. One Saturday night in the Montreal Forum Linseman Ron "The Bear" Asselstine and I worked two full periods when Wayne Forsey blew a groin at the end of the first period. It was a tough game and Hall of Fame defenceman and class act, Larry Robinson was quoted by Red Fischer in the Montreal Gazette as suggesting the First Stars of the game were Fraser and Asselstine for such a fine job while playing a man short! Finally I have to provide details of an incident that demonstrates Los Angeles Kings Coach Darryl Sutters intensity and focus on winning. He was behind the Chicago bench as the Hawks played host to Mario Lemieux, Ron Francis and the Pittsburgh Penguins in an afternoon game televised on ESPN. The Hawks were on the power-play midway through the third period with the game tied when Tony Amonte deflected a puck up into my face. The puck broke my nose, fractured my tooth and cut my upper lip. As I stopped play blood from the cut sprayed out of my whistle. The game couldnt continue until I received some quick repairs. I approached Coach Sutter at the Hawk bench and advised him that the game would be suspended until I was stitched up. With a look of frustration on his face Sutter rubbed his chin and said, "Holy F Kerry, hurry up and get back, were pressin!" The Hawks doctor put seven quick stitches in my lip to close up the cut and I finished the game blowing the whistle out of the side of my mouth. The show must go on! ' ' '
