Cameron Green’s non-availability as a bowler had trigged a sharp response from KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane (IPL/BCCI)

Cricket Australia have been forced to put out a clarification on why Australian allrounder Cameron Green is not allowed to bowl for his franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026, after skipper Ajinkya Rahane took a swipe at the Australian board when asked about Green’s abstinence from bowling duties during KKR’s opening fixture against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Sunday.KKR failed to defend a total of 220, with Rahane blaming it on the inexperienced bowling unit and the true nature of the Wankhede track – the same strip which saw nearly 500 runs being scored in the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal between India and England earlier this month.KKR have been grappling with injuries, and Rahane conceded that the non-availability of Green as a bowler dented the team’s balance.“I think when hopefully Green starts to bowl soon, the combination will be slightly different,” said Rahane during the post-match interaction. “At the moment, we have to see the balance and who can bowl well for us. Batting-wise, as I said, we batted really well, but finding that balance with the ball is really important. So, hopefully, Green starts to bowl soon, then we can find out whether the combination will be okay.“And when asked why the 26-year-old was not bowling, he shot back, saying, “That question you need to ask Cricket Australia,” leaving the on-air commentators Ravi Shastri and Kevin Pietersen speechless for a bit.However, Cricket Australia responded to Rahane’s remarks, stating that Green is suffering from a lower back injury and KKR were made fully aware of the situation beforehand.“Cameron has a lower back injury which is being managed but requires him to abstain from bowling for a short period,” a CA spokesperson said, as quoted by FOX Sports.“Cameron is currently rebuilding his bowling loads in India with a view to return in around 10–12 days’ time. KKR has been communicated with and is fully aware of this information,” the report further stated, attributing it to the spokesperson.Green, the most expensive buy of the IPL 2026 auction at INR 25.20 Cr, came out to bat at one-down, scoring 18 off 10 balls, but was not pressed into action with the ball as Mumbai Indians batters made merry against an inexperienced KKR bowling unit. Every KKR bowler was taken to the cleaners by Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton of Mumbai Indians, who combined for an opening stand of 148 in just 11.1 overs.Vaibhav Arora was taken for 52 runs in his four overs, while Blessing Muzarabani leaked 34 runs in his three overs. Kartik Tyagi, the impact sub, returned figures of 4-0-43-1. But the biggest letdown for KKR were their spin twins — Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy — who proved ineffective on the Wankhede track, giving away 78 runs between them in seven overs.

Following a major patch release earlier, the developers have added several hotfix updates to Crimson Desert on March 30, 2026. Pearl Abyss has a dedicated space where players can report in-game issues, and it’s commendable that those bugs are being fixed quickly. The latest adjustments fix numerous UI features and in-game interactions.

Here are all of the included hotfixes mentioned in Crimson Desert Patch Notes Version 1.01.01.

All Crimson Desert hotfixes released with patch version 1.01.01

With Crimson Desert patch 1.01.00 improving plenty of in-game mechanics, and also adding more content to the title, the hotfix patch version 1.01.01 fixes a total of eight bugs. These updates are available for all platforms, including PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox. And as for PC (Steam), the update size is only 208 MB.

With that said, here are the fixes included in patch version 1.01.01:

• “Fixed an issue where the “Use” button for the Talisman of the 5 new mounts appeared on Damiane and Oongka.
• Fixed an issue where Blackstar remained flying in place after death instead of disappearing.
• Fixed an issue where the A.T.A.G was not destroyed even when its Health reached 0.
• Fixed an issue where the UI for selecting a tempering target became unavailable in certain conditions.
• Fixed an issue where holding down the button to follow NPCs during missions on horseback caused the horse to move abnormally.
• Fixed an issue where Sprint could not be used while riding the White Bear.
• Fixed an issue where the controls became unavailable while using “Examine” with the Constellation Helm.
• Fixed an issue where Refinement of equipment was not possible for Damiane and Oongka.”

The White Bear is one of the legendary mounts that came with patch 1.01.00, and the developers have already included a bug fix around its riding interaction. With all the recent updates, it’s fair to say that if the community raises an issue (that potentially needs fixing), Pearl Abyss might fix it in time.
