NEW DELHI : India player Rishabh Pant is being flown to Mumbai where he will undergo surgeries having suffered multiple injuries in a car crash last week, the country's cricket board (BCCI) said on Wednesday.
With an eye on the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, the BCCI has shortlisted a pool of 20 players, sources told NDTV. Also, top players could be asked to skip the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), with the BCCI wanting players to focus on ICC events, and to avoid injury problems. The decision was taken during BCCI's performance review meeting, which took place at a seven star hotel in Mumbai. In attendance were coach Rahul Dravid, Captain Rohit Sharma, NCA chairman VVS Laxman, ex Chief selector Chetan Sharma. Board President Roger Binny joined through video conferencing.

“It (vice-captaincy) wasn’t expected, but the way the past year has been for me, I can say that it’s like a reward for me. I’m feeling very good about it, and I’m really looking forward to it,” Surya said after cracking 95 for Mumbai against Saurashtra on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy match at the MCA’s ground in BKC.It was his father Ashok Kumar Yadav who broke the good news to ‘Sky’ on Tuesday night that he had been ‘promoted’ in India’s T20I setup. “My father forwarded the (team) to me, because he’s always on social media. Then, we spoke to each other. He also sent me a small message: ‘Not to take any pressure and enjoy your batting.’”Of course, it took time for the news to sink in.
NEW DELHI : India is "seriously" considering a bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games, sports minister Anurag Thakur said.
The upcoming season of the Indian Premier League will take place in the year 2023, but months before the mega event kicks off, there will be a mini auction that will take place on December 23 in Kochi this year. The 10 teams will be eyeing to use their remaining purse amount in the best way possible as a total of 405 players are set to go under the hammer. It is worth noting that initially, the list of 991 players was pruned to 369, and then another 36 players were added to the list on the request of the teams.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya will, in all likelihood, lead India in the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka, scheduled to start from January 3 in Mumbai, according to a report. The second and third matches of the series will be held in Pune (January 5) and Rajkot (January 7). It is understood that Rohit Sharma's thumb injury might take some more time to heal. However, there is no clarity whether he (Rohit) will step down from the T20 captaincy or the matter put on hold for the time being.
Thirty-four years after Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar scored his maiden first-class century on debut, his son Arjun celebrated the same achievement in the Ranji Trophy on Wednesday.
