Gianni Infantino might visit India next month and call on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss the way forward for Indian football. This was revealed during the executive committee meeting of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) here on Monday. Infantino's visit, if it takes place, will coincide with the final leg of the FIFA Women's U-17 world Cup, which is to be held in the country from October 11 to 30.
The team produced a disappointing performance in the FIH women's World Cup in jointly cos-hosted by Spain and the Netherlands in July, failing to even reach the quarterfinals. But the Indian women won a bronze in Birmingham, its first medal at the CWG in 16 years.
After a disappointing run at the Asia Cup 2022, Team India is all geared up for the upcoming T20I series against Australia at home. The side will be led by Rohit Sharma and will also feature the likes of KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, among others. Just two days ahead of the 1st T20I clash against Australia, the BCCI unveiled the new T20 jersey for the Indian men and women's cricket teams. The launch of the new jersey sparked a moment of excitement among fans and players. Following the launch, India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took to Twitter to post of picture of himself donning the new jersey.
India's ODI series in England is set to be legendary pacer Jhulan Goswami's swansong from the game. Her final match is set to be at Lord's. It's fitting that her international cricket will end with an ODI, as she is the leading wicket-taker in the format among women. England star Sophia Dunkley, who played a key role in their 2-1 T20I series win against India recently, spoke to NDTV about Jhulan Goswami, her legacy and how the hosts want to give her a good farewell.
Aaron Finch on Monday said it will take a very brave man to write Virat Kohli off and what the former India captain has achieved in the last 15 years is just "ridiculous". Kohli overcame a prolonged lean patch at the Asia Cup earlier this month and also scored his 71st international century. The hundred was his first since November 2019. "It will be a very brave man to write Virat Kohli off. At any stage, he has shown for 15 years now that he is one of the greatest players of all time," Finch said on the eve of the series-opener against India. "Particularly in T20 cricket, he's someone who has developed and grown his game over such a long period that you always plan and prepare the best when you're coming up against him.
India will look to sort out their combinations, especially in the middle-order, while giving a final shape to their plans and preparations for the T20 World Cup when a three-match home series against Australia begins here Tuesday. Though a few fast bowlers will be rested over the course of six games before the World Cup -- three matches against South Africa to follow after the Australia series -- India have a full strength squad at their disposal to finalise combinations.

The T20 format is a lot about being flexible but as he mentioned ahead of the first T20, India skipper Rohit Sharma would like to get 'all the answers' from his players before the flagship ICC event in Australia.
Yuvraj Singh became the first-ever T20I batter and second batter in international cricket after South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs (ODI) to smash six sixes in an over, against England at Durban during the ICC T20 World Cup 2007. It was the Super Eight phase of the World Cup. After losing their first matches, both India and England desperately needed a win to boost their chances in semis. India were dominating their second Super Eight match against England, at 171/3 in 18 overs after choosing to bat first. After exchanging a few heated words with all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, Yuvraj was all fired up, all set to unleash his hard-hitting game against England.
