"Loaded Question": Team India Gears Up For Reduced Time With Family After BCCI Diktat, Jos Buttler Gives Blunt Take

As Indian players gear up for reduced time with families during lengthy tours abroad owing to a BCCI diktat, England captain Jos Buttler on Tuesday said having partners and children on long overseas assignments is "really important" and does not affect the game "too much". Limited time with family members on tours was a contentious clause in the BCCI's recently-circulated 10-point disciplinary policy for players. India's Test and ODI skipper Rohit Sharma has already voiced his apprehension with the clause that allows families no more than two weeks on tours exceeding 45 days.

"Pick Bowlers Who Take Wickets": BCCI Blasted Over "Defensive" Champions Trophy Squad

Former Indian cricket team batter Aakash Chopra believes that the selection of three spin-bowling all-rounders - Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel - for the Champions Trophy 2025 is a 'defensive move'. Chopra compared the decision to the squad selection for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and said that this has become a recurring thing for the side. India went with extra all-rounders like Nitish Kumar Reddy and Sundar during the Test series but it did not work for them. He added that India need to pick bowlers 'who take wickets' and not ones based on their batting capabilities.

"Will Not Say...": R Ashwin's Brutally Honest Take On Shubman Gill Becoming Vice-Captain

The decision to appoint Shubman Gill as the Indian cricket team's vice-captain for Champions Trophy 2025 has sparked a major conversation among both fans as well as experts. While some believe that it was the right decision, others are of the opinion that Hardik Pandya could have been a better option. Former India spinner R Ashwin weighed in on the topic and praised the selectors for their 'futuristic move' before adding that the decision hinted at the selectors potentially considering Gill as a future captain.

No 'Pakistan' On Team India Jersey: BCCI's Champions Trophy Directive Leaves Pakistan Board Fuming

A fresh controversy has emerged from the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan and Dubai, with India reportedly objecting to 'Pakistan' (the name of the host nation) being printed on the team's jersey. India are set to play their Champions Trophy games in Dubai, though Pakistan remain the official hosts for the tournament. While a hybrid-model was accepted by the Pakistan Cricket Board and the International Cricket Council after the Board of Control for Cricket in India's refusal to send its team to Pakistan, the host name of the jersey has triggered a fresh row.

Australia Great's Warning As BCCI Sets 10-Point Diktat To Discipline Team India Stars

Australia great Ian Healy said BCCI's 10-point guidelines to the players was an admission of eroding discipline within the Indian team, and he urged other cricketing nations to "stay vigilant" not to go through a similar situation. Following India's 1-3 series loss to Australia in the recent Border-Gavaskar trophy, the BCCI has come out with a slew of measures, making it mandatory for all players "to stay for the entire duration of scheduled practice sessions and travel together to and from the venue." The policy also placed restrictions on the time the players would get with their families while on tour.

"Will Be A Bit Nervous Because...": Sourav Ganguly On Mohammed Shami's India Comeback

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Monday refused to read much into Virat Kohli's prolonged lean run and hailed the batting maestro as the "greatest white-ball player" and "once-in-a-lifetime cricketer". Kohli struck a second innings century in the opening Perth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but then managed only 85 runs in the next seven innings. With seniors such as Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma failing to deliver, India lost the series Down Under 1-3. "Virat Kohli is a once-in-a-lifetime cricketer. To score 81 international centuries in a career is something unbelievable. For me, he's probably the greatest white-ball player the world has seen," Ganguly said during a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) felicitation programme for the state's players.
