U-19 World Cup: VVS Laxman lauds BCCI and its structure after India's fifth triumph
U-19 World Cup title triumph, National Cricket Academy (NCA) head VVS Laxman lauded the BCCI for running a world-class youth structure and organising innumerable, competitive age-group tournaments. Having battled a COVID-19 outbreak in their camp which nearly derailed their campaign, India beat England by four wickets in the final of this edition to extend their dominance in the age-group showpiece. "I think the BCCI has to be complemented. The number of matches and tournaments each age group level gets to play, whether U-16, U-19 or U-23... unfortunately due to COVID-19 they didn't get to play any tournament and that's why I think this tournament win is very special," Laxman said after the victory.

India vs West Indies, 1st ODI: Will India discard tried and tested template?
Rohit Sharma ruffled. Even if he is surreally calm, atleast on the exterior, the manufactured turbulence in Indian cricket post December, would have put him on high alert ahead of India’s 1000th ODI, in the first match of the three-match ODI series against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Post the 2019 World Cup, India’s ODI record has been modest. They have lost 12 of the 24 games played with one being a washout.

U-19 World Cup: Making of Raj Angad Bawa - A chance trip to Dharamsala and influence of father's "student" Yuvraj Singh
Raj Angad Bawa was just another happy-go-lucky kid, who effortlessly got good grades in school and loved to groove to the beats of Bhangra till he was 13 years old. With the hill-station of Dharamsala hosting an international cricket match back in the day, DAV Chandigarh's cricket coach Sukhwinder Singh Bawa decided to take his teenager son to watch the game.

And the result was an all-rounder performance at the global stage albeit at the junior level.
