"He Won't Give You Too Many Wickets": Former India Batter On Ravindra Jadeja

Former India batter Aakash Chopra feels Ravindra Jadeja won't be a potent wicket-taker for the team during the T20 World Cup. Jadeja is a part of India's 15-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, and is likely to feature at the T20 World Cup. While analysing India's spin-bowling options for the T20 World Cup, Chopra said that Jadeja is a "complete package" and will surely be in the playing XI. However, Chopra said that the all-rounder will struggle to take wickets at the marquee event in Australia later this year.

"We Don't Have An All-Rounder Of Hardik Pandya's Calibre": Pakistan Great

India will take on Pakistan in their first match of the upcoming Asia Cup on August 28 in Dubai. Both teams had met last year during the T20 World Cup at the same venue, with Pakistan coming out on top. It was a dominant performance from Pakistan as India suffered their first defeat to their arch-rivals at World Cups. However, former Pakistan bowler Aaqib Javed feels that India have a much-experienced batting line-up, especially the middle-order, which can make the difference.

Broadcasters formally write to ICC, say tender for media rights doesn't 'encourage' them to bid

cricket broadcasters - Disney, Viacom18, Sony and Zee - who participated in the e-auction for media rights of the Indian Premier League (IPL) have written to the International Cricket Council (ICC), letting the governing body of the game know that the current tender document does not encourage them to submit a bid. All four broadcasters have the same reasons for writing to the ICC - absolute lack of clarity on the process - and have indicated (not verbatim) that they may not turn up at the bidding table. Ugliness, along with some potential for future litigation and quite a bit of antagonism enveloped the air this week after the ICC sent out a huge list of clarifications to the broadcasters, answering their questions in detail, but not making any major changes to the tender process.
