‘Ban them for two years’- IPL franchises put forth a demand to BCCI to take action against foreign players

In the last few seasons, players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Harry Brook and Wanindu Hasaranga withdrew their names without any solid reason. Apart from this, there is a constant discussion about the number of players retained. Currently, teams are allowed to retain only four players before the mega auction. There is talk of increasing the number of retained players to 8. Now it will be interesting to see whether the number of retained players increases or not. Apart from this, the franchise has made some other demands as well. Now it remains to be seen what decision BCCI takes regarding retention for the upcoming IPL season.

According to a report by Cricbuzz, the franchises have highlighted the issue of foreign players being constantly left out of the league. Franchise demanded action from BCCI According to the report, the actions of players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales and Wanindu Hasaranga, who have previously withdrawn from the IPL due to low bids, have raised concerns for the IPL management. From personal issues to injuries, the reasons for their withdrawal have put a damper on the plans of the franchises and hence they are demanding action from the BCCI on this. Apart from this, franchise owners have also highlighted a pattern where some foreign players refuse to participate in the mega auction and participate in the mini auction so that they can get higher bids. Now these issues will be the main topic of discussion in the meeting to be held on Wednesday evening between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials and the Indian Premier League franchise owners.

‘PCB should take action against him’ Former Pakistani captain gave a big statement about Shaheen Afridi

Pakistan was badly eliminated in the T20 World Cup 2024. Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Butt is not happy with the way the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has managed fast bowler Shaheen Afridi. According to some media reports, Shaheen had a heated argument with batting coach Mohammad Yusuf during the Pakistan cricket team’s tour of England in the UK ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. If we tell you about this issue, then at that time Shaheen Afridi was throwing a lot of no balls during the bowling practice session. But when Yusuf reprimanded Shaheen for not throwing no balls, he told him to mind his own business. On the other hand, now former captain Salman Butt has given a big statement on this matter. Salman Butt gave a big statement Let us tell you that Salman Butt, on this issue, quoted Cricket Pakistan on a local sports channel as saying- If the Pakistan Cricket Management feels that Shaheen is not following the set plans, and is doing so deliberately, then the PCB should take action against him. If he is not disciplined, then he should be removed, and some other player should get a place in the team. Butt further said- If you (PCB) gave him a full chance despite all these issues and are now complaining, then I think anyone can do this. What is the point of appointing big names with such high salaries. The job of the management is not to complain but to take action. On the other hand, let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi was leading the Pakistan cricket team in T20 cricket, but before the T20 World Cup, he was removed from the captaincy in a very dramatic manner.

“If tobacco or gutkha advertisement is seen in the stadium then…” Health Ministry in action, notice will be issued to BCCI

Tobacco-Ads-in-cricket-stadium The Union Health Ministry has recently announced that tobacco and gutkha advertisements will not be displayed in any stadium in India. Many cricket grounds hosting popular tournaments like IPL display tobacco advertisements, including those of gutkha-paan masala and chewing tobacco. Obviously, these advertisements earn a lot of money for BCCI. But this is pushing the youth of the country on the wrong path. Bollywood stars forget that they are role models for Indian youth and they proudly promote gutkha and tobacco. It is worth noting that cricket is celebrated like a festival in India and this game is very popular among the youth. There have been many cases in which smokeless tobacco advertisements have been shown during cricket matches and celebrity endorsements. This indirectly attracts the youth. Therefore, now there are reports that the DGHS of the Ministry of Health may write a letter to the BCCI and urge it to stop showing tobacco related advertisements. “These advertisements are actually advertisements of famous tobacco/gutkha brands and are being sold in the name of pan masala, cardamom and other food items to circumvent the laws. Delhi State Tobacco Control had issued many show cause notices to Bollywood and cricket stars. The advertisements of pan masala were rampant and were effectively stopped in many cases. After this, now they mostly promote tobacco in the name of fragrant cardamom.” 41.3% of World Cup ads were for tobacco A study by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and global health organisation Vital Strategies was published in the British Medical Journal in May. It reported that 41.3% of all surrogate advertising of smokeless tobacco (SLT) brands in 2023 were shown during the last 17 matches of the Cricket World Cup.

Fans got angry after seeing this action of MS Dhoni, Mahi did not shake hands with anyone after the match

MS Dhoni. (Photo Source: Twitter) Yesterday the most exciting match of IPL 2024 was played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). CSK had to face defeat in this match and with this the CSK team was out of the tournament. A heartbreaking picture of Dhoni after the defeat against RCB is going viral on social media. When hopes of victory were gradually fading. The team needed 11 runs from three balls. In the last over, Dhoni was out on the second ball after hitting a six on the very first ball. The sorrow of CSK not reaching the playoffs was clearly visible not only on his face but also in his expressions. He did not even shake hands with RCB players. Hardly anyone remembers that Dhoni had done such a thing before. In such a situation, when such pictures of him came from Chinnaswamy Stadium, it was natural to be surprised. MS Dhoni’s video went viral on social media Perhaps no one had imagined what Dhoni did after CSK was out of the playoffs after losing to RCB. In the viral video on social media, it is clearly visible that Dhoni along with his fellow players had lined up on the field to shake hands with the RCB players. Dhoni is also at the forefront of this line. But, as soon as they reach the ground, they come out again. During this, he just shook hands with some RCB support staff coming from the front. He is not seen shaking hands with any CSK player in that video. Now looking at the video it seems that Dhoni is angry. But, it also seems that his anger is not on his opponent i.e. RCB. That is, whatever the matter is, it is an internal matter within CSK, regarding which Dhoni is a little angry or disappointed. After this, now there is only one question in everyone’s mind whether Dhoni will be seen playing in IPL again next year.
