Wridhiman Saha (Photo Source: X/Twitter) In Ranji Trophy 2024-25, Bengal team is going to play its second match against Bihar from October 18 at Bengal Cricket Academy, Kalyani. The team’s first match was against UP, which ended in a draw but the team managed to earn 3 points, the credit for which goes to the bowlers. Meanwhile, the Bengal team seems to be in trouble before the upcoming match against Bihar. Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha is finding it difficult to play in the second match as he is suffering from back spasms. A source from Bengal Cricket Association gave information A Bengal Cricket Association source told The Telegraph on Wednesday, October 16, Wriddhiman Saha has a little cramp in his back. He did not come on the field even on the last day of the match against UP. If he is not fit for the match, Evelyn Ghosh or Shubham Dey will replace him. If Wriddhiman Saha is not able to recover completely, then Evelyn Ghosh can be seen replacing him in the playing 11 and can also make his debut for Bengal. Hrithik Chatterjee may also be out Spinner Hrithik Chatterjee could not perform anything special in the first match against Uttar Pradesh. He gave 105 runs in 25 overs and did not take any wicket. However, one or two catches were also missed in his bowling. Pradipta Pramanik or Aamir Ghani may get a chance in place of Chatterjee in the match against Bihar. Shadow of rain in Bengal vs Bihar match There is a forecast of rain in the first few days of the match between Bengal and Bihar in Kalyani. Bengal will aim to get full points from this match, as Bihar is not the strongest team in Elite Group-C, at least on paper. At the same time, Bihar had to face defeat against Haryana by one innings and 43 runs in the last match.

New Zealand team head coach Gary Stead has not revealed what happened between him and Tim Southee after the test series defeat against Sri Lanka. According to ESPNcricinfo, Gary Stead said, ‘Just like we review after all Test tours and series, Tim Southee and I had a conversation among ourselves and only after that he decided to step down from the post of captaincy. He felt that this would prove to be right for the team and I also supported his decision. Tim Southee used to start for us and lead the team well: Gary Stead Stead further said, ‘It is very important to see different players in their role as a selector or coach as it brings out the best in the team. Tim Southee was a player who used to start for us and also lead the team and we always look for that option which can take the team forward. It is very important for New Zealand to win the three-match Test series against India. The New Zealand team must be feeling very sad due to the defeat against Sri Lanka but now all the players will be seen to perform well in the upcoming test series.

Lord’s Cricket Ground (Image Credit- Twitter X) There is bad news for cricket lovers who watch test matches at Lord’s Cricket Ground, known as the ‘Home of Cricket’. Marylon Cricket Club (MCC), the organization that operates Lord’s Cricket Ground, has announced an increase in ticket rates for matches to be held at the stadium for the upcoming summer season 2025.

However, the MCC has increased the ticket rates for the upcoming WTC final and the match to be held here during India’s tour of England next year. The organization believes that India’s tour after the Ashes series is an important tour, due to which this decision has been taken.

The price of tickets for the WTC final to be held at Lord’s has been fixed from 70 euros (6530 rupees) to 130 euros (12130 rupees).

A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Mumbai Cricket Association has recently made a big announcement where everyone on the board has agreed that 100% salary increase will be provided to Mumbai players from the 2024-25 season. The decision was taken after the state association recommended that players’ BCCI earnings should be at par with domestic cricket. This decision was approved in the Apex Council meeting of Mumbai Cricket Association i.e. MCA and now this will double the players’ earnings in the entire season. Let us tell you, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is paying the players in three slabs. Any player who plays 40 first-class matches earns Rs 60,000 a day. Players who have played 21-40 matches earn Rs 50,000 a day, while players who have played less than 20 matches earn Rs 40,000 a day. For example, Mumbai opener Bhupen Lalwani had participated in all 10 matches for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy and has earned Rs 17.2 lakh as match fee. However, if this rule had come earlier, Bhupen Lalwani would have earned Rs 34.4 lakh. According to ESPNcricinfo, Mumbai Cricket Association President Amol Kale said, ‘We felt that players can earn more, especially those who play Ranji Trophy cricket. The red ball format is very important for us and Ranji Trophy holds a special place in everyone’s heart in Mumbai. If Ranji Trophy fees are doubled or tripled, many people will be seen playing this tournament: Sunil Gavaskar Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar believes that if the match fees of domestic cricket is increased, then many players can be seen participating more in domestic cricket. Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘If the Ranji Trophy fees are doubled or tripled, then more and more players can be seen playing Ranji Trophy. He will be ready to play in the slab system. For every 10 first class matches you will get more. Therefore, I appeal to BCCI to keep an eye on this also.

IPL 2024: ‘Dhoni’s presence will increase Gaikwad’s problems’ – MSD fans will be enraged by Wasim Jaffer’s statement regarding change in CSK captaincy.

(Image Source: CSK/X) Indian Premier League 2024: Former Indian cricketer and commentator Wasim Jaffer has criticized MS Dhoni for leaving the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before IPL 2024 and handing over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad.MS Dhoni) has raised questions on the timing of the decision. MS Dhoni surprised everyone and announced his resignation from the captaincy just a day before the first match of IPL 2024 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Actually, Ruturaj Gaikwad was seen in the captains’ photoshoot for IPL 2024 on March 21, only after which everyone came to know about Dhoni’s decision. The timing of MS Dhoni leaving the captaincy like this was not right: Wasim Jaffer Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer believes that the timing of Dhoni leaving the captaincy like this was not right. The former batsman said that if Dhoni was not part of the team, the move would have been more appropriate. He also expressed concern that Dhoni’s presence in CSK could potentially create challenges for new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. “No, I don’t think it was the right time for MS Dhoni to resign as captain,” Wasim Jaffer was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. I think it would have made more sense if MS Dhoni was not part of the team. If he had retired and was not in the team, this timing could have been right. If that had happened, things would have become much easier for the new captain.” “If Dhoni was not there, then…” Wasim Jaffer further said, “Since he is still a part of the team, things are going to become difficult for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a decision or not, and whether Dhoni agrees with that decision or not. What, will he like those decisions? And you are on your own, and we all know that Ruturaj Gaikwad would have been the next captain of CSK. But I think if Dhoni was not there, all this would have been much easier.”
