Ravindra Jadeja’s name is not in the team selected for the three-match ODI series, seeing which the fans were a bit surprised. Since then, there has been a constant debate about why Jadeja has not been selected in the team. He has been an important part of India’s ODI team for more than 10 years. Now some important reports are coming out about Ravindra Jadeja. The new management under the captaincy of head coach Gautam Gambhir is looking for a future replacement for the spin all-rounder keeping in mind the upcoming Champions Trophy. Jadeja is not in BCCI’s plans for ODI cricket. The Men in Blue will play only six ODIs before the Champions Trophy and the goal is to use these six matches to give match time to Akshar and Sundar. BCCI is looking for a replacement for Ravindra Jadeja One of the sources close to the developments told Hindustan Times that there is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance but the management wants to build a team for the future. A BCCI source told Hindustan Times, “India have only six ODIs to play before the Champions Trophy next year, including three in Sri Lanka. The selectors want to use Axar Patel and Washington Sundar in all the matches by giving them more chances.” He further said, “There is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance. The management wants to consider other options because we have to build a team for the future.” Axar was part of India’s squad in the ODI World Cup 2023 but was ruled out due to an injury ahead of the tournament. Since then, he has done a commendable job in the shortest format of the game and was a key player for the Rohit Sharma-led side in the T20 World Cup 2024. Axar has played 57 ODIs so far in which he has taken 60 wickets and scored 489 runs. When it comes to Washington, he is expected to get opportunities in white-ball cricket. He performed well in the recent Zimbabwe series and is expected to continue the same momentum.
“Including Riyan Parag, leaving out Abhishek and Gaikwad is a different story….”- Statement by former cricketer
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra shared his thoughts on the recent team selection for India’s upcoming white-ball series against Sri Lanka. Chopra spoke about some of the major decisions taken during the selection, including the inclusion of Riyan Parag in the squad despite his poor performance in the recent T20I series against Zimbabwe and the decision to give vice-captaincy to Shubman Gill in place of Hardik Pandya. Team India is scheduled to play three T20Is and three ODIs against Sri Lanka in Pallekele from July 27. Meanwhile, in a video posted on his YouTube channel, Chopra elaborated on the T20I squad announced for the series. He highlighted Shubman Gill’s new role and the selection of Parag over other batsmen like Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Aakash Chopra talked about the squad selected for the Sri Lanka tour In the video, Aakash Chopra said, “Shubman Gill is the vice-captain, and this is a big story. Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of the Indian team in the World Cup. He also performed very well. India also won the World Cup, but after that his name is not there as the vice-captain.” The former Indian then further said, “Riyan Parag’s name is in both the teams, in ODIs as well as T20Is. His name is there despite the Zimbabwe tour not being that good. Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s name is not there. I am talking about T20Is. Both of their names are not there, but Riyan Parag’s is there. This in itself tells a different story.” Parag could only score 24 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 88.88 during the T20 series against Zimbabwe. In contrast, Abhishek Sharma scored 124 runs in four innings including a century at a strike rate of 174.64, while Gaikwad scored 133 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 158.33. The first T20 match of the series against Sri Lanka will be played on 27 July in Pallekele and the ODI match will be played from 2 August in Colombo.

(Image Source: BCCI/X) BCCI recently announced the squad of Team India for the Sri Lanka tour starting from 27th July. Three ODIs and three T20 series will be played between the two teams on this tour. The selectors took a lot of time to announce this series. It is believed that there was a lot of debate between Gautam Gambhir, who recently became the head coach of Team India, and the selectors and only then the team was announced for this tour. This selection meeting of Team India lasted for several hours over two days. If reports are to be believed, there were differences of opinion as well as heated debates in the meeting. During the meeting itself, many players were called and discussions were held with them about long term planning. It is being said that, Surya being selected as the vice-captain before Hardik in captaincy and Gill being selected as the vice-captain before Rahul in ODIs is a very important step taken for the future of Indian cricket. The Indian Express report claims that this selection meeting was different from all other meetings as it was full of heated debates and disagreements. Phone calls were made to the players and the long term planning of the team management was explained to them. Players showed more trust in Suryakumar Yadav than Hardik Pandya According to the Indian Express report, there was also a view in the team selection meeting that not making the current vice-captain of the T20 team, i.e. Hardik Pandya, the captain would be unfair to him. Especially when he has performed amazingly during the World Cup. An Indian Express report claims that due to the trust of the players, the scales tilted in favor of Suryakumar Yadav. The report states that the ‘feedback’ received by the BCCI was that the players ‘trusted Yadav more than Pandya’ and were comfortable working under him. Surya’s man management is said to have impressed the selectors. When Ishan Kishan was about to leave the Indian camp midway through the South Africa tour last year, Yadav tried to convince him to stay back.

A meeting will be held in the AGM regarding Jay Shah as the next ICC chairman
The ICC Annual Conference will be held on 19 July in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) The ICC Annual Conference will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on July 19. The most important decision to be taken in this annual meeting is whether the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Jay Shah, will be appointed as the new ICC President in place of New Zealand’s Greg Barclay or not? Let us tell you, this conference will start with the board meeting on July 19. The UAE hosted the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 matches and a loss of more than $20 million is feared there. The financial details of the event have not been included in the 9-point agenda of the AGM. However, the board will discuss this in the form of a ‘post-incident report’ which is standard operating procedure. ICC sources revealed that, ‘Nothing can be said about this right now as Jay Shah still has 1 year left as the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. According to the rules, Jay Shah has to complete this term. However, if Jay Shah’s term as ICC President starts in 2025, then Barclay will not be able to complete his third term of 2 years which is from December 2024 to December 2026. There is also a school of thought that if the tenure of ICC President is changed from three terms of 2 years to two terms of 3 years, then it could last up to 6 years. So will Jay Shah be the next President of the International Cricket Council? It is believed that if Barclay’s current term becomes three years, Shah can remain as BCCI secretary for six years and can assume the post of ICC chairman for three years in 2025. After this term, he can return in 2028 and assume the post of board president. Barclay has been the ICC chairman since November 2020 when he received 11 out of 16 votes in the second round of voting and beat another contender Imran Khawaja. Meanwhile, 35-year-old Shah is in line to become the youngest leader of the global organisation. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
