PCB rejected the news of getting Champions Trophy hybrid model, said- people write anything to make news
A PCB source told India Today on Friday, November 8, that Pakistan has not considered a hybrid model and is keen to host the entire tournament across three venues – Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. This clarification comes at a time when there is speculation that the International Cricket Council will announce the Champions Trophy schedule on November 11. ICC will soon announce the schedule of Champions Trophy Reports claim that the ICC will announce the schedule of the eight-team tournament without confirming the venue. PCB source said that, “Hybrid model is not under consideration. People write anything claiming to have XYZ sources. People write anything just to get some ideas. As of now, we have not decided anything about this. Our stand remains the same.” Pakistan previously hosted the Asia Cup in 2023 in a hybrid model, through which India played its games in Sri Lanka. The final was also played in Sri Lanka. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not stated its stand on the senior men’s team going to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. BCCI will remain in touch with the Government of India for this. According to the provisional schedule proposed by the PCB, the Champions Trophy match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is to be held in Lahore on March 1 next year. The tournament will start on 19 February 2025 with the first match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The final will be held on March 9 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. According to the temporary schedule, all India’s matches have been held in Lahore due to security and logistical reasons.
“People give credit to Rishabh Pant but the real hero of 2021 BGT win was Pujara” – Tim Paine’s surprising statement
Cheteshwar Pujara & Tim Paine (Photo Source: Former Australian captain Tim Paine recently opened up about how important Cheteshwar Pujara’s role was in India’s memorable 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win. Paine said that Pujara played the most important role in that series win but people still give his credit to Rishabh Pant. In the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after suffering a humiliating defeat in Adelaide, India, without their regular captain Virat Kohli and several key senior players, made a spectacular comeback and won the series 2-1. On the 2020-21 Australia tour, Team India won the last Test match of the series, which was played at the Gabba ground, by three wickets, in which Rishabh Pant played the match-winning innings. That innings of Rishabh Pant was recorded in the pages of history. Pant is considered the hero of the 2020-21 Australia vs India Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has a different opinion about it. He believes that because of Cheteshwar Pujara, Team India had captured the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy. The player who won the series for India in the last series was Cheteshwar Pujara – Tim Paine Tim Paine said on the Grade Cricketers podcast, ‘From what I remember, a lot of people talk about Rishabh Pant, in the last series in Australia, but the man who won the series for India was Cheteshwar Pujara. He had demoralized us and our fast bowlers. He was continuously getting the ball hit on his body, but was getting up again and again. It still has its place in Test cricket. Let us tell you that in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pujara may not have scored a century, but he spent a long time at the crease, and tired the Australian bowlers. Pujara had scored 271 runs in the four-match Test series, of which 77 was his best score. Whereas Rishabh Pant had scored 274 runs in the series.

Sajid Khan said, ‘I do not scare anyone but you people say so. God has given me such a look that even when I laugh, people get scared. I would like to thank God that we won this series. There was no such pressure at all. I was making a comeback and there were some people who fully supported me.

England’s “The Hundred” league is fooling people; Lalit Modi told what scam is going on!
Lalit Modi, the main man behind IPL, called the financial structure of ECB a scam. Captain James Vince lifts the trophy as the Southern Brave are champions after The Hundred Final. (Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images) The flagship initiative of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), ‘The Hundred League’ is a unique offering for cricket fans as they have never seen a 100-ball game played before. It was introduced as a variation on the T20 format, aimed at increasing the popularity of cricket along the lines of the Indian Premier League (IPL). To make this new league a success, the ECB also contacted several IPL franchises so that they could take stake in the teams of the Hundred. Lalit Modi, the main man behind IPL, called the financial structure of ECB a scam. He believes that many other major franchise cricket leagues are already in a strong position and the Hundred has been able to attract only a limited number of international fans. He has warned those investing in England’s The Hundred. ‘They are trying to create a lot of buzz and excitement about a tournament which is actually not as important as they are making it out to be,’ Lalit Modi told Cricbuzz. ‘The Hundred’ league tournament is fooling people: Lalit Modi Lalit Modi tweeted on his ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handle- “The ECB’s figures regarding earnings from international TV rights for the Hundred League do not make sense given the increasing competition from leagues like the IPL. “It seems unlikely that ‘The Hundred’ will be able to attract an international audience to justify these inflated figures.” Hundred League is finding it difficult to compete with CPL’s profits: Lalit Modi It is noteworthy that Lalit Modi started IPL in 2008. It is believed that BCCI had earlier rejected his idea in which he had proposed to introduce a club-based format of cricket like football in India. However, when India won the T20 World Cup in 2007, IPL got approval and was loved by the Indian audience. Lalit Modi had offered US$1 billion to buy ‘The Hundred’, but the ECB rejected it. He further added, “The worst part is that ‘The Hundred’ is struggling to even compete with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in terms of profits, which is a clear indication of its financial weakness. ‘The Hundred’ league is in a weak position financially.”

‘There is no need to concentrate it in the hands of a few people’, Rahul Dravid’s big statement on Indian cricket came out
We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people, we need to make it egalitarian – Rahul Dravid Rahul Dravid (Image Credit- Twitter X) Under the coaching of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title in June. After this his tenure ended and now he will be seen as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Meanwhile, he has made a big statement about Indian cricket. He believes that Indian cricket is very powerful. Let us tell you that there is no dearth of talented cricketers in India and this is because cricket is being played all over India and many such young players have emerged from there who have performed brilliantly in IPL and domestic tournaments. After this, some of them have made their name at the international level. Former Indian coach Rahul Dravid believes that these young players are responsible for the change that has come in Indian cricket. Indian cricket is very strong and powerful- Rahul Dravid Dravid was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “If you look at Indian cricket today, Indian cricket is very strong, it is very powerful. One of the big reasons for this is that talent comes from everywhere, from all over the country. Even if there were talented boys in small places, they had to come to big cities to play cricket, but today I think you see in Indian cricket that boys are coming from everywhere.” He continued, “You just look at the standard of Ranji Trophy. In the old days when you played in South Zone apart from Hyderabad or Tamil Nadu, I think it would be fair to say that not many other teams can take it lightly, but certainly you can take it a little more lightly.” Dravid said, we need to strengthen the clubs. We don’t need to concentrate cricket in the hands of a few people. We need to make cricket egalitarian, we need it to be everywhere. You can’t have talent or facilities concentrated in only one or two places. To get the best out of the talent, we need to ensure that young players are getting access to good infrastructure in every part.
