Meanwhile, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has given a big statement regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the Impact Player rule. We will decide in a few days- Jai Shah In IPL 2024, we got to see the highest total (287/3) in the history of the league and many big high-scoring matches under the Impact Player rule. Due to this rule, the difficulties for the bowlers increased and at the same time the role of all-rounders also almost ended. According to Times of India, Jay Shah, while talking about the future of the impact player rule in IPL, said, We had a long discussion about this in a recent meeting with the franchise owners. The impact player rule has its pros and cons. The negative thing is that it is eliminating the role of the all-rounder and the positive thing is that it gives the Indian player a chance to showcase his talent. We should also think about the broadcasters, who are paying a lot of money. But as an administrator, the game is important for me, we will decide in a few days. Jai Shah also gave a big statement regarding the mega auction Jay Shah was also asked about player retention ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, to which he replied, We have listened to everyone and now the decision is up to us. We have to look at both Majority and Minority. Some teams don’t want a mega auction and those franchises whose teams are uncertain want a mega auction. As a fan I feel consistency is important. But changing things makes it interesting and helps the game move forward.

“Don’t want to host it in India…” Why did Jay Shah reject the offer to host Women’s T20 World Cup in the country?
Jay Shah rejects ICC’s proposal to host ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Jay Shah (Pic Source-Twitter) Jay Shah on Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: There has been a political upheaval in Bangladesh in the last few days, due to which there is a tense atmosphere in Bangladesh. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 was scheduled to be held in Bangladesh. But given the tense atmosphere, it seems difficult for this tournament to be organized in Bangladesh. There was news that Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had requested India to host the World Cup tournament. After this, discussions started that this competition could be organized in India. But now big information is coming out that BCCI has rejected this request. It is being told that BCCI has taken this decision by giving more priority to the Test series against Bangladesh. Why did Jay Shah reject the request to host Women’s T20 World Cup in India? Speaking to the Times of India, Jai Shah said, “They had asked if BCCI could host the Women’s T20 World Cup, but I flatly refused. At that time we will be in the monsoon season and next year we have to host the Women’s ODI World Cup anyway. I do not want to create a misconception that we want to host consecutive World Cup tournaments.” Let us tell you that the Women’s T20 World Cup will be played in 2 grounds of Bangladesh from 3-20 October. But due to the coup in the country, the tournament seems unlikely to be organized. In such a situation, the ICC is keeping an eye on the whole matter. The series against Bangladesh is important: Jai Shah An exciting match of the Test series is going to be played between both the teams of India and Bangladesh. From September 19, both these teams will take the field for a series of 2 Test matches. Talking about this series, Jai Shah has said that the Test series against Bangladesh is very important for us. Actually, the Test series against Bangladesh will be important for the Indian team to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Both teams will play a series of 2 Tests and 3 T20 matches. The first match of the Test series will be played between 19 September and 23 September. This match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Bengaluru. The second match of the series will be played between 27 September and 1 October. After this the T20 series will start. 3 matches of the series will be played on 6, 9 and 12 October respectively.
“Is he not even a candidate for Test captaincy?”- Former cricketer raises questions on Pant not getting the captaincy in Duleep Trophy
Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced four teams for the Duleep Trophy 2024 on Wednesday, August 14. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, all senior cricketers including Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav will take part in the tournament. However, none of these senior cricketers have been named as captains. Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer have been handed the captaincy for the Duleep Trophy 2024. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra was particularly surprised by Pant not being named captain of any team. Pant will play under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran in this tournament, which is fine according to Chopra, but given Pant’s impact in red-ball cricket, he expects the 26-year-old to be in the race to become India’s captain in the coming days. Aakash Chopra made a big statement on Rishabh Pant becoming the captain In a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Rishabh Pant is not the captain. He has been selected in Abhimanyu Easwaran’s team. He is playing under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran, which is absolutely fine. However, is Rishabh Pant not a candidate for Test captaincy as well? I am a little surprised.” The former cricketer further said, “I personally do not agree with this because you have seen the best form of Rishabh Pant as a Test cricketer. He is the only wicketkeeper in the history of Indian cricket to have scored centuries in South Africa, England and Australia in Tests. He said, “Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and even Abhimanyu Easwaran are captains, but Pant is not the captain and in my opinion this is a big deal.” Let us tell you that Pant will play his first red-ball match after suffering multiple injuries following a car accident in December 2022. He is in the scheme of things for the upcoming Bangladesh Tests and the Duleep Trophy will be the perfect opportunity for him to prove his potential.
