For some time now, many people are very excited about T20 cricket while they are completely ignoring Test cricket. Jai Shah. (Photo Source: Twitter) Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah wants to take important steps to improve Test cricket even more. Under his leadership, the Apex Cricket Council had decided that Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan should be removed from the central contract when both these players refused to play in the Ranji Trophy last season. Not only this, Jai Shah has also taken many important steps to promote women’s Test cricket. He also decided to give equal pay to the central contract of women players. For some time now, many people are very excited about T20 cricket while they are completely ignoring Test cricket. Apart from Test cricket in Australia, England and India, no major steps have been taken to save this format in other countries. Regarding this, Jai Shah has suggested the ICC to allocate a dedicated fund for Test cricket so that many matches can be played in this format in other countries as well. According to Shah, if the board approves, a special fund can be provided so that maximum Test cricket matches can be played in as many countries as possible. According to Cricbuzz, Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary Jay Shah said, “I am a member of ICC’s finance and commercial affairs. I have suggested that there should be a dedicated fund for Test cricket. Hosting Test matches is quite expensive. If the ICC board approves, we can do it. We are trying to create a special fund for Test cricket.” Test cricket is losing viewers and broadcasters: Jay Shah Jai Shah further said, ‘Test cricket is losing spectators and broadcasters. We also have to look at their feelings. As a fan, if you buy a 5-day ticket and the match ends in two days, you do not get any refund. I am very emotional about this thing. This is not always seen but now we should take a big step regarding this. However, if sometimes the opposing team plays poorly, how can I help in that? When our players play well, I cannot tell my players to ensure that the match lasts long. However, it is very important for us to think about everyone. This is the real status of Pakistan..!

If we talk about the Indian fast bowler, Mohammed Shami had earlier suffered an ankle injury and has been away from cricket since then. After a successful surgery, he has been in rehab for the last few months. Although he was asked to play in the upcoming Duleep Trophy to prove his match fitness before returning to the national team, the Indian board BCCI probably decided to give him enough time to recover completely. Currently, Shami has started bowling at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where he is working with the coaches to regain match fitness. Notably, the pacer is focused on the two Test matches against Bangladesh for his return to home ground. The series against Bangladesh will begin on September 19.
“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.

(Image Source: BCCI/X) Former head coach of Team India Rahul Dravid has made a big statement about Indian team’s star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Dravid said that the truth is completely opposite to what fans think about captain Rohit Sharma, star batsman Virat Kohli or other big players. Dravid also made it clear that there is no ego or any kind of problem between the big players. While talking to Star Sports, the former Indian batsman said, “I believe that teams are really led by a group of senior players. They are led by the captain. So, I think it was a privilege to work with Rohit. I think he has been a fantastic leader in these two and a half years. People are really attracted to him and the team. I think that makes a lot of difference.” Managing high profile cricketers is not a difficult task- Rahul Dravid During this, Dravid also said that he never found it difficult to manage high-profile cricketers. He said, “There were many other senior players in the team, be it Virat, Jasprit Bumrah or Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket. Many Indian cricketers are big names, they are superstars and many people follow them. Sometimes people think that they will have a lot of ego and it will be very difficult to manage them. But actually it is just the opposite. A lot of these superstars are actually very humble about their preparation. They are humble about their work. And that is why they are superstars.” Dravid further said, “Look at 37-year-old Ashwin today. Even at this age, he is ready to adapt. He is ready to learn. This is just an example. Of course, at times you have to manage him, manage his body, manage the workload and there are many such things. But honestly, it was not very difficult. I had a good group of people around me and I am happy that we were able to create a good atmosphere. But a lot of credit for this goes to the captain and the seniors.”
