Recently, during a discussion with former Goa captain Swapnil Asnodkar and Goa Cricket Association President Vipul Phadke, Shikha Pandey gave her reaction on the positive changes taking place in women’s cricket. The fast bowler stressed the role of tournaments like the Women’s Premier League (WPL). According to her, these new initiatives have opened new avenues for young women cricketers. Shikha Pandey was quoted by Sportstar as saying, I have played under-19 cricket for just one year, but now we have under-15 tournaments for girls. Then you have Under-23, which has been introduced by the BCCI. Earlier it used to be that after Under-19, all the girls were not able to make a place in the senior team. Sometimes the entire batch was washed away. Now because of the Under-23 tournament they all participate in it. Parents can also support their dreams Talking about her early days in cricket, Shikha said, When I started playing cricket, I had many other friends who were really good, but they could not continue playing further because they could not support their parents. Couldn’t convince. However, things have changed now, he said. Now with the WPL and many other tournaments happening, girls as young as five see a female cricketer playing on TV. And they too can dream big. Parents can also support their dreams. Second season of WPL this time in February Talking about Women’s Premier League, its second season can be played this time in New Delhi and Bangalore. It is noteworthy that the first season was played in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. However, this time there is every possibility of the tournament going to another city. The second season of WPL can start this time in the last week of February. read this also- PCB showed contempt to Naseem-Shadab, gave NOC to these 4 players to participate in BPL and ILT20
Rohit has been able to pull himself out of the World Cup defeat with great difficulty, made a shocking revelation
Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Rohit Sharma led from the front and scored a brilliant century (121* off 69 balls). Thanks to this inning, India won the third T20 match after the double super over against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on January 17 and won the series 3-0. After this match, Rohit had a special conversation with JioCinema and Sports18 and answered some interesting questions. 1) To what extent was India able to execute its plans in the 3-0 series win? We discussed a lot before the series. I had not played for a year, so I discussed ideas with Rahul bhai (Dravid). Although I was watching the match, I was not playing. I understood some things, so we wanted to implement them and also do something different. We wanted our bowlers to bowl differently, no one was comfortable bowling in the power play, so we had to use them there. Some people were not comfortable bowling in the death overs, we asked them to bowl there. 2) How difficult was it to recover from the World Cup defeat? I don’t think anyone needs inspiration here. All boys want to leave their mark. Not everyone gets a chance to play for India, so I’m sure all the boys who are here want to make the most of it. You can see that they are taking full advantage of the opportunities they are getting. With that approach, my and Rahul Bhai’s work has become very easy. We just need to provide clarity. 3) What did you do to reach this form after losing the World Cup? The 50 over World Cup is the biggest World Cup for me. It is not that I do not give importance to the T20 World Cup and the World Test Championship. But, we have grown up watching the 50-over World Cup. And when it happens in India it is a very big tournament. Unfortunately we could not win. The whole team was sad. I’m sure all the fans were sad too. But now we have another opportunity and we will focus on how to use that opportunity and win the World Cup. 4) How much practice did you take to play that reverse sweep and switch hit in the third T20I? I have been practicing it a lot in the nets. You have to play some shots to put pressure on the bowlers. When the ball is spinning and you can’t hit it straight, you have to try something new. I have been practicing reverse sweep and sweep for the last two years. You might have seen me playing him once or twice in Test matches. You have options and it is up to you how you use those options. The ball was turning and getting grip today, so I thought I would play with turn rather than going out and hitting it hard in front of the wicket.
Before the fourth T20I, this star player of New Zealand got infected with Corona, there was panic in the team!
New Zealand’s star opening batsman Devon Conway has recently been found Covid positive. Due to this, he has also been ruled out of the fourth T20 match to be played against Pakistan at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. The left-handed player was found Covid positive on Thursday and is currently in isolation at the team hotel in Christchurch. According to a statement issued by New Zealand Cricket (NZC), senior Canterbury batsman, Chad Bowes has been called up as Conway’s replacement. Conway is not the only one who has been told to isolate. New Zealand’s bowling coach Andre Adams has also been infected with Corona virus for this series and he has also been asked to isolate. Mitchell Santner was also Covid positive before Devon Conway Let us tell you that just before the start of the series, New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner was also found Covid positive. But later he rejoined the team after his test came negative. Mitchell Santner is currently commanding the team in the absence of injured Kane Williamson. Let us tell you that, New Zealand has already won this five-match bilateral series and hence, Conway’s unavailability will not affect the outcome of the competition. However, the Kiwis would like to win the series to improve their T20I record at home. The New Zealand team, which has already won the series by winning the first three matches of the series, will try to whitewash Pakistan. Whereas Pakistan will try to save this match. Ever since Shaheen Shah Afridi took command of Pakistan’s T-20 team, the team is looking for its first win. While on one hand Babar Azam has scored consecutive half-centuries in all three matches, the other batsmen are not able to bat as per expectations.

Virat and Dhoni’s names are also included in this list. Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) When it comes to the most disappointing way to get out in cricket, the first one is runout. Many times, it is the fault of one of the two batsmen and very rarely it happens that you get run out because of a fielder. Very often it happens that either the batsman calling for a run has taken a wrong decision, or the other batsman did not hear the call, or some other reason. Indian players are also quite infamous for being run out in international cricket. The latest example of this was seen in the first T20 match between India and Afghanistan in Mohali on 11 January. Rohit Sharma hit a straight shot and ran to take the run, but his teammate Shubman Gill was watching the ball and did not react. The result was that Rohit returned to the pavilion on the second ball of the match without opening his account. Top 5 Indian Players involved in most Run-Outs in T20I International cricket 1) Ravindra Jadeja Ravindra Jadeja. (Photo Source: BCCI) Ravindra Jadeja He is one of the fastest running cricketers on the field. He is also very quick between the wickets at a distance of 22 yards. However, sometimes he fails to understand that his teammates are not as fast as he is. He is seen running fast between the wickets along with a player like MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. But many times he forgets that the other batsman at the other end is not as fast as him. Due to this, Jadeja also had to be run out and his count in T20 matches has increased four times. He has been run out four times in T20Is and his highest score while being out in this mode was seven runs.
‘I have the skills to win matches for England’ James Anderson said about retirement from Test career
Anderson has turned 41 James Anderson. (Image Source: Getty Images) Before visiting India for the five-match Test series against India, England cricket team’s legendary fast bowler James Anderson has spoken from his heart about his retirement. Anderson says that at present he has no plans to take retirement. However, when 37-year-old former England fast bowler Stuart Broad announced his retirement in the middle of the Ashes series 2023, there was strong speculation that Anderson might also retire along with Broad. Because the 41-year-old’s performance in the Ashes series was average, he took only 5 wickets in the four Test matches played in the Ashes series. Whereas during this period he lost runs at an average of 85.40. On the other hand, before playing the role of lead bowler in the bowling lineup for England in the five-match Test series against India, Anderson has made a big statement about his retirement. Anderson has said that people come and congratulate me on a wonderful career. James Anderson gave a big statement Let us tell you that while talking to The Telegraph about his retirement, James Anderson said – It feels bad when people say this (congratulations on retirement), but you just have to move forward. At present I have no thoughts about retirement. People come up to me and congratulate me on my wonderful cricket career. I tell him that it was Stuart Broad who has retired from Test cricket. That’s not me. I still feel like I have a lot to give to this team. I have the skills to win matches for England and as long as I have it, I don’t think I should retire just because of age.

Aditya Birla Group leads the race to get title sponsorship of IPL
Currently Tata Group is the title sponsor of IPL. TATA IPL Trophy. (Image Source: BCCI-IPL) India’s multinational business conglomerate Aditya Birla Group seems to be ahead in the race to get the title sponsorship of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Let us tell you that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had invited bids for the 2024-28 cycle, in which the reserve price was Rs 350 crore per year, which comes to Rs 1750 crore for five years. However, according to the latest media reports, Aditya Birla Group has made a bid of Rs 500 crore per annum, which is about Rs 750 crore more than the previous bid. It is noteworthy that Tata Group has remained the title sponsor of IPL for the last two years after Vivo company ended the IPL title sponsorship deal midway in 2021, for which it has given Rs 670 crore to BCCI in the last two years. However, now the board wants title sponsorship for the next five years, for which the board had issued tenders last year on December 12, 2023. The last date for submission of bids for this tender was January 13, 2024 till 5 pm. Also, no Chinese company will be able to participate in this bid. So in this bid, BCCI seems to be getting the highest bid from Aditya Birla Group. However, if BCCI’s rules related to title sponsorship are followed, then the current sponsor Tata Group will have the right to bid first, but for this they will have to make a bigger bid than Aditya Birla Group. On the other hand, if Aditya Birla Group is successful in winning the title sponsorship of IPL, then it will become very famous among the youth of India as well as the world, due to which its 65 billion dollar business seems to be benefiting a lot.

“Retiring out means your innings is over…”- Aakash Chopra is giving provocative statements against Rohit Sharma
Many exciting moments were seen in the third and final T20 match played between India and Afghanistan on January 17 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The result of the match came out after two super overs. In the end, Team India registered a thrilling victory in the second super over. Many criticized Rohit Sharma and the umpires after the India captain batted in the second Super Over after being retired in the first Super Over. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra, who was a part of the commentary panel, also gave his stand on the matter and made a surprising statement. Akash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma He said that the opening batsman should not be allowed to bat. Chopra, 46, said it was a wrong decision. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, “Rohit Sharma retired out. Retired Hurt means that there is an external injury on the field of play and the umpire allows you to bat again. Retiring out means that your innings is over, you cannot bat again. So as soon as he went out, I said in the commentary that he cannot come to bat. This was done because he had lost his wicket. Rinku Singh and Rohit Sharma came back and I thought it was wrong. Rohit Sharma should not have been allowed to bat. Aakash Chopra further gave his statement regarding India’s decision to call Sanju Samson as the third batsman after the dismissal of Rinku Singh in the second super over. The former cricketer said that, since left-arm bowler Farid Ahmed was bowling at that time, the team management should have sent Shivam Dubey to bat instead of Sanju Samson. The former opener further said, “When Rinku was out, Sanju Samson came and I was surprised. Nothing against Sanju but he was already out for a duck on the first ball. He did not get a chance to bat much as he was out on the very first ball. Shivam Dubey was sitting outside and you did not send him. Farid Ahmed was bowling. Dubey has also played left arm fast ball. I was surprised. We scored only 11 runs. In fact, we didn’t even play the full six balls, we got out on the fifth ball itself.” Also read: After being wiped out in the T20 series against India, Afghanistan Cricket Board took a big step regarding this player.

Women’s Hundred: England and Wales Cricket Board took this big step to make the league famous
ECB has increased the salaries of every team. Women’s Hundred (Image Credit- Twitter X) The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is going to invest 8 lakh euros in the Women’s The Hundred tournament to attract the best players from around the world. After this decision of ECB, the disparity in gender pay in the league will now reduce. While men’s salaries are going to be capped for the third consecutive season. According to ESPN Cricinfo, the salary of each team in the Women’s The Hundred tournament can be increased by up to 40 percent. Currently, every team is getting 2.50 lakh Euros for the salary of women players, but now after the investment by ECB, every team is going to get 3.50 lakh Euros. After this, the top 2 players who used to earn 31,250 Euros last season will now be seen earning 50,000 Euros. Also, let us tell you that there was a huge difference in the salary of Women’s The Hundred and the Women’s Premier League to be held in India. But now after ECB’s investment this gap seems to be filling. It is worth noting that in the WPL, Smriti Mandhana of Royal Challengers Bangalore gets the highest payment of Rs 3.4 crore (3.20 lakh Euros), which is much more than the 31,250 Euros per player in Women’s The Hundred. Apart from this, Australia’s Tahila Magrath and Ashley Gardner also get a good amount of money in WPL. After this decision of the ECB, the salaries of the players are going to remain the same in the third season of The Hundred. No change will be seen in this. Last season, the highest cricketer was paid 1.25 lakh euros. Earlier, the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) had recommended to the ECB to increase the salaries of players in the men’s and women’s The Hundred tournaments by 2025, because there was a huge difference in the salaries of both. But before the upcoming season, the board has taken steps towards reducing this gap.
