(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..!

You should not play forever and you should not stop the players either. So when it is your time, enjoy it, celebrate it. What a great way to go out and now look forward to the next generation.

Kolkata Knight Riders won the title for the third time by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final match. So now cricket fans are waiting for the upcoming season. However, this time a mega auction is going to be held for the upcoming season. As per the IPL rules, all teams can retain 3 out of the total players in the team and buy one player under the Right to Match Card (RTM) under the 3+1 strategy. But before the start of IPL 2025, according to some media reports, Rajasthan Royals and Indian team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has joined Chennai Super Kings. So after joining the team, franchise CEO Kashi Vishwanathan has also entrusted him with a big responsibility. Ashwin joined Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Let us tell you that before the start of IPL 2025, experienced spinner Ashwin has joined five-time champion Chennai Super Kings. According to a report of Indian Express, Chennai Super Kings can buy Ravichandran Ashwin in the mega auction of IPL, because Ashwin is not seen in the main core of Rajasthan Royals. In such a situation, if Chennai is unable to get Ashwin in the auction, then it can also get him through trade. On the other hand, regarding Ashwin, franchise CEO Kashi Vishwanathan said – It all depends on the auction, because we have no control over it. We have to wait and see if the opportunity presents itself. But first and foremost, Ashwin will be heading our High Performance Centre and looking after all cricket-related work. We have got him on board in our setup and he is now part of the CSK venture, while at TNCA he will also play first division cricket for the India Cements team.
T20 World Cup 2024: Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi rejects the responsibility of vice-captaincy of Pak team
T20 World Cup is starting from 2 June Shaheen Shah Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, some media reports have claimed that Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has turned down the offer of vice-captaincy of the team before the upcoming T20 World Cup. So after Afridi turned down the captaincy of the national team, reports of soured relations between Shaheen and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have also started gaining momentum. If ESPN Cricinfo reports are to be believed, PCB wanted to make Shaheen an assistant to Babar Azam in the upcoming T20 World Cup, but now the 24-year-old bowler has directly refused to take this role in the Pakistani team. It is worth noting that recently Shaheen Afridi was removed from the captaincy of the T20 team of the Pakistan cricket team and Bazam Azam was given the captaincy of all three formats. However, after this incident, once again an attempt was made by the PCB to bring Shaheen into the team’s leadership group, but now the cricketer has refused to take this role. So after Shaheen rejected the offer of vice-captaincy, PCB can appoint Shadab Khan or Mohammad Rizwan as the vice-captain of the Pakistani team in the upcoming T20 World Cup. On the other hand, if we give you information about the upcoming T20 World Cup, then this time this multinational tournament is going to start from June 2 under the joint hosting of West Indies and USA. On the other hand, Pakistan will start its title campaign with a match against USA on June 6. This match between the two teams will be played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
