BCCI

A day after the reports, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has now publicly rejected claims that Lord's would host Rohit's final international appearance.

Former national selector Saba Karim has urged the BCCI to scrutinise the Indian team management's role in the unprecedented twin T20I series debacles against Ireland and England and take appropriate measures. India lost 0-2 to Ireland and were whitewashed 0-4 by England in back-to-back T20I series defeats. "After such a disastrous series - a whitewash with huge margins of defeat - no one can abdicate responsibility - not only the support staff including Head Coach Gautam Gambhir but also the captain (Shreyas Iyer) and the vice-captain (Tilak Varma)," Karim told PTI during an interaction. "I think, these people are the think-tank of the Indian side, more so when you're travelling outside India. The BCCI must examine their role and responsibility for the debacle," the former India stumper added. The former India selector, however, gave the newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer, the benefit of doubt and urged selectors to persist with him. "I hope that once you have invested in a capt

The BCCI will be organizing a review meeting of Indian team's poor show resulting in T20 series defeats against minnows Ireland and England once the ODI series gets over on July 19, according to secretary Devajit Saikia, who made it clear that the Board will not take any "knee-jerk" decisions. The Indian team lost 0-2 against Ireland and is already down 0-3 against England with a match left on Friday. However, it is learnt that there is no imminent threat to head coach Gautam Gambhir's future as he has a contract with the BCCI till 2027 ODI World Cup. "The BCCI is currently observing the performance of the Indian T20 team which has not been up to the mark in the ongoing series against England," BCCI secretary Saikia told PTI on Friday from the sidelines of the ICC Annual Conference in Edinburgh.. The BCCI secretary said that it will be an overall assessment of the performance but the board won't be taking any knee-jerk reaction. "However this is not something abnormal and can happ

A 15-year-old schoolboy needs to be eased into a senior team set-up, said BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia as he explained the Board's decision to allow Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's parents to accompany him on the white-ball tour of Ireland and England later this month. The big-hitting Sooryavanshi, who has earned his maiden call-up in the Indian T20 set-up, has been selected for seven games (two vs Ireland and five vs England) on the tour which begins on June 26 in Belfast. "You see, not all national teams at the senior level have a 14 or 15-year-old in their squad. After many decades, we have someone like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi," Saikia told PTI in an exclusive interview. "At one point in time, it was Sachin Tendulkar (16 and half at time of Test debut)who made it to the national team at such a young age. When such a young kid is part of the senior team, there are obviously a lot of issues that can crop up," he added without elaborating. "Therefore, to make him comfortable and help him get

The venue, home to IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, has emerged as the frontrunner after months of discussions involving Cricket Australia, the BCCI, and the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association

The Central Information Commission on Monday said the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India is not a "public authority" under the RTI Act as it is neither owned, controlled nor substantially financed by the government. The Commission dismissed an appeal seeking information regarding the provisions and authority under which BCCI represents India and selects players for national and international cricket tournaments. The CIC said BCCI is a private autonomous body registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act and was not established by the Constitution, Parliament, state legislature or through a government notification. "The BCCI cannot be classified as a 'Public Authority' within the meaning of Section 2(h) of the RTI Act and the provisions of the Act are therefore inapplicable to it in the facts and circumstances of the present case," Information Commissioner P R Ramesh said in his order.

One of the biggest concerns raised in the advisory involved unauthorised guests visiting player and staff hotel rooms without informing the team manager.
