IPL teams need to submit list of retained players by Nov 15: Official

The 10 IPL franchises have been asked to submit their list of retained players by November 15, a senior official of a franchise said on Sunday. It is understood that BCCI has set the ball rolling for next edition of IPL and the mini-auction will be held in the third week of December in Bengaluru. It is also learnt that even the salary cap is likely to be increased from Rs 90 to Rs 95 crore for the next season. However at the mini-auction, the franchises can bid for players with the balance amount left after what they spent during the last mega auction and also with the amount they get after releasing the players they want to give back to the auction pool. It is expected that most franchises will keep 15 core players and release the rest for them to enter the auction with at least 10 crore, if not more. Punjab Kings and CSK have Rs 3.45 and Rs 2.95 crore left respectively after the last auction while Lucknow Super Giants had exhausted their full purse. Delhi Capitals, Mumbai India

BCCI may lose Rs 955 cr if ICC doesn't get tax relief to host WC 2023

The BCCI could lose around Rs 955 crore (USD 116 million) if the central government sticks to its decision to levy 21.84 percent tax surcharge on ICC's broadcast revenue from the 2023 ODI World Cup, according to a Board report. India is to host next year's 50-over showpiece in October-November. Tax surcharge refers to "an additional charge, fee, or tax that is added to the cost of a good or service beyond the initially quoted price". A surcharge is often added to an existing tax and is not included in the stated price of the good or service. As per ICC norm, the host nation is required to get tax exemption from the government for hosting tournaments organised by the global body. Since India's tax rules don't allow such exemptions, the BCCI has already lost close to Rs 193 crore (USD 23.5 million) as the government didn't exempt tax surcharge for hosting the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup. The BCCI is still fighting that case in the ICC tribunal. "The next ICC major men's event, which is t

BCCI Prez issue turns political; TMC says BJP trying to humiliate Ganguly

Amid reports that Roger Binny is likely to replace Sourav Ganguly as the BCCI President, West Bengal's ruling TMC on Tuesday accused the BJP of "trying to humiliate" the former Indian skipper as it failed to induct him into the party. The BJP had tried to spread a message among people ahead of last year's Assembly elections that Ganguly, who is immensely popular in the state, would join the party, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh asserted. The TMC also claimed that it is an example of political vendetta' that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's son Jay Shah can continue as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary for a second term but Ganguly can't do so as its president. The BJP, however, dubbed the allegations as baseless, saying that the saffron camp never tried to induct the "Prince of Calcutta", as Ganguly is fondly called by his supporters, into its fold. Roger Binny, a member of the 1983 World Cup winning team, on Tuesday filed his nomination for the

Binny files nomination for post of BCCI prez, Shah likely to remain secy

Roger Binny, a member of the 1983 World Cup winning team, on Tuesday filed his nomination for the post of BCCI President and is likely to get the top job unopposed, Board vice President Rajeev Shukla said. Binny, 67, is so far the only candidate to have filed nomination for the post and if no more candidate emerges, he will replace Sourav Ganguly as BCCI chief when the Board holds its AGM in Mumbai on October 18. After hectic parleys and back-channel discussions in the past one week, it was decided that Binny would be the 36th Board president, one of the sources familiar with the development, said. Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, has also filed nomination and will continue as BCCI Secretary for a second consecutive term if no more candidate throws his hat in the ring. Shah is also expected to replace Ganguly as India's representative at the all powerful ICC Board. "Roger Binny has filed nomination for president's post, myself for the vice-president's post, Jay Sha

Binny may replace Ganguly as BCCI prez, Shah to remain secretary: Report

India's 1983 World Cup winning hero Roger Binny is likely to replace Sourav Ganguly as the BCCI President when the Board will hold its AGM on October 18, sources in the cricket body said on Tuesday. After hectic parleys and back-channel discussions in the past one week, it was decided that the 67-year-old from Bengaluru would be the 36th Board president, one of the sources familiar with the development, said. Jay Shah, son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will continue as BCCI Secretary for his second consecutive term. Shah is also expected to replace Ganguly as India's representative at the all powerful ICC Board. "An influential minister in the central government played a key role in deciding the positions in the Board set up," a BCCI source told PTI. Binny, though, is a surprise choice to head the BCCI. However, hints were dropped that his name will crop up for some position when Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) named him as its representative at BCCI AGM instead of

Bumrah out of T20 World Cup with back injury: BCCI secretary Jay Shah

India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup due to a back injury, the BCCI announced on Monday. That Bumrah is ruled out of the big-ticket event due to a stress fracture was first reported by the PTI on September 29. Bumrah's absence will certainly affect India's chances in the marquee event in Australia as the death bowling still remains a grey area. The BCCI was awaiting medical reports while the pacer did his rehab at the National Cricket Academy but it was a foregone conclusion that he would be out for months. "The BCCI Medical team has ruled out Team India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup squad. The decision was taken following a detailed assessment and in consultation with the specialists," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement. Bumrah was initially ruled out of the ongoing three-match T20I series against South Africa due to a back injury. While the BCCI will be naming a replacement for Bumrah in the squ

Kohli rested from final T20I against South Africa, confirms BCCI official

Star India batter Virat Kohli has been rested from the third and final T20 international against South Africa here on Tuesday. Following the series-clinching win in Guwahati on Sunday, Kohli flew to Mumbai on Monday morning. "He has been rested from the final T20I," said a BCCI official. After the final game against the Proteas, Kohli will link up with the squad in Mumbai from where the team is scheduled to leave for Australia on October 6 for the T20 World Cup. The former India captain smashed an unbeaten 49 off 28 balls on Sunday as India won the second T20I by 16 runs to take an unassailable lead in the three-match series. The last time Kohli was rested, from the away ODI and T20Is against the West Indies, questions were asked on the decision as he was going through a prolonged lean patch then. He took a month off the game and did not even touch his bat for the duration of the break, a first for Kohli in 10 years by his own admission. However, he is back to his best and has b

'Fingers crossed': Bumrah not out of T20 World Cup yet, says Sourav Ganguly

The BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that the injured Jasprit Bumrah is still not ruled out of the upcoming T20 World Cup and the clarity on his availability will come out in the next 2-3 days.

England offers to host Indo-Pak Test series, BCCI 'not interested': Report

England and Wales Cricket Board has informally offered to be the hosts if India and Pakistan plan to play a bilateral Test series but BCCI sources said chances of that happening in near future is "next to nil". The UK daily 'Telegraph' reported that "Martin Darlow, the deputy chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, has held talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board during the current Twenty20 series and offered England's grounds as venues for ideally a three-match Test series in future." While the ECB has made the offer for its own commercial gains, the powers that be in the BCCI laughed off the suggestions and said that no such possibilities might arise at least in next few years. "Firstly, ECB spoke to PCB about an Indo-Pak series and that's a bit weird. In any case, a series against Pakistan is not something that the BCCI will decide but it is the decision of the government. As of now, the stance remains the same. We only play Pakistan at multi-team events," a senior BCCI ..
