India vs England: Ticket sales for second Test in Chennai from Monday

The MA Chidamabaram Stadium's three stands -- I, J and K -- will be thrown open to spectators for an international match for the first time since 2012 when it hosts the second India-England Test from February 13. The three stands were sealed after the 2011 World Cup owing to various issues, depriving the city the opportunity to host matches at various events, including the World T20 in 2016 and the IPL final in 2019. An exception was made when the stands were opened for an ODI between India and Pakistan in 2012. Tickets for the second Test, to be played here from February 13 to 17, will go on sale from February 8, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) Secretary R S Ramasaamy said on Sunday. Around 15,000 tickets will be sold and they will be available online only, he said. A TNCA press release said tickets for general public will be sold only through www.paytm.com & www.insider.in, Paytm App and Paytm Insider App from Monday 10 am.

Ajinkya fulfilled his responsibility with flying colours, says Virat Kohli

India captain Virat Kohli on Thursday said his relationship with Ajinkya Rahane is based on mutual trust and hailed his deputy for fulfilling his responsibility with "flying colours" in Australia.

India's decision to not play Kuldeep Yadav is ridiculous, says Vaughan

Former skipper Michael Vaughan on Friday slammed India for leaving left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav out of the opening Test against England, calling it a "ridiculous decision". Yadav has been warming the bench for more than three months now, including the tour of Australia, where he featured in just one ODI. With Ravindra Jadeja ruled out of the first two Tests against England due to an injury, many former players, including Irfan Pathan, had backed Yadav for a place in the team. "Ridiculous decision by #India not to play @imkuldeep18!!! If he isn't going to play at home with the injuries they have when is he going to play!!! #INDvENG," Vaughan wrote on his twitter handle. Yadav missed out again on Friday with India going with left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem, who was on standby, for the first Test in Chennai after spin bowling all-rounder Axar Patel was ruled out. Yadav has so far played six Tests and picked 24 wickets. He played his last Test against Australia at Sydney in January
