Nothing complex, to my understanding Saudi Arabia needs more people to visit their country. In the past the country was completely connected with traditional activities. Now it want things to be modernised that could make more people visit the country. The country is planning to have different streams of income apart from the oil. Earlier the country used to be more friendly with USA, and now the country want to be independent. So, different steps have been taken. One of which is the cricket league.

All of this revenue might go down if Saudi Arabia is able to start thier own cricket league with or without the help of BCCI. At first BCCI had straight away said no Indian players will be allowed to participate now it seems they might allow.

If Indian players are not allowed to participate in the extremely cash rich Saudi league still they would get other players and BCCI might lose most of the foreign players this why BCCI might agree in sending the Indian players. They also might buy some stakes in that league.

This is what I am hearing on multiple social media channels. What do you think?

Ireland is still a new team in test cricket. In a decade time they would be far better than team like Bangladesh and even Srilanka. It was obvious that they would be defeated by Srilanka in such a manner. The test match is being played in Galle stadium which is known for spin. The Irish batters are far behind in playing on spin wickets. I am expecting somewhat similar result in the next test match too.

Today's 27th Match of Indian Premier League has already started. Punjab Kings team won the toss and decided to bowl today. Royal Challengers Bangalore came to bat. Scored 63 runs in 7 overs. Royal Challengers Bangalore have not lost any wicket so far. Faf in batting.  du Plessis scored 28 runs off 19 balls. Virat Kohli scored 32 runs off 23 balls. Looks like Virat Kohli will score good runs.

Lucknow Supergiant has replaced Mark Wood with Naveen-ul-Haq. And Naveen-ul-Haq's bowling was quite good in this match. However, he could not pick up any wickets. However, Naveen-ul-Haq scored the least runs in the LSG team. This bowler gave only 19 runs in 4 overs. So the decision not to include Mark Wood does not seem to have been a risky one. But Rajasthan's performance really disappointed me. They managed to collect more than 80 for the first wicket pair. Despite having so many experienced batsmen at the crease, they were not able to collect 154 runs in this match. This is very sad.

The announcement of the team leaving out the tournament's highest wicket-taker Mark Wood from the starting eleven was a real surprise. But despite keeping him out of the team, the performance of the LSG bowlers was outstanding. Batting failure LSG batsmen managed to score only 154 runs in this IPL event 154 runs is a very low score especially to win against Rajasthan. But the LSG bowlers made the target of 155 runs a much bigger one. Their team won by 10 runs on their brilliant bowling. But by winning this match, only LSG's points have increased but Rajasthan is number one in the points table with equal number of points.

This is the main reason they are not improving. I'd say give them (Afg and Ire) 8-10 tests every year and see how much they will improve in the next 5 years.

Likes of New Zealand and India etc also took ages to improve in test cricket. The former won their first test match after losing 40-ish odd matches.

I know the UAE squad lacks experienced players. And they have no long-term plans. Also, most of the players in their squad are expatriates of Indian, Pakistani, or Omani origin. But now the team is improving as it is. I think UAE will think about the future of their cricket. If they move forward with long-term planning, the team will become stronger in the future. They have proved that they have the capability. Now they need a world-class coach. Hope the UAE Board will take Khan Cricket very seriously

Riyan Parag was picked by Rajasthan Royals as a batsman only. I have not seen Riyan Parag bowling till now. Riyan has not been able to bat well in any match even though he was selected as a batsman. Rajasthan Royals management signed Parag at a huge cost. He was unbeaten with 15 off 12 balls in the last match against LSG. His chance was to become a hero by bringing victory to Rajasthan in this match. However, the inclusion of RIyan Parag was a loss project for Rajasthan Royals.

Parag failed to prove himself in every match.  Cricket is a game of performance if nepotism is here then it can never bring good for the team. Even if Parag is very much liked by Sanju Samson, he has to perform and make his place in the team otherwise he will never bring anything good to the team.

Im surprised Canada is not a valid alternative though it will depend which border you are closer to and prices might be cheaper in Mexico but for quality assurance I'd want a company who regularly available personally.  People in Europe goto Turkey maybe because of the very weak currency standard it can mean prices are cheaper then having work done privately.  Though its also the case that national coverage of citizens is much better in Europe overall its not perfect and obvious the cosmetic aspect would mean private work needed quite often.

Well, I cannot say I am glad for you... because the rest of the world (non-aggressors) are suffering because of Russia. The cost of fertilizer has gone up considerably, because the Ukraine has been one of the largest suppliers of fertilizer and that is pushing up food cost and inflation.

The Fiat currencies has taken a blow and many prices on the financial markets have received a lot of crashes, since the war started. They say, "When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers the most" ...and the rest of the world are the grass. (the people that are not part of this war) 

You don't need to worry about the odds from Biden or Kamala because chances are just a percentage of winning and not necessarily the truth.
Regarding the Covid wave, it might be very influential, especially in terms of the economy, but it seems that the Covid wave will not really be like a few years ago and if it has an effect, it might only affect economic and financial inflation.
Biden is indeed quite old with his current age which is 80 years old but he is still quite healthy so the risk is there but not too big to get to 18 months eighth.

I can't believe it how come Italy is the winner last EURO edition is not favorite for winning EURO 2024? seems crazy with this odds predicting because Italy success defeated England in final last EURO 2020 is not favorite team? however not qualify in World Cup 2022 its not comparison why Italy have bigger odds or not favorite in EURO 2024. I think beside Germany as host keep believing with magician from  Italy success back to back winning EURO.

Even now the oil source is their major revenue, and the country plan to generate revenue through different sources. This is how it is possible to stand strong, even if the oil revenue gets disturbed as we can't expect things to be same as now. As said Saudi Arabia have spent big on Football and now the prime focus is upon Cricket as it holds a big fanbase from the Asian countries.

More restrictions were relaxed and the government is trying to make Western people get into the country. This is kind of plan to make people invest into their country. Rather than money it is the visibility they get through it. Even now for IPL they're (visit Saudi) is the official sponsor.

If you have gone so far then do another favour and give some figures of ICC revenue also, so we all have an idea how mighty BCCI is when compared with another boards.

It is all about the exposure to test format cricket. Playing more test matches Ireland team will improve. The team might've played around 5 test matches, in that they've performed better in few matches. Slowly they should avoid the innings loss and try to make some good runs. Maybe the players could score better if they play same as they play limited over matches. When they try to play slow they weren't able to stand wickets as well as unable to score good runs.
