India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod]

Binny is a puppet of Jay Shah, that is the reason we don't see him actively being part of the decision as we have seen through the PR agencies of Jay Shah. I agree with you but look how much media this nepo kid is still getting and most probably he will get more after he shifts the CT to some neutral ground.

IMO when nepo kids start producing good results, we should move on and judge them by their intentions and the hard work they put in.

I do not think he will agree with the hybrid model after becoming the ICC chairperson. I feel he will use his powers to get all boards to move the venue. That is what he has been doing after becoming the BCCI secretary. Currently the situation in Pakistan is not that friendly for the tournament to happen without any issue.

I am confident that the upcoming ICC tournament will be shifted to a new venue.

I highly doubt that because it would be unethical and overall look ugly on his part. From time to time, ICC does bend its knee in front of BCCI, but these actions will further damage its reputation. Recently, ICC also allocated $50-$70 Million to PCB for CT and it won't make sense to relocate the complete tournament.   

If by any chance there is some terrorist attack then it's another ball game and can happen due to security reasons, otherwise, I don't see alternate option to the "Hybrid Model"

I do not think there will a terrorist attack as these Pakistani guys have been banning the whole of the city before an international match. Yes, the threat is very high and I don't think the ICC will take any risk. Looking at the current situation and what is happening currently in that country, I don't think any team or thier respective board would be interested in CT happening in Pakistan.

I also don't think a hybrid model will be needed as I feel the tournament is going to shift to a new location with a new host. In all probability it will be UAE and India both hosting the game or UAE all by itself.

As no one is discussing the ongoing bilateral test series between India and Bangladesh, why not initiate a discussion about the match on the dedicated thread? What do you guys think about the ongoing test match that is currently in its 4th day? I am confident that Bangladesh will suffer an innings defeat in the first test match as they are struggling against the formidable Indian bowling attack. Ashwin is the all-rounder, so India is in a comfortable position at the end of day 3. What do you guys think about his excellent role again in a test game while representing the Indian side?

It's already going on in a dedicated test thread.

After 3-4 rounds of meetings. IPL committee came up with their guidelines. Not happy with the impact player rule as it's bad for genuine all rounders.

- Purse is increasing but still feels way too slow to me. It should've been around INR 200 crore, sadly we won't reach there anytime soon.
- Players in the Playing XI will earn an extra amount, which could touch INR 1 crore, given he's playing all the matches.
- The number 5 rule is specifically made for Poms and Aussie lol
- The number 6 rule came because of the antics of English players, I believe it would be applied individually and from case to case.
- The number 7 rule is for Dhoni only.

PS: Waiting for the moment, they start thinking about the fan's experience in the stadium.

Is anyone watching Irani Cup?

Abhimanyu Easwaran needs a good PR team.

No, I am not watching the Irani Cup, since you mentioned Abhimanyu Easwaran I did a Google search and found out that he missed his double century just by 9 runs. He does need a good PR team from now on for him to get noticed by the selectors. Is this the first time that he has batted so well in domestic cricket or he has been consistent? I saw his age and it seems he is losing time as he is already 29 years old which is not good.

As an opener, the dude is minting ton after ton recently (Duleep Trophy and Iran Cup) and India are searching for a backup opener.

Ruturaj another opener kept failing but he was up in the pecking order. Now i guess Abhimanyu Easwaran will get called up for the back opener, maybe for BGT considering he gets in the India A against PM XI (Version of Australia A) and performs.
