#JayShah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is reportedly poised to become the new International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman, according to sources. The report highlights that Shah has garnered support from the cricket boards of England and Australia, giving him a strong chance to secure the position. If the news holds true, Shah would make history as the youngest person to hold the ICC chairman role and the fifth Indian to lead the organization, following in the footsteps of Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan, and Shashank Manohar. Notably, the current ICC Chairman, Greg Barclay, has confirmed he will not seek a third term.

ICC Champions Trophy- The first ICC event in Pakistan since 1996 ODI World Cup. The Pakistan Cricket Board is firmly committed to holding the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 entirely within Pakistan and has no plans to consider a hybrid format. Should India refuse to visit Pakistan for this event, what options will be presented? How close is Pakistan to fully leveraging an event teeming with cricket enthusiasm, widely acknowledged as a lucrative opportunity (India vs Pakistan) for sponsors and organizers? How long will the influence of politics persist in South Asian Cricket? The Pakistani cricket audience deserves the chance to witness this cricket clash on their home ground, rather than a clash between nations. Most recently, Pakistan has indeed been a safe host for New Zealand, Australia, England, Sri Lanka and for international cricketers playing for Pakistan Super League (PSL).

This T20 World Cup is a broadcaster’s nightmare First the timing. June and Same quarter as IPL. Advertisers have quarterly budgets and many big cricket advertisers already did IPL Second the time of matches. Half of the matches are at 6 AM which will have negligible viewership. Yes ICC events advertising is sold basis the India matches only, but still non India matches viewership will be even lower Third, the pitches. Unpredictable bounce, swing etc have made 100 a competitive score. Not the best pitches for T20 Disney paid a mind boggling 3 billion dollars for ICC TV and digital rights for 2024-2027. There is absolutely no way they can even get close to that number from ads and subscription revenue. Cricket( India home cricket, IPL, ICC) has always been a loss leader for broadcasters, but the increase in the rights prices in last 5-6 years have been insane. In my opinion, we will see a correction in this from the next cycle to make it more sustainable for broadcasters. Because unless it is win-win for all stakeholders ( advertisers, broadcasters and cricket boards), it will be difficult to sustain this in long run

Cricketers want victory superstars in vain Stop badmouthing the players and making memes for a few days, will this team perform well? (Photo: PCB) You must know Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, he has enthralled music fans across the world with his singing, surely years of hard work and discipline are behind it, now if I ask you what? If you know Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, then most of the answer will be yes, he has taken the responsibility of making singing without any license necessary. During the ILT Twenty20 in January, I was also asked by Indian journalists in Dubai, “Where did the Pakistanis bring this Chahat Fateh Ali?” Aqib Javed told me that he had played first-class cricket with him. His song “Badoo Badi” has gone viral on social media, 27 million i.e. crores of people have watched it on YouTube, when I heard Chahat Sahib’s PSL song for the first time, I laughed a lot, taking it as a joke. But then I thought that no one can sing so badly no matter how stupid he is in the world, people make fun of him. They think they are fools but the fact that they are deliberately making fools of everyone by singing like this, earning millions from concerts and social media income will be separate, all this means that none of us There is no quality, we make starless singers and don’t give lift to stars, patience is also very less in us, since social media came it has turned everything upside down, now it takes a minute and a village is in a village. Even a sitting person makes fun of a post of a respectable and great person, no one is going to ask him. The same is happening with the cricket team, the world cup has not started for us yet but on social media it seems that the God willing team has lost. If you don’t see it yourself, then others WhatsApp you to see if a meme has been made about you or what he said to you, this further reduces their confidence and affects their performance. I know of cricketers who couldn’t maintain integrity in the game due to social media and are now out of the team. It will be a bit difficult but if Chairman PCB asks the players not to use smartphones during the World Cup, keep those phones that can only be used for calls and SMS like in the past, then life will be easier for all of them. However, it doesn’t seem possible, but when you search by writing your name, the negative post will spoil the mood. The recent performance of the Pakistan cricket team is not good, there is no doubt about it. I don’t talk like that while the journey is going on, if the team wins it means everything is fine. This is the time to back the players, keep in mind that no substitutions can be made now, God willing, only if someone gets an injury, the ICC Technical Committee will review the case and allow the substitution, now this is the player. He is the axis of our hopes, Azam Khan has not gained weight today, he has always been like this, he was selected by the selection committee, you can ask him the reason, Wahab Riaz is seen walking in ...

Politics of a Business known as CRICKET in a country driven by emotions Cricket is a dying game globally with its ventilator support coming solely from the subcontinent (SC). WI has shifted to NBA. SA+Oz+NZ to Rugby, UK to Football, Ned to Hockey, etc. New venues have to be created to mine profits. Only India can play a leading role there, as no other SC team has the stardom to create commensurate impact. But only problem is, no other subcontinental team has revenue generation power like India. All are full of passion (BG), some have talent (AFG) but dry state coffers. Both ICC and BCCI understand the writing on wall and want to do as much cash-grab as possible before the curtains are drawn. BCCI has realised it's carrying dead-weight ICC on its shoulders for far too long now. 90% ICC revenue comes directly or indirectly coz of BCCI, so how to get rid of it? BCCI Can't boycott ICC. But can it Replace the ICC? Enters IPL. Players Start Making in One IPL week what they Ordinarily Make in a Year Playing ICC Matches. But How to Make People Move Away from ICC? The Same Way Congress Made people move away from Pakistan-sponsored Bomb blasts. Diversion. Lose at ICC events, and Create Mass Hysteria around Local Superstars in IPL leagues. Plan Worked. BCCI beat ICC at its own game and controls major shares in all channels of earnings such as: 1. Sponsorship (10% of revenue distributed among employees). 2. Advertisement (10% or revenue shared with athlete's PR teams), 3. Offline Viewership (5% of revenue shared with stadium management). 4. Online Viewership (5% if revenue shared with athletes) 5. Global Betting Money (70% of off-trail revenue generated and rerouted via different funnel accounts globally to specific sensitive regions, to serve various "interests"). For all purposes, Cricket Today is operating like a parallel Stock Market. Every Person Betting Hopes and Prays for some 'Miracles' that will convert their investment of 10 into 100, whereas the Miracle Makers sit at the top, pushing buttons and pulling strings to weigh chances vs. predications and keep mining wealth equal to GDPs of small nations. SC striking off electoral bonds is a boon in disguise. Far reaching effects will be realised by the time Haryana polls. That's why JAY SHAH in game That explain 2023 World Cup 🥤 ये देश चुनौतियों से नहीं चूतियों से परेशान है credits @ pradhan gaurav

AT PMLA: REDUCES EXCESSIVE PENALTIES IN FEMA MATTER INVOLVING CRICKET BETTING AT PMLA, in an appeal against the Adjudication Order passed by the Special Director in FEMA matter, substitutes the penalty of Rs. 26 lakh imposed on an individual (Appellant) by Rs. 10 lakh, also reduces the penalty of Rs. 98 lakh, to Rs. 50 lakh, considering the penalty amount being in excess compared to the contravention of the amount involved; Notes that a search was conducted by ED upon receiving specific information about the involvement of the Appellant in receiving and accepting bets on scores and outcome of cricket matches and other sporting events on behalf of their clients and bookies based locally, nationally and internationally; Highlighting that the Special Director has not recorded finding solely based on the statements of Appellant and a co-accused, but also based on the documents recovered from the premises, as also summons were sent to the author of the documents seized by the ED to seek his presence but despite ED’s repeated efforts, he did not appear, AT PMLA opines that, “Thus, it is not a case where the respondents failed to produce the relevant witness deliberately rather they made all the efforts for his production..”; Stating that the statements of the co-accused and the Appellant were recorded without any torture, threat or harassment otherwise the Appellant would have retracted from his statement immediately but there is nothing on record to show retraction without delay, AT PMLA asserts that delayed retraction cannot be accepted unless justified by the reasons which do not exist in this case, and the Department, thus, remains successful to show that the statements were recorded without inducement, pressure or by giving threat; Further, emphasizing that the case in hand is not such where the Respondent could not prove the case by adducing the evidence otherwise if this Appellate Tribunal enter into other facts and the evidence, it would be sufficient to show that substantial evidence was led by the Respondent to prove the case, AT PMLA concludes that, “The appellant has already deposited Rs. 50 lakhs towards the pre-deposit pursuant to the order of Bombay High Court though the Tribunal passed an order to deposit 60% of the amount to satisfy the condition of pre-deposit. In any case, to make the penalty amount proportionate to the contravention, we reduce it…”:PMLA Appellate Tribunal The order was passed by Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari (Chairman) and Mr. Balesh Kumar (Member).

👉 The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially canceled the proposed tour for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, following significant backlash and concerns regarding the political implications of hosting the event in the disputed region. The decision was made public on November 15, 2024, after various cricketing nations expressed their reservations about participating in an event that could exacerbate tensions between India and Pakistan. 👉 The ICC's decision comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in South Asia, particularly concerning the status of Kashmir. Hosting the Champions Trophy in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir was seen as a provocative move by many stakeholders, including cricket boards from India and other countries. Critics argued that such a decision would undermine the spirit of sportsmanship and could lead to diplomatic repercussions. As a result, the ICC opted to relocate the tournament to ensure a neutral and peaceful environment for all participating teams. Implications for Future Cricket Events 👉 This cancellation highlights the delicate balance sports organizations must maintain when navigating political sensitivities. The ICC's commitment to ensuring that cricket remains a unifying force rather than a source of division is crucial for maintaining its global reputation. Moving forward, it will be essential for governing bodies to engage in thorough discussions with member nations to avoid similar controversies in future tournaments. How can international sporting bodies better navigate political sensitivities while promoting global events?  What measures should be taken to ensure that sports remain a platform for unity rather than division? #News #Cricket #ICCCricket #ChampionsTrophy #SportsDiplomacy

November 10, 1991, is a date that will forever be etched in the South African cricket history. It marks the day the Proteas, as the team is famously known, returned to the international cricket scene after a 21-year ban. The ban was imposed by the International Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council, or ICC) due to South Africa’s policy of apartheid, which excluded non-white players from its teams. The world learned a painful new term—apartheid—a policy of discrimination on the grounds of race. For some, 21 years might seem like a long time, but understanding the incidents that led to that ban and the decades of resistance is crucial to grasp the full weight of the moment. The story of South Africa’s cricket ban begins in the 1960s, when apartheid was deeply entrenched under the regime of Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, the anti-apartheid movement was gaining traction globally, and countries, particularly those in Africa, began pushing for South Africa’s exclusion from international competitions. The pressure mounted, and in 1970, ICC suspended SA from international cricket for the first time. A quick look at the series of events: 1960s-1970s: Growing international condemnation of apartheid, leading to calls for sports boycotts. *1970: ICC suspends South Africa from international cricket due to apartheid. *1980s: The global sports boycott against South Africa intensifies. Rebel tours by South African cricketers are condemned. *1989-1990: The end of apartheid begins with Nelson Mandela’s release and negotiations *1991: The ICC lifts the ban after the political transition, and South Africa returns to international cricket. SA's return to international cricket in 1991 wasn’t just a moment of political significance—it was a sporting rebirth. Unlike many other nations making their debut, the Proteas weren’t minnows; they were poised to make an impact. The team boasted some of the finest players the game had ever seen. Allan Donald, with his fiery pace, was at the forefront of the attack. The batting lineup featured legends like Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith, and AB de Villiers, while the bowling attack was led by Shaun Pollock and a new generation of fast bowlers like Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn. South Africa quickly became one of the most dominant forces in world cricket. But not every story from this era was one of glory. While players like Kallis, Smith, and de Villiers rose to superstardom, the team also faced controversies. One of the most painful chapters in SA cricket was the rise and fall of Hansie Cronje. Cronje was at the center of a match-fixing scandal that shook the cricketing world to its core. His downfall was a devastating blow and a reminder of how the pressures of fame and success can sometimes lead players astray. Since then the famous friendships between Virat- ABD, Virat- Faf have been just heart warming. What Sport taketh, Sport giveth. #SportHealsAndUnites
