3 Strong Reasons why India don’t need Ravindra Jadeja in ODIs anymore 

Ravindra Jadeja has been one of the best all-rounders in the world for the last decade or so. He has won India many matches on his own, but his performances in the white-ball format have always been pretty average. He has also retired from T20 internationals after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. However, the selection committee has dropped him from the ODIs as well.

On Thursday, the selectors announced the squads for ODIs and T20Is, and Ravindra Jadeja didn’t find a place in ODIs. Rather, India have picked Axar Patel and Washingston Sundar as the spin-bowling all-rounders. It could be an indication that India might be looking beyond the veteran all-rounder. Hence, we will talk about three reasons why India are looking to move on from Ravindra Jadeja in ODIs.

Three Reasons why India should move on from Ravindra Jadeja in 50-over format

1. Growing Age

Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja

Born on December 6, 1988, Ravindra Jadeja is currently 35 years and 225 days old. And he will be 36 years old by the coming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, and by the time the ODI World Cup 2027 comes, Jadeja will be 38 years old, and there are hardly any players who perform well in their late 30s. Hence, India should give proper game time to Axar Patel and Washington Sundar because they bring the same skillset as Ravindra Jadeja and are still young.

2. Average white-ball performances

Ravindra Jadeja is irreplaceable in the longest format. He is India’s first-choice spinner in a Test match at home or away. He has been India’s go-to player in Test cricket, but when it comes to white-ball cricket, his performances have declined in recent years. Especially his contribution with the bat. Jadeja’s number with the bat has been very poor, and he is not able to contribute as a genuine all-rounder.

3. Axar and Sundar doing well

India already have a like-to-like replacement for Ravindra Jadeja in Axar Patel, which we saw in the T20 World Cup 2024. Axar outperformed Jadeja with a bat and a ball. He has been in good form for India, and his batting contributions are pretty good as well. Then, Washington Sundar is another guy who is just 24 years old and can be a potential future prospect. So with the Champions Trophy 2025 and the ODI World Cup 2027 coming up, India should give these guys time to settle down.

IND vs SL: 3 Players who might not play a single game on Sri Lanka tour

IND vs SL: The squad for the ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka was announced on Thursday by the Indian Selection Committee. Rohit Sharma will be leading the ODI squad, while Suryakumar Yadav is the new T20I captain. Shubman Gill is the vice captain for both sides. Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant are back for the ODI series.

There were a few unlucky players who were dropped from the tour: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mukesh Kumar. Meanwhile, there were some new faces for the IND vs SL. Both squads have 15 players each, but not everyone will get a chance to play. Hence, we will talk about three players who might not get a single match on the coming IND vs SL tour.

3. Harshit Rana

The Delhi-born pacer Harshit Rana has received his maiden ODI call for India. He was part of the first two T20Is against Zimbabwe but didn’t play, and now he is selected for the IND vs SL ODI series. India already have Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, and then three spinners, and if Khaleel Ahmed is a backup pacer, we might not see Harshit playing a game in an ODI series. There are only three ODIs on the tour, and he might not get a game.

2. Khaleel Ahmed

The left-arm pacer made his comeback for India in the recently concluded Zimbabwe series. But he couldn’t deliver it with the ball. But despite that, India have picked him for both the ODI and T20 series. However, with the pitches in Sri Lanka being helpful for the spinners, India might go with the bowling attack of Arshdeep, Siraj, and Hardik in T20Is. That’s where it will be hard for Khaleel Ahmed to make it into the playing XI with only a limited matches to play.

1. Riyan Parag

The star all-rounder had a brilliant IPL 2024 with Rajasthan Royals, but he couldn’t do well in his debut series. He had a pretty average start to his international career, but despite that, India have retained him and also picked him for the IND vs SL ODIs. But it will be difficult for him to get a game as India already have a packed middle order. In ODIs, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant are there, while in T20Is, Suryakumar, Hardik, Rinku, and Dube are there. That’s where he might not get a game on this tour.

There is not much happening in ODI cricket these days apart from ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 2024/27 where the eight teams– Canada, Namibia, Netherlands, Scotland, Nepal, Oman, UAE, and USA are fighting for the top two spots to get a qualification ticket for the ICC ODI World CUP 2027.

IND vs SL: 5 player Selections and drops that have raised Controversies

IND vs SL: The BCCI has finally announced the long-awaited squad for India’s tour of Sri Lanka, and Gautam Gambhir is ready to go with his boys to conquer the Lankan islands.

The tour was already much anticipated and buzzing, as the T20Is have seen a major change due to the retirement of the senior pros and their replacement by possible young talents. Also, on Gambhir’s urge, senior players like skipper Rohit and veteran Virat have returned to the ODI format, and India will also have the services of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer for the first time since the Cricket World Cup 2023.

However, there have also been several decisions made by the BCCI and several questions raised over Ajit Agarkar and Gambhir’s decisions to drop a few of the most informed players and give extended chances to underperforming players.

Also, there has been a huge surge of controversy among the fans. The fans who once booed the MI skipper have now come in support of the all-rounder as he lost his T20I captaincy spot to Suryakumar Yadav. This decision was mostly made by the BCCI based on Gambhir’s advice for a fitter player to be made the skipper in the shortest format.

Top 5 controversial player selections:

Riyan Parag

India has included Riyan Parag, the Rajasthan Royals’ young talent, who performed superiorly in the IPL 2024. Parag has now been picked for both the T20I and ODI formats, which seemed quite unlikely.

Riyan Parag was handed over a key role in the team for the Zimbabwe tour; however, both times he came in to bat, he failed to give them a promising performance. However, his sudden extended opportunity, leaving several crucial players behind, is quite a controversial decision made by the new coach.

Avesh Khan in T20Is and Shivam Dube in ODIs

Khan has been one of the finest players in the IPL and domestic circles and was hence handed a chance on the Zimbabwe tour; however, there seems no reason that the speedster has been dropped on the very next white-ball tour.

Shivam Dube’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad was already a matter of debacle, and just like everyone predicted, the player had a horrible World Cup; however, despite all this, he has not only retained his spot in T20s but also replaced Pandya, who asked for some time off in the ODI format. Dube’s lack of form and, despite this, his turning into an all-format white ball cricketer for the Men in Blue seems like a bad decision.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Kuldeep Yadav

Jaiswal has set exceptional records, as the 22-year-old is India’s only batter to have featured in the top 10 rank holders among the ICC’s test and T20I batters. Jaiswal, after being such a dignified batter across the two formats, has once again not been included as an optional opener for the ODI format. Looking at Gill’s repetitive, weak performance in ODIs, this is unlikely to keep him as the only opener, and Gambhir’s decision seems very controversial.

The Kul-Cha era is gone; however, Kuldeep Yadav is now one of India’s finest spinners, often leading the way for their attack. Kuldeep, who played an inevitable role in the T20 World Cup, has now lost his spot in the T20I squad to Bishnoi, who is a good option, but still, dropping the World Cup campaigner is not a wise decision.

Abhishek Sharma

The SRH batter, who has recently been in the buzz and has been named as India’s next-best batting all-rounder in the making, has been dropped from T20Is in the very next series following his great run in the Zimbabwe tour.

Sharma was provided to open the match on two occasions, on which he scored his first T20I century and also picked up two wickets in the series. The fans find no reason why the rising talent has been dropped off the team, and with fans rather expecting him in ODIs as well, this is the worst decision made by Gambhir and co.

Ruturaj Gaikwad

The internet is taken by storm, as Indian fans seem to support their star player. Gaikwad is one of India’s most stellar performers, and he is also being considered as India’s future star, most likely to replace the great Virat Kohli. Gaikwad’s maturity and his flexibility to play in all positions seem to be great qualities to replace the veteran. Many have thought of him as India’s future leader as well.

However, in the very first outing under Gautam Gambhir, India suddenly got rid of the CSK skipper. Gaikwad was felt to be included across formats, but him losing his place even in the T20 squad seems to be one of the worst calls made by the selectors ahead of the Sri Lanka tour, and this controversy will stir up if India faces a void of their No. 3.

IND vs SL: The long-awaited squad for the Indian team for the much-anticipated Sri Lanka tour has been announced by the BCCI. Gautam Gambhir is all set to make his first international appearance as a coach for the Men in Blue.

The Indian veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to service for the Indian side on the urge of the new head coach. However, veteran pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for the tour.

With an insight into the BCCI’s announced squad, the most controversial decisions among all are the dropping of young Abhishek Sharma from the T20I squad and Ruturaj Gaikwad not being picked for the tour. Also, India misses the likes of ace pacer Avesh Khan, who was anticipated by all to be seen in for the Blues.

India tour of Sri Lanka (T20Is)

India is supposed to play a set of three T20Is at the Pallekele Stadium. India were crowned the T20 World Cup champions under skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid. Gambhir and co. will look to defend their title in 2026, and Suryakumar Yadav, who has been picked as Rohit’s successor for T20 captaincy, will look to get the confidence of his players to lead them to a great campaign ahead.

Full Squad for T20Is:

Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Ꮪhubman Gill (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Mohammed Siraj.

India has likely amazed all, as they have not picked the likes of Abhishek Sharma despite his brilliant performance on the Zimbabwe tour. Also, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was likely seen as Virat Kohli’s most suitable successor, has been dropped from the format. Gambhir has also not included his find, Kuldeep Yadav, who has led India in the spin department.

India tour of Sri Lanka (ODIs)

India will next play the three ODIs on August 2 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. India will be led by World Cup-winning skipper Rohit, who is back to the longer limited-overs format. The series will mark the return of veterans Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Pant in the format.

However, Pandya has taken some time off the ODI format amid his divorce, which he has finally announced over social platforms. Shubman Gill has been a surprise pick as the vice captain, likely hinting that the BCCI might see him as their most likely successor for Rohit Sharma after he retires from the format post-the Champions Trophy or likely the next CWC in 2027.

Though it was much expected that Gambhir would look to experiment with the opening pair in this format as well, the team shows no such signs as none other than Gill has been placed in the squad to open aside skipper Sharma. Gaikwad and Jaiswal have been denied a spot in the format as well, with some unforeseen picks like Dube and Parag being picked on the tour.

With every new coach and unit come new generations, and this might be Gambhir’s attempt to rejuvenate the Indian side as he looks ahead to the future generations of Indian cricket.

IND vs SL: The final team for the long-awaited series is yet to be announced; however, as per reports, the BCCI is all set to make the announcement on Thursday. What adds spice to this tour is that this will be Gautam Gambhir’s first assignment with the Men in Blue.

Previously, it was claimed that Indian veterans Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah were set to miss the ODI series for the Sri Lanka tour. However, the new coach had urged all the senior players to join him for his first major outing.

After first Rohit Sharma made himself available for the ODIs on the request of Gautam Gambhir, now the other veteran Virat Kohli has been reported to have informed the BCCI about his availability for the ODIs in the Sri Lanka tour, following the earnest desire of the arriving coach to feature the senior players, as India are set to play only a handful of six one-day matches before they enter the Champions Trophy in 2025.

However, amidst all the conundrums over whether the veterans will feature in the tour and who will land as T20I captain in the absence of the veterans, the squad announcement has been delayed over a period of time.

Now, let’s have a look at the player who might miss their chances to feature in ODIs for Sri Lanka with the comeback of Virat Kohli.

Players likely to miss Sri Lanka ODIs with Kohli’s return

Ruturaj Gaikwad

The CSK skipper has been a consistent performer in the domestic circle and has also been a star in the IPL. Now, with Virat’s absence in the shortest format, he is all set to fill in his shoes. Looking at the versatility of the rising batter, he could have featured across all three formats for India, and the Sri Lanka tour would have been the ideal way to kickstart his one-day career.

However, now that Kohli is back in the lineup, this fills the No. 3 spot, which reduces the chances for the young batter to get his ODI call for his first major tour with the Men in Blue.

Sanju Samson

The Rajasthan Royals skipper has now been with the Indian team for several years. He has been picked by coaches from time to time; however, Samson never made it to the squad in vital tournaments. Sanju could get his first major breakthrough in the Sri Lanka tour under new head coach Gambhir; however, with Kohli’s return, the middle order now seems too crowded for Sanju to feature.

Though he might find his spot lately in the T20Is, Samson is sure to miss his spot in the ODI games in the presence of senior batters Kohli, Rahul, and Pant.

Shreyas Iyer

Surprised! Don’t be, as Shreyas Iyer is used to surprises. The KKR skipper lost his BCCI annual contract after a dominating performance in the Cricket World Cup, and everyone seemed shocked by it.

However, under Gambhir, the batter is expected to make a comeback. Though Iyer’s return to the Indian team is still set to be made, his chances in the starting XI are more than reduced with the return of Kohli. With Pant’s return, Iyer’s No. 4 spot already looked threatened; only if Kohli missed the tour could he have made it into Gambhir’s starting XI.

With Virat Kohli’s probable return and Pant and Rahul both having chances of making a return to the Indian side, there are very slight chances of Shreyas Iyer sealing a spot in the longer limited-overs format games.

Exclusive: Virat Kohli confirms his availability for IND vs SL ODIs; Shreyas Iyer likely to make his comeback

IND vs SL: It is time for India to visit Sri Lanka for the ODIs and T20 series. Both sides will face off against each other in three games each in both series. It will start on July 27 with the first T20, while the ODI leg will start on August 2. Gautam Gambhir, who has replaced Rahul Dravid as head coach, will be on his first assignment for India. The head coach has been in the news for the last few days for different reasons.

After taking the job, Gambhir asked the senior players to play the ODIs. Notably, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah asked for the break for the IND vs SL ODI series. But it looks like Gambhir wants seniors to be available for his first assignment as head coach. Rohit confirmed his availability earlier, and now Virat Kohli has also made himself available.

Rohit, Virat, and Ravindra Jadeja announced their T20I retirements after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Both Rohit and Virat also asked for a break for the Sri Lanka tour. But after Gambhir requested the senior, these two are ready to feature for the IND vs SL ODIs.

According to Indian Express, Virat has also confirmed his availability for the coming tour. He is currently in London on vacation with family and will be back shortly. This will be a great sign for the future because India will now prepare for the coming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and won’t have many ODIs to play before that.

Adding to that, senior players also need time to adjust to Gambhir, and this can only be possible while playing on the tour. However, Jasprit Bumrah will be rested for the IND vs SL tour after back-to-back seasons of the IPL and T20 World Cup 2024. He will be in action for the coming Bangladesh Test series in September. 

Adding to that, Shreyas Iyer is likely to return for ODIs. India will have some key players returning for the team. The IND vs SL squad is likely to be announced on July 18 (Thursday). Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav is all set to get the T20I captaincy. We might see a few more surprises in ODI and T20I squads for the IND vs SL series.

Major Sources of BCCI’s Revenue

The primary source of BCCI’s massive revenue is the Indian Premier League (IPL). The popularity of IPL has been increasing year after year, significantly boosting BCCI’s income. Additionally, the introduction of the Women’s IPL has further augmented BCCI’s earnings.

Conclusion

With a net worth of around $2.25 billion, BCCI’s wealth is 28 times that of Cricket Australia. The IPL stands as the major revenue driver for BCCI, and its introduction of the Women’s IPL has further enhanced its financial stature. While other cricket boards like Cricket Australia and the England and Wales Cricket Board have substantial net worths, they lag significantly behind BCCI.

Dambulla Defeated Colombo Strikers but still eliminated

The league stage saw the domination of Galla Marvels and Jaffna Kings who lost just three out of 8 and won the other. The Colombo Strikers were good too in the middle but the real battle for qualification was between Kandy Falcons and Dambulla Sixers.

Dambulla Sixers, led by Mohammad Nabi, had a great chance for qualification if they could have managed to restrict the Colombo Strikers to 47 runs in the last match of the league stage. Dambulla posted 123 runs and they needed to win by 76 runs to run over the NRR of Kandy Falcons but a consolidatory 28-run win got them out of the tournament.
