Australia vs India 4th Test: BCCI in talks with Cricket Australia for quarantine relaxation for the Brisbane Test.



Australia vs India: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in talks with Cricket Australia for quarantine relaxation for the fourth test. BCCI as reported on Thursday wrote to CA for some ease in the strict quarantine protocols for the Brisbane Test, as the players have undergone strict isolation before the series.



As per the reports, BCCI has written to the Cricket Australia head Earl Eddings on Thursday. BCCI top executives pointed out the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by both the boards before the start of the tour. There were no specifications in the MoU about the two strict quarantine in the two cities.



The fourth and last test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy will begin from 15th January and according to strict protocols, the player will have to be inside the hotel room after the play of the day.



?The discussions are still on but today BCCI has formally sent a letter seeking relaxation of hard quarantine for its players if they are to have the match in Brisbane,? a senior BCCI official told PTI.



?Both the boards had earlier signed the Memorandum of Understanding and it never specified any such modalities about the strict protocols. We have already done one strict quarantine in Sydney (practice and then back to the hotel room),? he added.



<h2>What Indian player's want from Cricket Australia?</h2>



BCCI also mentioned what they and their players needed with Cricket Australia. What are the grievances BCCI wants CA to improve?



?The demands from our side are simple and do not need any such complications. The players want to be together inside the hotel room just like we did in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Everyone wants to have their meals together and want to have a team meeting together. That?s pretty simple, that?s not a big demand,? BCCI official informed.



As per the rules of Cricket Australia, players can meet each other outside their rooms but only those are allowed who are residing on the same floor. Players from two different floors are restricted to mingle, which seems ridiculous to many players.



?The Indian board has asked CA to give the relaxation permission in writing. During India?s quarantine in Sydney, there were some cops who used to keep an eye if there is a breach in the bio-secure bubble protocols.?

Real Madrid vs Manchester City : Probable XI & Injured Stars Who WON’T Play Tonight

Riyan Parag Statement : Few months back, Riyan Parag’s search history went viral on social media, where some explicit searches related to Bollywood actresses Ananya Panday and Sara Ali Khan were revealed.
After staying silent for a long time, Riyan has finally come forward and given an official statement regarding the controversy. In today’s article, we will tell you everything about what he said in his clarification.
<h2 dir="ltr">Riyan Parag Youtube Search History</h2>
Riyan Parag is an Indian cricketer, well known in the T20 format. His performances are often so impressive that he frequently goes viral on social media. A while back, another piece of news about him had gone very viral which was his YouTube search history, showing that he had searched for "hot photos of Ananya Panday" and "hot photos of Sara Ali Khan."
<h2 dir="ltr">Riyan Parag Statement Over The Viral Video</h2>
During an interview with City 1016 Radio, Riyan was asked about this controversy. However, he did not give a direct answer. He explained that he had opened YouTube for something else, and his search history got exposed accidentally. 
He shared that after finishing an IPL match in Chennai, he immediately joined a Discord call with his streaming team. He was about to listen to a song but didn’t have Spotify or Apple Music, as he had deleted them.
So, he opened YouTube to search for music. That’s when he realized his search history had been leaked. At that moment, he didn’t fully understand what had happened, but after the stream ended, he was shocked, thinking about what he had done.
When asked why the Riyan Parag Statement did not come at that time, he said that he didn’t consider it a big deal. He felt there was no point in giving a public clarification because people would still not understand. He believed that ignoring the controversy was the best option. 
If he had responded back then, it would have only made the situation worse, and people would have judged him even more. That’s why he chose to stay silent and let the matter fade away on its own.

The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and England was played on 9 February (Sunday) at Barabaati Stadium of Cuttack and in this game, the Indian Team secured an easy win by a margin of four wickets and took an unassailable lead of 2-0. Skipper Rohit Sharma played a fiery knock of 119 runs in 90 deliveries, which consisted of 12 fours and seven sixes. 
<h2>KL Rahul's below par performance with the bat continues</h2>
The return of Rohit Sharma to his explosive form was a good news for the Indian fans but wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul delivered yet another disappointing performance with the bat in this match as well. He returned to dugout after scoring just 10 runs and even in the previous match of the series, the 31-year-old managed to score just two runs. 
In both games, the former LSG skipper had a chance to apply the finishing touches but, he returned to the pavilion and failed to help the Men in Blue get over the line. 
Even in last year's Sri Lanka tour, Rahul wasn't able to do anything special with the bat, managing to score just 31 runs in two innings. Rishabh Pant replaced him in the side in the 3rd ODI. If we take a close look at his stats, then we get to know that Rahul has amassed just 43 runs in the last four One-Day International games at a miserable average of 10.75, which goes on to reflect his struggles in the format. 
Rahul's glove work was also poor in the Cuttack ODI as his mistake led to Joe Root getting a lifeline. On his advice, skipper Rohit Sharma decided not to take the DRS review versus Root but the replays later showed that the ball was hitting the stumps.
After watching the replays, skipper Rohit regretted the decision of not taking the DRS and was very pissed off with KL Rahul. A wicketkeeper's advice is very important in taking a call of DRS reviews for LBW. 
<h2>Will Pant get a chance to play in the 3rd ODI? </h2>
The question which arises here is, will the Indian team management carry on with KL Rahul as the main wicketkeeper in the 3rd &amp; Final ODI of the series in Ahmedabad? Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is a part of the squad as well and the 27-year-old is a better wicketkeeper than KL Rahul and also has a lot of experience of keeping the wickets on bouncy &amp; spinning tracks. 
The newly appointed LSG skipper has participated in 31 One-Day International matches for the Men in Blue, where he has managed to score 871 runs at a decent average of 33.50. He has also slammed five fifties and a century in the format. 
KL Rahul, on the other hand, has amassed 2,863 runs in 79 ODI games at an average of 47.71 with the help of seven hundreds and 18 fifties. While the statistics of the latter are better than the former, constant failures of the latter with the bat is increasing the tension of the Indian team management ahead of Champions Trophy 2025.The team management would definitely want to give an attacking batsman like Pant a chance to prove himself before the commencement of the Champions Trophy.

KL Rahul has not been in good form with the bat since the conclusion of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup and the Indian Team Management might just run out of patience with the 31-year-old if he doesn't perform on a consistent basis

IND vs ENG: KL Rahul's below par performance with the bat might force the Indian Team Management to go ahead with Rishabh Pant as the wicketkeeper batter in the 3rd ODI versus England in Ahmedabad.

Australian Women's National Cricket Team's experienced opening batter Beth Mooney has successfully won the ICC Women's Player of the Month award for January of 2025 thanks to her impressive performances during the Women's Ashesh 2025 series versus England
The left-handed batter saw off the competition from the duo of West Indian spinner Karishma Ramharack and Indian Cricket Team's U-19 star Trisha Gongdi to win the prestigious monthly accolade. 
This is also the first time in her career that Mooney has won the player of the month award and the second consecutive monthly award for an Aussie star after in-form all-round Annabel Sutherland won the award in December of 2024.
<blockquote>
"The Women's Aussie team has had incredible month of January, winning the Ashes in front of our home crowd was very special and culminating the series by taking part in the first ever Day &amp; Night Women's Test Match at the MCG in front of a large crowd is an unforgettable moment for the whole team. This team continues to perform well and deliver amazing results and I am very happy &amp; proud to be a part of such an amazing group," Mooney said.
</blockquote>
The opener started off the ODI series slowly but she bounced back in awesome fashion with a brilliant fifty in the third One-Day International in Hobart. After the Kangaroos lost four wickets for a mere score or 59 runs, the 31-year-old played an incredible knock of 50 runs in 64 deliveries to give the Heather Knight-led team a tough fight and set the stage for the hosts to post a score of 308 runs in 50 overs and secure the victory in the contest. 
In the T20 International series, Mooney carried on with her good form, scoring 213 runs at an amazing strike rate or 146.89 and cemented her position as the top-ranked batter. She scored 75 runs in 44 balls before going on to smash an unbeaten 94 runs off 63 deliveries in Adelaide, her highest score in the shortest format of the game in five years, to guide the Kangaroos to a dominant series victory versus their Fierce-Rivals.
She also won the Player-of-the-Match accolade for her incredible performances in both the first &amp; the last T20 International games of the series and she also ended the series as the highest run getter.
