<p><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=England" rel="nofollow">England</a> has also announced their squads for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=New+Zealand" rel="nofollow">New Zealand</a>. After getting retired from the ODI Cricket last year, Ben Stokes made a comeback. Harry Brook was not included in the ODI squad, whereas uncapped fast bowler Gus Atkinson was named in ODI and T20I squads.</p>



<p>The T20I squad also includes two other uncapped fast bowlers, Josh Tongue and Josh Turner. England will play the four T20Is from August 30 to September 5, and then they will play the important ODI series against New Zealand from September 8 to September 15.</p>



<p>The ODI and T20I squad includes a mix of experienced and young players, like Jos Buttler, Joe Root, and Moeen Ali, who has been part of England's successful teams in recent years. The youngsters like Liam Livingstone and Gus Atkinson are a sign that England are looking to build a new squad for the upcoming series and Tournaments.</p>

<p>England are one of the favorites to win the World Cup 2023. They have a strong squad and potential to defeat any opponent in the World Cup and will also be tough to beat.</p>



<p>The batting lineup is strong, as Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, and Dawid Malan all are capable of scoring big runs. Livingstone is a young player who has impressed in recent years, and he will be looking to make an impact in the World Cup by playing aggressive cricket.</p>



<p>The bowling attack is also strong, with Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, and David Willey all being experienced bowlers who can take wickets in different conditions. Reece Topley and Gus Atkinson are young bowlers, but they have the potential to take pick wickets in difficult situations.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="major-sources-of-bcc-is-revenue">Major Sources of BCCI's Revenue</h3>



<p>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.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3>



<p>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.</p>

10 Richest Cricket Boards in the World 2024: BCCI Tops the List by a Mile

10-richest-cricket-boards-in-the-world-2024-bcci-tops-the-list-by-a-mile

<p>Bangladesh Cricket Team's legendary spin bowling All-rounder Shakin Al Hasan has put himself in big trouble. The veteran will no longer be able to roll his arm over in any formats of Cricket. His bowling has been banned. The England Cricket Board (ECB) had earlier declared Shakib's bowling-action as illegal. </p>
<p>Following this, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) started investigation regarding his bowling-action and after looking at all the possibilities, they found him to be guilty of using an illegal Bowling-action and they have therefore decided to ban him from bowling in all formats of the game. </p>
<p>The 37-year-old was playing County Cricket for Surrey in England. He took part in his only match for Surrey versus the team of Somerset. He scored 12 runs with the bat in the first inning of that contest and got dismissed for a duck in the 2nd inning. With the ball though, things were different as Hasan bowled in a lethal manner, taking the wickets of nine batters across both the innings. </p>
<h2><strong>What's the reason behind the decision of banning Shakib from bowling in all formats of the sport</strong>? </h2>
<p>The Bangladeshi Spin Bowling All-rounder was banned by the Cricket governing body of England, the England Cricket Board (ECB) for having an illegal bowling-action. Actually, his action exceeded the 15-degrees limit permitted by the ECB. The wrist cannot be rotated by more than 15 degrees.</p>
<h2><strong>Shakib performed well with the ball for Surrey in County Cricket</strong></h2>
<p>The spin bowling All-rounder performed well with the ball for the country team of Surrey. In the match versus Somerset, the 37-year-old bowled a total of 33.5 overs in the first inning and took four wickets by giving away 97 runs. In the 2nd inning, Shakib brought his A game forward as went on to register a five-wicket-haul and gave away 96 runs in the process. </p>
<h2><strong>Hasan's career has been like this</strong></h2>
<p>Shakib Al Hasan's International career has been great so far. He has scored a total of 4,609 runs with the bat in 71 Test-Matches with the help of five centuries and 31 fifties. With the ball, he has dismissed batters 246 times and he has best bowling figures of 7-36 next to his name. </p>
<p>In terms of One Day International Cricket, the 37-year-old has taken part in 247 50 over matches and he has managed to amass 7,570 runs with the bat and has also managed to dismiss batters 317 times.</p>

Bangladeshi spin bowling All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has put himself in trouble once again. He has been banned by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) due to being adjudged guilty of having an illegal bowling-action.

Bangladesh's elite spinner Shakib Al Hasan banned from bowling in all formats of Cricket by the BCB

<p>Bangladesh's elite all-rounder and former skipper Shakib Al Hasan' bowling suspension in all forms of Cricket which was given to him by the England &amp; Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is set to carry on as he failed an independent re-assessment of his bowling action, the Bangladeshi Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Saturday, 11th of January. </p>
<p>The independent re-assessment test of the 37-year-old was conducted in Chennai'a Sri Ramachandra Centre for Sports Science in the previous month. </p>
<p><strong>"Although he is currently prohibited from bowling, Shakib Al Hasan is unquestionably allowed to play all in all the formats of the game as a pure batsman." the BCB stated in their recently released statement"</strong></p>
<p>The Bangladeshi Men's National Team selectors are free to select the 37-year-old as a pure batsman for the upcoming Champions Trophy in Pakistan and UAE, which will be commencing from the 19th of February in the city of Karachi. It's worth noting that the Bangladeshi Tigers will be kicking off their Champions Trophy campaign versus the Indian Team on the 20th of February in Dubai</p>
<p>Shakib was handed a bowling suspension in December of 2024 after the initial independent-assessment results showed that the 37-year-old exceeded the maximum allowed elbow-extension of 15 degrees. </p>
<p>He was representing the team of Surrey in the Country Cricket Championship of England and the umpires in that particular game scrutinized his bowling action. His one-off appearance for the team of Surrey was also his first in Country Cricket since the 2010-2011 season of the tournament. </p>
<p>Previously in 2019 Shakib was handed a 2-yeat ban from playing Cricket after the ICC discovered that he had breached their anti-corruption policies.</p>

<p>England's Bilateral tour of India is set to commence with the five-match T20 International series which is slated to start from the 22nd of January onwards. The Three Lions have also unveiled their squad for this upcoming tour of India and now they are preparing to travel to India but before this, one player of England's team is facing certain issues. </p>
<p>It has been learned that he has not received his Indian visa yet, due to which the picture regarding him travelling with the English team to India is not clear yet. We are talking about Saqib Mahmoud, a fantastic fast bowler of the Three Lions. </p>
<h2><strong>England have set up their training camp in Abu Dhabi</strong></h2>
<p>Whenever the 2019 World Cup winners travel to India for a bilateral series assignment, they first set up a training camp in Abu Dhabi. This time around too, the situation is the same. A news report of ESPNCricinfo has revealed that Saqib may not be a part of the Abu Dhabi training camp till his visa issues get sorted out. </p>
<p>The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are hopeful that the 27-year-old speedster receives his visa before the commencement of the T20 International series on the 22nd of January.</p>
<h2><strong>Due to his Pakistani origin, the visa approval is getting delayed</strong></h2>
<p>It's believes that the main reason behind the delay in the visa approval of 27-year-old Saqib Mahmood is his Pakistani origin. In the past too, English players who have a Pakistani origin have encountered such issues. Last year, when the Three Lions came to India for the Test-Series, spinner Shoaib Bashir also faced issues related to his Indian visa. </p>
<p>Due to this, he missed the opening Test-Match in Hyderabad but after sorting out the problems, he played in the remaining matches of the series. </p>
<h2><strong>The case of Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid is clear</strong></h2>
<p>Although the ECB has not commented on this entire matter, the board still hopes that Saqib will land on Indian soil before the start of the first T20I between the Suryakumar Yadav-led team and England. The squad announced by the ECB consists of two more players who have Pakistani origin and they are, Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid. </p>
<p>Adil Rashid has played a lot of matches on Indian soil so his visa was never an issue while Rehan also played the Test-Series in India last year so his case is pretty clear too.</p>
<h2><strong>This is how Saqib's International career has been so far</strong></h2>
<p>27-year-old Saqib Mahmood is not only included in the T20I series team, he has also been given a chance in the ODI team. He will also go to Pakistan and play the Champions Trophy matches for England . If we talk about his career so far, Saqib has played 18 T20 International matches for England and has dismissed 18 batters in this format so far. At the same time, he also has 14 scalps next to his name by featuring in nine One-Day International contests.</p>

<p>English batter James Vince has expressed his displeasure over the No-Objection-Certificate (NOC) of the England Cricket Board (ECB). He believes that the ECB is giving preference to the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in it's NOC policy. </p>
<p>Recently, the 33-year-old batter thought that it will be better to leave Domestic Cricket in order to play in the PSL, but now he said that the NOC policy of the ECB is not right. He also went on to make a massive statement that how PSL is better than the IPL.</p>
<h2>'<strong>Giving preference to Pakistan Super League (PSL)is a better decision...'</strong></h2>
<p>In a conversation with ESPNCricinfo, James Vince said that apart from me, many other players have failed to understand the NOC policy of the England and Wales Cricket Board. We weren't able to understand why the IPL is getting preference over the Pakistan Super League in the policy of the England Cricket Board? He said that the entire matter is decided by the relationship of the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board with the England Cricket Board, but I believe that giving preference to the Pakistan Super League over the IPL would have been a better decision, but it is not so.</p>
<h3><strong>In what way is the PSL better than the IPL? </strong></h3>
<p>The experienced English batter believes that the PSL is better because it last for less days in comparison to the cash-rich Indian T20 league. In such a situation, if the English players play in the Pakistani Super League, then their chances of missing International Cricket will be less too. </p>
<p>Let us tell you that recently the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) released it's new NOC policy and in accordance to that policy, if the Three Lions are scheduled to play any international game, then an English player won't be allowed to participate in any t20 league, but if the IPL is taking place, then they can definitely continue to take part in the Indian T20 league.</p>

<p><strong>Jos Buttler:</strong> England had a miserable outing in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 as they failed to qualify for the knockout rounds of the tournament and also failed to win a single match in the marquee ICC event of this year. Amid the team's horrible performance in the eight-team tournament, Jos Buttler made the big decision to step down from captaincy duties. </p>
<p>He stepped down as the captain following his team's defeat versus South Africa in the final Group-B match of the Champions Trophy. The 34-year-old made this announcement after England's poor performance in the Champions Trophy and being eliminated from the tournament. </p>
<p>Now, the question that arises is, who will replace the wicketkeeper batsman as the captain of the Three Lions in white ball cricket? Let's take a look at five players who are considered as strong contenders to replace Buttler. </p>
<h2><strong>5 players who can replace Jos Buttler as the captain of England in white ball formats</strong></h2>
<h4><strong>Sam Curran</strong></h4>
<p>Fast bowling all-rounder Sam Curran can prove to be a tempting option to take over the captaincy duties of England in white ball Cricket from Buttler. He has captaincy experience with the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well as Surrey in Domestic Cricket. He played an important role in helping England lift the T20 World Cup Trophy in 2022 and with him being just 26 years old, he can prove to be a long term option for the 2019 World Cup winners. </p>
<p>While he hasn't featured much in ODI Cricket in recent times, the kind of skills he possesses both as a batter &amp; bowler are very impressive and it will be very hard for the England team management to not consider him for the leadership role. </p>
<h4><strong>Harry Brook</strong></h4>
<p>The strongest contender to replace Jos Buttler as England's white ball captain is Harry Brook. He impressed as the stand in skipper in the five-match One Day International series against Ashes Rivals Australia in September of 2024 and while the Three Lions lost the series 3-2, Brook was the leading run scorer in the series and he also impressed a lot of Cricket experts with his leadership skills. </p>
<p>However, he wasn't able to do much with the bat in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 in Pakistan, and the English Team management might not want to take the risk of letting Brook's form with the bat suffer alongside the captaincy duties.</p>
<p><strong>Liam Livingstone</strong></p>
<p>Explosive batter Liam Livingstone was out of the team before the Australian tour, but he shone after getting a second opportunity and even captained the side in the West Indies tour. He performed well amid the persistent calf problems of Jos Buttler and in the Antigua ODI, he played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 124 runs. </p>
<p>He's a really experienced player who has been in the England set up for a really long time and is a good option for the captaincy role. However, his form with the bat has been poor in the last 10 innings as he has had 8 innings where he has scored less than 15. </p>
<h3><strong>Phil Salt</strong><strong></strong></h3>
<p>The most like-for-like replacement for Jos Buttler as the captain would be his teammate Phil Salt. The explosive wicketkeeper batter has been given the preference over the 34-year-old of handling the wicketkeeping duties and his ability to control the game from behind the stumps is nothing short of brilliant. </p>
<p>Salt was chosen to lead the T20i side during last year's white-ball series against Australia, and he helped his team draw the series. When he led the Three in September, he said, 'Really enjoyed my first experience as a captain. ' He could mesh well with head coach Brendon McCullum and will be available for every assignment, as he is not in the Test set-up. However, his place in the team is being debated after he scored just one half-century in his last 10 white-ball matches.</p>
<h4><strong>Ben Stokes</strong></h4>
<p>Star All-Rounder Ben Stokes is the current captain of the England Cricket Team in the longest format of the game. He was ruled out of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 after suffering a hamstring injury. His career so far has proven to be an injury-affected one, but his leadership prowess certainly makes him a potential option to become the all-format skipper of the team. </p>
<p>Moreover, his partnership with Brendon McCullum led to the creation of the Bazball, which has proven to be a hit for the Three Lions in Test Cricket. With Baz also coaching the white-ball team, Stokes can certainly thrive as the full-time captain of the Three Lions.</p>
