BCCI secretary Jay Shah takes over as the president of ACC.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has been elected as the president of the Asian Cricket Council(ACC). The decision was taken at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of ACC and Jay Shah was unanimously elected as the president.



Shah will take over the reins from Nazmul Hassan, President, Bangladesh Cricket Board. He will be the youngest person to be appointed as the president of ACC.



In his speech addressing the AGM, Shah said: ?The ACC will continue its good work throughout in my tenure. ACC has given healthy competition to some of the biggest cricket playing countries and also looked after the smaller pockets. We must ensure the all-round development of cricket in the region and keep the cause rolling.?



?The unwanted and unpredictable pandemic has thrown many challenges but it is always seen that the innovation arises in adverse situations and we must make sure that we are getting advanced day in and day out. It can be seen that most of the cricket boards have started its cricketing operations with the senior men?s team, however, the challenges are with women?s games and age-group games. The ACC has done a tremendous job in regulating women?s as well as age-group games and we must bind to it,? Jay Shah said.



<h2>Sourav Ganguly also congratulated Jay Shah:</h2>



BCCI president Sourav Ganguly congratulated his fellow and said, ?I am delighted to congratulate Jay Shah on being appointed as the new president of ACC. We both have worked together and closely, and I am well are of his plans and visions to develop the game. His zeal to develop cricketing infrastructure in Chandigarh, Uttarakhand and other North-Eastern states of India shows his sheer vision and plans. It is definitely a challenging phase for all of us, but I am sure that he will successfully navigate through it. The BCCI will extend their support to build a better ecosystem for cricket in Asia.?



Treasurer Dhumal also lauded Shah?s election to the top post of the continental body.



?Being the youngest president of ACC shows his passion and vision towards cricket. Jay Shah is a strong leader and will definitely take the cricketing operations one step ahead in Asia.?



The AGM was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vivo IPL 2021: Jay Shah explains the exact reason why Vivo IPL 2021 is shifted to UAE.



Vivo IPL 2021: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah clears the exact reason why Phase 2, as they say, of the Vivo Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 is shifted to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Putting forth the exact ground, Shah said that the decision is taken keeping in mind the monsoon in India during September-October.



Earlier, on May 4 after a string of covid positive cases inside the camps of participating teams of IPL, BCCI came to a decision to indefinitely postpone the Indian T20 tournament. The overseas recruits of the IPL faced a lot of difficulties in heading back to their homes, especially the Australians after the BCCI halted the IPL.



The Australian government banned all the connecting flights from India for over a week following which players were airlifted to Maldives.



Jay Shah, who holds a high authority position in the BCCI, was clear about his concerns and stated, ?it doesn?t make any sense to host the IPL in India because of the weather conditions.?



The decision of shifting IPL was taken in the Special General Meeting (SGM) of the BCCI on May 29th. All the members and office bearers were on the same page to reschedule the remaining 31 games in the UAE and minimize the losses as much as possible.

As per the data revealed by the BCCI soon after the suspension of IPL 2021, the Indian board is vulnerable to incur losses of around 2,500 Crores if the remaining games are not completed.



<h2>Vivo IPL 2021 shifted to UAE due to Monsoon: Jay Shah</h2>



?See we took this decision to conduct IPL in the UAE because it will be monsoon here and it will not be feasible to hold matches here in September and that is why we are taking IPL to the UAE,? Shah was quoted as saying in Hindustan Times.



?We are moving IPL to the UAE only due to weather restrictions as we cannot hold IPL here at the time of monsoon. How can we hold IPL in September in Mumbai or Ahmedabad or any other venues at the time of monsoon? It doesn?t make any sense,? he stated.



Shah further said that the board is seeking some extra time to make a decision on the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.



?And as far as the T20 World Cup is concerned, we will seek time from ICC and decide later. As of now, we are in the mind frame of holding tournaments in the safe zone and we will see how the situation is in the upcoming days. The only thing I can say for now is to seek time from ICC and decide accordingly,? Shah added.

ICC World Test Championship: ECB reluctant to allow Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah to attend the ICC WTC Final.



ICC World Test Championship: The excitement for the ICC World Test Championship is at its peak amongst the fans, officials and experts. Everyone has started to pick their favourites to win the clash and be crowned as the World Test Champions. The excitement for the Indian fans doubled when the news rolled out that BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah will be attending the game in Southampton.



However, the news which just came has something different to say. As per the reports Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah won't attend the game.



Both Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah have pulled back and will not be present inside the stadium due to strict quarantine norms of ECB.



?As far as I know, the ECB didn?t grant permission to them (Ganguly and Shah). Normally, administrators go before the Test match but as per quarantine rules, since they are not playing members, they would have had to undergo a hard quarantine of 10 days,? an ECB official said.



?The team rules wouldn?t have been applicable as far as president and secretary is concerned,? the official added.

The BCCI earlier permitted the families of cricketers to accompany them for a long three months tour to England. The step is taken to keep players in a good frame of mind as they will be in bio-bubble for three months.



All the players will board a flight to the UK on June 2 after completing their two weeks mandatory quarantine in Mumbai.



?Yes, it?s good news that players will have their families during the tour of the UK. Ditto for the women?s team who can also have their families around. These are times when the mental well-being of players is paramount.



?The BCCI understands that we need our players and support staff to be in a good head space,? the source told PTI.



India and New Zealand will have the summit clash, starting June 18 in Rose Bowl Southampton. THe winner of the clash will be crowned as the Test Champions for the inaugural tournament.

BCCI to donate 10 Crores to support Indian athletes in the Tokyo Olympics.



BCCI secretary Jay Shah post the Apex Council Meet on 20th June revealed that the Indian cricket board will help and donate INR 10 Crores to support the Indian athletes in the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.



The 2021 Tokyo Olympics are slated to begin from 23rd July to 8th August.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) held a virtual Apex Council Meeting on Sunday and the decision to provide financial assistance was taken along with a couple of other key decisions.?



Jay Shah further revealed that the board had earlier received a request from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) seeking their help.



?The Summer Olympics is scheduled to be held in Tokyo from 23 July to 8th August 2021. The BCCI has decided to support Indian athletes in every form and manner it can. In that spirit, based on the request received from the IOA/MYAS, the Apex Council of BCCI has decided to extend support to the Indian Olympic Association and has pledged a monetary gesture of Rs. 10 crores,? Shah said in its statement.



<h2>BCCI to compensate the domestic Cricketers:</h2>



The Apex Council has also decided to form a separate committee to take all the necessary action on the compensation of the domestic players who have suffered a lot during this pandemic.



The BCCI could not manage to schedule a whole domestic season due to the restrictions posed by the pandemic last year.

Moreover, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has earlier assured the domestic cricketers about the compensation and support.



?The Apex Council has decided to form a committee to look into the issue of compensation for Indian domestic cricketers for domestic season 2020 and 2021. The Apex Council has mandated the Office-Bearers of BCCI to form the committee and find a suitable compensatory mechanism for domestic cricketers, at the earliest possible,? the statement further read.



<h2>BCCI to initial tax exemption talks with ICC:</h2>



Apart from these two major decisions, the Apex Council Meeting officials also focused on the tax exemptions from the ICC.



As per the rules, any country hosting ICC events needs to get tax exemptions from their governments, however, the BCCI has consistently failed to bring the Indian government to the same page.



As a result, the BCCI had to pay a huge sum during the ICC 2016 T20 World Cup. The global body deducted money from the revenue earned by the BCCI from stating the event in the country.



?In the meeting, it was apprised that ICC has to decide whether they want to conclude with the old rule which states that the country hosting the World Cup will have to get tax exemption. Every time BCCI faces this issue and the ICC will have to bear this cost, and not the board. Otherwise, BCCI is fine with not hosting any world event,? an Apex Council member said.

ICC T20 World Cup 2021 may get shifted to the UAE, says Jay Shah, BCCI secretary.



ICC T20 World Cup 2021: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may have to shift the important ICC T20 World Cup 2021 to the UAE due to irregularity in the covid situation in the country, says Jay Shah, BCCI Secretary.



Speaking to news agency ANI, Mr Shah informed that the board officials are monitoring the situations closely and a wiser call will be taken by keeping in mind the safety and health of the cricketers.



"Due to the COVID-19 situation in our country, we may shift the tournament to the UAE. We are monitoring the situation closely, the health and safety of players are paramount, we will take a final call soon," Shah told news agency ANI.

India is battling hard with the unprecedented covid pandemic since last year and is not yet completely recovered to be considered safe to host such a vast tournament comprising 16 international teams and their players.



The final call is yet not taken by the BCCI. As per the reports, the board will report to ICC on June 30th about the same.



The fourteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is also slated to be held in the UAE. The tournament will get underway on September 19th and the final will be played on 15th October.



Moreover, the ICC recently revealed the starting and final date for the T20 World Cup. The marquee World Cup will begin two days after the final of IPL 2021, i.e., 17th October while the final will be held on November 14.



If the T20 World Cup is finalised in the UAE, the overseas players who may have thought of pulling out of the second phase of the IPL 2021 due to overloaded international schedules can probably reconsider their decision to participate.

ENG vs IND 2021: Indian Test Cricketer in England tested covid positive, quarantined.



ENG vs IND 2021: Team India in England ahead of the India-England test series suffers a jolt as a player has tested covid positive in his 20 days break post the ICC World Test Championship final.



One of the 23 Indian cricketers present in England, who contracted the virus, has been isolated in his relative?s home.



A couple of reports suggested that the unnamed Indian player has been afflicted with the delta variant of the covid.



The news came out after BCCI secretary Jay Shah sent an alerting email to the Indian management in England in wake of the increasing number of covid cases in the hosting nation.



The Indian contingent was given a 20-day break after the final of WTC and are to assemble soon to begin their practice in Durham.



The covid infected cricketer will not travel with the team to Durham.



India is scheduled to play two practice matches against the combined county XI before they head out to face the senior English team in Nottingham on August 4.



It is worth noting that earlier, the entire England ODI team selected to play against Pakistan was ruled out as a couple of players contracted the virus.



The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) immediately announced a new bunch of players to play the ODI series against Pakistan and sent the whole previous English squad into isolation.

?I trust you and your family members are doing well and enjoying a three-week break before the tour commences. I have been made aware of the existing coronavirus situation in the United Kingdom,? Jay Shah wrote in an email to Indian management in the UK.



Shah further mentioned that due to the camaraderie shared by the two cricket boards, the Indian players and their families were allowed to take their second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in England, earlier this month.



?BCCI?s excellent working relationships with the ECB has enabled us to administer the second dose of vaccine to you and your family members.?



The BCCI secretary further mentioned the impact of the virus on the ECB due to which the cricket board had to field a completely different team against Pakistan.



?The new variant of covid (delta variant) is spreading very rapidly and we are not out of the danger zone. You may be aware that the ECB was forced to field another team to play against Pakistan and even the white ball series between India and Sri Lanka had to be postponed,? Shah wrote.



?In the view of that, it's in the best interest of everyone that the places of mass congregation, eateries, malls and watering holes must be avoided by you.?

ENGvsIND 2nd Test: Sourav Ganguly, Jay Shah to attend Lords Test Match between India and England.



ENGvsIND 2nd Test: After the shameful completion of the first test match at the Trent Bridge, where rain and thick dark clouds occasionally played spoilsport and forced the match to end in a draw, the second test at Lord?s is going to be crucial for India and England. Both the teams are reported to have moved to London on Monday to prepare for the second test match at Lord?s, starting 12th August.?



Suryakumar Yadav and Prithvi Shaw, who joined the Indian squad on August 3, remained back at Trent Bridge to complete their ten days quarantine. The duo will be given clearance to join the Indian squad at Lord?s on 13th August and subsequently begin their practice.



With nine days gap between the second and third test match, Suryakumar Yadav and Shaw will get ample opportunities to get into the groove and be match ready by the start of the third test.

<h2>Sourav Ganguly, Jay Shah to attend India vs England Test Match:</h2>



The reports from Times of India also suggest that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly will attend the Lord?s Test between India and England. Ganguly is all set to board a flight on Tuesday, August 10th for the UK to attend the match at the home of cricket.



The report also indicates that BCCI secretary Jay Shah along with treasurer Arun Dhumal and Vice President Rajeev Shukla are also likely to be present at some point during entire India vs England five matches test series.



With the UK government shifting India from a red list to an amber list on August 8, the travel between the two nations has become easy. All the travellers who are fully vaccinated as per the UK health protocols will be exempted from the mandatory 10 days quarantine.?



The Indian authorities were earlier expected to attend the ICC World Test Championship final at Southampton, however, the travel restrictions and quarantine issues forced the officials to back out from the decision. Now the rules have been relaxed, it has become much easier to attend the matches in England.

ENGvsIND 2nd Test: Sourav Ganguly, Jay Shah to attend Lords Test Match between India and England

The Indian skipper and whole team are hitched to winning the in-progress test series against England with the visitors leading the series with 1-0 after a sensational win at Lord?s earlier this week. However, amid the ongoing series, Virat Kohli, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly along with other top BCCI officials had an informal chat over the roadmap for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021.



It is learnt that the T20 World Cup 2021 will be important for the Indian skipper as he has struggled brutally to overcome the Knockout obstacles in the ICC events. India went down to Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, lost to New Zealand in the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final and also lost the all-important final of the ICC World Test Championship against New Zealand last month. All these events were held under the leadership of Virat Kohli and the experts believe that the upcoming showpiece event will be a litmus test of Virat Kohli?s captaincy.



The sources close to the BCCI informed that Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, Jay Shah and Rajeev Shukla had a chat while India were playing the second test match at Lords. The discussions were drawn over the T20 World Cup planning and roadmaps.



"Yes, BCCI top bosses did meet Kohli but let's say that it will not be fair to divulge the finer details of the discussion. But with very little time left for the T20 World Cup and India not having any games prior to the (IPL), discussion was more about the roadmap going into the event," a senior BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.



Team India will play its opening game at T20 World Cup 2021 against on and off-field rivals Pakistan on 24th October at Dubai International Stadium.



The team combination for the World Cup will be an issue for the BCCI officials as well as the Indian cricket management. It will be safe to say that India failed to make a perfect playing xi combination in all the ICC events knockout matches due to which India faced defeat.

India went with three specialist wicket-keepers in the ODI World Cup 2019 Semi-Finals. MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik were all selected to play the semi-final which backfired the team. Moreover, Virat opted to play both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the WTC final playing xi instead of four specialist pacers, which again was a misfire from the Indian captain.



Many experts believe that had India opted to play Mohammad Siraj or Umesh Yadav in place of a spinner, the team could have been on a more aggressive front. The conditions were in complete control of the pacers. The first day of the match was washed out by the rain and there were timely showers along with the cloud cover which was aiding the speedsters in the match.



<h2>Several Questions looming over the Indian selectors and management ahead of the T20 World Cup 2021:</h2>



The team selection will be a hiccup for the Indian cricket board and selectors. There are several options on the table to pick, however, the right and relevant needs to be chosen.



India has Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Deepak Chahar, Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami in the pacers list. The management could only go with a few of them.



The issue of spinners will be another obstacle for India. Who among Rahul Chahar, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy will pair with Ravindra Jadeja and Yuzvendra Chahal in the squad.



Will the selector go with Shreyas Iyer, who has shown good signs in the past, however, sustained an injury to halt the process, or Suryakumar Yadav, who has been sensational lately. Will they both make it to the squad and what about the playing XI?



There are several questions looming over the head and all these answers need to be addressed by Indian skipper Virat Kohli along with other responsible BCCI officials in order to get a much-anticipated success in the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly and other BCCI officials discussed roadmap of the T20 World Cup 2021

virat-kohli-and-sourav-ganguly-discussed-roadmap-of-t20-world-cup-2021

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has ridiculed all the fresh media reports that point out certain Indian players reaching out to BCCI for Virat Kohli?s captaincy terms. Over all these obscure and unsubstantial reports published by the top outlets, the Indian board is peeved.



Several reports have come up after Virat Kohli?s decision to step down from the T20I captaincy. The media outlets putting twos and twos together, earlier published that Virat went to the BCCI in a proposal to remove Rohit Sharma from the vice captain?s role, which in turn didn?t go well with the board. However, during recent times, it is being reported that Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara went on to BCCI secretary Jay Shah as they were not pleased with Virat?s captaincy.



Several other reports have been published which clearly states that BCCI forced Virat to leave his T20I captaincy and in coming times he will also withdraw from his ODI captaincy.



Nullifying all these claims from the media outlets, BCCI on record said that there were no written or verbal complaints from the players and asked the media to stop publishing rubbish things.&nbsp;



"The media must stop writing this rubbish. Let me say this on the record that no Indian cricketer has made any complaint to the BCCI - written or verbal. The BCCI can't keep answering every false report that keeps appearing,? said Arun Dhumal, BCCI treasurer.

After seeing Mumbai Indians? middle order performance in the ongoing phase two of the IPL 2021, reports of change in India?s World Cup squad began making rounds that were completely false, as asserted by Arun Dhumal.



?The other day, we saw some reports saying there will be changes in India's World Cup squad. Who said that?", he added.



The senior BCCI official also added that such rubbish reporting will only damage the Indian cricket and BCCI?s image. It?s completely under the rights of journalists to make or pen down their thoughts and opinions, however, publishing something which is controversial using a specific cricketer?s name without proper evidence is not good and will hurt them.



"This kind of reporting harms Indian cricket more than anything else. We can understand if senior journalists - who have followed the game for a very long time and tracked it so devotedly - believe the Indian team should do this or do that. That's an opinion and we respect that. It's an observation and that's their job. I myself enjoy reading good reports. But to concoct tales and say this person said this or that person said, without substantiating it, is not done," Dhumal added.

None of the Indian players have complained about Virat?s captaincy: Arun Dhumal

T20 World Cup 2021: Former Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni has decided not to take any honorarium for his services to the Indian team in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021, scheduled to begin on 17th October in UAE and Oman.



BCCI secretary Jay Shah on Tuesday revealed that Dhoni will not charge any payment for his service of mentorship to the Indian team, he said: ?MS Dhoni is not charging any honorarium for his services as the mentor of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup."



The celebrated finisher was declared to be the mentor of the Indian team during the announcement of a 15-men Indian contingent for the T20 World Cup by the BCCI secretary.



It is noteworthy that Dhoni has won three ICC titles during his stay at the Indian team as a skipper. The swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batsman won the inaugural season of the T20 World Cup in 2007. He further lifted the coveted ICC ODI World Cup title in 2011 following which the Indian team won Champions Trophy in 2013.



Jay Shah informed that the decision to bring MS Dhoni to the Indian team as a mentor was taken after consulting Virat Kohli (skipper), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain) and Ravi Shastri (head coach). He approached the CSK skipper while he was on his visit to Dubai for the regulation check of the IPL arrangements.

?I spoke to the captain and vice-captain, as well as Ravi Shastri. They all are on the same page, so that?s why this matter has reached this conclusion,? added Jay Shah.



?He was okay with my decision and agreed to be a Team Mentor of Team India for the T20 World Cup only. I am glad that MS (Dhoni) has accepted the BCCI?s offer and he is keen to contribute to the national team once again. MS will work closely with Ravi Shastri as well as other support staff to provide support and direction to Team India,? Shah had said.



The three times IPL winner captain, MS Dhoni, will pick up his national duty after he completes his IPL campaign. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is scheduled to play the final of the IPL 2021 with either Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) or Delhi Capitals (DC).



Team India will start its T20 World Cup run with a match against arch-rivals Pakistan on 24th October in Dubai International Stadium.
