BCCI likely to omit bio-bubbles for India?s home series against South Africa: Reports: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to exclude the requirement of a controlled environment in the upcoming five matches T20I series between India and South Africa. The decision to omit bio-bubble is taken keeping in mind the player?s mental well-being.



Ever since the unprecedented rise in the COVID cases was seen, the bio-bubbles became part of the lives of every sportsperson. The tournaments and international competitions began to continue with proper bio-bubble safety following the havoc wreaked by the dreaded virus.



However, with the situation getting better, countries are looking on easing the curbs for everyone, including the sportsperson.&nbsp;



The fifteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is being played following a proper bio-bubble protocol. The 2-month long competition will end on 29th May and officials don?t want players to straightaway jump from one strict environment to another.?



The five matches T20I series between India and South Africa will be played across five different venues in India - Delhi, Cuttack, Vizag, Rajkot, and Bengaluru. The T20I series will kickstart on June 9.



"If all goes well and things remain in control like it is right now, there will be no bio-bubbles and hard quarantine during the home series against South Africa," a senior BCCI official told PTI on conditions of anonymity.



"Then we are going to Ireland and England and there won't be any bio-bubble in those countries too.



The official further added that bio-bubbles in a long run are not sustainable for any sporting event. It would eventually take a toll on players? mental health which is quite dangerous.



?Some players have got periodic breaks but if you look at the bigger picture, living in bio-bubble one series after another and now two months of IPL is simply exhausting for the players,? he said.

<h2>Break for senior players:</h2>



All the senior players will be given periodic breaks during the five T20I matches against South Africa. The likes of skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and others will get an adequate breather before they board a flight to the UK.



?There are five T20 Internationals between June 9 to 19 in five cities. Obviously, all the players won?t be playing all the games. Some might be given total rest and some might play a few games.



?If these guys aren?t given systemic breaks, it will only harm them. But obviously, the duration of break will be decided by selectors after talking to head coach (Rahul Dravid),? the source added.



<h2>South Africa tour of India 2022- Schedule:</h2>



First T20I, Delhi ? June 9



Second T20I, Cuttack ? June 12



Third T20I, Visakhapatnam ? June 14



Fourth T20I, Rajkot ? June 17

BCCI likely to omit bio-bubbles for India?s home series against South Africa: Reports

Virat Kohli to be rested for home T20I series against South Africa: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly contemplating resting batting maestro Virat Kohli for India's home T20I series against South Africa. Team India is scheduled to host the Proteas for a five-match T20I series, starting June 9.



Virat Kohli?s slim patch in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is worrisome. The cricketer hasn?t been able to score consistently and has notched up three ducks in the ongoing season.&nbsp;



A senior BCCI official informed that the senior players will be given rest as they all have been in bio-bubbles for a long time.?Moreover, with a lot of international commitments lined ahead, the players need to get some time off after the IPL 2022.



?Virat Kohli in all probability will be rested for the South Africa series. He has been playing a lot of cricket and has been in the bubble for a long time. It has been a policy decision regarding Kohli and other senior players that they will be given periodic breaks from time to time,? a senior BCCI official was quoted by NDTV Sports.



Notably, Virat has only managed to score 215 runs from 12 IPL outings in the ongoing edition of the tournament. The right-handed batter has only managed to score a half-century and played with a poor strike rate of 111.34.



The BCCI official further informed that apart from Virat Kohli, team India?s skipper Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah are a couple of other names that will be rested for the series against South Africa.



?Even skipper Rohit Sharma would require adequate rest with so much cricket being played. Some of the others include KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant, who all from time to time will need rest,? the official added.



Evidently, with a lot of senior players getting a break, the selectors will give chances to youngsters to hone their skills and impress everyone in the IPL 2022. The likes of Umran Malik, Tilak Verma and Arshdeep Singh have caught selectors' keen eyes.

Virat Kohli to be rested for home T20I series against South Africa: Reports

Hardik, Shikhar in line to become Indian?s skipper for T20I series against SA: All-rounder Hardik Pandya and opener batter Shikhar Dhawan are in selector's target to hand team India's captaincy role for the home T20I series against South Africa and away series against Ireland as the senior players will be given much-needed break from competitive cricket.



The home series against South Africa for five T20Is will begin on June 9 while India's tour of Ireland for 2 T20Is will kickstart on June 26. The squad for both tours is expected to be rolled out on May 22nd.



Notably, the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant will be given rest for the two subsequent series as a part of their workload management. The aforementioned players are constantly playing cricket for the last couple of months and BCCI wants all of them fresh for the tour of England, starting July 1.



"All the senior India players will get at least three and half weeks of complete rest. Rohit, Virat, KL, Rishabh and Jasprit will all directly go to England for the 'fifth Test' following the white-ball series. We need all our key players to remain fresh for the England series," a senior BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on the condition of anonymity.



It has been learnt that Shikhar Dhawan, who has led team India in absence of Rohit, Virat and Rahul in the past, along with Hardik Pandya, who has been impressive in his maiden stint as the captain of the IPL franchise - Gujarat Titans, are in line to lead the men in blue for the two upcoming shortest format tours.



"The selectors have a couple of choices. Shikhar Dhawan, as he has already captained India in absence of Virat, Rohit and Rahul during last year's Sri Lanka series. But Hardik Pandya's impressive captaincy for Gujarat Titans hasn't gone unnoticed. So it will be a close call," said the source when asked about the choice of leadership.

<h2>Umran Malik is too raw to be handed India debut:</h2>



It is further understood that pace sensation Umran Malik is too raw to be given a maiden call for the national team. Though his 150 plus bolts have generated a fair bit of excitement amongst everyone, however, a couple of India A tours would help him discover himself and get better with his strengths.



Lucknow Super Giant?s left-arm pacer Moshin Khan has reportedly excited the selectors with his brilliant pace, bounce and swing and is in the mix to get a maiden call-up in the T20I squad.



"Mohsin has impressed almost everyone with his pace, bounce and swing in this edition. He does have a chance. Having said that, not ruling out Umran or Arshdeep either, but Mohsin might just be slightly ahead," he added.



It is important to note that Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Deepak Chahar won?t be named in the squad due to their respective injury concerns. All the three cricketers are ruled out of the Tata IPL 2022 and are undergoing their rehab program.?

Nortje has scalped seven wickets so far in the Tata IPL 2022 after featuring in five matches for the Delhi based franchise.

RCB pacer Harshal Patel injured, likely to be ruled out of SA series: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) premier pacer Harshal Patel has been injured during RCB?s recent match against Gujarat Titans. Patel suffered a split webbing on his bowling hand due to which he couldn't complete his quota of 4 overs against GT, last night.



Harshal Patel could only deliver one over and left the field after suffering split webbing on Thursday. If the reports are to be believed, Patel is likely to be ruled out of the remainder of the Tata IPL 2022.



Moreover, the pacer is also doubtful for the T20I series against South Africa which will begin after the conclusion of the IPL 2022.



?We are in touch with RCB?s medical team. We should have an update in a day or two. He is certainly doubtful but not ruled out. We have some days left and depending on his recovery. we will take a call,? a member of the selection committee told.



Experts reckon a split webbing can take anywhere around three to five weeks to recover depending upon the number of stitches which makes Harshal Patel doubtful for the five matches T20I series against South Africa.



The right-arm pacer will head towards the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for his further rehabilitation in the coming few days.

A couple of years ago, speedster Umran Malik was just another pacer with an arm-action similar to Pakistani legendary bowler Waqar Younis. However, cut short to today, Malik has become the centre of attraction and has lit up everyone?s eyes with his searing pace. The Jammu and Kashmir bowler has filled everyone with excitement and everyone wants to see him play for the men in blue in the upcoming T20I series. But, will Umran Malik make his debut in the T20I series against South Africa? Here is what head coach Rahul Dravid said:



Addressing the media queries ahead of the start of the South Africa tour of India for five T20Is, head coach Rahul Dravid gave a clear indication that Umran Malik might have to wait for his turn to come.



"He (Malik) certainly bowled quick and with pace. It is brilliant in terms of watching Umran in the nets, you can see that he has got that pace. Obviously, he is learning. He is a young boy and he is getting better, improving,? said Rahul Dravid ahead of India vs South Africa 1st T20I in Delhi.



?From our, perspective, very happy to have someone like him in the mix. We have to see how much playing time we can give him, we need to be realistic, we have a large squad, and it is not possible to give everyone playing XI time.?

?I think I am certainly someone who likes to have that consistency, give people time and let him feel settled in the positions. It would be interesting time to see how much playing time we give to Umran, we also have Arshdeep here who is brilliant as well,? he added.



?Another thing which has been interesting for me watching the IPL from the outside is the number of Indian bowlers bowling fast. And obviously, being coach of all three formats of the game, I would love to see that translated into the longer formats of the game.?



Team India will lock horns against South Africa for the opening T20I match tomorrow (9th June) in Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. KL Rahul will lead the Indian contingent in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has been handed the vice-captain?s role.



Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami are three other notable absentees for the SA series as the cricket board has given them a breather.

5. Steve Smith (AUS)
Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.

Former Australian captain was the best captain that the game has seen. He retired with four ICC trophies. Ponting also retired with the second-most runs in test cricket, and he is the fourth-fastest overall, having done it in 196 innings. Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.

2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)
The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar is the second-fastest batter overall. Sachin retired with the most runs, centuries, half-centuries, and matches in test cricket history. That tells something about his longevity. Sachin played 200 tests and scored 15921 runs at an average of 53.78 and a best of 248 not out. He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.
1. Brian Lara (WI)

Overall, he scored 11953 runs in 131 tests at an average of 52.88, with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.
