WPL 2024: According to Jay Shah, the second season of the Women's Premier League would be played in one single state of India, as was the case in the previous season.? Shah, the secretary of the BCCI and the convenor of the WPL's committee, announced that WPL 2024 will begin in the second or third week of February.



"It is decided that we will have the tournament in February; most probably, we will start in the second or third week." During the WPL auction, he told reporters, "As far as the venue is concerned, it will be held in one state only for logistical reasons, and what if we don't get two venues in one city? Logistics are very important, and we can think of implementing the multi-city model just like the IPL next season.?



In regards to the selection of the venue where the matches of WPL 2024 might be played, the 35-year-old said that multiple options are available for the BCCI to consider. "We can hold the matches in either Bangalore or Uttar Pradesh." "We have so many venues, even in Gujarat, where we have Ahmedabad and Rajkot, and a new stadium is under construction in Vadodara," he remarked.

Jay Shah further stated that the WPL's regulatory board will meet with the WPL franchisees to finalize the venue?s. "Essentially, it is a joint decision by the franchises and the BCCI." We'll sit down and make a decision together. But the matches will undoubtedly be held in one state." The BCCI secretary stated that the venue selection must be done carefully in order to avoid clashes with domestic matches.



?We will need to have a look at the available venues at our disposal. Domestic matches are taking place in Gujarat, Chandigarh, and Ranchi. "We don't just want to organize WPL matches in Mumbai," he explained.



The Secretary of BCCI is pretty confident regarding the success of WPL 2024 and claims that the 2nd edition will be more successful than last year.



"This time, WPL Season 2 will be more successful. The most notable aspect of today's auction was that two uncapped players, particularly Indian players, received such large sums., It's a big thing that the franchises are showing a lot of interest in Indian players," he added.

WPL 2024: Womens Premier League to follow the same city venue model as last year, Jay Shah

wpl-2024-womens-premier-league-to-follow-the-same-city-venue-model-as-last-year-jay-shah

WPL 2024 Auction: After a successful inaugural season of WPL this year, Women Cricket is set to escalate the tones next year as there was some real heat in the Auction table last night. Australian star Annabel Sutherland and India's uncapped pace sensation Kashvee Gautam became the joint-highest earners at the WPL 2024 Player Auction with deals of INR 2 Crore. We brought to you full Squads of all the five teams after the Auction for WPL 2024.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>WPL 2024 Auction</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#wpl-2024-auction-details-teamwise">WPL 2024 Auction Details (Teamwise)</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#1-mumbai-indians">1- Mumbai Indians</a></li><li class=""><a href="#2-delhi-capitals">2- Delhi Capitals</a></li><li class=""><a href="#3-gujarat-giants">3- Gujarat Giants</a></li><li class=""><a href="#4-royal-challengers-bangalore">4- Royal Challengers Bangalore</a></li><li class=""><a href="#5-up-warriorz">5- UP Warriorz</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



The inaugural season of the Women's Premier League was a great success for women's cricket where Mumbai Indians became the first team to win the Women's Premier League Tournament. Smriti Mandhana became the most expensive player of WPL last year sold for whooping INR 3.40 Crore to Royal Challengers Bangalore and she is still the most expensive after the second season of WPL Auction. 



However, this was a mini-auction and still, there are two players who were followed to the limits by all franchises. Sutherland of Australia and uncapped Indian Kashvee Gautam were the two making headlines after partying a deal of INR 2 Crores each in the WPL 2024 Auction. 



A total of 30 slots were filled in the mini-auction where Gujarat Giants had 10 alone. They went for a complete reshaping of their squad after a mediocre 2023 season. Royal Challenger Bangalore were filled with big superstars of International cricket in 2023, yet failed to qualify for finals so they also asked for 7 new players in the WPL 2024 Auction.



It was pleasing to hear that not only foreign players, but also Indian players were in high demand. Five out of ten most expensive players were Indian women. If we talk in numbers, 6.85 Crore were spent on Indian players and 5.90 Crore were spent on overseas players. 



Down below are the details of what teams made out of the Auction and full Squads of all the five teams after the Auction for WPL 2024:

The defending champions had all the boxes checked already but were in search of a head of fast bowling unit and a couple of spinners. They bargained some absolute stars at cheap prices and also got a right arm pacer Shabnim Ismail with the winning bid of INR 1.2 crore, against Gujarat Giants and RCB. 



They got a left-arm wrist spinner Amandeep Kaur at the base price of INR 10 lakh, left-arm spinner Fatima Jaffer, and Leg spinner Keerthana B. They also bid for allrounder Sajana S for INR 15 Lakh in WPL 2024 Auction.

Delhi Capital were the runner ups of the WPL 2023 season. It was quite visible that the side lacks lower order batting which could end innings with a momentum and after WPL 2024 Auction, they now got Annabel Sutherland.

Royal Challengers Bangalore went for experienced spinner-hunt in the WPL 2024 Auction Table. They roped in Ekta Bisht and Australia's legspinner Georgia Wareham. Although Ekta Bisht is the most expensive player for them this season but inclusion of Kate Cross would have pleased them the most.

Buys: Ekta Bisht (INR 60 Lakh), Georgia Wareham (INR 40 Lakh), Kate Cross (INR 30 Lakh), Shubha Satheesh (INR 10 Lakh), S Meghana (INR 30 Lakh), Simran Dil Bahadur (INR 30 Lakh), Sophie Moluneux (INR 30 Lakh).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="5-up-warriorz">5- UP Warriorz</h3>



UP chasing an Indian batter was well obvious after the last season performances of their batters. They went 1.3 Cr for Vrinda Dinesh and also roped in Danny Wyatt for just 30 Lakhs. 



They retained most of the overseas players which is the core strength of UPW. They looked quite certain with their choices in the WPL 2024 auction.

The second season of the Women?s Premier League 2024 (WPL 2024) is all set to have a blockbuster start as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be spearheading the star-studded opening ceremony. King Khan?s association with cricket started in 2008 when he became the owner of the two-time IPL winner Kolkata Knight Riders. SRK also owns the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) team Trinbago Knight Riders and the Major League Cricket (MLC) franchise Los Angeles Knight Riders.

WPL 2024 is all set to kick off tomorrow as last year?s finalists, the Delhi Capitals and defending champion Mumbai Indians, will battle it out against each other at Bangalore?s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Before the captains of both teams walk out for the toss of the opening match, a star-studded lineup of Bollywood stars will be setting the stage ablaze in Bangalore in WPL 2024?s opening ceremony. While Shah Rukh Khan is anticipated to be the leading star, modern day Bollywood celebrities such as Siddharth Malhotra, Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Karthik Aryan will be performing in the opening ceremony as well.

The women?s teams of defending champions Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are all set to lock horns against each other in the opening match of the WPL 2024 today at Bangalore?s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It will be a repeat of last year?s final, where the Harmanpreet Kaur led Mumbai Indians defeated Meg Lanning?s Delhi Capitals by seven wickets. MI successfully chased down the target of 132 runs in 19.3 overs.



DC finished at the top of the WPL 2023 overall standings with six victories in eight games. MI also won the same number of games and lost two games as well, but they finished in second place in the points table with a lower net run rate. Both teams faced each other three times last season, and Harmanpreet Kaur?s team managed to win in two encounters.



Meg Lanning will be handling the leadership duties of the Delhi Capitals once again this season. They retained 15 players before the WPL 2024 auction and released three players from their squad, including Tara Norris, the USA Seamer. The Capitals had an auction purse of 2.5 crore rupees, and they emptied their purse on Annabel Sutherland as they spent 2 crore rupees to make her a part of their squad ahead of the WPL 2024. They completed the auction formalities by buying Ashwani Kumari and Aparna Mondal at their base price of 10 lakh rupees.



Mumbai, on the other hand, had a silent auction as they had an auction purse of 2.1 crore rupees. They got engaged in a bidding war with Delhi for Annabel Sutherland, but they weren?t able to add her to their team. The Mumbai-based team, however, managed to secure the services of Shabnim Ismail for 1.2 crore rupees. They purchased S Sajana for a price tag of 15 lakh rupees and rounded off the auction proceeding by buying Keerthana Balakrishnan, Amandeep Kaur, and Fatima Jaffer for 10 lakh rupees.

WPL 2024 Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals DREAM11 TEAM, Head-to-Head stats, Pitch report and Live streaming details

wpl-2024-mi-vs-dc-dream-11-team-h2h-stats-pitch-report-and-live-streaming-details

RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction: The Women's cricketing league in India, the WPL is underway and Smriti Mandana's Royal Challengers Bangalore and Alyssa Healy's UP Warriorz are set to play the second game of the second season of the Women's Premier League. This post reads the RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, Head-to-Head Records, and Pitch Report.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#wpl-2024-rcb-vs-upw-overview">WPL 2024: RCB vs UPW Overview</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rcb-vs-upw-expected-playing-11-s">RCB vs UPW Expected Playing 11s</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rcb-vs-upw-dream-11-prediction">RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rcb-vs-upw-dream-11-team-captain-and-vice-captain">RCB vs UPW Dream11 Team Captain and Vice-captain</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rcb-vs-upw-head-to-head">RCB vs UPW Head-to-Head</a></li><li class=""><a href="#m-chinnaswamy-stadium-pitch-report">M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



The second match of the WPL 2024 is scheduled to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz. The contest will be played in the home ground of the Bangalore-based franchise, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium at 7:30 PM IST. 



Both teams will look to start with a win as both teams didn't have the ideal season 1. RCB ended the season at the 4th position in the points table with just 2 wins in 8 matches whereas UPW got slightly better numbers but ended at 3rd position with 4 wins in 8 matches.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/356337-1.jpg" alt="RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, Head-to-Head Records, and Pitch Report | Royal Challengers Banglore vs UP Warriorz Dream11 Team" class="wp-image-127068" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Royal Challengers Banglore vs UP Warriorz 2023 (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Always the most destructive team on Paper, RCB, had the world's best women athletes in their roaster in the previous year and they have added more. The team consisting of star players like Smriti Mandhana, Renuka Singh, Richa Ghosh, Sophie Devine, and Ellyse Perry has added more prominent and promising names to their squad like Kate Cross, Ekta Bisht, and Georgia Wareham.



This year again, RCB is one of the best and one of the most powerful teams in the tournament and they would be seeking a better season of the WPL and their first aim will be to seal the first match of the season.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/356333-1.jpg" alt="RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, Head-to-Head Records, and Pitch Report | Royal Challengers Banglore vs UP Warriorz Dream11 Team" class="wp-image-127069" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">UP Warriorz (Image-BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



UP Warriorz, on the other hand, were one of the underdogs last season but played a better cricket than the strongest team of the tournament. They defeated Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, and Royal Challengers Bangalore last season and were hard to beat throughout the tournament.



Alyssa Healy-led UP-based franchise is also full of big international women athletes like Deepti Sharma, Grace Harris, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Sophie Ecclestone, and Tahlia Mcgrath. In addition, they have roped in more talent in the WPL Auction in the form of Dani Wyatt, Vrinda Dinesh, Poonam Khemnar, Saima Thakor, and Gouher Sultana.



Both teams are top-class teams and would be eager to give their 100% on the field on the match day. Below are the RCB vs UPW Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, Head-to-Head Records, and Pitch Report:

In Twenty20 cricket, Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium provides a batting-friendly surface. The WPL 2024 matches are probably going to have flat surfaces and short boundaries, which might lead to high-scoring games. In the eighteen Twenty20 matches played here, teams that bat first have only won seven times, thus both captains will probably want to field first on Saturday.

WPL Points Table 2024: Women's Premier League 2024 started with the opening clash between the finalists of the first season, Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians. A last-ball thriller and Mumbai Indians sealed came up with the first win in the first match of the second edition of the tournament. This post includes WPL Points Table 2024 Updated (24 Feb) After MI vs DC.

Unlike the first season, the second season of the WPL is scheduled to take place in two venues- M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore, and Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Match number one of the second season of Women's Premier League Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians was played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="dc-vs-mi-match-review">DC vs MI Match Review</h2>



The defending champions won the toss and asked Capitals to bat first. Delhi lost the aggressive opener Shafali Verma early to Shabnim Ismail. Skipper Lanning and Alice Capsey then built a partnership and together they eased down the pressure and started hammering MI bowlers. 



Nat Sciver-Brunt in her second spell sent Lanning back and Jamimah Rodrigues entered the arena. She and Alice Capsey opened the assault on Mumbai and scored a few very quick runs. Capsey smashed her half-century in 38 balls and got out on 75 off 53. Jamimah added 42 off 22 and a cameo by Marizanne Kapp of 16 runs in just 9 balls led Delhi to a decent 171 total in the first innings.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Capsey-jamimah-1.jpg" alt="WPL Points Table 2024 Updated (24 Feb) After MI vs DC | Full Women's Premier League Points Table" class="wp-image-127074" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Capsey and Jamimah (Image-Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Delhi Capitals were on fire with the ball and Kapp took the first wicket in the second ball of the match. A 50-run partnership between Nat Sceiver-Brunt and Yastika was broken by Arundhati Reddy, dismissing the former in her first ball of the match. Yastika Bhatiya was too good on the field in the first match of the season. She alone took the Capitals by storm and punched 57 off 45 balls. 



Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who was out of form for a long time finally got some runs off her bat and she played a captain's knock. With 55 runs off just 34 balls, she was the one, who took Mumbai close to the target. MI needed 22 runs off 12 balls and Sutherland bowled excellent 5 balls but Kaur smashed a SIX in the last ball of the over and the target was 12 in the last over. 



Alice Capsey, who showed her power in the first innings was called for the final over to show if she could do some magic with the ball in her hands. She dismissed Vastrakar in the first ball. MI were under huge pressure and youngster Amanjot Kaur came at the crease. She took three runs in the next two balls and they still needed 9 off 3 balls.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/S-Sanjana-1.jpg" alt="WPL Points Table 2024 Updated (24 Feb) After MI vs DC | Full Women's Premier League Points Table" class="wp-image-127075" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">S Sanjana Wins the game for MI (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Harman lofted one over cover-point and found a boundary and got out in the very next ball. 5 runs were needed off 1 ball and the new batter S Sanjana did the job. A good length ball by Capsey was lofted over long-on and Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets.

WPL 2024: Smriti Mandhana led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) secured a nail-biting two-run victory against Alyssa Healy?s UP Warriorz in the second game of the WPL 2024 at Bangalore's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, February 24th. This article will provide Highest Run Getter and Wicket Taker after RCB vs UP Warriorz



After being put in to bat first by Healy, Bangalore lost their opener, Sophie Devine (1 run in five balls), in the first ball of the third over as Grace Harris (1-22) caught her plumb in front of the wickets. Tahlia Mcgrath (1-39) got the better of RCB Skipper Smriti Mandhana (13 runs in 11 balls), while Sophie Ecclestone dealt with the threat of Ellyse Perry (8 runs in 7 balls) as she sent Perry back to the pavilion on the last ball of the 8th over. The home team were struggling at 54-3 at the end of eight overs but then the duo of Richa Ghosh (62 runs in 37 balls) and Sabbhineni Meghana (53 runs in 44 balls) started the rescue act for the Bangalore based team as they duo added 71 runs for the fourth wicket, which propelled their side to 157-6 in 20 overs.



Talking about the bowling department of the UP Warriorz, Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2-24) took a brace of wickets while the trio of Sophie Ecclestone (1-26), Tahlia McGrath (1-39), and Deepti Sharma (1-23) picked up one wicket each.



In reply to RCB?s 157 runs, the UP Warriors were able to score just 155 runs in 20 overs at the loss of seven wickets as they fell short of the target of 158 runs by two runs. Shweta Sehrawat (31 runs in 25 balls) and Grace Harris (38 runs in 23 balls) were the top scorers for the UP based team.



Leg Spinner Sobhana Asha (5-22) destroyed the batting unit of the UP Warriorz with her brilliant fifer, as her exceptional bowling performance allowed RCB to turn the match in their favour. Sophie Molineux (1-36) and Georgia Wareham (1-23) took a wicket each.

WPL 2024: Highest Run Getter and Wicket Taker after Royal Challengers Bangalore vs UP Warriorz

wpl-2024-highest-run-getter-and-wicket-taker-after-royal-challengers-bangalore-vs-up-warriorz

The 38-year-old Indian spinner, known for his sharp cricketing mind and mastery over the ball, recently opened up about his unexpected decision to retire mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
“For me, what matters is playing with honesty and passion. I don’t need a farewell game. The happiness and experiences the game has given me are more than enough,” said Ravichandran Ashwin, addressing his retirement from international cricket. 
Ashwin's announcement, made after the third Test in Brisbane, sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. Fans and pundits were taken aback by the abruptness of the decision, especially since he had been a key figure in Indian cricket for over a decade.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1bda113.jpg" alt="">
However, Ashwin made it clear that the decision was instinctive, coming from a place of self-awareness rather than external pressures. He revealed on his YouTube channel, “When you know your time is up, there’s no point in dragging it further. My creativity on the field felt like it had run its course.”
Reflecting on the events leading to his retirement, Ashwin explained how his fluctuating role in the team influenced his decision. “You think what happened? I did not play the first Test. I played the second but did not play the third. It was possible I could play the next or not play the next. This is a side of my creativity and I was looking to explore it. At that time, I felt my creativity was over, so it was over. It was simple” he said. The Tamil Nadu cricketer, who has always been known for his articulate thoughts, emphasized that his retirement was not about controversies or conflicts but about moving forward when he felt ready.
The idea of a farewell game, often seen as a ceremonial way to honor a cricketer’s career, was something Ashwin dismissed outright. “Imagine if I want to play a farewell Test but I do not deserve a place. Imagine, I am only in the team because it is my farewell Test. I don't want that,” he remarked. He elaborated that the essence of cricket lies in the joy it brings, not in grand exits or extended applause.
Ashwin's humility and grounded approach to the sport shone through as he said, “The game has given me so much already; I have no complaints.”
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67871d1871c43.jpg" alt="">
Ashwin also touched upon his aspirations post-retirement. While he left the Indian dressing room, he hinted at continuing his cricketing journey elsewhere. “I still have cricket left in me, but it’s about finding the right space to explore it. For now, I’m happy to leave when people are asking ‘why’ instead of ‘why not,’” he said with a smile.
As one of India’s finest off-spinners, Ashwin's legacy is monumental. With 537 Test wickets in 106 matches and a combined total of 765 international wickets, he stands as one of the country’s greatest bowlers. Only Anil Kumble has more wickets for India. Beyond numbers, his ability to outthink batters and adapt to different conditions made him a game-changer on the field.
While his departure may seem sudden, it is quintessential Ashwin—methodical, introspective, and unafraid to take bold steps. As fans come to terms with his decision, one thing is clear: Ravichandran Ashwin’s contribution to Indian cricket will remain etched in history, not for how it ended, but for how it unfolded with brilliance and integrity.

Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, citing self-awareness. Rejecting a farewell game, he emphasized cricket's joy over ceremonial exits, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy in Indian cricket.

Ashwin's instinctive retirement highlights humility and self-awareness, valuing cricket's joy and legacy over traditional farewell gestures. A remarkable journey concludes.

In what will be disappointing news for the Sanju Samson fans, the keeper-batter is unlikely to cut into the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in PTI, it is learned that the Kerala batter is unlikely to be part of the ODI setup for India. 
There were reports earlier that suggested that Sanju Samson would be the second-choice keeper in the team, with Rishabh Pant being the first-choice keeper. However, that won't be the case, as even after KL Rahul was touted to play as a specialist batter, Samson won't be part of the squad. 
As per the reports, it is learned Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and Dhruv Jurel are the three players who are fighting for the place of second keeper for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, it is learned that Jurel is expected to get the preference in the team along with Rishabh Pant. 
<h2>BCCI has decided that they will be backing Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as two keepers in Test and ODI </h2>
The reports claimed that BCCI has decided that they will be backing Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel as two keepers in Test and ODI setup. While Sanju Samson, who hit three centuries in T20Is in 2024, will be the first-choice keeper in the shortest format of the game. 
Dhruv Jurel hasn't made his debut for India in the ODIs. But has performed exceptionally well in Tests. The keeper-batter has shown great maturity in the longest format of the game, which impressed the selectors as they decided to give a long rope. 
Dhruv Jurel also has been named in the Indian squad for the T20I series against England. With Sanju Samson being the first-choice keeper, it is likely that Jurel will get a chance in the XI for the five-match series. He has played two games in the shortest format of the game. 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be announcing the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on 19th January. Rohit Sharma is set to lead the team, and it will be a massive opportunity for the team to make a comeback after having a horrendous outing in Test cricket of late.

Sanju Samson to play the ICC Champions Trophy 2025? HUGE update arrives from the Indian camp

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. 
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. 
<h2>England have set up their training camp in Abu Dhabi</h2>
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. 
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.
<h2>Due to his Pakistani origin, the visa approval is getting delayed</h2>
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. 
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. 
<h2>The case of Rehan Ahmed &amp; Adil Rashid is clear</h2>
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. 
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.
<h2>This is how Saqib's International career has been so far</h2>
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.

Indian Cricket Team's skipper and T20 World Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma is anticipated to travel to Pakistan in the month of February ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament, as per the news reports of Indian Media
If the reports are to be believed, this visit would be historical moment in the world of Cricket, making it one of the rarest occasions where an Indian player has travelled to the country of their arch-rivals for an International Cricket event in recent years. 
The visit to Pakistan is apparently planned for a photo shoot of all-captains with the trophy of the marquee event and ICC organized press conference. During this event, the skippers of all the participating sides will share their views and expectations for the upcoming competition. 
Indian Cricket's governing body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not given any official confirmation regarding the visit of Rohit. Additionally, the Men in Blue have not announced their squad for the forthcoming Champions Trophy event yet 
Currently, the Rohit Sharma-led team is focused on their white-ball bilateral series assignment versus England, where they will be taking part in five T20 International matches and three One-Day International contests ahead of the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy.
<h2>Group Stages  </h2>
All of the participating nations are divided into 2-groups of 4 teams each:  
- Group A: India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh  
- Group B: England, Afghanistan, South Africa &amp; Australia
Tournament hosts Pakistan will be playing in the opening contest of the Champions Trophy versus the Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand on the 19th of February in the city of Karachi. Team India on the other hand, will kick off their Champions Trophy campaign versus Asian-Rivals Bangladesh on the 20th of February in the city of Dubai. The highly awaited Pakistan vs India clash is scheduled to be played on 23rd of February in Dubai.

Things are not going right for the Indian team currently. Apart from the poor performances on the field, there have been rumours of a rift between the players, head coach Gautam Gambhir as well and the chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar. 
Of late, there have been reports that claimed that Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar have been involved in various tussles over the selection. The head coach wants to be involved in the selection matters and wants BCCI to allow him players of choice. 
Gautam Gambhir also had a massive say in the team selection for the Australia tour. The head coach played a huge part in the selection of Nitish Kumar Reddy as well as Harshit Rana. He also selected the playing XI without much consultation during the tour, following which he has come under massive scanner. 
The chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar, on the other hand, reportedly doesn't want any interference. And this has led to a rift between the two. This surely has reflected on the team's performance which has been underwhelming in Tests and ODIs.
<h2>It’s a completely wrong statement; there is no rift between the chairman of selection (Ajit Agarkar) and the coach - BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla</h2>
Amid all the rumours, BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla rubbishef off all the reports. He said that there is no rift between Ajit Agarkar, Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma. As quoted by PTI, he explained: 
“It’s a completely wrong statement; there is no rift between the chairman of selection (Ajit Agarkar) and the coach; there is no rift between captain and coach. This is all rubbish which is being spread in a section of media."
Rajiv Shukla also confirmed that Rohit Sharma will continue as the skipper and all the statements have been going wrong. He said that form is temporary and they are confident that he will be back. 
“This is also wrong that Rohit has insisted on captaincy. He is the captain. Form or lack of form is part and parcel of the game. These are phases, nothing new. When he saw he was out of form, he dropped himself from the fifth Test." 
Rohit Sharma has been going through a rough patch, but the batter has been training with the Mumbai Ranji Team. He will be next seen in action for India in the England ODI series.
