BCCI’s Lollipop to the IOC - Turning Cricket into a Global Sport

Cricket, a sport with a staggering fan base of 2.5 billion people worldwide (According to Sport Pledge) is making significant strides towards Olympic inclusion. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively pushing for cricket's inclusion in the Olympic Games, with the ambition to debut at the LA28 Games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by Jay Shah, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor. The Sportwiz explores the journey of cricket towards becoming a global sport, driven by the aspirations of the ICC and the strategic efforts of the BCCI.

Cricket has been making notable appearances in various multi-sport events, such as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Asian Games in 2010, 2014, and the upcoming 2023 edition in Hangzhou, Even this years African Games hosted in Ghana will consist of cricket where it will be played in the T20 format. These inclusions highlight the growing recognition and acceptance of cricket as a global sport.

The question arises: Does the Olympics need cricket, or does cricket need the Olympics? Cricket's immense popularity, with a fan base of 2.5 billion people and its status as the second most-watched sport globally, demonstrates the sport's strength and appeal. However, Olympic inclusion would provide an unparalleled platform for cricket to reach new audiences and further boost its global recognition.

The ICC's bid for Olympic inclusion emphasized the massive viewership cricket attracts. The 2022 T20 World Cup garnered a staggering 1.2 billion unique viewers globally. Additionally, the 2020 Women's World Cup saw 89 million viewers tuning in, showcasing the increasing popularity of women's cricket. These statistics exemplify cricket's potential as a major draw for broadcasters, sponsors, and fans alike.

India's significance as a cricket powerhouse cannot be overlooked. The country accounts for a substantial portion of cricket's global viewership, with 76% of the 113.5 million viewing hours recorded during major tournaments coming from India. The BCCI, backed by India's massive cricket market, has offered the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a chance to tap into this unique viewership, potentially elevating the Olympic Games' viewership in the Indian subcontinent.

The BCCI's main revenue stream, broadcasting rights, presents a compelling proposition for the IOC. Currently held by JIO and Viacom 18 for $31 million, these rights contribute to the ongoing profits of the Olympics. If cricket is included in the Olympics, the ICC estimates potential revenue of $130-260 million. These figures highlight the financial gains that could be achieved through cricket's Olympic participation.

The number $31 million USD is larger than the previous years in terms of Olympics in India but if we compare it to a similar number showcasing the money that’s involved in cricket, in the next financial cycle of the BCCI the Pakistan Cricket board ( PCB ) who hold a share of 5.75% is approximately valued at $34.5 million USD.

Cricket's economic value has witnessed a remarkable surge, as evidenced by the 300% increase in media rights value for ICC and IPL. The media rights for ICC and IPL soared from ₹16,347 crores to a staggering ₹48,390 crores. This exponential growth further solidifies cricket's position as a lucrative sporting asset.

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) now ranked as the second most valued sporting league globally, cricket's future looks promising. The IPL's substantial viewership of 380 million domestic TV viewers in the 2021 season and cumulative viewership of 383 billion minutes for the 2020 campaign across TV and digital platforms indicate cricket's enormous potential according to Jay Shah. As cricket continues to captivate audiences, its inclusion in the Olympics could propel the sport to new heights.

The bid to include cricket in the Olympics is anticipated to be decided in the final session of the IOC, scheduled to take place in Mumbai in October. Brisbane 2032 Olympics presents a realistic opportunity for cricket's inclusion, given Australia's cricketing heritage. Surprisingly, Los Angeles may also be a potential host, thanks to the approval of the bid by former Mayor Eric Garcetti, now the US Ambassador to India, fostering stronger relations between India and the USA.

Cricket's journey towards becoming a global sport is gaining momentum, with the ICC and BCCI leading the way. The sport's immense viewership, economic value, and potential for growth make it an attractive addition to the Olympic Games. As the IOC contemplates cricket's inclusion, the world awaits a decision that could redefine the sport and pave the way for a future where cricket becomes truly global.

[ad_1] Smriti Mandhana in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 (PC: ICC) Snehasis Mukherjee in Dubai Team India’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup campaign in the UAE had many problems. One of the biggest was the poor form of vice-captain Smriti Mandhana. Fans had high hopes for her, as she is considered to be the best batter in the squad. But she scored only 75 runs in four innings, at an average of 18.75 and a strike-rate of 94.93. Her only decent knock was a fifty. It was a tough campaign for the opener. Apart from her innings against Sri Lanka, she struggled in all other games. Before the tournament, India played two warm-up games. She failed in both, getting out to spinners. In the World Cup, she was dismissed by spinners three times and was run out once. Struggle against spinners Smriti’s struggle against spin, especially on slow, spin-friendly pitches, is a real concern. She is the kind of batter who likes the ball coming on the bat and that is known by now in world cricket. She looked unsure about the lines and lengths of the deliveries that got her out. There were no clear foot movements, and she got stuck in the crease, failing to use its depth to her advantage. In contrast, New Zealand’s Sophie Devine showed positive intent against India, using her feet and coming down the track. Smriti can take a cue from that approach. Even the Australian batters, on the tricky, spin-friendly Sharjah pitch, handled India’s spinners well and scored 150-plus. In her T20I career so far, Smriti has been dismissed 57 times by spinners and 60 times by pacers. But in the last two years, she has been dismissed 24 times by the spinners and only 11 times by the pacers in a total of 36 innings. Lack of intent Smriti also needs to work on her intent. Her quality as a batter is undeniable, but as an opener in T20s, more intensity is needed. In the shortest format, it is important to give a brisk start, and while Shafali Verma often plays the attacking role, that does not mean Smriti should not be aggressive. For instance, in the game against Australia, Shafali played a quick cameo before getting out. When Jemimah Rodrigues joined her, fans expected Smriti to take charge, as she was already settled. However, she did not show much intent, focusing more on taking singles and twos rather than pushing for boundaries or taking control of the game. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Smriti Mandhana in WC 2024 (Source: EspnCricinfo) Strike rotation and strike rate The 28-year-old finished the tournament with a strike-rate of less than 100, which is simply unacceptable. This year, she has scored 570 runs in 18 T20I innings at a strike-rate of 118.25 — slightly better than last year’s 116.39. However, from 2020 to 2022, her strike rate was consistently above 130. One of her biggest issues has been playing too many dot balls early in her innings, especially during Powerplay overs. She has struggled to find gaps against spinners, making it difficult to rotate the strike regularly. Before the Sri Lanka game, Smriti admitted in a press conference that she was frustrated with her performance against Pakistan, particularly for playing so many dot balls, which led to a rash shot and her dismissal. Not turning up on big occasions Despite averaging 38.00 this year in T20Is, she has faltered when it mattered most. In recent key matches like the Commonwealth Games final, last year’s World Cup semi-final against Australia, and now against both New Zealand and Australia, she failed to deliver. Her only fifty came against Sri Lanka, a team that lost all their matches. Even in the Asia Cup final, her fifty against Sri Lanka was in a losing cause. As India’s best batter, her failure to perform in big games is frustrating for fans who expect her to shine. Many die-hard fans travelled from India to watch her in action in the UAE. Smriti’s performances proved to be a let-down. The recurring pattern is a cause of concern. After this disappointing World Cup campaign, India’s captaincy

could be on the line, with a possibility that Smriti might take over from Harmanpreet Kaur. But is this the right time? A captain needs to lead from the front, performing consistently to inspire the team. It requires not only skill but also responsibility, hard work and courage. The question is whether Smriti is ready for such a role. As a batter, she first needs to address her own struggles and work on them quickly before the opportunity slips away.

Australia Looks to Cement Dominance in Women's T20 World Cup

Australia are heavy favorites to win their seventh title at the women's T20 World Cup, which begins on Thursday and marks their first tournament entry since four-time tournament winner Meg Lanning quit. Alyssa Healy, the new captain, will face a test in the UAE, managing a team that has only won the 20-over trophy twice since the competition began in 2009. The 34-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has been a part of Australia's previous six title victories, but she admits she is going into this year's event with "no real expectations".

"It's the best vs the best, and whoever can be the most consistent or win those small moments along the way will win," Healy wrote in a blog for the International Cricket Council's website.

Still, she stated that her team was loaded with fresh talent, identifying up-and-coming all-rounder Annabel Sutherland, 22, and batting sensation Phoebe Litchfield, 21, as players to watch.

Australia faces formidable rivals India and New Zealand. They arrive in the UAE after defeating New Zealand 3-0 in T20 cricket.

Since the 20-over competition's inception last year, India's hopes have been boosted by the Women's Premier League's resounding domestic success.

"When I talk about this team, we have a few individuals who have been playing for a long time and know their roles well," skipper Harmanpreet Kaur stated.

"This is the best team we are bringing for a T20 World Cup with."

India finished second in 2020 and fell in the semifinals in 2018 and 2023.

Sophie Devine of New Zealand will stand down as captain at the end of the competition, having competed in every World Cup and finished second twice.

"The T20 World Cup's become an important vehicle in the rise and growth of the women's game," Devine told the gathering.

Sri Lanka and Pakistan complete the first group, while Bangladesh, England, Scotland, South Africa, and the West Indies form the second.

'Breaking the barriers'

The South Africans, who fell to Australia in last year's final in Cape Town, have a new captain in Laura Wolvaardt, who is eager to improve on their performance.

"Reaching our first-ever World Cup final in 2023 was a significant milestone for us," she wrote on the ICC website.

Surprisingly, the Proteas beat England in the semi-finals.

"It was a significant 'breaking down limitations and breaking the bounds' event for the squad.

"Before that, we'd made the semi-finals on several occasions, so to go that one step further was very important for us as a group.

"Now our goal is to go that one step higher to lift the trophy." 

Heather Knight's seasoned England team, which includes Nat Sciver-Brunt, Alice Capsey, Sophie Ecclestone, and Lauren Bell, will be out for retribution when they face the Proteas on October 7.

Bangladesh faces Scotland at Sharjah in the opening match of the tournament, where the prize money is for the first time equal to the men's edition with a $2.34 million The purse for the winners of the October 20 finals.

That's a 134% rise from the $1 million granted to the Australians when they won the title in South Africa last year.

The ICC stated that the change was aimed to "prioritize the women's game and accelerate its growth."

Bangladesh was slated to host the tournament but it was shifted to Dubai and Sharjah after weeks of political unrest in July and August ousted the government of autocratic ex-premier Sheikh Hasina.

Choosing the best experts and supporting them - D. Managing the financial aspects of BCCI Answer: C. Choosing the best experts and supporting them [ad_2] What would you consider some of your achievements at BCCI? As BCCI secretary, one of my main achievements was strengthening the National Cricket Academy by investing over Rs 250 crore. Holding the 2020 IPL in UAE during the pandemic was also a significant achievement. We demonstrated what BCCI could achieve by creating an isolation bubble for the tournament. Additionally, changing the IPL broadcasting bidding process and increasing revenue through ICC were key accomplishments. To me, one of your greatest achievements is your encouragement to women's cricket. When I initiated the Women's Premier League (WPL), it was met with some resistance. By highlighting that 51% of IPL viewership was female, we were able to draw attention to the importance of women's cricket. Pay parity was also introduced to encourage female participation. These efforts have had a positive impact on women's cricket, as evidenced by the ICC's decision to announce pay parity in prize money for the Women's World Cup. What's next for Indian cricket? Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the Indian men's cricket team's performance in the upcoming T20 World Cup. With a good balance between form and experience, I believe the squad has the potential to win the tournament. How do you see the current form of the T20 team? The current T20 team is well-balanced in terms of both form and experience. While IPL performance is important, overseas experience is also a critical factor in the selection process according to the selectors.

Which teams, according to you, will be strong contenders at the T20 World Cup? India, Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies are considered strong contenders for the T20 World Cup due to their prowess in the T20 format. It is the second time that India is ranked No. 1 in all three formats (Tests, ODI, and T20I). What is your role in this achievement? As BCCI secretary, my role is to choose the best experts and support them in their cricketing decisions. By appointing individuals like VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid to key positions, I am able to ensure that the team is guided by knowledgeable individuals who can drive success. How do you divide responsibilities between Roger Binny (BCCI president) and yourself? While Roger Binny oversees cricketing decisions, I focus on administration and finance matters within BCCI. Collaboration is key, and we work together transparently to ensure all aspects of the organization run smoothly. How does BCCI spot talent? It has done some great work in bringing to the fore talents like Yashaswi Jaiswal. BCCI empowers state associations to identify and nurture talent through guidelines and infrastructure support. Talents like Yashaswi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh were identified as potential prospects and trained at the National Cricket Academy. With a pool of 50 players, BCCI ensures readiness for bilateral cricket with various countries. I am sure you have heard the criticism of the impact player rule in the IPL this year. The impact player rule in the IPL is viewed as a test case, with consultations ongoing with players, franchisees, and stakeholders. The rule aims to make matches more interesting and provide more opportunities for Indian players. Feedback from consultations will guide any necessary changes to the rule. How about the batting-friendly pitches in IPL? Even Sunil Gavaskar commented they are too one-sided. In response to concerns about batting-friendly pitches in the IPL, it is noted that pitches are managed transparently by BCCI's central curator. While some matches may showcase high-scoring games, the overall quality of pitches is maintained to ensure fair competition. Is there any other innovation you have introduced for the IPL? New innovations in the IPL, such as the 'smart' replay feature for umpiring decisions and the introduction of fast bowling insurance clauses in player contracts, have improved the efficiency and player welfare in the tournament. Mega auctions, transparent bidding processes, and revenue distribution strategies have also been introduced to enhance the league experience. What do you do with all the money BCCI gets? The majority of BCCI's revenues are invested in state associations to improve infrastructure, grassroots programs, and player development across the country. Media rights, sponsorships, and franchise fees contribute to the revenue stream, with a significant portion allocated to player payments, infrastructure development, and grassroots cricket initiatives. Do you enjoy other sports too? Tennis and football are also sports of interest to me. Rafa Nadal is my favorite tennis player, particularly on clay courts. Who are your three favorite cricket icons of all time? Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni are among my favorite cricket icons of all time. From the current players, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya also earn my admiration. Which is your favorite IPL team? As BCCI secretary, maintaining neutrality is essential. I appreciate all IPL teams for their unique styles and contributions to the league's success. Your favorite cricket stadium? The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad holds a special place as my favorite cricket stadium. Its size and facilities, along with the short construction timeline, make it an impressive venue. What is your management mantra? My management mantra revolves around placing the right individuals in cricketing roles and ensuring financial transparency. Inspired by Swami Vivekananda's

words, 'Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is achieved', I strive for excellence in leadership and decision-making.

From Pakistan to the IPL: Mohammed Amir's British Passport Opens New Doors in 2024

Pakistani cricketer Mohammed Amir is planning to get into the ring in next year’s IPL. Mohammed is expecting his chance in the cash-rich league in the IPL 2024.

According to the latest cricket news, the super-talented cricketer is waiting for his British Passport to get a chance to perform in the IPL 2024. He already shifted to England in 2020, but the legal passport of Britain's originality will come in 2024. However, India will also give full freedom to the Pakistani cricketer to showcase his talent in the international league. Visit finenews247 for IPL news updates.

Mohammad Amir is a former Pakistani cricketer who is known for his left-arm fast bowling. Born on April 13, 1992, in Gujjar Khan, Pakistan, Amir had a promising start to his cricket career.

Amir burst onto the international scene as a teenager and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional talent and skill. He played his first game for the Pakistan team at the age of 17. Amir's ability to generate pace, swing the ball both ways and bowl with accuracy made him a formidable bowler.

Amir's career, however, underwent a big change in 2010 when he and two other Pakistani cricketers were implicated in a controversy involving spot-fixing during Pakistan's tour of England. Amir admitted to deliberately bowling no-balls for money and was subsequently banned from all forms of cricket for five years. He also faced legal consequences and served a prison sentence.

After being caught out by the Pakistan team, Amir made his comeback to international cricket in 2016. He returned to the Pakistan team and played in all three formats. Despite some early success, Amir's form and impact were not consistently at the same level as before the ban.

At the age of 28, Amir retired from International cricket. He cited issues with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the team management as the reasons behind his decision.

Mohammad Amir's cricket career had its highs and lows, marked by early success, the spot-fixing controversy, and a mixed performance post-ban. His talent and skills as a left-arm fast bowler made him a notable player during his active years in international cricket.

Bazball unpacked: how England have turned up the dial in Test cricket | Ashes 2023

England's remarkable 74-run victory against Pakistan in Rawalpindi last December is one of their most memorable matches. In retrospect, we can speculate on England's strategic plan for the game. It likely involved acknowledging the flat pitch and the need to bowl at least 250 overs to dismiss Pakistan twice. Considering the shorter winter days, they anticipated around 400 overs in the match. England couldn't bat for more than 150 overs across both innings. Assuming Pakistan would score at their average run rate of 3.5 runs per over, they would end up with approximately 875 runs. Consequently, England set their target at 900 runs within 150 overs. The result? England scored a remarkable 921 runs in just 136.5 overs, at an impressive run-rate of 6.73, and bowled Pakistan out for 579 and 268 in a total of 252 overs. England secured the victory with about 20 minutes of daylight remaining. This approach perfectly exemplifies the Bazball philosophy, buying time for the bowlers, especially in Rawalpindi, where Australia's visit nine months prior had resulted in only 24 wickets and a soporific draw across three innings. The England team's win over Pakistan in fading light at Rawalpindi perfectly encapsulates their Bazball approach. Photograph: Anjum Naveed/AP How unique is England's batting approach? Apart from that particular match, only one other team has managed to score 500-plus runs in a Test match at a run rate of six or more per over, and that team is also England, in their match against Ireland at Lord's earlier this month. Since the leadership of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, England's overall run rate has been an impressive 4.85 runs per over. When considering the best run rates achieved by Test cricket captains (considering Stokes' captaincy in the one-off Test match in 2020, which slightly lowers his average by 0.2), England's team stands significantly ahead of the rest. Even Steve Waugh's dominant Australian team from the turn of the century, which aimed to score at four runs per over, couldn't quite achieve England's level of aggression. While McCullum himself ranks 10th overall in the table above, during his last 12 Tests as captain, New Zealand's run rate averaged 3.89 runs per over, placing him in second position. This transformation occurred after the third Test against Pakistan in Sharjah in 2014, coinciding with the tragic death of Australia's Phillip Hughes and profoundly impacted McCullum's mindset. What are the implications of this rapid run rate? Throughout Test cricket, teams have traditionally batted for extended periods to accumulate enough runs to secure victory. In almost three-quarters of Test wins, the victors have batted for at least 140 overs. However, under the Bazball approach, England has won 11 out of 13 Tests, with only one instance where they required a significant amount of time in the middle – the 178.2 overs they batted against New Zealand at Trent Bridge last year. Their success rate in winning Test matches while facing fewer than 140 overs is unparalleled. Does this strategy work in fourth-inning chases? So far, the results have been excellent. The Baseball era began with England becoming the first team to chase 250 or more runs in four consecutive Tests successfully. It's no wonder Stokes has opted to bowl first whenever he has won the toss at home and consistently uses phrases like "we'll chase" during the toss. The only instance in this period where England was set a target between 250 and 400 was against New Zealand at Wellington, where they narrowly lost by one run, resulting in an 80% success rate in that range. From 1877 until the end of 2020, 549 targets between 250 and 400 were set in Test cricket, with only 10.92% (60 matches) won by the chasing team. Comparing this to the Bazball era reveals a stark contrast. Are there any other notable aspects of their approach? Declaring the first innings in a Test match is a relatively rare occurrence and typically happens after a team has made a substantial score and batted for a long duration (such as 550 runs for six wickets in 170 overs). However, in his relatively short time as captain, Stokes has already declared England's first innings on four occasions, with the longest declaration after 106.4 overs. Regarding first innings declared before the 110-over mark, Stokes ranks second on the all-time list, achieving in far fewer Tests than his predecessors. The batting approach of the entire England team has fully embraced the Bazball strategy. All six of their top-seven batters, who have played at least 10 Test innings before and during the Bazball era, have increased their strike rates under the current regime, with most experiencing significant improvements. But what about the bowlers? Stokes has emphasized the importance of taking 20 wickets as quickly as possible, regardless of the runs conceded, and this objective has been consistently met. During this period, Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad, England's leading wicket-takers, claimed 45 wickets in the Baseball era (as has Jack Leach). Their performance provides ample data for analysis. When comparing their combined numbers under previous England captains to their performance under the more attacking Bazball approach, it becomes evident that they are taking wickets at a rate of one every 7.1 overs, even while conceding more runs per over than before. Notably, this represents a reduction of nearly two overs per wicket. Was England the first to adopt this style of play? Not exactly. The presence of Clem Hill's Australian team might surprise some, but the period between 1890 and 1914 was rightfully termed the "golden age of cricket." Although exact ball-by-ball data is not always available, it is clear that quick scoring became a trend during this era. Victor Trumper, Australia's renowned batsman under Hill's captaincy, is estimated to have scored at a strike rate of 67.1 in Test cricket, placing him 12th among the fastest scorers in Tests, as calculated by Charles Davis. For reference, Viv Richards ranks 11th with a strike rate of 69.0. The nonpareil of the golden era hitters was a name that has recently resurfaced: Gilbert Jessop, known as "The Croucher." His fastest century off 76 balls for England against Australia at the Oval in 1902 has been closely approached under the Bazball approach, particularly by Harry Brook. Brook's 26,698 first-class runs were most likely scored at a rate exceeding one run per ball. Most of his 53 first-class hundreds were scored at a strike rate quicker than one run per minute. The increased scoring rates during the golden era are reminiscent of the prototype Baseball. Before this era, scoring rates in first-class cricket averaged less than 2.5 runs per over, but by the 1910s, it had jumped to 3.11. Subsequently, the rates dropped below three after World War I and only exceeded 3.11 again in the 21st century, after 40 years of limited-overs cricket at the professional level. What about the modern era? A notable example, while not a formal version of Bazball, can be seen between November 2009 and July 2011 when India held the No. 1 ranking in Test cricket. During this period, they won 11 out of 21 Tests and lost only three. India comes closest to England, rather than the dominant Australian team, due to their bowlers. While Australia had Glenn McGrath (with a Test bowling average of 21.64) and Shane Warne (25.41), India's leading bowlers during this period were Zaheer Khan (32.94) and Harbhajan Singh (32.46). India didn't win Tests by bowling out the opposition cheaply, as the opposition reached 300 runs in 18 of their 39 bowling innings. Instead, India achieved victories by scoring big runs rapidly, providing their bowlers ample time to dismiss the opposition. Out of India's 15 totals above 400, seven were scored at a run rate of over four runs per over, while the remaining totals comfortably exceeded three runs per over. Although India's batting lineup included greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman, it was Virender Sehwag and his ability to score double centuries at a run-a-ball pace that truly embodied the Baseball spirit. Sehwag's 8,586 Test runs were scored at a strike rate of 82.23, making him the quickest to reach that milestone among players with at least 2,000 runs. So, what does this mean for the upcoming Ashes series? Australia's frontline bowlers currently concede an average of 2.94 runs per over, with Scott Boland being the most economical (2.31) and Mitchell Starc the most expensive (3.32). Among the 26 bowlers who have bowled 20 or more overs to England during the Bazball period, only South Africa's Lungi Ngidi (2.93) has maintained an economy rate below three runs per over, while 17 bowlers have been taken for more than four runs per over. The clash between England's irresistible run rate of 4.85 and Australia's relatively immovable economy rate of 2.94 will be the focal point of the Ashes series. Source: b loghere.com.

Asia Cup is in danger because of Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh is not keen to take part in the UAE

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, is being considered as an alternative venue for the championship, but the PCB appears to be hesitant to be a part of the competition if their demands aren’t met. © Getty

While things appear to be more settled regarding things to come with the World Cup in India, the future of the Asia Cup in Pakistan looks very uncertain. The recent disturbances, which came following the arrest of the former Premier Imran Khan may have caused more problems and the source of this can be traced to the hybrid strategy that has been proposed to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) suggested in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

According to Cricbuzz, the PCB, the favored host, wants to hold the Asia Cup in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, with the various Indian cricket teams traveling to each location. However, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) weren’t in agreement to play the games in the UAE due to the heat of September in the UAE.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, is emerging as an alternative venue for the championships continental, however, the PCB is hesitant to be a part of the event if their demands are not fulfilled. The organization has indicated that it would withdraw in the event that the tournament is relocated. It is believed that the SLC as well as the BCB have both cited the heat as one of the reasons in September as a reason for their refusal to participate in tournaments held within the UAE however the PCB is believed to have claimed that a couple of tournaments were played in the past in September. At a meeting with BCB as well as SLC officials, PCB director Najam Sethi who was in Dubai in the past few days, mentioned that there was a fifty-over Asia Cup held in the year 2018 from September 15 until 28. For this, the BCCI was chosen as the host.

He also said that in 2022, while the SLC was hosting the event for the Asia Cup, there was an Asia Cup in the Twenty20 format that was played from August 27 until September 11. He further mentioned as evidence that the IPL was played from September through November of 2020, in the country of the desert. In addition, the PCB was believed to be the one who pushed for the hybrid model between Pakistan and UAE but if it fails, it would remove.

It’s a fact that a lot of Indian cricketers complained about the heat in the 50-over Asia Cup, which had to start at lunchtime when it is typically considered extremely humid in UAE. Other events included the Twenty20 championships that could start in the evenings.

The Board of Control of Cricket in India [BCCI], which has its administrator Jay Shah helping as the head of the ACC has not reacted to it. There is no decision taken, but from the look evidence, it appears that the event appears to be in peril.
