BCCI Announces Annual Player retainer ship 2022-23

You can read the names and the annual packages here.

What surprised me is that many players on that list have not played any cricket but still get retained. If you want to pay players then pay on the basis of their performance and not on the basis of their celebrity status.

For example - Japsrit Bhumrah has been out of any form of cricket for quite some time but he still gets retained on grade A+. The same is for Rishabh Pant he is in grade A and most probably he won't be playing any form of cricket for the next year or two minimum. Whereas KL Rahul got downgraded for his pathetic performance to grade B. Doesn't it look like favoritism to you guys?
Maybe management thinks that Bumrah and Pant are MVP players for India and they are not wrong in their assessment if we look at their performances. So backing them atm makes sense despite they are out of the action.

KL Rahul being downgraded is actually quite good, if you are not performing then it's bound to happen (Dropped from T-20, Tests and lost the VC).

United Arab Emirates lost 7 wickets while playing the entire 50 overs. Now Papua came to bat.  New Guinea scored 163 runs in 24 overs and lost 4 wickets.Papua New Guinea team now need 98 runs to win.
UAE give a good decent target to PNG of 260 runs , Muhammad wasim again played an exceptional innings
 PNG is batting and have lost 5 wickets on 170 runs , still they can win the match if they don't lose more wickets as runrate is under control.

UAE will play against PNG in today's ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off match. Compared to PNG, the UAE team is quite strong. The UAE team has several talented players. Their batting line-up is stronger than PNG's. But their performance is erratic. In the last match, the UAE team scored 310 runs against Nepal, but still, they could not win the match. But PNG is not a strong team. If the batsmen of UAE do not bat very badly, then there is no possibility of UAE losing this match. And I think the UAE team will be able to top the points table.
UAE just score 260 in 50th overs with a two of thier player almost score century, at this moment we taught that it's a easy win for United Arab Emirates but unfortunately it's not because Papua New Guinea opener are on fire they hit big short from first ball and due to that reason they score 109 in 15th over with a current runrate of 7.27 which were they too high from required run rate, while interesting thing is that they don't even lose a single wicket against UAE, which indicates that PNG will do everything to win this match.
Now the required runs is around 150 runs in 35th overs

I didn't think UAE would get to the 260 that they got. Especially after them losing wickets early. But it was of course a great performance from them to actually get to the 260 that they have got. I am actually a little surprised to see Papua New Guinea play so well in the second innings. They have already got 168 at the loss of five wickets. And only 28.1 overs have been played. They need less than 4 runs per over now. With 5 wickets in hand that is very much achievable, I think.

UAE mustered only 110 runs in 25 overs. They lost 5 wickets. The team is not playing well. Their batsmen have lost form. And if UAE gives a target of less than 200 today, their chances of winning are slim. However, the PNG team is weak. It is not possible to predict the performance of this team. Even then, UAE needs to collect 200 runs today if they want to stay in the safe zone.
Now its 150/5. And the Current Run Rate of the UAE team is 5.00 and from UAE team Muhammad Waseem is really playing well. He is just near to his century. He made 82 runs for 84 balls. And still on the pitch. And I hope he will make his century soon.  And now the bowling of the UAE team will matter more. If bowlers bowl well so the UAE team can win. By the way at this time prediction is little difficult.

Aayan Afzal Khan's responsible batting allowed UAE to collect 260 runs in 50 overs. It was unimaginable that UAE could collect 260 runs after losing only 89 runs and 5 wickets. Aayan Afzal Khan scored 94 runs off 94 balls. UAE opener Muhammad Washeem also scored 96 runs. After scoring 260 runs against PNG I don't see any possibility of UAE defeat. PNG's batting lineup is weak. If the target was less than 200 then maybe PNG would have been able to win. UAE will not face any problems to win this match.

There are two ODIs going on at the moment as part of ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off. Canada is playing with Jersey (until now to my knowledge Jersey is a state in USA). After winning the toss Jersey decided to bowl fast and in 28th over half of Canada team is back to pavilion with just 128 runs on the board. Jersey will have a bright chance to win this game if they can limit Canada under 200.
PNG once again on top against UAE as Chad Soper has picked 4 Wickets. PNG was last in recent ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 but there performance against UAE was impressive.

In the Canada vs Jersey match, I consider Canada as the favorite. Because even though Team Canada is weak now, this country has long been associated with cricket. Canada collects 145/5 in 33 overs. I can't call it a bad collection. I have no idea about the performance of the jersey. However, I expect Canada to win this match.

Favoritism has been part of Indian cricket. I am not sure how the grading of players is done by BCCI but I do can see certain players on the list that have been chosen just because of their past records and contribution to Indian cricket. This might be another reason why many players tend to not retire. One thing I understood is that if someone gets into that list then we can assume they would be there for quite some time regardless of their performance.

Actually, Sri Lanka played well while they were bowling. It was a good performance from them to get the New Zealand batting team all out before the 50 overs. But after that when they came into chasing, they had an absolutely horrible time. Now I'm just going to say the best score by a Sri Lankan player in this match, it is 18. And there are four extra runs in the 76 that Sri Lanka was able to score. Now Sri Lanka will have to win the next one.
In what way do you think Srilanka played well against NZ? Just look at the scorecard of Srilanka. The captain himself scores a duck and Mendis the wicket-keeper and the batter after the openers. If we check the balling stats then every baller had an economy of 4 and more. In ODI a target of 250+ is always not easy to chase. I am not sure what Srilanka would do in the next ODI. I hope they do not repeat the same performance.
Sri Lanka's performance is not acceptable in any way. They have not done well in any of the matches on this tour of New Zealand. But they had a good score in the first test match but they had to lose. After the first test match I haven't seen any good performance from them. I thought they would do well in the ODI matches but they lost big in the first match. I have doubt about the next matches whether they will be able to return to their form or not.

@elevates,,

Bruh! I said Sri Lanka performed well in bowling. Actually it was not good performance.
It was more like decent. But if we talk about the bowling of Sri Lanka, it was absolutely horrible.

Anyway after the first innings, I thought Sri Lanka did well to get New Zealand all out.
But of course that performance was not going to matter because Sri Lanka was about to throw it away.

Sri Lanka's team has weakened since the retirement of star players like Sangakkara and Malinga. They cannot find a suitable replacement. And yet their group is not stable. The team has several talented players. But no player's performance is stable. This is why they play well in one match and lose badly in the next match. We have seen Sri Lanka perform like this for the last few years. And it is unlikely that Sri Lanka's performance will improve any time soon.

This is the terrible performance of the Sri Lanka Cricket teams. Only three batters were able to score double-figure runs. Sri Lankan Captain Dasun Shanaka scored a golden duck, while Kushal Medis scored zero runs. Henry Shipley from the New Zealand side took five wickets in seven overs only. Daryl Mitchell and Blair Tickner both took two wickets each. Overall an excellent performance from New Zealand bowlers.

Sri Lanka must work hard if they want to win the next match. Meanwhile, losing by such a margin that he will have to work hard to make up for it in the next match.  Kushal Mendes couldn't field players like them that day as New Zealanders attacked them with the fast bowlers.  Meanwhile, Sri Lanka showed a good performance in the field of bowling but could not show such a good performance in the field of batting. So if they want to win in the next match, they must give a strong reply.

A clean win indeed! Zimbabwe has registered a clean win in the last and final ODI against Netherlands. Although the first two ODIs were very close, Zimbabwe managed a comfortable victory in the last ODIs. Sean Williams was the standout performer, delivering excellent performances with both bat and ball, ultimately leading his team to victory. Zimbabwe has won the three-match ODI series against Netherlands by a margin of 2-1.

Netherlands missed a big opportunity in last ODI to win the series. In last ODI Zimbabwe came well prepared. They restricted Netherlands to 231 in 50 overs and then easily chased the target in 42 over. This series is clear indication of the fact that Zimbabwe performance is very much like that of an associate team.

Srilanka also collapsed badly yesterday in front of NZ bowling despite knowing that need wins to qualify for the upcoming ODI worldcup. Sri Lanka were not reading what Henry Shipley was bowling. 5 wickets feat for Henry Shipley in his 4th ODI.

Netherlands batting needs to be more experienced.  Because it is never possible to win a match by such few runs in an ODI match. No matter how weak a team is in ODI matches if they are careful with wickets then they can definitely win. To win an ODI match, you must score 300 plus runs. Meanwhile, Netherlands ended the over with only 235 runs and was the last wicket in terms of wickets.  As this is the longest game of fifty overs, every player must be careful not to keep pressure on the wicket. The team won by just three wickets and Zimbabwe is very strong in terms of bowlers.

Namibia vs USA

Today is the match between these two teams. Which will start in 2hours. If we take a look on both teams last five matches. So we will see that the Namibia is little weak in its performance. Namibia lost 4 matches out of 5 matches. On the other hand if we see the USA performance so USA won 3 matches out of 5 matches.
In November 2022 these two teams play the last match and in this match Namibia won the match by 6 wickets. Now after 4 months we will see many changing and also performance.
ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023 is just 1 hour away from the start of the first match. In the first match will be Namibia vs United States. A total of 6 teams are participating in the Play-off. Namibia, United States, United Arab Emirates, Papua New Guinea and Jersey. The World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023 will continue from today to 5 April. The matches will be held at the Namibian venue. Although Namibia's performance is poor, they will try to recover in this session.
It is very difficult to make predictions about these matches. All the teams here are weak and their performances are erratic. But the team has several talented players in every team. Namibia won the toss and took the fielding decision in today's match. USA collected 89 runs in 22 overs. They lost four wickets. If the USA manages to collect 200 runs then they will be able to control the match. Giving up a target of less than 200 will make it difficult for the USA to win this match.

The USA managed to collect 165 runs after losing 7 wickets in 39 overs. It's not a bad collection. Gajanand Singh has managed to collect maximum of 53 runs. Aaron Jones also scored 36 and Jessy Singh remained unbeaten on 26 off 51 balls. If they stay at the crease, it will not be difficult for the USA to give a target of more than 200 runs. But since they lost 7 wickets I don't think USA's innings will be too long if Jessy Singh returns to the dressing room.
USA managed to collect good runs and give a decent run chase to Namibia,  they have given 239 runs in 50 overs .
Now Namibia has already lost 2 wickets on 9 runs which is a bad start by Namibia.
If Ali Khan keep on taking wickets like this USA is going to win this Qualifier.
