Pakistan's economy is in crisis. The impact of inflation is one evident. In addition to increasing unemployment, various types of unpleasant events are now being heard almost every day, so I do not think it will be possible to get a good coach for Pakistan team in the current situation. As far as I know, they are waiting for the loan to the IMF. As long as they get it, everyone is assuming that their situation will not be changed. The hostile condition of the global economy and the flood in Pakistan are creating a major crisis. As a result, they will not be able to overcome this situation very soon.

It's not all about economy and crisis Pakistan has never been ideal place for foreigners to go and do coaching job because if in next few months we have changes in government then surely things could be change and new management will quickly sack them just because of this many big names never try to have any role in this country for providing services because recently I was reading they contact with few big names, but all rejected their offer their board is having political influence, and they have never been having ideal sports environment which is also for the better results.

Too many allegations about selection and have parchi system is also common, so things are not ideal with now in coming days we have PSL2023 which is also had few issues with few players are already in teams even they have allegations of spot fixing and other issues as well which is never been good for the spirit of the game.

Ashwin's spot in the playing XI is in danger? Why would you think that?

He has 5 test tons and 449 wickets under his belt and singlehandedly won countless matches for India and its home series. Jaddu-Ashwin-Axar trio should be the first pick for the selectors and you could also throw kuldeep in the mix if by any chance Axar or Jaddu is out of form.

Here I am also feeling Ashwin could be their first choice for the test spot with Jaddu and Axar because he is still key player and can give good performance for team single-handedly with batting is plus point for him with his 5 test centuries and experience is also important.

But if team have any issue then surely they can drop anyone from Jaddu or Axar for having Kuldeep into team, but this all depends on pitch and match day what strategy they will adopt for having good results against Australia, touring party is also doing their homework, and surely they will give some surprises during match as they are famous for this all and their experience to play against Pakistan and Sri Lanka is surely going to help them even India is the toughest place for them in this series.

Ashwin is included in the squad this time, although I am not sure whether he will play or not. I have noticed somethign interesting. Touring spinners do have a good track record at Nagpur. but the problem for Australia is that they don't have any quality spin bowlers.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly gearing up to appoint Mickey Arthur as the 'online coach' of their senior men's national team. It has been reported that Arthur will be available on-site only for limited assignments while parallely working as the full-time coach for Derbyshire County Cricket Club. The decision from PCB has invited mixed reactions from fans while former captain Shahid Afridi also remains skeptical of Arthur's return, that too as an 'online coach'.

There is too much noise about this appointment because now things are going from bad to worse in Pakistan after change of Chairman they fail to hire any full time coach and now having services like this is surely creating more mess up with many former cricketers are also criticizing this decision from the Najam Sethi but right now taking anything about this is also not fair, but I'm personally feeling now Pakistan cricket is again going down for some years as we have few years back.

Shahid Afridi is also now have some concerns about few things but most chances no one can stop Najam Sethi from his experiments even in past he has good results but now how things will happen nothing is clear and overall Pakistan situation is also going to be more down with Peshawar Masjid Bomb attack.

In absence of Iyer, Shubman Gill is likely to bat in the middle order as he scored a ton in Bangladesh.

I guess the problem is who should be dropped from the team if some new guy comes in. Atm there are 2 nonperforming players at the Top 6 (KL Rahul and Virat), apart from them every one is scoring runs and management can't drop these 2 guys as the former is VC and the latter is undroppable.

I think Sarfraz should replace SKY in the squad but it's unfortunate that management backing SKY only because of his T-20 form.

Easwaran and Agarwal are both openers and we already have 3 openers in the team, 2 of them (Gill, Rohit) are in good form. I really like Agarwal but he's having a bad time with his form.

The first test between India and Australia will start next week, at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. This is the venue where India piled up a 600+ total against Sri Lanka back in 2017/18. Australia played against India here only once, and that was in 2008 (India won by 172 runs).

Out of the 5 bowlers who took 5-wicket test hauls in this stadium, four have been spinners (Jason Krejza in 2008, Ravichandran Ashwin two times in 2015 and Imran Tahir also in 2015). Dale Steyn is the only pacer to do so in Nagpur. Ashwin is included in the squad this time, although I am not sure whether he will play or not. I have noticed somethign interesting. Touring spinners do have a good track record at Nagpur. but the problem for Australia is that they don't have any quality spin bowlers.

India is at best time of thier game either its any format test, ODI and T20 . They were unbeaten most of the times ,now let's see how things will be with Australia as they are stronger like India and there is going to be a tough match between these two teams.

India VS Newzealand

The final T20 match which also the series decider will played today. Still hoping that Prithvi Shaw is given a chance in today's match. There no point in selecting him and not giving a chance to play. He has proven in the domestic cricket that he has the ability to score runs at a good striking rate. The pitch in Ahmedabad should be batter friendly otherwise this match too will become boring as the match in Lucknow.

This is not a topic for discussion about T20 matches. You posted this in the wrong topic only bumping this topic. Because there is a separate topic to talk about T20 matches you can go there to discuss about T20 in detail. But the post you made here is just considered spamming.

Regarding BGT.. Iyer is out from the 1st test due to a back injury, he's still in NCA. We are running out of in form middle-order batters, first Pant and now Iyer, arguably the best players of spin in modern cricket. Guess squad needs some changes now.

If Iyer is unable to play, then someone else will get the chance. Ranji Trophy championship is over-saturated with quality batsmen. But the selectors give little importance to those who perform there. We always hear analysts complaining about not selecting Sarfaraz Khan to the national team, but no one actually care about players such as Abhimanyu Easwaran and Mayank Agarwal. There is enough depth in the player pool within India. But the selectors need to stop taking instructions from the senior players, regarding team selection and do their job without any bias.

I was hinting toward ICC vs BCCI on the tax exemption dispute.

Recent reports suggest that for the upcoming ODI world cup, BCCI could lose close to 100 million dollars in taxes and last time they paid around 25 Million USD.

Ideally any funds received by the BCCI from ICC should be tax-free. Because most of the funds end up as salary for the players (both international and domestic) and these players are paying income tax of up to 43% for this amount. Now if the government taxes the amount at source, then it will amount to double taxation. As far as I know, none of the other countries tax funds from ICC. And in almost all the cases, revenues collected from ICC tournaments are tax-free as well. India is the only country that refuses to provide tax exemption. But in this case, the ICC can't do anything. They can't reimburse the taxes, as it will be unfair to the smaller boards.

If India was a rich country then it would be ideal to argue in favor of not taxing them but that's not the case. Australia and England can afford to give them free hand, rest of the cricketing world hardly matters in terms of revenue generation and given ICC's 80% of revenue comes from India only then it becomes a talking point for the Gov.

Quote from: Sithara007 on January 31, 2023, 10:48:04 PM

BTW, I am not hearing much about the ongoing media rights auction. After the sub-continent auction, ICC seems to have gone completely silent over it.

Quote from: JSRAW on January 28, 2023, 11:24:51 AM

SKY Sports (UK) sealed the media rights deal with the ICC for 8 years. Both parties are yet to disclose the final price and unofficial reports are that the Australian deal is also done for 4 years.

We should get some details soon, fingers are crossed for some spicy drama. Grin

Mickey Arthur set to become World Cricket’s first ONLINE COACH!

Story

LOL!

What is happening with Pakistani Cricket? Especially what is going through N Shethis's mind? An online cricket coach is not something I have heard in the past and neither I would like to hear in the present. Cricket is not an online classroom it is a physical brain where you need to use your body more than your mind. If this is the situation in Pakistan cricket then I doubt they will be able to organize PSL. If they do then I doubt they will be able to their payments. What a Shit Show PCB would be going to display when PSL starts can be easily imagined by their online viewers? Shocked

Nowadays everything is getting linked with the online. Whether it is sports, education or some other stuff. People too getting used to it. This doesn't look like a big thing after seeing a friend of mine getting training for boxing online. It is completely physical workout based and he does things according to the order from the trainer. Everywhere it is the need for money that push them to start these kind of stuffs.

So after online education we have online coaches for training kids for something that is totally physical , like what najam sethi had in mind .

Even things are not clear about this posting but still you are not understanding this rightly because Mickey Arthur is already busy with this contract as sporting head of Derbyshire, and he doesn't want to end this just because of this now he is not the coach of the Pakistan team his job is just as consultant, and they will hire few other peoples as well because Saqlain Mushtaq is already going after completing his assignment as Pakistan head coach, and he rejected to do job as his replacement.

But, few things are fascinating because after Covid-19 era things are completely changed around the globe, and we have mostly workout with online option which is not bad and hopefully soon we will have completely changes in this all system and mostly teams and clubs will be able to have services of online coaches and trainers which will increase their performance. For more details, you can check here all details available about this: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/mickey-arthur-set-to-be-appointed-pakistan-team-director-1356583

There is some confusion regarding the appointment of Mickey Arthur. He is not being appointed as the coach. Instead, he will be taking the position of team director. It is not possible for Arthur to take up a full-time coaching position with the PCB because he has a contract with Derbyshire right now. Arthur's term as the team director will start from April 1, 2023. Arthur will be dealing with members of the coaching staff (mostly Grant Bradburn and the other assistant coaches) through online mode. Anyway, Najam Sethi is creating a lot of noise after he replaced Rameez. Hopefully this step will work well for him.

I think the funding for all the associate nations is going to decrease because India is asking for almost 80%. And if that happens, I think ICC will have no option but to actually figure out which cricket boards are poor and actually need the money more.

Ha! hearing this first time.

No one in BCCI or their granny asked for 80% share at all, ever. According to records BCCI only get 18-22% (depending on taxes) from ICC funds and they contribute approx 70-80% of revenue, this could surpass in the upcoming cycle, once ICC discloses their media rights numbers.

Actually, I wanted to talk about BCCI making money, not taking money. I wanted to say that they make about 80% of the money. And so they are obviously probably going to ask for a bigger percentage (which is now 22.8% if I am not wrong) and that is going to mean less money for the associate nations. And I am not saying that India should not ask for that money. They are of course making ICC more revenue. So they should get more money in return for that as well.

What I really wanted to emphasize is that the ICC should really look into the situation of each cricket board and give them money accordingly.

But with that, there also comes a point where ICC might actually fail to realize or find out how much money a cricket board has. Because of course, there are corrupt officials and members everywhere.

For the 2015-23 cycle, total funds available with ICC, to be distributed to member nations was $1.774 billion. Out of that, BCCI received a share of $405 million, which amounts for 23%. There is no tax deduction, as the ICC is based in UAE (where there is no income or corporate tax).
