BCCI urged by sports ministry to conduct elections under new act norms
The Sports Ministry would like the much-awaited BCCI elections in September to be conducted as per the National Sports Governance Act but the cricketing body can hold them under the Supreme Court-approved Lodha Committee recommendations if the new legislation's rules are not notified by that time, a sports ministry source said on Thursday. The ministry is aiming for the bill's full-fledged implementation in the next six months but intends to have the detailed guidelines and regulations for its execution notified much earlier. "Ideally the elections should be held as per the act but in case the rules are not notified in time, they may go ahead as per Lodha Committee recommendations," the source said. "Once the rules are notified, all NSFs, including the BCCI, will have to hold elections as per its norms," the source said. While the Lodha Committee recommendations caps the age of an office-bearer at 70, the new act allows those between in the bracket of 70-75 to contest elections if the byelaws and statutes of their international governing body allows for it. The ICC has no age cap in its provisions for office-bearers. BCCI President Roger Binny's tenure has ended as he has attained the age of 70. However, the Board has not announced an interim president so far. The elections are due in the last week of September when the Board holds its Annual General Meeting. No word on BFI elections The Boxing Federation of India held its elections amid a lingering court battle on constitutional amendments that prevented Anurag Thakur from fighting for the President's post. Neither the sports ministry, nor the Indian Olympic Association sent its observers despite the BFI interim committee's request. The ministry said it would adopt a wait and watch approach for now. "We have already told the delhi High Court that we do not think that the procedure followed in the conduct of these elections is right. We will wait now and see what the court says," the ministry source said. The High Court has set September 23 as the next date of hearing.

The bill seeks to ban real money gaming that has been deemed as a "serious social, financial, psychological and public health harm". "We have to protect youngsters who are getting addicted to this and wasting away time, and money," the source said. Will fix issues raised by Parliamentary committee The Parliamentary Standing Committee on sports has declared Sports Authority of India (SAI) "critically" under-funded and under-staffed and also raised concerns around the lack of fund utilisation in the government's flagship Khelo India Scheme. The ministry said their concerns would be addressed. "We would never call a report of this stature wrong. If there are shortcomings, they will be addressed," the source said.

England announce Women's World Cup squad; Heather Knight makes return
Former captain Heather Knight was on Thursday named in a 15-member England squad for the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup and the duo of Sarah Glenn and Danni Wyatt-Hodge also returned to the side after missing the recent series against India. Knight returns to the squad after having been on the sidelines for the last few months due to a tendon injury in her right hamstring. A press release issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board (RCB) said Knight has been named in the squad as she continues her comeback from injury and is hopeful of being fit in time for the tournament, which will be held from September 30 to November 2. Glenn is one of four specialist spinners in the squad and one of six players embarking on their maiden ODI World Cup, which will also be Nat Sciver-Brunt's first as captain in an ICC event. World No.1 ranked ODI batter Sciver-Brunt was appointed as the all-format skipper in April. Wyatt-Hodge also returns, having last featured for England in the 50-over format during their Ashes defeat in Australia, but Kate Cross, Maia Bouchier and Alice Davidson-Richards have been left out. The tournament is the country's first World Cup under new captain Sciver-Brunt and head coach Charlotte Edwards, with Australia returning as defending champions after they beat England in the 2022 final. "Being selected to play for your country in a World Cup is one of the biggest honours in sport and I'm delighted for all the players named in the squad," said Edwards. "Like all global tournaments, it will be a huge challenge but we want to go as far as we possibly can in India and I believe that if we play our best cricket we can compete with anyone. "Conditions mean we have gone for the extra spinner and we're lucky to be able to have such depth in this department, it's fantastic to welcome Sarah Glenn back. That does mean there's no room for Kate Cross, Maia Bouchier or Alice Davidson-Richards, which will be disappointing for them." The England coach added, "It's also great to have Danni back in the squad, she's been in good form in domestic cricket and she'll bring dynamism and depth to our batting, alongside Heather, who we are absolutely delighted to be able to select. She'll be a huge asset for us." Squad: Nat Sciver-Brunt (capt), Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt-Hodge.
