Big blow to BCCI's staff members ahead of England series as Indian Cricket Board decides to...
BCCI. (PIC - X)
New Delhi: The stage is set for the upcoming 5-match Test series between India and England. This high-voltage series will begin with the first match at Headingley on June 20. Both the teams as well as cricket fans are eager to enjoy the thrill. Before this series, BCCI had taken a big decision. Actually, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made changes in the daily allowances and travel policy for its employees. Under these changes, employees will now get a new daily allowance policy and some old allowances have been removed.
BCCI took this big decision:
BCCI has made significant changes in the daily allowances and travel policy for its employees. Under the old policy, employees used to get a daily allowance of Rs 15000 per day for short-term travel (up to four days) and Rs 10000 per day for long-term travel (such as related to IPL, WPL, or ICC events in India). Apart from this, a contingency allowance of Rs 7500 was also given. According to the new policy, the contingency allowance has been removed. Now employees will get a uniform daily allowance of Rs 10000 per day during travel. According to a BCCI source, the effective daily allowance after tax deduction will be around Rs 6,500 per day.
Dues will be paid soon:
Since the policy had to be changed, BCCI employees, including finance, operations and media departments, were not paid their daily allowances for IPL and WPL. However, now that the policy is ready, their dues will be paid soon. Regarding this, the source said, 'A clear policy was needed in the matter of allowances as some employees were claiming allowances despite working from Mumbai headquarters during the tournament. Now that the policy is ready, the dues will be paid soon.'
Allowance will be given according to travel!
IPL lasts for more than two months and ICC events also last for at least a month. In such a situation, if an employee is travelling for the entire 70 days for IPL, then he will be eligible to claim a total of Rs 7 lakh at the rate of Rs 10,000 per day. On the other hand, employees whose travel is limited during IPL will be eligible to claim only 60% of the 70-day allowance and employees who do not travel at all (such as those working in Mumbai headquarters) can claim only 40% of the 70-day allowance.
How much is paid for foreign travel?
Most BCCI employees are paid USD 300 per day for foreign tours. Honorary office bearers, including the president, secretary, treasurer, vice-president and joint secretary, receive a daily allowance of USD 1000 per day on foreign tours. Office bearers are paid Rs 40,000 for a one-day meeting within India and Rs 30,000 per day for a multi-day domestic work trip.

‘Key figure has Cyprus' citizenship': Congress claims SEBI's Adani probe hampered by lack of info sharing by tax-haven countries
The Congress on Monday claimed that a key figure in the Adani 'scam' has Cypriot citizenship, and said the ongoing SEBI investigations into transactions involving the conglomerate have been hampered by lack of sharing of financial information by tax-haven countries and 'lack of pressure' by India. The opposition party's assertions come amid the ongoing visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Cyprus. 'The Prime Minister is in Cyprus on his way to Canada. Of course, he would have us believe that it is a pure coincidence that a key figure in the Modani scam has Cypriot citizenship,' Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said. The Cyprus-based fund New Leaina has reportedly about USD 420 million in Adani companies, he claimed. 'The 'ultimate beneficial owners' of this fund are linked to Amicorp, which is believed to have set up at least seven Adani promoter entities, seventeen offshore shell companies linked to Mr. Vinod Adani, and three Mauritius-based offshore investors in Adani Group stock,' Ramesh said in his post on X. All these transactions are part of the ongoing SEBI investigations which have been hampered by lack of sharing of financial information by these and other tax-haven countries and lack of pressure by India, Ramesh alleged. There was no immediate reaction from the Adani Group on the claims but it has denied all such allegations made by the Congress and other entities. The Congress has been persistent in its attack on the government since the Adani Group stocks took a beating on the bourses in the wake of US-based short-selling firm Hindenburg Research making a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation, on the conglomerate headed by industrialist Gautam Adani. The Adani Group has dismissed all the charges made by the Congress and others as lies, saying it complies with all laws and disclosure requirements. Noting that Cyprus gained independence from British rule on Aug 16, 1960, Ramesh also said that in the 1950s, India spearheaded the international campaign for the full decolonisation of the island. In the context of today's geopolitics it is worthwhile to recall that India's championing of the independence of Cyprus in the 1950s and thereafter became a sore point in our bilateral relations with Turkey, he said.

Tata Motors Shares Fall 5% After JLR Sees Lower Margins For FY26; Key Points
Last Updated: Shares of Tata Motors Ltd., the leading manufacturer of passenger and commercial vehicles, declined by as much as 5% Shares of Tata Motors Ltd., the leading manufacturer of passenger and commercial vehicles, declined by as much as 5% on Monday, June 16, after its subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), issued a subdued outlook for the current financial year, falling short of last year's performance expectations. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the UK subsidiary of Tata Motors, has provided a muted outlook for FY26, forecasting an EBIT margin between 5% and 7%, a decline from the 8.5% margin it achieved in the previous fiscal year. In FY25, JLR generated a robust free cash flow of £1.5 billion. However, the company now expects that figure to fall 'close to zero" in the current financial year. Despite this short-term weakness, JLR management is optimistic about the medium term, aiming to improve free cash flow from FY27 onward and targeting a return to a 10% EBIT margin—though no specific timeline has been disclosed. JLR remains a critical driver of Tata Motors' financial performance, contributing 71% to the company's revenue and 80% of its overall profit in FY25. The average revenue per unit stood firm at over £70,000 on a year-on-year basis. On trade policy, JLR stated it continues to engage with the Trump Administration. The UK-US trade agreement is expected to reduce tariffs from 27.5%, though tariffs on imports from Slovakia remain unchanged. Following the subdued guidance, Tata Motors' shares dropped 4.6% on Monday to Rs 679.65, making it the biggest loser on the Nifty 50 and among the top decliners on the Nifty 500.

Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir told to drop Jasprit Bumrah from IND vs ENG 1st Test; ‘You've got to be very strategic'
After Sourav Ganguly, former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg urged the Indian team management to use Jasprit Bumrah 'strategically' during the upcoming five-match Test series against England, keeping his workload management in mind. There has been a lot of chatter recently regarding ho to use Bumrah against England. The recent chatter comes after the Indian premier pacer suffered a back injury in the fifth and final Test against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year and sit out of action for close to two months. In fact, he also missed India's triumphant Champions Trophy campaign. With just four days to go before the first Test in Headingly, Hogg want Bumrah to play definitely at Edgbaston (second Test) and Lord's (third Test) and miss the first game if needed. "You've got to be very strategic with those three Test matches," Hogg told RevSportz. 'Where are you going to get the most benefit out of him? Because he can turn the game, he can turn the series on its head. So you want to make sure that you play him at Lord's, definitely, and probably Warwickshire (Edgbaston).' 'And I don't know where you'd play him in the other three Test matches, but you want to make sure you play him in those crucial games. I probably wouldn't even play him in the first Test match, actually,' added the chinaman who played seven Tests, 123 ODIs and 15 T20Is for Australia, before urging India to play some mind games with England. "I'd just go, 'Right, England, we don't have Bumrah.' And you could just see England thinking, 'Oh, they don't have Bumrah – that's good, we don't have to face him.' But then they're going to start worrying about him in the second Test match. And if he turns the tide in the second match, then all of a sudden England are playing catch-up. So I'd add a bit of by-play there," stated Hogg. With the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin retiring from the longest format of the game recently, Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are two of the most senior players in the side. The England Test series also starts a new era under new captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir. Although Gambhir and BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar have made it clear that there is no expectations from Gill, the 25-year-old will certainly be under some kind of pressure, leading his country at the top level for the first time in his career. Previously, Gill had captained India against Zimbabwe in a T20I series back in 2024.
