Ahead of India Tour Of England, BCCI requests ECB for...
In this collection of pictures we shall know the what the The Board of Control for Cricket in India requested to England and Wales Cricket Board. Let's dive in.
The England and Wales Cricket Board's decision to retire the Pataudi Trophy and rename the England vs India five-match Test series as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy has received mixed reactions.
According to The Indian Express, to keep the legacy of former India captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi alive, the BCCI has now requested the ECB to name one of its awards for individual performance in a Test series after Pataudi. The board has said that it has no role in renaming the trophy.
Let us tell you that the ECB has decided to discontinue the Pataudi Trophy this year. Instead, it has announced the launch of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in line with the modern trend of naming the series after former players. Recently, the ECB, in collaboration with Cricket West Indies, has renamed the Wisden Trophy, established in 1963, as the Richards-Botham Trophy from 2020, which is played between the two teams in honor of two great players Viv Richards and Ian Botham.
At present, the bilateral series between England and New Zealand is held for the Crowe-Thorpe Trophy which is named after Martin Crowe and Graham Thorpe. The practice of naming bilateral series after players has been going on for a long time. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been played between India and Australia since 1996. This is a very prestigious trophy. In such a situation, the decision to change the name of the Pataudi Trophy also seems to have been taken on the same lines.
At the same time, quoting The Indian Express, the BCCI official said that, ECB decides who they want to name their series after. BCCI has no role in this as it is their domestic series. We have requested them to name one of the post-match trophies after Pataudi and they will respond to us.
It is worth noting that, earlier this year, the ECB had decided to remove Pataudi's name without giving any official reason. However, they had informed Tiger Pataudi's son and famous actor Saif Ali Khan about this in April this year. The five-match Test series between India and England will start from June 20 at Headingley in Leeds.

Tendulkar Requests 'Pataudi Legacy' To Be Continued In India-England Tests: Report
Last Updated: Sachin Tendulkar has urged BCCI and ECB to retain the Pataudi legacy in the India vs England Test series, opposing plans to rename it the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has spoken to BCCI and the England Cricket Board officials to continue with the Pataudi legacy in the upcoming India vs England Test series, according to a report in Cricbuzz, after the boards decided to rename the series as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The trophy comes in place of the Pataudi Trophy, which was being given to the winners of the bilateral Test series in England, but as reports claim, the England Cricket Board has decided to retire it. ECB had communicated the decision to the members of the Pataudi family as well, although the reaction to the same have not been known. There seems to be a change of heart in the England Cricket Board after a request from Tendulkar himself. After the batting legend's request, Jay Shah, a former BCCI secretary and current chair of the ICC, came along and played a crucial role in ensuring that the Pataudi name in the bilateral series remains undiminished. 'Yes, there is a confirmed plan to retain the Pataudi link in the England-India series," an ECB official told Cricbuzz. It might be that the authorities will name a medallion in the name of the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, which will, in all likelihood, be given to the winning skipper. Meanwhile, the proposed grand launch of the trophy, the new symbol of supremacy for the Test series in England, has been postponed. The decision to defer the launch comes in the wake of the grim mood in India after the Ahmedabad plane crash. According to the report, the trophy-naming ceremony was scheduled for Saturday, June 14, on the sidelines of the WTC Final. 'Given the tragic events in India, the announcement may wait a while out of respect (for the lives lost). The BCCI are still deciding on the right time for the announcement. The announcement had been kept flexible due to the tragedy," an ECB official was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz. More than 275 people, including 241 on board AI-171 Air India aircraft that crashed near the Ahmedabad airport on Thursday afternoon, passed away in what is being regarded as one of the worst aviation disasters in the country.

Kuldeep Yadav expects help for spinners from pitch during IND vs ENG series
As India gear up for their five-match Test series against England starting June 20, Kuldeep Yadav is hopeful that conditions will favour spin as the series progresses. With R. Ashwin now retired from Test cricket, Kuldeep steps in as India's only specialist spinner alongside all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Though he has limited experience in English Tests—having bowled just nine overs in his lone appearance—Kuldeep believes the surfaces will provide opportunities for spinners later in the matches. Observing the intra-squad warm-up match, he noted how the pitch evolved from helping seamers early on to offering turn by the third day, raising his expectations for the series. Growing in Ashwin's Absence, Guided by Jadeja Kuldeep admitted that Ashwin's retirement has been deeply felt in the dressing room, but it has also allowed him to build a closer working relationship with Ravindra Jadeja. The duo have been spending more time together on and off the field. Kuldeep shared that they regularly exchange thoughts on tactics, field placements, and strategies for specific opposition batters. Having two seasoned spinners in the side was once a comfort, but now the left-arm wrist-spinner is adapting to a more prominent role with Jadeja as his mentor. Intra-Squad Game Offers Valuable Preparation India are facing India A in their only red-ball warm-up game before the series. Kuldeep stressed the significance of bowling volume ahead of a long Test series, especially after months of T20 cricket. He said fast bowlers are expected to deliver 15–20 overs in preparation, and spinners too benefit from extended spells to regain rhythm and confidence. Despite the unpredictability of English conditions, Kuldeep remains optimistic. If the sun stays out and pitches wear down, he believes spinners can play a decisive role. New Skipper Impresses with Calm and Clarity Kuldeep also offered praise for new Test captain Shubman Gill. Describing him as composed and highly motivated, he noted that Gill seems ready for the leadership challenge. Having closely observed experienced captains like Rohit Sharma, Gill appears to have absorbed key lessons. Kuldeep said the youngster's focus on maintaining team spirit and clarity in decision-making bodes well for the demanding tour ahead.

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.
