Arshdeep Singh's injury invites team India selection headache ahead of 4th Test; will Jasprit Bumrah play in Manchester?
India's were dealt with a new blow as Arshdeep Singh injured himself during training ahead of their fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. The left-arm pacer suffered a cut on his bowling hand on Thursday, according to assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate. Based on a TOI report, Arshdeep sustained the cut while attempting stop a shot from Sai Sudharsan in his follow-through. The 26-year-old was immediately examined by the BCCI medical team. Arshdeep, who is yet to make his Test debut, was in contention for the fourth Test. 'We have to see how bad the cut is,' Ten Doeschate told reporters. 'Obviously, the medical team is taking him to see a doctor. And whether he needs stitches or not is going to be important to our planning for the next few days,' added the former Dutch international. Arshdeep's injury invited a huge selection headache for the Indian captain Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir. Had Arshdeep played in Manchester, the Indian team would have got the luxury to rest Jasprit Bumrah at Old Trafford, keeping his workload management in mind. In case, Arshdeep doesn't fit in time, India might be forced to play Bumrah in the fourth Test. In the Lord's Test, that India lost, India played three front-line pacers in Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. The fourth Test starts from July 23. Asked about what the team combination would be in the fourth Test, Ten Doeschate chose to keep everyone guessing. 'We'll take a call on the combination we play. Particularly given the Arshdeep situation as well, we'll make that call closer to Manchester,' said Ten Doeschate. As far as the batting order is concerned, the concern is the form of Karun Nair. The right-hander, who made his Test return after eight long years, has failed to make an impact in the firsr three games.

Sports Business: BCCI posts record revenue of Rs 9,741.7 crore in FY 2023-24; IPL contributed Rs 5,761 crore
Logo of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) The Board of Control for Cricket in India ( BCCI ) has reported record revenue of Rs 9,741.7 crore for the Financial Year 2023-24, with the Indian Premier League ( IPL ) emerging as the primary contributor at 59 percent of total earnings. The IPL generated Rs 5,761 crore, while the Board earned an additional Rs 361 crore from non-IPL media rights, according to a report by Rediffusion. The IPL's success has established itself as a crucial revenue stream for the BCCI since its inception in 2007, providing opportunities for players from various levels of cricket, including the Ranji Trophy. "BCCI in 2007 discovered a golden goose – the IPL which is now a 100 per cent part of the BCCI. The tournament is the best and media rights are constantly going up. IPL also ensures that players from Ranji Trophy-level get a playing field. IPL will continue to churn out profitability as it growth further," said Lloyd Mathias, business strategist and independent director, to The Hindu Business Line. 07:36 'Jay Shah Deserves Credit for How He Ran BCCI' | Arun Dhumal on BCCI's Commitment & Leadership The Board's revenue streams have diversified to include the Women's Premier League (WPL) and global rights, creating a substantial financial foundation built on fan engagement and strategic partnerships. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo "BCCI has immense potential to commercialise traditional formats like Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, or CK Nayudu Trophy to shore up non-IPL revenues. Moreover, the board has close to Rs 30,000 crore in reserves, which brings in about Rs 1,000 crore a year in interest alone. These revenues aren't just sustainable—they are poised to grow 10–12 per cent annually, thanks to expanding sponsorships, media deals, and matchday earnings," said Sandeep Goyal, Chief of Rediffusion. The BCCI's financial model has proven successful, with the International Cricket Council (ICC) relying significantly on BCCI's funding contributions. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep 4: Prof. Ratnakar Shetty on BCCI, cricket politics & Indian cricket's growth "ICC depends on BCCI for the bulk of its funding. ICC is not driving revenue as it should," said Ajimon Francis, Managing Director at Brand Finance India. Despite a brief interruption during Operation Sindoor this year, the IPL's performance remained stable, demonstrating the league's resilience. The BCCI's influence extends beyond domestic cricket, with international cricket boards showing interest in collaboration. The Lancashire County Cricket Club's CEO reportedly suggested that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) should offer BCCI a minority stake in the Hundred tournament to attract Indian men's players.

On Ben Stokes vs Jasprit Bumrah Workload Comparisons, India Coach's Sharp Response
England captain Ben Stokes quashed concerns over his workload during the third Test at Lord's against India last week. Stokes raised the benchmark not just for his own men but also for the Indian fast bowlers going into the final two games, bowling a marathon 44 overs and took five wickets to help his team register a narrow 22-run win. The 34-year-old was praised by experts for throwing workload management out of the window, instead of thinking about what lies ahead. Stokes' exploits led to comparisons between him and India pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is set to play in only three of the five Tests. Just like Stokes, Bumrah has been an injury prone cricketer. It was planned well in advance ahead of the tour and the champion fast bowler missed the second Test in Birmingham as part of workload management despite India losing the series-opener at Leeds. India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate opens up on the comparisons between the two, and praised Stokes, who pushed his body to the limit despite knowing that the possibility of a breakdown was real. "That was super impressive for Ben to come out on their last day and bowl the amount of overs he did with the intensity he did, and obviously bats and fields as well. We're not here to compare our bowlers to individuals from other teams," ten Doeschate said in a press conference. "We have our own strengths. We know what Jasprit particularly does in spells, in shorter spells, which he prefers bowling in," he added. Stokes has had to deal with injuries throughout his career and most recently underwent a surgery following a hamstring tear in January. On talks of the Indian team managment failing to utilise Bumrah the same way as Stokes, ten Doeschate defended their approach. "And when the time's right, and what I alluded about Siraj, some bowlers are like that. You get the best out of them in their seventh, eighth and ninth over, but not everyone has to be the same as that. And we feel that in consultation with Jasprit, how we use him is the best way for the team," he said.
