DRS、12月9日: 新BCCI長官ロヒット・シャルマ氏がシャミに最新情報を伝え、インドはWTC 2025決勝から敗退?

It was a day of disappointment in Indian cricket. Three teams played international cricket and all lost. The men’s and women’s senior teams were thrashed by Australia’s men’s and women’s in Test and ODI cricket, while the men’s under-19 side faced defeat at the hands of Bangladesh. Speaking of Indian cricket, we have a new supremo. Devjit Saikia, the current joint secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has replaced Jay Shah as the Secretary. Rohit Sharma, India’s captain, gave some injury update on Mohammed Shami; the auction list for the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025 is out, and former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi wants Pakistan to reply back to India if they don’t come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025.

Team India out of WTC 2025 Final?

The India cricket team has gone down from first to third on the WTC points table after losing by 10 wickets in Adelaide. After winning by a whopping 295 runs in Perth, it was expected that Team India would continue their winning ways and make a third consecutive WTC Final, but it’s getting tougher by the game. To confirm their spot, they have to win at least two of the next three games and win a third consecutive series Down Under.

Devjit Saikia, new BCCI Secretary

Current BCCI joint-secretary Devjit Saikia has replaced Jay Shah as the BCCI Secretary. The former cricketer from Assam was appointed for the new role by current BCCI President Roger Binny, who invoked clause 7(1)(d) of the constitution. Saikia will serve as BCCI Secretary until September 2025.

Shami unlikely for India vs Australia Tests

Mohammed Shami’s recovery isn’t going as planned. The right-arm pacer returned to cricket after nearly one year, and while playing for Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he has seemingly picked up another injury. Captain Rohit Sharma revealed the insight in Adelaide after losing the India vs Australia 2nd Test.
