A top BCCI official has given the reasons for the omission of MS Dhoni from the contracted players group. The 27-player list was announced on Thursday (January 16)

Sunil Subramaniam will have to appear before BCCI CEO Rahul Johri in Mumbai and offer an explanation for his alleged high-handedness while dealing with senior Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officers, a top BCCI official told . The IFS officials had reached out to him with the government''s request for a video shoot by players to promote ''water conservation''

As per norms, while the new Cricket Advisory Committee — likely to be chaired by Kapil Dev — will decide on the head coach, the selectors have been tasked to conduct interviews for the rest of the support staff

'This is completely unacceptable. We have written to the ICC, raising our concern about what happened in Headingley today. If this kind of incident is repeated in the semi-finals, it will be really unfortunate. Safety and security of our players is paramount,' a senior BCCI official said

'Yes, Rahul (Johri) appeared before the panel in person before the probe panel. Since two of the alleged victims have already deposed along with COA members and one of the principal office-bearer (treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry), only CEO was left,' a senior BCCI official said

'Yes, (Vinod) Rai, Anirudh (Chaudhry), (Aditya) Verma deposed before the panel. Amitabh (acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary) couldn’t make it because he is busy with personal issues. It’s not known why CK (Khanna) decided to give the deposition a miss,” a senior BCCI official said

'Not everywhere do you get quality net bowlers and it becomes a problem for the senior team during practice sessions. With back to back games, you don't expect a Bhuvneshwar Kumar or a Jasprit Bumrah to bowl flat out at the nets,' BCCI official said
