Impact of BCCI’s ’10 Points Policy’ on Indian Cricketers
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced a new policy that makes it compulsory for Team India players to participate in domestic matches. This move has sparked speculation about the potential teams that top players might join, with some players already committing to play in upcoming matches.
Recent Developments in Ranji Trophy
The next round of Ranji Trophy matches is scheduled to begin on January 23, with several high-profile players set to take part. However, there has been a recent update regarding one of India’s top batsmen, Virat Kohli. According to reports, Kohli has withdrawn from the next Ranji Trophy match due to a neck injury.
As reported by ESPN Cricinfo, Kohli has informed the BCCI medical staff that he has not yet fully recovered from the neck problem he suffered during the Sydney Test against Australia. This news will likely be a blow to cricket fans who were looking forward to seeing Kohli in action. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has been confirmed to play for Delhi in the upcoming match against Saurashtra.
Potential Consequences of Missing Domestic Matches
According to the BCCI’s new policy, players who refuse to play domestic matches without a valid reason may face disciplinary action. In such cases, players must obtain approval from head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar before opting out of a match.
