The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have decided to not print the name ‘Pakistan’ in the Indian team jerseys for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, according to media reports from India and Pakistan.

India's cricket board has capped the amount of time players can spend with their families on tour after a string of Test defeats including a 3-1 drubbing in Australia this month.

Devajit Saikia was the only person nominated to be secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and is set to be anointed at a meeting of members in Mumbai on Sunday.

The Champions Trophy is slated to be played across three venues -- Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi -- from February 19 to March 9 next year.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi asserted that his board are 'not prepared to accept a hybrid model' for the upcoming Champions Trophy in February next year and that the PCB are preparing to host the entirety of the tournament in Pakistan.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Faruque Ahmed said he has received assurance regarding the security of the Bangladesh team for the upcoming India tour from BCCI secretary Jay Shah.

India has appointed former South Africa Test fast bowler Morne Morkel as its bowling coach, the country's cricket board said Wednesday.

The Mumbai-born cricketer played 40 Tests and 15 ODIs for India between 1975 and 1987, before becoming a selector, and later, the coach of the national team. Gaekwad was the coach of the Indian team that finished runners-up at the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy.

"It is with immense pleasure that I welcome Mr Gautam Gambhir as the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team," Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement.

India's World Cup-winning cricket team will share prize money of nearly $15 million, the national cricket board said Sunday, as a reward for their "talent, determination, and sportsmanship".

At a press conference ahead of India's first game against Ireland in New York, Dravid stated he will not reapply for the role, with the BCCI advertising the role from last month.

"How can I help India win the World Cup - I think it's not me that will help India win the World Cup, it is 140 crore Indians that will help India win the World Cup," Gambhir said.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited applications for the next India head coach as Rahul Dravid's tenure will end after the 2024 T20 World Cup. 

Shah also informed that India would not adopt a split-coaching model.

With Rishabh Pant and Kuldeep Yadav certainties after their performances so far in the IPL, two places remained up for grabs. Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal have seized their opportunities and earned recalls with impressive displays in the ongoing tournament.

The IPL, which began on March 22 in Chennai, will end five days ahead of the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States, starting June 1.

Grade A+: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja.

“Kishan and Iyer are likely to be excluded from that list, as both haven't been playing domestic cricket despite the BCCI's diktat to do so,” Times of India quoted a source

“Some players have begun prioritising the IPL over domestic cricket, a shift that was not anticipated,” ESPNCricinfo quoted Jay Shah from the letter.

The statement added: "The BCCI requests the media and fans to respect Virat Kohli's privacy during this time and refrain from speculating on the nature of his personal reasons."
