BCCI approves Ranji matches at neutral venues

The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Friday (June 24) approved the technical committee's recommendation to hold the Ranji Trophy matches at neutral venues. The decision was one among the many that were taken at the first Annual BCCI four-day conclave in Dharamsala.

The consensus was that the move should at least be tried for a season, and would help eliminate the possibility of teams churning out rank turners, which saw many games finish inside three days last season. In this new system, a team is likely to play all its games till the knockouts in a particular zone. The wickets at all the venues will be prepared by the curators appointed by the board.

It was also decided that the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy would be scrapped in favour of a new Twenty20 league which will see five zones selecting a zonal side to play an Inter Zonal League. Initially, the state teams will play an league within their zones, and the best players will make the team from that zone. Such a format will reward an in-form player and allow him to continue playing in the tournament, even if his state side fails to win regularly.

The Junior Committee's suggestion regarding the Under 19 players were also approved by the working committee. Under the new suggestions, an under 19 cricketer can represent India only once in the ICC Under 19 World Cup. Also, any player entering the system at the under 19 stage can only play two seasons of Under 19 cricket. This would ensure a fresh influx of players every year.

The BCCI is also keen on promoting Test Cricket by collaborating with the state units and hence will have a separate marketing budget in the upcoming season. The associations hosting international matches this season will have venue agreements with the BCCI so that their roles, responsibilities and the minimum standards that are required are well defined. The board will also start annual awards for state associations in the following categories: Best Website, Best Facebook page, Best Twitter Handle, Best Instagram, Best Media Facility, Best Media Operations. This will encourage state associations to be more transparent and professional.

Finally, the Media Committee's proposal to issue an Annual Season Media Accreditation card to journalists wanting to cover cricket games was also approved by the working committee during the meeting. Through this move, the board could screen the applications from journalists only once before the start of a season, and then approve the ones interested for a particular tour, rather than having to go through the entire list ahead of every series.

India players barred from playing multiple U-19 World Cups

The BCCI has decided that players who have represented India in one Under-19 World Cup cannot take part in another edition of the tournament, even if they meet the age criteria to do so. The board approved this suggestion of its junior committee in the BCCI working committee meeting on Friday.

The working committee has also decided that players who enter the system at the Under-19 stage can play a maximum of two seasons of Under-19 cricket.

Though the BCCI did not specify the reasons behind the move, it can be seen as an attempt to crack down on overage players, which has been a thorny issue over a number of years in Indian cricket. The former India captain Rahul Dravid, who is now head coach of the India A and India Under-19 teams, had made age-fudging a central topic of his MAK Pataudi Memorial Lecture in December 2015.

"I think of this overage business as dangerous and even toxic and to me, gives rise to a question: If a child sees his parents and coaches cheating and creating a fake birth certificate, will he not be encouraged to become a cheat? He is being taught to lie by his own elders," Dravid had said. "At 14, it may be in the matter of the age criteria, at 25 it may be fixing and corruption. How are the two different in any way? In both cases, is it not blatant cheating?"

A number of players have represented India at more than one Under-19 World Cup. Three members of their squad in 2016 - Avesh Khan, Sarfaraz Khan and Ricky Bhui - had also played in the 2014 edition. Examples from the past include Ravindra Jadeja (2006 and 2008) and Vijay Zol (2012 and 2014).
