Jay Shah recently had a meeting with Rahul Dravid in Miami, which might initially seem like a regular interaction between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary and Team India Head Coach. However, there's more to this offshore rendezvous than meets the eye. This meeting took place before the commencement of the two Twenty20 Internationals against West Indies at Lauderhill, Florida, on August 12 and 13.

According to Cricbuzz, the meeting reportedly lasted for nearly two hours and was held at the hotel where the BCCI secretary was staying. While the Indian team was accommodated at the Marriott in Miami, Dravid made the effort to drive down and meet the BCCI boss. This meeting comes at a time when Shah was in the US for a private visit, and he was even captured by television cameras during the fifth and final T20I on August 13.

Although it might appear to be a routine occurrence, the significance of this meeting should not be underestimated. It arrives ahead of two crucial assignments for the Indian team, namely the Asia Cup and the World Cup. While it's evident that some level of planning for these significant events may have taken place during this meeting, the specific details remain undisclosed. The question of whether there will be any additions to the coaching staff also lingers. As of now, there is no information about anyone joining the preparatory camp for the Asia Cup, which is scheduled to take place in Alur, Bengaluru, starting from August 24.

It's worth noting that this meeting occurs against the backdrop of the Indian team's underwhelming performance, which has attracted considerable criticism due to recent results. Shah has been clear about the BCCI's strong desire to win the World Cup, which it is hosting.

Various experts have voiced their criticisms regarding the team's management of players and matches, particularly focusing on the performance of the Indian batting line-up. For instance, Parthiv Patel suggested on Cricbuzz that Team India might benefit from having a separate coach for the T20Is. Additionally, Venkatesh Prasad, a former India pacer and bowling coach, expressed strong disappointment with Dravid's leadership, citing ordinary performances and a lack of hunger and intensity in the team's approach. He stressed the need to avoid complacency and prioritise improvement over favoritism.

Fawad Alam quits Pakistan cricket for career in USA

Image
  Fawad Alam turns 37 in October this year. © Getty Out of favor batter Fawad Alam has called time on his Pakistan career that spanned for 15 years. Alam, who turns 37 in October, will turn up as a 'local' player for the Chicago Kingsmen in Minor League Cricket T20, a tournament that underpins USA's just concluded flagship T20 tournament Major League Cricket (MLC). He joins a long list of Pakistan players like Sami Aslam, Hammad Azam, Saif Badar and Mohammad Mohsin who moved bases to USA to ply their trade in the country. Although he made his white ball debut for Pakistan in 2007, Alam's presence has been sporadic at best in the Pakistan dressing room. Notching up a ton on Test debut in 2009, he was dropped a couple of Tests later and played his next Test after a gap of 11 years, despite amassing mountains of runs with an average of 55 in the domestic circuit. Alam established himself in the Test team for a brief period after his career got a new lease of life in 2020. ...

Target to get the knee right and making sure it's ready to go when time comes - Williamson

Image
  Kane Williamson ruptured his ACL on the opening night of IPL 2023 © Getty Will he? Won't he? That's been the big question around Kane Williamson and his race to fitness ever since he ruptured his ACL on the opening night of IPL 2023. There's less than two months to go for the World Cup but it must be said that for an injury that takes its time to heal, Williamson has done really well to get back to facing throwdowns in just around four months after the injury. Williamson was guarded while speaking about his recovery but did admit to entertaining thoughts of "earlier targets" given how he has been tracking. "If the knee is at a stage where that can be a reality, that's great, but it very much is about getting it right and making sure it is ready to go when that time comes - whenever that time is," Williamson said ahead of a net session in Mount Maunganui. "You do have some good days, then you have a few variable ones. It's all part of the j...

'It was Ben's call': Buttler on Stokes's return for ODI World Cup

Image
  by    Cricbuzz Staff   •    Published on   Fri, Aug 18, 2023, 04:44 PM Share Tweet Jos Buttler said badgering Stokes about coming back wouldn't have worked © Getty England's white-ball captain Jos Buttler maintained that Ben Stokes's  return from ODI retirement  was purely the all-rounder's decision and that the team management took negligible initiative in this regard. Stokes, who had retired from the 50-over format in July 2022, reversed his stance earlier this week and was named in England's provisional World Cup squad. It was after the recently-concluded Ashes series that Stokes decided to communicate his decision to Buttler. The England and Wales Cricket Board had (ECB) left the whole matter in the skipper's hands, given Buttler's well-known rapport with Stokes. While numerous discussions had reportedly happened between the two, the ball had been left in the all-rounder's court. "To be honest, it was Ben's call," Buttler said. "...
