On the other hand, the Indian team is also slowly moving towards preparations for the World Cup 2027. India will play a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan from June 13.

Shubman Gill will captain the team in this tour, while Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli are not available for selection due to injury.

The International Cricket Council has made a big change in the rules of Test cricket. In fact, in Test matches, the day’s play often has to end early due to bad light. As a solution to this, the ICC has approved the use of pink ball in times of poor light. However, at present it is only on trial basis.

The ICC Board’s meeting was held in Ahmedabad on 31 May i.e. the day of the final of IPL 2026. The decision on the use of pink ball was taken in this meeting. The purpose of this decision is to maximize the number of overs in Test matches. Usually, due to bad light, the day’s play is ended early, which reduces the number of overs in the match.

Let us tell you that the first pink ball test match in the history of cricket was played in 2015. In that match, Australia defeated New Zealand by 3 wickets. After that, matches with pink ball have been played between countries from time to time. Pink ball can be used during bad light only if both the teams agree on it.

Coaches will be able to come to the field

ICC has made another major change. Now whenever there is a drinks break during the matches, the coaches will be able to enter the field to talk to the players. Another major decision was approved in the meeting held in Ahmedabad. Match officials will now be able to look at Hawk-Eye data to detect suspicious actions by bowlers. This new rule will be implemented from October 1, 2026.

Amid the ongoing controversy over the Asia Cup trophy, BCCI is preparing to corner Mohsin Naqvi. According to media reports, BCCI has prepared a list of allegations against Naqvi, which can be put forward in the ICC meeting. Apart from being the current PCB chairman, Naqvi is also the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). BCCI has alleged that Naqvi has violated the operating rules made by ICC.

Quoting Telecom Asia Sport, sources have said that BCCI has prepared a list of allegations against Mohsin Naqvi. BCCI is planning to raise questions on his eligibility to hold sporting posts. Another surprising thing has come to light that BCCI is getting the support of Afghanistan Cricket Board in this.

Political relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have deteriorated in the recent past, especially after the military strike in which three Afghan cricketers lost their lives. After this incident, the Afghan cricket team refused to play in the tri-series with Pakistan.

According to Telecom Asia Sport, a source said, “India will put pressure on Mohsin Naqvi to leave one of the posts (ACC or PCB Chairman), in this BCCI will get the support of the Afghanistan Board. Although Naqvi will leave any post, the possibility of this happening is less.”

It has also been revealed in the report that Mohsin Naqvi is already preparing to find a solution to the arguments presented by BCCI. Recently it was reported that due to the debate regarding constitutional amendment in Pakistan, Naqvi may not be able to be a part of the ICC meeting on November 7. Sumair Syed can attend the meeting in his place. If Naqvi comes to the meeting, the first question BCCI will raise is on the Asia Cup trophy.

The Asia Cup trophy dispute may drag on for a long time. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was going to raise this issue in the ICC meeting. Now there is news that due to ongoing political issues in Pakistan, Mohsin Naqvi may miss the ICC meeting. The four-day long meeting started on Tuesday.

Mohsin Naqvi is also the chairman of Asian Cricket Council. He may have to face sharp questions from BCCI in the ICC meeting. But according to the latest update, he will not come to the meeting. Let us remind you that after winning the final on September 28, the Indian team had refused to take the trophy from Naqvi’s hands.

According to a report published in India Today, a PCB source did not say due to which domestic political issues Mohsin Naqvi would not attend the meeting. Naqvi is the Home Minister of Pakistan and has not participated in a single ICC meeting after Jai Shah became ICC Chairman.

Sumair Syed can attend the ICC meeting in place of Naqvi. It was also told in the report that if Naqvi is unable to reach Dubai, then he can be present in the board meeting on 7th November i.e. the last day of the meeting. The Indian team became the champion on September 28, but the trophy is still locked in the office of the Asian Cricket Council in Dubai.

Mohsin Naqvi is not only the chairman of Asian Cricket Council but also the chairman of PCB. It is clear from the beginning that if Team India wants to take the trophy, then he will hand over the trophy to the Indian players with his own hands. But Team India had flatly refused to take the trophy from his hands on the day of the final itself. Due to this, the post match presentation also started late by 90 minutes.

BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla had said that Mohsin Naqvi does not have personal rights on the Asia Cup trophy, its rightful owner is Team India, hence the trophy should be given as soon as possible. Even after that Naqvi has not handed over the trophy to Team India.

According to media reports, selling of mobile gaming rights and the format of Under-19 World Cup can be the two main topics of discussion in the ICC meeting. Let us tell you that this meeting will be held from 4th to 7th November. Along with this, the issue of increasing the reach of cricket can also be raised in the meeting. It is also possible to discuss the issue of getting cricket a place in the South American and Pan American Games.
