The Committee of Administrators (CoA), which controls the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said the sporting community should isolate Pak for supporting terrorism and make it the “apartheid of international cricket,” just as South Africa was excluded in world games due to its policy of apartheid
COA chairman Vinod Rai told to reporters “Want to make Pakistan the apartheid of international cricket and will seek all member nations’ support to make sure it happens and this matter will officially be tabled in the ICC chief executives meet too,”
In the backdrop of Pulwama attack, On Friday BCCI had appealed to the International Cricket Council (ICC) to dissolve ties with countries from where terrorism emerges, in a clear reference to Pakistan.

West Indies Cricket Board president Dave Cameron has appealed to the ICC to review its slow over-rate rule.
This came in the scenery of a one-match suspension passed over by the ICC to West Indies skipper Jason Holder for slow over-rate following which he will miss the third Test against England.
West Indies are leading the three-match series 2-0 and are on the verge of a memorable clean sweep but the absence of their in-form player could spoil the party for them. Cameron said that if they lost the match then the series would not be remembered for their “sparkling play” but for “crippling” decision made by the ICC.
“We will, of course, abide by the ICC ruling, but we have to wonder if such punitive action at a pivotal stage of the series is good for cricket. What a shame if the series is remembered not for the sparkling play of the reinvigorated West Indies players but for a crippling decision made by a rule that ought to be modified,” ESPNcricinfo quoted Cameron, as saying.
“Jason now has the opportunity to benefit from resting his body over the period of the next Test, and be well prepared for the upcoming ODI series against England which begins on February 20,” he added.
England and West Indies are set up to play the third Test from February 9 to 13 at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium.

Amidst loud roar and fanfare, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar unveiled “Sachin Saga VR”, India’s first virtual reality cricket multiplayer headset on the ongoing 23rd International Engineering and Technology Fair at the India Gaming Show.
The cricket legend, who has been working hard with a Pune-based company JetSynthesys from the game’s inception, said the central idea was to offer people an authentic feel of what literally happens in the sport of 22 yards.
Sachin Tendulkar said, “This launch is very special to me because I have been involved with this from last two years. This is also special because such an initiative is happening for the first time and let the people know what a cricketer face on the field. I hope it will now enable people to think twice before criticizing a cricketer for not being able to play the way he/she intended to,”.
The 45-year-old reminisced how they shot the stills for the game in an upscale studio in London, where many Hollywood films have been shot.
“We shot my pictures used in the video in a studio in London, which had 38 cameras all over to shoot each and every moment of time. They have compiled 100 of my favorite innings in their VR headset,” he said.
At the same time, Sachin Tendulkar also emphasized that youngsters should not ignore the outside games which are extremely important for fitness.
“Please strike a balance between indoor and outdoor games. Like the way, when you get into fitness, you have cheat days so in sporting also you should have such days where you can do some indoor fun. This game is all about bonding with friends,” he added.
He also gave a glance to the game by playing an over the match with the company’s CEO Navani Rajan. The launch event saw an audio-visual production of a song “Nacho Nacho Saare” to promote Sachin saga, where the cricketer was seen crooning alongside Sonu Nigam.

Asia Cup 2018, India Vs Hong Kong: The buzz about India's recent performances has gone around its preparation for the big series. The BCCI had agreed to play back-to-back games, there was a lot to do with the fact that they were more likely to play a cooperative nation. But the match against Hong Kong was considered more of a practice to the Indians. A match that was meant to get an idea about the conditions of the pitch became a bitter lesson for the Indians. This 26-run win of India in the Asia Cup 2018 wasn’t an appropriate win or an ideal practice for Rohit Sharma’s team. Basically, it was a reality check just before the crucial clash against Pakistan. This extension in the workout may affect the players for the match on Wednesday. By the 20th over for the second innings, the tension was making a house in the Indian camp, when the 286-run target was only 156 runs away from Hong Kong with all 10 wickets in hand and 25 overs were in hand.

Both the Hong Kong openers, Nizakat Khan and Anshuman Rath were pacing their innings and the team’s score at a steady rate. Shikhar Dhawan's 120-ball 127 almost gone in vain with Nizakat's 92 and Rath's 73. This was the moment when only the inexperience could fail the opponents battling to justify the ODI status given to their games for this tournament.

And the inexperience was reflected in the 5th over when a tired Rath drove a Kuldeep Yadav-half-volley to Rohit Sharma at extra-cover on 73 and the 174-run opening stand was brought to an end. It was the perfect time when debutant Khaleel Ahmed took the important wicket of Nizakat as caught him in front of the stumps on 92 in the next over, it opened the way and ray of hope for India. Yuzvendra Chahal finished his bowling figures with 3/46. The 20-year-old Khaleel Ahmed returned figures of 3/48. But the bowlers are well known of the condition what they have to face under lights on Wednesday.

The Indian batting soon realized that their batting lineup was not in that ultimate form. Rohit Sharma's not well timed lofted shot off off-spinner Ehsan Khan safely landed in the hands of mid-off. While Ambati Rayudu in his comeback match scored 70-ball 60 at No.3. and then what followed was a similar story of the failure of the middle-order in India’s ODI cricket. India could gather only 48 runs, losing five wickets in the last 10 overs of the innings. The middle-order failed the team one more time.
What was expected to be a perfect practice after Hong Kong elected to field turned out in the overconfidence resulting in failure out in the middle! Dinesh Karthik looked good as he scored 33 runs while MS Dhoni couldn't deliver of what is expected from him as on Ehsan Khan’s delivery he gave the edge to the wicketkeeper to fall for a duck after facing only three odd deliveries.
As more and more Hong Kong batsmen were taking the game closer, the happier the Pakistanis would be. With such a less time we just hope India will do its best to dominate in the Asia Cup 2018 match on Wednesday.
Super Four
Final - 28 September (Dubai).

Elected to bat first, Pakistan’s innings was wrapped up for just 162 runs, kudos to the Indian bowlers who gripped the innings right from the start and didn’t allowed Pakistani Batsmen to make a comeback in the match as their score was only 25 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in the powerplay of 10 overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kedar Jadhav were the star bowlers as they shared 3 wickets each between them. Apart from them, the depth bowler, Jasprit Bumrah finished his bowling spell with two wickets.

In reply, India made a decent start and then it was a bang inning of 50 plus runs from the bat of Hit-man and current Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma. It was the 35th ODI fifty for him in the Asia Cup 2018. A fine partnership held between Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan. However, soon after Rohit’s half-century, Shadab Khan set him back to the pavilion. But, Shikhar Dhawan kept the fight alive but Faheem Ashraf dismissed him for 46 as the left-handed batsman missed out on his fifty. After Rohit and Dhawan's dismissal, both Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik assured India crossed the finishing line. Ambati Rayudu hit the finishing runs and achieved the target in just 29 overs. Now, India will again clash against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2018 on September 23 on the same venue. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar was adjudged "Man of the Match" for his brilliant spell of 3/15. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya was injured in the 4th over of his spell. We just hope for his speedy recovery.
