The organisation said they will "monitor" the situation leading up to the Games in France next year, but for the time being, they cannot call a time on if they will change their decision.
The IOC recommended excluding Russian and Belarusian athletes on security grounds last year following Russia's invasion of Ukraine but has recently sought to create a pathway for them to return to competition.

The craze for the cash-rich league in India was evident when Nearly 30,000 fans crammed up around the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore to see Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis unveil RCB's jersey for the 2023 season.

Will IPL 2023 be MS Dhoni's last season? Rohit Sharma comes up with an explosive reply

Doull has been critical of the Pakistani captain, stating that Babar Azam shouldn't be opening for the Men in Green in T20Is.

Why commentators Simon Doull & Aamer Sohail argued over Babar Azam's strike rate

Doull has been critical of the Pakistani captain, stating that Babar Azam shouldn't be opening for the Men in Green in T20Is.

Even though Pakistani captain Babar Azam wasn't part of the series loss against Afghanistan, he remained a big topic of conversation during the 3-match series.
Simon Doull, who had earlier been critical of Babar Azam's strike rate during the Pakistan Super League, once again voiced his opinion regarding Babar's position in the national team.
Stating Babar shouldn't be batting at the top of the order, Doull said, "Babar Azam is hands down the best No. 3 batsman in the world. He should not open for Pakistan. Saim and Haris should open with Rizwan in T20Is."
But Doull's colleague Aamer Sohail argued that T20 teams are selected on the basis of averages and not strike rates, and that averages are more important.
The former Pakistani batter also cited the example of AB de Villiers &amp; Chris Gayle, claiming that the best T20 batters in the world have had relatively lower strike rates but higher averages.
The Kiwi commentator though corrected his colleague, asserting that Gayle's strike rate is 158 and De Villiers' is 145.

#RanjiTrophy #INDvAUS #DELvMUM

Sarfaraz hit 125 off 155 balls against Delhi, helping his side finish with 293 in the first innings.

Sarfaraz Khan is in the form of his life.&nbsp;
Despite getting snubbed from the 17-man squad for the first two Tests against Australia, the Mumbai batter continued his stunning form with yet another hundred, this time against Delhi in the Ranji Trophy.
Sarfaraz, whose non-selection for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy baffled many Indian cricket fans, scored 125 on a difficult Kotla pitch, helping Mumbai reach 293 from a precarious 66/4.
Sarfaraz's effort received applause from everyone present, including Mumbai coach Amol Mazumdar, who doffed his hat to the 25-year-old after he reached his landmark.

Teams will be allowed to use an impact player at any time of the match, where they can replace a player from the starting XI with one of the five substitutes named at the toss.

IPL 2023: From Impact player to DRS reviews, find out WHAT'S NEW this season

A season of many firsts, #IPL2023 is set to introduce a number of changes never seen before at the world's biggest T20 competition.

Here's WHAT'S NEW!

Teams will be allowed to use an impact player at any time of the match, where they can replace a player from the starting XI with one of the five substitutes named at the toss.

The IPL is back!
And the 2023 edition will see many firsts which will add more excitement to the contests.
For one, teams will now pick their XIs after the toss, which means they'll have two sets of Playing XIs ready - one for if they're bowling and one for if they're batting.
And then there's the Impact Player rule, where teams will now name 5 substitutes in addition to their playing XIs. And they will be allowed to replace any of their players in the starting XI with one of those 5 substitutes at any point in the match. However, the impact player has to be an Indian if the team already has 4 overseas stars. Only when there are three or fewer foreigners in the XI, the team will be allowed to introduce another as an impact player.
Not to forget, the DRS has also undergone a revamp. Like in the Women's Premier League, the captains can now use DRS reviews to challenge no-ball &amp; wide calls made by the on-field umpires.
These rule changes will surely add even more value to the most popular T20 competition in the world.&nbsp;
