Salman Butt has been named along with former teammates Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members to the recently-appointed chief selector, Wahab Riaz.

PCB brings back Salman Butt, fixing-convict part of National Selection Panel

Tainted former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has been included in the national selection panel by PCB ahead of Pakistan's five-match T20I series against New Zealand next year. 

Salman Butt has been named along with former teammates Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members to the recently-appointed chief selector, Wahab Riaz.

Tainted former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has been recalled into the cricketing scheme of things.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) included Butt in the national selection panel ahead of Pakistan's five-match T20I series against New Zealand next year.&nbsp;
The 39-year-old, who made a successful return to cricket in 2016 after serving a five-year ban for spot-fixing, has been named along with former teammates Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members to the recently-appointed chief selector, Wahab Riaz.
Butt was suspended for five years for his role in spot-fixing during the Pakistan and England Test match in August 2010.
After returning to cricket in 2016, Butt enjoyed a lot of success as a batter and captain in domestic competitions but was never considered for the national team again even though his partner in crime, Muhammad Amir was fast-tracked back into the Pakistan side in 2016 by the board.
Butt, a former opener, was last month hired for commentary assignments by the PCB for domestic competitions and is currently busy in the National T20 Championship.
"Their first assignment as consultant members to the chief selector includes the upcoming five-match T20I series against New Zealand, set to commence on 12 January 2024 following the conclusion of the Test tour to Australia,&rdquo; PCB said in a release.
"When not engaged in selection duties, the consultant members may be assigned additional tasks such as conducting skills camps." Butt, Kamran, chief selector Wahab Riaz and former Test pacer, Anjum all played together in the Pakistan team alongside the Director of the Pakistan team, Muhammad Hafeez.
Kamran, in a 15-year career, played 53 Tests, 157 ODIs and 58 T20Is while Butt appeared in 33 Tests, 78 ODIs and 24 T20Is and Anjum played a Test, 62 ODIs and two T20Is from 2004 to 2010.
Butt, Amir and Muhammad Asif were all found guilty of spot-fixing by the national crime agency in the United Kingdom and also served time in jail and the International Cricket Council imposed the bans on them.
Butt, under whose captaincy Pakistan won a Test against Australia at Headingley and one against England at the Oval in 2010, has always complained of being treated unjustly while admitting his remorse over his actions.
Few years years back, then head coach Waqar Younis had also recommended his name for a comeback to the national team, but former captain Shahid Afridi refused to let him make a comeback in the team.

Unexpected challenge faced by the India vs Australia T20 cricket match in Raipur as parts of the stadium lack electricity just hours before the crucial game. Uncover the reason—a long-unpaid electricity bill dating back to 2009.

IND vs AUS 4th T20I | Stadium hosting game has no electricity, bill not paid since 2009: report

The stadium hosting Ind vs Aus T20I faces power outage as the bill not paid since 2009.&nbsp;

In a surprising incident, the fourth T20 international cricket match between India and Australia scheduled for Dec 1 at Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh stadium is facing an unexpected challenge. News organisation NDTV reported that parts of the stadium are currently without electricity just hours before the crucial match. The reason behind this unusual situation is an unpaid electricity bill dating back to 2009, amounting to a staggering ₹3.16 crore.
The stadium's electricity connection was severed five years ago due to the outstanding bill, prompting the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Association to secure a temporary connection, stated the report.&nbsp; However, this temporary arrangement only covers the spectators' gallery and boxes, leaving the floodlights during the match reliant on generators.
Raipur Rural Circle in-charge, Ashok Khandelwal, revealed that the Cricket Association has applied to upgrade the temporary connection's capacity from 200 KV to 1 thousand KV. While the application has been approved, work on the upgrade is yet to commence.
The stadium's electricity bill dilemma came to light in 2018 when athletes participating in a half-marathon discovered a lack of electricity supply.
Responsibility for the unpaid power bill has become a point of contention between the Public Works Department (PWD), responsible for stadium maintenance, and the Sports Department, handling remaining expenses.
Multiple notice, No action&nbsp;
Despite receiving multiple notices from the electricity company, neither the PWD nor the Sports Department has made any payments. Since the power connection was cut in 2018, the stadium has hosted three international cricket matches, relying on generators for electricity during significant events.
Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh media coordinator, Tarunesh Singh Parihar, expressed scepticism about hosting future international matches due to the persistent issue.
He highlighted the use of generators as an alternative arrangement for significant matches, emphasising the uncertainty surrounding the outstanding electricity bill for stadium lights.

Both Kohli and Rohit requested to be left out of both the T20I series and the ODI series against South Africa, and the BCCI agreed.

Sourav Ganguly backs Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli taking break from cricket | India tour of South Africa

Sourav Ganguly has backed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for asking the BCCI for some time off cricket and their request to not play white-ball cricket on India's tour to South Africa.

Both Kohli and Rohit requested to be left out of both the T20I series and the ODI series against South Africa, and the BCCI agreed.

Sourav Ganguly has backed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for asking the BCCI for some time off cricket and their request to not play white-ball cricket on India's tour to South Africa.
'I think they were both exceptional this World Cup and 6-7 years down the line in the West Indies, they will again be at their best. Very rightfully they have taken a break because there is so much cricket. There's cricket all the time. I cannot imagine that you have played a World Cup final on the 19th of November and in 3 day's time you are playing a T20 series against the same team.'
'It is not easy to pick yourself up. Especially with the pressure and the demands of a World Cup. But that's what cricket is these days. You just keep playing all round the year. I'm happy they have got a break. I read yesterday that they wanted to be excused for the white-ball part of the South Africa tour also. Well. rightfully so. They will come back fresh for Test cricket. They have 5 Tests against England, then they have the IPL and then they have the World Cup. So. it's non-stop cricket. Hopefully, they come back fresh and keep performing,' said Dada.
Both Kohli and Rohit took some time off cricket and didn't play the 5-match T20 series against Australia after the Cricket World Cup.
They even requested to be left out of both the T20I series and the ODI series against South Africa, and the BCCI agreed.

Mitchell Marsh, who received a lot of backlash for putting his feet over the 2024 Cricket World Cup Trophy, finally reacted to the viral picture and defended his act.
'There was obviously no disrespect meant in that photo at all. I haven&rsquo;t given it too much thought, I haven&rsquo;t seen a lot on social media even though everyone tells me it&rsquo;s gone off. There&rsquo;s nothing in that,' Marsh said during a conversation with SEN.
Marsh also talked about the 5-match T20I series where quite a few Australian cricketers stayed back in India after the World Cup.
'Yeah it was pretty outrageous for the guys that had to stay behind. It&rsquo;s a fine line because we&rsquo;ve got to respect the fact we&rsquo;re playing for Australia, and it&rsquo;s a series against India which is always really big. But there&rsquo;s also the human side of it, the boys have just won a World Cup and probably deserve to celebrate for a while and get home to their families,' he stated.

It didn't go down well with Mohammed Shami as well who had then said that he was 'hurt' seeing that picture.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida Monday alleges that Ronaldo's promotion of Binance was "deceptive and unlawful."

Cristiano Ronaldo faces USD1B class-action lawsuit after promoting Cristiano Ronaldo faces USD1B lawsuit for promoting cryptocurrency for Binance NFTs

Cristiano Ronaldo was hit with class-action lawsuit seeking at least USD 1 billion in damages for his role in promoting cryptocurrency-related "non-fungible tokens," or NFTs

The lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida Monday alleges that Ronaldo's promotion of Binance was "deceptive and unlawful."

Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo was hit with class-action lawsuit seeking at least USD 1 billion in damages for his role in promoting cryptocurrency-related "non-fungible tokens," or NFTs, issued by the beleaguered cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern District of Florida Monday alleges that Ronaldo's promotion of Binance was "deceptive and unlawful." Binance's partnership with high-profile figures like Ronaldo, the plaintiffs claim, led them into costly and unsafe investments.
"Evidence now reveals that Binance's fraud was only able to reach such heights through the offer and sale of unregistered securities, with the willing help and assistance of some of the wealthiest, powerful and recognised organisations and celebrities across the globe&mdash;just like Defendant Ronaldo," the suit reads.
Representatives for Ronaldo declined to comment Thursday. Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, did not immediately return requests for statement from The Associated Press.
Ronaldo launched his inaugural NFT &ldquo;CR7&rdquo; collection with Binance in November of last year, ahead of the 2022 World Cup. The NFTs &mdash; which had starting prices ranging from the equivalent of about $77 to $10,000 &mdash; featured seven animated statues depicting Ronaldo from iconic moments in his life, from bicycle-kick goals to his childhood in Portugal.
Monday's suit says that the promotional efforts of Ronaldo's Binance partnership were "incredibly successful" &mdash; alleging a 500% increase in online searches using the keyword &ldquo;Binance&rdquo; after the soccer star's NFTs was announced. The collection's premium-level NFTs sold out within the first week, the suit claims.
Ronaldo has since continued to promote Binance on his official website and social media platforms. Most recently, on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) Ronaldo reposted a Binance video and wrote that he was &ldquo;Cooking something up" with the crypto exchange on Tuesday.
NFTs are ordinary digital images with an attached version number that have been added to a cryptocurrency blockchain, a process designed to make them &ldquo;unique&rdquo; collectibles. NFTs enjoyed a brief boom, but have since largely collapsed in value as the crypto industry has been marred by scandals and market meltdowns.
Over the summer, Binance was accused of operating as an unregistered securities exchange and violating a slew of U.S. securities laws in a lawsuit from regulators. The crypto exchange agreed last week to pay a roughly $4 billion settlement and its founder Changpeng Zhao stepped down as CEO and pleaded guilty to a felony related to his failure to prevent money laundering on the platform.
This week's lawsuit against Ronaldo isn't the first time that a celebrity has faced litigation over crypto promotions. Last year, a host of Hollywood and sports stars &mdash; including Larry David and Tom Brady &mdash; were named as defendants in a class-action suit against FTX, which was the second-largest crypto exchange before it collapsed in November 2022. The suit argued that the celebrities' status made them culpable for promoting FTX's failed business model.
Ronaldo is one of the most recognizable and wealthiest athletes in the world. He leads his home country Portugal's national team and has played for the Spanish team Real Madrid, the Italian club Juventus and Manchester United in England. He now plays for the Saudi Arabian professional team Al Nassr.

'Rohit has been offered T20 captaincy but he is in UK on a holiday and wants an extended break after four months of gruelling season till end of the World Cup,' a BCCI source told PTI

Will Rohit Sharma still lead in T20 World Cup 2024? Hardik Pandya 'not an automatic choice'

It is understood that Hardik Pandya is no longer an automatic choice for T20 captaincy in the T20 World Cup next year if Rohit  Sharma decides to play the shortest format.

'Rohit has been offered T20 captaincy but he is in UK on a holiday and wants an extended break after four months of gruelling season till end of the World Cup,' a BCCI source told PTI

Rohit Sharma's request to the BCCI for a break from white-ball cricket in South Africa despite being offered T20 captaincy has been accepted, while Jasprit Bumrah has been named his deputy for the two Tests starting December 26.
Virat Kohli's request for a break from limited-overs games too has been accepted as Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul will lead the national team in T20Is and ODIs respectively.
However, it is understood that Hardik Pandya is no longer an automatic choice for T20 captaincy in the T20 World Cup next year if Rohit decides to play the shortest format.
"Rohit has been offered T20 captaincy but he is in UK on a holiday and wants an extended break after four months of gruelling season till end of the World Cup. But as captain, he has the highest respect for the dressing room and if he agrees to lead India in T20 World Cup, he will lead," a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
After the T20 World Cup in 2022, Rohit had actually been reluctant to play the shortest format as he focused on 50-over cricket.
Interestingly, most of the players selected for ODIs don't feature either in Tests or T20Is.
Only three players have been selected in all three squads -- Shreyas Iyer, Mukesh Kumar and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Axar Patel has been dropped from the T20 squad and Ravindra Jadeja is the new T20 vice-captain for the series.
The national selection committee, on expected lines, has not included Kona Bharat in the Test squad as KL Rahul will now don the big gloves in the Test matches.
Rahul as keeper also opens two middle-order slots -- for Shreyas Iyer and reserve batter Gaikwad -- in the Test lineup.
It is understood that Mohammed Shami has a chance to get fit before the Test series starts late in December.
"Shami's injury isn't very serious at the moment and hence he has been kept in the squad. Prasidh Krishna has been kept as his cover just in case.
Ajinkya Rahane, who scored 89 in the World Test Championship final, has probably played his last Test along with Chesteshwar Pujara.
"The two slots that Rahane and Pujara had now belong to Rahul and Iyer. Also, Gill will bat in the middle order and Yashashvi will get a long rope," the source added.
Pacer Umesh Yadav has also played his last Test.
ODI is the least important format right now but looking at the 2025 Champions Trophy, a new-look squad under Rahul will play the 50-over games.
Rajat Patidar, B Sai Sudharshan and Rinku Singh, all with fantastic List A records, are in the ODI squad and will form the nucleus of the next 50-over team.
Kuldeep Yadav, who couldn't be accommodated in the Test squad, is there in both the white-ball squads.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who missed the World Cup, is now back in the 50-over format while Ravi Bishnoi is in the T20 squad.
India's Test squad for South Africa:
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (wk), KL Rahul (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Prasidh Krishna.
India's T20I squad for South Africa:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Ravindra Jadeja (vc), Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Deepak Chahar.
India's ODI squad for South Africa:
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudharsan, Tilak Varma, Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (c, wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Chahar

Explore the intriguing developments in Indian cricket as coaching maestro Rahul Dravid secures a mysterious extension with the BCCI. The duration of Dravid's role as head coach remains undisclosed, adding suspense to Team India's journey.

#RahulDravid #BCCI 

Rahul Dravid kept the duration of his extended tenure with Team India a mystry as he said he hasn't signed anything yet.&nbsp;

Indian cricket's coaching maestro, Rahul Dravid, chose to keep a tight lid on the duration of his extended role as the head coach of the Indian team. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently granted an extension to Dravid and the support staff, ushering in a new chapter for Team India.
During a brief interaction with reporters in Delhi, where he, alongside BCCI chairman Ajit Agarkar, was finalising India's squads for the upcoming T20I, ODI, and Test series against South Africa, Dravid maintained a sense of mystery regarding the tenure of his renewed contract. Despite confirming his continuation as Team India's head coach, the exact duration remains undisclosed.
Addressing the media, Dravid clarified, "Nothing's out officially. I haven't signed anything as yet, so once I get the papers, we will discuss it."&nbsp;
This statement was accompanied by an air of suspense as reporters sought answers before Dravid entered his car.
Speculations suggest that Dravid might lead the team until the T20 World Cup in 2024, presenting both him and India with a third opportunity to clinch a World Cup title in as many years. Notably, India reached the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in 2022 and finished as runners-up in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
VVS Laxman is currently steering the T20I squad in a series against Australia, allowing Dravid to focus on preparations for India's upcoming tour of South Africa, commencing on December 10 with T20Is.
Following the South Africa tour, scheduled to conclude on January 7, Dravid will oversee England's visit for a five-Test series across multiple Indian cities. Subsequently, the 17th season of the IPL will provide Dravid with a break before Afghanistan's T20I series in January.
Looking ahead, the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA is on the horizon, scheduled from June 3 to June 30, followed by a tour to Australia at the year's end. As Test cricket takes centre stage, the decision on Dravid's tenure extension rests on his desire, despite the BCCI's eagerness for a continued partnership.

For the first time in Olympic history, the Games' opening ceremony will not be hosted in a stadium setting but instead it will play out along the River Seine and its banks.&nbsp;

Host city Paris readies River Seine for grand opening ceremony, open-water swimming for 2024 Olympics

For the first time in Olympic history, the Games' opening ceremony will not be hosted in a stadium setting but instead it will play out along the River Seine and its banks. 

For the first time in Olympic history, the Games' opening ceremony will not be hosted in a stadium setting but instead it will play out along the River Seine and its banks.&nbsp;

A giant water storage facility designed to keep the Seine river clean is nearing completion just in time for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Making the Seine River swimmable was a key part of Paris' bid to host the Olympics.
The Olympic deadline has supercharged a cleanup that has been decades in the making.
Without the imperative of having to be ready for 10,500 Olympians in July and August next year, followed by 4,400 Paralympians, City Hall officials say it would have taken many more years to fund the multi-pronged, 1.4-billion euro ($1.5 billion) effort.
As well as hosting outdoor swim races, the Seine is going to be the centrepiece of Paris' unprecedented Olympic opening ceremony.
For the first time, it will take place not in a stadium setting but along the river and its banks.
City Hall says samples taken daily last July and August in the stretch of river where Olympians and Paralympians will compete showed the water quality was overwhelmingly &ldquo;good." By their sports' standards, that means acceptable.
Setting off from the Seine's ornate Alexandre III bridge, triathletes will race first in 2024, with men on July 30th, followed by women the next day.
After the games, the river should then reopen to everyone &mdash; in the summer of 2025.

Here's why Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli don't feature in the white-ball squads | India Tour of South Africa

After naming squads for the India vs South Africa series, the BCCI revealed the reasons behind Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's absence from the white-ball teams.&nbsp;

The Senior Men's Selection Committee on Thursday picked squads for the upcoming India tour of South Africa.&nbsp; In an expected move, seniors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not feature in the two separate squads named for the T20Is and ODIs.&nbsp; The BCCI released a statement later giving the reasons behind their omission.&nbsp; It said that Sharma and Kohli have requested the Board for a break from the white-ball leg of the tour.&nbsp; Meanwhile, India's star pacer Mohammed Shami has only been named in the Test squad.&nbsp; Without specifying anything, the Board revealed that the 33-year-old is undergoing medical treatment and his availability will be subject to fitness.&nbsp;

Team India have bagged the 5-match T20I series with a 20-run win against Australia in the 4th T20I as the Indian spinners proved lethal on the night to take the Men in Blue home.
Put to bat first, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad &nbsp;gave the side a healthy start. However, wickets at regular intervals saw the team struggle at 111-4 at 13.2 overs.
On came Rinku Singh (46) who along with Jitesh Sharma (35) started piling pressure on the Aussie bowlers and helped the home side post a competitive 174/9 on the board.
In reply, Australia's world cup winner Travis Head contributed well with a 16-ball 31. But it wasn't Australia's night as Indian spinners featuring the likes of Axar Patel (3) and Ravi Bishnoi (1) turned the game in India's favour and decimated the Aussie batting order.

Former cricketer AB de Villiers is confident that Sanju Samson will perform well in India's upcoming ODI series against South Africa. Despite not being part of the World Cup 2023 squad, Samson is set to make his comeback for the 50-over series against the Proteas.
ABD commended Samson's technique on his YouTube channel and said, 'It&rsquo;s great to see him in the team. He will enjoy the South African wickets. He stands tall when he bats. There&rsquo;s a bit of bounce and movement and all the batters will be tested. But someone like Sanju, I think, will do well. And he also gives you an option with the gloves.'
Sanju Samson, who made his ODI debut in 2021, has experienced fluctuations in his presence in the team. With 13 ODIs in his career, Samson boasts 390 runs at an impressive average of 55.71 and a strike rate of 104. His track record includes three half-centuries, with a top score of 86 not out.
The ODI series between India and South Africa is set to kick off on Sunday at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on December 17. Subsequent matches will take place at St George's Park in Gqeberha on December 19 and Boland Park in Paarl on December 21.
