DRS, Sept 11: Pant injured for WI Tests, BCCI served notice by court & India vs India A in Asia Cup?
Team India have started the Asia Cup on a positive note but not without controversy. Ravichandran Ashwin doesn’t think that the Men in Blue are benefitting from playing the Asia Cup from the T20 World Cup 2026 perspective and has suggested some changes. BCCI has been served a notice. Rishabh Pant isn’t likely to play the India vs West Indies Test series. And the Bronco Test, being used as a parameter for fitness, has been questioned.

India destroys UAE
Surprisingly, Team India didn’t drop Sanju Samson for Jitesh Sharma. Instead, they moved him to the middle order. This didn’t change anything, as the match ended in just 17.4 overs. The UAE were all out for 57. In reply, India chased down the target in 4.3 overs, making it their fastest win while chasing.

Pant still injured
Rishabh Pant might not play in the India vs West Indies Test series. The wicketkeeper might have complicated his injury after he decided to continue batting with a broken foot. Pant will still need at least 2 more weeks to recover. He might just make his comeback in the India vs Australia ODI series in late October.

BCCI served notice for fraud
The Uttarakhand High Court has served a notice to the BCCI over the misappropriation of funds worth INR 12 crore. The eye-catching thing was a whopping INR 35 lakh sum spent on the purchase of bananas by the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand for the 2024-25 season.

Bronco Test questioned
Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar thinks that the newly introduced Bronco test shouldn’t be the basis of fitness for all players. The former opener has no issues with the test being used to improve fitness, but he thinks everyone’s body is different and therefore having one standard isn’t right.

India fans angered by Asia Cup broadcast
Controversy has hit the Asia Cup. Indian fans aren’t pleased with Sony India, the official broadcaster for the tournament, after they employed former Pakistan bowler Wasim Akram in the panel for the India vs UAE match. Due to the recent history, fans didn’t like Akram sharing the space with former Indian batter Robin Uthappa.

South Africa in Asia Cup?
Ashwin doesn’t think that Team India will benefit from playing in the Asia Cup. He thinks all the other teams are too weak, and perhaps by adding South Africa and making it an Afro-Asia Cup or adding India A into the mix, it’ll be a good lead-up for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
