BCCI hopeful of Bumrah getting fit for ODI WC

Jasprit Bumrah

The BCCI is confident that the ace India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, out of action due to a back injury, will be fit in time for the World Cup 2023. India will host the 50-over tournament later this year in October-November and the schedule is expected to be declared soon.

Extended window for WPL

BCCI also informed that the Women's Premier League will be played in the home-away format from the next edition onwards with a bigger window, most likely in February. The inaugural edition of the tournament was held from March 4-26 across two venues in Mumbai.

The Indian cricket board is also hopeful of appointing the chairman of selectors for the Indian cricket team before the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan, which is expected to be held after the ICC World Test Championship final.
