No question about it. But there aren’t many in India about whom India’s greatest living icon can say such a thing. AThere isn’t anyone else for whom Lata Mangeshkar will, unasked, sing a couple of lines of Mera saaya. As Lataji told me with a smile, “He loves this song.” And there is no one else for whom Asha Bhosle will frame the words of her favourite song in her own handwriting and send it across, hoping he’d put it up in his music room. Sachin Tendulkar is a pan-Indian love affair. Rather, he is trans-national. He is the only cricketer to get a standing ovation in every cricket-playing country in the world. For us Indians, he is a national obsession and has been so for the past 24 years. Despite a billion people living his life for him, he has performed at his best for two decades and more. He has given Indian cricket a voice that reverberates around the world and has single-handedly given our cricket a kind of reverence seldom rivalled in the annals of the sport. For no other person could we have assembled the line-up we have in this very special effort. The best of India and the world loves Sachin. And the best of the best, across professions and disciplines, would want to wish him a very happy 40th birthday. His continuing passion and enthusiasm imbues the cliche, ‘Forty is the new twenty’, with a new meaning. That’s what we call the issue. Happy birthday, Sachin.

    Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association Annual Report for the year 2018-19 Superb display by the U-16 boys to qualify for the semi final of Vijay Merchant Trophy, our U-14 lads who won the Raj Singh Dungarpur Trophy, and the U-19 team that played quarter final of both the multi-day and the one day tournaments, marked the 2018-19 season for us. This season also witnessed the rise of Avesh Khan as a destructive fast bowler at the first class level. As also, MPCA was once again chosen for hosting elite tournament of BCCI in form of the league and followed by super league & final of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament. Ms. Pooja Vastrakar is selected in Indian Women's Cricket Team for First 3 T20Is matches against South Africa Women, which is a befitting reward for her consistent performance during the Women’s T20 Challenger series earlier this year. Mr. Nitin Menon is appointed as 'on-field umpire' by the ICC for the Test between Afghanistan and West Indies to be played in Dehradun from 27th November 2019. He becomes the first umpire from the soil of Madhya Pradesh to act as 'on-field' umpire in a Test match. After his nomination on the International Panel of ICC Umpires, Nitin has officiated several One Day Internationals / T20 Internationals as 'on-field' and 'TV umpire', besides being a regular name for IPL and other BCCI domestic matches. We begin by paying homage to those who left us for heavenly abode in the intervening period, including players, members, administrators, and relatives of our members.

  • CBI's REPORT on CRICKET MATCH FIXING and RELATED
    CBI‟s REPORT ON CRICKET MATCH FIXING AND RELATED MALPRACTICES http://cbi.nic.in/match1.htm SECTION-I GENERAL (a) GENESIS: In response to the request from Ministry of Sports regarding an inquiry into match fixing and related malpractices in Indian Cricket, vide DO No. F-23-8/2000-SP.III from Shri N.N. Khanna, Secretary, Ministry of Culture, Youth Affairs and Sports, CBI registered a Preliminary Enquiry No. 2/S/2000 on 2.5.2000. The scope of the PE is broadly limited to the letter of Shri N.N. Khanna in which there is a general mention of various allegations as they had appeared in the media as well as issues raised during a debate in both the Houses of Parliament. The Ministry‟s letter further requests the CBI to collect and evaluate various news-items and information published in both the print and electronic media and conduct a comprehensive enquiry into the allegations of match fixing and related malpractices connected with the game of cricket. (b) PARAMETERS: After registering the PE, CBI undertook an exercise to fix certain parameters, since the enquiry was open-ended without setting for itself any specific time-frame for which the probe was to be conducted or specific allegations or names which had to be looked into or specific areas which had to be enquired into. In this connection it was decided that first of all a broad enquiry was to be made to ascertain whether match fixing and other malpractices connected with the game of cricket existed. Accordingly, the following corner-stones were fixed as primary focal points of this enquiry: (1) to identify the betting syndicates operating in India and examine their activities; (2) to unravel the linkages of cricket players or their intermediaries with these syndicates and their roles in the alleged malpractices; and (3) to examine the role and functions of BCCI so as to evaluate whether it could have prevented the alleged malpractices.

ETH Zurich) presented by SOUVIK NAHA M.Phil., Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Born April 4, 1987 Citizen of India accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. Harald Fischer-Tiné Prof. Dr. Christian Koller Prof. Dr. Projit Bihari Mukharji 2016 Abstract This thesis explores a network of mediated relationships, constituted by the mass media, readers, and spectators, to uncover various strands of the public’s mobilisation as cricket consumers in Calcutta from 1934 to 1999. It argues that mediatisation and mediation of cricket have played more significant a part in the circulation of cricket than historians have accorded to it. It studies the role of literature, news reports and radio broadcasts, which have transmitted cricket for a long period, as agents of producing a history of the sporting public. The framework of culture in this thesis is formulated on media texts which, far from being confined to objective treatment of cricket, evoked canons, provided the sport with a sense of tradition, and determined the protocols of its appropriation.
