Members united under CAU umbrella to get BCCI affiliation, but now some accuse secretary of overreach. Others say hiring 'high-powered' Wasim Jaffer was a mistake for fledgling team.
A controversy had erupted after Jaffer resigned as the head coach of the state's senior men's cricket team on 8 February over charges of religious bias in the selection of players.
Speaking to ThePrint, former India opener says he doesn’t need to explain himself, but is heartened to have found support among the cricketing community.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Keep religion out of cricket, if a moulvi was invited by any player then ask the player to disinvite him. The shifting of blame to a player is not professional. The coach takes lead not the player. It might be some stupid colleges who would have called moulvi and Wasim Jaffer has done a mistake he should have complained about that guy who called a moulvi and should not right the chant is not at all communal but it’s related to culture.
A lame attempt at “secularizing” the issue. Mr. Mahim Verma may have abused his authority and therefore may deserve appropriate disciplinary action or punishment.
But the act of inviting a Maulvi/Maulana to the stadium for prayers can never be glossed over. Since when did this become a part of cricket in India? If we are to walk on this path then players from every faith will start organizing their own rituals and prayers on the stadium premises. Is this how we wish things to be going ahead?
Whoever was involved in this “initiative” must be held accountable.
