After yesterday’s game between India and Sri Lanka at the Feroz Shah Kotla had been abandoned due to an unsuitable pitch, there is a good chance that the ground in Delhi may be blacklisted for a period of 12 to 24 months from playing international games. This could mean that it will not host its share of the World Cup games in 2011 if deemed by the ICC.

The BCCI has included Ashish Nehra in the list of retainer contracts after he had been missing out of the list in the last four years. He had made a comeback to the Indian side after performing marvellously well in the Indian Premier League in both, 2008 and 2009, and then getting selected for the Indian side.

Rahul Dravid scored an unbeaten 177 on the first day of the first Ahmedabad test match against Sri Lanka, as India recovered to post 385/6 by the time the stumps were drawn. MS Dhoni was the other centurion in the innings, as Indians recovered from their abysmal start of 32/4 and got to the realms of safety.

Sachin Tendulkar has completed twenty years in international cricket. He had first played a test match on 15th November, 1989 against Pakistan, as a highly precocious 15-year old and when he walked out to face the Sri Lankans, he was into his 21st year in the international cricket. Unfortunately for him, he scored only four before being bowled by C. Welegedera.

The Indian selectors have sprung a surprise by recalling back S. Sreesanth in the 15 member squad that they announced for the first two test matches against Sri Lanka. Sreesanth had been out of the Indian team for some time now thanks to injury and his on-field temperament, and was even warned by the BCCI to mend his ways.

The Australian skipper Ricky Ponting refused to indulge in any mind-games on landing in Mumbai to participate in the 7 match ODI series. Instead he went on to say that a contest between the world’s no. 1 and no. 2 ODI teams promises to be a close contest and that it would be wrong to predict a winner. This was in line with comments made by Steve Waugh earlier when he was in India.
