The Technical Committee made the following recommendations:

    ·          If a domestic match is played on a wicket that is ‘underprepared’ in the opinion of the match officials, then two points will be deducted from the host association’s tally for the season.

    • Domestic T20
    ·          The present Ranji Trophy format was discussed at length, and it was felt that the ‘Elite-Plate’ format be continued.

    ·          The recommendations made by the Technical Committee will have to be ratified by the Working Committee of the Board.

    The Senior Tournament Committee discussed the adverse reports received by the Board with regard to poor pitch conditions in the Ranji Trophy.

    The Committee had summoned representatives of the Hyderabad Cricket Association and the Railways Sport Promotion Board on the basis of reports submitted by match referees.

    After considering the reports and giving a hearing to the representatives of the concerned associations, the following recommendations were made:

    ·          The Hyderabad CA was let off, after being warned that such an incident should not be repeated.

    ·          The RSPB will not be able to host any BCCI match at the Karnail Singh Stadium, in the 2012-13 seasons. However, the association can suggest alternate venues for its home games. Matches could be played at the alternate venues, subject to the BCCI’s approval.

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
