This is a great advantage , because nobody could call early in case there was any approach , but I think that people were sure of it , now the official traveling with integrity each team. way the youngest or the most susceptible at times, it is the player uninitiated. ‘ve given them all the education he needed. ”

Tambe plans executed to perfection
While Karun Nair won the Man- of- the- Match award for a 50 -ball 73 which helped Rajasthan Royals chasing 153 against Delhi Daredevils , Pravin Tambe had as big a role in the team ‘s fourth win of the season , picking up crucial wickets of Kevin Pietersen and Quinton de Kock to keep the score down .

Tambe Pietersen caught a stretched Temerarios until Captain Steven Smith finished slicing long, before taking a smart catch to send back de Kock 42 return delivery. The legspinner said the two scalps were the result of a well thought out plan .

” Pietersen Wicket was very important because he is a great player and everyone knows it. And if he stays in the window, he can turn things around for his team,” Tambe said. “We knew it was going to direct at least one bowler . I was the only spinner , so I thought I was going to attack. Knew the areas that had to bowl, and I was bowled according to the plan and gave their window.

Adapting to conditions key- Mathews

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews believes that adaptation to the conditions of English as quickly as possible will be the biggest challenge of his team on its upcoming tour of England and Ireland. Sri Lanka will start their campaign with two ODIs against Ireland in Dublin before moving to England for a Twenty20 international at one time, five ODIs and two tests.

“As a player the most important is to adapt to the conditions,” Mathews said. “We’ve been playing a lot of cricket in the subcontinent and play in England will be a great challenge for us all , especially to suit conditions early. Early summer , conditions can be wet and the ball seam and swing a little. If we can adapt to conditions as soon as possible and play our brand of cricket we can beat any team .

“Playing against Ireland will be good for us. ‘re A very good team and we can not be complacent against them. Know their conditions well and adapt to their conditions be our biggest challenge . Whatever the team that plays there knows that Ireland is very good at home . expect a good challenge for them and I’m sure you guys are ready for it . ”

Mathews also said he expects England to come hard on his team after a disappointing Ashes campaign in Australia , where they were defeated 5-0 . Even history is against Sri Lanka , which has not won a Test in England since 2006 , when they came out victorious Nottingham Test by 134 runs to tie the three-match series , 1-1. The team last toured England for a Test series in 2011, when the batting collapse in the second innings of the first Test in Cardiff gave the hosts a 1-0 win .

” England are very difficult team to beat at home ,” he said . ” They know their conditions and play their best cricket at home. ‘s Going to be a big challenge for all of us and we’re looking forward to it . ”

For Mathews who has been on three previous tours to England, but only played in ODIs , this is his first trip to the country. Sri Lanka will play Tests in the Lord and in Leeds. Sri Lanka have not won a bilateral ODI series outside the subcontinent since November 2010 , when they beat Australia in February – 1.On be touring England in 2011 , they lost the five-match ODI series 2-3.

“Playing in the Lord will be a special moment for me and the team. If we can win the series it will be a great effort from the whole team ,” he said . “But we’re not looking too far, but take one game at a time. We’re playing against Ireland and then hoping to take that momentum to the series of England and try to win against them in the ODIs and tests . ”

Mathews has been captain of Sri Lanka for seven tests and the additional responsibility only brought the best of his batting . The average of 80 in tests , including three fifty-one personal best of 157 not out. In ODIs also has an impressive record as captain , scoring 794 runs at 44.11 in 32 matches with an unemployment rate of 83 . Mathews , however , only credited his teammates for his good form .

” I’m slowly getting comfortable because the team is responding very well . They are giving me your 100 percent and are like family . We help each other and we enjoy the success of others . That’s the main thing.

“It’s a team effort and makes us very well in the recent past. Speak with all the senior guys and get their advice , but I do it in my own style with the help of many people .

Winning the Cup Asia was a key moment as captain Mathews , particularly due to the burden of expectations thrust on the shoulders of Sri Lanka. Before his win T20 world in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka finished runners-up in four of the last six world events.

“It was one of the highlights of my career. That’s a big trophy I won with the help of the team,” Mathews said. “We have very close in the past but have not won a major title before the Asian Cup . I am very happy with the way we went about it. Winning the T20 World Cup was also a great achievement for the whole team. ”

To help achieve its goals Mathews , has a new vice – captain, a new coach as well as a special consultant . Lahiru Thirimanne has assumed the role of Deputy Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal Marvan Atapattu has filled the vacuum created by coach Paul Farbrace , who returned to England. , Former Surrey coach Chris Adams has been appointed to act as a consultant for the tour.

” Thiri is a great player and has shown that in the past. He is one of those players who does not have the opportunity to bat in a permanent position for a long time and he has hit in several positions. Whether you take your record that has marked almost all positions. This shows the player’s character . he is a kind of very cool head and calm. I’m looking forward to him being my assistant and taking the team to greater heights .

” Marvan has played enough cricket and captained the country so often . He has enough coaching experience . He was our hitting coach and is now appearing as a head coach . He shared his experience over and has been great. I’m pretty sure he will do a good job. players it comes to responding to the challenge .

” We also hope to make the most of Chris Adams. Thinking behind getting that he was aware of the conditions of English and the English team too. ‘ve Done some analysis of the English team . We’re lucky to know their players but it’s more about the conditions and how we use it correctly. That was the main thought behind it has appointed.

CAB to push for Srinivasan’s exclusion from ICC

The Bihar Cricket Association , the petitioner in the case of the current Supreme Court against BCCI , says he will find a bar in N Srinivasan on behalf of the board of the International Criminal Court , and will even look to take legal struggle on that front outside India . The following case goes to a hearing before the Supreme Court on Tuesday .

The ICC , which was not officially registered any protest or public discussion on the issue last Srinivasan , an official Full board member said that the CAB plan “should be music to the ears ” of their colleagues in other boards . The International Criminal Court and the other nine full members – who have considered an internal matter of BCCI – are essentially looking for the Supreme Court to address the issue of Srinivasan to be the representative of India in council meetings CPI .

The Supreme Court has held until now that Srinivasan ” can not return as president of BCCI ” until completion of an investigation into alleged spot -fixing and betting scandal in IPL. However, Srinivasan attended the meeting of the ICC , on 9 and 10 April , and will become the new president in July.

At its hearing on Tuesday , the Supreme Court had asked Mukul Mudgal – who conducted the initial report that resulted Srinivasan was ordered to withdraw the rights of BCCI – to assume more power research because the probe panel proposed by the BCCI was involved in a conflict of interest. On Tuesday , the court is likely to hear from Mudgal panel about the terms of reference and the type of assistance necessary to carry out the probe.

With the court should enter their holiday break on May 11 , the petitioners are likely to defend with greater urgency to the exclusion of Srinivasan ICC .

Aditya Verma , secretary of the Cricket Association of unrecognized Bihar, said he was confident the court would be favorable to his request . “This is a well-defined technical issue . If you have been excluded from the BCCI , how can you go to the International Criminal Court The BCCI is a member organization of the International Criminal Court, and they are representing BCCI alone, right? ”

The court may , however, consider that the ICC is an international body and not within its jurisdiction, or even point to the absence of protest from the ICC or any of its members against Srinivasan .

” The same happened with the BCCI ,” Verma said. ” The members do not withstand Srinivasan BCCI . Similarly, if the ICC does not hold, and if it falls under the jurisdiction of our court , will not help to go and fight him in Dubai, where the ICC is based. ”

Earlier this week, Nalini Chidambaram , one of the attorneys for the plaintiff, ESPNcricinfo had said that they had made ​​a prayer against the role of ICC Srinivasan and Srinivasan ‘s insistence she is compared to be part of the ICC “a man who is not fit to be a judge of the high Court, but who wants to be a judge of the Supreme Court.”

It is understood that at the last meeting of the Executive Board of the ICC , held in Dubai on April 9 to 10 , some of the directors of the board had raised concerns – more than murmurs vocal objections – against the presence of Srinivasan . However Srinivasan is believed to have responded by saying it was a couple of unhappy people trying to drag him up. His message, the official member of the board , he said , was approved by the President of the other table , it was responding to the few questions that were raised.

Srinivasan ‘s detractors say is a direct violation of Rule 2.1 of the ICC Code of Ethics which states: . ” Each Director shall they act honestly and ethically To facilitate transparent functioning of the ICC , the conduct that gives the appearance of impropriety is also unacceptable . Administration not engage in any conduct that in any way denigrates the ICC or damage your image public . no funds or assets of the ICC can be used for any illegal purpose , and no director may participate in unlawful conduct. ”

According to the official board member , the Code of Ethics of the ICC says that ” each of the directors have an affirmative obligation ” to challenge Srinivasan . In accordance with Rule 8 3 in the Code of Ethics of the ICC . ” Each director has the obligation not only to respect the code of ethics , but also to report violations of the Code of Ethics when they find them. ” Hen They Become aware of them. “…
