India U-23 team ready to face Tajikistan: What did coach Naushad Moosa say ahead of friendly?
The India U-23 men's team is set to face host Tajikistan on Wednesday at the Hisor Central Stadium, followed by another friendly against Kyrgyz Republic on June 21. 'The boys are very eager for tomorrow. I've been talking to them about how important these games will be for us,' said head coach Naushad Moosa, for whom it's his second tour with the U-23 team, after coaching them in two friendlies against Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur last year. For the Blue Colts, these matches in Tajikistan are part of their preparations for the AFC U-23 Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers that will be held in September. India will face Bahrain, Qatar and Brunei Darussalam as it aims to qualify for the U-23 continental event for the first time. 'The weather is pretty warm. It's normal for us. It's always good to have supporters in the stands. We would love to have them cheer for us. Most of our players are coming here for the first time, so it would be great motivation for them. I think the last time the Indian senior team played in Tajikistan, there were a lot of Indian fans in the stadium, so let's hope for the same,' said the 53-year-old. 'We know Tajikistan are a strong team. They qualified for the U-23 Asian Cup last year and also did well at the senior Asian Cup. The players will, of course, be different tomorrow. The coach has changed. We just have to go out there and do our job right,' said Moosa. Tajikistan U-23 form guide Tajikistan U23s were last in action in November 2024 when they lost two friendlies against United Arab Emirates, both by a 0-3 margin. At the AFC U-23 Asian Cup 2024, Tajikistan was knocked out in the group stage after defeats to Iraq and Saudi Arabia and a win over Thailand.

With Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli, Have We Seen The Last Of Stars? As They Fade So Does An Era
The cricketing world witnessed a deeply emotional moment in May 2025 when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their retirement from Test cricket. They have already retired from T20Is and now retiring from Test format marked the end of an extraordinary chapter in Indian cricket history. Fans, experts, and fellow players alike grappled with the realization that two of India's greatest had finally hung up their boots. After having witnessed the future, the clip of Sunil Gavaskar predicting India's future in 2012 Asia Cup feels the perfect teaser to their moviesque careers. While Chasing a mammoth score of 330 against India's arch rivals Pakistan, during a match of Asia Cup 2012, a 25-year-old Mumbai prodigy and a 24-year-old promising batter from Delhi were batting together. One of India's greatest Cricketers, Sunil Gavaskar predicted on the commentary -'I think we have glimpsed the future, the future of Indian batting, Rahul Dravid has just called it a day, You don't know how long will Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman are gonna be around, But I think that is the glimpse of India's batting future'. The two cricketers were Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, just as Gavaskar predicted both went on to score record breaking runs for the country bringing glory to the nation with their impeccable performances across the globe. The two colossal figures had a different journey but what followed was nothing short of greatness. Rohit Sharma announced his arrival in International cricket in the inaugural T20 World Cup 2007 helping India win the trophy with his valuable contributions, including a quick 30 knock in the final against Pakistan that turned out to be the difference. Virat Kohli on the other hand was fast-tracked in the team after winning the 2008 U-19 World Cup under his captaincy. Virat later was a key part of India's 2011 World Cup win. Both players grew into being loved figures in Indian cricket, setting numerous records and winning multiple ICC trophies between them. Rohit has Three double centuries in ODIs and Five T20 International Centuries to his name. and holds the record for the highest individual score in ODI (264). Kohli dominated all three formats with consistency and passion, becoming the face of Indian cricket for over a decade. Rohit has 49 international centuries while Virat has 82 centuries, just second to Sachin Tendulkar's hundred hundreds. Together, they have contributed to four ICC trophies for India: Rohit with the 2007 T20 World Cup, Kohli with the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the duo jointly with the 2013 and 2025 Champions Trophies and the 2024 T20 World Cup. Their rivalry and camaraderie created one of the most compelling chapters in modern cricket, attracting millions of fans and generating fierce but affectionate debates between their supporters. Amidst the social media nation fighting between Rohitians and Viratians, the two greats decided to retire from both the formats together, first from the shortest format of the game during the T20 World Cup in June 2024 and then in May 2025 from the whites. While their departure will undoubtedly leave an irreplaceable void, The question that lies with India is, Will we ever be going to replace The King and The Hitman? The Show Must Go On Can Be Replaced From Game, But Never From Hearts The Future of Indian Cricket: Searching for Successors Balancing Legacy with Reality The Indian cricket team now stands at a crossroads. The game demands not only talent but also leaders who can inspire a fragmented fanbase and navigate the commercial complexities of modern cricket. Whether the current crop of players can rise to that challenge remains to be seen. As Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bow out, the nation celebrates their monumental contributions while anxiously awaiting the emergence of the next generation who will carry forward the legacy. The journey continues, but the era of RO-KO will remain unforgettable. Imperfectly Perfect Both Rohit and Virat had their flaws like Rohit's recurring fitness issues and questions over his agility in the field were talking points throughout his career. He even missed some key SENA tours because of it while Kohli, supremely fit, was at times criticized for being overly aggressive, both on and off the field, with captaincy decisions that didn't always pay off. His abrupt removal from ODI captaincy also exposed cracks in team management dynamics during his later years. But perhaps it's those very imperfections that made their success so relatable. They were never robotic, they were passionate, vulnerable, and always human. Their battles with form, their bounce-backs, and the emotional transparency they displayed only deepened the connection with fans. Personality Poles Apart The two just like their cities have been poles apart but Just like how an India needs both a bit of Delhi's aggressiveness and Stature, it also needs a Serene and Calm Mumbai. Just as India draws strength from both Delhi's boldness and Mumbai's quiet resilience, Indian cricket has flourished because of both, the aggression and grandeur of a Delhi-born Kohli, and the calm, relatable grace of a Mumbaikar like Rohit, steady like the city's local trains.

Beware! BCCI cracks down: New bone test rule to catch over-age players
Representational photo NEW DELHI: In a notable development, the BCCI has introduced an additional bone test at the junior level to ensure that young cricketers don't miss out on a season due to the "+1 factor" currently applied in the eligibility calculation, which often disqualifies players by a narrow margin. As per the existing procedure, a cricketer's age is determined through the TW3 method (used to assess bone age), and a "+1" is added to the result to project eligibility for the next season in the same age group. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! With the updated rule, players in the Under-16 boys' category will now be permitted to undergo a second bone test in the following season, should the "+1" factor make them ineligible in the previous one. "It is being done to have an exact age and make sure that no player loses due to arithmetical calculation rather than scientific calculation," a BCCI source told PTI. Currently, the bone age limit is set at 16.5 years for U-16 boys and 15 years for U-15 girls. "This means that the bone age of a player has to be 16.4 or below in the following season in male cricketers and 14.9 or below in case of females for participation," the source said. To further illustrate the new policy, if a male U-16 player's bone test result in the 2025-26 season shows 15.4 years, he won't be tested again the next season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Instead, one year will be added arithmetically, bringing his bone age to 16.4 for the 2026-27 season, keeping him eligible to compete. Conversely, if a player's bone age is 15.5 or more, adding one year makes it 16.5 or above, exceeding the eligibility threshold of 16.4 and ruling him out of the U-16 tournament. Lobo Predicted It, Again: South Africa's Historic WTC Win vs Australia "It's possible that this arithmetical calculation does not accurately reflect a player's actual age, which could cause them to lose out on a year of eligibility," the source added. For U-15 girls, if a bone test shows a player is 13.9 years old this season, she qualifies to play next season with a bone age of 14.9. But if she tests at 14 or older this season, she can participate now, but not the following year, given the 14.9 age cap.
