India are all set to host the South Africa team for the five <keyword id="7389867" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="t20-match-series" source="Orion">T20 match series</keyword>, which will be played across the country in June, shortly after the completion of IPL 2022. The BCCI has already confirmed that the IPL will be held in Mumbai and Pune from March 26 to May 29 and just about 10 days later, the <keyword id="18238" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="t20" source="Orion">T20</keyword> series against Proteas will begin. The Apex Council of the BCCI, which met on Wednesday decided on the schedule for the South Africa series and matches are likely to be held from June 9 to 19. During the meeting, the venues were also finalised and Cuttack, Vizag, Delhi, Rajkot and Chennai will host the matches, an Cricbuzz report said. The report also stated that Bengaluru and Nagpur were to get the games in the series but Cuttack and Vizag have been allotted the matches instead, presumably because the two centres missed out on the T20 matches during recent West Indies series. Notably, the BCCI conducted the six matches against West Indies in only two centres -- Ahmedabad and Kolkata -- with an aim to cut down on travel and Covid-19 threat. The Apex Council has also factored in the weather conditions in the country around June and according to information gathered by the board managers (placed before the meeting), there may be slight rain for the first game in Cuttack (as is the seasonal norm in that part of the world at that time of the year). For the second game in Vizag, there is less chance of rain while warm conditions are expected in the other three centres - Delhi, Rajkot and Chennai - during those games. After the South Africa series, Team India will fly to England for an unfinished Test and six white-ball matches.

Twenty20

<ul><li>According to ICC, <keyword id="496245" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="suryakumar-yadav" source="Orion">Suryakumar Yadav</keyword> has scored 732 runs in the T20I format this year.</li><li><keyword id="5493496" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="suryakumar" source="Orion">Suryakumar</keyword> Yadav has scored these runs at a strike rate of more than 180 and an average of more than 40.</li><li>Suryakumar Yadav is up to the second position in the latest MRF Tyres ICC Men’s T20I Player Rankings with 801 rating points.</li></ul>Charismatic India batter Suryakumar Yadav's string of fine performances in the last few series has seen him became the highest run-scorer for India in a calendar year in T20Is, which bodes well for Rohit Sharma's team as it aims to reclaim the T20 World Cup crown it won nearly 15 years back. During the opening T20I against South Africa at Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday, Suryakumar smashed another unbeaten half-century (50 off 33 balls) as India defeated the visitors by eight wickets with 20 balls to spare in a low-scoring game. Chasing 107 for victory, opener KL Rahul's 51 followed by Surya's unbeaten 50 made the task of achieving the win a cakewalk and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Suryakumar continued his incredible run in T20Is this year, completing more than 700 runs in the format in the year, according to ICC. His tally of runs in T20Is in 2022 is a record for an Indian batter with Surya going past Shikhar Dhawan's 689 runs in 2018 in the format. What makes his record even more glorious is the fact that the batter has scored these runs at a strike rate of more than 180 and an average more than 40. Coming in at No.4 on Wednesday, with India reeling at 17/2 in the seventh over, Surya slammed two maximums off the first three balls he faced to ease the pressure and give the Indian innings a change in momentum after a sluggish start. He remained unbeaten on 50 off 33 balls as India scaled the target with more than three overs to spare. With the two sixes early in the innings, Surya also went past Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan to record the most sixes in any calendar year in T20Is. Rizwan held the record for his 42 sixes in 2021 with Martin Guptill also smashing 41 sixes in 2021. Surya has taken his tally of sixes to 45 in 2022 already, a record in all T20Is, with three more months to widen the gap with Rizwan. While Rizwan took 26 innings to make 42 sixes, Suryakumar has broken the record batting five times fewer. Surya is up to second position in the latest ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings with 801 rating points after his half-century in the third and final T20I against Australia in Hyderabad. 1. Suryakumar Yadav 732 runs, 40.66 average, 180.29 strike rate, 2022. 2. Shikhar Dhawan 689 runs, 40.52 average, 147.22 strike rate, 2018. 3. Virat Kohli 641 runs, 106.83 average, 140.26 strike rate, 2016. 4. Rohit Sharma 590 runs, 36.87 average, 147.5 strike rate, 2018. 5. Rohit Sharma 497 runs, 29.23 average, 131.48 strike rate, 2016. 6.

Reliance Jio to offer unlimited free

MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: The confusion over venues and match dates, and the change of guard at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to push down sponsorship revenues of Indian Premier League (IPL) team franchises by as much as 20%, making it difficult for them to meet their revenue targets. While the schedule for the first leg of the IPL in the UAE has been finalised, the BCCI is yet to provide a schedule for the rest of the tournament. 
 
A senior executive of a North India-based IPL team said till there is complete clarity on venues and match dates, sponsors are not willing to sign the agreement. “It is hampering the process,” said the executive, requesting anonymity. “I am under a lot stress. I really need to try and close some deals to achieve our target.” 
 
“It is a difficult task to secure sponsorship this year. Talks started a long time back but potential sponsors want to know the final schedule,” said the chief executive of a South India-based IPL team. The twenty20 tournament has gone through a tumultuous phase in the last few months because of the betting and spot-fixing controversy that broke out last year. While the Supreme Court last week allowed the IPL to go ahead unhindered, it replaced cricket board president N Srinivasan with former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar as incharge of IPL affairs. 
 
The IPL schedule has had to be tweaked as the government refused to provide security at the venues on account of the Lok Sabha elections beginning on April 7. While the first 16 days of the tournament, which starts on April 16, will be played in the UAE, there is still uncertainty over where the rest of the matches will be held. Bangladesh has been kept as a standby venue for the second phase from May 1-12. 
 
BCCI said recently that it has got clearances from various state governments to hold matches in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Kochi and Visakhapatnam, though no final dates for matches have been announced. “Till such time there is a clear cut understanding of the schedule, it will be difficult to close deals. We usually go by historic data on TRPs to decide on the valuation of a deal,” said Shashin Devsare, executive director at Karbonn Mobile, which has not yet signed a sponsorship deal with any team. “How will we decide TRPs for new venues where IPL matches have never been played?” he asks. 
 
That is the dilemma teams are stuck in. Advertisers usually decide a year in advance. “Following that, they get at least three months before the tournament to plan their advertising around IPL. There is no time this year,” said a senior media planner. 
 
Advertisers such as Pepsi, Idea Cellular, BookMyShow, Garnier, Nokia, Reebok and Aircel have been associated with IPL teams over the last few years. “I can understand the advertisers’ anxiety regarding team and on-ground sponsorship. IPL is a premium property and, therefore, marketers need at least six weeks lead time to plan their advertising around the event. If that is not possible, return on investment could be a huge issue,” said Basabdutta Chowdhury, CEO at Platinum Media, which is a part of Madison Media Group of agencies Two senior media planners from India’s top two media agencies said they anticipated the troubles and have advised their clients to stay away from team and onground sponsorship and to instead invest only in on-air advertising. 
 
“From a short term perspective, there will be a big impact if things remain in flux. But it could be a case of short-term pain for long-term gain,” said Unni Krishnan, managing director of brand consultancy Brand Finance India, referring to the intervention by the Supreme Court. A course correction by the court, said Krishnan, will safeguard the long-term value of the league. 
 
“The way it was going, it was headed for the catastrophic phase,” Krishnan said, adding that sponsorship revenues for franchises could be shaved off by about 15-20% this year. The uncertainty around IPL has also forced some advertisers to pull out of IPL and invest in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Chirantan Chandran, senior principal partner at Dentsu Media India, said, “When the uncertainties with IPL reached its peak, ou r client went ahead to put its kitty in T20 World Cup.”

"Every prank we've gone for, we've done," Dunn told Business Insider. The duo has performed five stunts together, but Dunn said he has gatecrashed as many as 20 sporting events in his life, including gaining access to the football pitch at the 2014 World Cup finals.The most important thing when sneaking into a venue, Dunn said, is to be confident and commit to your challenge. "Go for it. Otherwise, what's the point?"Dunn is famous for helping fellow gatecrasher Karl Power pose with Manchester United right before a match against Bayern Munich in the 2001 UEFA Champions League quarter final.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">YoutubeKarl Power made it onto the pitch in Munich to pose with Manchester United in 2001.</div></div></div>"There wasn't really much thought that went into it," Dunn said. "Initially, we wanted to go to the finals in Milan, but United had already lost one match and we knew they'd be kicked out and we'd lose our chance."According to the legendary prankster, knowing your venue inside out is crucial. "You need to do a recce of the place first. It's absolutely important." Dunn had already been to Bayern Munich's stadium before on a filming project, so he already knew how to get his friend onto the pitch.Preparation was also key when it came to playing at Wimbledon.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://pictures.reuters.com/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult&amp;VBID=2C0FCIK7BR4XR&amp;SMLS=1&amp;RW=1708&amp;RH=861#/SearchResult&amp;VBID=2C0FCIK7BR4XR&amp;SMLS=1&amp;RW=1708&amp;RH=861&amp;POPUPPN=1&amp;POPUPIID=2C0408303AZG">Reuters Photographer/Reuters</a>Tommy Dunn helped Karl Power get onto Wimbledon's Centre Court.</div></div></div>In 2002, a year after the stunt in Munich, Dunn's son (also called Tommy) and Power <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/wimbledon/2071313.stm" target="_blank">appeared on Centre Court for 20 seconds</a> and managed to play a rally before Tim Henman appeared for his scheduled match.Dunn Senior took time to practice with Power and his son ahead of the tournament so that the pair could stay on the court for as long as possible when they broke in.

The pair were even asked to hand over their passports to prevent them attending England away games.Once the ban was lifted, Dunn came straight back to his hoaxes. The key to sneaking into a venue, he said, is to look the part. In 2015, Dunn made waves in Manchester when <a href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/prankster-rubs-shoulders-lionel-messi-8750454" target="_blank">he sneaked into Barcelona football club's coach before a match against Manchester City</a>.

 Following the India Test series, Australia will play England and India in an one-day tri-series from January 16-February 1 ahead of the World Cup, which is staged in Australia and <keyword id="22501" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="New-Zealand">New Zealand</keyword> and begins on February 14. 
 
"The 2014-15 schedule looks very different to previous summers due in large part to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 that we are co-hosting with New Zealand for the first time in 23 years," Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland said. 
 Reacting to the schedule, ECB chief David Collier released a statement where he said, "Following our seven-match ODI series in <keyword id="6355572" type="COUNTRY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Sri-Lanka">Sri Lanka</keyword> before Christmas, this tour will provide further excellent preparation for the England team prior to the ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

There was some controversy regarding the schedule when it was decided that the annual Australia Day match, normally played in Adelaide, was shifted to Sydney this summer. However, Sutherland said that the packed nature of the schedule and the fact that only four Tests were been played this summer compared to five or six meant some logistical challenges in the programmers. 
 
The Adelaide Oval has been redeveloped and Sutherland said that there are exciting times ahead for the venue. "The new ground was partly completed last summer and we saw the potential of it this winter with football underway, and we’re very excited about the prospects of holding international cricket at the Adelaide Oval. I am sure fans from Adelaide but also, as traditionally, fans from all over the country will flock to what will be a big summer of cricket there." 
 
The other change in the schedule will see Perth miss out on a Test match due to concerns regarding its ground facilities and size. Last September, speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Sutherland had said, "Though a traditional Test match venue with a proud history, the WACA ground has the smallest capacity of the five mainland Test venues and has historically attracted lower attendances. The WACA has been working hard to improve the facilities for its fans but it still requires significant improvements."
