Rajasthan Royals not playing any games at their home venue of Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, for the second year running, mentor Rahul Dravid said that the team will miss at playing in Jaipur. RR will be playing all their games of IPL 8 in Ahmedadad and Mumbai.Dravid, who faced a very tumultuous phase as a captain of RR when his team members were caught in the IPL spot-fixing scandal two seasons ago, also called for stricter laws, even criminal, to be put in place by the country's lawmakers to deal with this issue in IPL
"Ahmedabad and Mumbai are home. We will miss playing at Jaipur. We are more used to conditions there, but we are excited to play at CCI (Brabourne Stadium). We are looking forward to exciting cricket. The (RR) squad is good. It's nice to have whole squad here. All boys here after the World CupCongratulations to Aussie boys for winning," said Dravid, who, along with captain Shane Watson, Ajinkya Rahane Steve Smith and Ajinkya Rahane unveiled RR's new jersey at Cricket Club of India on Monday.
Dravid, who faced a very tumultuous phase as a captain of RR when his team members were caught in the IPL spot-fixing scandal two seasons ago, also called for stricter laws, even criminal, to be put in place by the country's lawmakers to deal with this issue in IPL.
"Irrespective of whoever is in charge of IPL, one of the most important things is that we need to have stricter laws that deal with issues like match fixing, spot fixing," said the former India captain. "And there should be consequences when people make mistakes and are proven guilty."
"Our Team need to have those laws in place that in the long term act as a deterrent. For anything like robbery, theft and cheating there are laws and strict consequences (for breaking them). Those consequences need to happen from lawmakers. You need to go into areas of (these things) almost to be treated as a criminal offence. That's my belief," said Dravid.
England started their tour of the Caribbean in fine style by bowling out a St Kitts Invitational XI for 59 within the first session of this two-day match. While England will be more happy and more confident with their morning's work - their fielding, in particular, was excellent - the opposition offered by a side containing one 16-year-old and several players without first-class experience was woefully poor.
Indeed, it tells you everything you need to know about the St Kitts performance that a stray dog that ran on to the playing area during the morning session provided more resistance to leaving the pitch than any of the batsmen.
But England will be encouraged by the bowling of Ben Stokes, who taken 3- wickets in 5- balls at one stage, and all but guaranteed his place in the side for the first Test in Antigua in a week. It also seems certain that Jonathan Trott will be in that side. Trott, named as opening batsman in this game ahead of Adam Lyth, is now in pole position to return to Test cricket for the first time since November 2013.
The selection of Chris Jordan ahead of Liam Plunkett and Chris Wood - both of whom are fit - also showed an indication of England's plans for the Test side. Adil Rashid and James Tredwell would appear to be competing for a place as the lone spin bowler.
England mildly changed their policy by appointing Ian Bell as the team's official vice-captain throughout the tour. While Alastair Cook has, in the past, argued that appointing a vice-captain might discourage other senior players from offering their views or taking responsibility, Bell has been appointed in the hope that the responsibility brings out the best in him.
St Kitts never threatened to set a decent first innings total. James Anderson beat the bat regularly with the new ball before producing a gem that nipped away, defeated Sherwin Peters' footless grope and took the top of off stump, before Stokes, maintaining a probing line to left and right hander, claimed his wickets with Cook and Gary Ballance taking a succession of fine, low catches in the cordon.
KKR mystery spinner is back now eligible to play IPL 8.Sunil Narine who is in Kolkata but
missing Practise with the team members. He might be attending another onwe or
two test before Ipl starting in chennai. BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya
informed the same to Knight Riders chief executive Venky Mysore on Thursday
after Mysore dashed to Kolkata for a meeting.
Sunil Narine Passed the test which is taken in
chennai. The review committee from BCCI Mr s venkattraghavan, Mr Javagal
Srinath and Mr AV Jayaprakash examined the bowling of sunil Narine who has gone
under biomechanical assessment by ICC.
After reviewing his
bowling action the committee said that his name may will be removed from
warning bowlers list.
Now this will be
huge blow for KKR as the specialist bowler can play IPL 8 matches. Sunil Narine
has the best bowling economy and has leading wicket taker for Kolkata. Now this
will be difficult for MUMBAI Indians As they are facing their first match
against KKR on April 8.

Narine who is in Kolkata but missing Practise with the team members. He might

president Jagmohan Dalmiya informed the same to Knight Riders chief executive
Venky Mysore on Thursday after Mysore dashed to Kolkata for a meeting.
But the
reports from the Loughborough centre was submitted to BCCI for review and clearance from the
sub-committee dealing with his corrective actions, the BCCI wrote back to
Knight Riders saying Narine would have to undergo another round of tests at the
Sri Ramachandra University centre which is located in chennai , which opened last October. It meant the BCCI
was effectively cancelling the Loughborough report and they dont trust ICC.
