"The All-India Women's Selection Committee has picked India's squad for the tri-series in South Africa starting in January and the upcoming ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023," the BCCI said in a statement on Wednesday. The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 is set to begin on February 10, 2023, with Team India set to begin their campaign on February 12 against Pakistan in Cape Town.

Rohit, who injured his thumb on the Bangladesh tour, will return to lead the Indian team in ODI series against Sri Lanka. "The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked national squads for the upcoming Sri Lanka Tour of India to be held in January 2023. The tour comprises three T20Is and as many ODIs," the BCCI said in a statement on Tuesday.

Three IPL franchises -- Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals -- own teams in the International League T20 (ILT20) in the United Arab Emirates while six teams -- Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, SunRisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals - are involved in the upcoming league in South Africa (SA20).

BCCI top brass has discussed the plan with Pandya and the Gujarat Titans captain has sought some time to respond, stated a report in indiatoday.in. Rohit Sharma led India at the T20 World Cup, a year after the Virat Kohli-led side crashed out in the Super 12 stage. India managed to go past the Super 12 stage in Australia but they were hammered by England in a one-sided semi-final.

With K.L. Rahul not opening in the second ODI despite Rohit Sharma suffering a blow to his left thumb causing him to bat at number nine, it's clear that they now see him as a middle-order option. Fair to say, Rahul had been a consistent name in the middle-order, thanks to his 73 against Bangladesh in the first ODI.

They had batters who fitted in the T20 attacking mould, people who were looking to find their feet in ODI cricket and even Hardik Pandya was fit again to bring the necessary balance to the side, which was experimenting a lot with players and had captaincy duties handled by eight cricketers, partly due to hectic cricketing schedule.

The already-rich BCCI added some big money with the addition of two new IPL teams (Rs 12,715 crore) and media rights sale (Rs 48,390 crore) in 2022, which was lauded by the well-wishers of Indian cricket. It's because the earned money is eventually divided among the stakeholders and reaches every deserving individual of the Indian cricket ecosystem.

"The Governing Council of the IPL invites bids from reputed entities to acquire the Media Rights for the Women's Indian Premier League Seasons 2023-2027, through a tender process," BCCI said in a statement The 'Invitation to Tender' (ITT) bid document will be made available at the cost of Rs 5 lakh plus applicable GST.

Yadav was initially named in India's Test squad for the two-match series against Bangladesh, starting from December 14. But with fast-bowlers Kuldeep Sen and Deepak Chahar ruled out due to injuries, he had to be called up for the third and final ODI against Bangladesh. Yadav had been in India's squad on tour of New Zealand, but did not get any match to play. He last played in an ODI against South Africa at New Delhi on October 11, picking 4/18 and got the Player of the Match award for playing a pivotal role in a 2-1 series victory for the hosts.

India men's 2022/23 international home season comprising nine ODIs, six T20Is and four Tests will commence with a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in January. The matches will be played on January 3, 5 and 7 in Mumbai, Pune and Rajkot respectively. After that, three ODIs between the two teams will be played on January 10, 12 and 15 at Guwahati, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram respectively.
