Sourav Ganguly is going to be appointed as the Director of Cricket of Delhi Capitals, a top team in the Indian Premier League.

Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly will return to the IPL as director of cricket with Delhi Capitals in the edition starting in 2023, sources said on Tuesday.

The former India captain, who stepped down as BCCI president in October, also oversaw all the franchise’s matches with ILT20 team Dubai Capitals and SA T20 League team Pretoria Capitals.

“Yes, Sourav is back with Delhi Capitals from this year. Discussions and procedures are over. He has worked with franchises and has a good relationship with the owners. If he is going to work in IPL, it will always be with DC,”

It is understood that Delhi Capitals’ recent auction selections included the selections of head coach Ricky Ponting and Ganguly. Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant was involved in an accident in a recent horrific car accident, which was not good news for the Delhi team. It will also affect the batsman Ricky Ponting in the execution of the tournament plan.

The skipper is interchangeable but Punt is a very good wicketkeeper. The workload of a wicketkeeper in the T20 format is very high. The next problem Delhi Capitals will face is not being able to replace a good wicketkeeper.

සෞරව් ගංගුලි හට දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් කණ්ඩායමෙහි හි නව තනතුරක්

ඉන්දීය ප්‍රිමිය ලීග් හි ප්‍රධාන පෙලේ කණ්ඩායමක් වන දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් හී ක්‍රිකට් අධ්‍යක්ෂකවරයා ලෙස සෞරව් ගංගුලි පත් කිරීමට නියමිතය.

හිටපු BCCI සභාපති Sourav Ganguly 2023 වර්ශයේදී ආරම්භ වන සංස්කරණයේදී දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් සමඟ ක්‍රිකට් අධ්‍යක්ෂ ලෙස IPL වෙත නැවත පැමිණෙනු ඇති බවට ආරංචි මාර්ග අඟහරුවාදා ප්‍රකාශ කළේය.

ඔක්තෝම්බර් මාසයේදී BCCI සභාපති ධුරයෙන් ඉවත් වූ හිටපු ඉන්දීය නායකයා, ILT20 කණ්ඩායම වන ඩුබායි කැපිටල්ස් සහ SA T20 ලීග් කණ්ඩායම වන Pretoria Capitals සමඟ ෆ්‍රැන්චයිස් හි සියලුම තරගද අධීක්ෂණය කරනු ලැබීය.

“ඔව්, සෞරව් මේ වසරේ සිට දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් සමඟ නැවත පැමිණේ. සාකච්ඡා සහ විධික්‍රම අවසන්. ඔහු ෆ්‍රැන්චයිස් සමඟ වැඩ කර ඇත, අයිතිකරුවන් සමඟ හොඳ සබදතාවයක් පවතී. ඔහු IPL හි වැඩ කරීමට නියමිත නම්, එය සැමවිටම DC සමඟ වනු ඇත, ”

දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් හි මෑත කාලීන වෙන්දේසි තේරීම් වල ප්‍රධාන පුහුණුකරු රිකී පොන්ටින් සහ ගංගුලිගේ තේරීම් තිබූ බව වටහා ගත හැකිය. පසුගියදා සිදු වූ බිහිසුනු රිය අනතුරින් දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් හි නායක රිශබ් පන්ට් අනතුරකට භාජනය වූ අතර, එට දිල්ලි කණ්ඩායමට එතරම් සුභදායී ආරංචියක් නොවීය. එය පූහුණුකරු රිකී පොන්ටින් හටද තරගාවලි සැලැස්ම ක්‍රියාත්මක කිරීමේදී බලපානු ඇත.

නායකයා මාරු කල හැකි නමුත් පන්ට් ඉතා දක්ෂ කඩුලු රකින්නෙකු වේ. විස්සයි විස්ස තරග රටාවේ කඩුලු රකින්නෙකුගේ කාර්‍යබාරය ඉතා ඉහළ මට්ටමක පවතී. දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස් මීලගට මුහුණ දෙනු ලබන ප්‍රශනය වන්නේ දක්ෂ කඩුලු රකින්නෙකු කණ්ඩායමට ආදේෂ කිරීමට නොහැකි වීමයි.

டெல்லி கேபிடல்ஸில் சவுரவ் கங்குலிக்கு புதிய பதவி கிடைத்துள்ளது

இந்தியன் பிரீமியர் லீக்கில் முன்னணி அணியான டெல்லி கேப்பிடல்ஸ் கிரிக்கெட்டின் இயக்குநராக சவுரவ் கங்குலி நியமிக்கப்படவுள்ளார்.

பிசிசிஐயின் முன்னாள் தலைவர் சவுரவ் கங்குலி, 2023ஆம் ஆண்டு தொடங்கும் ஐபிஎல் தொடரில் டெல்லி கேபிடல்ஸ் அணியுடன் கிரிக்கெட் இயக்குநராகத் திரும்புவார் என்று தகவல்கள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

அக்டோபரில் BCCI தலைவர் பதவியில் இருந்து விலகிய முன்னாள் இந்திய கேப்டன், ILT20 அணியான துபாய் கேபிடல்ஸ் மற்றும் SA T20 லீக் அணியான பிரிட்டோரியா கேபிடல்ஸ் உடனான அனைத்து உரிமையின் போட்டிகளையும் மேற்பார்வையிட்டார்.

“ஆம், சௌரவ் இந்த ஆண்டு முதல் டெல்லி கேபிடல்ஸ் அணிக்கு திரும்பியுள்ளார். விவாதங்களும் நடைமுறைகளும் முடிந்துவிட்டன. அவர் உரிமையாளர்களுடன் பணிபுரிந்தார் மற்றும் உரிமையாளர்களுடன் நல்ல உறவைக் கொண்டுள்ளார். அவர் ஐபிஎல்-ல் வேலை செய்யப் போகிறார் என்றால், அது எப்போதும் DC உடன் இருக்கும்.

டெல்லி கேப்பிடல்ஸின் சமீபத்திய ஏலத் தேர்வுகளில் தலைமைப் பயிற்சியாளர் ரிக்கி பாண்டிங் மற்றும் கங்குலியின் தேர்வுகளும் அடங்கும் என்பது புரிந்துகொள்ளத்தக்கது. சமீபத்தில் நடந்த பயங்கர கார் விபத்தில் டெல்லி கேப்பிடல்ஸ் கேப்டன் ரிஷப் பந்த் விபத்தில் சிக்கினார், இது டெல்லி அணிக்கு நல்ல செய்தியாக இல்லை. இது போட்டித் திட்டத்தை செயல்படுத்துவதில் பேட்ஸ்மேன் ரிக்கி பாண்டிங்கையும் பாதிக்கும்.

கேப்டன் மாற்றத்தக்கவர் ஆனால் பன்ட் ஒரு சிறந்த விக்கெட் கீப்பர். டி20 வடிவத்தில் விக்கெட் கீப்பரின் பணிச்சுமை மிக அதிகம். டெல்லி கேப்பிட்டல்ஸ் எதிர்கொள்ளும் அடுத்த பிரச்சனை ஒரு நல்ல விக்கெட் கீப்பரை மாற்ற முடியாதது.

Sri Lanka Under-19 Women extended their impressive run in the Tri-Series with a composed four-wicket victory over Australia Women Under-19 cricket team at Bill Pippen Oval Today.

After being put in to bat, Australia U-19 struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Sri Lankan bowling attack. Ayla Johnson top-scored with 18 off 29 balls, while Alyssa Dermody added a quick 13. However, regular wickets halted their progress as they finished on a modest 91 for 9 in 20 overs. Limansa Thilakarathne led the bowling effort with an impressive 3 for 26, well supported by Chamudi Praboda, who claimed 2 for 21.

In response, Sri Lanka Women Under-19 cricket team chased down the target with 92 for 6 in 19.3 overs. Despite a few setbacks, Pramudi Methsara anchored the innings with an unbeaten 21 off 17 balls, while Danodya Sewmini contributed a steady 14. Australia’s Filippa Suesee (3 for 18) and Ira Aery (2 for 13) fought hard, but Sri Lanka held their nerve.

Jaswar Umar, President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for the presidency of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Umar becomes the fourth candidate in the race, joining Shirantha Peiris, Deva Henry, and Asanga Seneviratne, who are also contesting for the top position in the country’s Olympic body.

His time as football chief has created divided opinions among sports professionals who evaluate his performance. On one hand, Sri Lanka’s national team has shown improvement in international results, including a rise in the FIFA rankings from 204 to 191, along with notable performances against stronger opposition.

However, his approach has also faced criticism. Stakeholders have raised concerns over the increased reliance on Sri Lankan-origin overseas players, with claims that it has limited opportunities for local talent. The long-term vision for developing youth and building grassroots football programs has become a subject of public inquiry.

Umar now aims to advance his career through NOC while he leads Sri Lankan football with both positive results and ongoing public criticism of his work.

The upcoming election will become a competitive battle because four candidates will vie for control of a key position which holds major power within the country’s sports system.
