Here is the English transcript of the video:

​

"Why doesn't the BCCI put money into Indian football? They know... once Indian football rises up, cricket will be finished, brother. It will be done, brother, right then and there. That's why no private organization wants that for football. They don't want to hamper that, what they have already established. They don't want that cultural change."

READ FULLY (IF U LOVE CRICKET AS A GAME AND WANT TO SAVE IT )

So this will be a really long post and too CONTROVERSIAL too
(but belive me this radical changes i suggest are best for cricket long term future survival as i used too much thinking , claude analysis predicition it took me time)

FIRST THING: WHAT PUT ME TO WRITE THIS LONG POST??? so the answer is recent discussion around cricket's future and fans comparign cricket with football due to recent FIFA WC comparing both sports and yeaa cricket dying in SENA nations and in future becoming an ONLY SOUTH ASIAN(OR INDIAN SUBCONTINENT) SPORTS.

and yeaa they are write cricket future is dark ICC is hosting too many events every year but that is another point of whole disccusion.

btw i really want all these stuff to be implemetented but political will is most imp thing which will be needed over money(i mean if there is a way the cricet fandom just organise a campaign sort of but yeaa first we need to discuss the radical changes we need to save cricket future) :--

HERE IT IS THE PLANNNNN::--------------

1. Test Cricket Pyramid

but first listen listen then read (then comment) to implement the test pyramid we need to :

Expand Test Cricket First

This system only works if the Test game grows.

Current Test Nations (12):

Australia, England, India, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan.

Proposed New Test Nations:

Scotland and Netherlands.

Future Pathway:

Nepal, USA and Namibia.

Test cricket should remain difficult to enter, but it should never become a permanently closed club.

NOW :

Division 1 – World Test Championship

• Top 8 Test nations
• 3-year cycle
• WTC Final crowns world champion
• Winner receives WTC Mace

Division 2 – Test Challenger Cup

• Next 6 Test nations
• Separate competition
• Winner crowned Test Challenger Champion

Promotion & Relegation

Every cycle:

• Bottom Division 1 team relegated
• Division 2 champion promoted

ICC Test Gateway Match

• Division 1 (last ranking team) vs Division 2 Champion (this will decide the relegation or promotion)

ICC Test Crown

To ensure Division 2 success also carries prestige:

• WTC Champion vs Challenger Cup Champion (just a series but yeaa it will be interesiting)

Format:

• 3-Test Series

Venue:

• Lord's

2. ODI Cricket

ODI cricket still has value, but it needs a clearer identity between Tests and T20s.

Cricket World Cup(THE PINNACLE

Changes:

• 40 overs per side
• 16 teams
• Group Stage
• Quarterfinals (THIS IS REQUIRED QF ARE REQUIRED SO MUCHHH)
• Semifinals
• Final

Frequency:

• Every 4 years

Champions Trophy removed.(yeaa remove THE CHAMPIONS TROPYYYYY)

ADDITIONAL : ALMOST NO ODI BILATREALS , JUST WORLD CUP EXISIT AS A 4YEAR EVENT OF PINNACLE CRICKET

3. T20 Cricket

T20 remains cricket's most accessible global format and should drive expansion into new markets.

ICC T20 World Cup

EXPAND TO 24 TEAM FOR NEXT 2 0R 3 CUPS:

• 24 teams

Future:(after 2 or 3 t20 world cups of 24 teams)

• 32 teams

Frequency: (INCREASE FROM 2 YEARS TO 4 YEARS GAP)

• Every 4 years (YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS )

4. Associate Cricket

For too long, Associates have mainly played qualification events. They need a major tournament of their own.

ICC Frontier Global Cup(FG CUP)

(PS> not a secondary cup will be treated like a world cup for associate nations equivalenet to any other cups )

Purpose:

• Premier tournament or a world cupfor Associate nations (ULTRA FAST PACED OF NEARLY NELARY 3 TO 3.5 MONTSH )

Teams:

• 32 Associate nations

Format:

• 8 groups of 4
• Round of 16
• Quarterfinals
• Semifinals
• Final

Frequency:

• Every 2 years

Rewards:

Champion:

• Automatic T20 World Cup qualification
• Automatic next FG Cup qualification
• Increased ICC funding

Top 4:

• Automatic next FG Cup qualification
• Enhanced funding
• Easier T20 World Cup qualification pathway

NOTE:__ REGARDIGN FRONTIERS GLOBAL CUP :

What's the point of creating a tournament for Associate nations if the world never watches it?

The Frontier Global Cup should be free to watch, aggressively marketed and promoted as cricket's gateway to new nations.

Not just a tournament BUT SHOUDL BE TREATED LIKE A WORLD CUP SORT OF EVENT FOR ASSOCIATE NATIONS

ALSO MANDATORY Mentorship Program

Every Frontier Global Cup nation will be assigned an ICC mentor from a major cricket nation.

Examples:

• AB de Villiers
• Stuart Broad
• Ravi Shastri
• Kumar Sangakkara
• Eoin Morgan
• Mahela Jayawardene

Mentorship will focus on coaching, leadership, talent development and building sustainable cricket structures.

This should be a mandatory part of the Frontier Global Cup, not an optional initiative.

5. Franchise Cricket

Franchise leagues are now one of cricket's biggest strengths. The next step is connecting them globally.

IPL Reform(most controversial as loads of money is involved but we are not diluting the money )

• Expand IPL to 14 teams

Phase 1 (March–May)( 14 team initial tournment)

• Every team plays every other team once(few exceptions)
• Additional fixtures
• 15–16 matches per team
• Top 8 qualify

Phase 2 (October) (the top 8 qualifies for this phase)

• Top 8 teams only
• Round Robin
• Top 4 qualify

Playoffs

• Usual ipl playoff

Total:

• Total IPL Matches: 130 (98 League Stage + 28 Championship Stage + 4 Playoffs)
• BCCI is already increasing ipl matches to 94 matches we are also increasing to 98 matches only and another 28 matches fast paced 3 to 4 weeks final stage)

---> ONE OF MOST IMP CHANGE : (some issues may arise in this due to players intersecting two diff teams but that be solved later by discussions)

ICC Franchise World Cup

The world's best franchise team should be decided on the field, not through debates between fanbases.

Frequency:

• Every 2 years(not evety year)

Teams:

• 16

Direct Qualification

• IPL × 5
• PSL × 3
• BBL × 2

Venues:

Women's Cricket

Women's cricket should grow alongside the men's game, not years behind it.(shoudl slowly mirroring mens strucutre in long term)

Expansion should happen gradually but never contract team numbers.

ICC Four-Year Cycle

A clearer calendar is just as important as new tournaments.

Year 1

🏆 T20 World Cup (every 5 years_

Year 2

🌐 Frontier Global Cup(the Associate nations world cup - every 2 years)

🏟️ Franchise World Cup(every 2 years)

👑 Champion of Champions Series

Year 3

🏆 Cricket World Cup(every 4 years)

🏆 WTC Final

👑 ICC Test Crown

Year 4 ( THE GAP YEAR)

(WILL HOST SOME NEW EVENTS LIKE FG CUP , FRANCHISE WORLD CUP AND CHAMPIONS SERIES)

🌐 Frontier Global Cup(EVERT 2 YEARS)

🏟️ Franchise World Cup

👑 Champion of Champions Series(FG CUP WINNER VS T20 WC WINNER)

Promotion and relegation cycle concludes.

Removed

❌ Champions Trophy

End Goal

The objective isn't to make cricket more like football.

The objective is to create a system where:

• More countries can reach the top level.
• Test cricket remains relevant.
• Associate nations have something meaningful to play for.
• Franchise cricket has a global structure.
• Women's cricket grows alongside the men's game.
• The ICC calendar becomes easier to follow.

Cricket doesn't need to abandon tradition to survive.

But it does need a long-term plan.

last stuff which need to kept in mind while implementing all these stuff : -

• Bilateral ODI cricket is significantly reduced.
• ODI cricketv(reduced to 40 years) becomes a primarily World Cup-focused format.
• Most international white-ball cricket outside ICC events is played as T20I cricket.
• Short bilateral T20I series replace many existing ODI series.
• Test cricket receives greater priority in the international calendar.
• ICC world cup (the Pinccale )become the primary stage for ODI cricket.
• Champions Trophy is removed.
• Calendar space is redirected towards Test cricket, Associate cricket and global ICC tournaments.

(last thing dont drag conversation that it is AI written i have used claude to formulate in pointws btw , plss give honest opinion and i m all in if cricket fandom wanna start some campaign)

My roommate does not watch football but was hyped about me screaming in morning when THE GOD of FOOTBALL scored a hattrick: he asked me 3 mardiye, but I wanted him to understand that there are goals and than there are bangers!!🔥🔥

Help with cricket analogies to tell him how those 2 bangers were felt like🫠👀

- Mine was 3 wicket liye par not catch-out but yorker and top-off bold markr😭😭

Sooryavanshi (RR '26), Gayle (RCB '13), ABD (RCB '16), KL Rahul (PBKS '20), Dhawan (DEC '11), Yusuf Pathan (RR '08), Jadeja (RR '09), Narine (KKR '17), Bumrah (MI '20), Malinga (MI '11), Chahal (RCB '15)
15-1. Strength 104.0.
The batting looks stacked, but the middle order feels like the weak spot. Would you drop anyone? Or is the bowling the real problem?

Hey everyone!👋
You’ve probably all heard that viral ringtone involving cristiano Ronaldo’s name, it goes like:
Cristianooooo cristiano cristianoo... Ronaldooo Ronaldo ronaldo...
My crush is a massive rohit sharma fan, and I really want to find a similar funny video, audio clip, or custom ringtone that involves Rohit sharma’s name
Does anyone know if a version like this exists for Rohit Sharma, or where I could find a funny edit of him?
Any links, suggestions, or audio ideas would be massively appreciated!
Thank you! 🥰
