It's In TeH GaMe !!!

Good news for all English fans ! Now they can watch their heroes play in the Indian Premier League for three weeks.

The 21-day block is a compromise position after Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, said he wanted English players to be available for at least four weeks of the event while the ECB were keen for just a two-week release.

The auction is scheduled between the end of West Indies tour and the starting of a return series at home.

I guess IPL is only going to improve much more because of this. It's fan following will surely increase too.

Sky News on Wednesday reported that Kevin Pietersen has resigned from his post of English cricket team captain over the rift . And the worse was yet to follow. After KP, the news came that Peter Moores has also decided to quit from his job(coach).

It seemed quite certain that this will take place, ever since Pietersen was appointed as the captain 5 months ago. The relationship between the two never looked good as there was so many clashes between their views.

Now what would be interesting to see is who ECB is really going to appoint as the skipper and coach. With only a couple of weeks left for England to leave to West Indies for a test and an ODI series, ECB now has even less time.

In my opinion, ECB will have the toughest time selecting the new captain. A few options that I can see are Strauss,Flintoff or if they can persuade Collingwood,who gave up this job five months ago.

And as for the coach, there are a couple of choices, like Graham Ford, Andy Flower. There might be many more, though I can't remember it right now.
