🏏 Cricket Zone USA Warns of Counterfeit E4 Products in Guyana Cricket Zone USA, the makers of E4 cricket gear, has issued a warning about counterfeit products being sold in Guyana. Ravi Etwaroo, the company’s Managing Director, cautioned that fake E4 gear being sold at unauthorized shops not only affects player performance but also harms the brand's hard-earned reputation. In March 2024, the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport’s global governing body, officially approved E4 for use in all formats of international cricket, including Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. This endorsement is a testament to the high standards E4 meets, as its gear has passed rigorous testing for international play. However, with counterfeit products flooding the market, there's a risk that customers may start to believe Cricket Zone makes poor-quality gear, which could damage the trust and reputation the brand has earned. Etwaroo stressed that Giftland Mall and Cricnation592 in Berbice are the only official retailers in Guyana, and encouraged customers to purchase directly from Cricket Zone USA for authentic products. "We found this out only recently, and it’s a matter of grave concern for us, because it puts our brand in a bad light,” Etwaroo expressed. For retailers and distributors, the increase in counterfeit sales is a clear reminder to protect your brand and make sure customers are getting only authentic, high-quality products.

For Cricket to truely become Football type, a major factor is missing - Relegation system. In absence of a relegation - promotion system, it is still a closed circuit. This impacts the aspirational value of the sport (at teams / small organizations level) In its current state, we will never have a leister city (2015 story) or a ongoing Wrexham story. I think this is the missing piece which should also be talked about while discussing growth of Cricket.

Excellent way of thinking

As a lifelong cricket enthusiast and stakeholder, here's my perspective on the future trajectory of cricket compared to football's established footprint: Franchise Model Success in Football: Football's franchise model promotes rapid adoption and growth through centralized management, marketing, and financial investment. Global Tournaments and International Rivalries: Both sports thrive on international competitions that draw massive global audiences, such as the FIFA World Cup and ICC World Cup. Cricket's Popularity and ICC Membership: With 108 ICC member countries, cricket has a substantial footprint and is the second most viewed sport globally, despite varying levels of popularity. Infrastructure Challenges: Football's minimal infrastructure needs make it easier to adopt at the grassroots level. Cricket requires specialized facilities, which can be a barrier in regions with limited resources. Cricket's Growth in the United States: The U.S. is a key example of cricket's potential expansion. Efforts to build infrastructure, foster local talent, and generate interest are underway, with initiatives like Major League Cricket (MLC) Comparative Advantage of Football: Football's simplicity and global appeal have enabled its widespread adoption. Cricket needs strategic investments in infrastructure and marketing, focusing on engaging formats like T20. To emulate football's success, cricket stakeholders in associate nations should: -->Develop Infrastructure: Build accessible cricket facilities of varying degrees. -->Engage Youth: Introduce cricket in schools and communities and leverage various media channels to popularize the sport -->Participate in Franchise Ecosystems: Actively engage, promote and contribute to local and national franchise leagues. Summary: For cricket to reach the success and widespread adoption of football, several factors must come together, including the efficiency of national governing bodies such as USA Cricket. With advancements in technology and unprecedented levels of knowledge sharing, the next decade presents a prime opportunity for cricket to achieve this growth.

The Indian cricket team's participation in the ICC Champion's Trophy in Pakistan next year is contingent upon approval from the Modi government, according to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla stressed that the team will only tour Pakistan if the government grants permission. Shukla emphasized that the BCCI adheres to governmental directives regarding team engagements, indicating that political clearance is essential for the tour to proceed. This development highlights the complex relationship between sports and politics in the region. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is proactively devising security arrangements for the Indian team ahead of the Champions Trophy scheduled for February next year. The PCB has proposed Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi as potential venues to the International Cricket Council (ICC) and will seek feedback from participating nations. The PCB's efforts aim to ensure a secure and successful tournament, but the uncertainty surrounding India's participation underscores the political tensions that often impact sporting events in the region. . . . #PCB #Pakistan #Pakistancricketteam #BCCI #India #championstrophy #tribunetrends

Reports from Indian media indicate that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is considering contingency plans for hosting the Champions Trophy 2025. It has been suggested that if the Indian government prohibits the national team from traveling to Pakistan, the ICC may relocate India’s matches to the UAE. Additionally, the ICC is reportedly exploring options to move the entire tournament out of Pakistan, with South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the UAE as potential venues. Sources reveal that this decision follows the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) reluctance to send the team to Pakistan. As the tournament dates approach, the ICC has prepared budgets for all three contingency plans. Pakistan was awarded hosting rights for the Champions Trophy back in 2021, but there have been ongoing speculations about the tournament not taking place in the country. Despite this, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has assured that the entire tournament will occur in Pakistan, with all participating teams confirmed to tour. Preparations are already underway, with the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and the National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi undergoing renovations. However, these latest developments could significantly impact the PCB and Pakistan cricket as a whole, as the tournament is set to run from February 19 to March 9, with matches planned in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. #ChampionsTrophy2025 #ICC #PakistanCricket #BCCI #CricketNews #SportsUpdate Visit Our Website: https://bankopedia.pk/
