The BCCI has been served with 19 show-cause notices by India’s Directorate of Enforcement for alleged violations of the country’s Foreign Exchange Management Act [FEMA] totaling approximately Rs 1077.43 crores (US$ 207.52 million), according to a government report investigating the board and its management of the IPL.The BCCI’s alleged violations of the FEMA regulations are believed to have occurred when the BCCI moved the Twenty20 tournament to South Africa in 2009 amid security concerns caused by the holding of India’ s national elections at the same time as the IPL.Speaking in Parliament earlier on Tuesday, Ajay Maken, India’s sports minister, said that various government agencies have conducted inquiries into the allegations of irregularities by the BCCI.These include the FEMA violations totalling Rs 1077.43 crores, Income Tax assessments of Rs.118.04 crores and Rs.257.12 crores for 2007-08 and 2008-09 respectively (total Rs 375.16 crores) as well as the Service Tax department’s show cause notices involving an amount of Rs 159.12 crores to various service providers/ stakeholders in relation to the IPL for the recovery of service tax.The total payments being sought from the BCCI and its stakeholders amounts to more than Rs 1600 crores.The report states that the Income Tax department has withdrawn the tax exempt status of the board, and claimed back taxes amounting to Rs.118.04 crores and Rs.257.12 crores for the years 2007-08 and 2008-09 respectively. The tax exempt status had been removed because the BCCI had “amended its objects” – that is changed the basic definition of its functioning from June 1, 2006, an act which had required a fresh registration. The change had been noticed only when the BCCI’s tax assessment proceedings were being carried out for the year 2007-08. Given that there had been no fresh registration done since the changes, the government had stated that the BCCI’s old registration did not survive and neither could its tax exempt status.Government investigations are also being conducted into “the source of foreign investments in individual teams is being investigated and references through the Foreign Tax Division.” The report also stated that “preliminary investigations have shown prima facie evidence of monopolistic nature of working of BCCI and the companies involved” in awarding media rights for the IPL. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has therefore been instructed to investigate these issues under the provisions of the Competition Act, 2002.

Christian has strong chance to debut

Daniel Christian has a chance of making his debut in the Hobart Test as insurance against the risk of overextending the hosts’ youthful bowling attack

A commanding defeat of New Zealand inside four days will not stop Australia from considering a debut for the allrounder Daniel Christian as insurance against the risk of overextending the hosts’ youthful bowling attack in the second of back-to-back Test matches.Christian, 28, was placed on standby for the injured Ben Cutting on the final morning of a nine-wicket victory over New Zealand at the Gabba, and seems certain to join the team in Hobart when it arrives on Tuesday after enjoying a day off in Brisbane.The margin of Australia’s victory over the visitors may remove some of the urgency for the national selectors to rush back any of the injured quintet that missed selection for the first Test. Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris and Shaun Marsh are definitely out of the picture, while Shane Watson and Pat Cummins appear likely to be held back for the greater challenge of India, starting with the first Test on Boxing Day. This places Christian’s free-scoring batting and clever seam bowling very much in the frame for Hobart.”I think it is a good option to have both,” Michael Clarke, the Australia captain, said. “That’s probably why, because he gives us options and that’s what we’re looking at in regards to the wicket in Hobart. We don’t know what we’re going to get, it is always nice to have another option in regards to your bowling, I think a batsman that can bowl a bit.”I’ve used Huss [Michael Hussey] over the last few Tests, and he [Christian] has performed well for South Australia, so at this stage he’s been put on standby for Cuttsy, but he does present a few options, no doubt.”It is a fine reward for Christian, who is on top of the Sheffield Shield run tally this season with 475 at 59.37 for South Australia. Christian has also taken ten wickets this summer and was last year judged the most valuable player across all formats in Australian domestic cricket by the Australian Cricketers’ Association. Christian, 28, has played three Twenty20 internationals, all of which came in early 2010.Cutting was the unlucky bowler to miss out on a place in the first Test against New Zealand at the Gabba, where the selectors preferred Mitchell Starc and James Pattinson.He flew to Melbourne to play in Queensland’s Sheffield Shield game against Victoria but bowled only nine overs due to his injury. Scans revealed that Cutting had a small muscle tear in his side, which will sideline him for four to six weeks, ruling him out of consideration for at least the first two Tests of the India series.And due to the lack of Sheffield Shield cricket in January, when only the Big Bash League is on, Cutting is unlikely to be considered for any of the India Tests with no four-day cricket in which to prove himself.

'It is about putting the team first' – Michael Clarke

Michael Clarke declared Australia’s innings when he was on 329, giving up the chance to try and break Brian Lara’s world record. He said he wanted to put the team’s priorities first

Daniel Brettig at the SCG05-Jan-2012Where others saw records or dollar signs, Michael Clarke could only surmise Australia’s chances of victory. In declaring on 329 not out after a stand of 334 with Michael Hussey, Clarke gave his side half the match to round up India a second time, and had taken two choice wickets in the form of Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid before the close.Against a nation that has a well-entrenched fascination, even obsession, with individual run-scoring achievements, Clarke’s decision drew plenty of post-play questions about why he had not gone on in pursuit of Brian Lara’s 400, or even surpassed Don Bradman and Mark Taylor only five runs further on from his tally. But Clarke was adamant that the pursuit of the win came first.Michael Clarke: “It’s about respect, continuing to earn the public’s respect, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted.”•Getty Images

“I didn’t think about it at all, I didn’t have Don Bradman or Mark Taylor’s score in my head whatsoever,” Clarke said. “It was about trying to get the team to a number, a total I thought would be a good score to make a declaration, then have a crack this afternoon to get a couple of wickets.”I think it is about putting the team first, that’s why we play. What I love most about this game is seeing this team win. I’ve always been like that as a player and I’ll be no different as a captain. If it was best for the team to continue batting I would have continued to bat.”While he stopped short of such records, Clarke could be content with the highest Test score ever made at the SCG, surpassing RE Foster’s 287 for England more than a century ago. He said the magnitude of his innings would not sink in until the match ended, preferably in victory for his side.”I don’t think it’ll sink in properly until we win the Test match,” Clarke said. “That’s why we play, that was my goal walking out there today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked that I’ve managed to make 300-odd runs in this Test match, but the most important thing for me now is we win the Test.”That was a big part of the reason for my declaration. I spoke to Huss just before we declared and I really wanted him to make 150, he deserved it, and once he got that I thought now we have a 450-run lead, it is a good time to pull up stumps and try to get a couple of wickets tonight.”I didn’t expect to score 300 in one innings, so the fact I’ve done that I’m stoked, and [as for] all the other records, I’m happy where I sit to be honest.”Clarke said the most testing aspect of his innings was simply to sustain his energy and concentration over nearly two days of batting. His previous first-class best of 201 not out for New South Wales had receded a long way into the distance by the time he had finished.”Batting the amount of time for me [was the toughest thing]. I’ve never batted that long in any form of the game in any team in my career,” he said. “Physically I felt pretty good, when I came to the ground I felt pretty fresh, and my body felt in a pretty good position. It’s just the mental application and concentration that you need to have.”Clarke’s application has if anything been enhanced by the captaincy, and he is now doing great things in the role to earn the respect of his team and the Australian public. The former captain Mark Taylor has said vice-captaincy can be difficult when the leader is a figure a legendary as Allan Border or Ricky Ponting, but Clarke said he had appreciated the apprenticeship, too.”I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, it’s about respect, continuing to earn the public’s respect and that’s all I’ve ever wanted,” he said. “People are going to dislike me, that’s life, the way it is, but the most important thing for me, especially being the Australian captain now, you want your home fans to respect you, so that’s all I’ve ever asked for.”I enjoyed the vice-captaincy a lot. I thought it was fantastic to sit underneath Ricky and learn as much as I could from him, learn about leadership, learn about captaincy, learn about what it takes off the field to captain Australia. That probably opened my eyes to leadership more than anything else.”And I’ve enjoyed this challenge. It’s an honour and privilege to captain Australia, there’s a lot that goes with it, but I’m enjoying it at the moment. The team having some success obviously makes life a lot easier. We’ve got a lot of talent out there so that makes my job a lot easier as well.”Hussey’s own 150 was put in the shade by Clarke, much as anyone who batted any length of time with Don Bradman had been. But he said he had simply enjoyed the chance to bat alongside Clarke for 334 runs, and to witness the SCG’s highest individual tally from the other end.”I don’t really mind [being overshadowed]. I said to Pup out in the middle I was honoured and privileged to witness and be a part of that,” Hussey said. “It was a fantastic innings and one I’ll remember for a long time, I’m sure Pup will as well, and one that got our team into a very strong position in the Test match, that’s what I’ll remember about it.”

تشافي قبل مواجهة مانشستر يونايتد: برشلونة ليس مرشحًا للفوز بالدوري الأوروبي

أكد تشافي هيرنانديز المدير الفني لفريق كرة القدم الأول بنادي برشلونة، على صعوبة مواجهة مانشستر يونايتد في الدوري الأوروبي، مشيدًا في الوقت ذاته بالإنجليزي ماركوس راشفورد.

وسيلاقي برشلونة نظيره الإنجليزي، على ملعب سبوتيفاي كامب نو، غدًا الخميس، في ذهاب دور الـ32 الإقصائي ببطولة الدوري الأوروبي، بعدما حل برشلونة ثالثًا في مجموعته بدوري الأبطال، بينما تصدر الشياطين الحمر مجموعتهم في اليوروبا ليج.

وقال تشافي في تصريحاته بالمؤتمر الصحفي الخاص بالمباراة: “ستكون مباراة رائعة غدًا، كلانا وصل إلى أفضل لحظة في الموسم. كان الأمر صعبًا على مانشستر يونايتد في البداية، لكنهم يقومون بعمل رائع الآن مع تين هاج، أتوقع أنها مباراة رائعة لكل المشجعين، ونريد أن نظهر أنه يمكننا التنافس ضد منافس قوي مثل مانشستر يونايتد”.

وعن ماركوس راشفورد: “نحن سنواجه فريقًا وليس لاعب واحد فقط، لديهم انتقال سريع من الدفاع للهجوم والعكس، وماركوس أحد أخطر المهاجمين في أوروبا، سريع ومهاري ويمكنه التغلب على المدافعين بسهولة، لكنني واثق من أننا سنوقف خطورته”.

وشدد: “الحسم سيكون في ملعب أولد ترافورد وليس غدًا، ربما من المؤسف أننا لن نلعب على ملعبنا مباراة الإياب، لكنني واثق في اللاعبين، يمكننا أن نتأهل على حساب مانشستر يونايتد”.

وأشار: “نحن لسنا مرشحين للفوز باللقب، هناك العديد من الفرق الجيدة جدًا في هذه البطولة، إنها منافسة صعبة للغاية علينا، ورأينا ما حدث في الموسم الماضي”.

برشلونة كان قد انتقل إلى الدوري الأوروبي الموسم الماضي بنفس الطريقة، وخسر أمام انتراخت فرانكفورت في الدور ربع النهائي.

وأردف: “في دوري أبطال أوروبا، لم نكن قادرين على ذلك، كان علينا مواجهة الواقع والمنافسة في الدوري الأوروبي الآن”.

واختتم بالتعليق على اتهامات برشلونة: “أركز فقط في كرة القدم، النادي أصدر بيانًا ورد على تلك الاتهامات، هذه السنوات لم أكن فيها داخل برشلونة، لكن علينا أن ندافع عن النادي دائمًا”.
