New Delhi, Jan 11
The Indian men's hockey team
captain PR Sreejesh on
Wednesday became a
member of Internat ional
Hockey Federat ion (FIH)
Athletes' Committee.
FIH Athletes' Committee
comprises a total of eight current
and former hockey players
who have the responsibility to
act as a liaison between the FIH
and the athletes to make sure
the players have voice in the
FIH decision making process.
Sreejesh, who led the Indian
team to a historic silver medal
feat at the FIH Champions
Trophy in London last year,
said he was looking forward to
the responsibility bestowed
upon him by the FIH.
"It's a great honour to be part
of the FIH Athletes' Committee
which comprises of legendary
players like Moritz Fuerste and
other international greats. I am
looking forward to this new
responsibility," he said.
While Sreejesh's role will be to
seek and provide feedback to
the FIH on behalf of all athletes,
the Committee also gets to
interact with the current athletes
in a number of ways including
post event surveys for the
athletes and coaches to get
direct feedbacks from the FIH
events. Organised meetings
are also scheduled with the
national teams at several
events. The aim is to
FIH makes Sreejesh member of
Athletes' Committeecommunicate with the players,
to update them on the different
activities but also to hear from
them. "We get to work together
to develop the game and put
forth players concerns and
suggestions. It's a great initiative
by the FIH to directly involve
the players and I look forward
to giving my suggestions with
the inputs of our coaching staff,
my team who I am sure will
support me in this new
endeavor. I see this as a great
responsibility in terms of helping
FIH develop the game
globally," said Sreejesh, who
is gearing up to play for the
Uttar Pradesh Wizards in the
Hockey India League, slated
to begin on January 21.
Virat Kohli Eyes Top Spot In
ICC's ODI RankingsDubai, Jan 11
India's new limited overs skipper
Virat Kohli will have a chance to
climb to the top slot for on the
International Cricket Council's
One-Day Internationals (ODI)
batting rankings when India take
on England in a three-match
series beginning on January 15.
The Delhi batsman, who was
named skipper of both the ODI
and T20I teams recently, is on
top of the Twenty20 International
rankings for batsmen but is placed
second in Tests and the 50-over
format. The 28-year-old is only
one spot behind the formidable
South African AB de Villiers in ODI
rankings.
India can also rise to as high as
114 points if they sweep the
series, but if the result is reversed,
then England can move up one
place to fourth and the hosts might
slide to fifth.
Kohli, meanwhile, trails the South
African star by 13 points.
David Warner, who destroyed
Pakistan's bowling in Sydney, is
ranked third -- just two points
behind Kohli. England's Joe Root
is seventh, whereas Pakistan's
highest-ranked batsman is Babar
Azam in 15th position. Mitchell
Starc, who was the Player of the
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, will
start as the highest-ranked
bowler in the upcoming One-Day
International matches. He trails
New Zealand's number-one
ranked Trent Boult by 13 points.
England's Adil Rashid will start in
fifth position, India's Amit Mishra
at 12th and 39th-ranked Wahab
Riaz of Pakistan is his side's
highest-ranked bowler.
Languishing at the bottom of
ODI team ranking, Pakistan
have set their sights on direct
qualification for the ICC Cricket
World Cup when they take on
the in-form reigning world
champions and number-one
ranked Australia in a five-ODI
series starting in Brisbane on
Friday. Former world
champions Pakistan are
presently in serious danger of
failing to qualify directly for the
ICC's pinnacle 50-over
tournament in the United
Kingdom as they are sitting in
eighth position on 89 points -
two behind Bangladesh and
two ahead of the West Indies.
