This will definitely write a new chapter for Veteran Cricket in India, it will be indeed a  good opportunity for Veteran Players registered with the Board, earlier BVCI decided to choose players for IVPL as selection process by not conducting traditional trials, rather they Innovate here again, they conducted a Double Wicket Cricket Championship, in March- April last Year-23, which was another revolutionary thought  for choosing them by creation of a Match environment  with Providing 5 Overs to each Pair, importantly 200 Pairs participated in the Championship, from 15 States of India, this gave equal amount of opportunity for each Player to showcase their talent as well as getting decent amount of time to show their sheer skills and talent.

Inception of BVCI also came with revolutionary thought of  concept of creating a board for Veterans, was a brain child of  India’s flamboyant opening batsman who later turned Politician late Chetan Chauhan Sahib in 1998.

This thought germinated, when he realised, that, after retiring  from serious Cricket with BCCI,  those days( during 90’s)   Cricketers were not having much options to continue their Game which Gave them Name & Fame, Infact ,there are many Cricketers , who do not make it to India Level, but have played, State or National Level Cricket, therefore to continue cricket for them as well there are many, who due to their Family Pressures or career making give up to their Cricket, in order to earn their livelihood etc. With these practical thoughts this Super cricketing brain, created BVCI in 1998, as founding president of the board.

His vision was to increase Sportsman spirit as well as friendship all across the globe amongst Cricketers specially in India. Initially 35+ age Retired Cricketers were invited to become members of BVCI, Board, in order to conduct days and 50 Over Matches etc.

With changing times in Cricket too, further innovations were added, BVCI conducts 20:20 Matches all through their annual Calendar,  even the age bracket also broadened to  40+ years retired Cricketers can be part of BVCI to continue their regular Cricket. BVCI structured to serve for Veteran Cricketers in India with having 5 Zones, North West, East, South and Central with 16 States part of the board, The Cricket Calendar  starts with States  conducting, inter district tournaments to form State Teams, these State teams contest to form a Zonal Team, thereafter Zonal Teams aspire to Play National Championship. The current Cricket calendar & working of BVCI was laid down by Founding President Late Shri. Chetan Chauhan Sahib, but it was very sad when in the year 2020 entire World was fighting with COVID wave across, our Beloved Cricketer turned Politician Chetan Chauhan Sahib also became the Victim of Covid, he left his heavenly abode in August-20, Entire Cricket & Veteran world  was Shattered & Shocked with his Sad Demise, a void was created for Veteran Cricket, it is when, Acting President – Praveen Tyagi ( well-known Name in Veteran Cricket ,  who was earlier Vice President of Central zone alongwith Secretary Sudhir Kulkarni ( A Former First Class Cricketer requested, Hon’ble Central Minister of. Govt of India Shri Nitin Gadkari jee to become National president of BVCI, he was kind enough to take this honorable position, once he became the president of BVCI, Board was infused with fresh energy, National President announced to do some exemplary work for Veteran Cricket in India, He had announced to conduct 8 Nations Veteran World Cup soon, this electrified the entire Veteran Cricket in India.

BVCI to celebrate 25^th Silver jubilee year of the board in 2024, Acting President Shri. Praveen Tyagi announced IVPL- Indian Veteran Premier league in Dehradun, which is a 6 Franchisee Model league, where 27 World’s Best Cricketers will take part alongwith veteran cricketers of India.

India has gained international recognition in sports time and again. Once again, the most powerful athlete of India, Neeraj Chopra, made 140 Crores of Indians proud when he struck gold once more. He achieved another historic performance on Sunday, becoming the first Indian athlete to win a gold medal in the World Athletics Championship 2023 in Budapest, Hungary.
In his second attempt, Neeraj executed a golden throw, launching a magical distance of 88.17 meters. This distance stands as the highest recorded by any athlete in the event, securing the gold for Neeraj and making him the first-ever Indian athlete to win a gold medal in the World Athletic Championship 2023. In the previous edition, he won the silver medal in 2022.

After clinching the gold, a happy and proud Neeraj shared his thoughts, saying, “This has been a great championship for India, and I am proud to bring another title to my country.” The Indian ace humbly continued, “I don’t think I am the best thrower here. I wanted to throw more tonight. I wanted to throw more than 90m tonight, but it requires all parts of the puzzle to be there. I couldn’t put it all together this evening. Maybe next time.”

Neeraj was dissatisfied with his performance until the finals. He struggled to find his rhythm and start strong in the event. Reaching the finals with just 79 meters of performance left him unsatisfied. He worked hard, rejuvenated himself with commitment, and aimed to throw beyond 90 meters. Holding the national record of 89.9 meters, he made a commitment to himself. Despite the challenges of maintaining his calm and momentum, he set out to outshine everyone and return with double power for the final throw. The crowd’s support propelled him every step of the way, granting him the strength to shine and achieve an extraordinary distance of 88.17 meters, filling every Indian with pride once again on Sunday.

The silver medal was won by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem, who reached a distance of 87.8 meters, securing the second position. The bronze medal went to Czech Republic’s Jakub Vadlejch, covering a distance of 87.82 meters. On India’s part, two other athletes, Kishore Jena with the highest throw of 84.77 meters, and D P Manu with the highest throw of 84.14 meters, showcased excellent performances. Though they didn’t make it to the podium, they displayed remarkable skill by securing positions within the top 8 in the World Athletics Championship.
