Fixing

This article don't mentioned about a huge fixing matter held in India, in this sport. Many players were banned. @Baffle gab1978:, will you add it in this page or writ a sep page on this matter. Ref [1]Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 04:52, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

@Rock Stone Gold Castle:, we don't need a new page, there is already an article about this incident, which you edited three times in September 2022, and it hasn't—as of my timestamp—been edited since. Both articles could have a paragraph about the BCCI's involvement and actions, though I'm not going to write it. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:50, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

How can a org founded in 1928 affiliate with ICC in 1926?

Isn't it odd, by norm org 1st get est then get afflicted.Rock Stone Gold Castle (talk) 07:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Marathi name

@Joseph2302: then where should we used. The org have a name in Marathi language. Should I write it in infobox? If not where should write? Tesla car owner (talk) 09:20, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Not in lead or infobox, as per MOS:INDICSCRIPT. India has many languages, so I don't personally see the value in writing the name in this one language, simply because that's the main language where the BCCI headquarters is (which is an arbitrary inclusion criteria). Joseph2302 (talk) 09:56, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

@Joseph: By your logic Hindi name of 2023 G20 New Delhi summit should be removed because it's written in Devanagari? Tesla car owner (talk) 14:58, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes it should, as per that MOS guideline. I'm not sure what's difficult to understand. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
