NFL owners unanimously voted for the implementation of CBA

Recently a surprisingly unanimous decision was taken by 32 team owners of NFL. They all accepted the negotiated terms based on the principles of the collective bargaining agreement. Particulars about the agreement were not revealed by the owners as well as Roger Goodell, Commissioner of NFL. After the meeting, team officials left the venue with no comments being made about the proposed CBA. The representatives of the players and the union executive committee will have a conference shortly and the NFL Players Association refrained from commenting on the latest NFL announcement. The owners are working relentlessly to replace the 10-year labor agreement that is due to expire in March 2021.

The new elements of the CBA are expected to be implemented in the upcoming season and the question of whether the players must vote in favor of it remains unanswered. NFL stated that the players can vote against the proposal or they can seek negotiations, but the current agreement will remain until 2020. A deadline was put by the league statement and within a week the players and clubs must have all systems in place for acceptance. Revenue for the players is expected to be more than the current rate, but it will remain 50 percent.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli’s search for century continues

In the ongoing test match between India and New Zealand, Indian Skipper Virat Kohli was cheaply dismissed for just 2 runs. On Friday in Wellington, debutant Kyle Jamieson extended the rare slump in Kohli’s stellar career.  In the 8 innings that he played in the New Zealand series, Virat managed to score just a single fifty. Since Bangladesh tour of India in November 2019, the skipper has not been able to achieve the three figure mark. This is one of the worst slumps for the captain since his 2014 tour of England. Judging a batsman based on the frequency of his century might seem unfair, but a player of Kohli’s caliber can be judged only by his stint with the bat. In his 11 year old international career, Kohli has had only two such slump in form.

The first bad phase for the skipper was from September 2011 when he did not reach the three figure mark in almost 24 innings. In 2014, just three years after the first slump he did not score a century for 254 innings. The current drought of 100 is 3^rd worst in the captain’s career and his dismissal in the current test was very much similar to his dismissals of the 2014 England tour.
