प्रेग्नेंट क्रिकेटर को सैलरी के साथ 1 साल की छुट्टी

मुंबई कामकाजी महिलाएं अक्सर इस डर में जीती हैं कि मां बनने पर उन्हें बड़ा आर्थिक नुकसान उठाना पड़ेगा। कई बार महिलाओं को प्रेग्नेंसी में नौकरी छोड़नी पड़ती है। खिलाड़ियों की बात करें तो कई मामलों में वे एक साल तक खेल से दूर हो जाती हैं। ऐसे में ऑस्ट्रेलिया के क्रिकेट बोर्ड (CA) ने नजीर पेश की है। उसने अपनी महिला क्रिकेटर्स को 12 महीने का वेतन सहित मातृत्व अवकाश देना शुरू किया है। सीनियर क्रिकेटर इस पॉलिसी का फायदा पाने वाली पहली क्रिकेटर बनी हैं। उन्हें इस छुट्टी के दौरान पूरा वेतन और अगली गर्मियों में नया कॉन्ट्रैक्ट मिलेगा। जेस चाहें तो बच्चे को जन्म देने से पहले तक ऐसी भूमिका स्वीकार सकती हैं, जिसमें क्रिकेट न खेलना पड़े। अगर BCCI की बात करें तो सबसे अमीर क्रिकेट बोर्ड होने के बावजूद यहां मातृत्व अवकाश को लेकर कोई पॉलिसी नहीं है। भारतीय महिला क्रिकेट टीम की पूर्व कप्तान डायना एडुल्जी ने बताया कि भारत में महिला क्रिकेटर्स को पैरंटल लीव नहीं मिलती। वहीं, टीम इंडिया के लिए 64 इंटरनैशनल मैच खेलने वालीं रीमा मल्होत्रा की मानें तो भारतीय क्रिकेट बोर्ड के सामने कभी ऐसा केस आया ही नहीं, जहां मातृत्व अवकाश मांगा गया हो।

कनेरिया मामले पर बोले इंजी, हमारा दिल बड़ा है

कराचीपाकिस्तानी क्रिकेट टीम के पूर्व कप्तान इंजमाम-उल-हक ने मामले पर अपनी राय रखी है। इंजमाम ने पूर्व तेज गेंदबाज के उस दावे कि कुछ पाकिस्तानी क्रिकेटर प्रतिबंधित स्पिनर दानिश कनेरिया के साथ हिंदू होने के कारण उनके साथ भोजन भी नहीं कर सकते थे, पर अपनी राय जाहिर की। इंजमाम ने ऐसी किसी बात से इनकार करते हुए कहा कि पाकिस्तान में लोगों का दिल बड़ा होता है। इंजमाम ने अपने यू-ट्यूब चैनल पर कहा, 'कनेरिया सबसे ज्यादा मेरी कप्तानी में खेले और मुझे अपनी टीम में कभी ऐसा व्यवहार देखने को नहीं मिला। मैंने कभी यह नहीं महसूस किया कि किसी खिलाड़ी के उसके गैर-मुस्लिम होने के कारण गलत व्यवहार किया गया हो।' इसे भी पढ़ें- उन्होंने आगे कहा, 'मैं दानिश कनेरिया के उस दावे को स्वीकार नहीं करता कि हम छोटे दिल के लोग होते हैं... मुझे लगता है कि पाकिस्तानियों का दिल बड़ा होता है और हम किसी को अपने दिल से स्वीकार करते हैं।' इंजमाम ने आगे कहा, 'मुश्ताक अहमद मेरे बचपन का अच्छा दोस्त था लेकिन मैंने दानिश कनेरिया को मौका दिया क्योंकि वह पाकिस्तान का भविष्य था और मुश्ताक को मेरी ही कप्तानी में ड्रॉप किया गया। तो ऐसी कोई चीज नहीं है कि खिलाड़ी को तभी चुना जात है अगर वह नमाज पढ़ता है।' कनेरिया ने शनिवार को कहा था कि अगर पाकिस्तानी सरकार ने इस मामले पर सम्मान कार्रवाई नहीं की तो दुनिया को यह साबित करने का मौका मिल जाएगा कि उनके साथ भेदभाव हुआ है। इसे भी पढ़ें- इंजमाम ने इस दावे से इनकार करते हुए कहा, 'मैं आपको यहां उदाहरण देता हूं। यूसुफ हमारी टीम में था। वह गैर-मुस्लिम था लेकिन अल्लाह के फजल से मुसलमान बन गया और मोहम्मद यूसुफ हो गया। उन्होंने भी धर्म-परिवर्तन से पहले ऐसी कोई चीज महसूस नहीं की।' उन्होंने कहा, '2004 में भारतीय टीम पाकिस्तानी टीम 15 साल बाद पाकिस्तान आई और हमारे देश के लोगों ने अपने दिल उनके सामने बिछा दिए। जहां भी वे गए उनसे खाने, शॉपिंग और टैक्सी वालों ने भी पैसे नहीं लिए।' इंजमाम ने कहा, 'एक साल बाद हमारी टीम ने भारत का दौरा किया, उस दौरे पर भी मैं ही टीम का कप्तान था। हमें भी वहां से उसी तरह का व्यवहार मिला। उन्होंने अपने घर के दरवाजे खोल दिए कि आप हमारे मेहमान हो आप हमारे घरों में रहो। उन्होंने हमारे खिलाड़ियों को खाना बनाकर खिलाया और शॉपिंग के पैसे नहीं लिए।' इसे भी पढ़ें- अपने विडियो में पाकिस्तान के सबसे सफल बल्लेबाजों में शुमार इंजमाम ने कहा कि दोनों ओर अवाम के बीच काफी मोहब्बतें हैं और मैं नहीं समझता कि इस तरह की चीज मुमकिन है कि किसी खिलाड़ी के लिए हमारा दिल इतना तंग हो जाए। उस वक्त टीम का कप्तान था और यह बात सच नहीं है। इंजमाम ने कहा जहां तक साथ खाना न खाने की बात को पसंद न करना है तो 2005 में भारत दौरे से पहले मैं शूटिंग के सिलसिले में कोलकाता गया। उन्होंने कहा, 'पाकिस्तान की ओर से मैं था और भारत की ओर से कप्तान सौरभ गांगुली। वहां सौरभ ने एक रेस्तरां खोला था जिसका सचिन और मैंने उद्घाटन किया था। सौरभ मुझे दोनों वक्त का खाना अपने रेस्तरां से भिजवाता था।' इंजमाम ने कहा कि शारजाह में भी दोनों टीमों के खिलाड़ी साथ बैठकर खाया करते थे और एक-दूसरे के कमरों में बैठकर गप्पें लगाया करते थे।

ओलिंपिक 2020: भारतीय शटलर्स की चुनौती पर नजर

रूपेश रंजन सिंह, नई दिल्लीक्रिकेट के बाद भारत में सबसे ज्यादा लोकप्रिय खेलों में से एक बैडमिंटन में हम दो ओलिंपिक्स से मेडल जीत रहे हैं। 2020 तोक्यो ओलिंपिक्स में भी शटलर्स से मेडल की उम्मीद होगी। आज चर्चा 2020 में भारतीय बैडमिंटन प्लेयर्स की चुनौतियों पर... गिरा है ग्राफ पिछले कुछ वर्षों में भारतीय बैडमिंटन का ग्राफ तेजी से उठा। हालांकि साल 2019 में यह ग्राफ थोड़ा नीचे गिर गया। विमिंस कैटिगरी में साइना का जनवरी में इंडोनेशिया मास्टर और का अगस्त में वर्ल्ड चैंपियनशिप खिताब निकाल दें तो भारतीय प्रदर्शन कुछ खास नहीं रहा। वहीं मेंस सिंगल्स में बी साई प्रणीत का वर्ल्ड चैंपियनशिप में ब्रॉन्ज मेडल हटा दें तो कोई भी भारतीय मेंस शटलर सुपर 300 कैटगिरी से ऊपर का टूर्नमेंट इस साल नहीं जीत सका। ओलिंपिक्स का चैलेंज पूर्व जूनियर वर्ल्ड नंबर 1 लक्ष्य सेन ने साल 2019 की शुरुआत वर्ल्ड रैंकिंग्स में 109वें स्थान से की थी, लेकिन साल खत्म होते-होते वह 32वें नंबर पर पहुंच गए। वह सौरभ वर्मा, पी कश्यप, के श्रीकांत और एचएस प्रणॉय के साथ तोक्यो ओलिंपिक्स के लिए क्वॉलिफाइ करने की दौड़ में भी शामिल हो गए हैं। मेंस सिंगल्स में दो प्लेयर्स क्वॉलिफाई करेंगे। वर्ल्ड रैंकिंग्स में 11वें स्थान पर काबिज बीसाई प्रणीत की सीट पक्की नजर आ रही है। लड़ाई एक सीट की है। लक्ष्य ने पिछले छह महीनों में प्रदर्शन किया है, अगर अगले चार महीनों में वह इसे दोहराने में सफल रहे तो फिर शायद तोक्यो में वह भारत की उम्मीद बनकर उतर सकते हैं।

• 18- ओलिंपिक्स गोल्ड हैं चीन के पास बैडमिंटन में, भारत को पहले गोल्ड का इंतजार।
• 11- देशों ने ही अभी तक ओलिंपिक्स में बैडमिंटन का कोई न कोई मेडल हासिल किया है।

जापान की बड़ी दावेदारी पिछले आठ सालों में जापान बैडमिंटन बहुत तेजी से बढ़ा है। 2012 में विमिंस डबल्स ब्रॉन्ज के रूप में बैडमिंटन का पहला ओलिंपिक्स मेडल जीतने वाला जापान 2020 में सभी कैटिगरी में गोल्ड के दावेदार के तौर पर उतरेगा। विमिंस सिंगल्स में नोजोमी ओकुहारा और अकाने यामागुची गोल्ड की होड़ में होंगी, वहीं मेंस सिंगल्स में वर्ल्ड नंबर-1 केंटो मोमोटा का दावा सबसे मजबूत नजर आ रहा है। अगर विमिंस डबल्स की बात करें तो यहां भी टॉप-10 में पांच जापानी जोड़ियां मौजूद हैं।
