"Will Never Learn Anything If...": Akash Deep's Big Remark Ahead Of Bangladesh Tests

A nine-wicket match haul usually leaves a bowler on cloud nine, but for India pacer Akash Deep it's a mere reminder of the areas he needs to improve upon ahead of a hectic season. Akash, who was included in India's squad for the 1st Test against Bangladesh, produced a wonderful effort for India A against India B in the just-concluded Duleep Trophy first round match, returning with figures of 4 for 60 and 5 for 56. “If you get satisfied as a cricketer, you will never learn anything. As long as I have the hunger for learning, I can never be satisfied,” Akash told reporters after the match on Sunday.

Captain Babar Azam To Be Sacked Again? Gary Kirsten, Jason Gillespie Convey Verdict To PCB

Pakistan's white and red ball head coaches Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie have advised the country's cricket board against changing the captains in haste after recent shoddy performances across formats. Babar Azam was sacked from white ball captaincy after 2023 ODI World Cup round robin exit in India and his replacement Shaheen Shah Afridi was removed after one bad series. Similarly in Tests, after Babar resigned, Shan Masood was named captain but after 0-2 Test series defeat to Bangladesh, there are calls for his immediate ouster.

India Test Squad vs Bangladesh: BCCI's Vice-Captaincy Decision Baffles Everyone

Amid the chatter around Jasprit Bumrah being potentially rested for the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh, the marquee pacer surprisingly found a place in the squad for the first Test. Wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant also marked his return to the Test side after nearly 20 months out as India announced their 16-man squad for the series opener on Sunday. While some big names returned to the squad, some prominent names missed out too. However, another decision from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee that raised eyebrows was the absence of a designated vice-captain.

Indian Football Team Suffers 3-0 Defeat To Syria, Finish Last In Intercontinental Cup 2024

Indian football team's hopes of winning the Intercontinental Cup title for the third time were dashed as it lost to Syria 0-3 in the last league match of the three-nation tournament here on Monday.

Rising Above 'Bauna' Taunts, How Navdeep Singh Made History With Paralympics Gold

Javelin thrower Navdeep Singh clinched a gold medal in the F41 classification at Paris Paralympics on Saturday. For India, it was a 7th gold at Paris 2024 and 16th in its Paralympic history, but for Navdeep, the top honour was way more than that. Having suffered from dwarfism, Navdeep endured not just the usual rigours of training but cruel taunts from onlookers while growing up in his village in Haryana's Panipat district. And his gold medal on Saturday was a testimony to his resilience and determination. It would not only inspire him but a lot of other specially-abled people too, who went through a similar fate.
