'I Leave Content And Happy,' Says Ingram On Retiring From All Forms Of Professional Cricket
Indian Premier League: After calling time on his two-decade playing career, former South Africa batter Colin Ingram said that he leaves the game content and happy and without any major regrets despite never getting to realize his dream of playing Test cricket for the Proteas. Ingram represented South Africa in 31 ODIs and nine T20Is between 2010 and 2013, but it was his 11-year stint with Glamorgan across all formats that made him a legendary name in the English county cricket circuit. My story has been about making the most of what opportunities I've had, and being grateful for what's come along. I've just taken the path that I could most of the time, and kept trying to reinvent myself, and in a way that's been really fulfilling, Ingram said to Cricinfo on Wednesday. While he enjoyed a prolific white-ball career, including stints in various franchise T20 leagues, Ingram admitted that missing out on a Test cap remained his only unfulfilled ambition, though he harbours no bitterness. I would've loved to have played Test cricket. I'm a lover of the game, and just to be part of that history and wear your national colours in the most traditional format, I would've loved that. But I certainly don't look back with regrets. I tried to make the most of myself and my talent and enjoy the challenge and the journey along the way. I leave the game content and happy. I'm not one of those grumpy senior players; I've loved everything it's brought. I've loved the fitness and the training I mean, the odd warm-up, maybe not so much, but it's been a great journey and I don't have a lot of regrets. I think that's quite satisfying, he added. Apart from his international appearances, Ingram played 15 matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) across two seasons for Delhi Capitals, alongside prominent stints in the Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistan Super League (PSL), and the SA20. I leave the game content and happy. I'm not one of those grumpy senior players; I've loved everything it's brought. I've loved the fitness and the training I mean, the odd warm-up, maybe not so much, but it's been a great journey and I don't have a lot of regrets. I think that's quite satisfying, he added. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Ingram, who has secured franchise coaching assignments for the upcoming winter alongside his role at Glamorgan, expressed a clear vision for his next chapter. I've bowled legspin, I've kept wicket, and I'm fascinated by the game. I don't want to limit myself by any means, but I'm still aware that I need to do my time and get into the trenches, and get some hard work done, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Jay Meena secured India's first ever soft tennis medal at the Asian Games, fetching a bronze after losing to Japan's Takuya Kurosaka in the men's singles semifinals here on Wednesday. Playing in his third Asian Games, the 26-year-old Meena produced a spirited fightback after falling three games behind but could not sustain the momentum, losing 2-4 (3-5, 1-4, 1-4, 4-1, 6-4, 1-4) to Kurosaka in the 45-minute clash. Meena, who hails from Madhya Pradesh's Dewas and is a 2022 National Games gold-medallist, struggled to find his rhythm early on as Kurosaka established an advantage, winning the first two games 5-3 and 4-1. The Japanese player then moved further ahead by taking the third game 4-1, leaving Meena with little margin for error.

India A-Australia A Women's Multi-day Game Shifted From Dharamshala To Mohali
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: The upcoming four-day red-ball game between India A and Australia A women has been shifted from Dharamshala to Mohali owing to adverse weather and poor outfield conditions caused by incessant rainfall in the picturesque hill station in Himachal Pradesh, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

New Delhi, Sep 23: Expansive red flags raised by two Election Commissioners within the poll panel over the Special Intensive Revision of voters list triggered a massive political storm on Wednesday, with the Opposition accusing CEC Gyanesh Kumar of indulging in one-man autocracy and demanding his removal. Officials said Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had flagged multiple issues, including deletion of names, in various states during the voter roll cleanup but the poll body was unanimous in its decisions related to the pan-India Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters' list. The reactions poured in after a report in The Indian Express revealed that questions were raised on issues related to the SIR of electoral rolls within the three-member Election Commission (EC) itself, time and again by two of the three Election Commissioners. The national rollout of the SIR has been under the supervision of all three Commissioners. But Sandhu and Joshi have formally objected, on record, at least 14 times over the last 10 months -- four times on a single day -- to decisions taken and orders issued, they say, without their knowledge, the report in the English daily said. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared the screenshot of the media report on X. Ramesh said that on behalf of the party, his colleague Abhishek Singhvi will be speaking in detail to the media on the sensational revelations made in the leading national newspaper on the way he CEC has destroyed the credibility and integrity of the Election Commission of India. Congress general secretary in-charge organisation K C Venugopal said there is no doubt remaining that Kumar has no right to remain in office. How the hell can one man, acting on His Master's orders, strike off names at whim? How can he sideline fellow Constitutional officers to only take blatantly illegal steps that put our democracy in danger? he said. The right to vote is an essential Constitutional power given to every citizen, the fundamental bedrock of our democracy. If it is to be taken away, due process must be followed with utmost probity, he said. Today, when we are staring at crores of genuine voters being excluded and a similar number of bogus voters being added to the rolls, it is clear that Gyanesh Kumar was the Chief Architect of the nationwide 'Vote Chori' exercise, with the the Modi top brass pulling the strings, he alleged. We demand Gyanesh Kumar's immediate removal and a Supreme Court-monitored impartial investigation to expose the rot that has destroyed the ECI's credibility, Venugopal said. If Kumar remains in office, the people of India will come forward and make sure that our democracy is not destroyed by a mere bureaucrat, he added. Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera lashed out at Kumar, saying he is planted and being protected by the BJP to hollow out the Election Commission of India from within. It was already known that things were not exactly well within the ECI. But just how messy, dysfunctional and, frankly, disturbing things had become is laid bare by this brilliant expose by @IndianExpress, he said on X. Kumar has to be the single most sold-out bureaucrat of the Modi era who has disenfranchised crores of Indians, and he must face the law, he alleged. Congress MP Manish Tewari also reacted to the media report, saying that if the ostensible facts as reported are correct then it seems to suggest that there is an invisible hand running the Election Commission. If rules were not allegedly followed and decisions were taken that were not unanimous or by majority then all the decisions of @ECISVEEP are per -se arbitrary and capricious if not completely illegal, Tewari said on X. This is perhaps a fit case for serious considering an impeachment proceeding but more importantly the fundamental question is as to how will the credibility of @ECISVEEP be ever resurrected, he said. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal demanded Kumar's suspension and filing of an FIR to probe who is behind his actions. Former chief election commissioner O P Rawat said changes to the statutory voter registration Form 6 are absolutely wrong and illegal, while describing revelations of differences within the Election Commission as very serious and unfortunate. CPI(M) MP John Brittas said this is no longer an Election Commission, it is a one-man autocracy under CEC Kumar. Two Election Commissioners have formally objected 14 times in 10 months. They branded the addition of new voters and mass deletion 'unauthorised and illegal'. They recorded objections to secret deletions, restorations, and form 6 changes that harass young first-time voters - all while being kept in the dark, he said. This is the open subversion of the EC and our democracy too, Brittas said. Parliament must immediately start the process for the removal of the CEC. We had in fact submitted a notice for removal on 24th April, 2026 as per the constitutional stipulations - solid grounds and around 70 members signing( 50 in the stipulated number), he said. The Constitution provides this power for precisely such moments of institutional capture and subversion, he said. The Supreme Court must annul the entire SIR process without delay. When two of the three Commissioners put on record that the exercise is illegal and destructive of the electoral roll's integrity, judicial silence becomes complicity, Brittas said. What Kumar is doing is the death knell of a democratic nation, he said. Remove the CEC. Strike down the SIR. Or accept that free and fair elections in India are already being buried, the CPI(M) MP said. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut also cited the media report, and said A-Gyanesh Kumar will go to jail! He will have to go! His masters will flee the country and run away! TMC Rajya Sabha leader Derek O'Brien said on X, Five months ago, 60+ Rajya Sabha MPs (50 needed) wrote to Chairman RS moving Motion to remove CEC Gyanesh Kumar. After big news break today that two Election Commissioners objected to many of CEC's actions, it's time to bring out the RS Motion today. Impeach CEC to save democracy.
