Nuwan Thushara Withdraws IPL NOC Case Against SLC
Sri Lanka Cricket: Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has withdrawn his legal challenge against Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) over the non-issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) required to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. The matter, which was being heard before the Colombo District Court, was taken up on Wednesday, where Thusharas counsel, G. G. Arulpragasam, informed the court that the pacer no longer wished to pursue the case. With a significant portion of the IPL season already completed, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the application. The court subsequently allowed the request and dismissed the petition, according to Sri Lanka Mirror reports. Thushara had earlier approached the court seeking an interim directive to compel SLC to grant him the mandatory clearance after the board declined to issue the NOC for IPL 2026. The right-arm seamer had secured a contract with Royal Challengers Bengaluru and was set to feature in the tournament for a third consecutive season, having previously participated with the boards approval. The dispute stemmed from SLCs decision to withhold the NOC on fitness grounds, with the board reportedly citing the pacers inability to meet required benchmarks. However, Thushara had contested this stance in his petition, arguing that his physical condition remained consistent with that of previous seasons, when he was granted clearance to play in overseas leagues. He also pointed out that his central contract with the board was due to expire on March 31, 2026, and that he had already conveyed his decision not to renew it. According to the petition, he was no longer in the national teams immediate plans, which made the NOC's refusal to grant it appear inconsistent.

Sakib Hussain: IPL Quick Whose Mum Sold Her Jewellery To Fund Cricket Dream
Sakib Hussain's father is a labourer from India's poorest state and his mother sold her jewellery to buy him bowling boots. Their sacrifices -- and his tears -- paid off after the 21-year-old fast bowler made an instant impact in the Indian Premier League. He claimed 4-24 for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals on his debut this month. After three matches, Hussain averages a miserly 14.16 per wicket and has a superb economy rate of 7.08 -- up with the best in the T20 tournament that is a breeding ground for young Indian talent. Hussain started out playing cricket with a tennis ball in the lanes and patchy fields of the small northern town of Gopalganj in Bihar. Tales of Hussain's mother having to part with her jewellery to fund her son's cricketing footwear have gone viral in India. His father owned a small farm but a knee issue forced him to work as a labourer and earn 200-300 rupees ($2-$3) a day to run the house. It must have been a truly emotional moment for the family, former India pace bowler Irfan Pathan said after Hussain's debut, where his wickets included prolific opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal in his first over. He wanted to join the army but getting an opportunity at this level and stage and performing is a job well done. His slower (ball) is dangerous. Hussain was nicknamed the Rabada of Gopalganj locally as his bowling action, raw pace and accuracy began to earn comparisons with South Africa's renowned quick bowler Kagiso Rabada. Hussain's father knew he also had to support his son's cricket ambitions. I was a single earner when this trouble (knee pain) came, so I had to think about providing the basic needs like food for the family, his father was quoted as saying by Indian media. At the same time, people told me that my boy bowls very fast, so I told Sakib not to worry about expenses and focus on cricket. A local coach took Hussain under his wing and soon after he was playing for his state team. Hussain gained selection to the National Cricket Academy camp in Bengaluru, where he caught the attention of IPL teams while playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, a national T20 competition. Hussain was part of the title-winning Kolkata Knight Riders IPL squad in 2024 but did not get a game in a pace attack led by Mitchell Starc. The 2016 winners Hyderabad snapped him at his base price of $32,000 in the December auction for this season. I had tears in my eyes when Hyderabad picked me in the auction, said Hussain. This tells you that if you have self-belief then you can achieve anything. My fight is with myself. His proud mother recalled the struggles of his cricketing journey. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He came one day and started crying and said, 'Mummy, I need spikes (boots). How will I play?'

IPL 2026: Spencer Johnson Will Be In Our Starting XI Tomorrow, Says CSK Bowling Coach
Chennai Super Kings: Spencer Johnson is poised to take centre stage for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their critical bottom-of-the-table match against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Bowling coach Eric Simmons hinted at Johnson's potential inclusion due to Khaleel Ahmed's injury. Khaleel had to leave the field before finishing his overs in CSKs last game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). This situation led the team to consider Johnson as a replacement in their bowling lineup. His addition comes at a time when injuries have heavily impacted Chennais season. Khaleel Ahmed & Anshul Kamboj have been really good for us. Spencer Johnson (Khaleel's replacement) will be in our starting XI tomorrow night, Simmons said on the eve of the match. CSK has faced challenges all season, starting with three straight losses to Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They briefly revived their season with wins over Delhi Capitals and KKR, but then experienced another setback with a 10-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbais performance has also been shaky. After starting their season with a win against KKR, they lost to DC, RR, RCB, and PBKS before getting back on track with a second win against the Gujarat Titans. Apart from Johnson, former skipper Dhoni, 44, has already started light training, including his first wicketkeeping session of IPL 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, after missing CSKs first six matches.

Hes not doing anything- Cook wants Jacob Bethell to quit RCB mid-season
Former England captain Alastair Cook urges young batter Jacob Bethell to leave the IPL and return to Warwickshire. Cook believes Bethell, despite his T20 World Cup heroics, is wasting crucial development time on the bench with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Consistent game time is vital for his progression, Cook argued, suggesting he could open for his county and aid England's future.
'He Is Not Doing Anything': Cook Wants Bethell To Leave IPL And Play County Cricket
Sir Alastair Cook: Former England great Sir Alastair Cook has advised youngster Jacob Bethell to consider leaving his franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) and return to play county cricket with Warwickshire, stating that the left-hander is not doing anything and wasting his crucial preparation time at IPL. Bethell was in great touch in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2026, where he scored a brilliant century in the semi final against India. The youngster achieved the milestone in just 45 balls and recorded the second-fastest T20 World Cup century ever. Despite World Cup heroics, Bethell is yet to play a single game in RCB as he is not getting any place in the playing XI, which has Phil Salt, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, and Josh Hazlewood as overseas player. Cook feels that Bethell's century against Australia in Sydney showed that he could be the answer to England's opening problems and He should prove his mantle as an opener to the selectors by opting for the role for Warwickshire in County Cricket rather than wasting his time sitting on the bench in IPL. For that top order batting, the way he played at Sydney, against that attack, in those conditionsIve looked at a player there, and Im certain this bloke can open. If he can bat three, he can open, Cook said on The Overlap and Betfairs Stick to Cricket podcast.

Every beauty ritual begins with a choice, and over time, those choices shape not just how we look, but the world we live in. As Nykaa, Indias leading beauty and lifestyle company, celebrates 14 years of redefining beauty in India, it is turning its focus to what comes after the last drop, the empty bottle, the finished jar, and the packaging we often overlook. Nykaa's Recycle and Rewards Program This Earth Day, Nykaa introduces Recycle and Rewards , a programme designed to bring responsibility into the heart of everyday beauty, and move meaningfully towards a more conscious beauty economy. Launching across 14 select stores , in line with Nykaas 14th birthday, the initiative invites customers to return their empty, used beauty packaging and take a small but powerful step towards a more conscious routine. This initiative will be rolled out across Nykaa stores in India in a phased manner. Starting across key markets including Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, and Kolkata, the programme will be available at select stores such as Palladium, Linking Road, Mumbai Mall of India, Noida, DLF Avenue Mall Saket, Delhi and 100 ft Road, Bangalore. At each participating store, a dedicated recycling bin will serve as a simple starting point, making it easier for customers to integrate responsible disposal into their beauty journeys. The process is designed to be seamless. Customers can clean their beauty empties at home, bring them to a participating Nykaa store, and drop them into the recycling bin. As an immediate benefit, they receive Rs 100 off on same-day in-store billing, along with 1,000 reward points per empty credited to their Nykaa account, capped at a maximum of 10,000 reward points per visit . These rewards are redeemable both online and in-store, reinforcing the idea that doing good should feel just as rewarding. Open to all beauty and personal care packaging with no minimum threshold, the programme is designed to encourage consistent participation rather than one-time action. As an always-on initiative, it aims to build long-term habits, where small individual actions, like dropping off an empty, can collectively drive meaningful environmental impact. Nykaa's Recycle and Rewards Program Behind the scenes, all collected waste will be routed through Nykaas existing network and processed in line with its waste management practices, working with authorised recyclers to ensure responsible handling and recycling of materials. This structured approach ensures that what is collected does not end up in landfills, but is channelled back into the recycling ecosystem. Recycle and Rewards is a natural extension of Nykaas broader vision of sustainable beauty. Over the years, the company has evolved to become a holistic lifestyle partner, increasingly aligning with the expectations of a new generation of consumers who value responsibility as much as aspiration. From curating brands that prioritise cleaner formulations and thoughtful packaging, to strengthening its own House of Nykaa portfolio and supply chain practices with a more conscious lens, each step reflects a larger commitment to building a responsible beauty ecosystem. Anchit Nayar, Executive Director and CEO, Nykaa Beauty , said, Over the past 14 years, Nykaa has been built on the belief that beauty can inspire confidence, but it must also be responsible. With Recycle and Rewards, we are taking a step towards making sustainability more accessible and actionable for our consumers, integrating it seamlessly into their everyday beauty journeys. As consumption grows, so does our collective responsibility, and this initiative is designed to encourage mindful choices while rewarding positive behaviour. This is not a standalone effort, but a continuation of Nykaas long-term commitment to building a more sustainable beauty ecosystem . As Nykaa steps into its next chapter, Recycle and Rewards is a reminder that the future of beauty will be defined not just by innovation or aspiration, but by the habits we build, the communities we shape, and the responsibility we choose to take. Building a More Conscious Beauty Ecosystem Sustainability has always been at the core of Nykaas journey. Through its Nykaa 10x10 initiatives: Sustainability at the Core of Operations , this vision comes to life across everyday decisions, quietly reshaping how beauty is experienced, delivered, and consumed. It shows up in the smallest details and the largest systems. A shift to zero-paper order processing. Nearly every order, 96% in FY25, reaching customers in more sustainable packaging. Behind the scenes, materials are not discarded but reimagined 160 MT of plastic and 2,003 MT of carton waste recycled. Across the ecosystem, this thinking travels further. At Superstore by Nykaa, 1.5 million brand boxes found a second life in FY 25. Within House of Nykaa warehouses, every corrugated box was reused, turning routine operations into powerful acts of reduction and reuse. But this is not just about operations. It is about enabling a shift in mindset. A growing portfolio of clean, cruelty-free, and conscious beauty invites consumers to participate in this journey, making choices that are as responsible as they are aspirational. From warehouses to retail floors, these interconnected efforts are shaping a future where beauty and responsibility move together. And as Nykaa continues to innovate, partner, and engage more deeply, it is building towards a more circular, conscious ecosystem, one where every choice, big or small, adds up to something larger.
