Graham Pybus: Afghanistan head coach Graham Pybus conceded his side's shortcomings after their humiliating innings-and-300-run defeat to India in New Chandigarh, admitting the team looked usty and aive in only their 13th Test match since gaining Test status nearly nine years ago. Just over half an hour into the third session of Monday's play, India sealed their one-off Test victory, bowling Afghanistan out for 152 and 112 following a massive 564/8 declared of their own. It was the second time Afghanistan suffered a big defeat at the hands of India, who previously secured an innings and 262-run win in Bengaluru in 2018. Speaking after the thumping loss, Pybus confessed Afghanistan's inexperience with the longest format of the game poses the biggest obstacle. We were rusty, we showed our naivety, and there's plenty of work to be done, he told reporters after the match. The England-born coach, who took over from Jonathan Trott earlier this year, went on to state that the only way Afghanistan could compete with the more established nations in the game of Test cricket was to play the format on a more regular basis. I think... In the same way that the white ball side has developed, you only develop through fixtures. Since being granted full member status of the ICC, Afghanistan have played 13 Test matches, winning 4, losing 8, and drawing one. He also used the journey of Bangladesh as an example of how a relatively new side to the format could improve if afforded regular opportunities. I was with Pakistan when we played Bangladesh ... The game was over in two-and-a-half days, and that was part of Bangladesh's learning curve, Pybus continued. Now we see that Bangladesh are beating Pakistan. That's the evolution of the game. Fixtures need to be built out. India clearly controlled the match from start to finish, piling on a massive total over the first three days, before the bowlers, led by debutant Manav Suthar and Washington Sundar with their two wickets apiece, routed Afghanistan's batting line-up twice. Now we see that Bangladesh are beating Pakistan. That's the evolution of the game. Fixtures need to be built out. Also Read: Live Cricket Score However, the Afghanistan coach conceded that the fixture had given the side a stark reminder of where the standards need to be to compete at the very top. They've given us a very clear indication... Showing us exactly where we are in terms of our skills, game strategy, and ability to execute. We've got a lot to work on. Article Source: IANS

Bengaluru woman dies in Kodagu homestay
Sugamya Bharat App , launched by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD), Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, at the Circle of Collaboration event held at the India International Centre, New Delhi. APD's Circle of Collaborationevent in New Delhi marked the integration of GoI's Sugamya Bharat App and Yes to Access The integration comes at a time when accessibility efforts in India increasingly require more than infrastructure improvements alone. Sustained progress requires collaborative monitoring, stronger accountability, and active participation from governments, civil society organisations, and citizens. India has at conservative estimates 2.68 crore citizens who live with a disability. However, even 10 years after the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, public spaces like parks, offices, educational institutions, and restaurants often lack basic accessibility facilities like ramps, wheelchair-friendly toilets. Thats where these apps come in for regular citizens to audit and report the accessibility of public places. While the Sugamya Bharat App enables citizens to report accessibility barriers and supports the objectives of the Accessible India Campaign, Yes to Access enables citizens to assess and report the accessibility of public spaces at scale, creating a map that helps persons with disabilities, caregivers, families, and allies identify accessible locations. Together, the platforms aim to strengthen citizen-led accessibility monitoring and create more responsive systems for identifying and addressing barriers faced by persons with disabilities. The announcement was made during Circle of Collaborations, a convening designed to showcase the power of partnerships in advancing accessibility and inclusion. The event brought together government representatives, disability rights advocates, civil society organisations, accessibility practitioners, designers, and development sector leaders to reflect on progress made and explore pathways for greater collaboration. The event was inaugurated by Ms. Manmeet Kaur Nanda, IAS, Additional Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD), Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India. The inaugural panel also featured Dr. S. Govindaraj, Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities; Mr. Anand Shekhar, Chief Executive Officer, WaterAid India; and Ms. Puja Anand, President, Association of Designers of India. The session was moderated by Dr. Bhumika Modh, Head Public Policy and Collaborations, APD, and was preceded by a welcome address from Mr. Jacob Kurian, Honorary Secretary, APD. The inaugural discussion explored the evolving accessibility landscape in India. Speakers reflected on the importance of data-driven inclusion, public-private collaboration, community-led systems change, and the growing need for stronger standards and capacity-building around digital accessibility. The event also featured an interactive exhibition showcasing the journey, impact, and future vision of the Yes to Access initiative. Highlights included the Yes to Access Journey Timeline , tracing key milestones and learnings; the Wall of Collaborations , recognising organisations and individuals who have contributed to the accessibility movement; and the Data and Impact Zone , featuring a live dashboard that enabled visitors to engage with accessibility-related insights and outcomes. The exhibition further included Way Forward , a space dedicated to exploring future opportunities for collaboration and participation, and Postcards to the Future , an interactive installation inviting attendees to share their aspirations and commitments towards a more accessible and inclusive India. Speaking at the event, Ms. Manmeet Kaur Nanda, IAS, Additional Secretary, DEPwD , said, "Accessibility cannot be achieved by any one institution alone. It requires governments, civil society organisations, industry, and communities to work together towards a common goal. Platforms such as Yes to Access and the integration with Sugamya demonstrate how collaboration and technology can help accelerate our collective journey towards a more inclusive India." Dr. Bhumika Modh, Head Public Policy and Collaborations, APD , said, "The integration of the Sugamya App with Yes to Access is an important milestone in strengthening citizen-led accessibility monitoring and action. Through Circle of Collaborations, we wanted to showcase the power of partnerships in creating sustainable change and invite more stakeholders to join us in building a future where accessibility is embedded by design." Honorary Secretary, APD , said, " Through Circle of Collaborations, we wanted to highlight the collective effort that drives progress on accessibility. The exhibition showcases the role of partnerships, innovation, and community participation in creating more inclusive environments. As India continues its digital transformation, ensuring that accessibility is embedded by design will be critical to building a future that works for everyone. " Circle of Collaborations was envisioned as both a celebration of collective progress and a call for deeper collaboration towards accessible futures that are equitable, participatory, and inclusive by design. Following the New Delhi edition, Circle of Collaborations will be hosted in Bengaluru on June 13, 2026, at Saanchi Gallery, Bangalore International Centre, bringing together a wider network of partners, practitioners, institutions, and advocates committed to advancing accessibility and inclusion across India. About The Association of People with Disability The Association of People with Disability (APD) is a Bengaluru-based non-profit organisation working towards empowering persons with disabilities through inclusive education, livelihoods, skill development, community-based rehabilitation, policy advocacy, and accessibility initiatives. Through collaborative programmes and partnerships, APD works to build equitable and inclusive systems that enable persons with disabilities to participate fully in society.

The Untold Story of Team India Spin Coach Sairaj Bahutule
With the Test against Afghanistan at New Chandigarh, former India player Sairaj Bahutule began his new innings with Team India, this time not as a player but as India's new spin-bowling coach. India has never lacked for big-name spinners, and compared to them, former India leg-spinner Sairaj Bahutule was neither as prominent nor as well-known. The truth is that his name may not be popular with Gen Z as he was not in the news in recent years for some controversy or some juicy stories. He has consistently been involved in cricket and not only coached the IPL sides (this season Punjab Kings), but also previously served in the India Under-19, India A and domestic sides. Bahutule himself played two Tests and eight ODIs, taking five international wickets. Clearly, he wasn't very successful in international cricket and accordingly didnt get many opportunities. However, in a first-class career spanning nearly two decades, he took 630 wickets, scored over 6,000 runs, and took 197 wickets in List A cricket. He played in six Ranji Trophy finals (all for Mumbai), winning all of them. The most talked-about of these was the 2003-04 final, in which he scored 92 runs, lower down the order. Currently around 53, Bahutule's resume as a coach is comparatively much better. He retired from cricket and served as head coach of Vidarbha, Kerala, Gujarat, and Bengal. In the IPL, he was spin-bowling coach for Rajasthan Royals and then Punjab Kings. He was also associated with the BCCI and coached at the Center of Excellence in Bengaluru from 2021 to 2024. He was the bowling coach for the Indian team that won the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2022 and was part of the support staff for the 2024 edition of the event also. He has also worked as a specialist bowling coach on several other assignments. In India, there aren't many coaches with such an active resume. Well, now he's got his biggest promotion, and what could be a bigger responsibility than joining Team India's support staff? This role with Team India will open the doors of international assignments for him. With the opportunity to play international cricket drying, Bahutule intended to remain involved with the game as a coach. Thats why while still playing cricket, when an opportunity came to coach the Vidarbha side, he grabbed it with both hands and announced his retirement. He became only the 9th bowler to take 400 wickets in the Ranji Trophy. Despite all this, Bahutule is disappointed that he never played in the IPL. He played List A cricket until 2010, T20 cricket until 2011, and first-class cricket until 2013, but franchises focused more on his age than his skill. Especially in the first two seasons of the IPL, he was one of the most successful spinners in India. Bhuutule holds a unique record that often goes unnoticed when his name is mentioned. He holds the India record for missing the most matches during his One Day International career. He played seven ODI between December 1997 and January 1998 but returned to Team India in November 2003 to play another one. During that period, Team India had played 196 consecutive ODI in which he was not part of the team. He failed to make a significant impact upon his return and was sidelined thereafter. In Indian cricket, the most discussed story of a cricketers recovery from a traumatic car accident gets connected with Rishabh Pant. The story of Sairaj Bahutules accident was no less tragic. In July 1990, the car accident of Vivek Singh, son of famous singers Jagjit and Chitra Singh, in which he died was in the headlines. Sairaj Bahutule, his close friend, was also with him in the car and was lucky to survive. He broke my femur, and had a major fracture on his right leg, and needed to have a steel rod inserted in the leg. He also slipped into a coma, and it was very, very tough. Also Read: Live Cricket Score The medical aid and familys support helped him, particularly his fathers support, who himself was a Ranji cricketer. His father Vasant, who played for Maharashtra, kept on motivating him to get back to playing cricket. The steel rod was removed a year after the accident and very soon he started playing for the senior Mumbai team as well as got picked for the India Under-19 squad against New Zealand.
