No Warm-up Games Ahead Of India Tour In 2027: Andrew McDonald
World Test Championship: Head coach Andrew McDonald has revealed that Australia have decided against playing a warm-up match ahead of their 2027 Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour of India, adding that their focus will be on a dedicated pre-series training camp to prepare for turning conditions. The five-match Test series will start on January 21 in Nagpur and end on March 3 in Ahmedabad. It will mark Australia's longest tour of India in 50 years. With the marquee series commencing less than two weeks after the conclusion of their home Test series against New Zealand, Australia face a tight preparation timeline. Australia previously used a similar method head of the 2023 tour of India by having a camp in Alur on the outskirts of Bengaluru, as well as traveling to Dubai prior to their two-Test tour of Sri Lanka. In Alur, they got local Indian bowlers like Baroda off-spinner Mahesh Pithiya to replicate the angle of former off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. We feel as though we've got enough time to immerse ourselves in those conditions. We won't be taking on a practice game. It'll just be more around the location. We've got a couple of options there. We have gone to the UAE previously and we have also gone into India last time into Bangalore, so we're just working through what that would look like in terms of how we then manage the individuals. A lot of that would happen on the back of the four Tests against New Zealand, seeing where players are at. We'll potentially have some different players with different skill sets that we believe can perform in India, so it won't necessarily be the squad that finishes the Test series (against NZ that then heads to India). There'll be some players that we need to put a little bit more prep into, and that'll start in Australia also, balancing out Big Bash commitments and things like that. Ultimately, if you can have a dedicated venue that you're able to use and replicate as close to the conditions that you believe you may get in the first Test match or throughout a Test series, that's ideally what you want. You case those locations you want a connection in terms of conditions and climate. We believe we'll get that right in terms of where we go, it just hasn't been confirmed yet, McDonald told cricket.com.au on Wednesday. Test fringe players like Matthew Kuhnemann, Todd Murphy, Cooper Connolly, Peter Handscomb, and Matthew Renshaw are among those in consideration for the tour as Australia seek their first Test series victory on Indian soil since 2004. While Australia are not playing tour games in India, McDonald confirmed they plan to play warm-up fixtures ahead of their three-game Test series in South Africa and the 2027 Ashes in England, provided they do not qualify for the World Test Championship final. We don't always take the opportunity to play warm-up games or first-class games on the entry, and that's probably because we haven't traditionally had the space and time, and also we've had an experienced group. Some players are going to be coming out of IPL, some players are going to be coming out of April, May in Australia preparing back here, some might be in county cricket, so we're going to have players at all different stages of prep.

Khalin Joshi shoots 63, takes two-shot lead at J&K Open 2026
Srinagar, Aug 4: Bengaluru golfer Khalin Joshi produced a superb eight under 63 to grab the opening round lead at the INR 1 crore J&K Open 2026 at the Royal Springs Golf Course in Srinagar on Tuesday.

Speaking after the round, Joshi described Royal Springs as one of the most beautiful golf courses and said playing in Srinagar always feels like a holiday. He expressed hope of maintaining his form over the remaining three rounds.

Gaurav Pratap Singh, Divyanshu Bajaj, Angad Cheema, Rashid Khan and Czech golfer Stepan Danek were tied for fourth at three under 68.

As part of the event, pet parents also participated in the veterinarian-led pet first aid workshop, where they learned essential emergency care techniques. The occasion also saw the expansion of veterinary-led services, with the Noida centre being upgraded to a 24x7 veterinary facility and the Defence Colony centre receiving dedicated veterinary services. Adding to these services, primary & secondary care such as diagnostics, X-rays, upgraded surgeries, and physiotherapy have also been introduced in the DLF Lucknow & Basant Lok centre. Launch of Zigly Cares during IHPD 2026 Commenting on the occasion, Saurabh Jain, CEO, Zigly Pet Care , said, International Happy Pets Day has always been about celebrating the unconditional love between pets and their families. This year, we wanted to build on that purpose by placing proactive pet healthcare at the heart of the celebration. Alongside bringing pet communities together, we are expanding our veterinary ecosystem through upgraded 24x7 facilities, dedicated veterinary services across more centres, and the launch of Pet First Aid Kits. Together, these initiatives reflect our vision of creating Indias most trusted and comprehensive pet healthcare ecosystem, where pet parents can access quality care, expert advice and essential healthcare services whenever they need them. To make the event more interesting, a diverse lineup of games such as Snuffle Mat challenge, Best Trick Showdown, Pet Bingo, among others strengthened the bond between pets and their parents. To keep these memories alive and celebrate the journey so far, pet parents also enjoyed the caricature and photo booth sessions. The celebrations culminated with the Zigly Pet Care Awards, recognising inspiring stories from the pet community, followed by a group celebration that brought together pet parents, creators and animal lovers. Further strengthening its commitment to community animal welfare, Zigly Pet Care also announced the launch of Zigly Cares nutritious dry food created for community dogs. Available in 100 gm and 1 kg packs, 100 percent of the proceeds from every pack sold will be used to support the welfare of street animals. This also enables every pet parent to contribute towards the wellbeing of community animals through their everyday purchases. Adding purpose to the celebrations, 100 percent of the proceeds from International Happy Pets Day ticket sales, worth INR 6 lakhs, were handed over to the Zigly Foundation. The proceeds will help to support initiatives such as anti-rabies vaccination, deworming, reflective collar drives, rescue efforts, and facilitating adoptions for community dogs. As Zigly Pet Cares flagship annual community initiative, International Happy Pets Day continues to unite pet parents, veterinarians, creators and animal lovers while creating meaningful impact beyond pet care by supporting the wellbeing of community animals.
