Village Talent Will Now Get A Platform: Ramandeep Hails Sher-e-Punjab T20 League

Punjab T20 League: Cricketer Ramandeep Singh believes the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will provide a much-needed platform for talented cricketers from villages across the state, allowing them to showcase their abilities in front of a wider audience. Speaking on the sidelines of the player auction for the inaugural Sher-e-Punjab T20 League in Chandigarh on Sunday, Ramandeep said the league would help bridge the gap between emerging players at the grassroots level and the wider cricketing audience. Earlier, I think, the talent did not get a chance to come on TV because only the IPL and international-level cricket were telecast. Now, with the league initiative started by Punjab Cricket, we are very thankful to the Punjab government and especially the PCA, because they have given us this platform where talent from the villages will be seen on TV, Ramandeep told reporters. The player auction is currently underway at a hotel in Chandigarh, with more than 450 cricketers going under the hammer for six franchises. Each team has a purse of Rs 45 lakh for the auction. The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will feature six teams and is scheduled to be played from August 30 to September 13 at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali. Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) president Amarjit Singh Mehta said the league was the fulfilment of a vision to take sport to every part of the state. This league was the dream of our Chief Minister. He wanted to build a big league for Punjab, and his dream is going to come true today. He wanted to bring sports to every village in Punjab, Mehta said. The entire Punjab Cricket Association team worked together to bring this league to this level. There are six teams in the league, featuring marquee players, icon players and district players. The opening ceremony will be held on August 30 and the closing ceremony on September 13, he added. Indian Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh, Ramandeep Singh and young pacer Gurnoor Brar have been named the marquee players for the six franchises.

Amit Uniyal Appointed Punjab Mens Head Coach As PCA Overhauls Coaching Staff

Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy: In a major administrative shake-up ahead of the 2026/27 domestic season, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) has overhauled its senior men's coaching staff and named former left-arm seamer Amit Uniyal as the new head coach in place of Sandeep Sharma. Alongside Uniyal, the PCA appointed TP Singh as the batting coach, Harmeet Singh as the bowling coach, and Manish Sharma as the fielding coach. They replace Uday Kaul, Gagandeep Singh, and Sandeep Sanwal, respectively. Uniyal, who represented Punjab in 29 First-Class and 46 List A matches, represented Rajasthan Royals in 2009 IPL. He now becomes Punjab's fourth head coach in four seasons following short stints by Aavishkar Salvi, Wasim Jaffer, and Sandeep Sharma. The overhaul comes on the back of Punjab's persistent struggles in red-ball cricket. While the side lifted the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in 2023/24, their Ranji Trophy record has been dismal, securing just three wins against ten losses across the last three seasons. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket. But we have the potential, we have the talent, all we need is to play as a unit. We want to do better in red-ball cricket this time, and for that, you need bowlers who can take 20 wickets. So we will work towards that, Uniyal was quoted as saying by Cricinfo on Saturday. Since the end of his playing days, Uniyal has been part of various coaching set-ups and selection committees for Chandigarh. He was their assistant coach in the 2020/21 season and then chairman of selectors last season. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket.

Aamir Khan Productions Batwara 1947, starring Shabana Azmi, Sunny Deol, and Preity G Zinta, is gearing up for one of the biggest cinematic releases of the year. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the Partition-era drama has been generating excitement among movie lovers. As the team officially kicks off its multi-city promotional campaign, they have already visited several cities, including Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Patna, and Lucknow. Now, the team has embarked on its Punjab journey, where they will be visiting three cities in a single day, making it an intense promotional tour. Sunny Deol, Karan Deol, and Preity G Zinta have been receiving tremendous love and appreciation throughout their multi-city tour for Batwara 1947. The promotions have witnessed huge crowds turning up. Now, the team is all set to begin its Punjab promotions, and interestingly, the state shares a special connection with the film and its cast. Sunny Deol has shared in his interviews that Punjab bore one of the biggest brunts of the Partition depicted in Batwara 1947. Hence, instead of opting for a conventional promotional stop in the state, he is embarking on a road trip across Punjab, where he will meet people from different walks of life, visit colleges, and explore the Partition Museum. Given Punjabs significance to the story and the film, the state is undoubtedly one of the most important elements of the promotional campaign. Sunny Deol will begin his road trip from Chandigarh, followed by stops in Mohali and Jalandhar, before finally concluding the journey in Amritsar. Moreover, Sunny Deols love for driving makes this road trip even more special, as it will also fulfil his desire to embark on a long drive across Punjab. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunny Deol (@iamsunnydeol) Adding another interesting connection to the campaign, Punjab also shares a special bond with Preity G Zinta, who is the co-owner of the IPL (Indian Premier League) team Punjab Kings. Set against the devastating backdrop of Partition, Batwara 1947 aims to be a deeply moving story that explores the human cost of division while celebrating compassion, hope and the enduring spirit of humanity. Batwara 1947 has an ensemble cast featuring Shabana Azmi, Sunny Deol, Preity G Zinta, Karan Deol, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh and marks the much-awaited reunion of Rajkumar Santoshi and Sunny Deol after nearly three decades. Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Batwara 1947 is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The music is composed by A. R. Rahman, while the lyrics are penned by Javed Akhtar. The film is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit and is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2026.
