1st ODI: India Will Play Around No.3 Slot In Virat Kohlis Absence, Says Morkel
Indian Premier League: Indias fast bowling coach Morne Morkel has indicated that the team will experiment with the number three batting position in Virat Kohlis absence during the threematch ODI series against Afghanistan, starting at the HPCA Stadium on Saturday. Kohli was ruled out of the three ODIs against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury picked up while hitting a match-winning 75 not out in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. In his absence, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in contention to bat at number three. I think thats something that in this series well play around with, (whether) its Ishan (Kishan) or KL (Rahul) or Yashasvi (Jaiswal). We have got a couple of oneday games coming up, and well give guys an opportunity in different slots to give ourselves a better idea of how we can structure teams and have different options, Morkel said in the pre-match press conference. Rahul has largely featured as a middle-order batter in the past five years, but in Indias training session on Friday, Kishan was on keeping duties while Rahul was tasked with taking outfield catches, thus raising the prospect of the Karnataka lad being promoted up the order for Saturdays clash. Morkel also spoke about the new pacers Prince Yadav and Gurnoor Brar, who are in line to get their international debuts in the series, with the next two games to be played in Lucknow and Chennai on June 17 and 20, respectively. First impressions, it is almost like theyve been part of the squad for five years. I saw no nervousness on their face. The way theyve gone about training, the energy theyve trained with, was good to see, he said. Morkel signed off by saying that Rohit Sharma was all fine after being spotted training with a different thigh pad, initially thought as protection for his hamstring, which he injured during IPL 2026. First impressions, it is almost like theyve been part of the squad for five years. I saw no nervousness on their face. The way theyve gone about training, the energy theyve trained with, was good to see, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rohit is moving well and training well. So excited to see him go. Always nice to have his experience back as well. Just the calmness that he brings to the dressing room is always a positive to have. He's training well, he's moving well. So I know that he's also excited to go. Article Source: IANS

Shadow Womens A Tour, CoE Coaching Appointments Reflect Boards Planning, Says Anjum Chopra
T20 World Cup: Former India captain Anjum Chopra has said the shadow womens A tour running alongside the senior teams Womens T20 World Cup campaign in England, coupled with recent Centre of Excellence (CoE) coaching appointments, is a reflection of the BCCIs systematic planning. Anushka Sharma, who made her T20I debut on the South Africa tour in April, will lead India 'A' for the three T20s against England 'A'. The matches will be played in Northampton on June 20 and 23, followed by the third fixture in Chelmsford on June 25. Harleen Deol will lead the team in the three onedayers beginning June 28 in Hove and Taunton. The 16yearold Deeya Yadav, who was with the Delhi Capitals in WPL before an injury ruled her out, has also been picked in the T20 squad. Let's just say that the entire top brass of Indian cricket players from India A, B, men and women are in the UK playing a series over there. From June onwards till the end of July, everybody who plays cricket in India at the India senior and A level is actually going to be there in the UK. So, it's a good thing, which is a very nice and important aspect as well, because consider the fact that if somebody gets injured, you can just get in a quick replacement if needed. That is the biggest plus over here when you are playing shadow tours. Also, the players you are talking about are good prospects. Whether it is Nikki Prasad, Anushka Sharma, Shabnam Shakil and anyone else, they get valuable outing and match experience and international cricket-like experience when they play on all these tours, Anjum told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Friday. G. Kamalini and Uma Chetry have been included in both squads as wicketkeeper-batters along with leftarm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma, who debuted for India last year. Pratika Rawal will serve as vicecaptain in the 50-over games, while Karnataka batter Vrinda Dinesh has been named as Anushkas deputy in the T20s. So, right now, for the women players, I guess the sky is very open. What you make of the opportunities is in your own hands because earlier, there were no A tours. Now, wherever the Indian team is playing, I think 6, 8, or even 12 months prior or like now, simultaneously as the Indian senior women team is there, the shadow tour is there, which is a great thing to happen. I feel this is actually a compliment for our cricket board because they are able to organise such matches as well on a continuous basis. It's not that one tour will go to Bangladesh, and the Indian senior team will go to England. No, it's not like that, as it's very well planned. If India have to go and play in South Africa, there will be an India 'A' tour, something which would have happened probably 10 or 12 months earlier. So, it's a nice time to be a cricketer as well, and how our cricket association plans it out, I think it's kudos to them too, added Anjum. She also welcomed the appointment of former India players, two-time U19 World Cup-winning head coach Nooshin Al Khadeer, Sunetra Paranjpe and Vanitha VR into the CoE setup, saying their absorption into the system was both timely and deserved. IANS had previously reported on May 14 about the trios appointment at the CoE, and it is understood they are mainly needed for being with the U19 womens team, who are set to play white-ball games against Sri Lanka from June 22 to July 6 in Chennai and Puducherry, respectively. It's good - Nooshin has been around with the Under-19 team since 2023 or maybe since the preparation started. So, she has been around with the Under-19 team and knows the drill. It's nice that Sunetra has also joined, and Vanitha has also taken part. Look, people who want to make a career in this coaching field, and when they get absorbed at the CoE, it means that they have obviously passed all the tests and the requisite reasons, or probably the areas in which they need to be perfectly fit in that CoE coaching setup. It's good - Nooshin has been around with the Under-19 team since 2023 or maybe since the preparation started. So, she has been around with the Under-19 team and knows the drill. It's nice that Sunetra has also joined, and Vanitha has also taken part. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously, all this information gets passed on to the women's players, and I hope it does and that information is shared. But it's always nice to have people who are wanting to make a career in the field of coaching getting this opportunity, concluded Anjum. Article Source: IANS
NGT orders urgent action to curb sewage pollution in Korattur, Madambakkam lakes

Solinas Integrity Private Limited , a deep-tech robotics company incubated at IIT Madras, has been selected as the subject of a case study published on Harvard Business Publishing - the world's foremost repository of business school teaching cases used by institutions across six continents. Authored by Dr. Suresh Srinivasan from the Great Lakes Institute of Management, the case thoughtfully captures Solinas journey, innovation, and growing impact across India. ENDOBOT enables robotic inspection to detect defects inside water, sewer, & stormwater pipelines, while HOMOSEP eliminates manual scavenging through mechanized manhole cleaning Operating at the intersection of public infrastructure and industrial systems, Solinas has emerged as a key player working closely with municipal corporations across multiple states, as well as leading industries.

Through its advanced robotics, AI, and digitization solutions, Solinas is enabling cities to reduce non-revenue water, improve service delivery, and make data-driven decisions. At the same time, its solutions are helping industries ensure operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and infrastructure reliability. Solinas is among a small cohort of Indian startups and fewer still from the WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) sector to be featured in this publishing ecosystem. The case is now available as a teaching resource for MBA programs and business schools worldwide. The HBS case study highlights how Solinas is building a scalable and impact-driven business model in a traditionally underserved sector.

Bhavika Ahire To Lead India U19 As BCCI Unveils Squads For SL U19 White-ball Series
U19 World Cup: India's pathway programme for emerging women's cricketers will take centre stage later this month as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squads and schedule for the upcoming Under-19 white-ball series against Sri Lanka at home. The six-match assignment, comprising three T20s in Chennai and three One-Day matches in Puducherry, is set to provide another important testing ground for players pushing to establish themselves in India's growing youth cricket ecosystem. The announcement highlights Bhavika Ahire's elevation as wicketkeeper-batter and captain in both formats, reflecting her leadership qualities and recent age-group cricket performances. Supporting her will be Mahak Narwase, appointed vice-captain for both the T20 and One-Day teams. This leadership pair will manage a squad composed of players who have progressively advanced through domestic and junior levels. While the selectors have maintained a strong core across both formats, the squads also feature a blend of specialist options tailored to the demands of T20 and 50-over cricket. The continuity suggests a long-term focus on developing combinations and identifying players capable of progressing through the national pathway. Several youngsters have retained the confidence of the selectors across both squads, including Ira Jadhav, Ishwari Awasare, Purva Siwach, Kumari Palak, Kashvi Kandikuppa, Gouri Goyal, Janvi Vikar and Anaadi Tagde. Their inclusion in both formats underlines their growing stature within the junior setup and offers them an opportunity to gain valuable international exposure. The series comes at a significant time for women's age-group cricket, with the Under-19 structure becoming an increasingly important stepping stone toward higher honours. Bilateral contests against overseas opposition provide young players with experiences that domestic cricket alone cannot replicate, including adapting to pressure situations, handling unfamiliar opponents and adjusting to different game scenarios. India's women's cricket system has increasingly benefited from a strong developmental pipeline, with several players successfully transitioning from youth cricket to the senior national side in recent years. The upcoming series against Sri Lanka will therefore be closely watched by selectors and team management as they continue to assess the next wave of talent to build up for the next U19 World Cup. T20 squad: Bhavika Ahire (c & wk), Ira Jadhav, Tanishka Sharma, Ishwari Awasare, Avni Chawda, Mahto Nidhi, Purva Siwach, Kumari Palak, Mahak Narwase (vc), Kashvi Kandikuppa, Maniar Maitri, Gouri Goyal, Janhavi Virkar, Anaadi Tagde, K Deeksha (wk) One-Day squad: Bhavika Ahire (c & wk), Ira Jadhav, Deeya Yadav, Ishwari Awasare, V Pratiksha, Mahto Nidhi, Purva Siwach, Kumari Palak, Mahak Narwase (vc), Kashvi Kandikuppa, Vidhi Parmar, Gouri Goyal, Janhavi Virkar, Anaadi Tagde, K Deeksha (wk) T20I Schedule: June 22: 1st T20 June 24: 2nd T20 June 27: 3rd T20 (All matches to be played in Chennai) ODI Schedule: June 30: 1st OD July 3: 2nd OD June 30: 1st OD Also Read: Live Cricket Score (All matches to be played in Puducherry) Article Source: IANS
