England Recall Robinson, Hand Gay, Rew And Baker Maiden Callups For First Test Against NZ
Australian Marcus North: England have recalled seamer Ollie Robinson after a twoyear absence and named uncapped trio Emilio Gay, James Rew and Sonny Baker in the squad for the first Test against New Zealand, starting at Lords on June 4. The match will also mark Englands first outing since their dismal Ashes campaign. Robinson, 32, returns as England seek an attack leader following the retirements of Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Chris Woakes. He has 76 wickets from 20 Tests, but was dropped after the 2024 tour of India due to fitness concerns. Zak Crawley has been left out after a poor Ashes tour, opening the door for Durhams Gay, who previously refused approaches to play from West Indies and Italy, to open alongside Ben Duckett. Rew, meanwhile, has already struck 12 firstclass hundreds but is more likely to be the reserve middle order batter. Baker, 23, joins the pace group of Robinson, Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson, and Matthew Fisher after having a difficult start to his international career. Shoaib Bashir, ignored during the Ashes, is included and will contest for the spinners slot with leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, who could play a home Test for the first time. England also confirmed Australian Marcus North as their new national selector, replacing Luke Wright. The squad will assemble at Loughborough on May 22 ahead of the Lords Test. Rehan Ahmed and Jacob Bethell, who are currently playing in IPL 2026, will return to England once their commitments with Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are over. Weve selected a squad that we believe has a really exciting blend of proven international quality, strong county form and players with huge potential to develop at Test level. Emilio, James and Sonny have all earned their opportunities through consistent performances and have impressed us not only with their talent, but with the way theyve gone about their cricket in high-pressure situations. Its also great to welcome back players like Rehan, Matt and Ollie, who all bring different qualities and experience to the group. Competition for places remains incredibly strong and thats exactly where we want to be as a Test team. Emilio, James and Sonny have all earned their opportunities through consistent performances and have impressed us not only with their talent, but with the way theyve gone about their cricket in high-pressure situations.

From India Pacer to Minister: Ashok Dinda Begins New Innings as Bengal Sports Minister
The political change in West Bengal has a cricket connection also. Former India pacer Ashok Dinda emerged victorious in the Assembly elections again in Moyna, his birthplace (by 16,241 votes) after his maiden victory in 2021 (by 1260 votes). He donned the India cap in 13 ODIs and 9 T20Is with 12 and 17 wickets, respectively. He took at least one wicket in each of nine T20Is he played, with a career-best 4 for 19 coming in a handsome victory against Sri Lanka in Kandy in 2012. Ashok Dinda is yet to forget all his detractors, who had ridiculed him following an unceremonious ouster from the Bengal team just before the start of the 2019-20 Kanji Trophy. In recent times, he also served as one of the coaches in the Cricket Association of Bengals Vision Project but now has some added responsibility in the states sporting arena, as he has been appointed as the new sports minister of West Bengal. Ashok Dinda had joined politics after ending his playing career in 2021, ahead of the Assembly elections. Incidentally, on the same day, India cricketer Manoj Tiwary joined Trinamool Congress (TMC) and, after his win, was appointed West Bengal's New Sports Minister, although an active cricketer and captained Bengal in the Ranji Trophy. Now Ashok Dinda holds the same portfolio. West Bengal will have another cricketer as their Sports Minister as Manojs predecessor in the ministry was Laxmi Ratan Shukla, another familiar name in Indian cricket. In cricket, Ashok Dinda shall always be remembered as a forgotten star who deserved a Test cap. He was part of KKR in 2008 and played 78 IPL games for five different franchises, claiming 69 wickets at an expensive bowling average of 30+ and higher economy rates. After being with KKR between 2008 and 2010, he got a one-year stint at Delhi Daredevils in 2011 before switching to Pune Warriors India in 2012. Ashok Dinda stayed with that franchise until their dissolution in 2013. In 2014, he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for a two-year stint and ended with the final two-year stretch with Rising Pune SuperGiant in 2016 and 2017. He remains one of the most successful fast bowlers in domestic red-ball cricket as he picked up 420 wickets in just 196 innings. In the Ranji Trophy, he was a stalwart for Bengal, grabbing 339 wickets. Among pacers, only R Vinay Kumar, Pankaj Singh, Basant Mohanty, Madan Lal and Ashish Winston Zaidi had more wickets than Dinda in the Ranji Trophy. His domestic show opened the door for white-ball internationals between 2009 and 2013, but Test cricket opportunity eluded him. Born on March 25, 1984 in Kolkata, Dinda had a powerful and complex bowling action and made his first-class debut in 2005. The right-arm speedster made his India debut in December 2009 in a T20I against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. He continued to play first-class cricket until 2019, featuring 116 of them with the last fixture in 2021. He also took 151 wickets in 98 List A games at an average of 28.50. In 2020, Ashok Dinda left Bengal for Goa but played only one season for his new team before retiring in February 2021. Incidentally, most of the cricketers joining politics recently have some Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) connection. Gautam Gambhir is the leader of the pack and is joined by Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Manoj Tiwary, Ashok Dinda and Yusuf Pathan. A very popular story related to Ashok Dinda is his encounter with Sachin Tendulkar in the Ranji Trophy final between Bengal and Mumbai in 2007. The bowlers in domestic cricket never thought of sledding the Master Blaster but the young Ashoke Dinda glared at Tendulkar after hitting him on the elbow. Deep Dasgupta, the captain of Bengal at the time, had already advised him, 'With Sachin, you just come and bowl' but Dinda had the habit that whenever he would beat the batter, he would just take 2-3 extra steps in his follow-throw and glare at him. Deep categorically told him again, 'Don't say anything to Sachin but Dinda didnt listen to his captain. He stared at Sachin after a few deliveries, and Sachin eventually scored a hundred (105). Mumbai won the match by 132 runs. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Now Ashok Dinda has a new challenge in front of him. I come from a sports background, not politics. Representing India was a matter of pride. But politics is also about serving people, living among them, and helping them. Its a blessing, a gift from God. Not everyone gets this opportunity. Many people have wealth, but they dont get the chance to serve. Helping someone get hospital care, supporting families who cant afford medicine, that is something truly meaningful, he says.

His successful extradition and arrest come as a major shot in the arm for NIAs fight against Pakistan-backed narco and cross border terrorism. an official spokesperson said in a statement The arrested fugitive had a non-bailable warrant of arrest (NBW) against him in the case RC-23/2020/NIA/DLI (HM Narco-Terror Module) since October 2020. An Interpol Notice had also been in place for his arrest since June 2021, the statement said. In its investigation in the case, NIA had found Shera to be a key conspirator and handler of an India-based narco-terror module engaged in smuggling heroin from Pakistan.

He had coordinated and overseen the trafficking and distribution of the smuggled drugs, and channelised the proceeds through hawala networks to Pakistan and Kashmir based operatives of HM to facilitate terror activities, it said.

He had maintained closed links with Pak-based HM terror operatives. The case was originally registered by Punjab Police following the arrest of an HM overground worker, identified as Hilal Ahmed Shergojri. The police had also recovered Rs. 29 lakhs of drug proceeds from the possession of Hilal a close aide of deceased terrorist commander Riyaz Ahmed Naikoo. Further investigation had led to the recovery of another Rs. 32 lakhs as narco terror proceeds from various Punjab-based members of the terror gang. NIA, after taking over the case, had launched massive efforts to dismantle the module and secure Sheras extradition. Further investigation in the case is continuing.

China records steepest population decline amid falling births, marriages
New Delhi, May 13: China continues to witness a sharp decline in population growth, with the countrys population shrinking for the fourth consecutive year amid falling birth and marriage rates. The demographic trend is increasingly being viewed as a major long-term challenge for the Chinese economy, as a shrinking workforce and a rapidly ageing population place pressure on pension and healthcare systems while slowing economic growth. According to data released by Chinas Ministry of Civil Affairs of China, around 1.697 million couples registered marriages during the first three months of this year, down 6.24 percent compared to the same period last year. The figure marked the lowest first-quarter marriage total since 2020, when 1.557 million couples tied the knot during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns in China. Traditionally, the first quarter is considered a peak wedding season due to the Chinese New Year holidays. Despite repeated government efforts to encourage marriage and childbirth, Chinas birth count dropped to a record low of 7.92 million last year. Official figures show that annual births have declined by more than 10 million since peaking in 2016. Chinas total population fell by 3.39 million last year to 1.4049 billion, according to official data. In absolute terms, it was the steepest annual population decline recorded in the countrys modern history, excluding the devastating famine between 1959 and 1961. Analysts say the continuing demographic decline could have far-reaching consequences for Chinas economic productivity, labour market, and social welfare systems in the coming decades.

There should always be window for dialogue with Pak, people-to-people contact key: RSS's Hosabale
New Delhi, May 13: People-to-people contact is key to breaking the deadlock with Pakistan and there should always be a window for dialogue, top RSS functionary Dattatreya Hosabale said on Tuesday. In an interview with PTI Videos, Hosabale said Pakistan's military and political leadership have lost India's confidence and it is time for civil society to lead the way. The security and self-respect of a country have to be protected and the government of the day should take care of it. But at the same time, we need not close the doors. We should always be ready to engage them in a dialogue, he said. The RSS general secretary termed people-to-people contact the key in breaking the deadlock between the two countries and said that it should be tried more and more now. While the government has been silent on track-two diplomacy, several intellectuals, including opposition leaders, have long advocated civil society engagement. This is the one hope I think, because I believe strongly that ultimately the civil society relations (will work). Because we have a cultural relation and we have been one nation, Hosabale said. So, that has to be emphasised, he said. He was asked how India should deal with Pakistan and its continued sponsorship of terrorism. See everything has been tried (diplomatically) and Pakistan keeps making pinpricks, he said, citing terrorist attacks such as 26/11, Pulwama and Pahalgam. Trade and commerce, issuance of visas should not stop because here should be a window (open) always for a dialogue, he said. That's why diplomatic relations have been maintained, Hosabale added. He said academicians, sportspersons, scientists and community leaders should come forward there, as their political leadership and military leadership have developed some aversion to India.
