In What Capacity? NC Questions Mehboobas AIIMS Visit
Younus Rashid Srinagar, Jun 5: Jammu and Kashmir Health Minister Sakina Itoo on Friday questioned former Chief Minister Mehbooba Muftis visit to AIIMS Awantipora, asking in what capacity former rulers were conducting reviews of the prestigious healthcare project. Taking to X, Itoo said, Some people seem to be suffering from political amnesia. They still behave as if they are in power, even though they lost office in 2018 and have since been repeatedly rejected by the people. The Health Minister said the elected government in Jammu and Kashmir is led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and questioned the authority under which former rulers were undertaking such exercises. The elected government today is led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. Yet, one wonders in what capacity former rulers are conducting reviews of the AIIMS Awantipora project. More importantly, who is signalling them to undertake such exercises? Which power centre in Delhi is directing these actions? she wrote. Itoo said it was ironic that those responsible for delays in the project were now attempting to claim credit for its progress. It is ironic that those because of whom the AIIMS project moved at a painfully slow pace are now trying to claim ownership of its progress, she said. The minister said the project was moving towards completion because of the efforts of the present government.

All Eyes On T20I Captaincy As Selectors Convene To Pick Indias Squads For Multiple Tours
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: While the second session of the first day in the India-Afghanistan one-off Test match is underway in New Chandigarh, all eyes will be on Mumbai when the Ajit Agarkarled senior national selection committee will meet at the BCCI headquarters on Saturday to finalise Indias squads for the upcoming T20I tours of Ireland and England. Following the meeting, Agarkar and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia are scheduled to address a press conference at 1 pm on the fourth floor of the boards headquarters. India will play two T20Is in Ireland on June 26 and 28, followed by five matches in England from July 1 to 11. The Agarkar-led panel will also pick India's 'A squad for the red-ball series against Sri Lanka, to be played from June 25 to July 5, as well as release a shortlist of players for the Mens T20 event at the Asian Games, to be played in Nagoya, Japan. The biggest talking point, though, will be the future of T20I captaincy, which is all set to dominate discussions in the selection meeting. Suryakumar Yadav, who led India to a historic defence of the Mens T20 World Cup title in March, has been in a prolonged lean patch. He managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at an average of 20.76 and a strike rate of 147.54. Even in the World Cup, Suryakumar wasnt at his prolific best -- scoring 242 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 136.72. With Suryakumar turning 36 in September, it will be interesting to see if he will retain his captaincy or lose both the leadership armband and his place in the side. Amongst the frontrunners to succeed Suryakumar, Shreyas Iyer has been the standout candidate. An in-form Iyer led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL crown in 2024 and guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. He also captained Mumbai to win the 2024/25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. If named as Indias 15th mens T20I captain, it will cap off an extraordinary turn of events for Iyer, the current vice-captain in ODIs. Iyer wasnt in the T20I set-up for the previous World Cup cycle, though he was in the squad for the series win over New Zealand earlier this year as a replacement for injured Tilak Varma. Other leadership options include Hardik Pandya, who is currently working on his fitness at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru after back spasms hurt him in IPL 2026 and led India in 16 T20Is before. Other candidates for the leadership role include Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson. If not for the leadership role, the trio could be in the mix for the vice-captains role, too. Deliberations will be there on including teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and two-time IPL-winning captain Rajat Patidar in the T20I team after the duo had a stellar time in IPL 2026 with the bat. But how the duo will be accommodated in the line-up, already having Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan in the top order, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, with Indias Test team set to play a crucial two-game series in Sri Lanka in August, the selectors may also send senior redball players to feature in the shadow A tour for early acclimatisation of batting in spin-friendly conditions and bowling with the red Kookaburra ball. Deliberations will be there on including teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and two-time IPL-winning captain Rajat Patidar in the T20I team after the duo had a stellar time in IPL 2026 with the bat. But how the duo will be accommodated in the line-up, already having Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan in the top order, remains to be seen.

Shubman Gill's India Ready For Red-ball Return As Afghanistan Await In Historic New Chandigarh Test
New PCA Stadium: Less than a week after the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 ended, Shubman Gill's India are gearing up to return to traditional cricket when they host Afghanistan in a one-off Test at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh starting on Saturday. Although this match does not count towards the World Test Championship cycle, India has stated they will treat it as seriously as any other Test. This match is India's first Test since their series against South Africa in November. It poses a unique challenge for a squad still adjusting to franchise cricket. Eight players from the 15-man squad participated in the IPL final, leaving little time to shift from white-ball cricket to the patience and discipline required in the longest format. For Gill, this match presents another chance to assert his authority as Indias Test captain while leading a team in transition. The hosts will play without veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who is rested. With Ravichandran Ashwin retired, India will play a home Test without both stalwarts for the first time since 2010. Head coach Gautam Gambhir dismissed claims that the match holds less importance because it is outside the World Test Championship. A Test match is a Test match. I know people say this isnt part of the World Test Championship, but for me, it is a Test match. We need to win for the country because you don't differentiate between Test matches, whether they are part of the World Test Championship or not. That is why we will try to field our full-strength side for this Test, Gambhir said. This match is also important for the venue itself. Until last week, the New PCA Stadium showcased IPL colours as one of Punjab Kings' home grounds and hosted the Eliminator and Qualifier 2. Now it is preparing for its first Test, becoming the 31st venue to host a men's Test in India. Indias team management has confirmed that Sai Sudharsan will continue at No. 3, showing their confidence in him as a long-term solution in that crucial position. The match also marks an important milestone for Rishabh Pant, who is set to play his 50th Test. Only MS Dhoni and Syed Kirmani have played in more Tests as wicketkeepers for India. With Ashwin retired and Jadeja unavailable, much of the spin workload will fall on Kuldeep Yadav. The left-arm wrist-spinner had a challenging IPL campaign, taking just 10 wickets in 12 matches. However, he has used the break since Delhi Capitals' early exit to regain his form with the red ball. Meanwhile, Afghanistan arrive aiming to showcase how far they have come since their first Test appearance against India in Bengaluru in 2018. In that match, they lost in under two days by an innings, but captain Hashmatullah Shahidi believes his team is better prepared this time. The visitors are missing star leg-spinner Rashid Khan, but they still have an experienced core led by Shahidi and Rahmat Shah. Rahmat is Afghanistan's top Test batter, holding records for runs, centuries, and fifty-plus scores in the format. He enters this match needing just 30 runs to become the first Afghanistan player to reach 1,000 Test runs. The Test will also mark the start of a new era for Afghanistan under head coach Richard Pybus, who expects conditions to change significantly over the five days. This is a new stadium, it is a new wicket. I think the Indian coaching staff will be as curious to see how the wicket plays as we are. It looks like a good cricket wicket, but I have no doubt the heat will pull moisture out quickly. It has a solid covering of grass, but will it hold together? Spinners will play a major role in the game, even though it looks pretty green at the moment, Pybus said. The black-soil surface is predicted to be good for batting early on, although rising June temperatures, expected to reach 40 degrees Celsius, could change its nature as the game progresses. Such conditions are likely to favour spinners and will require endurance and patience.
