Tried To Dissuade Bharat From Retiring, But He Was Hellbent On Moving On, Says Prasad
ICC Cricket World Cup League: Former India wicketkeeper and chief selector MSK Prasad on Thursday said he had tried convincing KS Bharat not to retire from international cricket, but the Andhra player was hellbent on moving on, describing the decision as both surprising and unfortunate. In a surprise development on Thursday evening, wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 32. Bharat first got an India call-up in November 2019 but made his Test debut in February 2023 after Rishabh Pant was sidelined due to recovery from his injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident. I am aware of it because this was very, very surprising to me. I even tried to speak to him, but somehow he said that I am moving on. Because I have seen him growing from the under-13 age group, it was really shocking to me when he said this. But what to do, it is very unfortunate. In fact, I also made my retirement at 31 and a half, but he has made up his mind now. So, probably he felt that he needed to move on, and probably he wants to focus on something else. I tried my level best to convince him and even spoke to him, but he is hell-bent on moving on, Prasad told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Thursday. Bharat is also remembered for taking two catches and effecting one stumping when Wriddhiman Saha had a stiff neck during the Kanpur Test against New Zealand in 2021. But Bharat was inconsistent in his glovework and run-making, which meant that he wasnt considered for the Test team after playing the second Test against England at his hometown Visakhapatnam in February 2024. In seven Tests, including playing in the 2023 World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval, Bharat amassed 223 runs with a highest score of 44 and an average of 20.09. Bharat also made 10 appearances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, while scoring 199 runs. I feel that he still had some mettle left in him to make a comeback. He was a fantastic keeper, and there is no two ways about it. I think he has got a safe pair of hands and was a decent batter because I have seen him growing from under-13. But then, he has got some other ideas, and one has to respect that, added Prasad. Speculation was rife on a section of social media, which suggested that Bharat could be on his way to representing the UAE after he was allegedly seen practising with their team in a few sessions last month. However, sources told IANS that there was no truth in it, though they admitted that Bharat was in Dubai around that time and wanted to practice or train with the UAE national team, which is why he showed up for the same.

Bharat represented India in seven Tests and featured prominently in domestic cricket for Andhra. With a proud heart and sense of gratitude, I announce my retirement from international Cricket. To play for my country has been the greatest honour of my life. This journey of mine has demanded great resilience and strength, but the Honour to represent India in Tests is worth every moment. In a family of four, we all lived the same dream over two decades, a big heart to my sister, mom, and dad for creating an environment and support system they have been. I am a product of their love, discipline, and hard work, wrote Bharat in a note on his Instagram account on Thursday. Bharat first got an India call-up in November 2019 but made his Test debut in February 2023 after Rishabh Pant was sidelined due to recovery from his injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident. Hes also remembered for taking two catches and effecting one stumping when Wriddhiman Saha had a stiff neck during the Kanpur Test against New Zealand in 2021.

In seven Tests, including playing in the 2023 World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval, Bharat amassed 223 runs with a highest score of 44 and an average of 20.09. Thank you, BCCI, and all the coaches and managers whom I came across in my career and who supported me unconditionally by creating a great environment to play and excel at the highest level. Thank you, Andhra Cricket Association, VDCA, and all office-bearers, for your support and encouragement from my childhood. I owe massive gratitude and respect to all the Groundsmen who have worked very, very hard to ensure the best pitches and ground conditions were given to me at all times. To all my teammates, I extend a big thank you for all the moments and achievements together, which helped me in my career, and without you all, it would not have been possible for me to achieve my dream and play the sport all these years. A big thank you to my IPL debut captain, Virat Kohli, for giving me an opportunity to show my skills and come into recognition. A big thank you to my Indian Captain Rohit Sharma, under whom I made my Test debut, which is priceless and beyond words. To my Indian coach, Rahul Dravid sir, his guidance from India A to the Indian team is unforgettable. With your support, I could become an Indian Test cricket player, added Bharat. In domestic cricket, Bharat was the first wicketkeeper-batter to score a triple-hundred in the Ranji Trophy, when he smashed 308 off 311 balls for Andhra against Goa in Ongole in the 2014/15 Ranji Trophy season. In all, he made 6102 runs in 113 first-class games at an average of 36.53, apart from 2692 and 1812 runs in List A and 20-over matches respectively. To my coach, J. Krishna Rao, thank you for shaping me into an international cricketer at a young age. To the fans and cricket lovers across the world, thank you for your endless support and encouragement whenever I represented our country. Hearing our national anthem and sharing the field with great ambassadors of the game are memories I will cherish forever. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of my journey. Cricket had given me everything in many ways, and I owe it to my life, added Bharat. In IPL, Bharat was a part of Delhi Daredevils in 2015, before playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2021 season, where he smashed an unbeaten 78 in a thrilling last-ball win over Delhi Capitals, where he lofted Avesh Khan for a straight six. In the following three years, Bharat was a part of the Delhi Capitals (2022), Gujarat Titans (2023), and Kolkata Knight Riders (when they won the trophy in 2024), but didnt get many chances. About his future plans, Bharat said his focus will be on mentoring the next generation of cricketers. My advice to young players is to dream big and work hard to achieve it. Dreams do come true with grit, discipline, hard work, and determination. If I could achieve my dream, so can you.

My Focus Is Fully On Playing Redball Cricket, Says Kuldeep Yadav, Ahead Of Test Against Afghanistan
World Test Championship: Indias left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has said his focus is fully on playing redball cricket as he prepares to lead the spin attack in the oneoff Test against Afghanistan, starting on Saturday. Kuldeep managed only 10 wickets in 12 matches at an average of 38.10 and an economy rate of 10.29, as the Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for IPL 2026 playoffs. The early exit, however, gave him additional time to prepare for the rigours of a longer format. In 17 Tests so far, Kuldeep has picked up 76 wickets at an average of 22.4. As an attacking spinner, I want to get breakthroughs for the team regularly, and that's my only mindset. My focus is fully on playing red-ball cricket. There are several important Test series coming up, especially the five-match series against Australia at home. That series will play a crucial role in determining our campaign in this World Test Championship cycle. I know the challenges will be there when we play in Sri Lanka and travel to New Zealand for two matches. But it is important to have the right frame of mind and fulfil the role given to me to the best of my ability. I believe that if you have a quality spin attack in your team, you can break the game open in any situation. It is a huge component of a successful Test side because, if you have quality, you can take wickets anywhere, irrespective of the conditions, said Kuldeep on JioHotstar. From a personal perspective, Kuldeep admitted the mental transition of bowling from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 to preparing for Test cricket has been a demanding one. It is tough when you switch from IPL cricket to redball cricket. Preparation becomes very necessary. Luckily, I have time. I practised for at least 10 to 15 days and got the feel of the red ball. Bowling in Test cricket is different. In T20, you are always attacking. You always think about going after the batter. But in Test cricket, the batter has a lot of time. It all depends on how much patience you have and how long you can keep bowling in the right areas. Consistency in a good length matters. That is a big challenge. Tactics also matter a lot. Some players are coming straight after the IPL final. They don't have that much time. But I'm sure they have prepared well. So yes, it's a challenge, but I'm confident that everyone is preparing themselves well. He also shared his thoughts on welcoming newbie spinners Manav Suthar and Harsh Dubey into the spin bowling department at the expense of a rested Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. The preparations have been going well for the Afghanistan Test match. We have had two net sessions so far. Yes, Jaddu bhai is not there. He is a regular in Tests. We will also miss Axar Patel.

Antara , Indias most comprehensive senior care ecosystem offering end-to-end solutions across all stages of ageing, has opened an integrative medicine clinic in Gurugram, purpose-built for managing chronic conditions. The Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic (AIWC) brings integrative medicine, combining modern medicine with evidence-based holistic therapies, into Antaras continuum of care for the first time. Here, a multidisciplinary team of doctors deliver personalised care plans that take a holistic view of a person rather than treating symptoms. The launch marks a significant evolution in how Antara serves seniors, and in how health and wellbeing can be approached as Indias population gets older, the disease burden grows, and the gap between lifespan and health span widens. The Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram Globally, integrative medicine has gained acceptance for its role in improving outcomes in chronic disease management and enhancing quality of life. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises it as an interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach that combines conventional medicine with traditional therapies, such as Ayurveda and energy healing, to look at the mind, body and spirit together; the focus is on the root cause of illness, not just its symptoms. Ms. Tara Singh Vachani, Executive Chairperson, Antara Senior Care , said, Antara has spent more than a decade walking alongside families through all stages of ageing. We have seen them navigate the complexities of a fragmented healthcare system, disjointed treatment plans and episodic care that seldom restore quality of life. Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic is our answer to preserve seniors dignity and independence. It is built on the conviction that patients problems should be addressed holistically as good health is a combination of physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing. As Indias senior population and chronic disease burden grow, fully integrated, holistic wellness models will become key to unlocking a healthy society . Mr. Rajit Mehta, CEO & MD, Antara Senior Care , said, Indians are living longer, but the years added are too often years lived with disease, dependency and fatigue. The gap between lifespan and health span is the gap we strive to close. Our goal is straightforward: help seniors live their best life possible; prevent the hospital visits we can, reduce medication where possible, and restore function where we can. At AIWC, seniors benefit from a coordinated care journey designed by one multidisciplinary team, beginning with a comprehensive health assessment, followed by personalised wellness plan, and multi-pronged approach that addresses physical, mental and emotional health. Dr. Pankaj Verma, Medical Director, Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic , explained, In integrative medicine, modern medicine is the anchor, and traditional systems work alongside it to address lifestyle, stress, the inflammation that sits underneath chronic diseases. For a senior with diabetes, hypertension and joint pain, coming to AIWC means a clear focus on addressing the root causethe hidden mind-body link that often feeds the disease.

No theatrics, only consistency: MP Aga Ruhullah sets condition for J&K statehood fight
Srinagar, June 4: National Conference senior leader and Srinagar MP Syed Aga Ruhullah Mehdi on Thursday said any fight for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmirs statehood and constitutional guarantees must be based on consistency and credibility, not theatrics or optics. Speaking to news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS), MP Ruhullah said credibility of the political leadership was at stake as people were asking questions. The condition is that there should be sustainability and consistency. If there is no consistency, then there will be theatrics, the MP said. Srinagar MP Ruhulla who claimed he was not invited to yesterdays party meeting, said a serious movement required a roadmap and outreach across Kashmir and Delhi. Do not try to fool people by sitting somewhere for a day. Make a roadmap. Reach out to the whole of Kashmir. Create a movement, he said. He also called for forcing the Prime Ministers Office (PMO) and creating momentum inside and outside Parliament. Citing the example of Ladakh, MP Mehdi said Kashmirs political leadership should learn how to fight unitedly for rights. If everyone is sincere, all political parties should suspend their political identities and come together on a single platform.We should build a democratic and peaceful movement until the rights taken away in 2019 are restored, he said while speaking to KNS. The MP said he was willing to take the first step by resigning from Parliament if a common movement was formed.I will be the first one to resign from Parliament. Let representatives be chosen from a common movement platform rather than party platforms until our constitutional rights are restored, he said. MP Ruhullah said political parties often unite briefly before returning to electoral competition, which weakens collective efforts. If parties are serious, they should keep electoral politics aside and focus entirely on the movement. People will only trust such efforts if they see sincerity and consistency, he said. Notably, The National Conference on Wednesday announced it will hold a protest in New Delhi on the first day of Parliaments Monsoon Session, pressing for restoration of J&Ks statehood and constitutional guarantees.
