Mosaddek Hossain And Nahid Rana Star As Bangladesh Beat Australia After 21 Years In ODI Cricket

Bangla National Stadium: Mosaddek Hossain marked his return to international cricket in style with an unbeaten 86, while pacer Nahid Rana ripped through the Australian batting line-up with 4 for 41 as Bangladesh stunned Australia by 86 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in the opening ODI in Dhaka on Tuesday, securing their first 50-over victory over the six-time world champions since the famous Cardiff triumph in 2005. For a long time, Cardiff 2005 was the key moment in Bangladesh's ODI history against Australia. On Tuesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Bangladesh added another chapter by outplaying Australia to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Set a target of 285 runs, Australia was struggling at 191 for 9 when rain and lightning forced the match to be called off. This gave Bangladesh an 86-run victory under the DLS method. Cameron Green fought hard with an unbeaten 52, but wickets fell regularly around him as the visitors never recovered from an early collapse. Bangladesh's victory relied on two standout players. Mosaddek, recalled after a four-year absence, scored the highest of his ODI career with an unbeaten 86 and later took 2 for 37 in his 10 overs. Rana delivered a strong spell of fast bowling, finishing with 4 for 41. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman had already put Australia on the back foot at 2 for 2. Australia's day was worsened by poor fielding. They dropped four catches, including three chances from Mosaddek. Their ground fielding also left a lot to be desired. After winning the toss and choosing to field, Australia started well when Nathan Ellis dismissed Saif Hassan quickly. However, Tanzid Hasan responded aggressively, driving and pulling confidently. He hit Cameron Green for a six over midwicket during the Powerplay. Tanzid reached his half-century off 41 balls before getting out for 54 to Ellis. Najmul Hossain Shanto kept the momentum going with a smooth 67, taking on the seamers and debutant Liam Scott before getting caught by Matt Renshaw at long-off. Litton Das managed only 7 before falling to Renshaw. Mosaddek then took charge of the innings. Fresh off a successful Dhaka Premier League campaign with Abahani, he gradually picked up the pace, combining traditional play with some innovation. He shared a 75-run fifth-wicket partnership with Towhid Hridoy and added another 45 runs with Taskin Ahmed. His innings included two reverse hits and a huge six off Adam Zampa over long-off in the 44th over, leading Bangladesh to finish at 284 for 8. Australia's chase fell apart right away. Taskin's first ball broke through Matthew Short's defence, while Mustafizur got Marnus Labuschagne lbw soon after, leaving Australia at 2 for 2. Cooper Connolly survived an early dropped catch and started to rebuild with captain Josh Inglis. However, Rana's extra bounce forced Inglis to edge the ball behind the stumps. Connolly and Alex Carey added 40 runs before Mosaddek struck, bowling Connolly and later dismissing Matt Renshaw. Rana continued to excel, getting Carey out for 47 before adding Liam Scott and Xavier Bartlett. Although he missed a five-wicket haul, his fiery spell put Bangladesh in control. Green reached his fourth ODI fifty and remained not out on 52, but with Australia at 191 for 9, the outcome was clear. Rana continued to excel, getting Carey out for 47 before adding Liam Scott and Xavier Bartlett. Although he missed a five-wicket haul, his fiery spell put Bangladesh in control.

Hosted by England and Wales, the tournament begins on June 12 and promises to be the largest edition in the competition's history, featuring 12 teams for the first time. The tournament returns to England for the first time since the inaugural edition in 2009. On that occasion, England lifted the trophy under the leadership of Charlotte Edwards, who now serves as head coach of the national women's team. The hosts will also draw inspiration from their memorable ICC Women's Cricket World Cup triumph on home soil in 2017. New Zealand enter the tournament as defending champions after securing their maiden Women's T20 World Cup title in the UAE in 2024. The White Ferns became only the fourth team to lift the trophy since the competition's inception in 2009. England won the inaugural edition in 2009, while West Indies claimed their only title in 2016. Australia remain the most successful side in tournament history, having won the title six times.

Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands booked their spots through the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Global Qualifier earlier this year. Netherlands will make their Women's T20 World Cup debut after finishing among the qualifying teams at the Global Qualifier. Their qualification marks another significant step in the growth of women's cricket across Europe and adds a fresh dimension to this year's competition. A record 12 teams have been split into two groups of six. While Group A consists of Australia, Bangladesh, India, the Netherlands, Pakistan and South Africa, hosts England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies form Group B. Each team will play the other sides in their group once during the round-robin stage. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals, with the winners progressing to the final. The tournament's 33 matches will be played across seven venues in England. They are Old Trafford (Manchester), Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Bristol County Ground (Bristol), Hampshire Bowl (Southampton), The Oval (London), and Lord's (London). All participating teams will play two warm-up matches before the tournament begins. The warm-up fixtures start on June 6 and will be staged across Derby, Loughborough and Cardiff, providing teams with an opportunity to fine-tune preparations ahead of the main event. The semi-finals will be held at The Oval on June 30 and July 2, while the final will take place at Lord's on July 5. The ICC has announced a record prize pool of USD 8,764,615 for the tournament, representing a 10 per cent increase from the previous edition. The winners will receive USD 2,340,000, while the runners-up will earn USD 1,170,000. Losing semi-finalists will take home USD 675,000 each, while every group-stage victory will be worth USD 31,154. All 12 participating teams are guaranteed a minimum payout of USD 247,500. The increase in prize money reflects the ICC's continued commitment to expanding and strengthening the women's game globally. With established powers such as Australia, England and reigning ODI world champions India, joined by emerging sides including Scotland and debutants Netherlands, the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup promises to be one of the most competitive and significant editions in the tournament's history.

Responsible Parenting: First line of defence against addiction and deviance

Making responsible parenting central in the fight against drugs and social crimes DR ABRAR HASSAN The Kashmir Valley today stands at a difficult crossroads. For decades, our conversations were dominated by politics and survival. Now, another crisis has crept into our homes: drug addiction and a disturbing rise in social crimes among our youth. The statistics are alarming, but the lived reality is even more painful; parents waiting outside de-addiction centres, mothers hiding their jewellery to stop it from being sold, neighbourhoods whispering about yet another boy caught stealing, peddling, or worse. In the rush to blame governments, schools, or bad company, we often sidestep an uncomfortable question: what happened inside our homes? Somewhere along the way, our patterns of parenting changed, our presence in our childrens lives thinned, and our vigilance dulled. If the streets have become more dangerous, it is partly because the home has ceased to be the strong, nurturing, and watchful space it once was. The shift inside Kashmiri homes Kashmiri society traditionally prided itself on close-knit families, moral codes, and community watchfulness. Elders, neighbours, and relatives all played a role in shaping a childs behaviour. Today, that structure is fraying. Economic pressures push parents to work longer hours. The joint family is giving way to nuclear units. Smartphones and social media have stepped in where elders and community conversations once stood. In many homes, children grow up with material comfort but emotional distance. Parents are physically present yet mentally absent; scrolling, working, or constantly busy. Difficult conversations about stress, anxiety, attraction, peer pressure, and drugs are either hushed up or postponed indefinitely. We still expect obedience, but we rarely invest time in building trust. This gap is precisely where drugs and deviant behaviour find space to enter. A teenager who cannot talk to his father about failure or to her mother about fear will often find someone else to listen, the worst kind of listener. Love without limits, discipline without cruelty Responsible parenting does not mean stricter control alone; it means wiser engagement. In many Kashmiri homes, we swing between two extremes. On one side is harsh, authoritarian parenting that demands unquestioned obedience, using shame, comparison, and fear as tools. On the other side is permissive neglect, where children are given expensive phones, late nights, and unchecked freedom in the name of trust or modernity, without any boundaries or guidance. Both extremes are dangerous. The overly controlled child may rebel in secret, seeking escape in drugs or risky behaviour. The overly indulged child may grow up without a sense of consequence, seeing no harm in experimentation or petty crime. A more balanced approach is urgently needed. Children must feel deeply loved but also clearly guided. They should know that certain lines, drugs, violence, disrespect, and dishonesty are non-negotiable. At the same time, they should also know that if they make a mistake, the first place they can turn to for help is home, not the street. Seeing the early signs and not looking away Parents in the Valley often recognise the signs of trouble but hope that it will pass. Changes in sleep, sudden aggression, withdrawal from family, unexplained expenses, new suspicious friendships, or frequent calls at odd hours are often dismissed as normal teenage behaviour. By the time reality is acknowledged, addiction or criminal involvement has taken deeper root. Responsible parenting demands courage; the courage to see what we do not want to see. It requires parents to ask uncomfortable questions, to verify where their children spend time, to know their friends, and to keep an eye on their digital lives. Privacy is important, but so is protection. A minor under your roof is your responsibility, morally and legally. Equally important is early intervention. If a parent suspects substance use, the response should not be denial, beating, or public shaming. It should be a calm but firm confrontation, followed by seeking professional help. There is no honour in hiding addiction until it destroys a family. Schools, mosques, mohallas but first, the home It is easy to call for more policing, stricter laws, and harsher punishments. These have their place, but they treat symptoms, not causes. The real work begins much earlier in the lap of the mother, in the attention of the father, in the value system of the home. Schools must integrate real, honest discussions about drugs, mental health, and consent. Religious institutions must move beyond abstract sermons and address the lived realities of our youth. Mohalla committees must keep an eye on suspicious activities and protect, not stigmatise, vulnerable families. Yet, even these efforts will fail if the home remains absent. A teacher sees a child for a few hours; a parent shapes a life. A police officer can arrest; a parent can prevent. A cleric can advise; a parent can embody. No institution can replace a mother who listens daily or a father who spends time knowing his child. Reclaiming our moral duty Kashmirs pain has many layers. Drug addiction and social crimes are not isolated problems but symptoms of a deeper breakdown in how we live, communicate, and care. We can debate politics endlessly, but within our own four walls, we do not need any policy to start being more responsible. Every parent in the Valley must ask: Do I know what my child is going through? Do I know their fears, their doubts, their mistakes? Am I available not only with money, but with time, attention, and guidance? If the answer is no, then the first reform we need is not in the Secretariat, the school, or the station house; it is in our own homes. If our homes become stronger, our youth will be less vulnerable, and our streets safer. Responsible parenting is not a slogan or a social media campaign. In todays Kashmir, it is nothing less than an act of social defence and perhaps, the most powerful one we still have in our hands. ( The author has a PhD in child education

No salaries before Eid, J&Ks dialysis centres struggle to stay afloat

By Mansoor Peer Srinagar, May 26: Empanelled private dialysis centres across J&K have been forced to sell their machines and equipment due to pending payments under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The delay in reimbursement has adversely affected patient care and put the jobs of health workers at risk.The healthcare crisis in these centres has reached a new low. Due to years of pending payments under Ayushman BharatSEHAT Scheme, private dialysis centres are facing bankruptcy. Dr Abdul Rashid Reshi, Director Kidneycare and Diagnostic Centre, Srinagar, is among many owners of these centres who have been affected and are not getting the payments regularly. I am not getting payments regularly from Ayushman Bharat scheme of my haemodialysis patients and a huge amount is pending with State Health Agency for the last two years, he said. Reshi, ex professor and head of nephrology SKIMS, said he is unable to pay money to suppliers for disposable items while the electricity bills are pending, rent of the dialysis unit is unpaid, diesel expenses and salaries of the employees is pending for 6 months. It is impossible to run my dialysis centre under such circumstances. I appeal to the Lieutenant Governor and Chief Minister to help me in such circumstances and get the long-standing pending payments released. Otherwise, I am destined to close the unit and sell the machines and other equipment so that I can pay the pending payments, he said. Sandeep Mengi President (Jammu region) Jammu and Kashmir Private Hospitals and Dialysis Centres Association (JKPHDA) called the payment delay unfortunate stating that dialysis owners are being forced to take such steps, which will have devastating effects and patients will suffer as dialysis is a life-saving procedure. Missing even one session can be fatal for kidney patients. If centres close, thousands of Golden Card beneficiaries will have no access to care. Government hospitals lack the capacity to absorb this patient load, he said. Sandeep said not releasing payments on time will lead to unemployment as each dialysis unit employs doctors, technicians, nurses, and support staff. Closure means direct job losses for skilled healthcare workers, and it will hit hard critical medical infrastructure that took years to build. Dr. Masood ul Hassan, General Secretary of JKPHDA said that despite regular follow-ups with the Government regarding pending payments, the delay is now affecting centre operations. We urge immediate intervention to ensure patients continue receive uninterrupted care.He added that the delay in Ayushman Bharat payments has put financial strain on centres. Unfortunately, we were unable to pay our staff before Eid, which has caused distress during what should have been a festive time, he said. JKPHDA has demanded immediate release of dues and a shift the payment process to insurance mode, warning that if life-saving machines are sold for scrap today, patients will suffer tomorrow.
