Statehood essential for J&Ks prosperity: Karra

Jammu, Sep 2: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president Tariq Hamid Karra on Wednesday said restoration of statehood is essential for the development and prosperity of Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that the Congress has been at the forefront of the demand for the past two years. Addressing a press conference in Jammu, Karra said the Congress had consistently raised the issue of statehood through protests and campaigns at various levels, including in Jammu, Srinagar, across districts and even in Delhi and Lucknow. As far as statehood is concerned, if anyone has taken this cause forward, it is the Congress Party and JKPCC, Karra said, adding that the party has been working on the issue for the last two years. He said the Congress had held protests at the district, regional and national levels to press for the restoration of statehood. We are happy that other parties have also participated in it. We have reached the point that the Congress Party has fixedthat as long as there is no statehood, the people here cannot prosper, he said. Responding to allegations and counter-allegations among political parties, Karra said such developments were part of democratic politics. He claimed that people of Jammu and Kashmir were now looking for an alternative to the present system of governance. People have understood that this type of government should not exist. They are looking for an alternative, he said, asserting that the Congress could emerge as that alternative in the future. Karra also defended the partys organisational activities, saying the Congress was focusing more on strengthening its organisation and putting pressure on the government rather than engaging in what he termed show-off politics. On speculation regarding political developments within the Congress and the possible return of certain leaders, Karra said he had no information about such developments. I am the head of the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the party. If anyone knows about it, I should know first. In my knowledge, there is no such thing, he said. Commenting on the ongoing political speculation in Jammu and Kashmir, Karra said the Congress would decide its political course based on its own agenda. He said the party was providing political space to those joining it but made it clear that newcomers would have to follow the Congress's existing agenda. Whoever comes from outside will have to follow the agenda of our party. No one will come with a new agenda from outside and think that we will apply it here. This cannot happen, Karra said.

UP T20 League: How UPCA Speed Hunt Changed The Life Of Barabanki's Shakti Verma

How UPCA Speed Hunt: From working a private job for 7,000 a month to sharing a dressing room with established Indian Premier League (IPL) stars like Sameer Rizvi, Mohsin Khan, and Karn Sharma, Shakti Vermas rise is one of the most compelling stories of Season 4 of the UP T20 League. Hailing from Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh, the fast bowler was discovered through the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Associations (UPCA) Speed Hunt, a grassroots talent scouting initiative. He consistently clocked speeds of 138 km/h to top the charts at the Lucknow selection trials, earning a direct ticket to the UPT20 player auction where the Kanpur Superstars secured him for 2,50,000. While the ongoing season has been a challenging one for the Kanpur Superstars, Shakti has already featured in three games, proving that raw talent can thrive when given the right platform. Shaktis journey is rooted in humble beginnings. He is the eldest son of Amar Singh Verma, a local motor mechanic. Despite severe financial constraints, his father supported his cricketing ambitions, often managing to buy expensive season cricket balls for his practice. However, the overall cost of professional cricket nearly forced Shakti out of the game. My father does a normal job as a mechanic, and I am the eldest at home, Shakti shared. Cricket is a very expensive game. I used to do a private job earning 7,000 a month. With that salary, I couldn't buy cricket shoes worth 7,000. My coach, Sarvan Nawab sir, provided all the backing I needed. Whatever cricket I have played, and whatever I achieve in the future, is all because of him. Shakti's entry into formal cricket took time. He started purely on the local tennis ball circuits. When I played tennis ball cricket, boys would tell me I bowled well. A friend took me to my coach. Initially, I wanted to bat, but my coach told me to stick to bowling, and he polished my skills. My seniors like Vipraj Nigam and Shivam bhai also guided me and helped me financially during tough times. The UPCAs decision to keep the Speed Hunt trials entirely free of cost was the crucial turning point for players like Shakti, removing the financial barrier that often keeps rural talent hidden. That free trial was a very big thing for us, Shakti explained. If someone comes from a well-off family, an entry fee of 1,500 is very little for them. But for a normal boy, even 10 is a lot. Because the trials were free, boys like us got a massive boost. If the Speed Hunt happens every year, more boys and better talents will emerge from the bottom. Being picked at the auction for 2.5 Lakh has fundamentally changed his financial reality. The money we get from this platform can be utilised to invest in ourselves, he noted with raw honesty. The amount we received is more than enough for us. For people from normal families, this prize money is huge. Frankly, I had never seen this much money in my life before. That free trial was a very big thing for us, Shakti explained. If someone comes from a well-off family, an entry fee of 1,500 is very little for them. But for a normal boy, even 10 is a lot. Because the trials were free, boys like us got a massive boost. If the Speed Hunt happens every year, more boys and better talents will emerge from the bottom. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories The Speed Hunt gave a chance to new boys who couldn't reach this level otherwise, Shakti said. Players from the grassroots who didn't get opportunities in trophy cricket got a huge platform here. I am very thankful to the UPCA, Rajeev Shukla sir, and Dr. Sanjay Kapoor sir for this initiative. If we do well here, we can even play in the IPL and get international recognition. We can go very far. Article Source: IANS

UPT20 League 2026: Top 4 Confirmed As Kashi Rudras Beat Meerut Mavericks By 56 Runs

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The defending champions, Kashi Rudras, delivered a statement performance in a must-win encounter, defeating the table-topping Meerut Mavericks by 56 runs in Match 29 of the UP T20 League 2026 on Tuesday. Played at Kanpurs historic Green Park Stadium, a venue boasting a legacy of 40 international matches, the result finalises the playoff picture for the season. The Meerut Mavericks retain the top spot with 15 points, followed by the Lucknow Falcons in second with 13 points. Kashi Rudras and Noida Kings complete the top four, finishing third and fourth respectively with 10 points each. Meanwhile, the Gaur Gorakhpur Lions and Kanpur Superstars have been officially eliminated from the tournament. Knowing a win was necessary to stay alive, Kashi Rudras skipper Karan Sharma won the toss and confidently opted to bat first. The openers validated his decision immediately, putting together a solid 75-run stand off 51 balls. Vaibhav Jaiswal contributed a brisk 33 off 24 deliveries, while skipper Karan Sharma anchored the innings with a brilliant 57 off 40 balls, setting a robust foundation. Wicketkeeper-batter Upendra Yadav then took charge, unleashing a devastating late assault. Yadav smashed an unbeaten 57 off just 29 deliveries, lacing his innings with four boundaries and five massive sixes. His explosive finish powered the Kashi Rudras to an imposing total of 175/4 in their 20 overs. Faced with a challenging target of 176, the Meerut Mavericks' chase stumbled at the very first hurdle. Star opener Swastik Chikara fell for a four-ball duck to Kartik Yadav, setting the tone for the innings. Kartik delivered a sensational spell, finishing with figures of 3/12 in his four overs, suffocating the Meerut top order and leaving them reeling at 70/5 in 13 overs. For his phenomenal bowling display that derailed the chase, Kartik Yadav was rightfully named the Player of the Match. Divyansh Rajput attempted to stabilise the innings, battling his way to a gritty 39 off 31 balls. However, his resistance ended in an unfortunate fashion when he was dismissed hit-wicket by Rishabh Rajput on the fifth ball of the 16th over. On the very next delivery, Rishabh dismissed Yash Garg, ending the over and leaving Meerut needing 70 runs from 24 balls with just three wickets in hand. The drama peaked on the first ball of the 17th over when Impact Player Sangam Singh struck immediately, completing a spectacular team hat-trick spanning across the two overs. The Meerut Mavericks were eventually bundled out for 119 in 19.2 overs. Rishabh Rajput finished with superb figures of 3/13, while Atal Bihari Vipin Rai chipped in with two wickets, securing a massive 56-run victory. The result gives the Kashi Rudras back-to-back wins and immense momentum heading into the knockouts, whereas the Meerut Mavericks will need to regroup after suffering consecutive defeats. With the league stage concluded, the tournament now enters its decisive playoff phase. Due to persistent rain and wet outfield conditions in Kanpur, all playoff matches have been officially shifted to the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

Handscomb, Ashes-winning Quicks Picked For Australia A India Tour; Labuschagne Misses Out

Wicketkeeper Sam Harper: Peter Handscomb has been handed another opportunity to revive his Test career after being named in Australia As squad for their upcoming tour of India, with Brendan Doggett and Jhye Richardson adding pace and experience to the red-ball group. Australia A will travel to Puducherry later this month for the four-day leg of the tour before playing three 50-over matches, with several players set to audition for places ahead of Australias next Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign. Handscomb, 35, is the oldest and most experienced player in the four-day squad. The right-hander has not played international cricket or featured for Australia A since appearing in all four Tests of Australias previous Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour in 2023. With Australia set to return to India in the coming months, the tour offers him a timely chance to strengthen his case for a Baggy Green recall. Doggett and Richardson are also likely to attract attention as Australia assess their fast-bowling options for subcontinental conditions. Richardson has returned to first-class cricket after several major shoulder surgeries, while Todd Murphy, Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney are among nine players returning from last years Australia A four-day matches in Lucknow. Young quick Mahli Beardman headlines the one-day squad alongside Spencer Johnson. Beardman is continuing his carefully managed recovery from back stress issues but has already impressed in white-ball cricket, including a two-wicket haul on his T20I debut against Pakistan in Lahore in March. We consider these tours an important part of performance and developing game styles in subcontinent conditions as part of our continued investment into the Australia A program, selection boss George Bailey said. Its a strong representation of players who will be in contention to be part of the group we take to India next year or see as having potential for further opportunities into the future. Wicketkeeper Sam Harper has been rewarded for a breakout domestic season, while Jason Sangha joins the group.
