England Drop Womens Test Against West Indies, Line Up Four Red-ball Games For Ashes Build-up
Metro Bank Ashes Test: England Womens tour of the West Indies next April will go ahead without a Test match, said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), which added that the fixture has been done away with, making room for four red-ball games at home before the Womens Ashes against Australia takes place at Headingley in 2027. The trip to the Caribbean, which takes place after the English domestic season begins, will now consist of three T20Is and three ODIs. According to the ECB, the calendar no longer had room for the Test that had originally been planned. As per the ECB, Cricket West Indies (CWI) has agreed to the request, and the ECB praised the board for its cooperation during the talks. England last played a Test match against India at Lords, which they lost by 270 runs. We appreciate the constructive conversations with Cricket West Indies that have enabled us to look forward to an exciting tour of the Caribbean before focusing our attention back on our home summer, ECB chief executive Richard Gould said in a statement on Wednesday. The ECB said the CWI will confirm the dates and venues later, with the tour to take place after the first round of the One-Day Cup, in which all England players will feature. The space created will go into the Ashes build-up. England will play three intra-squad best versus best red-ball matches in home conditions, followed by a three-day fixture against Australia A shortly before the Test begins at Headingley on June 24. Before that, the red-ball squad will spend 10 days at a red-ball camp in Bengaluru in January, ahead of the inaugural ICC Womens Champions Trophy, to be played in Vadodara and Mumbai from February 14-28. Gould explained why the board was putting so much into a single Test. We are all hugely excited by the prospect of England Women taking on Australia Women in their Metro Bank Ashes Test at Headingley next summer. It will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the summer and is worth four points in the multi-format series, so it is important that our players have the right preparation leading into the match and are given the best chance to succeed. A 10-day warm-weather red-ball camp in India followed by four further matches in English conditions will provide Charlotte Edwards and her team with the appropriate game time to be ready for that challenge, he said. The decision also addresses a wider problem. Englands domestic system offers players very few chances to play multi-day cricket. At least two of the intra-squad games will let the selectors watch a larger group of players in the longer format before the Ashes squad is named. Best versus best in English conditions provides a valuable opportunity for the team. It also allows us to assess our strength in depth, give opportunities to more players and get a number of competitive multi-day cricket matches across a longer period into the wider group, added Gould.

One of the most dildaar producers of Bollywood, Boney Kapoor, celebrates his 73rd birthday today, November 11. Bollywood Hungama has learned that a grand yet intimate birthday bash was held at his swanky residence in Mumbais Pali Hill last night and was attended by prominent Bollywood celebrities. A source told Bollywood Hungama, The party of Boney Kapoor was graced by Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Namit Kapoor, Dr Jayantilal Gada, Tutu Sharma, Padmini Kolhapure, Rajkumar Santoshi, Rumy Jafry, Aman Gill, Pawan Gill, Naresh Goyal, Niraj Sanghai (second in command after Namit Malhotra at Prime Focus and co-producer of Ramayana), etc. The source further said, Boney Kapoors children Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor, as well as Anshulas husband, Rohan Thakkar, were also present in full force. Boney is a great host, as is widely known, and hence, all the attendees had a gala time. Boney, too, was happy to be in the company of his family and loved ones. The source continued, Anil Kapoor was away and hence couldnt make it. Surprisingly, Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria were also absent, possibly because they were out of town or tied up with other commitments. It has been an eventful year for Boney Kapoor. His daughter, Anshula, got married to Rohan Thakkar on July 6. In a heartfelt interview to Bombay Times the same month, Boney said, Anshula is a piece of my heart and seeing her so happy makes me feel fulfilled. Looking back at the celebrations, I think what has stayed with me the most are the smiling faces, the love that surrounded us, and the happiness everyone shared with us. Your daughter teaches you to be the best version of yourself. Seeing her begin this new chapter with Rohan was an emotional moment for all of us. As a father, you prepare yourself for this day, but when it finally arrives, you realize how special and overwhelming it truly is. As a family, we feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed this beautiful beginning with the love and blessings of everyone around us. Watching Anshula begin this new chapter of her life was one of the most emotional moments I have experienced as a father. On the film front, Boney Kapoor is currently busy putting the finishing touches on Mom 2. Featuring Khushi Kapoor in the lead role, the film is expected to release in the first quarter of 2027.

Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium: Anushka Sharma will captain India A in the T20 and one-day legs of the upcoming all-format home series against England A, while Minnu Mani has been handed the leadership of the multi-day side, said the BCCI on Wednesday.

The series features three T20s, three one-day matches and a multi-day game. Punes Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium will host the T20s from November 30 to December 5, with the action then moving to Mumbais Wankhede Stadium for the one-dayers and the multi-day contest from December 8 to 19. Off-spinner Shreyanka Patil and pacer Saima Thakor feature in all three squads, while all-rounders Kashvee Gautam (ODI and T20I series) and Amanjot Kaur (only T20s), along with young wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini, have also been included.

The multi-day side has also undergone a considerable overhaul, with Amisha, Shipra, batters Shubha Satheesh and Purvaja Verlekar, and pacers Henreitta Perera and Happy Kumari as the new faces. The series gives both teams a quick chance at a rematch. When India A toured England in June-July this year, the honours were evenly split between the two white-ball formats. India A won the three-match unofficial one-day series 2-1, while England A took the T20 series by the same margin.

Shilpa Shirodkar on 'Adi Shankaracharya': 'The project has been life-changing for me'
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 11 (IANS) Actress Shilpa Shirodkar, who will be seen playing Arambha in the upcoming web show 'Adi Shankaracharya', has opened up about how the project brought a personal and spiritual transformation in her life. In an exclusive quote shared with IANS, he said the experience made her calmer and changed the way she looks at different situations in life. Speaking about the changes the project brought in her, she shared, I think personally I have become very calm as a human being, and obviously, I knew when I signed this show that there would be a lot of changes within me because I have a spiritual guide, Sindamma, and Sindamma told me that if I do this project, it would be life-changing for me. And actually, I think about all the situations that happen in my life in a very different way now. I look at those situations very differently. Asked about her reaction when she was offered the show, she said, Well, my reaction was like, 'I want to do it.' That was my reaction, and fortunately, God heard my prayers. I am doing Adi Shankaracharya and playing Arambha in the series, who is Adi Shankaracharya's mother. I feel so honored and so blessed to be part of this beautiful, beautiful project. Looking back at her long career, the Gopi Kishan actor stated, Well, I just feel that my only learning is that I am ready to learn everyday, that's my learning. I was ready to learn 30 years ago when I was working. I am ready to learn even today because things are changing, people are changing, people's minds are changing, the way cinema is made is changing. And in that change, if you don't become part of the change, then you just have to sit at home. As for the kind of roles she wants to do now, she explained, Well, I'm looking at good, good, good characters, good films, and I'm sure there's scope for everyone today. So something or the other will definitely come up 100%. In Adi Shankaracharya, produced by Dr. B.K. Modi, Shilpa plays Arambha, the mother of Adi Shankaracharya.

Sensex climbs 773 points, Nifty tops 25,250 as lower oil prices boost sentiment
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 11 (IANS) Indian equity benchmarks closed in positive territory on Wednesday as lower energy prices and improved foreign investor sentiment lifted markets, while buying in banking, auto and PSU bank stocks supported the rally. The Sensex advanced 772.75 points, or 0.95 per cent, to close at 81,879.40, while the Nifty gained 210.40 points, or 0.84 per cent, to settle at 25,255.05. The indices, however, pared some of their intra-day gains before the close. Commenting on Nifty technical outlook, experts said that the index continued its bullish momentum, extending its recent gains and closing higher. The 25,40025,500 zone now forms the immediate resistance range, and a sustained breakout above this band could further strengthen the upward momentum, analysts stated. On the downside, 25,20025,100 is expected to act as the immediate support zone, followed by the crucial support near 24,800, market experts noted. Among the Nifty constituents, Mahindra & Mahindra, InterGlobe Aviation and Trent emerged as the top gainers. The broader market also remained firm, outperforming the benchmark indices in some pockets. The Nifty SmallCap 100 index rose 1.59 per cent, while the Nifty MidCap 100 gained 0.81 per cent. Sectorally, Nifty PSU Bank led the gains with a rise of nearly 3 per cent, supported by strong buying in state-owned lenders. The Nifty Bank, Nifty Private Bank, and Nifty Auto indices also outperformed the broader market, contributing significantly to the benchmarks' advance. In contrast, technology and healthcare stocks lagged. The Nifty IT and Nifty Healthcare indices underperformed amid selective profit-booking and a shift of investor interest toward domestic cyclical sectors. Experts attributed the positive momentum to easing energy prices and improving risk appetite following a moderation in foreign fund outflows. Whether this renewed risk appetite holds will depend on upcoming India's October inflation and US PPI data, which together should shape the outlook for domestic prices and global interest rates, according to the market watchers. Going forward, sustained FII inflows, earnings momentum and stable crude prices will be crucial; investors should favour fundamentally strong stocks and avoid chasing sharp rallies, market experts stated. Meanwhile, the rupee also strengthened against the dollar, supported by foreign inflows, although elevated US interest-rate expectations remain a risk.
'Need to find a replacement': Irfan flags PBKS' weak link after Hardik-Arshdeep trade
In a significant trade, Punjab Kings have acquired Hardik Pandya from Mumbai Indians, undeniably enhancing their batting lineup for IPL 2027. However, the loss of Arshdeep Singh to Mumbai raises questions about Punjab's bowling strength. Hardik's presence will bring power and experience to their batting, while Arshdeep joins a strong bowling unit led by Jasprit Bumrah, creating an exciting rivalry between the franchises.
From his debut IPL deal of Rs 10 lakh in 2015 to becoming a Rs 18 crore player, Pandya's salary journey reflects his rise as a key all-rounder and successful captain. He has represented Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, winning IPL titles with both franchises.
Imtiaz Ali: O Saathi Re is a modern romance with a vintage heart
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 11 (IANS) Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who is gearing up for the release of his OTT series O Saathi Re, has called it a modern romance with a beating vintage heart. He also shared a key insight about the show saying that it follows the story of the growth of affection in a divorcing couple. The show stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal, and is created, written and showrun by Imtiaz Ali, and directed by Arif Ali. Talking about the series, Imtiaz Ali shared, O Saathi Re is a modern romantic show with a vintage heart. Sometimes, love surprises you by showing itself in the most unexpected corners. This is the story of the growth of affection in a divorcing couple. Affection has a throbbing heart, love is beautiful, but a relationship can be unequal. To be a matched couple can often be a burden. In O Saathi Re, we see that while love is yearning, dreaming, and getting together, it can also be the process of letting go. The characters are multi-layered and lifelike, which is why we went for the highest grade of actors. The series is an exploration of complex emotions and a relationship in which love was never equal. He further mentioned, The cast, headlined by Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary, and Arjun Rampal, negotiates steep curves and sensitive moments in the captainship of Arif Ali, the director. Weve had a wonderful run of partnership with Netflix with the experiences of She and Amar Singh Chamkila. We couldnt have conceived this series without them. We present O Saathi Re with love and hope people like it. Produced by Imtiaz Ali, Mohit Choudhary and Shibasish Sarkar, O Saathi Re follows layered characters as they navigate the imbalances that can exist within love. Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, saidm Romance is such a loved genre and yet so under served in the series format. After Musafir Cafe, we are extremely excited to bring our next offering in the romance genre - Imtiaz Ali's O Saathi Re. The complexity of this romance is what sets it apart as it takes something as familiar as love and sees it through the lens of a dynamic that always exists in a love story, raising a never asked question, is all love truly ever equal?. Imtiaz has always had a wonderful understanding of people and the emotions that drive them and this love story through his lens of finding the deeper meaning in the everyday is something we can't wait for the audience to discover. After our wonderful partnership with him for Amar Singh Chamkila, there is something very special about seeing him bring his distinct storytelling sensibility to his next long-form series. With an incredible cast comprising Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal, Imtiaz has created a world where every character brings a unique perspective to the story, she added.

Highlights Manoj Bajpayee says the nature of criminal threats against Bollywood has changed significantly over the years. The actor believes Tiger Shroff was not the intended target of the firing outside his Mumbai residence. He expresses concern over celebrity security and hopes the situation becomes safer for the film industry. Actor Manoj Bajpayee has spoken about the changing nature of criminal threats against Bollywood following the firing incident outside Tiger Shroff 's Mumbai residence. The actor believes the current situation is very different from the underworld intimidation that troubled the film industry several years ago. He also pointed out that people caught up in such attacks may not necessarily be the original targets. Manoj Bajpayee explains how criminal threats have changed In an interview with Hindustan Times, Bajpayee was asked whether the firing outside Tiger 's residence indicated a return of the underworld threats faced by Bollywood personalities in the past. He said the current situation should not be compared directly with earlier incidents, explaining that criminal activities and the methods used to carry out attacks had evolved. It will never go back to the same old time. That time, the industry was the target, right now, its not this time. The pace and definition of the crime has changed completely. Now, somebody is sitting somewhere else and sending their shooters to attack a target, and that target may even not be the real target, he said. Tiger Shroff was reportedly not the intended target Bajpayee also reflected on the firing incident outside Tiger's Mumbai home, suggesting that the actor had become involved in an attack that was allegedly intended for someone else. According to reports about the investigation, the accused had allegedly been planning to target Salman Khan. They were also reported to have visited the residences of several other Bollywood personalities while gathering information, including Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. Bajpayee said the incident highlighted how unpredictable such attacks could be, with people who were not originally targeted potentially finding themselves in danger. From Tigers incident, what has come to the fore is that he was not the target, but suddenly became one. The whole conversation was about these other stars who were the real target and now they have to surround themselves with utmost safety, he said. Actor expresses concern over celebrity security The actor acknowledged that the developments were a matter of concern for the film industry. However, he expressed confidence that the state government was monitoring the situation and taking precautions. He hoped the security concerns would ease and that people, including those working in the entertainment industry, could go about their daily lives without fear. Yes, it is a matter of concern but one thing I know is that the state government is looking into it with a lot of concern. They are monitoring the situation and taking all the precautions. I just hope that things get better, comfortable and safer for all of us, he added. Manoj Bajpayee's latest film On the professional front, Bajpayee was last seen in Last Man In Tower , directed by Ben Rekhi. The film is based on Aravind Adiga's novel of the same name. Sooni Taraporevala wrote the screenplay, while Juhi Chaturvedi penned the dialogues.

Hardik Pandya's Exit Leaves Mumbai Indians With Big Captaincy Question. Franchise Responds

Hardik's Arrival An 'important Step' Towards IPL Title: PBKS CEO Menon
PBKS CEO Menon: Punjab Kings (PBKS) CEO Satish Menon on Wednesday described the signing of premier seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya as an important step in the franchises bid to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title. On Wednesday, the BCCI formally announced that Pandya joined the franchise from Mumbai Indians (MI) in a trade deal that sent left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh to the five-time champions ahead of the 2027 IPL season. The trade had been in the making for nearly a week. PBKS is yet to win an IPL title with their best-ever result being securing a runners-up finish in 2014 and 2025 seasons. We are delighted to welcome Hardik to the Punjab Kings family. He is a proven match-winner who brings tremendous experience, confidence and a winning mentality. His ability to change the course of a game with both bat and ball makes him a valuable addition to our squad. As we enter the 20th season of the IPL, our focus remains on building a team capable of competing at the highest level and bringing the trophy home to Punjab. Hardiks arrival is an important step in that direction, Menon said in a statement on Wednesday. The numbers support the faith of PBKS in him. Since making his IPL debut in 2015, Pandya has played 162 matches, scoring 2,955 runs and picked up 82 wickets. Pandya first arrived at MI as a raw youngster in 2015 and developed into one of the leading all-rounders in the cricketing world in the shortest format. Pandya played a major role in four of MIs title-winning campaigns in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020, before leaving for Gujarat Titans (GT), whom he led to IPL 2022 win. In 2024, Pandya moved back to MI from GT via a trade deal and took over as their captain, which didnt give the desired results in terms of winning championships. Pandyas move to PBKS comes with a pay rise, as his fee goes up to INR 18 crore from the INR 16.35 crore he earned at MI. Arshdeep moves across on his current fee of INR 18 crore. Bringing in Hardik came at a price, though, as PBKS had to give up on Arshdeep, who made his IPL debut for the franchise in 2019. Since then, he claimed 111 wickets in 96 matches for the franchise. In that time he became one of the teams main weapons with the ball and is now the leading wicket-taker for India in mens T20Is. Arshdeep has been an integral part of Punjab Kings for many years, and this is also an emotional moment for us. We have seen him grow into one of the finest fast bowlers in the country, and we are incredibly proud of his journey. Since then, he claimed 111 wickets in 96 matches for the franchise. In that time he became one of the teams main weapons with the ball and is now the leading wicket-taker for India in mens T20Is. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

MI To Take considered Approach On Captaincy After Trading Hardik For Arshdeep
Indian Premier League: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) said they will take their time to pick a new captain for the 2027 Indian Premier League (IPL) season after trading their last two seasons' captain, Hardik Pandya, to Punjab Kings on Wednesday and bringing in left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in return. The swap leaves the five-time champions without a leader for the first time since Hardik took charge in 2024. Though the chatter in cricketing circles has been about Rohit Sharma possibly returning to the leadership role, with Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah as other contenders, MI have made it clear that they will not rush into a decision. As Mumbai Indians look ahead to the upcoming season, the franchise will take a considered approach to evaluating its captaincy options. An announcement regarding the teams captaincy will be made at the appropriate time, said the side in its statement. That wording puts the leadership question at the centre of MIs plans for the upcoming retention deadline on November 17 and subsequent auction planning ahead of the mini-auction happening in Goa on December 16. The MI dressing room is set to look quite different from the one Hardik led. Hardiks exit marks the end of a long and eventful association with MI. He first arrived at MI as a raw youngster in 2015 and developed into one of the leading all-rounders in the cricketing world in the shortest format. He played a major role in four of MIs title-winning campaigns before leaving, and returned from Gujarat Titans (GT), whom he led to the IPL 2022 win, in 2024 to take over as captain. MI owner Akash Ambani paid tribute to a departing Pandya. Hardik has shared some very special moments with Mumbai Indians. We have seen him grow as a cricketer, make his mark on the world stage and then return to lead the team. His contribution, his energy and the competitive spirit he brings to the field have been valuable to Mumbai Indians. I have great respect for him, both as a cricketer and as a person, and wish him nothing but the very best for everything that lies ahead, he said. Pandyas move to PBKS comes with a pay rise, as his fee goes up to INR 18 crore from the INR 16.35 crore he earned at MI. Arshdeep moves across on his current fee of INR 18 crore. In 162 IPL matches, Pandya has amassed 2,955 runs at a strike rate of 146.28 and picked up 82 wickets. For Arshdeep, the switch ends his eight-season stint at PBKS, the franchise where he made his IPL debut in 2019. The left-arm pacer leaves as their highest wicket-taker of all time with 111 scalps in 96 games. He claimed 21 wickets in the 2025 edition and added 14 more in 2026. Arshdeep also holds the record for the most wickets by an Indian bowler in mens T20Is. Arshdeeps arrival gives MI one of Indias leading fast bowlers in T20Is, who can pair up well with ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to share the new ball. Arshdeep is also a reliable death-overs bowler and is expected to make the MI fast-bowling attack sharper and more versatile. For Arshdeep, the switch ends his eight-season stint at PBKS, the franchise where he made his IPL debut in 2019. The left-arm pacer leaves as their highest wicket-taker of all time with 111 scalps in 96 games. He claimed 21 wickets in the 2025 edition and added 14 more in 2026.
