Bangladesh Sports Minister Wants BPL To Take Place Every Year Amid Credibility Concerns
Bangladesh Premier League: Bangladesh state minister for youth and sports Aminul Haque was unaware of the Bangladesh Premier League's postponement due to credibility issues and wanted the league to take place every year. BCB president Tamim Iqbal had earlier confirmed that the board will not start the BPL until the credibility issues that have hit the tournament are fixed, a move which was welcomed by the franchises but not by the cricketers. The cricketers were later offered increased match fees in the domestic circuit to compensate for the financial issues. Meanwhile, Aminul has called for an annual organisation of the tournament but was not aware of the postponement announced earlier. I only got to know from you (media) just now; I wasn't aware BPL would not take place. BPL is a popular tournament for Bangladesh, Aminul told the media on Sunday in Dhaka. You're saying the board president presented some logical reasons to you all. I think a tournament like the BPL should be held every year. Why it didn't happen, we need to discuss. We will obviously monitor in future that this kind of competition takes place regularly, he added. I only got to know from you (media) just now; I wasn't aware BPL would not take place.

Cricket South Africa: Nottinghamshires push for winning the ongoing County Championship has suffered a setback after wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne was recalled early by Cricket South Africa, thus ruling him out of the final three matches of the season. Verreynne, 29, currently in his third spell with the club, had originally signed to feature in all of Nottinghamshires red-ball fixtures this summer. But central contract obligations take precedence ahead of South Africas upcoming three-game home Test series against Australia. I think I've said it so many times, the club's got a really special place. It's got a special place to me, so I'll be watching closely. Like I said, the team's in a good position at the moment, playing some really good cricket. I think it's going to be quite an exciting run-in, so I'll be keeping a close eye, Verreynne said in a video posted by the franchise on their social media accounts on Sunday. Nottinghamshire sit four points behind leaders Somerset and one point ahead of third-placed Warwickshire with three rounds remaining. The recall leaves second-placed Nottinghamshire without their frontline wicketkeeper for crucial fixtures against Hampshire, Sussex, and Yorkshire as they chase leaders Somerset. Verreynne's final appearance of the summer will come against Leicestershire at Trent Bridge. South Africa's early recall affects several players across the county circuit ahead of their series against Australia. Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell expressed frustration at the timing while acknowledging the CSAs contractual rights. Its not ideal that were losing Kyle at this point in the season, but we understand the decision made by Cricket South Africa, and he returns with our best wishes for a busy winter.

Overseas stars like Maxwell and Miller are guiding local players via ETPL, says Stirling
New Delhi, Sep 6 (IANS) Veteran Ireland opener Paul Stirling believes the presence of marquee players like Glenn Maxwell and David Miller while playing for the Belfast Wolves in the ongoing European T20 Premier League (ETPL) is accelerating the development of local talent, as they pass on crucial top-level experience to them both on and off the field. The six-team competition has brought two franchises each from Ireland, Scotland, and the Netherlands in a four-week showdown. The action kicked off in Voorburg, Netherlands, before it shifts to Dublin's Malahide Cricket Club Ground from September 9 and inaugural champions set to be crowned in the final on September 20. Belfast are in prime position to enter the knockouts, as they are at second spot on the points table. Apart from Stirling, Maxwell is in a captain-cum-co-owner role, alongside England's T20 World Cup winning member Chris Jordan and New Zealand's Devon Conway. His fellow Ireland team-mates Tim Tector, Mark Adair, Lorcan Tucker and Matthew Humphreys are also present in the setup. Look, I'm fortunate enough to have got to know these lads over the last few years anyway. But to catch up with them again, they've really been outstanding, particularly with the youngsters at the minute. But we've got the likes of Glenn Maxwell, who's the captain, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Chris Jordan and some really true class players. David Miller came in here and joined us from the third game onwards. So really high-profile players, but it's not just what they give on the field - it's also that experience that they pass on to local young guys and here to improve them. I think you'll see those differences come in quite quickly, Stirling said in an exclusive conversation with IANS on Sunday, facilitated by ETPL. Stirling, who has made 108 runs in four games so far, believes that the informal knowledge transfer taking place around the tournament will build much-needed strength in depth for Associate nations ahead of major international events. It's massive. You're going to have ideas from those experienced international guys passing on their knowledge, not just on the cricket field, but in and around the hotel, while having a coffee. It's not like you're only communicating with players on your own side as well. Once the matches are over, I think you're going to see strength and depth being added to these three host nations pretty quickly and hopefully the result of that is that in the next World Cups, you'll see more competitive cricket from the likes of ourselves, Scotland and Holland. He also noted that the league represents a milestone moment by offering local cricketers a viable full-time career path outside of playing international cricket. I mean it's a huge moment. It's been sort of bumbling away in the background about this happening and to be here now, it means a lot. It certainly means a lot for the local players in particular and the youngsters as well - to try and make a living out of cricket basically. There was only one route in the past - that was playing for your national team. Particularly, I'm speaking on behalf of the Irish set-up, and now there's another way to make a living. I think it's just going to make cricket in this country better and more competitive moving forward against the better teams. So, it's been truly exciting and hopefully it's here to stay. Reflecting on his early days in Ireland when central contracts were virtually non-existent, Stirling praised the growth of his country in going from a self-sustaining system to one capable of producing world-class talent, as seen from them beating current T20 World Cup holders India 2-0 in a T20I series at home in June. It's been huge. Certainly back when I started I was in 2008. We didn't have a contract. We were sort of semi-pro at that time. I was fortunate enough to get one of the first full contracts here in Ireland and I think there were maybe only 7 or 8 at that stage. To see where it's got to now, we always had the ability to pull off big wins back in those days against superior opposition I suppose you could say. But to see where the organisation has gone with fully contracting, maybe 20-23 plus contracts playing full-time cricket, I suppose taking the load off county cricket was our sort of the way that we needed to develop and become good cricketers by getting into that system. So to lose that and still be able to produce world-class cricketers is I suppose the aim and I think we've shown that we're capable of doing that. Praising the setup at Belfast Wolves, Stirling expressed satisfaction with how quickly the franchise setup has hit the ground running. It's been really good, to be honest. Just thankful that we've got the tournament off the ropes and we're all playing in it now. It's been a great experience so far - lots of good cricket being played and from our point of view, a couple of wins in there as well. So, we're pretty happy with how everything's transpired so far. You've got to sort of gel pretty quickly and I think we have managed to do that. The Belfast Wolves so far have been a really good set-up - probably one of the best I've been involved with in terms of just being ready to go. I think sometimes with these competitions, they're new, so there's a bit of a lag in getting everything right. We've been spot-on, we've been very fortunate as players to have been involved in this set-up. It's been pretty spotless so far and hopefully long may that continue. But it's been great - we want it to be a success. There's great overseas players here which I think make the tournament worthwhile and hopefully it's there for the long run as I said. Looking ahead, Stirling, the second Ireland mens batter to hit centuries across all international formats, felt the next generation of players have the capabilities to take Irish cricket to greater heights. I suppose it's just to keep improving. I think it's your responsibility when you take a shirt on and for an opening batter like me, it is to try and make sure that you're better than what it was before. I think if you can continue that on and I think there's a responsibility with you as that senior player and batter that the next guy is ready and has sort of all the attributes that you've already had. Plus they are better and capable and I think the talent in the Irish system at the minute shows that it's certainly possible. Really good talented players are coming through and ones that really want to learn and work hard. So there's absolutely no reason why it can't be passed on to them to make sure that this Irish cricket team is the best Irish cricket team that we've had and keep constantly doing that.
The third season of popular psychological thriller series Asur recently went into production. While Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Ridhi Dogra and Anupriya Goenka are returning in leads to reprise their roles, the new season has undergone a major creative change behind the camera. As Bollywood Hungama recently reported, Oni Sen, who directed the previous two seasons, is not returning for the new season, with the show's showrunner Gaurav Shukla taking on the directorial duties this time. Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Hungama, Oni Sen reveals that his decision to step away from Asur Season 3 was a natural closure to his journey with the franchise. Likemeaningful chapters in life, my personal directorial journey with Asur reached its natural conclusion. After pouring everything I had into two seasons, I realized I had given it all, and there was nothing new or fresh left for me to bring to that specific directorial table, the filmmaker says. Following Sens departure, Gaurav Shukla, who served as the lead writer and showrunner on the previous seasons of Asur, has taken the directorial reins to himself. He is co-directing the new season with ad filmmaker Shwetabh Varma.Sen says passing the baton wasn't an easy decision, but he has confidence in the new team. Knowingthat Gaurav and Shwetabh are taking the director's chair for the new season fills me with immense comfort and excitement. They will surely do a great job. I wish them, and the entire team, nothing but the absolute best as they carry this story forward. For Sen, Asur remains a landmark that will forever hold a special place in his heart. It was my first long-format narrativedrama. It was a leap into the unknown that turned into an extraordinary journey. The way audiences embraced the show, the overwhelming love we received, and the cult following it built over two seasons is something every filmmaker dreams of. Even today, barely a week goes by without someone stopping me to ask the exact same question with unmatched excitement: When is Asur 3 coming out? the director reveals. Looking back at the making of the first two seasons, the director credits the shows writing team, the casts commitment to the characters, and a relentless crew for helping create a world that resonated strongly with viewers. Building Asur across Seasons 1 and 2 was a thrilling, beautiful, and intensely collaborativeexperience. I was lucky to have a fantastic writing team, an exceptional cast who gave their absolute souls to these characters, and a relentless crew, Sen remembers. Together, we managed to build a world that left a lasting mark on Indian web series history. Oni Sen is currently celebrating the massive success of his latest Netflix series, Operation Safed Sagar. The large-scale war drama has received widespread love and acclaim for authentically portraying Indian Air Force personnel, their conflict, and their professional and personal challenges they faced during the 1999 Kargil war. The show stars Siddharth, Jimmy Shergill, Abhay Varma, Dia Mirza, Mihir Ahuja, Adil Hussain, and Prajakta Koli in lead roles.

Kallanai set to release Cauvery water for Delta irrigation today
Chennai, Sep 6 (IANS) Water released from the Mettur Dam has reached the historic Kallanai in Tiruchi district, paving the way for its discharge into the Cauvery delta irrigation network on Sunday morning. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the Mettur dam on September 1 to supply water to the Cauvery-irrigated regions. The initial release of 5,000 cubic feet per second was subsequently increased to 7,000 cusecs as officials monitored inflow and requirements of farmers in the delta districts. The released water crossed the Mukkombu regulator in Tiruchi district before reaching Kallanai on Saturday morning. However, because the volume arriving at the barrage remained relatively low, the structure had not filled completely by evening. Water had accumulated near the sluice gates leading to the Cauvery, Vennar and Kollidam rivers. Officials said water would be released from Kallanai on Sunday for delta irrigation. The discharge is expected to benefit agricultural areas served by the network of rivers and channels branching from the ancient barrage, a crucial distribution point in Tamil Nadu's Cauvery system. Six ministers -- Anand, Vinoth, Ramesh, Shahjahan, Mohamad Parvez and Rajkumar -- are scheduled to attend the opening ceremony. MLA Vijay Saravanan, Thanjavur District Collector Revathi, Water Resources Department Chief Engineer Jayakumari and Monitoring Engineer Dileepan will also participate, along with Members of Parliament and other legislators. The ceremony will be held in a festive atmosphere. Ministers and senior guests will be escorted from the palace area to the barrage with drums and traditional percussion instruments as part of the customary Kallanai celebrations. Special prayers have also been conducted at the Anjaneyar temple on the banks of the Kollidam and at the Vinayakar and Karuppannasamy temples ahead of the release. According to figures available on Saturday evening, the water level in the Mettur reservoir stood at 92.25 feet. The dam was receiving an inflow of 8,075 cusecs, while 7,000 cusecs were being discharged. Farmers across the delta will closely watch the flow over the coming days, as the timely movement and regulated distribution of Cauvery water are critical for standing crops and seasonal cultivation in Thanjavur and neighbouring delta districts. Water Resources Department officials are expected to adjust releases in accordance with reservoir inflows, field requirements and conditions across the canal system.

'Heartbreaking news': J'Khand CM Soren mourns passing away of Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu
Ranchi, Sep 6 (IANS) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday mourned the death of state minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu, describing him as an elder brother whose departure had left a void in his life that could not be expressed in words. In a post on X, Soren said he received the heartbreaking news of Sudivya Kumar Sonus passing late at night and described the news as extremely difficult to accept. Sonu Bhaiya was not just a senior colleague or political associate to me. He was like an elder brother -- affectionate, guiding, and steadfastly standing by my side in every difficult time, Soren wrote, adding that the moments spent with him and the lessons learned from him would always remain with him. Recalling Sonus association with the Jharkhand movement, the Chief Minister said he had stood with full devotion and strength alongside the late Baba Dishom Guruji. He further stated that as a dedicated soldier of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Sonu devoted his life to the struggle for Jharkhands identity, rights and pride. His dedication to Jharkhandiyat and his indomitable spirit will always be remembered, Soren wrote. He added, Sonu Bhaiya, your passing is a personal loss for me. Your absence will always be felt. I will carry your affection, your struggles, and your commitment to Jharkhand with me for life. JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey described the ministers death as deeply sorrowful and deeply painful, saying his untimely departure had created a void in Jharkhand politics that would be difficult to fill. He termed it an immense loss for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and prayed for peace for his soul. Leader of Opposition in the Jharkhand Assembly Babulal Marandi also expressed shock over the sudden death. Marandi said he initially found the news difficult to believe after learning about it through media reports, before confirming it through his contacts in Giridih. Even though Sudivya Sonu belonged to a different political party, he was from our town, and we had known each other since the beginning, Marandi said, describing him as quite popular and calling his sudden death a shock to his family, society and everyone who knew him. Congress leader Rajesh Thakur described the death as very tragic and said Sudivya Kumar was a close associate. He recalled speaking with him just two or three days ago when the minister was in Bengaluru on an exposure visit related to tourism. Meanwhile, Dr Shahzad Sheikh said the minister was brought to the hospital at around 2:15 am after experiencing chest pain for about two hours. The doctor said he had aspirated after vomiting, requiring immediate intubation to secure his airway. An ECG showed signs of a heart attack, while his blood pressure was unrecordable, the doctor said. Inotropes and vasopressors were started, but around 10 to 15 minutes later, the patient collapsed, and CPR was initiated. Sudivya Kumar Sonu, who held several key portfolios in the Jharkhand government, passed away despite medical efforts. His death has triggered widespread mourning across Giridih and Jharkhand, with political leaders, party workers, officials and members of the public expressing grief over his sudden demise.

M Y Tarigami urges teachers to foster scientific temper, pluralistic values
Srinagar, Sep 5:M.Y. Tarigami, President, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), J&K, felicitated the teaching fraternity on the occasion of Teachers Day, paying tribute to the teachers for their invaluable contribution in shaping the minds and future of generations. Teachers Day is not merely an occasion to honour individual teachers but also an opportunity to reflect upon the enormous responsibility entrusted to the teaching community in building a just, democratic, scientific and inclusive society. Teachers are the real nation-builders, as they influence not only the academic development of children but also their outlook towards society, fellow citizens and the world at large. Emphasising the need to strengthen the scientific and rational outlook among younger generations, Tarigami, as per a statement issued on Saturday, said that education must enable students to question, enquire, reason and distinguish between evidence and superstition. Teachers have a vital role in cultivating scientific temper, critical thinking, curiosity and a spirit of inquiry among students. A modern education system must prepare young minds to meet contemporary challenges through knowledge, reason and innovation rather than prejudice and unscientific beliefs. Jammu and Kashmir had taken an important lead under the Naya Kashmir programme in the post-Independence period by providing universal free education, irrespective of sex, up to the postgraduate level, reflecting the recognition that education is a fundamental instrument of social progress. The objective now must be to ensure free, compulsory, inclusive and quality education for every child, irrespective of caste, colour, creed, religion, region, gender or economic status. Every child must have equal access to quality education, irrespective of whether they come from a rich or poor family or live in an urban centre or a remote rural area. He expressed concern over the shortage of qualified teaching staff, particularly in rural and far-flung areas, and called for immediate filling up of vacant posts from the primary level to colleges and universities. He also called for the regularisation of the services of temporary, ad hoc, contractual, part-time and other categories of teachers with full pay scales and all permissible service benefits. The contribution of teachers cannot be valued merely in terms of the temporary nature of their appointments, he said, adding that insecurity and uncertainty among teachers also adversely affect the quality of education. He further emphasised that Indias strength lies in its pluralistic and diverse character. Teachers, therefore, have a profound responsibility to inculcate respect for diversity, tolerance, fraternity and democratic values among students. Respect for different faiths, languages, cultures, regions and traditions should be an integral part of education. Young minds must be taught that diversity is not a weakness but one of the greatest strengths of the country. Teachers, whether addressed as Gurus, Ustaads or by any other name, command a position of immense respect in society. Their responsibility goes far beyond imparting lessons from textbooks. They help shape the character, conscience and worldview of future generations. They must therefore guide students towards scientific thinking, constitutional values, social justice, equality, fraternity and respect for the dignity of every human being. Tarigami said that a strong, peaceful and democratic India can be built only by nurturing generations that are scientifically minded, socially sensitive, democratic in outlook and respectful of pluralism. He called upon the authorities to strengthen public education, adequately fund educational institutions, fill all vacant teaching posts and ensure dignity, security and fair service conditions for the teaching community. He conveyed his warm greetings to all teachers and expressed the hope that the teaching fraternity would continue to inspire generations towards knowledge, reason, equality, compassion and a commitment to building a just and peaceful society.

UP T20: Bhuvneshwar's Lucknow Falcons Set To Take On Rinku-led Meerut Mavericks In Final
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Lucknow Falcons are set to take on Meerut Mavericks in the grand finale of the UP T20 League, to be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. The title clash pits prominent Indian internationals against each other, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar leads the Lucknow Falcons against Rinku Singhs Meerut Mavericks. The Meerut Mavericks have achieved the remarkable feat of qualifying for the final in all four seasons and are seeking their second title, while the Lucknow Falcons have entered their maiden final, and are aiming to lift the trophy for the first time in front of their home crowd. The Lucknow Falcons enter the final on a seven-match unbeaten streak, marking an impressive turnaround after a difficult start to the tournament where they lost three of their opening four matches. The Falcons rebounded by winning five of their subsequent six league games (with one game washed out) to finish second in the standings with 13 points. They booked their place directly in the final with a convincing win over Meerut in Qualifier 1, anchored by a decisive spell of 4-10 from captain Bhuvneshwar. The Falcons campaign has been bolstered by consistent batting performances from Ajeet Verma and Mohammad Saif, who have compiled 263 and 233 runs, respectively. Leg-spin bowling all-rounder Vipraj Nigam has delivered in crucial moments down the order, maintaining a strike rate close to 160 alongside taking 11 wickets. The bowling unit remains their primary strength, led economically by Bhuvneshwar (13 wickets at an economy rate under 6) and fellow pacer Abhinandan Singh, who sits second in the Purple Cap standings with 21 wickets. Meanwhile, the Mavericks established their authority early in the season by registering seven consecutive victories, eventually securing top spot on the points table with 15 points. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final. Meeruts batting lineup features the tournament's most explosive performers. Opener Swastik Chikara has accumulated 308 runs at a strike rate of 166.49, while captain Rinku has provided reliable finishing power with 240 runs at a tournament-high strike rate of 171. Despite enduring a late-season dip, comprising a washout, two consecutive league defeats, and a loss in Qualifier 1, the Mavericks demonstrated their pedigree by defeating the Noida Kings by six wickets in Qualifier 2 to maintain their unblemished record of reaching every UP T20 League final.
