Judi Dench reveals Daniel Craig was behind M's death in James Bond's 'Skyfall'
Highlights Judi Dench has revealed that Daniel Craig reportedly suggested killing off her character, M, in Skyfall . The actress shared the detail in her new memoir, Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It? Craig had also pushed for James Bond to die at the end of No Time to Die . Dame Judi Dench has revealed that Daniel Craig was behind the decision to kill off her character, M, in the James Bond film Skyfall. The actress, who played the head of MI6 across eight Bond films, shared the revelation in her new memoir, Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It? Dench recalled being invited to London's Wolseley restaurant by producer Barbara Broccoli, her brother Michael G Wilson and director Sam Mendes, where they explained that her character would be killed off in the 2012 film. I was taken to the Wolseley restaurant by Barbara [Broccoli], Michael [G Wilson] and Sam [Mendes] I don't think Daniel Craig was there and they outlined the plot and told me they were going to bump me off, she wrote. She also addressed reports that she had cried after learning she would be leaving the franchise. Of course I didn't cry. Why on earth would I cry after 20 glorious years and eight Bond films which, by the way, is one more than Roger Moore, the longest-running 007 to date, she added. However, Dench revealed that Craig had apparently suggested her character's death, writing: Apparently, it was Daniel's idea to have me killed. Daniel Craig also wanted James Bond to die Craig's reported involvement in M's death follows his earlier decision to push for a dramatic ending for his own version of 007. The actor had previously revealed that he asked Broccoli whether Bond could be killed at the end of his fourth film. He reportedly raised the idea after the Berlin premiere of Casino Royale in 2006. His final Bond appearance, No Time to Die (2021), ended with the character being killed in a missile strike, marking a significant departure from the franchise's traditional approach to the secret agent. Judi Dench's 20-year James Bond journey Dench made her debut as M in GoldenEye (1995), starring opposite Pierce Brosnan. She continued in the role when Craig took over as 007 in Casino Royale (2006). Her final appearance came in Skyfall , in which M dies after being caught in an attack orchestrated by former MI6 agent Raoul Silva, played by Javier Bardem. The film marked a major turning point for the character and the franchise, with Ralph Fiennes subsequently taking over as Gareth Mallory, who becomes the new M. Dench's eight-film run as the head of MI6 remains one of the most memorable supporting performances in the James Bond series.

CPI(M) condemns govts move to make biometrics, voter ID compulsory for welfare
New Delhi, Nov 4: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) unequivocally condemned the Union governments announcement, made by Minister of Panchayat Raj, Rajiv Ranjan Singh, to replace Aadhaar with biometrics and voter ID (EPIC) as the basis for welfare payments. The party termed the move further assault on the rural poor. It has been repeatedly exposed how biometric authentication denies access to agricultural workers in rural employment schemes. Many elderly women workers have been denied benefits because the machines failed to capture their iris (eyes). Manual labourers are also being excluded because their worn-out thumbprints cannot be matched by the biometric system. E-KYC requires smartphones that most rural households do not own, party in a statement said. It said the government assured the Supreme Court earlier that Aadhaar would not be compulsory, only to surreptitiously impose it across welfare schemes. Now, having touted Aadhaar as foolproof, the government itself is discarding it. This must be seen alongside the exclusionary Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, which is a surgical strike on voting rights and a systematic exercise in mass disenfranchisement. It is estimated that more than 13.4 crore voters have been excluded, with marginalised communities, Muslims, women, and the economically vulnerable disproportionately impacted. Now, demanding Voter ID for welfare will make these schemes even more exclusive. Already, certain state governments are denying ration and other benefits on the pretext that names have been deleted through SIR, a clear violation of the Supreme Court's ruling that electoral roll exclusion cannot affect social welfare entitlements. All these designs point to a concerted effort to deny benefits to a vast majority of the people. The CPI(M) demanded the immediate withdrawal of this exclusionary decision and insists that welfare entitlements be delivered universally, without conditioning them on technology or documents that the rural poor cannot access.

Ali Fazals Guddu Bhaiya finds a new expression as Mirzapur collectibles surface online
The popularity of Mirzapur and its characters continues to extend beyond the screen, with Mirzapur: The Movie emerging as one of the biggest blockbuster successes of the year following its digital release. Among the characters who have struck a chord with audiences is Guddu Pandit, popularly known as Guddu Bhaiya, portrayed by Ali Fazal. Now, in another indication of the character's popularity, Guddu Bhaiya appears to have found a place in the world of collectibles. Recently, videos surfaced on social media showing Guddu Bhaiya-themed bobbleheads being sold at shops and roadside stalls across different parts of the country. The miniature figurines have caught the attention of fans, offering a new way for audiences to celebrate a character they have come to recognise and associate with the franchise. The development also reflects how Guddu Bhaiya's popularity has moved beyond his on-screen appearances to become a part of everyday pop culture. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JUST ADULTING | SHIRAZ BAGHLA (@just.adulting) The appearance of these bobbleheads in local shops and stalls highlights the character's continued connect with audiences. Over the years, Guddu's distinctive personality, memorable dialogues and screen presence have made him one of the most recognisable characters in the Mirzapur universe. With the film's success bringing renewed attention to the franchise, the emergence of these collectibles offers another example of how audience interest is finding expression outside the entertainment space.

Niyati Koustubh Lokur: When all-rounder Prema Rawat walked out to bat for Uttarakhand against Hyderabad in the Senior Womens T20 Trophy game in Pune on Monday, there was not much time left. She came in to bat at number four in the 18th over, and Uttarakhands total was 129/2. At that time, the main objective for Prema and Raghvi Bist was to take Uttarakhand past 150 at least. But what followed next was pure carnage in fourteen balls, Prema notched up a sensational half-century. She ended unbeaten after hitting six fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 357, as Uttarakhand posted 187/2. That 14-ball fifty from Prema sits on top of the list for fastest fifty in womens T20 cricket, one ball quicker than the previous best of the 15-ball mark shared by Marie Kelly (Warwickshire, 2022), Fatima Sana (Pakistan, 2026) and Laura Harris, who did it twice, for Otago in 2025 and Surrey in 2026. With reverse hits, as well as loft and whip making appearances, Prema, who chose cricket over hockey in her formative years, hit Sakshi Rao for three boundaries in a row, and then took 18 off an over of Vanka Pooja and finished with 6, 4, 4, 6 against Kunchala Niteesha on the last four balls of the innings. Prema was still not done - she removed G. Kavyasree and N. Kranthi Reddy with her leg-spin to finish with 2-12, as Uttarakhand restricted Hyderabad to 98/8 and won by 89 runs. Prema and the Uttarakhand camp were unaware about her making the world record till match referee Niyati Koustubh Lokur said about it after the game ended. At the presentation ceremony, the referee came and gave the Player of the Match award and told me that it was a world record to get a fifty in 14 balls. Thats how all team members and coaches came to know that it was a world record. I felt normal on hearing that. But yes, I felt good that it was a world record, Prema told IANS in an exclusive conversation from Pune. Prema celebrated this landmark feat by making a trip to the cinema hall and watching Rajinikanths latest Tamil flick Jailer 2. As someone who likes watching south Indian movies, she felt the movie made for a very good watch. Asked whether it was a treat to herself after getting the world record, Prema replied in the affirmative. Straightforward and very grounded, Prema said there was no grand design in her mind when she walked in to bat. The plan was simple - I wanted to play according to the situation. I knew that when I went, there were a few overs left. So, I wanted to score as many runs as possible for the team. I wasnt thinking about a big score or a record. I was just focussing on every ball and trying to give my best to the team. The boundaries she hit were not at all random. It was completely pre-planned. I was just analysing which bowler I should take on or against which bowler I should play in a certain way and against which bowler, where I can score boundaries in better areas. When I felt confident, I decided to play my natural game and take the chances, said Prema. She was equally quick to share the credit with Raghvi, who has played two T20Is for India and made an unbeaten 72 off 50 balls. It was simple. We were motivating each other. We believed in each other. The higher the teams score, it will be easier to defend those runs, especially for the bowlers. I felt that it was a complete batting pitch because the ball was coming on the bat very well. I would like to thank Raghvi for my knock, as because of her innings, I was able to score such a big score and make a world record. So, really, really thankful to Raghvi as well. The switch from batting to bowling, Prema said, was very simple. I kept things simple. Just staying in the present. I batted once and forgot about it as I knew I had to bowl because the team needed my bowling. So, just focusing on my bowling and hitting the good length and line was my focus and to do my best for the team. Yes, that happened and I felt really good. Asked whether she had sensed a big day coming for her, Prema denied having any intuition. No, I had only one simple plan. I dont want to think much before going into a game. I have experienced throughout the cricket journey that when I think a lot about doing well, the opposite has happened with me. So, I dont want to think much. I want to keep things simple and just want to stay in the present. If a chance comes, I want to bat as per the merit of the ball. If bowling comes, I want to execute my plans and do nothing else. 2026 has been a big year for Prema, who made her India T20I debut in June during the T20 World Cup game against South Africa in Manchester and has seven wickets in as many games so far. Not only for me, but for all the girls, all the players have a dream and I got that chance. So, first of all, truly grateful for that opportunity. At that level, cricket is something different. Competition is very strong. So, I have enjoyed every moment there. From getting hit for a six to taking wickets for the team, she said. Her World Cup call came when she was busy preparing for India As matches against England A and didnt follow any news about the tournament. It was only when the India A team manager phoned to tell her she had been named as the replacement for the injured Shreyanka Patil, that Prema made the one-two hours journey to join the Indian team in Manchester. They say that you get sensation- it was going on just like that. But it was good. I had the same plan there dont think much. Whenever you get a chance, give your best. It didnt go as planned, but its okay its a part of the game. Think about it and just leave it there. In the present, what can I do to make the future games better? I focused on that, she said. The standout moment for Prema in India colours came against Pakistan in the Asia Cup group stage, where she took 3-9 in Dubai. That experience was very special for me because everyone wants to play international cricket. That too, if you perform so well against Pakistan, as playing against Pakistan is always a big occasion. So, there is and was pressure. But I believe that it was a good pressure and positive pressure for me as that was energising me every time during every ball, every over, during fielding or bowling. I had a simple plan to hit good length and line and just trust your stock ball. So, I did that and because of that, I got three wickets. I felt good that I was able to contribute to the teams victory, she said. Her camaraderie with left-arm spinner N Sree Charani also made for a delightful watch. Cherry, obviously, is the number one T20 bowler in the world. I have a good bond with her and whatever happens, the ups and downs, we share it with each other. Whether on field, or off field, whether its bowling, or doing some comedy things, pulling each others leg, and making fun of each other - I have a good bond with her. Prema traces her current good form to being a regular in the India A team, including winning the Rising Stars Womens Asia Cup earlier this year in Thailand. The India A coaches mapped Premas strong and weak zones across batting, bowling and fielding. The chase of 363 in the 50-over series decider against Australia A in Mohali, she said, was crazy. India A was a very big turning point for me. From there, I got the confidence that I can play at a higher level as well. I can change my mindset and analyse the situation. I can execute my plan B or plan C immediately. Obviously, from there, I got to know what areas I should improve in. After that, I worked harder and believed more in myself. Prema was part of Royal Challengers Bengalurus title-winning sides in the 2025 and 2026 WPL, with three wickets in six games, and has been retained for 2027. Playing in front of such big crowds, she said, was an education in itself. It feels good. First of all, thanks to RCB for retaining me. My role will be the same as what I am doing here and in the Indian team. I will have the same role in RCB if I get a chance to be in the playing eleven and how much I can contribute to the team. I have learnt a lot from being in RCB. I have gained confidence, especially how to handle various situations because, coming from domestic cricket and playing for RCB is such a big jump. Like, its a big franchise and it has such a big fan base. So, I have also experienced that aspect. I have also learnt how to handle that pressure. I have also shared the dressing room with many experienced players and got to know about their hard work, discipline and pressure handling skills. The environment there is very positive and everyone supports each other. Back home, her record 14-ball fifty came as a surprise. Yes, they are feeling proud. Its a bit shocking for them as I am an all-rounder and kahi na kahi achanak se hi hua hai (they think that this has happened all of a sudden). They also got to know about it all of a sudden, just like how I found out. They were shocked, but were proud of me at the same time. At times, they do say, Sarkari job lelo karke (Take up a government job). But its okay thats not important for me right now. Cricket is important to me. But overall, the family mahaul (atmosphere) is very good. Prema also credited the womens Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) for the exposure and chance to play in televised games. Its very important because as far as I know, I got noticed from there by many people through the opportunities I got in the state T20 league. It gave me a good platform to show my talent and get noticed. First of all, I would like to thank the Cricket Association of Uttarakhand for the womens UPL. Playing in the league helped me understand my game better and prepare me for the bigger opportunities. The young players coming from this league are very good and get to show their talent and be noticed. Former Uttarakhand coach Anagha Deshpande was another big influence on Prema. Anagha mam was with us for a long time. She had been very supportive and calm throughout the games. She helped a lot of players, whether it is on the field or off the field, as well as emotionally. Actually, she did a lot of work on us. She helped us a lot in how we can grow in various ways. Like, the more we talk, the more we will know about our game. The more we learn and tell each other about knowing and understanding our game and improving as players, she made us understand that.

BBL 16: Mustafizur Rahman Joins Melbourne Renegades For Maiden Stint
Big Bash League: Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is set to make his Big Bash League debut after signing with the Melbourne Renegades for the upcoming BBL 16 season, with the franchise bringing in the experienced left-armer to reinforce its pace attack following Jason Behrendorffs injury. Behrendorff, one of the most successful bowlers in the tournaments history and its fourth-highest wicket-taker, will miss the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. The Renegades have turned to Mustafizur, widely known as The Fizz for his deceptive cutters and variations, to fill the void. The 31-year-old brings considerable experience to the Australian T20 competition, having represented Bangladesh in 271 international matches across formats. He has also established himself as a regular presence in franchise cricket, collecting 423 wickets in 331 T20 appearances at a strike rate of 16.9. Renegades head coach Luke Ronchi believes the Bangladesh internationals ability to deliver breakthroughs at different stages of an innings will add a valuable dimension to the bowling unit. Mustafizur is a proven match-winner in T20 cricket all over the world. His ability to take wickets in both the Powerplay and at the death is exactly what we wanted in our attack. BBL audiences love a player who can change a game in a single over and Mustafizur can do just that. Every ball has the potential to produce something special, and our fans are going to love watching him bring the theatre across the summer, Renegades head coach Luke Ronchi said in a statement. Mustafizurs recent performances against Australia further underline his credentials. During Bangladeshs ODI series against Australia in June, he claimed 3-27 in Mirpur to help the hosts secure an unassailable 2-0 advantage in the three-match contest. His franchise career includes nine Bangladesh Premier League campaigns and eight IPL seasons. He was also part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad that won the IPL title in 2016, his debut season in the competition. Expressing excitement about his first Big Bash assignment, Mustafizur said he was particularly looking forward to playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I am looking forward to playing in the BBL for the first time with the Melbourne Renegades. It will be special to play at the MCG as my home ground and Im excited to join my teammates and bring my experience to the squad, Mustafizur said in a statement. Mustafizur will not be available for the Renegades historic season opener against Perth Scorchers in Chennai because of his commitments with Dubai Capitals in the ILT20. However, he is expected to be available for the remainder of the tournament. He becomes only the third Bangladesh player to feature in the Big Bash, following Shakib Al Hasan and current Hobart Hurricanes recruit Rishad Hossain.

MGMMCH gets dedicated water supply system after 16-month shortage
There was a time when the question of Bollywoods biggest superstar inevitably revolved around the three Khans. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan dominated the conversation for decades, with each enjoying extraordinary box-office success. But as Hindi cinema prepares for the release of Ramayana, an interesting question arises: Is Ranbir Kapoor finally ready to challenge this hierarchy? Ranbirs rise has been anything but straightforward. Unlike several stars whose careers have been built around a recognisable commercial formula, Ranbir has constantly experimented. He has played a troubled musician in Rockstar, a charming young man in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, a conflicted son in Animal and now takes on the responsibility of portraying Lord Rama in Ramayana. The numbers demonstrate just how far he has travelled. Sanju (2018) opened at Rs. 34.75 crores and went on to collect Rs. 342.53 crores in India. Five years later, Animal (2023) took an extraordinary opening of Rs. 63.80 crores and finished with Rs. 556.36 crores. Between the two came Brahmastra (2022), which opened at Rs. 36 crores and collected Rs. 257.44 crores. These films also highlight something interesting about Ranbirs career. His biggest successes havent necessarily followed the same template. Sanju was a biographical drama, Brahmastra was a fantasy spectacle, while Animal was an intense, adult-oriented action drama. The common factor was Ranbirs ability to attract audiences to substantially different cinematic experiences. However, the journey hasnt been without setbacks. Shamshera (2022) managed just Rs. 42.48 crores in its lifetime despite its large-scale action setting. This demonstrates that Ranbirs name alone cannot guarantee success. Like every other superstar, he still depends on the material, director and audience response. This is where Ramayana becomes particularly significant. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film has the potential to expose Ranbir to an unusually broad audience. While Animal appealed strongly to viewers seeking intense action and drama, Ramayana is positioned as a family-oriented mythological spectacle with appeal across generations, languages and international markets. If successful, it could give Ranbir something that even a blockbuster like Animal couldnt fully provide: a widely recognised heroic identity rooted in one of Indias most familiar stories. The distinction matters. Some of Bollywoods biggest stars became cultural phenomena because audiences identified them with memorable characters over several decades. Shah Rukh Khans romantic image, Salmans larger-than-life mass persona and Aamirs reputation for carefully selected projects were all built gradually. Ranbir has arguably been less dependent on a single screen identity. His versatility is his strength, but it also makes his superstardom harder to define. Ramayana could change that. There is another factor worth considering. Ranbir occupies an interesting generational position. He has been around long enough to build a substantial body of work, but is younger than the three Khans. This offers him the possibility of attracting audiences who grew up watching his films while continuing to reach newer viewers. Nevertheless, declaring him Bollywoods biggest superstar purely on the strength of Ramayana would be premature. Superstardom is not measured by one blockbuster. It depends on consistent opening-day pull, audience loyalty, repeat viewership, longevity and the ability to attract crowds even when the film does not belong to an established franchise. The Khans have repeatedly demonstrated that kind of drawing power over several decades. Ranbirs next challenge is to prove that his success is equally sustainable. The decisive question, therefore, isnt simply whether Ramayana can become Ranbir Kapoors highest-grossing film. It is whether the film can elevate his standing to a level where his presence becomes an event in itself, irrespective of the director, genre or franchise. If Ramayana delivers on its enormous expectations, Bollywoods superstar conversation could enter a fascinating new phase. The Khans legacy will remain secure. But the battle for the next era of Hindi cinema may finally have a serious frontrunner. Also Read: Dhurandhar The Revenges Rs. 100 crore single-day feat is Ramayanas FIRST TARGET!

Raj CM's father casts vote in ancestral village, appeals to people to take part in polling
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Kishan Swaroop Sharma, the father of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, cast his vote in the ongoing panchayat elections in the state on Tuesday in his ancestral village of Atari. He reached the polling station at the government school in Atari Gram Panchayat and exercised his franchise at Booth number 112, located in room number 4. After casting his vote, Kishan Swaroop Sharma spoke to journalists and appealed to the people to participate in the electoral process in large numbers. He stressed that every voter's participation is crucial to strengthening democracy. He later spent some time at the village chaupal, interacting with residents and discussing issues concerning the village's development. He subsequently left for Bharatpur. Meanwhile, residents of Nagla Singhada village in Bayana Panchayat Samiti of Bharatpur district boycotted the Panchayat elections in protest against the village's removal from its original Gram Panchayat during the delimitation process. The villagers said Nagla Singhada was earlier part of Singhada Gram Panchayat but has now been merged with Bangaspura Gram Panchayat, located around four km away. They demanded that the village either be restored to Singhada Gram Panchayat or be granted independent Gram Panchayat status. After learning about the boycott, Tehsildar Nitesh Kumar Goyal reached the village and attempted to persuade the residents to participate in the polling. However, the villagers remained firm on their demands. The polling for the third phase of the Rajasthan Panchayat elections began at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and will continue until 6 p.m. The phase covers 377 wards across 27 Zila Parishads and 2,119 wards across 116 Panchayat Samitis. The electoral fate of 9,094 candidates will be decided in this phase. Around 1.06 crore eligible voters are entitled to exercise their vote, including more than 51.33 lakh women. With the conclusion of the third phase of panchayat polls, only the fourth and final phase will remain. It is scheduled to be held on November 14 after the Diwali break.

Imagine Lanning Walking Out For Toss And Molineux Not In XI: Anjum On UPWs Selection Connundrum
With Phoebe Litchfield: UP Warriorz face a significant selection dilemma ahead of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 season, with former India captain Anjum Chopra questioning how the franchise will accommodate its overseas stars following the additions of Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris at the auction. Anjum believes the presence of several established international players could leave the franchise struggling to settle on its preferred four overseas options, particularly with Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield and Sophie Ecclestone already commanding important roles. The Warriorz have attempted to strengthen their squad after another campaign in which finding the right overseas combination proved challenging. However, the latest additions have created a different selection question, with Molineux's arrival potentially complicating the competition for places alongside Ecclestone, who remains a key component of the side. Anjum believes three overseas players are virtually assured of their places, leaving the franchise with a difficult decision over the remaining spot and the role of its other high-profile recruits. With Phoebe Litchfield and Meg Lanning both there, Sophie Ecclestone is another player who walks straight into the playing XI. Those three are automatic picks. The challenge for UP Warriorz was how to fit everyone in because they wanted to play Deandra Dottin. When she couldn't do well, they were going helter-skelter trying to find that balance, Anjum told JioStar. The selection puzzle is particularly interesting given the contrasting skill sets available to the franchise. Ecclestone provides a frontline spin option, while Molineux brings another left-arm spin-bowling option alongside her batting contributions. Harris, meanwhile, offers an attacking middle-order presence. Now, they have Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris, who has played for UP Warriorz earlier as well, when Alyssa Healy was there. But how will you combine Sophie Ecclestone and Sophie Molineux? If you look at Mumbai Indians, they don't change their core. They did everything they could to have Amelia Kerr back, to the extent that Harmanpreet was ready to take a pay cut. But if you look at UP Warriorz, they are unsure about what combination will actually work for them because imagine Meg Lanning walking out for the toss and Sophie Molineux not being in the playing XI. That would be very strange, she added. The selection puzzle is particularly interesting given the contrasting skill sets available to the franchise. Ecclestone provides a frontline spin option, while Molineux brings another left-arm spin-bowling option alongside her batting contributions.

Harmer Questions Lack Of Specialist Spin-bowling Coaches In England, Backs Carl Crowe For Key Role
Wales Cricket Board: South African spinner Simon Harmer has questioned England's approach to developing young spinners, claiming a lack of specialist coaching is holding them back, and urged the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to appoint Carl Crowe as a national spin-bowling consultant. Harmer, who has spent the last 10 seasons playing county cricket for Essex, believes England have enough talented spinners but are failing to provide them with the necessary guidance and resources to take their game to the next level. I just think there's a lack of spin-bowling coaches in England. I worked with Carl Crowe for the first time with Durban Super Giants in the SA20, and he is an absolute genius when it comes to spin bowling. He understands the game, he understands the biomechanics of spin bowling, and how he isn't being utilised more within the county system, I don't understand, Harmer told the Sky Cricket podcast. The South African, who recently produced a match-winning performance against Australia with figures of 6/16 in the fourth innings at Newlands, argued that young spinners often struggle to receive specialised guidance when their county bowling coaches are primarily fast-bowling specialists. If you go and you play against a county and the bowling coach is a fast bowler, and he's there trying to help develop a young spin bowler. Now, for me as a spinner, I have certain transferable things that I could probably say to a fast bowler, but I certainly don't know how to make that bowler better or how to develop that bowler, he said. Harmer stressed that the problem was not a shortage of resources but a lack of willingness to establish the right structures within county cricket. He believes Crowe, who previously worked as an assistant coach at Lancashire and is currently involved with three Super Giants franchises, could help address the gap. It's not a lack of resources. It's just a lack of want to get those structures into the county game. How you aren't using Carl Crowe as a consultant and going and working with different spinnersAs a result of that, a lot of spinners feel isolated; they feel alone, they don't feel like they have the needs and the means for them to take their game to the next level, he added. Harmer also identified Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir and Jack Carson as bowlers with the ability to represent England at the international level, but questioned how they were being developed outside the national team's set-up. It's something that needs to be looked at because if you look at Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir, Jack Carson, they are all good enough to play international cricket. But how are these guys being developed when they are not with the England national team? he said. While acknowledging that Jeetan Patel is involved with England's spin-bowling set-up, Harmer questioned the extent of his involvement in county cricket and felt the ECB needed to take a more proactive approach rather than waiting for a shortage of quality spinners to emerge. You've got Jeetan Patel who's working with the spinners there, but I haven't seen him working with spinners at a county game or coming to watch. I just think it's something that needs to be looked at. And what happens is that England will wait until they don't have any spinners and then they will start to try and problem-solve instead of being proactive, he said. Again, it's not because there aren't enough good spinners in England. There are plenty, but they just don't have the tools necessary to upskill, he added. The ECB has recently appointed Richard Dawson as its elite national spin-bowling lead, a role aimed at strengthening the development of spinners, although he will also work as one of Stephen Fleming's assistants in England's Test set-up. Patel is no longer involved with the Test team but remains one of Brendon McCullum's white-ball assistants. Harmer's comments come ahead of England's upcoming Test tour of South Africa, where head coach Stephen Fleming has hinted that the visitors could rely on four specialist fast bowlers and part-time spin options. However, the South African believes Jack Leach should remain a strong option if England decide to include a specialist spinner, particularly given the conditions expected at venues such as the Wanderers, SuperSport Park and Newlands. For me, Jack Leach would be the guy. If you are going to play a spinner at those venues, you need, in the first innings, somebody who can hold from one end so that your seamers can rotate and attack, and come and bowl four overs of aggressive fast bowling, Harmer said. However, the South African believes Jack Leach should remain a strong option if England decide to include a specialist spinner, particularly given the conditions expected at venues such as the Wanderers, SuperSport Park and Newlands.

It Is Time For UP Warriorz To Think In The Direction Of An Indian Captain: Veda Krishnamurthy
UP Warriorz: Former India batter Veda Krishnamurthy believes UP Warriorz should consider appointing an Indian player as captain for the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 season, suggesting that handing the responsibility to experienced all-rounder Deepti Sharma could give the franchise greater flexibility while selecting their overseas combination. The franchise has assembled a squad featuring several prominent overseas names, including Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield, Sophie Ecclestone, Sophie Molineux and Grace Harris. With only four overseas players permitted in the playing XI, Veda feels an Indian captain could help UP Warriorz avoid selection decisions being influenced by the leadership responsibilities of an overseas recruit. She identified Deepti, who has been associated with the franchise since the inaugural edition, as a strong candidate for the role, while suggesting that Lanning could still contribute to the leadership group without necessarily wearing the captain's armband. I am a big fan of having an Indian player as captain. That solves a lot of problems when you talk about the overseas combination. When you have Deepti Sharma, who has been there for four years, I honestly feel it is time for UP Warriorz to think in that direction. They can say that Deepti is the captain. You always have Meg Lanning there, who can probably guide her. It doesn't have to be Meg Lanning as captain. It can be Deepti Sharma as captain, with Meg Lanning helping her along. That probably solves a lot of problems because then you can look at the best possible options you would want in your playing XI, Veda told JioStar. Vedas suggestion comes at a time when UP Warriorz have multiple overseas players competing for limited places, making the captaincy question an important part of their team-building exercise. She also pointed towards the potential complications of having an overseas captain who may not necessarily be an automatic selection based on current form or team requirements. It doesn't have to be Meg Lanning as captain. It can be Deepti Sharma as captain, with Meg Lanning helping her along. That probably solves a lot of problems because then you can look at the best possible options you would want in your playing XI, Veda told JioStar.

Unfortunate That Grace Harris Has Gone At Base Price: Abhinav Mukund
Australian Ellyse Perry: UP Warriorz's decision to secure Australian all-rounder Grace Harris at her base price in the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction has drawn attention, with former India cricketer Abhinav Mukund questioning whether the franchise's latest acquisition reflects her actual value. Mukund believes Harris, despite coming off a strong season, was unfortunate to lose her place in a championship-winning setup following the return of fellow Australian Ellyse Perry, but expects the hard-hitting batter to play an important role for UP Warriorz in the upcoming edition. Harris, who has previously represented UP Warriorz, was among the notable overseas additions made by the franchise at the auction. Her availability at the base price has raised questions about how teams are valuing experienced overseas players, particularly those who have already demonstrated their ability to deliver in the competition. Explaining why Harris found herself in that position despite her performances, Mukund pointed towards the difficulty of retaining a place in a settled overseas combination when another high-profile player becomes available. I actually feel for someone like Grace Harris because, if you look at every other team in the league, they've got their four overseas players nailed down along with the associates, if required. And unfortunately for Grace Harris, despite having a great season, she finds herself out of a championship-winning side because a better player, for lack of a better word, Ellyse Perry is back, Mukund told JioStar. Mukund also highlighted how the return of established international players can influence auction decisions, even when franchises are required to part ways with performers who have contributed to successful campaigns. In Harris' case, the Australian's power-hitting and versatility could offer UP Warriorz an important middle-order option. The franchise has also brought in Sophie Molineux, adding another dimension to its overseas resources. However, the challenge will be to identify a combination that accommodates its new signings alongside established names such as Meg Lanning, Phoebe Litchfield and Sophie Ecclestone. Mukund also highlighted how the return of established international players can influence auction decisions, even when franchises are required to part ways with performers who have contributed to successful campaigns. In Harris' case, the Australian's power-hitting and versatility could offer UP Warriorz an important middle-order option. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

BJP accuses AISA's Neha Bora of 'Hindu hate', claims she is 'inspired' by LoP Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on All India Students' Association (AISA) President, Neha Bora over her remarks on the Brahmanical system and religious institutions. The BJP alleged that she was displaying Hindu hate and shared an old statement in which she alleged that priests commit rapes inside temples. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari targeted Bora over the comments and alleged that her views were influenced by Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, Rahul Gandhi. He also alleged that the Congress was harbouring hostility towards Hindus, claiming that the party's approach posed a threat to the country's unity. Taking to social media platform X, Bhandari shared Bora's remarks and drew a comparison with an earlier statement attributed to Rahul Gandhi concerning the safety of women in temples. Neha Bora, poster girl of Rahul Gandhi, displays her Hindu hate! Says - 'Pujaris rape in temple'. She is inspired by Rahul Gandhi, who earlier had said 'Mandiro main ladkiyon ke sath ched chad hoti hai'. Congress hates Hindus, loves vote bank! Congress Soch is a threat to India's unity! Bhandari alleged in his post. The controversy erupted after Bora made the remarks while extending support to an impeachment resolution against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The resolution and the criticism surrounding the Election Commission have been part of the ongoing political debate over the revision of electoral rolls which the Opposition claims have resulted in the disenfranchisement of 13 crore Indians. Bora had earlier accused the authorities of deliberately deleting voters' names and committing procedural violations during the electoral roll revision exercise. Following these allegations, Bora turned her attention to caste-based discrimination and the role of religious institutions, arguing that women and other vulnerable sections required protection from what she described as the Brahmanical system. Protection is absolutely necessary - and it is precisely from the Brahmanical system that such protection is required. This is a system which posits that the poor, the oppressed, animals and women are all deserving of subjugation and abuse. It is the very same system under which even Brahmin women are unsafe and fall victim to rape. Priests commit rapes inside temples. We have witnessed such instances... Bora said.

Ayushmann Khurrana has built his filmography around stories that often step away from conventional Bollywood templates while retaining their mainstream appeal. From making his debut with Vicky Donor to starring in films like Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Andhadhun and Dream Girl, the actor has explored different genres and subjects. With Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa adding to his upcoming slate, Ayushmann says he intends to continue backing stories that offer audiences something different. Speaking about his approach to choosing projects, the actor emphasised that experimentation has remained central to his journey. I have always believed in walking the road less travelled. Whether it is from Vicky Donor, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Dream Girl, Andhadhun to Udta Teer, Yeh Prem Mol Liya or Mupapa, my choices continue to reflect that and I want to keep exploring stories that are content-forward and break away from the expected. It is the audience's trust in my choices that gives me the confidence to take risks and the freedom to experiment, challenge myself and move between genres. Ayushmanns filmography has included social comedies, romantic dramas and dark thrillers, allowing him to move between different storytelling spaces rather than remain associated with a single genre. At a time when franchises, large-scale spectacles and familiar formulas continue to occupy a significant space in the industry, the actor believes there is still room for films that take a different approach. He also spoke about the importance of balancing unusual premises with entertainment, adding that audience acceptance ultimately encourages him to keep experimenting. As an actor, I have always wanted to be part of films that offer them something new while keeping entertainment at the heart of it. The love Udta Teer continues to receive is humbling, and it only tells me that audiences are always ready for something different. They will embrace a fresh perspective, an unusual premise or a new way of storytelling, as long as it entertains and connects with them. I'm thankful to every director, writer and team that has trusted me with these stories, and to the audience for showing that unconventional stories can find a place in mainstream entertainment, he added. With Udta Teer receiving attention and Yeh Prem Mol Liya and Mupapa representing different facets of his upcoming work, Ayushmann continues to explore varied narratives. His latest comments underline his intention to keep choosing projects that combine distinctive storytelling with theatrical entertainment.
