Agarkar & Co. Slated To Meet In Mumbai To Select Indias Squads For White-ball Games Against SA
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The senior mens selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, is scheduled to convene in Mumbai on Sunday to select Indias squads for the upcoming white-ball series against South Africa, said sources to IANS. Agarkar, along with RP Singh and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, were in Guwahati on Saturday to attend day one of the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. But IANS understands that the trio left for Mumbai from Guwahati on Sunday for the selection committee meeting at the BCCI headquarters. Yes, the selection meeting is today in Mumbai, after being initially presumed that it would happen in Guwahati. It is understood that other members are also travelling to Mumbai for it, further said the sources. Following the conclusion of the two-match Test series, India will play against South Africa in three ODIs, to be played in Ranchi, Raipur and Visakhapatnam and five T20Is set to take place in Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. The discussion in the Agarkar-led panel is expected to centre a lot on who could lead the side for the ODI series against the Proteas. Theres a leadership vacuum in the 50-over set-up as captain Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer are unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries. With Gill also consulting Mumbai-based spinal surgeon Dr Abhay Nene for his neck injury recovery, it also puts him as a doubtful starter for the T20Is against South Africa, starting on December 9. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Pant, on the other hand, is captaining India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati, but hasnt been a first-choice starter in the 50-over set-up due to Rahuls presence. In Gills absence, Yashasvi Jaiswal could partner with Rohit Sharma at the top. IANS understands that theres a leadership toss-up between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, with more discussions expected to happen in the selection committees meeting. Rahul has led India previously in ODIs and was the captain when the side beat South Africa in the 50-over series in 2023. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For the T20I series against the Proteas, barring Gill, the majority of the squad is likely to be on the expected lines. It would be interesting to see if Hardik Pandya is included, with the seam-bowling all-rounder on rehab mode for a quad injury recovery at the BCCI CoE in Bengaluru. Article Source: IANS

Nortje Returns To South Africa Squad For T20Is Against India, Hermann Included For ODIs
South Africa T20I: Fast bowler Anrich Nortje has returned to South Africas squad for the T20I series against India, to be held from December 9-19, while batter Rubin Hermann has earned a callup for the ODI leg of the tour taking place from November 30 to December 6. Nortje, 32, last turned out for South Africa in the 2024 Mens T20 World Cup final against India in Barbados in June 2024. The fast bowler returned to competitive cricket through the CSA T20 Challenge with the Dolphins, after having fully recovered from a stress reaction injury that sidelined him from the Proteas trips to Zimbabwe, Australia, and England. Of course, well miss KG (Kagiso Rabada) on this tour, but as we saw in the first Test win over India, this group has depth and that is one of our primary goals as a squad; to develop a unit filled with players who can step up at any time. Every time someone is unavailable, it opens the door for another player to stand up. We want to see more players stand up as we have been seeing so often over the past couple of years. It's also really good to welcome Anrich back into the T20I side after he missed the previous tours through injury. We know exactly what he brings, so were really looking forward to working with him, said head coach Shukri Conrad in a statement. Wicketkeeper-batter Hermann, meanwhile, made his ODI debut against Pakistan earlier this month. Temba Bavuma will lead the side in the ODI series against India to be played in Ranchi, Raipur, and Visakhapatnam. Aiden Markram returns to captain the T20I side for the series to be played in Cuttack, New Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad, with David Miller also back in the set-up and Ryan Rickelton finding no place. Were really looking forward to this white-ball tour for so many reasons. The T20I series in particular is an important opportunity for us to finalise our squad ahead of next years T20 World Cup, which will also be played in India. Getting clarity on combinations and roles now is crucial as we build towards that tournament. In the 50-over format, these matches will give us a clear picture of where we are as a group and what we need to keep building on as we shape the squad ahead of the 2027 World Cup, added Conrad.

PANAJI: Departing from tradition, a grand immersive parade featuring film floats will mark the beginning of this years International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Panaji on Thursday evening. For the first time, IFFI will welcome audiences with a colourful, lively showcase where stories, music, and characters come to life. This change aims to transform the festival into a more vibrant, open, and publicly engaging event. The parade, starting from the Entertainment Society of Goa, is expected to turn the streets of Goa into a living canvas of Indias cinematic and cultural brilliance. Leading the spectacle will be magnificent state tableaus from Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, and Goa, each presenting a vivid portrait of identity and imagination. Andhra Pradesh highlights the charm of Visakhapatnams golden shores, the mystic valleys of Araku, and the pulsating spirit of Tollywood. Haryana offers a colourful fusion of folklore, theatre, culture, and cinematic pride. Goa, the festivals long-standing host, forms the emotional heart of the procession, celebrating its cosmopolitan warmth and timeless bond with world cinema. Among the highlights is the National Film Development Corporations (NFDC) 50 Years tableau, honouring five decades of nurturing filmmakers and fostering cinematic innovation across the nation. Marching alongside the states are grand cinematic tableaus from Indias leading production houses, each a moving universe of storytelling excellence. The mythic power of Akhanda 2 , the emotional depth of Ram Charans Peddi , the creative force of Mythri Movie Makers, the iconic legacy of Zee Studios, the global vision of Hombale Films, the Odia heritage of Bindusagar, Ultra Medias centenary homage to Guru Dutt, and the vibrant storytelling realm of WAVES OTT all converge to showcase the boundless diversity of Indian cinema. Opening the parade with breathtaking energy is the Central Bureau of Communications Bharat Ek Soor , a spellbinding folk symphony featuring over a hundred artists from sixteen states. Bhangra meets Garba, Lavani flows into Ghoomar, Bihu breathes beside Chhau and Nati, culminating in a majestic Tricolour formation that embodies Indias unified cultural heartbeat. Adding charm, nostalgia, and delight are Indias beloved animation favourites, Chhota Bheem and Chutki, and Motu Patlu and Bittu Bahanebaaz, stepping off the screen to greet audiences with laughter, warmth, and playful spirit. The Opening Parade of IFFI 2025 is more than an inauguration; it is a cinematic overture and a cultural promise. As Goa prepares for this extraordinary beginning, IFFI invites the world to witness India not just as a nation of stories, but as a nation in motion, moving forward in one unforgettable rhythm, said officials. Other highlights of this years edition include the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Film Festival and Hackathon. Over 50 women directors have their films featured, underscoring the governments commitment to promoting Nari Shakti in cinema.

IAF Sukhoi-30 MKI to get advanced jammer pods; DRDO develops new autonomous underwater vehicles
NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Forces (IAF) frontline Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircraft will see enhanced capabilities as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) moves to acquire Aircraft Self Protection Jammer (ASPJ) pods. In addition, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed a new generation of man-portable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (MP-AUVs) for mine countermeasure missions. In a Request for Information (RFI), the MoD stated, The Ministry of Defence intends to procure 100 sets of Aircraft Self Protection Jammer (ASPJ) pods along with associated equipment for Su-30 MKI aircraft. Delivery of the ASPJ pods is expected to be completed within 36 months. The proposed ASPJ pods will be integrated with the Su-30 MKI to jam and spoof enemy airborne and ground radars, the RFI added. Sources noted that while the RFI covers 100 ASPJ pods, additional Sukhoi aircraft are expected to be fitted with this capability. The RFI is a formal process seeking information from potential suppliers about a product or service. The first batch of Su-30 MKI jets was inducted into the IAF in September 2002. Currently, around 272 Sukhoi jets serve in the IAF. The Sukhoi fleet has undergone modifications enabling it to carry the air-launched BrahMos supersonic missile, allowing long-range precision strikes against enemy targets, including hostile aircraft carriers, with accuracy by day and night under all-weather conditions. The Su-30 MKI is an all-weather air-dominance fighter with multi-role capabilities, capable of undertaking long-distance air combat and ground-attack missions. Autonomous underwater vehicles for mine countermeasure missions The Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), Visakhapatnam, under DRDO, has successfully developed a new generation of man-portable Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (MP-AUVs) for mine countermeasure missions. Dr Samir V. Kamat, Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman, DRDO, said, The MP-AUV offers rapid response capability with reduced operational risk and logistic footprint for naval mine warfare applications. The system comprises multiple AUVs equipped with side-scan sonar and underwater cameras for real-time detection and classification of mine-like objects. Onboard deep learning-based target recognition algorithms enable autonomous classification, significantly reducing operator workload and mission time. To enhance situational awareness, a robust underwater acoustic communication system has been integrated to facilitate inter-AUV data exchange during operations, the MoD added. Recent field trials at NSTL/Harbour have successfully validated the systems key parameters and mission objectives.
