Ben Stokes Retirement: From World Cup Glory to Ashes Heroics, A Legendary Career Ends
Ben Stokes Retirement: After the Lord's Test in the recent series against New Zealand, Ben Stokes got embroiled in a controversy involving a late-night altercation and a breach of the team curfew but returned to the squad, and the captaincy, for the third Test of the series in Nottingham. Unfortunately, this proved to be his last dash, and Ben Stokes announced his retirement, in the middle of a session at Trent Bridge. A warrior, who was also a showman, will not be seen now in international cricket. He has so far ruled out any U-turn, even for the Ashes, next year. He was one of the best all rounders this game has ever seen. In terms of form, his best year was 2020, as he scored at an average of 50+ and claimed wickets at 18. However, he shall be remembered for 2019 for his two best moments: the 2019 World Cup final and the successful chase at Headingley (Ashes century). He played 38 innings for England that year, but the World Cup final and Headingley innings shall always be talked about as among the best. In the World Cup final chasing 242, by the end of 45th over, England had only Stokes with the company of the tail. The final three batters faced one ball combined and Stokes (84*), with the help of the overthrows took the match and England were champions on the boundary count. Similarly, he had his downfall also: Arrested in 2011 for a night out; Sent home by the England Lions in 2013 for unprofessional behaviour (drinking and breaking team rules); Missed the T20 World Cup in 2014 after punching a locker and in 2017 knocked out two men and fractured an eye socket in a fight. The 2026 incident of being dropped from the English cricket team after a fight in a Chelsea nightclub ultimately brought the end of all the agony. This all didnt suit his profile but he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, given for what the English public think about a player as a personality (not just performance) and is among the three cricketers (in the last 50 years) to receive it (Others: Ian Botham and Freddie Flintoff). Among English captains (minimum 15 Tests), he is one of five with a win percentage of 50+ but also lost 18 Tests, bringing him to the third -best winning percentage and the fourth-worst losing percentage, for England. He scored 30 from 20 balls in a crazy final innings and received a huge ovation, returning. His final Test numbers: 7,273 runs at 34.46, and 252 wickets at 30.98 and incidentally Zak Foulkes was his last wicket, and he was the last man to get him out also. He had many moments to celebrate in his illustrious career: * In Tests one of the 3 players to score 7000+ runs and claim 200+ wickets. * Scored 2nd fastest 200 and the fastest 250 runs in an innings in Tests. * Twice scored 100+ runs in a session in Tests. * Before his last innings, he was the only cricketer who never got out while opening but got out in his last innings (in his last Test). * As a bowler, once he broke a 300+ runs (in his last Test), 3 times he broke 200+ runs, 18 times he broke 100+ runs and 49 times he broke 50+ runs partnerships in Test cricket. * As per allrounder Ratio (Batting average to Bowling average), out of 26 players (min. qualification: 2000+ runs and 200+ wickets in Tests), with the figure of 1.112 (34.46/30.99) Stokes is at number ten, sandwiched between Chris Cairns (1.140) and R Ashwin (1.073). * In his last Test innings, batted at number 2 (it just happened or did it deliberately-no one knows) and completed the set of batting in all positions from 1-11 in the batting order. * The only player in Tests to achieve all three of these: Batted in all 11 batting positions; Dismissed the batters from all 11 batting positions and took catches of batters from all 11 batting positions. Also Read: Live Cricket Score * He scored an average of 33 runs off 57 balls per innings, bowled an average of 13 overs to claim 1.38 wickets per innings and took a catch per Test, justifying a proper all-rounder tag.

Despite better job quality in these cities, a significant wage gap persists, with women earning considerably less than men, especially in self-employment. Longer working hours are also noted.

Altaf Bukhari blames govt for reducing employment opportunities by outsourcing jobs in J&K
Srinagar, July 3: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday blamed the government for further increasing unemployment by outsourcing jobs and undermining democracy and democratic institutions by centralising power in the hands of one man at the helm of the government. He made these remarks while addressing workers' conventions at Khanabal and Achabal in south Kashmir today. During his address at the events, Altaf Bukhari said, On the one hand, the government promised the youth employment opportunities, but on the other hand, they snatched away those very opportunities through the outsourcing of jobs. Instead of reducing unemployment, they have only made it worse. He further alleged that the government had failed to launch any employment-generating projects even after being in power for more than twenty months. They have not initiated a single project so far to generate employment opportunities for the youth, he said. Bukhari also accused the ruling National Conference of undermining democratic institutions by centralising authority after assuming office. In a democracy, elections are meant to empower the people. However, after coming to power, the National Conference concentrated authority in the hands of a single individual. This has weakened grassroots democracy and democratic institutions, he said. He further alleged that democratic values had been replaced by a culture of flattery. Today, we have the rule of flatterers rather than the rule of democratic principles. Apni Party will continue its struggle against such undemocratic practices and work to ensure that the benefits of democracy reach the people. We remain committed to strengthening grassroots democratic institutions and restoring power to the people, Bukhari added. He strongly criticised the government over what he described as its failure to provide effective governance and its inability to fulfil the promises it made during the election campaign. He said, he government has failed to deliver on the commitments it made to the people, who had given it a massive mandate after believing its assurances and election promises. He said, One of the promises the ruling NC made to the people during the 2024 election campaign was that it would restore the abrogated Article 370. Among its other promises was to provide one lakh jobs for unemployed youth, with an assurance that these jobs would be given soon after it assumes office. He added, Now, more than 20 months later, we hear that the government has outsourced thousands of jobs, which amounts to a grave injustice to unemployed youth. There is a long list of promises that the NC made only to lure voters and secure their votes, but those promises have remained unfulfilled. Addressing the Achabal gathering, Bukhari assured party workers that the Apni Party would soon launch a public outreach campaign in the area to strengthen its presence and expand its grassroots base. At Khanabal, he expressed gratitude to the party's workers for remaining steadfast and loyal through the party's ups and downs since its establishment. Urging people to get themselves rid of the traditional political parties, Bukhari said, What have these family-run parties given you, other than exploiting your mandate to build political empires for themselves? The people of South Kashmir entrusted all seven seats to the ruling NCCongress alliance, yet not a single representative from the region was considered worthy of a ministerial portfolio. This is how the leaders of these traditional parties reward the people and honour their mandate once they secure victory. He further said, The NC's victory in the elections was largely an accidental one, driven by the unique circumstances prevailing at the time. Many people believed the party would genuinely strive to restore the abrogated Article 370. They also trusted its promises of providing 200 units of free electricity, free gas cylinders, an additional ration quota, and several other welfare measures announced by NC leaders during their election campaign. But now this government stands completely exposed for its failure to provide effective governance and fulfill the promises it made to the people, he added. The party leaders who also addressed the workers' conventions held at Khanabal and Achabal included the party's General Secretary, Rafi Ahmad Mir; Additional General Secretary, Hilal Ahmad Shah; Chief Coordinator and District President of Kulgam, Abdul Majeed Padder; District President of Anantnag, Mufti Sarwar; and others. Besides these leaders, those who were present at both or either of the events included Provincial Secretary Kashmir, Nazir Ahmad Wani (Dilgami); Constituency In-charge, Anantnag West, Sheikh Muzaffar; Constituency In-charge, Shangus, M.K. Yogi; In-charge, Dooru, Bashir Ahmad Bragami; Hilal Ahmad Lone; Hafiza Jee; and others.

EOW chargesheet exposes a rotten recruitment culture The chargesheet filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kashmir in the Health Department recruitment scam is not just about four individuals allegedly gaming the system with forged degrees. It is an indictment of a recruitment culture that has, for far too long, allowed merit to be mocked and public faith to be abused. According to the Crime Branch, the accused managed to secure government appointments in the Health Department through fake and forged educational testimonials, slipping through a process supposedly overseen by the Services Selection Recruitment Board (SSRB). Their selections were later cancelled once the fraud came to light. That should worry every honest aspirant in Jammu and Kashmir: if forged documents can sail through a recruitment process until someone complains, what confidence can we have in the integrity of past or ongoing selections? Health is not an ordinary sector. When fraudsters occupy posts meant for qualified professionals, it is not just a matter of cheating the system; it is a direct attack on peoples lives. Every fake appointment means a deserving candidate was pushed out, and a crucial post was handed to someone who had no right, and perhaps no competence, to hold it. In a place already struggling with healthcare gaps, this is unforgivable. The EOWs move to file a chargesheet after a long-drawn investigation is welcome, but it also raises uncomfortable questions. How many such cases have gone undetected? How many forged certificates still lie buried in dusty recruitment files? How many jobs have been stolen from our youth who spent years preparing honestly for examinations? Cosmetic cancellations and routine advisories to the public to remain vigilant are not enough. The government must order a time-bound, independent audit of recruitments in sensitive departments like Health, Education and Social Welfare, starting with selections made over the last decade. Accountability cannot stop at the candidates alone; officials, board members and verifiers who failed or refused to detect blatant forgery must also face consequences. Unless the system is cleansed, case by case and file by file, every new recruitment drive will be greeted with suspicion and anger. For a generation of jobless youth already losing hope, this scandal is yet another reminder that in Jammu and Kashmir, the real test is not merit, but the ability of the system to protect it. That, not just one chargesheet, will decide whether public institutions can still be trusted.
