Duleep Trophy Goes Back To Zonal Format, Indias Schedule Announced For White-ball Series Against NZ
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: After a meeting on Saturday, the Apex Council of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the 2025/26 domestic will begin with the Duleep Trophy on August 28 and conclude with the Senior Womens Inter-Zonal Multi-Day Trophy on April 3, 2026. As per changes announced by the Apex Council, the Duleep Trophy and Senior Womens Challenger tournaments will now be contested between six zonal teams selected by zonal selectors. The format is a departure from the last time when the national selection committee picked the squads, and for the upcoming season, teams will be picked by the Zonal Selection Committee as per the previous tradition. The Apex Council also said the Plate Group restructuring has been introduced across age categories. As per this, the bottom 6 teams (based on the previous seasons rankings) will be placed in the plate group for limited-overs tournaments, adding that only one team will be promoted/relegated between Elite and Plate groups going forward. In the 2025/26 domestic schedule, the prestigious Ranji Trophy will continue to be held in two phases. The first phase of the tournament will begin on October 15 and run till November 19, while the second phase begins on January 22. Regarding the tournament updates, the Apex Council said the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Senior Womens T20 Trophy will now include a Super League stage instead of a traditional knockout. In this, each team will play three games in the league, following which the top team from Groups A and B will feature in the final. As far as new tournament grouping formats are concerned, major tournaments such as the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Senior Womens One Day Trophy, and Mens U23 State A Trophy will follow a four Elite Groups + one Plate Group model. On the other hand, most junior and womens tournaments (U16, U19, U23) have been moved to a five Elite + one Plate group structure. Meanwhile, the BCCI Apex Council has also approved the venues for Indias upcoming white-ball home series against New Zealand, scheduled to be held in early 2026. Vadodara, Rajkot, and Indore will host ODIs on January 11, 14 and 18, respectively. Nagpur, Raipur, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, and Thiruvananthapuram are the hosts for the five T20Is to be held from January 21 to 31. The five T20I matches will serve as vital preparation games for India and New Zealand ahead of the 2026 Mens T20 World Cup, to be played in India and Sri Lanka. Ranji Trophy Groups for 2025-26 season Elite A: Tamil Nadu, Baroda, Jharkhand, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra, Nagaland Elite B: Saurashtra, Chandigarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Goa Elite C: Gujarat, Haryana, Services, Bengal, Railways, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Assam Elite D: Mumbai, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Hyderabad, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Puducherry Plate: Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim, Manipur, Arunachal India vs New Zealand mens white-ball series schedule: ODIs: - Vadodara (January 11), Rajkot (January 14) and Indore (January 18) India vs New Zealand mens white-ball series schedule: Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

Indias concerns legitimate; can help de-escalate Israel-Iran tensions, says Israeli Envoy
NEW DELHI: Israels Ambassador to India, Reuven Azar, expressed optimism on Saturday about Indias potential role in mediating the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, following a telephonic conversation between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India has avenues for dialogue with both sides. It can indeed play a role. We are happy to have this sincere dialogue with India, which is a very good friend. We listen carefully to your concerns. I think they are legitimate, Azar said in an interview with PTI Videos. His remarks come amid heightened tensions in West Asia, with Israel and Iran exchanging strikes. Netanyahu briefed Prime Minister Modi on Friday about Israels actions, which the ambassador described as defensive measures against an existential threat posed by Irans nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile programme. No country in the world is interested in this kind of situation, Azar said, emphasising that Israel had no choice but to act decisively. Iran strikes Israel with deadly missile barrage after nuclear site attacks; 3 killed, dozens hurt He alleged that a covert group of Iranian officials is attempting to develop nuclear weapons with the intent to exterminate Israel, as repeatedly stated by Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. We had to remove an imminent threat and took decisive action against their nuclear installations and ballistic missiles, Azar said, noting Irans plans to build a massive arsenal of ballistic missiles over the coming years. They are planning to build 10,000 ballistic missiles in the next three years, and 20,000 in the next six years. They have a huge arsenal, creating a ring of fire against Israel. They can attack us from the Southern Front, so we had no choice but to act on this nuclear threat, and we are determined to finish the job, the ambassador stressed. Azar added that Israels ongoing operations aim to ensure that Iran cannot enrich uranium, a goal Israel is determined to achieve diplomatically or militarily. Referring to US President Donald Trumps 60-day negotiation window, Azar said Israel acted on the 61st day after Iran failed to comply. Iran has been cheating the international community, Azar alleged, adding that Israel will continue its operations until the nuclear threat is neutralised. Regarding the targeted killings of Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists, Azar said the strikes sought to dismantle a criminal plot to eradicate Israel. Those responsible for this plan of destruction have been taken out. We hope their successors will learn the lesson and stop this course of action, he concluded.

WEF to set up Energy, Cybersecurity Centre in Andhra Pradesh
VIJAYAWADA: In a significant step towards positioning Andhra Pradesh as a global hub for innovation and sustainable development, the State government has partnered with the World Economic Forum to set up the WEF - Andhra Pradesh Centre for Energy and Cyber Resilience in Amaravati. This initiative is a part of the governments broader Swarnandhra Vision 2047. The State government on Thursday issued an which outlines the establishment of this pioneering Centre under the WEFs global Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) Network. It will be Indias first thematic centre on energy transition and green industries, in collaboration with WEFs Centre for Energy and Materials (CENMAT) and AI-led digital transformation and Cybersecurity, in collaboration with WEFs Centre for Cybersecurity. The initiative follows meetings with WEF at Davos and would position Amaravati as Indias leading centre on green energy, sustainability and cybersecurity. The project is being spearheaded by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh, with the goal of boosting Andhra Pradeshs international presence and attracting investments in clean energy, AI, and digital infrastructure. The key objectives of the Centre are to raise Andhra Pradeshs global profile and build international partnerships, support the growth of green industries and improve cybersecurity, implement pilot projects in clean energy, smart grids, and use of AI in areas like farming and governance, train people in cybersecurity and new technologies, and connect the State with global platforms like the WEFs Forums Annual Meeting in Davos. The state government has sanctioned Rs 36 crore for a period of three years to support the Centres activities. The Centre will be governed by a high-level committee chaired by the HRD & IT Minister Nara Lokesh, a release said. His journalistic rights need to be protected: SC Questioning the Andhra Pradesh government over the arrest, the bench said it was necessary that Raos journalistic rights and his fundamental right to freedom of speech were protected. The petitioner (Rao) himself did not make the statement on the live TV show and his journalistic rights need to be protected so that his freedom of speech is also protected. We direct that the petitioner be released subject to conditions imposed by the trial court, said, the bench and ordered Raos release. During the course of the hearing, senior advocate Siddharth Dave, appearing for Rao, argued that Rao had not made the objectionable remarks and could not be held liable for statements made by another participant in a live debate. He argued, This is my freedom. Someone else is making a statement. Opposing the submissions, Advocates Mukul Rohatgi and Siddharth Luthra, appearing for the State of Andhra Pradesh, argued that Rao was not a passive bystander but was seen laughing and thereby abettedtheoffence.
Take NDA government achievements to people from June 23: CM Chandrababu Naidu
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu has directed the party rank and file to actively participate in the month-long door-to-door campaign from June 23 to explain the development programmes and welfare schemes implemented by the coalition government in its first year rule as part of the First Step in Good Governance initiative. We have fulfilled our promise by implementing the Talliki Vandanam scheme. We made it clear that the scheme will be implemented without any cap on the number of school going children in a family. We have delivered that promise, the TDP supremo said. Though we planned to organise the First Step in Good Governance programme with MLAs, MPs, and officials on June 12, it was cancelled due to the plane crash in Ahmedabad, he said. Holding a teleconference with TDP MLAs, MPs, leaders and activists on Friday, Naidu asserted that from leaders to grassroots workers should participate in the campaign highlighting the achievements of NDA government. Besides highlighting our first-year achievements, we should counter false propaganda of opposition. Unable to digest our success, the opposition has resorted to attacks and insulted women, Naidu said. Suggesting the cadre not to be complacent just because of the success of Mahanadu, he ordered the constitution of party organisational committees to provide opportunities to the hardworking activists. Opinions of all should be considered while constituting the TDP committees, he said. Making it clear that posts will be given to only those functioning as Kutumba Sadhikara Saradhi, he said the party activists should always be dynamic. Announcing that training camps will be organised for activists, and leaders from July, Naidu asserted that activists will be elevated as leaders. Recalling that activists sweated it out when the party was not in power, he directed the MLAs to dedicate some time to party activities on a regular basis, and mingle with people. Recalling that party cadre and leaders promoted Super Six, the NDA manifesto, and Babu Surety - Bhavishyathuku Guarantee before the elections, the Chief Minister said the coalition government is now implementing all of them. Despite financial constraints, key schemes are being implemented within the first year. The previous government pushed the State into a debt trap with reckless borrowings. We have released Rs 10,000 crore for the Talliki Vandanam scheme benefiting 67.27 lakh students. Each mother receives Rs 13,000 for every school going child, and Rs 2,000 has been earmarked for school development. We said the scheme would be implemented before the reopening of schools, and we have done it, Naidu said. He explained that the beneficiaries include 18,55,760 mothers with one child, 14,55,322 with two children, 2,10,684 with three children and 20,053 with four children. While the previous government extended this benefit to only 42 lakh children, our government is covering 25 lakh more. Similarly, while Rs 5,540 crore was spent by the previous government, we are spending Rs 8,747 crore on it per annum, which is Rs 3,205 crore more, he highlighted. Parents have expressed happiness over the release of Talliki Vandanam funds. This is historic. Such a massive amount has never been released for a single scheme at once earlier, he said. Despite such efforts, some people are still criticising the NDA government. We are implementing the Talliki Vandanam scheme in a better way without changing any guidelines, he asserted. Under NTR Bharosa, we are providing pensions worth Rs 34,000 crore annually. Through Anna Canteens, four crore meals have been served. For farmers welfare, we are launching the Annadata Sukhibhava scheme on June 20, as promised in our election manifesto. Thus, we are implementing two important schemes of Super Six in the same month, the Chief Minister said. Mentioning that the government is promoting initiatives like yoga, while implementing welfare and development schemes, Naidu said Yogandhra programme is being organised across the State in a big way. International Yoga Day will be observed in Visakhapatnam with a record participation of five lakh people. The goal is to involve two crore people across the State. Already, 2.21 crore people have been registered. Participants who join yoga for three days will receive a certificate. Yoga must become a part of life. This movement aims to build a healthy, wealthy, and happy society. This is a collective movement to place Andhra Pradesh on the global map, the Chief Minister highlighted, adding that preparatory events for Yoga Day will be held at one lakh locations tomorrow.

UTT 6: Promising Yashaswini making notable strides
AHMEDABAD: Yashaswini Ghorpade's career has been on an upwards trajectory. After conquering the junior level of table tennis, she has transitioned to the senior level. The 20-year-old won the senior nationals in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh last September before shining again in her hometown Bengaluru in December. A noteworthy moment of her nascent career, however, came when she defeated the Chinese paddler, World No 35, Fan Siqi last week in the season six of the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) at EKA Arena in Ahmedabad. Donning the orange and black jersey of U Mumba TT, Yashaswini displayed mental fortitude, edging past Siqi, who represented the Chennai Lions. That she won from a 2-7 deficit in the deciding tie, against an unbeaten opponent then, made it extra special. It was a very important match for me as well as for my team (against Chennai). I did believe in myself for that match and I kept going, despite going 2-7 down. I kept winning the points as well. The celebration was amazing. I didn't believe it, she recalled. Yashaswini's victory was a significant one as U Mumba TT went on to qualify for the playoffs after beating Dabang Delhi on Thursday. It's been great playing with the team. We have bonded really well for almost three weeks already, she said. Working under the guidance of a familiar face in John Murphy, the head coach of U Mumba TT, has helped. The Irishman is renowned for bringing Australia to the top-100 rankings during his tenure there. I have known John since my youth. He used to travel with the Australian team. He has been quite helpful in the camps there as well. Knowing him quite well from before has also helped us in bonding very well this year. He is a great coach, she added. Prior to the UTT 6, which started on May 31, Yashaswini made her debut in the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Championships mid-May. She paired with paddler Diya Chitale and lost in the pre-quarterfinals in the women's doubles event. This run came amidst forgettable outings for other Indian paddlers. However, it was a great learning experience for the youngster. It was a great feeling playing with high-level players. This tournament (World C'ships) is second only to the Olympics. Myself and Diya played really well and gave our best, she said. Transitioning to the senior level of any sport comes with a lot of challenges for young players. Yashaswini explained her transition. I have learnt that the pressure that we feel before the match, many people don't get to feel it. We are very lucky to feel it. I like the pressure going forward. I have learnt along it (transition to senior levels) to believe in myself and to continue the process and enjoy the moment, she said. Twelve weeks after being inducted into the ranking system of the ITTF, she is ranked 79. After UTT concludes, Yashaswini will be focussing on improving her game before next year's Asian Games. I will be taking part in the Asian Championships in Bhubaneswar in October, she signed off. Yashaswini's level of performance is a welcome boost for Indian table tennis. Come Saturday, she will be hoping to inspire U Mumba during their semifinal encounter against defending champions Dempo Goa Challengers. Jaipur Patriots enter final It all came to the final, and the most-awaited match between Sreeja Akula and Diya Chitale to decide the winner of the semifinal tie between Jaipur Patriots and Dabang Delhi on Friday. In the second and final womens singles match, Sreeja Akula got things running by taking the first set home 11-9. Chitale remained determined and took the second set 6-11. Sreeja seemed unfazed by the pressure of the deciding set and guided the Patriots to Sunday's final.

Meta invests $14.8 billion in Scale AI and recruits its CEO
Meta has finalized its $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI, which now values the startup that provides other companies with data labeling and model evaluation services for AI training at $29 billion. As part of the deal, Scale AI's founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will be joining Meta. According to The New York Times , Wang will lead Meta's fledgling Superintelligence lab. A few days ago, several reports came out that Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg has been personally overseeing the recruitment for a team he's assembling to achieve AI superintelligence . Zuckerberg, who was reportedly frustrated by the quality of Meta's Llama 4 LLM, has been inviting potential recruits to his home and offering them compensation packages worth seven to nine figures. Wang said in his note to Scale employees that he's taking a few other people from the startup with him to Meta to work on artificial intelligence. Meta has yet to formally announce the team and to reveal what their role will be, but their ultimate goal based on the name Superintelligence lab is to develop AI with intellectual powers far beyond any human's. This investment is Meta's second largest after its $19 billion Whatsapp acquisition . With its $14.3 billion investment, Meta will have a 49 percent stake on Scale but will have little control over its operations. The Times said the companies decided on that structure to avoid being scrutinized by regulators. Both Amazon's $4 billion investment in Anthropic and Microsoft's close ties to OpenAI were probed by regulators, after all. Meta itself is still battling the FTC in an antitrust case over its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. In his note to employees, Wang wrote that opportunities of this magnitude, pertaining to Meta's investment, come at a cost. That cost, he said, was his departure. Wang will still serve on Scale's Board of Directors, but his position as CEO will be taken over by Jason Droege, the startup's current Chief Strategy Officer.

IT-driven Telangana focusing on green energy: Sridhar
HYDERABAD: Telangana is facing the challenge of balancing energy production and consumption while reducing emissions, IT & Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu said on Thursday. He pointed out that the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies was increasing the energy demand, particularly in data centres that require high power for faster processing. This, he said, called for the production of green and carbon-free energy. Sridhar Babu was speaking at the inauguration of GreenCo Summit 2025, organised by the CII GreenCo Council, at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC). The two-day summit, held on the theme Beyond Commitments: Scaling Net Zero Action for 2030 and Beyond, brought together over 1,000 delegates from India and abroad to discuss industrial sustainability and green innovation. The summit provided a platform for industry leaders, policymakers, technology providers and environmental professionals to exchange ideas and discuss key themes such as net-zero strategies, decarbonisation pathways, ESG integration and circular economy practices. More than 100 speakers who spoke on these topics underscored the role of Indian industry in achieving climate goals. Sridhar Babu said the state government was framing policies with future generations in mind, but stressed that collective effort from industries and startups is essential for driving environmental change. Commenting on the countrys changing weather patterns, he said the climate crisis was no longer a distant threat but a present challenge. We are experiencing extreme weather, such as unseasonal rains in summer and unusual heat in December. These are clear warnings of the challenges ahead, he pointed out. Stress on water resources The minister also noted the stress on Indias water resources, stating that the country supports 18% of the worlds population with only 4% of global freshwater resources. India, he pointed out, was the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide but has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 and meeting 50% of its energy needs from renewables by 2030, as part of the Paris Agreement. The minister said Telangana was committed to creating a green industrial ecosystem and promoting clean technology and resource efficiency through progressive policies. He suggested that the Pollution Control Board and the CII Green Business Centre collaborate to encourage more companies to adopt the GreenCo rating. The inaugural session was also attended by CII Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre chairman Jamshyd N Godrej, CII vice-president Suchitra K Ella, GreenCo Summit chairman Pradeep Bhargava, CII Telangana chairman R Sivaprasad Reddy and others.

CM Majhi deploys Vikas Vahans to promote government achievements
BHUBANESWAR: With the BJP government completing its first year in the state on Thursday, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi inaugurated the state-level Vikas Vahan Yatra, a public outreach programme to convey its achievements and connect the people with various government programmes. Flagging off several vehicles which will criss-cross the state, the chief minister emphasised the importance of public participation in ensuring the success of various schemes launched during the last one year. The goal is to reach out to people in remote areas through information and education-based programmes, raise awareness about welfare schemes and connect citizens with these initiatives. This approach makes administration more people-centric, Majhi said. The programme is being organised by the Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water department. The double-engine government in the state is working at double speed to fulfil the aspirations and expectations of the people. A key focus of the government is to strengthen its bond with the people, the chief minister said. The Vikas Vahans will travel across 314 blocks, 115 notified area councils (NACs) and five municipal corporations across the state. Through this initiative, the state government will distribute Pragati Prabah, a booklet detailing its successes over the past one year. This will enable the people to learn about various government schemes and successful programmes. They will also have the opportunity to watch videos about these initiatives, he added. Speaking on the occasion, Panchayati Raj minister Rabi Narayan Naik said the government is dedicated towards building a prosperous Odisha under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. Ekamra-Bhubaneswar MLA Babu Singh, chief secretary Manoj Ahuja and development commissioner Anu Garg were present on the occasion.
Kerala CM urges government officers to speed up file movement
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With just a year left for the government to complete its term, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday urged gazetted officers to speed up the movement of files to meet the 900 promises the government made when it came to power in 2021. The government conducted many successful file adalats in the past nine years, but they are not enough, he said after inaugurating the Diamond Jubilee building of the Kerala Gazetted Officers Association (KGOA) in Thiruvananthapuram. The reason why adalats are needed repeatedly is that peoples requirements are not met regularly. Adalats are a way to atone to those shortcomings, the CM said. Pinarayi also highlighted the importance of proper execution of department-level responsibilities for the governments efficient functioning. Since the current governments term gets over next year, responsibilities must be handled properly at the department level to meet the 900 promises it made when it came to power in 2021, he said. The CM also highlighted the way Kerala has been trying to address unemployment. Though the states population will be roughly 2.5% of the countrys total population, Kerala carries out 60% of total PSC appointments in India. The state government created over 40,000 new jobs in the last nine years, he said, adding that these are happening when lakhs of posts remain vacant in the country. Pinarayi also stressed on the need to develop a culture in which people feel the government is a structure to execute their decisions. No matter what the nature of peoples concerns, officers should not approach them with a preconception. Instead, there should be positive thinking, he said, while also urging the officers to have proper political awareness, as they are the ones who take government initiatives to the people. MLA V Joy, former speaker M Vijayakumar, KGOA state president S R Mohanan and others were present at the event.
