T20 WC: 'The Sea Is Rough, Just Sail Through' How Jatinder Overcame Injury To Become Omans Captain
ACC Emerging Teams Men: Jatinder Singh arrived in Sri Lanka on January 23 as the captain of Omans squad, hungry to rewrite their narrative in the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026. With Oman set to open their Group B campaign against Zimbabwe in Colombo, Jatinder was in a reflective mood on his cricketing journey that could have ended prematurely due to a career-threatening sciatic nerve issue in his back. Jatinder, who has scored 507 runs in 20 T20Is since the World Cup was last played in 2024, is the most by any Omani batter in that period. Life since the 2024 edition was rough for Jatinder, who wasn't even in the main squad for that tournament. An eight-month injury rehabilitation, loss of central contract in between, and crushing self-doubt had pushed him to the brink of retirement. Now he prepares himself to captain Oman at cricket's biggest stage in the shortest format. I would say this is a bit emotional for me because I was left out in the previous World Cup, and now, I am captaining the side. It is a great honour, and I feel blessed and grateful for the opportunity. It's just that one step at a time, and I never thought I would be captaining the side and get a chance to captain in the World Cup, which is the epitome of white-ball and T20 cricket. I feel really honoured and grateful for this opportunity. More than that, I feel our team is really very skilful, with a talented bunch of cricketers, and we are looking forward to it, Jatinder told IANS in an exclusive conversation facilitated by SportCell ahead of the mega event. Oman's preparation began on January 22 when the squad departed Muscat and reached Colombo to get acclimatised to the conditions. Unofficial warm-up fixtures against the United States and Canada provided crucial match practice, while official warm-up victories over Sri Lanka A and Zimbabwe have lifted spirits in the Omani camp. The presence of long-time Oman head coach Duleep Mendis, a legendary Sri Lankan player, adds significant value, particularly with the side playing their games in his homeland. He is the one who loves the sport the most. He is a legendary guy here, and cricket runs in his blood. Of course, homecoming for him as we are playing the World Cup here. What more can you ask for? said Jatinder, Oman's all-time leading T20I run-scorer with 1,605 runs. Omans win record in the T20 World Cup has been sparse - the memorable 2016 victory over Ireland and another against Papua New Guinea in 2021. He is really overjoyed and excited because this is the fourth World Cup Oman is playing. We have had dry World Cups for a long time, and I feel everybody is hungry and we are all looking forward to having an impactful tournament, added Jatinder. Jatinder's captaincy approach focuses on creating an environment where players can express themselves freely. I try to think too far ahead, as they are not in your control. I try to keep the mood in the dressing room very light. I like everyone to open up, have a good rapport with each other, maintain good relationships, and appreciate each other. I think I have played that role in bringing everyone together on the same page and working towards one goal - towards the victory and betterment of the team. I think I have been successful, and the boys have been really cooperative, and you can see the result, he said. Apart from Zimbabwe and Ireland, Omans Group B opponents include previous winners Sri Lanka and Australia -- teams with significantly more resources and international experience. Jatinder felt they could give them a scare due to T20's unpredictability, favouring the fearless. T20 is a game where I don't think anyone can take any team lightly because in a very short span of time, a game can slip away. If you are zoned out, the game can slip away in an hour or so. There is hardly any time for the team to come back in the game, as I believe T20 requires a lot of intensity and game awareness. I think they should be fearing us, not us, because they have a long history. They have been playing very competitive cricket, and we don't get to play a lot of competitive cricket. So, I think they should be fearing us, not us, he said. It is this mentality that sums up Omans mission go beyond mere participation. To the team, what we have been saying is that we are not coming and participating in the World Cup. We just have to have an impactful tournament, and we want to play competitive cricket. We want to make an impact because we keep on telling them that even for us, we had a really dry World Cup. This time, we really have to have an impactful performance so that we can show the world that Oman is also on the cricketing map. Jatinder has witnessed Oman cricket's remarkable transformation first-hand. When Oman qualified for their first World Cup in 2016, they were the only team from ICC Division 5 to reach the tournament. Infrastructure improvements and quality coaching have accelerated development, thus keeping the sports growth on the right track. Beyond Singh, only four players - Aamir Kaleem, Shakeel Ahmed, Sufyan Mehmood, and Muhammad Nadeem - have previous World Cup experience. This means the rest of the 11 players are absolute newbies in the T20 World Cup. For those 11 players who are playing the World Cup for the very first time for Oman, they are really hungry. They want to showcase their talent to the world, and this is the golden opportunity for them, he said. With Sri Lankan pitches favouring spinners, Omans spin attack is well-suited to exploit the conditions. I have been to different platforms where I have said that it is a spin-dominating side. So, we will be banking a lot on the spinners. Of course, the pitches are going to help the spinners in Sri Lanka, and we are looking forward to it. Jatinder's path to leading Oman in this World Cup began with catastrophe. During a 2023 tournament in Zimbabwe, a persistent back injury worsened due to the workload. He continued playing through pain until it became unbearable. When one of his teammates, wicketkeeper-batter Suraj Kumar, recommended that Jatinder should contact Dr. Gaurav Sharma, Gujarat Titans' physiotherapist based in Chandigarh, he initially expected a quick fix. He said he is really good with rehab, physiotherapy, and treatment. I got in touch with him and was under the impression that it might take about 15-20 days for me to get the injury sorted. I travelled to India, and he did the assessment and everything. Then, I asked him about the timeline. He said that this will take about 3-4 months for you to get back to normal because there are a lot of posture issues to be sorted out. The diagnosis revealed deeper structural problems caused by playing through injury. He said, 'You have been playing with the injury, and that has become your routine regimen now. So, you have to get rid of it slowly, slowly.' Then, I moved there and stayed in Kharad, which was about a 20-25-minute drive from his rehab centre. I was there for about 100-104 days. Then, I got back to Oman and still had sort of niggles. In my mind, I was thinking, I have come back a bit early, and I should have stayed a bit more and gotten myself treated 100 per cent, he recalled. With some issues persisting after rehab, things became worse for Jatinder when he was dropped from the squad and lost his central contract. It took him eight months to get back to normalcy in his life, but the turmoil persisted. I got a chance to play in the UAE A team tour to Oman. I scored some runs in those games, and we were touring Canada just after the tournament. I was part of that L2 series in 2024, but then, things started to fall apart. I made up my mind that I am not enjoying the sport anymore, and I want to just give up. But I had a lot of sleepless nights because of thinking about what I am going to do if I don't play the sport. Teammates also suggested his batting style wouldn't facilitate a comeback to his normal self, but his wife Ramandeep Kaur became his lifeline. It was my wife who basically inspired me to fall in love with the sport again. She was the one who said, 'Just keep going. Things are not in your favour, but the sea is rough, and you just sail through. He confided in Mehmood about losing passion for cricket, but got encouragement from him. I spoke to Sufiyan also about this and said, 'I am not getting the joy I used to get. I have to get to the ground; I have to do this and that, and I am not getting that kick to play.' He was also telling me the same thing - 'No problem, things will be alright soon. But you just hang in there. Things are tough. You just hold tight. Everything will be sorted soon.' The turning point came during the 2024 ACC Emerging Teams Mens Asia Cup, where Singh captained Oman against India, Pakistan, and the UAE. Though winless, he played in all games, as Oman's competitive performances earned widespread praise. Ten days later, Oman achieved an unprecedented home whitewash - winning all four matches against the Netherlands and UAE in the Cricket World Cup League 2 series. He confided in Mehmood about losing passion for cricket, but got encouragement from him. I spoke to Sufiyan also about this and said, 'I am not getting the joy I used to get. I have to get to the ground; I have to do this and that, and I am not getting that kick to play.' He was also telling me the same thing - 'No problem, things will be alright soon. But you just hang in there. Things are tough. You just hold tight. Everything will be sorted soon.' Also Read: Live Cricket Score I had made up my mind that my playing days were over. That's it, and my cricket is over. But God had different plans, and it is absolutely God's plan that now I am leading the team in this T20 World Cup, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

1st South Asian Agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests Congress Concludes in Delhi
Two-day Congress TREESCAPES 2026 Reimagined Agroforestry in South Asia Deliberations by Foreign Agri Ministers, experts on agroforestry’s contribution to climate resiliency, farmers’ livelihood, tree-based entrepreneurship and economic growth The Centre for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), in collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), successfully concluded TREESCAPES 2026, the 1st South Asian Agroforestry & Trees Outside Forests (AF-TOF) Congress, held from 5th to 7th February 2026 at the Bharat Ratna C. Subramaniam Auditorium, National Agricultural Science Complex (NASC), Pusa Campus, New Delhi . The three-day regional congress aims to emerge as a landmark platform for collective deliberation on strengthening tree-based agriculture and trees outside forest systems to enhance climate resilience, restore landscapes, and improve agricultural livelihoods across South Asia and was graced by eminent dignitaries, including Dr Madan Prasad Pariyar, Hon’ble Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development, Government of Nepal; and Mr Ahmed Hassan Didi, Hon’ble Minister of State for Agriculture and Animal Welfare, Republic of Maldives; along with senior officials from India and other South Asian countries. Dr. M.L. Jat, Secretary (DARE) and Director General, ICAR and Mr. Manoj Dabas, India Country Director, CIFOR-ICRAF, during TREESCAPES 2026 Speaking on the occasion Dr M.L. Jat, Secretary (DARE) & DG (ICAR), stated, “Asia is home to some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable agricultural systems, yet it also holds immense potential to lead in nature-based economic transformation. Recent regional studies show that agroforestry has helped reduce deforestation and avoid tens of millions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually while supporting rural livelihoods. TREESCAPES demonstrates that scaling success will depend on unlocking green finance, empowering local institutions, and integrating youth and women into extension and entrepreneurship models. For South Asia, tree-based agriculture is not just about restoring landscapes - it is about future-proofing rural economies.” Mr. Manoj Dabas, India Country Director, CIFOR-ICRAF further stated, “India’s tree-based systems already account for nearly 20 percent of national carbon stocks, yet the country continues to import over USD 7 billion worth of wood and wood-based products annually, growing at double-digit rates. This contradiction highlights a massive missed opportunity. TREESCAPES has brought together evidence showing that tree-based agriculture can reduce import dependence, strengthen rural incomes for India’s 86 percent marginal farmers, and deliver measurable climate outcomes. The next phase of growth will depend on aligning carbon markets, digital traceability, and private-sector procurement with farmer realities. Agroforestry must be positioned not as an environmental add-on, but as core rural infrastructure.” The two-day Congress brought together policymakers, senior government officials, researchers, industry leaders, financial institutions, civil society organizations, farmers, and youth from across South Asia, with discussions focussing on strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, expanding forest certification with greater smallholder integration, and leveraging agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests (TOF) for climate resilience and ecosystem services among others. In addition to featuring high-level thematic sessions focused on digital and geospatial innovations for agroforestry, water-secure and multifunctional landscapes, capacity building and extension systems, and enhancing trees in urban landscapes, the Congress also included four plenaries and a dedicated ministerial hour, underscoring strong political commitment to mainstreaming agroforestry and Trees Outside Forests across South Asia. With India’s push towards a green economy in sync with its 2070 net-zero goals, TREESCAPES 2026 highlighted the need for stronger institutional collaboration and PPP partnerships to address implementation opportunities and scale agroforestry sustainably in India by positioning itself as a pivotal platform in encouraging further effective implementation of agroforestry as a means of increasing tree cover and improving farmers’ incomes and livelihoods as we move towards a more climate-resilient future. About Treescapes TREESCAPES 2026 is being organised jointly by CIFOR-ICRAF and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), with the ICAR-Central Agroforestry Research Institute (CAFRI), Jhansi, National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), and the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal, as Organising Partners. The Thematic Partners for TREESCAPES 2026 include GIZ, Haryana Forest Development Corporation, ITC Limited, The Nature Conservancy, Intellecap, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Indian Society of Agroforestry, and IORA Ecological Solutions. The National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) and the Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) are the Knowledge Partners in the Congress. With India’s push towards a green economy in sync with its 2070 net-zero goals buoyed by the country’s reforestation drive (recently driven by Gujarat), TREESCAPES 2026 positions itself as a pivotal platform in encouraging further effective implementation of agroforestry as a means of increasing tree cover and improving farmers’ incomes and livelihoods as we move towards a more climate-resilient future About CIFOR-ICRAF CIFOR-ICRAF The Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry ( www.cifor-icraf.org ), harnesses the power of trees, forests and agroforestry landscapes to address the most pressing global challenges of our time - biodiversity loss, climate change, food security, livelihoods and inequality.

WPL 2026: Both Teams Unchanged As RCB Elect To Bowl First Against DC In Title Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won the toss and elected to field first against Delhi Capitals in the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) final at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi, Vadodara, on Thursday. Both teams are unchanged from their wins in their last games in the competition. RCB won the WPL in 2024 and are aiming to add their second title. DC, meanwhile, are three-time runners-up and are keen to break their losing jinx in a WPL title clash. RCB qualified for the final as table-toppers, while DC edged Gujarat Giants in the Eliminator to enter their fourth straight summit clash. Of course, it's been a trend in the tournament, but having said that, on a good wicket, it's always good to know what you're going to chase. It's been brilliant, I feel. First 2-3 days, we all had a good time off. We didn't think a lot about cricket. Of course, in the last two or three days, we came back together, practised hard. Again, there's nice nerves, nice anxiousness, and nice excitement, and I feel you all have to embrace it. We've all had a chat about it - don't run away from it, just embrace it, said RCB captain Smriti Mandhana. I'm not sure that it's different. What's worked for us is keeping things as simple as we can. I think nothing will change for us today as well. Everyone had that calm energy today. But of course, the excitement level is high. For sure, I mean, we know that we have to turn up and play our best cricket, she added. DC skipper Jemimah Rodrigues said it is better to lose the toss in such games, but conceded that she would have bowled first too. Firstly, in such big games, it's better to lose the toss because sometimes it always works out for good. So, we would have also bowled first, but we're happy with what came. Just kept it very simple. Didn't try to overthink it too much. Kept it simple, kept our plan simple. One good thing is playing the Eliminator; we're playing on the same pitch again. So we know what it's going to look like and we're ready for today, she said. The final will be played on pitch number five, the same surface used for the Eliminator clash. Former New Zealand womens keeper Katey Martin said shorter boundaries were expected to favour batters. The square boundaries are at 54m and 58m respectively, with a straight boundary of 66m. Katey also noted that less grass across the cracks could still offer assistance to bowlers if they hit consistent areas, as DC seam-bowling all-rounder Chinelle Henry did in the Eliminator when she claimed three wickets.

To improve awareness about and access to the availability of senior care services and products, Antara Senior Care - India’s only fully integrated senior care ecosystem - has joined hands with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance (SUD Life), one of India’s fastest growing and prominent life insurance providers in India. The tie-up takes an integrated approach towards senior wellness and financial literacy with the initiative set to culminate in the launch of specialised financial products for seniors. According to The Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI) 2021 report by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, only 28% seniors are aware of any concessions, schemes or benefits available for them, a mere 18% are covered by health insurance, and 78% live without pension cover. The fact that ~70% seniors are completely dependent on family and relatives for everyday needs despite various government schemes and emerging private sector solutions underlines the need for initiatives to further awareness about age-care services. The Antara-SUD Life partnership is a decisive step in that direction. Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services, said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance to promote well-informed, proactive ageing, enabling seniors to lead healthier, more independent lives. Backed by the Max Group’s legacy in healthcare and the experience of developing one of India’s most comprehensive senior care ecosystems, Antara is uniquely positioned to help SUD Life Insurance customers and their families understand various facets of holistic wellness to secure their future.” Mr. Abhay Tewari, MD & CEO, Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance, said, “We are delighted to partner with Antara to deliver a structured and holistic approach to senior citizen well-being, integrating financial security with overall wellness. At its core, this initiative is about helping people understand their choices and plan with more confidence. As longevity increases, such integrated solutions will play a critical role in helping individuals plan with confidence for the years ahead.” As India’s foremost fully integrated senior care ecosystem with services spanning from award-winning residences to NABH-accredited Care Homes to D2C wellness website AGEasy, Antara will use its expertise, derived from serving over five lakh seniors, to craft digital-first, information-rich communication for SUD Life’s customers and employees. Antara experts will also lead webinars and on-ground engagements to further awareness about the different types of care needed through differing phases of ageing and the financial solutions and tools needed to equip seniors and their families. Insurance specialists from Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance curated and launched exclusive financial products that can be used by Antara customers. India is at the cusp of a significant demographic shift. According to the JLL-ASLI 2024 report, the country’s senior population is poised to more than double from 156.7 million in 2024 to 347 million by 2050. UNFPA data projects that the population of people aged 80+ in India will grow by approximately 279% between 2022 and 2050, bringing with it complex challenges be they financial or care related. Addressing these requires integrated, scalable solutions that go beyond healthcare alone – a gap addressed by this tie-up between Antara Senior Care and SUD Life. About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the $7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business - Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services. Antara’s first senior residential community in Dehradun, comprising nearly 200 families, caters to their social, recreational, educational, wellness, and health-related needs. In the near future, it will open its second senior living community in Noida’s Sector-150, with families moving into the 340 apartments built in the first phase. Expanding its footprint in Gurugram, Antara will manage senior living residences, dedicated spaces for senior living, and primary healthcare services at Estate 360 and Estate 361, developed by Max Estates. Antara’s Assisted Care Services include Care Homes, Memory Care Home, Care at Home and AGEasy. This line of business caters to seniors, who need more immersive interventions in their daily lives due to medical or age-related issues. With seven facilities across Gurugram, Noida, Bengaluru and Chennai, Care Homes provide long-term care to seniors who require constant medical and nursing supervision, and short-term care services for the recuperation of seniors. Its Care at Home services, offered in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai, provide well-equipped, trained professionals offering care to seniors inside their home’s comfort. AGEasy, an online and offline store focusing on senior-specific products and solutions to manage chronic health conditions at home, has touched over 5 lakh lives since inception in 2023.
