Matter Of Great Pride: Bihar Cricket Association Lauds Sooryavanshi's Historic Duleep Trophy Fifty
BCA President Harsh Vardhan: Bihar Cricket Association officials congratulated young batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for becoming the youngest player to score a half-century in Duleep Trophy history during East Zones ongoing semi-final against Central Zone in Bengaluru. At the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) Ground in Bengaluru, Sooryavanshi, who became the youngest debutant for India in international cricket via the T20I series in England in July, reached his milestone fifty off 42 deliveries before eventually ending up making a sparkling 92 off 81 balls, an innings featuring seven fours and seven sixes. In doing so, he surpassed a 57-year-old mark set in 1969 by Laxman Singh, who scored a fifty at 16 years and 23 days. On behalf of the Bihar Cricket Association, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi on this historic achievement. Breaking a 57-year-old record in the Duleep Trophy at such a young age is an extremely proud moment for Bihar cricket.

We are confident that he will go on to achieve many more milestones in the years to come, BCA President Harsh Vardhan said in a statement on Monday.

Homes in UK national parks cost 24% more: How much are buyers paying for the view?
National park homes cost 24% more on average than similar properties elsewhere. The New Forest is the UK's most expensive national park at 563,000. Surrey Hills tops national landscapes, with average prices of 710,000. Living inside a national park comes with a hefty property premium, with the New Forest topping the list at an average 563,000. Housebuyers looking for a home surrounded by protected countryside are paying significantly more for the privilege. Properties inside UK national parks cost 24 per cent more on average than similar homes elsewhere, according to research by Nationwide Building Society. Even living close to one comes at a price. Homes within three miles of a national park carry an average 6 per cent premium, suggesting buyers are willing to pay extra simply to be near protected countryside. The New Forest is the most expensive of the UK's national parks, with the average property costing 563,000. It is followed by the South Downs at 485,000 and the Peak District at 450,000. Paying for the countryside The premium is not simply about having a scenic view from the window. Nationwide said the limited amount of development permitted within national parks also plays a part. With fewer opportunities to build new homes, the supply of properties in these areas remains restricted. That can push prices higher when demand from buyers remains strong. The attraction of the countryside itself is another factor. National parks offer access to open spaces, villages and rural landscapes, which can make properties in these locations particularly appealing to buyers looking for a different lifestyle. The effect extends beyond national park boundaries. Properties in England and Wales' designated national landscapes, formerly known as areas of outstanding natural beauty, command a 14 per cent premium compared with similar homes elsewhere. Surrey Hills is the most expensive national landscape in which to buy, with average property prices of 710,000. The protected landscape covers roughly a quarter of Surrey and includes villages and rural communities such as Shere, Mickleham and Westhumble. The premiums have also proved relatively stable. Nationwide's comparable research in 2024 found that homes in national parks attracted a 25 per cent premium, while properties in national landscapes were 15 per cent more expensive. That suggests the appeal of protected countryside has remained strong even as the wider housing market has changed. For buyers, however, the numbers show that the dream of living closer to nature can come with a substantial extra cost and in some of Britain's most sought-after rural locations, the postcode may be worth almost as much as the property itself.

James Gunn could lose his job at DC Studios within months: 8 reasons why
Highlights: Reports suggest James Gunn 's position at DC Studios could be decided within months, following Supergirl's disappointing 2026 box office performance. It's not the first time his job has been on the line. He was fired outright from Marvel in 2018, then rehired within a year after a fan campaign. Along the way, he's picked fights over Superman's politics, a squirrel, a swear word, and a Deadline casting report, dividing fans on whether he's a bold creative voice or a liability the studio can't keep excusing. The question DC fans are actually arguing about right now isn't whether James Gunn has had controversies. It's whether this one, the one about his own job, is the controversy that finally sticks. Reports suggest his future at DC Studios could be decided within months, after Supergirl underperformed at the box office this year, turning a co-CEO who built his reputation on creative confidence into someone whose own leadership is now the story. It's not the first time Gunn's career has hinged on a single moment. Here's the full run of controversies that got him here, and why this one feels different. 1. The 2018 firing that cost him Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Old tweets from 2008 to 2011, joking about topics including pedophilia and rape, resurfaced after being dug up by conservative commentators. Disney moved fast: studio chairman Alan Horn called the posts indefensible and severed the company's relationship with Gunn within a day of the story breaking, pulling him off Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 entirely. 2. Gunn's apology, and the political angle nobody expected Gunn responded almost immediately, calling the old jokes otally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative and saying he'd regretted them for years. The story took an unexpected political turn when Donald Trump Jr. amplified the resurfaced tweets on social media, given Gunn's history as a vocal Trump critic, adding a partisan layer to what had started as an entertainment industry story. 3. The reinstatement that split fans down the middle Less than a year later, Disney reversed course and rehired Gunn to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after cast members and fans campaigned on his behalf. It remains one of the rare instances of a major studio publicly reversing a firing of this scale, and it didn't land as a clean redemption story for everyone watching. 4. Superman's political messaging, and Dean Cain's pushback When Gunn's 2025 Superman swapped the character's old ruth, justice, and the American way tagline for ruth, justice, and a better tomorrow, and framed Superman explicitly as an immigrant story, it drew public criticism from Dean Cain, who played the character in the 1990s series Lois & Clark. Cain accused the film of being reshaped to fit contemporary politics. Some fans called it a faithful return to the character's original 1938 immigrant roots. Others called it exactly the kind of change Cain warned about. Both camps have been arguing about it since, and neither has come close to convincing the other. James Gunn attends the Los Angeles premiere of Superman at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California, on July 7, 2025. Getty Images 5. The squirrel Warner Bros. almost cut Not every Gunn controversy is serious. During Superman's edit, a scene of the hero saving a squirrel mid-battle reportedly caused genuine internal arguments, with some test audiences questioning why it was there at all. Gunn insisted on keeping it in. It's a small story, but it's a useful reminder that plenty of what gets called controversial in entertainment coverage is really just a creative disagreement that leaked. 6. The line Guy Gardner almost didn't get to say A tighter internal fight nearly cut one of Superman's biggest laugh lines, when Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner was originally written with a much cruder insult aimed at Superman than what made the final cut. Gunn has since confirmed the joke was toned down specifically because of how the studio felt about the original wording, a small but telling look at how much gets negotiated behind a single line of dialogue. 7. The Deadline feud that showed a different side of Gunn When Deadline reported that four actors had tested for a key role in his Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, Gunn didn't just deny it quietly. He went public and called the report inaccurate, dismissing it as shoddy reporting and disputing the details point by point. Supporters saw a boss defending his production from bad information. Critics saw an executive who's a little too comfortable picking public fights with the press covering his own studio. 8. Supergirl's box office, and the question fans can't agree on This is the one that actually threatens the job. Following Supergirl's disappointing box office performance in 2026, reports suggested Gunn's future at DC Studios could be decided within months, with his own creative choices under scrutiny as the person who positioned himself as the studio's guarantor of quality. Superman performed well enough in 2025 to buy him goodwill; Supergirl spent a good chunk of it. Craig Gillespie, Peter Safran, Milly Alcock and James Gunn attend the SUPERGIRL World Premiere on June 22, 2026 in New York City. Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for Warner Bros. Pictures The fan argument splits roughly here: one side says one underperforming film in a slate this size shouldn't cost a co-CEO his job, especially one who delivered a genuine hit just a year earlier. The other side says Gunn built his entire pitch on being the person who'd fix DC's creative direction, and if that pitch doesn't hold up under pressure, the accountability should be real, not theoretical. Whichever side is right, Gunn's next two films are no longer just being watched as movies. They're being watched as his answer. Eight controversies, eight completely different registers, from a firing that nearly ended his career to a fight over a casting rumour, to a question that could end this chapter of it. What connects them isn't the severity. It's that Gunn rarely lets any of them go unanswered, for better or worse, and this is the first one where the answer isn't entirely up to him.

EJAC seeks regularization of dailywagers in J&K
Srinagar, Aug 31 : The Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC), Jammu and Kashmir, has once again drawn the attention of the Government towards the long-pending issue of regularization of daily wagers, daily-rated workers, casual labourers and other temporary employees engaged in different departments, urging that the matter be taken to its logical conclusion through a clear and time-bound policy. In a statement Senior Trade Union Leader and President EJAC, Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam, said that the issue of regularization has remained unresolved for years despite repeated assurances given by the various governments from time to time. He said that thousands of workers who have been continuously performing their assigned duties for years are still awaiting a permanent solution to their uncertain employment status. Mr. Shabnam particularly recalled that the present Government has also acknowledged the seriousness of the issue and has given an assurance on the floor of the Legislative Assembly that the concerns of daily wagers would be addressed and the issue would be resolved. He said that such a commitment made on the floor of the House has generated fresh hope among thousands of affected workers and their families, who are now looking towards the Government for a conclusive action. Mr. Shabnam said that these employees are seeking a fair and dignified resolution to an issue that has affected their livelihood and future for a very long period. He stated that many of these workers have spent a substantial portion of their productive years serving government departments. During this period, they have continued to discharge responsibilities despite uncertainty regarding their employment, limited wages and the absence of the benefits and security available to regular employees.With rising costs of living, education, healthcare and other essential household expenses, the existing wages have become increasingly inadequate to meet even basic requirements. Mr. Shabnam also pointed out that the Government has from time to time, constituted committees and entered into understandings with EJAC regarding the regularization of different categories of temporary workers. However, the absence of a comprehensive and implementable mechanism has resulted in the issue remaining unresolved. Mr. Shabnam urged the Government to initiate a structured, transparent and time-bound process for framing appropriate modalities for their regularization. Mr. Shabnam also emphasized that while the process of regularization is being worked out, the Government should consider immediate enhancement of wages and improvement of service conditions of daily wagers and other temporary workers so that they are able to cope with the present economic circumstances. He said that the Government should also ensure that the issue is examined department-wise and category-wise so that no genuine worker is left out merely because of procedural or administrative complications. Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam said that the workers have demonstrated patience for a very long time and have continued to perform their duties with dedication despite the uncertainty surrounding their future. He expressed hope that the present Government would give the matter the priority it deserves and take concrete steps without any further avoidable delay. He reiterated that EJAC remains committed to pursuing the issue through constitutional, democratic and peaceful means and will continue to engage with the Government and concerned authorities until a fair, comprehensive and lasting solution is reached. ejMr. Shabnam expressed confidence that the Government would honour its commitment and take the necessary administrative and policy measures to bring an end to the prolonged uncertainty faced by thousands of daily wagers and their families across Jammu and Kashmir. These daily wagers have struggled for a long time, and EJAC has always stood with them shoulder to shoulder, in their struggle. EJAC has been, and will continue to be with them until their legitimate rights are secured.
Womens Asia Cup: 'Atmosphere Of Happiness,' Says Shafali After Indias Victory Over Thailand
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Explosive opener Shafali Verma said there is a great atmosphere of happiness within the squad after India got their 2026 Womens Asia Cup campaign off to a winning start with a comfortable 94-run victory over Thailand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Shafali top-scored with a 36-ball 64 as India posted 159/9, despite going from 91/1 to 137/9 in a span of 50 deliveries. Nandni and veteran off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma took three wickets each as India bowled out Thailand for 65 in 16.1 overs. Of course, I think, giving my best for the team, obviously, it feels very good. Along with that, we know that within the team, there is a greater atmosphere of happiness.

I am pretty sure she is always someone who is working hard every day. Shafali further praised Nandni for her spell, but felt more improvements can be made when they take on Hong Kong China on Thursday. Talking about Nandni, the way she is bowling, she really works hard; we all really work hard, and it is just praising what she is bowling, and I am so happy the way she is doing her thing. We will have to get used to the conditions as a batting unit. Talking about our bowling unit, they bowled really well, and there were things where we have to improve. I am pretty sure our bowling coach will fill those areas. Just talking about the Thailand team, the way they improved, I am so happy that women's cricket is improving. They are so cute, and we are just happy to play with them. Shafali further praised Nandni for her spell, but felt more improvements can be made when they take on Hong Kong China on Thursday.
