'Sit Quietly And Clap: Samson On Early Struggles At T20 WC
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has revealed how he came to terms with missing out on the spot in India's XI at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 after a disappointing series against New Zealand, saying he knew his hopes were over once Ishan Kishan's explosive performances pushed him ahead in the selection race. Reflecting on the turning point in his international career, Samson admitted he could see the selectors' thinking change as Kishan grabbed his opportunity. After that, Ishan came in, and his story was completely different. He wasn't even in the team. He won Jharkhand the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy almost single-handedly, then came into the Indian team and was batting on a different level altogether. I could clearly see that Ishan was moving above me in the pecking order, Samson told JioStar. Kishan capitalised on his opportunity with a string of impactful innings, while Samson endured a lean run in the five-match series, leaving the Kerala batter convinced that the race for a World Cup berth had effectively ended. You get five matches and score 24, 6, 6, 10 and 0, then another guy comes in, scores 70-odd straightaway, gets a hundred later in the series, and the next match is directly in the T20 World Cup. Anyone would prefer an in-form batter. It was clear that the World Cup was done for me. Whatever had to happen had happened, and the only thing I could do was sit quietly and clap, he added. The 31-year-old said the disappointment was particularly painful because it came just when he believed he had finally established himself in India's T20I setup after a remarkable run of form. That's the spice of being an Indian cricketer, actually. Everything can change in a single day. The same thing happened with me as well. When I was given those seven matches, I don't think even I would have imagined that I would score three hundreds in those seven games, he expressed. Samson said that success had convinced many that his place in the side was secure, but he never allowed himself to think that way. The wicketkeeper-batter also admitted that the setback taught him an important lesson about balancing preparation with mental well-being. That's the spice of being an Indian cricketer, actually. Everything can change in a single day. The same thing happened with me as well. When I was given those seven matches, I don't think even I would have imagined that I would score three hundreds in those seven games, he expressed. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Samson revealed that it was during this difficult phase that he realised relentless practice alone was not the answer, as he said, I realised I was overdoing it, and my wife was right, being happy and mentally in a good space is much more important than putting in hours and hours of practice. The New Zealand series taught me that. Article Source: IANS

Jammu, Jul 20:The Jammu and Kashmir Accredited Journalists Association (JKAJA) has urged the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, to take immediate steps to establish a comprehensive social security framework for working and retired journalists by implementing a Journalists Welfare Fund Scheme. The Association also urged the Chief Minister to introduce a monthly pension scheme, constitute a Jammu and Kashmir Media Commission and also constitute a fresh accreditation committee. In a statement issued here on Monday, July 20, Ashwani Kumar, president of the Jammu and Kashmir Accredited Journalists Association (affiliated to Press Association, New Delhi), said, While journalists have dedicated their lives to strengthening democracy and serving society through fearless reporting and public service, a large number of media professionals, particularly retirees, continue to face severe financial hardship, health challenges and institutional neglect. He said journalism was not merely a profession but one of the fundamental pillars of a constitutional democracy. A free and independent press was indispensable to an informed citizenry, and safeguarding the welfare of journalists was essential for preserving press freedom and democratic values, he asserted. Ashwani Kumar said that the condition of retired journalists in Jammu and Kashmir was deeply concerning. Once they leave active employment, many are left without any structured pension, health insurance or institutional support. Unlike several other professions that provide retirement security, senior journalists often struggle with declining incomes, rising medical expenses, family responsibilities and age-related health problems, he pointed out. JKAJA president further expressed concern that, in recent years, journalists increasingly faced legal intimidation, harassment and professional insecurity while performing their constitutional duty of reporting in the public interest. Such circumstances, he said, made it imperative for the government to create an institutional mechanism to protect the dignity, welfare and security of media professionals. The Association has appealed to the Chief Minister to introduce a State Journalists' Pension Scheme with a minimum monthly pension of Rs 20,000 for retired accredited and working journalists to ensure financial security and a life of dignity. It has also sought inclusion of journalists in a subsidised government healthcare scheme on the lines of the MEDISEP model implemented in Kerala, enabling retired journalists and their spouses to access affordable medical treatment. The Association has further demanded the establishment of a Jammu and Kashmir Journalists Welfare Fund to provide financial assistance during medical emergencies, housing distress and other unforeseen hardships. This scheme was prepared during Mehbooba Mufti government and Rs 2 Cr were sanctioned by the then government but later on the government fell. To create a sustainable corpus for the fund, it has suggested earmarking 10 per cent of the government advertisement budget released through the Information Department until media organisations establish comprehensive social security mechanisms for their employees. Ashwani Kumar also urged the government to constitute a Jammu and Kashmir Media Commission, headed by a retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India, on the pattern of judicial wage boards. The proposed Commission should include representatives of journalists, retired media professionals, media managements and the government to undertake a comprehensive study of the structural challenges confronting the media sector and recommend long-term policy reforms, including social security measures for journalists. He said that despite the vital contribution made by journalists to democratic governance and public accountability, there had been little institutional effort to study or address the hardships faced by retired media professionals. The continued neglect of journalists after retirement reflects poorly on our collective commitment to democratic values and freedom of the press. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir must act decisively to ensure that those who devoted their lives to public service are able to live with dignity, security and respect, Ashwani Kumar added.

XtractPro is Building the Seating Systems that will Transform India's Sports Infrastructure
India is in the middle of the infrastructure boom. New cricket stadiums are being approved across Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Khelo India complexes are coming up in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Every school is now expected to have a multi-sport facility. But amid the concrete, the synthetic turfs, and the smart lighting, there is one critical question no one is asking loudly enough: where does India sit? XtractPro Seating has an answer. The India-based manufacturer of telescopic seating systems is building the infrastructure that sits at the intersection of sports, education, and architecture. From school auditoriums in smaller cities to indoor arenas in metros, XtractPro is engineering the seating that turns an empty hall into a venue, a venue into an experience, and an experience into a community. From auditoriums to arenas, XtractPro's seating systems are laying the groundwork for India's sports infrastructure future "India is not just building stadiums. India is building a sporting culture. And this culture needs a place to sit," XtractPro Seating Pvt. Ltd. From assembly hall to arena: the XtractPro transformation The challenge facing India's institutional venues is not space — it is wasted space. A school that builds a fixed-seating auditorium locks that hall into one function. A sports complex that installs permanent bleachers eliminates its own flexibility. An institution pays to build a large space and then uses it at 30% of its potential. XtractPro's retractable seating systems change that equation fundamentally. When the seating is deployed, it is a stadium. When it retracts, it is an event space. On Monday, a school holds its annual day. On Friday, the same hall hosts a district-level badminton tournament. On Saturday, it becomes a convocation hall. No second space. No second investment. The seats that will define india's sporting decade India's ambition to become a global sporting hub — to host international events, to develop Olympic talent, to build communities around sport — will ultimately be realised not just in what gets built, but in how it gets used. Infrastructure that cannot adapt is infrastructure that gets underused. And in a country of India's scale, underused infrastructure is a national cost. XtractPro Seating is making a straightforward bet: that India's institutions will choose smart over static, flexible over fixed, and homegrown over imported. One venue at a time. About XtractPro Seating Pvt. Ltd. XtractPro Seating Pvt. Ltd. is India's premier manufacturer of telescopic seating systems, purpose-built for schools, colleges, sports arenas, auditoriums, and multipurpose institutional venues. With a deep understanding of Indian spatial constraints, regulatory standards, and institutional needs, XtractPro designs and delivers seating infrastructure that transforms single-use halls into high-performance, multi-purpose venues. Rooted in the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission, XtractPro brings world-class engineering to India's fast-growing institutional and sports infrastructure sector.
