Village Talent Will Now Get A Platform: Ramandeep Hails Sher-e-Punjab T20 League
Punjab T20 League: Cricketer Ramandeep Singh believes the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will provide a much-needed platform for talented cricketers from villages across the state, allowing them to showcase their abilities in front of a wider audience. Speaking on the sidelines of the player auction for the inaugural Sher-e-Punjab T20 League in Chandigarh on Sunday, Ramandeep said the league would help bridge the gap between emerging players at the grassroots level and the wider cricketing audience. Earlier, I think, the talent did not get a chance to come on TV because only the IPL and international-level cricket were telecast. Now, with the league initiative started by Punjab Cricket, we are very thankful to the Punjab government and especially the PCA, because they have given us this platform where talent from the villages will be seen on TV, Ramandeep told reporters. The player auction is currently underway at a hotel in Chandigarh, with more than 450 cricketers going under the hammer for six franchises. Each team has a purse of Rs 45 lakh for the auction. The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will feature six teams and is scheduled to be played from August 30 to September 13 at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali. Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) president Amarjit Singh Mehta said the league was the fulfilment of a vision to take sport to every part of the state. This league was the dream of our Chief Minister. He wanted to build a big league for Punjab, and his dream is going to come true today. He wanted to bring sports to every village in Punjab, Mehta said. The entire Punjab Cricket Association team worked together to bring this league to this level. There are six teams in the league, featuring marquee players, icon players and district players. The opening ceremony will be held on August 30 and the closing ceremony on September 13, he added. Indian Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh, Ramandeep Singh and young pacer Gurnoor Brar have been named the marquee players for the six franchises.

Amit Uniyal Appointed Punjab Mens Head Coach As PCA Overhauls Coaching Staff
Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy: In a major administrative shake-up ahead of the 2026/27 domestic season, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) has overhauled its senior men's coaching staff and named former left-arm seamer Amit Uniyal as the new head coach in place of Sandeep Sharma. Alongside Uniyal, the PCA appointed TP Singh as the batting coach, Harmeet Singh as the bowling coach, and Manish Sharma as the fielding coach. They replace Uday Kaul, Gagandeep Singh, and Sandeep Sanwal, respectively. Uniyal, who represented Punjab in 29 First-Class and 46 List A matches, represented Rajasthan Royals in 2009 IPL. He now becomes Punjab's fourth head coach in four seasons following short stints by Aavishkar Salvi, Wasim Jaffer, and Sandeep Sharma. The overhaul comes on the back of Punjab's persistent struggles in red-ball cricket. While the side lifted the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in 2023/24, their Ranji Trophy record has been dismal, securing just three wins against ten losses across the last three seasons. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket. But we have the potential, we have the talent, all we need is to play as a unit. We want to do better in red-ball cricket this time, and for that, you need bowlers who can take 20 wickets. So we will work towards that, Uniyal was quoted as saying by Cricinfo on Saturday. Since the end of his playing days, Uniyal has been part of various coaching set-ups and selection committees for Chandigarh. He was their assistant coach in the 2020/21 season and then chairman of selectors last season. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket.

The visit of Uzbekistans Foreign Minister, Saidov Bakhtiyor, to India earlier this week provides an opportunity to not only assess the current interaction between India and Uzbekistan but also of this country with the Central Asian Republics (CARs). It has been Indias constant desire to enhance its ties with these states after they were formed with the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. These states too have reciprocated this interest. Geographical realities have, however, prevented the growth in Indias relations with the region. India and the CARs best access to each other is via the land route. Here Pakistan has denied India access to Afghanistan via the Punjab route. Besides, the unsettled conditions that have continued to prevail in Afghanistan have also prevented the development of direct land connectivity between India and the CARs. After their formation the CARs have had to deal with the reality of the great leap made by China. Global relations have been transformed because of the rise of China which has been manifest in the past three decades. China has laid great emphasis in knitting the CARs region with itself through the development of connectivity projects. Its vehicle for this purpose has been its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Naturally the CARs want to gain what they can from their relations with China. In addition to China there is one other geopolitical reality for the CARs. This relates to Russia which continues to have residual influence in these states. As the Sino-US rivalry is developing and especially since the Ukraine war which began in 2022 Russia and China have come closer to each other. In respect of the CARs they are acting in tandem to maintain their individual and joint interests in the region. This requires that they contain US moves in the region. One way of doing so is the Shanghai Cooperation Council (SCO) which is one mechanism for the purpose of integrating the interests of the CARs with China and Russia. This is notwithstanding the fact that India is also a member of the organisation. Before proceeding further a brief look at one other facet of the CAR region. The two great powers in the medieval period, apart from the Mughals in India, were the Ottomans and Safavids. The Ottomans and the Safavids influence spread to what are now the CARs. This can be witnessed in the languages of the CARs. The area stretching from northern Afghanistan to Tajikistan is dominated by Persian in its different dialects. Except Tajikistan the rest of the CARs speak forms of the Turkish language. Naturally as all of them were part of the Russian empire and later the Soviet Union a knowledge of the Russian language continues in them. Turkey has always wished to cultivate its influence in the Turkic speaking CARs and has worked hard to extend it since they came into being. It is being challenged by Iran though its real influence is mainly in the Persian speaking areas. This is the geopolitical situation confronting the CARs. Amidst it these states want to, as noted earlier, want to build ties with India despite the problems of connectivity. One reason for this lies in the deep old historical connection between India and some of the CARs in particular such as Uzbekistan. During his meeting with Saidov Bakhtiyor External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar correctly noted Now, we in India very much consider Uzbekistan to be a part of our extended neighbourhood, and there has always been a continuous exchange of people, of ideas, of goods in both directions. We share a very long historical and cultural linkage as well. In ancient times this continuous exchange in both directions was provided by Buddhism which went across the Hindukush and crossed the Amu and Syr Dariyas and influenced the region and from there went to China. That was what went from India. From the other direction came the Mughals. Baburs home was in the Ferghana valley formed by the Syr Darya. His hometown was in what is now Uzbekistan though parts of the Ferghana valley are also in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Despite ideological shifts, historical memory should not be recalled selectively. Moving from ancient and medieval times to the present era Jaishankar observed In more modern times, we have had regular interaction at political levels, between our systems at an institutional level, and I am very glad to see that there has been a steady momentum in our ties. Our leadership has maintained very close contact, and my Prime Minister has a very special regard for your President. Uzbekistans President is Shavkat Mirziyoyev who has been in office since 2016. Prime Minister Narendra Modi places great emphasis on personal ties in the conduct of foreign policy. Hence, what Jaishankar noted is a good augury for the development of India-Uzbek relations. On the specifics of the areas where the two countries can cooperate Jaishankar stated our bilateral relations over the years have expanded and today they really span very diverse range of domains from construction and digital to energy, health, education, we want to take it into mining, and we have a trade today of close to a billion dollars, we definitely think that that number should go up. Uzbekistan is keen for Indian participation in its mining sector. Its Investment Minister Laziz Udratov said in Delhi recently that his country had gold, copper, uranium, critical minerals and rare earths. It was looking for, he implied, Indias participation especially in the processing of steel and copper and rare earths. Indias needs for rare earths will grow and that is one area it should seriously look at in Uzbekistan.
