Sooryavanshi To Get A Separate Dressing Room During India's T20I Tour Of England
Each County Safeguarding Officer: In a rare move, teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will use a separate dressing room compared to his India teammates during the upcoming five-match T20I series in England, starting in Durham on July 1, to comply with mandatory child safeguarding policies. The protocol for Sooryavanshi is aligned with the rigorous under-16 protective guidelines laid down by both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). As per the norms, Sooryavanshi is permitted inside the main Indian team dressing room for tactical team meetings, strategy discussions, and match-day interactions. But he will be using the separate dressing room for changing his clothes across all five T20I game venues. This is an ICC event, with their safeguarding procedures active as they have jurisdiction. A safeguarding concern occurring during the event may (in some circumstances) be managed by the ICC. In addition to this, the ECB Safe Hands policy applies at all times. The Cricket Regulator is in contact with the Team Liaison Officer (TLO) for the Indian team to discuss requirements and expectations for the player while he is in the UK, the ECB was quoted as saying in 'The Guardian' on Wednesday. Sooryavanshis parents will accompany him throughout the United Kingdom tour, and they will reside in the official team hotels. Devajit Saikia, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), had previously said that it would fully sponsor the travel and accommodation expenses of the teenage left-handed batters parents. Each County Safeguarding Officer for the relevant cricket venue is also working closely with the Team Liaison Officer to ensure venue protocols and arrangements (specifically changing room environments) are understood and adhered to. This is conducted via safeguarding risk assessments. It is our understanding that the players parents will be travelling with him at all times. They are staying in the same hotel, which is outside of usual protocol, but agreed on this occasion due to his age. This additional measure provides us with further confidence that he has family members who can provide the additional level of support and care, added the ECB. Each County Safeguarding Officer for the relevant cricket venue is also working closely with the Team Liaison Officer to ensure venue protocols and arrangements (specifically changing room environments) are understood and adhered to. This is conducted via safeguarding risk assessments.

In a time when speed defines value and algorithms shape taste, Jaypore, from the house of Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail, invites audiences to pause and listen. With ‘Karigari Ki Kahani: Keepers of the Weave’ campaign, Jaypore launches a deeply evocative brand film that brings together some of India’s most compelling women voices across craft, culture, journalism and conscious entrepreneurship. The campaign features mindful writer Karuna Ezara Parikh, creative director and stylist Devanshi Tuli, fashion editor Praachi Raniwala, singer and songwriter Lothika Jha, and Alka Sharma, who runs a traditional Dabu craft unit rooted in Rajasthan’s rich handicraft traditions. Jaypore’s Karigari Ki Kahani Campaign More than a celebration, ‘Karigari Ki Kahani’ is a conversation about craft as memory, identity, labour and legacy. Through intimate reflections, women revisit the moments that first connected them to craft – not as a commodity, but as an inheritance. Whether through the scent of a grandmother’s sari or the ritual of watching a Dabu block print dry in the sun, the film reveals craft as a lived experience shaped by touch and emotion. But it is not a story rooted in nostalgia alone. Talking about the campaign, Sooraj Bhat, Chief Executive Officer, Premium Ethnic Business, ABFRL, said, “Karigari Ki Kahani is our attempt to shift the conversation around Indian craft from consumption to deeper connection . We wanted to create a platform that honours not just the beauty of the handmade, but also the people, memories and lived experiences behind it. At Jaypore, we have always believed that craft is a way of seeing the world. Today, as we work with 2,500+ craft families across 40+ craft clusters and celebrate 39 unique crafts from across India, our commitment remains rooted in preserving and evolving these living traditions for the modern woman, someone who values meaning, individuality and cultural connection in the way she lives, dresses and expresses herself. With Karigari Ki Kahani, we wanted to move beyond simply showcasing craft to truly listening – to the artisans who keep it alive and to the modern women who have carried it, questioned it and continue to shape its future.” At the same time, the campaign asks a pressing question: what does craft mean in an age of speed and scale? By centring the voices of artisans, the film reframes them as authors of culture rather than invisible contributors to a supply chain. It explores the delicate balance between preserving tradition and meeting contemporary demands, while underscoring the need for greater recognition, authorship and equitable value within craft ecosystems. One of the campaign’s key themes is the evolving relationship between designers and artisans. More than a source of inspiration, the craft is presented as a process of collaboration. Through ‘ Karigari Ki Kahani’ , Jaypore advocates for a future in which designers work alongside craft communities as partners – building relationships rooted in mutual respect, dialogue and long-term commitment. The film also spotlights a new generation of makers who are redefining how craft is seen and shared. By embracing digital platforms and direct-to-consumer storytelling, these artisans are documenting their processes, building communities and reclaiming ownership of their narratives. Conceived as more than a one-time campaign, 'Karigari Ki Kahani’ will continue through digital storytelling, community conversations and immersive experiences across Jaypore’s 47 stores. Together, these stories form a living archive that aims to foster deeper engagement with craft and strengthen the connection between karigars and the people who wear their work. www.instagram.com/reel/DZjfNVkB-kV/?igsh=dTAwdG01MWxhenhy Experience Partner: Club Jolie’s, Century Mills, Worli, Mumbai

Tendulkar made his India debut in 1989 against Pakistan at the age of 16 years and 205 days, making him the youngest Indian player ever to feature in a senior international cricket match.

TG20 Season 1: Tilak Varmas Century Outshines Aman Raos Onslaught, Leads Medak Falcons To 3-wkt Win
Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Medak Falcons' captain Tilak Varma led from the front as his side pulled off a heist to chase down 259 against Warangal Warriors and clinch a three-wicket win in Match 3 of the Hyderabad Cricket Associations TG20 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday. Warriors captain Aman Rao Perala set the tone for the high-scoring contest with his blazing 32-ball century, scoring 142 in 48 balls to help his side post a daunting target of 259. In reply, Tilaks unbeaten 136, which included 14 fours and 8 sixes, along with a crucial cameo from Vikram Naik (27 off 12), led the Falcons home after they were 190/6 in the 15th over, helping them get over the line with two balls to spare. Warangal Warriors got off to a flying start courtesy Aman, who came out all guns blazing and raced to a scintillating 17-ball half-century. Alongside Harshit Choudhary, he put the Medak Falcons bowlers under immense pressure from the outset, with the pair powering the Warriors to 101/0 in the powerplay the highest powerplay score of the tournament so far. The opening duo continued to pile on the runs, adding 133 for the first wicket before N Surya Teja finally provided the breakthrough by dismissing Harshit for a brisk 35 off 23 balls in the ninth over. By then, however, the foundation for a massive total had already been laid. Aman showed no signs of slowing down after his partner's departure, continuing his assault with a range of clean and powerful strokes all around the ground. The opener went on to become the first batter to score a century in the Sreenidhi University TG20, reaching the landmark in just 32 deliveries and producing one of the most memorable knocks of the tournament so far. The 22-year-old, who was picked by the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026, anchored the Warriors to 146/1 at the halfway stage of the innings. His side amassed 200 in the 14th over before Rahul Kunta bagged the crucial wicket of Aman for the Falcons. That brought an end to his 142-run marathon knock off 48 balls, which included 12 fours and 13 sixes. Falcons managed to contain the damage towards the backend of the innings with Tilak Varma and Madhukar Manne chipping in with a couple of wickets between them. Despite that, Murugan Abhisheks quickfire 15-ball 32 guided Warriors to a daunting total of 258/7. The run chase began in an exhilarating manner. Despite conceding 17 runs, Anirudh Srivatsa provided the early breakthrough for his side by dismissing Naman Agarwal (12 off 4) in the first over. Tilak got off the blocks quickly to ensure that the Falcons kept up with the required run rate as they scored fifty in the fourth over. Although Shrunjith Reddy (25 off 12) was run out in the last over of the powerplay, Falcons amassed 85/2. The Team India T20I vice-captain continued to march on, registering his half-century in 22 balls to help his side past the 100-run mark in eight overs. Even though Shaunak Kulkarni got the better of Ravi Teja in the ninth over, Falcons stayed in the hunt. Their run chase was derailed as they lost three wickets in as many overs, finding themselves at 190/6 in the fifteenth over. With 65 runs needed off the last five overs, Tilak breezed to his century in 42 balls and stitched a 58-run partnership alongside Vikram to keep Falcons alive. Vikram (27 off 12) fell in the penultimate over; his cameo proved to be valuable. With the game coming down to the wire, Tilak stood tall to take the game deep. With 20 needed off the last couple of overs and only three wickets in hand, he guided his side home with an unbeaten 136 off 56 balls in a high-scoring thriller, as they chased down 259 with two balls to spare. Their run chase was derailed as they lost three wickets in as many overs, finding themselves at 190/6 in the fifteenth over.

Bukhari Discusses Political Situation, Public Concerns with LG
Srinagar, June 21: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at the Lok Bhavan in Srinagar to discuss the prevailing political situation, besides raising important public issues and grievances. During the meeting, Bukhari raised a range of issues and problems that people are grappling with and urged the LG to ensure these issues are promptly addressed. They also deliberated on the prevailing political and security situation in Jammu and Kashmir According to a press release issued here, Apni Party President also apprised the LG of the official neglect towards several key developmental issues, affecting the people. He said that residents from various parts of Srinagar city have complained about the inadequate supply of drinking water, while farmers in several areas across the Valley are facing a shortage of irrigation water for their paddy fields. Mr Bukhari expressed concern that the departments and officials responsible for addressing these issues do not appear to be giving them the attention they deserve. As a result, people are being forced to suffer due to these persistent shortcomings, which continue to affect their daily lives and livelihoods. He also raised the issue of Kashmiri mutton traders who are allegedly being subjected to undue charges while transporting livestock to Jammu and Kashmir. He said that livestock-carrying vehicles entering Jammu and Kashmir through Punjab are being charged substantial fees from 15 to 20 thousand rupees at the Simbu and Madhopur checkpoints. He pointed out that these charges are unjustified and not applicable in the case of J&K mutton traders, as they do not procure livestock from Punjab. Instead, they buy their livestock from states such as Haryana, Rajasthan, and Delhi. Mr. Bukhari said that these unwarranted charges ultimately contribute to price inflation, placing an additional burden on ordinary consumers in Jammu and Kashmir. He requested the intervention of the LG to put an end to this practice. In response, the LG assured Mr. Bukhari that he would take up the matter with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and make efforts to ensure that the prevailing practice of fee collection is discontinued. Mr. Bukhari thanked the LG for the decision to reopen the historic Naranag Temple in central Kashmirs Ganderbal district for devotees and tourists. At the same time, he requested the LG to consider reopening other tourist destinations and attractions that were closed following the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam last year. Responding to the request, the LG said that the administration is regularly reviewing the security situation and assured Bukhari that all presently closed tourist destinations would be eventually reopened in a phased manner. Bukhari also raised concerns about the developmental deficit, particularly in Srinagar city. He stressed the urgent need for the repair and reconstruction of roads, lanes, and by-lanes across various city areas, saying that the poor condition of the infrastructure is causing inconvenience to residents and requires immediate attention from the administration. Apni Party President also apprised the LG of the allegations regarding backdoor appointments, and said that whenever such allegations surface, they create a sense of frustration and disappointment among the youth, who look towards transparent and merit-based recruitment processes. The LG reiterated his commitment to resolving public grievances and taking appropriate measures to ensure that the concerns highlighted by Bukhari receive the attention they deserve.

Some of India's greatest champions are born far from the spotlight. They emerge from villages, mountains and communities where resources may be limited, but determination knows no boundaries. Lakshya Scholar Puja Tomar; Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson & Trustee, M3M Foundation, with Lakshya Scholar Tenzin Dolma Long before medals are won and records are broken, these athletes battle circumstances, shoulder responsibilities and continue to pursue excellence with unwavering resolve. Recognising the extraordinary potential hidden within India's grassroots, M3M Foundation launched Lakshya to ensure that talent is supported, aspirations are nurtured and deserving athletes receive the opportunity to represent the nation with pride. One such champion is Tenzin Dolma, an ultra-runner from the remote Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh and a beneficiary of M3M Foundation's Lakshya Programme. Recently, Tenzin brought pride to the nation at the IAU Asian-Oceania 24 Hours Championship in Japan, where she broke both India's 12-hour and 24-hour National Records and helped the Indian Women's Team secure the Bronze Medal. For a woman who lost her parents at a young age, became a mother in her teens and supported her family through a modest tea stall, the achievement represents far more than a sporting milestone - it is a story of resilience, perseverance and hope. Tenzin's journey reflects the larger vision of Lakshya, M3M Foundation's flagship sports initiative envisioned under the leadership of Dr. Payal Kanodia, Chairperson and Trustee, M3M Foundation, who herself is an International Kettlebell Champion. Having experienced the demands of competitive sport firsthand, Dr. Kanodia believes that talent should never be limited by geography or financial circumstances. Today, Lakshya supports more than 100 scholars across 11 states, including Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir. The programme's impact extends across 36 sporting disciplines, from Athletics and Boxing to Golf, Gymnastics, Para Sports and Kettlebell Lifting, creating opportunities for talented athletes who otherwise may never have received access to structured support. Among them is Puja Tomar, one of India's leading mixed martial artists and another Lakshya Scholar. Hailing from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, Puja overcame personal and financial hardships to pursue combat sports and went on to script history by becoming the first Indian woman to register a victory in the UFC. Her journey, much like Tenzin's, demonstrates the extraordinary potential that exists within India's grassroots communities. The achievements of Lakshya scholars are increasingly being reflected on podiums across the world. Collectively, athletes supported by the programme have secured 390 medals, including 77 international medals, reinforcing the Foundation's commitment to strengthening India's sporting ecosystem from the grassroots upwards. Speaking about the Foundation's vision, Dr. Payal Kanodia said, " As an athlete myself, I understand the sacrifices, discipline and perseverance that excellence demands. Through Lakshya, our endeavour is to ensure that deserving sportspersons receive the opportunities and support they need to realise their full potential. Athletes like Tenzin Dolma and Puja Tomar remind us that some of India's greatest champions emerge from the most challenging circumstances ." For M3M Foundation, Lakshya is not merely about supporting athletes. It is about believing in dreams before the world recognises them and ensuring that talent from every corner of India gets an opportunity to make the nation proud. About M3M Foundation M3M Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the M3M Group, working across education, health, livelihoods, sports, and environment. With a reach across 22 states and over 1,300 villages, the Foundation has positively impacted more than 5 million lives, driven by a vision of inclusive, sustainable, and transformative nation building.
