Rob Key Urges 'World-Class' Bowler Ollie Robinson To Make England Recall Count
England cricket chief Rob Key highlighted Ollie Robinson's eye-catching statistics after recalling the seamer for the first Test against New Zealand following two years in the international wilderness. The 32-year-old Robinson has a superb record in five-day cricket, with 76 wickets at a miserly average of 22.92 in just 20 appearances. The Sussex bowler, however, has not played for England since February 2024 because of concerns over his fitness and ability to maintain his top speed over long spells. But England need a new-ball spearhead at Lord's following the retirements of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes and the absence of express quick Jofra Archer. Archer is unavailable for the first Test, which starts in London on June 4, due to Indian Premier League commitments, meaning Robinson could find himself leading England's attack. I think I said when we left him out the last time, to him and publicly, that Ollie Robinson, when he's fit and bowling at a decent pace for him, which is around 82, 83 miles per hour, he is world-class, said Key. When you look at his record, he is one of the few bowlers right up there statistically in all the bowlers globally of all time, he added Wednesday after announcing England's squad for the first Test at Lord's. Key, a former England batsman, said Robinson, now the Sussex captain, had been monitored closely and appeared to be firing on all cylinders. Ollie has started the summer really well, and even the other day he said, 'what do I need to do?', said Key. First of all, you need to show that you can maintain your skill, your speed throughout the game. That's what we require, and that's what he's done. Key said the absence of the injury-prone Archer due to his commitments with the Rajasthan Royals, was a sign of the times, with players juggling commitments across the globe. When Jofra comes back from the IPL and touch wood has played some cricket going into it, then he adds to an already strong attack, he said. The New Zealand series opener will be England's first Test match since an embarrassing 4-1 Ashes defeat. England, who remain under the leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, a former New Zealand captain, were heavily criticised for an overly aggressive approach in Australia. They have hinted at a more balanced approach to Test cricket ahead of the upcoming three-match series, acknowledging the need to be less gung-ho in certain situations. Key said he wanted Emilio Gay, set to make his Test debut at Lord's in place of dropped opener Zak Crawley, and England's record run-scorer Joe Root to stay true to themselves. What we want is to have players to be able to go out there and play their best game, said Key. It doesn't mean there's one way of playing where you're looking to play shots.

Kashmirs Almond Industry Needs a Revival
Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley, is the largest producer, accounting for over 90% of Indias almond production DR MEHRA-UD-DIN SHEIKH | DR MOHAMMED TAUSEEF ALI Almonds (Prunus amygdalus) are often called nuts, but they are actually drupes, consisting of an outer fleshy part called a hull, a hard shell, and an inner seed that is often referred to as a kernel. Almonds are believed to be native to the Mediterranean and Central to Western Asia. Almonds belong to the family of Rosaceae and genus Prunus. Ripe almonds look like large green fruits and often split open by themselves, exposing the hard shell covering the seed, which is the edible part. Almonds are of two types, depending on the nature of the tree. Sweet Almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis) Sweet almond trees are grown for their edible seed. (ii) Bitter Almonds (Prunus amygdalus var. amara)bitter almonds are grown for the bitter almond oil. Almonds are rich sources of protein, fibre, vitamin E, antioxidants, calcium, copper, magnesium and riboflavin. They are also a source of iron, potassium, zinc and the B vitamins niacin, thiamine and folate. A 30-gram serving has 13 g of healthy unsaturated fats and 1 g of saturated fat. Per 30-gram serving, almonds boast more vitamin E (7.7 mg), calcium (80 mg) and riboflavin (0.3 mg) than any other nut. Almonds also provide 6 grams of plant protein per 30-gram serving. Almonds are naturally salt-free/sodium-free and low in sugars. Almonds are incredibly versatile in food preparation, finding their place in both sweet and savoury dishes. They can be enjoyed raw, roasted, or processed into various forms like almond flour, almond butter, or almond milk. Almonds are used as a snack, a topping, or an ingredient in everything from cookies, chocolates, candies, cakes, stir-fries, ice creams, etc. Almond cultivation in India is primarily concentrated in the mountainous regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley, is the largest producer, accounting for over 90% of Indias almond production. Other states, such as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, are also looking into growing almonds in some of their best areas, but their contributions are very small. Almonds require a climate with slightly hot summer temperatures ranging from 30 to 35C and cool winters for plant growth and kernel filling. Unopened blossoms shall withstand cold up to -2.2C, but blossoms at the petal fall stage are damaged at 0.50C to -1.1C. The blossoms can withstand temperatures ranging from -2.2C to -3.3C for a short time, but if low temperatures continue for long hours, they get damaged easily. It has a low winter chilling requirement of about 300 to 600 hours at or below 7C. Because of this low chilling requirement (or short rest period) and the relatively low amount of heat, it brings the trees earlier into bloom; therefore, the almond is generally the earliest deciduous fruit or nut tree to flower, hence extremely vulnerable to frost injury where moderately late-spring frosts prevail. Almonds need ample rainfall or irrigation water for maximum production of well-filled almond nuts. The almond tree has been successfully grown on a wide range of soils; however, sandy loams are best. It is a deeply rooted tree, and its performance is better in deep, fertile, and well-drained soils. Almond trees have high N and P requirements. International and National scenario The area under almonds in the world is 2.3 mha, whereas production is 3.5 million tonnes. In this, the USA is the largest contributor in production with 1.79 million tonnes, followed by Spain, Australia, Turkey, Morocco, Syria and so on (FAOSTAT, 2025). Therefore, the USA produces 51.14% of the worlds almond production in 2025. The California region of the USA dominates almond production. At the national level, the area under almond is 10150 ha, and production is 11280 tonnes (National Horticulture data, 2021), for which J&K contributes dominantly over 90% and on which the Kashmir Valley contributes almost 99%. J&K and Himachal Pradesh have an area of 4.68 and 5.48 ha and production of 1.35 and 9.93 MT and productivity (t/ha) of 0.29 and 1.81, respectively (National Horticulture data, 2021). The almond cultivation in the valley is mainly in the districts of Pulwama, Budgam, Srinagar, Baramulla and Srinagar, where production exceeds 552 tonnes annually. There are vast stretches of almond plantation in these areas, and most of them are on highlands locally called karewas. The altitude of the Kashmir Valley varies across areas, ranging from 1500 to 1850 m amsl. The mean annual precipitation of the Kashmir Valley is around 1000 mm. Pulwama is the leading producer of almonds in the Union Territory (UT), with a production of 6468 metric tonnes (MT) in 202122, followed by Budgam (1940 MT), Baramulla (553 MT) and Srinagar (741 MT). Therefore, almost all of the production comes from the Kashmir Valley. The total area under UT is 5457 hectares (ha), and production is 9811 MT (Table). The figure indicates that almond production in J&K is experiencing an overall declining trend. The land under almond cultivation was recorded as 17247 ha (2001-02), which has now reduced to 5457 ha (2021-22). J&K UT has lost a whopping 11,790 hectares of land that used to be under almond cultivation. The decline in the area under almond cultivation in the UT during 2014 and 2015 was mainly attributed to the incessant rainfall in September 2014, which caused damage to almond orchards due to waterlogging on Karewas. Table: District wise Area and production of Almonds in Jammu and Kashmir Districts Almonds Area (ha) Production (MT) Pulwama 3538 6468 Budgam 1249 1940 Srinagar 322 741 Baramulla 258 553 Anantnag 11 11 Shopian 7 13 Ganderbal 4 9 Bandipora 2 4 Kulgam 19 65 Kupwara 1 0 Kathua 10 6 Doda 24 1 Udhampur 12 0 Total 5457 9811 Source: Directorate of Horticulture (2021-22) (Data source: Research paper of Wani et al., 2018, citing data of Directorate of Horticulture, J&K.)

Prince Gill Fires Back in Style: Runs, Rate and Consistency in IPL 2026
Shubman Gills brilliant 84 on 9th May powered Gujarat Titans to a dominant win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Shubman Gill, alongside Sai Sudharsan (55), laid the foundation with a superb 118-run opening partnership as Gujarat posted a season-high and match-winning 229/4 and then dismissed the hosts for 152 in 16.3 overs. This was GTs fourth successive win, which lifted them to 14 points alongside Sunrises Hyderabad at the top of the standings and strengthened their playoff hopes. The most noteworthy aspect of the win was Gills fluent 44-ball 84, with nine fours and three sixes, registering his fourth half-century of the season. Shubman Gill, in IPL 2026, is leaving no stone unturned in giving a fitting reply to all his detractors who were almost unanimous in their T20 verdict against him, terming that playing modern T20 is not his cup of tea. He was dropped from India's T20 WC squad, but this shifted his focus towards a quicker batting approach and impressive performance in IPL 2026. No doubt, GTs mid-season show cannot be attributed to Shubman Gill alone, but no one can deny that he has played a dominating role. He tops in contribution of a batsman in team runs in this IPL and his contribution stands at 27.8% of team runs, with +12 SR in comparison to a team. Let us look at some more facts: His IPL 2026 performance: 462 runs in 10 innings @ 46.20 with an SR of 160.42, including 4 fifties. Only H Klaasen (SRH- 494), Abhishek Sharma (SRH- 475) and KL Raul (DC-468) were ahead of him in run tally but each of them played 11 innings. Gradual improvement in Shubman Gills SR: He is already ahead of his IPL 2024 strike rate of 147.40 and his IPL 2025 strike rate of 155.88. The rise is steady and significant and most importantly, he has come out as the least collapsible opener of the season, and he has made 235 powerplay runs off 135 balls at 174.07. Success story of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan's partnership: The duo has stitched useful and big opening stands in changing the GTs fortune. They are very close to the IPL record of 10 centuries scored by the legendary Royal Challengers Bengaluru pair, Virat Kohli & AB de Villiers (in 76 games). Gill and Sudharsan now have nine century partnerships (in 43 games) together in the IPL, at par with Virat Kohli and Chris Gayles tally (in 59 games) for the second-most century stands by any pair in the IPL. Gill and Sudharsan have also equalled the record for the most century stands for the opening wicket in the IPL, with six 100-plus stands together, matching the SRH duo David Warner & Shikhar Dhawan and Abhishek Sharma & Travis Head. As the season progresses, the race is still open. Overall IPL record: 4328 runs in 125 innings @ 40.07 with an SR of 140.74, including 4 hundreds and 30 fifties. He is the only batter in the IPL to score 4000+ runs with a 40+ average and 140+ SR. 400+ runs in a consecutive season: With 462 runs this season so far, Shubman Gill has now scored 400+ runs for the 7th consecutive season (2020-26) and is at par with Suresh Raina (2008-14) and Shikhar Dhawan (2016-22) and can better the feat next season, continuing the same scoring spree. In 2020440 runs. In 2021478 runs. In 2022, 483 runs. In 2023890 runs. In 2024426 runs. In 2025650 runs. In 2026462* runs. Most IPL Seasons with 400+ runs (seasons played): Shubman Gill has scored 400+ runs in 7 out of 9 IPL seasons played (missed 2018 & 2019 for KKR). Virat Kohli (11 out of 19), Suresh Raina (9 out of 13), David Warner (9 out of 15), Shikhar Dhawan (9 out of 17), Rohit Sharma (9 out of 19) and KL Rahul (8 out of 13) are ahead of Shubman Gill, but no one matches his frequency percentage.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch GT Vs SRH, Know All Details
Indian Premier League: Gujarat Titans will look to continue their strong winning momentum when they host Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 56 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams head into the contest in impressive form, making the encounter a crucial battle in the race for playoff positions. Gujarat Titans currently occupy third place on the points table with seven wins from 11 matches and arrive on the back of four consecutive victories. Their latest triumph came in dominant fashion against the Rajasthan Royals, whom they defeated by 77 runs in Jaipur. Led by Shubman Gill, the Titans have found consistency at a critical stage of the tournament, with both their batting and bowling units clicking together during the winning run. Playing at home will further boost their confidence as they aim to strengthen their position in the top four. Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, have emerged as one of the form teams of the season after recovering strongly from a difficult start. After losing three of their opening four matches, the side led by Pat Cummins has staged a remarkable turnaround, winning six of their last seven games to climb to second place in the standings, just behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The clash also brings together two sides with contrasting head-to-head numbers. Gujarat Titans have largely dominated the rivalry since both teams first met in 2022, winning five of their seven encounters against Hyderabad. Sunrisers have managed just one victory, while one match ended without a result. Their most recent meeting, played in May last year, ended in a Gujarat Titans victory, and the hosts will once again look to make home advantage count in what promises to be one of the key contests of the league stage.

Abhishek Will Have The Best Chance: Graeme Smith Backs SRH Opener To Claim Orange Cap
Indian Premier League: Graeme Smith has tipped Abhishek Sharma to finish as the leading run-scorer in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026, even as Heinrich Klaasen currently sits atop the Orange Cap standings. The former South Africa captain and SA20 League commissioner believes Sharmas role as an opener gives him an edge over Klaasen, who bats in the middle order for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Klaasen has enjoyed a prolific campaign so far, scoring 494 runs at an average of 54.88, while Sharma is close behind with 475 runs at 47.50. However, Smith feels the nature of modern IPL batting conditions and Sharmas position at the top of the order could eventually tilt the race in the left-handers favour. We're seeing a great race for the Orange Cap this season, and despite his struggles in the World Cup and the impressive (Vaibhav) Sooryavanshi, I think Abhishek Sharma will have the best chance. Those at the top of the order always have a longer time to bat, so any dip in form means you could have a chance to get it back quickly. I certainly think thats the case on these flat pitches where theres not a lot in the surface, Smith said in his SA20 column. Abhishek plays a lot more square than most batters, certainly over the off-side. But there's a lack of fear in the youngsters these days; there are so many across the board who are pinging it from the word go, he added. While backing Sharma for the Orange Cap, Smith also welcomed Klaasens return to top form after a relatively underwhelming outing in the latest edition of the SA20, where he managed only 138 runs for Durban's Super Giants. Klaasen, who became the first batter to cross 1000 runs in SA20 history during Season 3, has rediscovered his explosive touch in the IPL. The South African wicketkeeper-batter has struck 36 fours and 23 sixes this season and has been one of Hyderabads most reliable performers in the middle order. I was a little bit worried about Heinrich Klaasen's recent form over the last year and a half, but he's played well and he's also in the hunt. I think in the early phase of the tournament, some of his knocks were key. He showed maturity in the way that he's played, and thats sometimes more difficult than just going out and smashing it, Smith said. Smith also praised Donovan Ferreira for making the most of his opportunities with Rajasthan Royals this season after spending previous campaigns largely on the fringes. Ferreira has emerged as one of the most destructive finishers in the competition, particularly in the death overs. The hard-hitting batter shares the lead for most sixes struck between overs 16 and 20 this season with Tim David, while Klaasen sits just behind them. Smith also praised Donovan Ferreira for making the most of his opportunities with Rajasthan Royals this season after spending previous campaigns largely on the fringes. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I was happy to see Donovan Ferreira get them (the Royals) over the line recently. It's important to have more players in good form coming into this phase of the tournament, because that top-four slot is never as easy as you think, Smith said. Article Source: IANS
