Following disruption in commercial air travel due to the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran, three teams - England, South Africa and West Indies - are yet to depart India. A report by news agency PTI said the three sides are set to depart over the weekend on chartered flights arranged by the ICC. A source told PTI that England, who went down to India in the second semifinal on Thursday, are expected to leave from Mumbai on Saturday evening on a direct flight to London. West Indies and South Africa are the other two teams still in the country despite their campaigns having ended. While the Windies were knocked out of the T20 World Cup after India defeated them by five wickets at the Eden Gardens on Sunday, South Africa's campaign ended after their defeat to New Zealand here in the first semifinal on Wednesday. Both South Africa and West Indies will travel together from Kolkata on another charter flight. The two sides are likely to fly first to Johannesburg before t...

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concern regarding batter Abhishek Sharma 's recent form following India's T20 World Cup semi-final against England. Abhishek made just nine runs off seven balls before losing his wicket to Will Jacks in the second over. This latest performance extended a difficult run for the 25-year-old left-hander, who has managed scores of 0, 0, 0, 15, 55, 10, and 9 - a total of 89 runs at an average of 12.71. Speaking on his YouTube channel, "Ash Ki Baat," Ashwin said that while he doesn't want Abhishek to be dropped for the final, he wants the team management to instill sense into him on how to play according to the situation. "Abhishek Sharma has that factor. In the series against New Zealand, he was in top form. He has batted well against Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry in the past. So I wouldn't be too fussed about Abhishek. But I would like to have a conversation with him. I would tell him, 'Listen...

US President Donald Trump on Friday demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender" as the only acceptable outcome to end hostilities, while promising to help rebuild the country's economy if Tehran complied and installed new leadership. "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. The post came as Israel bombarded regime targets in Tehran and Hezbollah positions in Beirut, and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said US strikes against Iran were "about to surge dramatically." Trump said that following any capitulation by the Islamic Republic, the United States and its allies would work to bring Iran "back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before." This would be contingent on the installation of what he called "a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s)." He closed with a new slogan — "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)...

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir did not hesitate to make another bold prediction about India's T20 World Cup campaign, despite seeing his earlier semi-final calls fall flat. Amir, who had backed West Indies to beat India in the Super 8 match, has now given England the upper hand against Suryakumar Yadav 's men in the semi-final on Thursday. Sharing his analysis of India's performances so far, Amir feels the team has not been able to deliver as a unit. Hence, he believes England are likely to get the better of them in the semi-final. The two teams will face off at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, a venue expected to produce a high-scoring contest. Amir feels England will have a greater chance of winning if they bat second. "It's a match on a good wicket. Like Rashid Bhai said, if England bat second, there will be more chances. Because it's a high-scoring game in Mumbai," the former Pakistan pacer said on the Haarna Mana Hai show. Mohammad Amir said,...

A United States submarine sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean on Wednesday. The incident occurred off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, far from the Persian Gulf where much of the current conflict has been concentrated. Sri Lankan authorities confirmed that their navy rescued 32 Iranian sailors from the sinking vessel . However, officials say that as many as 148 crew members remain missing, with hopes of finding additional survivors fading as search operations continue.

Sanju Samson is the toast of India after taking the side into the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a superlative 97* against West Indies on Sunday. From Sunil Gavaskar to Ravi Shastri , every Indian cricket expert applauded the maturity shown by Samson in leading a challenging 196-run chase against the two-time former champions. After not making it to the playing XI in most of the group-stage matches, Samson made full use of the opportunity on offer. Not just in India, Samson has found admirers in Pakistan too. "You could see a bit of Virat Kohli in his batting - how he picks runs off different bowlers - and he's got power too," former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel. "Sanju was given a clear plan, and even during the powerplay, he was the one scoring the most. The way Sanju batted, I was making a lot of mental notes thinking, 'Man, this guy's a chase master.' We usually say that about Virat Kohli, but today, Kohli wasn't ev...

Arab nations that were initially reluctant to join the American-backed military campaign against Iran are now pushing to take an active role, and it was Iran's "surprising" actions. That is according to United States President Donald Trump, who told CNN on Monday that several Arab countries came under fire from Tehran and changed their position. "We were surprised. We told them, 'We've got this,' and now they want to fight. And they're aggressively fighting. They were going to be very little involved, and now they insist on being involved," Trump told CNN. Joint American and Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend triggered a wide-ranging response from Tehran. Iran launched missiles and armed drones towards Tel Aviv and towards US military installations across the Middle East. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed on the day 1 of those strikes. Exclusive: Will Iran Get To Pick Its Leader After Khamenei? What Israeli ...

India wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson 's journey up to the match-winning 97 against West Indies has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Despite being India's first-choice T20I opener for more than a year, Samson found himself out of India's playing XI at the start of the tournament after Ishan Kishan 's impressive form. However, now Samson has grabbed his second chance with both hands. Following his incredible knock against West Indies, a pep talk given to him by former India captain Rohit Sharma went viral on social media. Rohit had been present at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai ahead of India's opening game of the tournament against the United States of America (USA). However, Samson did not feature in India's playing XI. This was when Rohit walked up to Samson to offer him support. " Kaisa hai? Dukhi mat ho bhai. It is a long tournament, kabhi bhi mauka aa sakta hai ("How are you? Don't be disheartened. It is a long tournament. The op...

The United Arab Emirates has announced that the circulation of "unverified information about wars, security or national safety" will be punishable with a jail term and/or a steep fine. Under the country's cybercrime law, the possible penalties will include detention or in more serious cases, a jail term of several years. The fine could be between AED 100,000 to 1000,000.  It is illegal, UAE said, to spread "false news, rumours or misleading information". Sharing content that causes panic or public confusion is also a strict no-no, UAE said.  The warning comes in the wake of US and Israeli air strikes on Iran that started on Saturday.

All the targets house air-bases with US assets.  Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed that all the targets have been struck "by powerful blows of Iranian missiles". "This operation will continue r...
