Mohsin Naqvi staring at a loss of 40 billion with his stubborn stand; ICC’s steps can break PCB’s backbone: Report

Mohsin Naqvi staring at a loss of 40 billion with his stubborn stand; ICC’s steps can break PCB’s backbone: Report

Pakistan Cricket Board could be staring at a major financial squeeze if the International Cricket Council decides to penalise it for refusing to play India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, with the potential hit linked directly to the board’s ICC revenue stream, reported by PTI. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi (AFP) The concern centres on how heavily PCB’s financial planning depends on ICC distributions across the ongoing cycle. If deductions are imposed — whether as penalties or compensation tied to commercial damage — the impact would not be cosmetic. The India–Pakistan match is treated as the single biggest broadcast driver in global cricket, and rights holders structure advertising and revenue projections around it. A no-show, therefore, is seen as a threat to the wider event economics, with the consequences potentially flowing into the same revenue pool from which member boards are paid. Recent spending only sharpens the risk. PCB has been involved in significant stadium upgrade work across key venues, and it is noted that the return from hosting-related income has not been …

TMC MLA threatens to break election official’s backbone over voter list

A Trinamool Congress (TMC) legislator has sparked controversy after allegedly threatening to break the backbone of a senior Election Commission (EC) official. The threat reportedly came if any genuine voter is removed from the electoral rolls during the ongoing Special Summary Revision (SIR) exercise, PTI reported. A video of the speech has gone viral on social media, but PTI could not independently verify its authenticity. In the viral video, Farakka MLA Manirul Islam can be seen addressing a rally and allegedly warning the EC not to test the patience of the TMC. He said that if the poll panel wants to “play with fire”, the TMC can do the same. He added that he would not remain silent if the EC “plays with the lives of common people”. The remarks came days after a violent protest during an SIR hearing in Farakka, where a group of people allegedly damaged the Block Development Office (BDO) office.

Uike’s death has broken backbone of Maoist activities in Odisha: DGP

Bhubaneswar, Ganesh Uike, 69, a battle-hardened Maoist leader, finally fell to the bullets of security personnel in Kandhamal district on Thursday, less than a year after taking charge of Odisha operations, officials said. Uike’s death has broken backbone of Maoist activities in Odisha: DGP Uike, a central committee member of the outfit carrying a bounty of ₹1.1 crore, was shot dead in a dense forest within Chakapad police station limits, bordering Ganjam district in Rambha forest range. A senior officer associated with the operation said Uike, despite being accompanied by three of his associates, was caught off guard. The biting cold in Kandhamal, with temperatures falling below three degrees Celsius in the jungle, likely aided security forces in neutralising the group, the officer said. Uike took charge of Odisha operations in December 2024 after previously heading the Karnataka-Kerala-Tamil Nadu south regional bureau. He was promoted to the central committee in 2020 and had worked across Chhattisgarh up to November 2024, officials said. Known by various names including Pakka Hanumantu, Rajesh Tiwari, Chamru, and Rupa, Uike …
