Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott has urged the visitors not to let the negative talk in the newspapers affect them during the upcoming Ashes series. The 85-year-old said that England will need to “steel themselves” from the words written in the Australian press, admitting that some of it could be downright “nasty”. “The West Australian” newspaper had called Ben Stokes “Cocky Captain Complainer” after he reached the country, a fortnight before the first Ashes Test at Perth on November 21. “Then there are the Australian newspapers, who have already started having digs at Stokes. If you think our journalists offer criticism, then you ain’t seen nothing until you go on an England tour of Australia.” Story continues below this ad “It is mainly negative coverage, some of it downright nasty, and it will continue throughout the tour. They treat individuals and the team as fair game and if they can beat you down so that their country demolishes you, then they believe they have done a good job. Steel yourselves, get ready for it, and …

In a tense final of the men’s compound archery at the national ranking tournament, the two contestants, one a veteran and the other 13 years his junior but the top-ranked in the country, found a light moment. The scores were tied at 58-58 in the third round when the announcer praised 22-year-old Priyansh’s body language. The 35-year-old Abhishek Verma took the opportunity to pull Priyansh’s leg before they resumed taking aim at the target. Abhishek won the final with 148 points, but Priyansh (146), ranked 6th in the world, kept snapping at the veteran’s heels till the last round. When asked about the banter between the two during the final, Priyansh said, “Abhishek bhaiya was joking with me today when the commentator was talking about my body language. When I was selected to the senior team last year, the likes of Abhishek bhaiya guided me.” Priyansh, despite losing the final, is emerging from the shadows. 2024 was a breakout year for him as he won a total of four medals in the World Cups, two …

India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 triumph saw the team click as a unit, with different sets of players pitching in at different points in time. A complete performance was witnessed in Dubai as Rohit Sharma became only the second Indian captain to win multiple ICC titles.

Virender Sehwag, former India opener, went ga-ga over Rohit’s captaincy, highlighting how what a servant he has been for the national team despite being underrated.

Ravi Shastri Hits Bulls Eye As He Explains What Made R Ashwin Stand Out From The Rest

Published by Webster

As fans all across India come to terms with Ravichandran Ashwin‘s retirement, the team’s former head coach Ravi Shastri has paid a beautiful tribute to the spinner. Shastri, who worked with Ashwin in close quarters, lauded the veteran spinner’s willingness to keep up with the time and reinvent himself as per the requirements of the game. Ashwin stopped being a traditional off-spinner long ago, moulding himself into different shapes depending upon the format he played, the surface he bowled on, or the opponent he came up against. With Ashwin no longer a part of international cricket, Shastri feels what made the Tamil Nadu-born spinner stand out was the effort he put in to keep reinventing himself. “I think what stands out for me was his wanting to evolve all the time. He wasn’t the kind of guy satisfied as to where he started,” Shastri told ICC Review. “He wanted new tricks to be learned. He pursued it, practiced hard at it, and continued to look for new things as his career progressed, to …
