New Zealand’s rising all-rounder Muhammad Abbas: Born in Pakistan, grew up watching Akram, living his Black Caps dream | Cricket News

So early that there are no memories, no images of Pakistan left in his mind from that first journey to New Zealand. Yet both countries continue to shape who he is — one through blood, the other through upbringing, and cricket through identity. “We came to Auckland with him when I was maybe one,” Abbas told The Indian Express. “I actually don’t have a lot of memory or any recollection of that because I was too young. But I’ve grown up most of my life in New Zealand.” That sentence carries a quiet duality. Born in Lahore, raised in New Zealand, and now wearing the Black Caps cap in ODIs, the 22-year-old’s journey has been shaped as much by geography as by emotion. But long before selection calls or international caps, there was one constant in his cricketing life — his father. “Definitely my dad,” he says without hesitation. “He’s a bowling coach, and I’ve done all my training with him growing up. He introduced cricket to me, coached me, and we did everything together. …

Reliance Industries Ltd. has capped fuel purchases across its retail outlets — limiting customers to about $11 worth of gasoline or diesel — as the Middle East crisis continues to choke off supplies despite a tentative ceasefire. A petrol pump attendant picks up a nozzle to refuel a vehicle at an Indian Oil fuel station (AFP) The country’s largest private-sector oil refiner is restricting individual purchases to 1,000 rupees ($10.8) per visit at fuel stations it operates with partner BP Plc, according to people familiar with the matter. The joint venture has more than 2,000 fuel pumps across the country. While the company has issued no formal directive, operators of Jio-BP pumps have begun enforcing the caps to curb panic buying and prevent its stations from running dry as demand surges, the people said, asking not to be named because the information isn’t public.

Govt caps ATF hike to prevent surge in domestic airfares, shields flyers

Govt caps ATF hike to prevent surge in domestic airfares, shields flyers

Published by Webster

The government on Wednesday said that domestic airfares are unlikely to see a sharp rise as it has cushioned the impact of a steep surge in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices by allowing only a partial increase for domestic airlines.  According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), ATF prices in India deregulated since 2001 are revised monthly based on international benchmarks. Given the current geopolitical situation, ATF prices for domestic markets were expected to rise by more than 100 per cent from April 1. However, in a bid to shield domestic air travel costs from a steep spike, public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs), in consultation with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, have implemented only a partial and staggered increase. Domestic airlines will face a limited hike of around 25 per cent, translating to approximately Rs 15 per litre, instead of the full pass-through of global price increases, the government said. In contrast, airlines operating on international routes will bear the full increase in ATF prices, in line with global market-linked pricing. …

Airfare caps on domestic tickets to be lifted on March 23: MoCA sources

Airfare caps on domestic tickets to be lifted on March 23: MoCA sources

Published by Webster

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) will lift temporary caps on domestic airfares from March 23, following the stabilisation of flight operations and restoration of capacity, sources told the ANI. The move will mark a return to market-driven pricing across India’s domestic aviation sector. The restrictions were introduced in December 2025 after widespread flight cancellations by IndiGo led to a sharp drop in capacity. This resulted in a surge in ticket prices on major domestic routes, prompting concerns over affordability. Sources indicated that the lifting of these restrictions will return pricing to a market-driven model. While removing the caps, the Ministry cautioned airlines to maintain reasonable, transparent pricing and warned of potential regulatory intervention if unjustified surges occur. Return to market-based pricing With operations now stabilised, the government has decided to withdraw the caps and allow airlines to determine fares based on demand and supply, according to the ANI. However, airlines have been advised to maintain reasonable and transparent pricing practices. The Ministry cautioned that any unjustified increase in ticket prices could invite regulatory intervention. …

Amid pain for airlines from West Asia war, Govt to remove domestic airfare caps imposed during IndiGo’s December meltdown | Business News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiMar 22, 2026 12:14 AM IST The government has decided to remove temporary airfare caps for domestic flights that were imposed in December during IndiGo’s widespread flight disruptions. The airfare caps removal, effective from March 23 (Monday), comes at a time when Indian airlines are grappling with operational disruptions and cost escalations due to the raging war in West Asia. Airline grouping Federation of Indian Airlines had urged the government to remove the fare caps in view of the stress being faced by Indian carriers as a consequence of the West Asia conflict, it is learnt. The conflict has led to a surge in jet fuel prices, further weakened the rupee against the dollar, and significantly hit Indian airlines’ operations to West Asia and beyond. With airfares skyrocketing due to the widespread disruption in IndiGo’s flight operations in early December, the government has stepped in to regulate non-business class airfares for all airlines by prescribing fare caps between Rs 7,500 and Rs 18,000 per seat depending on the distance flown on domestic …

Image for representational purposes only. | Photo Credit: Reuters The Centre has withdrawn air fare caps that were introduced in December to curb spike in ticket prices after IndiGo’s widespread flight cancellations. The Ministry of Civil Aviation said in an order dated March 21, “The prevailing situation has since stabilised, with restoration of capacity and normalisation of operations across the sector, upon review, it has been decided that the fare cap imposed vide the aforesaid letter shall stand withdrawn with effect from 23rd March, 2026.” The decision comes at a time airlines are hit hard by the conflict in West Asia leading to increase in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices as well as flight cancellations and re-routings that burn more fuel and are costlier. The Ministry, however, said that airlines must ensure pricing discipline. “Airlines shall ensure that fares remain reasonable, transparent and commensurate with market conditions, and that passenger interests are not adversely impacted.” It also warned of regulatory action, including reintroduction of fare caps if there was an unjustified surge in fares.

The Indian government has withdrawn the temporary cap on domestic airfares imposed in the aftermath of the December 2025 flight disruption crisis involving IndiGo, marking a return to market-driven pricing at a time when jet fuel prices are increasing due to the West Asia war. Govt lifts curbs on ticket prices, flags action if fares spike again (ANI) Operations in terms of staffing, a key issue in December, have also stabilised across the aviation sector. It was learnt on Saturday that, in an order dated March 20, the Ministry of Civil Aviation said the fare cap, introduced on December 6, 2025, was aimed at containing an “abnormal surge” in ticket prices and safeguarding passenger interests during a period of constrained capacity.

Following a review, it said, the fare cap will stand withdrawn with effect from March 23, 2026.

5 min readChennaiFeb 10, 2026 08:56 PM IST A few months after he turned 15, Alishan Sharafu faced a big decision: whether to attend the U-16 trials in his home state of Kerala or stay in Dubai with his family. Just then, he was included in the UAE’s U-19 squad. Eventually, he chose the pragmatic option of staying in his country of residence. “My family is here, I don’t need to shift, and I can attend school without much interruption,” he told this newspaper during the Asia Cup. Besides, the process in India was lengthy. “It’s a long process there—you have to pass through district, state, and zone,” he added. A decade later, he doesn’t rue the road not taken. Three years after turning out for the junior side, he transitioned to the senior team and became a regular fixture with his daring batting. The 23-year-old acquainted the Black Caps with his carefree spirit. He glided down the pitch to Matt Henry, one of the most fearsome fast bowlers around. The good-length ball clocked 90mph …
