AIFF leaves Indian striker call to clubs, clears OCI confusion

AIFF leaves Indian striker call to clubs, clears OCI confusion

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) said on Wednesday it will not force clubs in the Indian Super League (ISL) and Indian Football League (IFL) to keep an Indian striker on the field for the entire match, reversing what it stated after its June 20 Special General Body Meeting. “We are leaving it to the clubs,” said AIFF general secretary M Satyanarayan in a press conference where the AIFF announced an agreement to hand over the ISL’s commercial rights to the 14 clubs that play in the league. “The stronger the league, the better the Indian team. The clubs are also aware that one of our Achilles’ heels has been the lack of a good striker. Hopefully, they will help in that.” “But this is not something we can implement. We cannot tell (the clubs) to play a No. 9 because, ultimately, it is for the coach (to decide). Every match, the coach’s tactics may differ; in some, (the striker) may remain for the entire match, in some they won’t. So it is very difficult …

The madcap Welcome franchise returns with its third instalment, spoiling the audience for choices at a time when a patriotic period drama, a rom-com, and a horror flick are all running in the theatres simultaneously.

‘Still in the dark’: Confusion shrouds TMC rebels’ merger with NCPI

Confusion shrouded the proposed merger between rebel Trinamool Congress MPs and the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), with some leaders of the little-known party saying on Tuesday that they were yet to receive any communication from the lawmakers, even as the dissidents named a new president of the Howrah-based outfit. Rebel TMC MPs with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla at his residence, in New Delhi (ANI) TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, who is leading the rebel faction, told the media that Jyotiprakash Chatterjee is the new president of NCPI. Speaking to HT, however, NCPI leaders said that they were still in the dark about the merger negotiations and Chatterjee being appointed the new president. “Let us first settle down with the bloc that we are trying to merge with another party. Acceptance has already come to us. They are happy to take us. We will work together with the NDA under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah. They are looking into the affairs of this merger and …

Zee5’s FIFA World Cup pack sparks device-limit confusion as users report temporary change

Zee5’s FIFA World Cup pack sparks device-limit confusion as users report temporary change

Zee5 faced criticism from football fans on social media after users reported that the platform’s ₹799 FIFA World Cup 2026 subscription pack briefly displayed support for only one device instead of the previously advertised three-device access. The issue triggered confusion among subscribers who had purchased the tournament package expecting to share access with family members or friends. Several users posted screenshots on X, alleging that the plan details changed after they had already completed their purchases. Some subscribers claimed the ₹799 three-month World Cup pack initially showed support for three devices before later being updated to a single-device limit. The reported change prompted complaints and accusations of misleading communication, with users demanding clarification from the streaming platform. However, the situation appears to have been temporary. Within a few hours, the plan details were restored to show three-device access again, leading many users to speculate that the change may have been the result of a technical glitch rather than a deliberate policy revision. Social media reaction fuels debate The confusion emerged as football fans across India …

‘Caused confusion in Murshidabad’: Congress’ Adhir Chowdhury writes to Bengal CM over animal slaughter notice

‘Caused confusion in Murshidabad’: Congress’ Adhir Chowdhury writes to Bengal CM over animal slaughter notice

Senior Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury on Sunday sought the intervention of West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari over the state government’s public notice on animal slaughter guidelines, as it has caused “confusion and unrest”, particularly among the minority community in Murshidabad district. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury addresses a press conference. (PTI) Chowdhury, in a letter to Adhikari, said the public notice issued by the state government on May 13 regarding adherence to “Animal Slaughter Guidelines” has caused confusion and unrest in Murshidabad, where the minority community constitutes the majority of the population. Suggesting a practical resolution, Chowdhury asked the chief minister to direct the Murshidabad district administration to identify and demarcate specific locations where people could practise customs associated with their religious faith. “Such identified and demarcated locations would be used solely for customary practises associated with the religious grouping. This approach will be an ideal solution for putting to rest the unease the notice may be causing,” he wrote. The May 13 notice reiterates that no slaughter of bulls, bullocks, cows, calves or male and …

Quick Comment: Badminton’s disregard for tradition continues, new 15-point game scoring system is more confusion than reform | Badminton News

4 min readUpdated: Apr 25, 2026 10:05 PM IST Badminton continues to be callous with tradition, and keeps changing its scoring system – the 15×3 is the fourth such flip in the last 50 years. Some might say it’s far too much a stickler for tradition – 15×3 was used at its inception in 1873. On Saturday, the format was voted back overwhelmingly by a margin of 198-43, keeping in mind broadcast considerations and players’ health. The 21×3 will go out screaming and shouting, albeit after having prevailed through the golden generation of women’s singles, GOATs in men’s singles and the era of immense popularity for men’s doubles. 21×3 will also plead innocent to charges of causing injury an misery to shuttlers, and point the finger at badminton’s hectic schedule of mandatory tournaments for top players. At any rate, this itch to keep changing a scoring format is a sign of confusion, more than any evolved, coherent thinking. Because its many iterations have not brought out any significant changes to popularity, prize money or professionalism …
