Why did FSSAI ban Old Monk variants, Antiquity Blue, and Royal Challenge? Government explains

The Centre on Tuesday clarified that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)’s recent enforcement action against certain alcoholic beverage manufacturers was aimed at curbing the use of flavouring substances that mimic standardised alcoholic beverages and misleading age-related claims on product labels. In a statement, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) said the action was initiated after investigations found that some manufacturers were producing alcoholic beverages using spirit or extra-neutral alcohol and adding external flavours to recreate the aroma and taste of standard products such as rum and whisky.

How Ravi Bishnoi resolved his no ball issue: Sunil Joshi explains

Ravi Bishnoi did not need a major technical correction. He needed a small adjustment.

The issue was not his bowling action, India’s bowling coach Sunil Joshi explained, but his alignment during the run up. “He hasn’t changed anything in his action. He has re-aligned it in the run-up,” Joshi said ahead of the second T20I against Zimbabwe on Friday. The adjustment has shown initial results. Bishnoi, who did not play the rest of the series after the Manchester T20I, returned to bowling with greater control in Zimbabwe, claiming 1/24 in the first T20I on Thursday.
