Published by Webster

4 min readUpdated: Jun 8, 2026 07:39 PM IST With his six-wicket haul in Afghanistan’s first innings, debutant Manav Suthar impressed all and sundry in the Mullanpur Test. India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, who has spent time with Suthar at India A in recent years, lauded the left-arm spinner’s effort and said he knew that the 23-year-old would play for India one day. “He (Manav Suthar) bowled really well. Suthar is a very bright prospect and it was a great opportunity for him. He has been performing well at different levels in the last 3-4 years,” Kotak said at the press conference after India’s record innings win. “The way he bowled for India A, anybody would say he is very talented and consistent. Since I have seen him for a long time, I knew he would play for India.” Suthar’s figures of 6 for 33 were the third best by any Indian bowler in an innings on debut. Meanwhile, India’s victory by an innings and 300 runs on Monday surpassed their previous mark of winning …

Messi trains alone as prospect of facing Ronaldo in WC for first time looms

3 min readJun 4, 2026 04:46 PM IST The defending champions Argentina have set their preparations rolling for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Kansas. Since arriving in the United States of America, holders Argentina had their first practice session on Wednesday, but curiously their star player Lionel Messi didn’t train with the rest of the team. Instead, he trained alone in Missouri. Messi, who has been playing top-flight football in the US with Inter Miami, has been dealing with muscle fatigue in his left hamstring since the last week of May. However, the indications are that he is expected to be fit for Argentina’s opener against Algeria on June 16 at Kansas City. The 38-year-old Messi joined Argentina at their training base and worked on “specific exercises” along with several teammates who are also dealing with fitness concerns, their football association said. “The players who are suffering from ⁠⁠niggles and injuries continue ⁠⁠to work with the physiotherapy team on specific exercises on the pitch and are making good progress,” Argentina’s Football ⁠⁠Association said.

Congress decision to go solo wont impact Left Front’s prospect in WB Assembly polls: Md Salim

CPI(M) leader Md Salim. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Congress party’s decision to go solo in the upcoming Assembly polls in West Bengal, will not have any impact on the electoral prospects of Left Front, Communist Party of India ( Marxist) State Secretary Md. Salim said on Friday (February 6, 2026). The CPI(M) leader said that there was never any formal alliance with the Congress party but only a seat sharing arrangement. Mr. Salim added that after the 2021 Assembly elections there has been no joint programme between the Congress and the CPI(M). He added that the new State president of Congress Subhankar Sarkar has not taken any position against the Trinamool Congress, which made the party’s stance clear. The Congress party on Thursday (February 5, 2026) announced that it will contest independently in all the 294 Assembly constituencies in West Bengal, ending speculation of any electoral understanding with the Left Front in the polls due in next few months. The decision by Congress came after a meeting, where party president Mallikarjun Kharge, …

White Sox acquire right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston for prospect Gage Ziehl

White Sox acquire right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston for prospect Gage Ziehl

Published by Parlour News

BOSTON — The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Jordan Hicks from Boston along with some of the cash to pay him from the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Chicago also will receive pitching prospect David Sandlin and two players to be named in the deal that will send right-handed prospect Gage Ziehl and a player to the Red Sox. Sandlin was ranked by Baseball America as the No. 7 prospect and No. 2 pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization. Boston had been searching for hitting this offseason — even before losing third baseman Alex Bregman as a free agent — but instead signed lefty Ranger Suárez as a free agent and picked up righty Sonny Gray in a trade with the Cardinals. The moves left them with a potential pitching glut — along with a potential luxury tax bill — and the opportunity to move some arms for hitters. The White Sox traded center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets last month, and Chicago general manager Chris Getz said they would …

‘I don’t know’: Lionel Messi on prospect of playing 2026 World Cup | Football News

Published by Webster

Lionel Messi in a recent interview with journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that he did not know if he would be playing the 2026 World Cup slated to take place in the United States in 2 years but presently he wanted to finish this ongoing year well with his Inter Miami outfit in the MLS. “I don’t know (if I will play in the 2026 World Cup), they ask me a lot, especially in Argentina. I hope to finish this year well, and start the year having a good preseason, which I didn’t have last year due to all the trips we had,” he said. “From there, I will see how I am doing and feeling. We are close, but at the same time it’s a lot of time and anything can happen in football. I don’t think, simply living the day to day without thinking beyond,” he added. A few weeks ago, the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner had said he has not put a timeline on his international future as he enjoys contributing for …

A worrying prospect for the Congress in Kerala

Published by Parlour News

Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu As the BJP has made intense efforts to gain a foothold in Kerala’s bipolar political landscape, the Opposition Congress has faced a daunting task this time. The Lok Sabha election results will probably help the party leadership better understand and navigate the challenge. A week ago, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran, who had temporarily handed over charge to senior leader M.M. Hassan following his candidature from the Kannur Lok Sabha constituency, assumed his role once again after fighting aggressively for it. Mr. Sudhakaran probably sensed that the Congress central leadership may replace him if the party does not perform well. But even if the party does well, his reinstatement is not guaranteed, considering the reshuffles within the party after every other election. Also read: High Court verdict absolving Sudhakaran of conspiracy comes at a politically opportune moment for the KPCC president  Two senior Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary (organisation) K.C.

India Better Prospect For Investors Than Japan Or China, Reveals Survey

Published by Webster

Indian equities attracted $25 billion in net inflows for the year through March. India’s ability to turn its economic expansion into corporate profits makes it a better prospect for investors than Japan or China, according to the latest Bloomberg Markets Live Pulse survey. The powerful rallies in Indian and Japanese equities as China’s market has slumped have reset Asia’s financial market landscape, providing global investors with three competing poles for regional allocations.  Even with China’s attractively low stock valuations, and Japan’s progress in improving corporate governance, almost half of 390 MLIV Pulse survey respondents selected India as the best investment among the three Asian giants. The survey is a vote of confidence in India Inc. as the world’s largest democracy is headed to general elections carried out over seven phases from April 19 until June 1. We asked: Which has the most compelling investment case over the next 12 months? “There are many reasons to prefer expensive India equities over cheap China ones such as better transmission of GDP growth into earnings growth,” said Kieran …

‘World’s shortest retirement’: Pat Cummins responds to prospect of Neil Wagner returning for 2nd NZ vs AUS Test | Cricket News

Published by Webster

On Sunday Australia thrashed New Zealand by 172 runs in Wellington to take the lead in two-match series. In addition to the loss, another concerning factor has been the fitness of young fast bowler Will O’Rourke who walked off the field due to holding his hamstring on Saturday. When Australian skipper Pat Cummins on the prospect of Neil Wagner returning in place of O’Rourke for the second Test he would laugh and say “World’s shortest retirement.” The Kiwi left-arm seamer announced his retirement earlier in the week. “I mean, why not? If he’s your next best bowler that you think is going to perform, then go for it. I’ve faced him before.” Cummins recalls. “It’d be good to see. He’s high energy. It’s been good fun chatting to him each morning out here, so see how he goes.” New Zealand skipper Tim Southee speaking about Wagner after the game would say, “He’s had great reception here over the last week,” he said. “Got a couple of moments on the field, and he’s been a fan …
