Why is Vaibhav Sooryavanshi required to use separate changing room in England tour?

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Jun 24, 2026 05:34 PM IST The 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recently earned a maiden call-up to the Indian national team, will reportedly be required to use his own changing room during India’s tour of England. A report by The Guardian states that Sooryavanshi will be mandated to have separate facilities for safeguarding reasons, as the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) procedures will be in force throughout the series. The hype surrounding the prodigy from Bihar is real, as he could make history by becoming India’s youngest international cricketer on Friday, should he earn his debut cap in the T20I against Ireland in Belfast. India will play two T20Is against Ireland before a five-match T20 series against England, which begins in Durham next Wednesday. The record for India’s youngest international cricketer is held by the great Sachin Tendulkar, who made his Test debut at the age of 16 years and 205 days in 1989. According to The Guardian, both the ICC and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) prohibit under-16s from using …

Curacao’s Eloy Room, goalkeeper without a club, just broke a World Cup record

Curacao’s Eloy Room, goalkeeper without a club, just broke a World Cup record

Published by Webster

In the dying minutes of a World Cup qualifier against Jamaica, with Curaçao 90 minutes from their first-ever World Cup, the referee pointed to the spot. Eloy Room turned to him and said: “It doesn’t matter if you give the penalty. I’ll save it anyway.” The referee looked at him like he was crazy. VAR overturned it. He didn’t need to find out if he was right. That is the kind of man who stood in the Kansas City goal on Saturday night and made 15 saves against Ecuador. The most by any goalkeeper in a World Cup match in regulation since saves became an official statistic in 1966. More than Ramon Quiroga’s 13 for Peru in 1978. Equal to Tim Howard’s total against Belgium in 2014, though Howard needed extra time to get there. Room did it in 90 minutes, representing a nation of 150,000 people whose stadium capacity he had just filled twice over. Ecuador had 28 shots. Curaçao won a point. Their first ever. Lesley Room is from Curaçao and has been …

Room’s display also marked the second-highest ever saves in a World Cup appearance by a goalkeeper in the record books.

From a doctor’s room in Madurai to NCAA champion: the Selva Prabhu story

From a doctor’s room in Madurai to NCAA champion: the Selva Prabhu story

Published by Parlour News

Thirumaran did not know what to do with his son. The boy would not stop running. He was everywhere, always moving, always restless. So the farmer from Madurai took Selva Prabhu to a doctor. “He was very hyperactive. When the doctor asked what he wanted to do, he stunned everyone by saying that he wanted to win a medal for the country,” Thirumaran told The Indian Express from Madurai. “We never told him anything about sport. His elder brother used to play football but the answer was quite amusing to me. That is when I decided to take him to the nearest stadium.” On Friday in Eugene, Oregon, that child jumped 16.92m to win the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships triple jump title, becoming only the fourth Indian to win an NCAA championship. It was not straightforward. He struggled to find the board on four of his six attempts. But his second jump, 16.92m, held up against a 24-man field for the full competition. He is the first Kansas State men’s outdoor triple jump …

Why Messi’s room number has Argentina dreaming of fourth star and his hamstring has them worried

4 min readJun 2, 2026 12:23 PM IST Lionel Messi’s room at the Origin Hotel is 202. Add those digits and you get four. Argentine fans on social media noticed within hours of his arrival Sunday night, and the maths has been doing the rounds since. It traces back to Doha, where Messi’s room at Qatar University was 201 – digits that sum to three, the same number of World Cups Argentina had won when they left. Nobody in the camp is confirming they care about this. The country very much does. The arrival itself was watched closely. Dozens of Argentinians had gathered at the airport before Messi and Rodrigo De Paul came in on a private jet from Miami late Sunday, the last two to complete the delegation. A van had them at the hotel in under five minutes – the Origin, a riverside property on the Kansas River in the heart of the city, taken over entirely for the squad’s stay. AFA president Chiqui Tapia was already there waiting, having flown in earlier …

4 min readMay 19, 2026 12:10 AM IST It felt like a return to the work-from-home era during the coronavirus pandemic. When French grandmaster Alireza Firouzja rolled over his ankle after his third round game at the Super Chess Classic 2026 tournament in Bucharest, organisers of the Grand Chess Tour knew they would have to get creative if they wanted to ensure his continued participation in the remaining rounds of the classical tournament in the Romanian capital. So, they came up with a never-before-heard solution: Alireza was asked to play from a bed in a hotel room with his opponent sitting across a physical board and an arbiter designated in the room to keep a mindful eye on them. The organisers were unable to set up cameras in the room on time, which meant that only the board’s live transmission was available but visuals of Alireza facing Javokhir Sindarov in the room were not seen. Despite being in crippling pain, Alireza managed to hold the Uzbekistan grandmaster to a draw on a day when all …

Dwayne Bravo enters RCB dressing room with a heartfelt request after Virat Kohli reminds of the inevitable

Published by Parlour News

What a pleasure it was to hear Virat Kohli talk last night. It’s a privilege fans rarely get these days given his limited appearances on the cricket field. The captaincy days, when hearing him speak at least twice during a match was a given, are long gone. These days, it feels more like a luxury than a regularity. A breath of fresh air, truly. As he opened his heart about being in love with batting, love with the game, he also casually reminded everyone that he does not have long left before his career winds up. Kohli will, in all probability, retire from all formats for India after next year’s World Cup and, at best, continue for a couple more years with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dwayne Bravo hugs Virat Kohli inside RCB dressing room (Screengrab) The clock is ticking fast. Savour every bit of him. It may be a long while before another athlete comes even close to matching his aura. Forget the fans, even cricketers who have …
