https://ift.tt/k5ZdVDR A Class 12 student in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly attacked his teacher with a sharp weapon on January 26, severing both her lips, according to police. The victim's brother stated in his complaint that the student had been consistently harassing the teacher, who worked at a private school on Agra Road. Despite a previous complaint made to the student's mother during a parent-teacher meeting and subsequent assurances that the behaviour would stop, the harassment persisted. Distressed by the student's conduct, the teacher eventually resigned and moved to a different school. However, the accused allegedly tracked her to her new workplace and continued to stalk her daily. On January 26, the student intercepted the teacher on her way to work and attacked her with a sharp weapon, cutting off both of her lips before fleeing the scene. "A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by the teacher's brother," said Kotwali Stat...

https://ift.tt/g6htQxa England Test captain Ben Stokes has sustained a serious facial injury after being struck by a ball during a training session. Stokes posted a picture on Instagram of his injured face and wrote: "You should see the state of the cricket ball." The photo showed that his right eye was heavily swollen. There was a graze on his cheek and lip, while a bandage was stuffed in his nose. The 34-year-old recently led England during their 4-1 loss to Australia in the Ashes. Stokes and former England player Moeen Ali are set to join another former cricketer, Andrew Flintoff , on the England Lions coaching setup for a white-ball series against Pakistan Shaheens in Abu Dhabi in February-March. Stokes is recovering from the groin injury he suffered while bowling in the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney earlier this month. Moeen Ali, who also reversed his retirement from English domestic cricket to join Yorkshire for the T20 Blast, will join the England Lions coaching se...

https://ift.tt/GNzgQ1M Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin expressed his disappointment after the West Indies failed to bring back Nicholas Pooran and Sunil Narine from retirement for the T20 World Cup 2026, starting on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka. Narine retired from international cricket in 2023 while Pooran quit in 2025. Both players are active in franchise T20 leagues. "I am very disappointed that the West Indies did not pick Nicholas Pooran and Sunil Narine in their squad for this World Cup. You need to sit across the table from them, talk to them, and bring them to the World Cup. How can you leave Nicholas Pooran and Sunil Narine out and go into a World Cup without them?" Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. Ashwin added that he is a big fan of the West Indies cricket team and believes the board needs to reassess their planning for major tournaments. "I am a big fan of the West Indies. They have a lot of ability. But the way they plan and sometim...

https://ift.tt/maD7QFt Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar has made a stunning claim amid the controversy surrounding Pakistan's decision to opt out of their upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 match against arch-rivals India. It is worth mentioning that India and Pakistan no longer take part in cricket bilaterals due to cross-border tensions. They only face off each other during international or continental events as a result. The last bilateral series between the two sides was played in 2012-13 when Pakistan had toured India for two T20Is and three ODIs, respectively. Since then, the two teams are often placed in same groups for the International Cricket Council (ICC) and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) events to ensure that the tournaments' commercial success remains intact until the very end. However, Gavaskar feels that Pakistan's decision to boycott the match against India could force the ICC to put the two teams in different groups going forward. "This could well be the tim...

https://ift.tt/dA9spWc Former Pakistan captain and cricketing legend Shahid Afridi shared quite an intriguing statement after his government confirmed a boycott of the Indian team at the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan and India are scheduled to square off in Colombo on 15 February, but Salman Ali Agha's men have been asked not to take the field by their government as a mark of protest against the International Cricket Council (ICC). The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been flirting with the idea of giving the India match a miss ever since the ICC booted Bangladesh out of the tournament. Afridi, who has time and again advocated for sports and politics to be kept separate, expressed 'regret' over Pakistan's decision to not play against India in the T20 World Cup. However, he also stood behind his government's decision while asking the ICC to resolve the matter through impartial actions. "I've always believed cricket can open doors when politics clos...

https://ift.tt/51uDSsJ India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday ignored questions regarding Pakistan's decision to boycott the high-profile T20 World Cup match against their arch-rivals. While the Pakistan government has allowed the national team to participate in the tournament, it did not give them the green light to play against India. In a viral video, Gambhir was spotted leaving for Mumbai, where he was mobbed by the paparazzi. He thanked the reporters for their well-wishes but ignored their questions on Pakistan's stance before entering the airport. #WATCH | Delhi: Indian Cricket Team Head Coach Gautam Gambhir leaves for Mumbai. pic.twitter.com/6fBlclolVO — ANI (@ANI) February 3, 2026 India and Pakistan are in Group A alongside the United States of America (USA), the Netherlands, and Namibia.
