‘Play in IPL but retire from Tests and ODIs after honest self-reflection’: Moeen Ali’s advice to aging cricketers

Indian cricket is currently sweating over two retirements in particular: MS Dhoni’s from the IPL, and more importantly, Rohit Sharma’s from international cricket.

Marsh on 14-ball-14 start: Panicked, but “small ground, fast outfield gave time to catch up”

Mitchell Marsh crawled through much of the powerplay, unable to find the fluency that has marked his resurgent post pandemic. At one stage, he dug himself into a dot-ball hole and could muster 15 runs off just 15 balls. But with a six off Harshit Rana, the 16th ball he faced, he unshackled himself and launched an onslaught the audience would recall for a long time. Off the next 33 balls, he shellacked 66 runs. He admitted that he did panic. “It (14 off 14) was an absolute panic situation for me. I was just trying to get a read on the wicket. It’s a small ground with a fast outfield so there’s always time to catch up,” he explained to the host broadcasters during the innings breaks. Aiden Markram’s blitz (47 off 28) from the other end afforded him some wriggle room. Often the South African ...

A Mughal favourite, a Kashmiri heirloom: Inside the intricate world of Kashmir’s Kani shawls

For art lovers, the region is equally famed for its soft and luxurious Pashmina shawls—gifts from a place often referred to as the “Paradise on Earth”. But amid the din and noise of these popular tourist favourites, the lesser-known Kani embroidery, an exquisite textile tradition, ends up losing its much-deserved spotlight.Once sought after by European aristocrats in the 19th century, Kani shawls were prized for their intricate craftsmanship and use of pure pashmina yarn. Today, they enjoy the protection of a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, granted in 2008, helping preserve their authenticity against rising imitations. Dr Adity Saxena, dean of the Scho...
