Jofra Archer not guaranteed a return in 2nd Test vs India, England reveal workload plan after Nasser's sharp caution
Jofra Archer's much-anticipated return to Test cricket has gained momentum with England men's managing director Rob Key confirming that the pacer is likely to feature in at least one of the next two Tests against India. Archer, who hasn't played a red-ball international since February 2021 due to a series of elbow and back injuries, has been included in England's squad for the second Test at Edgbaston, beginning July 2. Jofra Archer during a warm-up session in the 2025 Indian Premier League (REUTERS) Speaking to Sky Sports News, Key said, "I would imagine [that he will play at least one of the next two Tests]. As I stand here now that's where it's heading, but who knows? He could bowl the first ball of the [Edgbaston] Test. All options are available." Archer recently returned to first-class cricket, taking 1/32 in 18 overs for Sussex against Durham. That outing marked the completion of a long and gruelling rehabilitation phase. "It was a question of could he hit his straps and could he get up to a decent pace, which we felt he did. Jofra is such a talent and was straight on the money," said Key. "You need a lot of different things to be a world-class bowler and he has all of them - pace, release point, skill, accuracy." However, not everyone is convinced about the timing of Archer's inclusion. Former England captain Nasser Hussain cautioned that it would be a "gamble" to play Archer in the second Test so soon after his return. 'I think it's too much of a risk this week, but it may have gone so well – I don't know Jofra Archer's body – it may have gone so well that they say 'we'll play you this week'. Then the problem is who do you leave out?' Hussain added, 'He's only just made his first-class comeback for Sussex for four years this week where he bowled 18 overs. When Archer's fully fit he is one of the best in the world. He is absolutely box office, he has that raw pace. But unfortunately for him he hasn't been fully fit for a very long time. So it is a gamble.' Similar to Bumrah situation The dilemma surrounding Archer mirrors India's situation with Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled 44 overs in the first Test at Headingley and is likely to be rested for the Edgbaston game. Like Archer, Bumrah returned to action after an injury layoff, too. Key also spoke about England's approach to workload management, stating, "We have to be careful with all of our bowlers but if you didn't want bowlers to get injured you would never play them. It's about getting your bowlers out there as much as possible so they can impact games of cricket." If Archer is not selected for Edgbaston, he might feature in the final stages of Sussex's upcoming County Championship fixture against Warwickshire. "There is a chance he could play in the Championship if we think that is the best thing or it might be that if he doesn't play at Edgbaston having him around is the best thing," said Key.

A.I. director Steven Spielberg opposed to using AI in front of the camera
Spielberg open to AI for budgeting, planning tasks The director's films have yet to use AI technology 'I don't want AI making creative decisions,' director says LOS ANGELES, June 27 (Reuters) - When Steven Spielberg directed the film "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," the technology was the stuff of science fiction -- a device to tell a story about the ethics of creating sentient machines. Now, AI is a concrete reality in Hollywood - one where Spielberg said he has drawn a line in the sand. "I don't want AI making any creative decisions that I can't make myself," said Spielberg, in an interview with Reuters. "And I don't want to use AI as a non-human collaborator, in trying to work out my creative thinking." Spielberg spoke on Thursday after a ceremony dedicating the Steven Spielberg Theater on the Universal Studios lot. The event acknowledged the director's decades-long relationship with the studio, which released such films as "Jaws," "Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List" and "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial." The acclaimed director joked that his career at Universal began in 1967, when he took a tour of the lot as a high school student. He said he hid in the bathroom during a break, and waited for the tour to move on without him, "then I had the entire lot to myself that day." "Our hope and dream is that it's not just the place that is founded on his extraordinary legacy," said Donna Langley, chairman of NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios. "But it is the place of future hopes and dreams of filmmakers and storytellers who are going to take this company into the next 100 years and the 100 years after that, people who come with a hope and a dream, people who have been inspired by Steven." Spielberg's 2001 modest box office hit "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" was a meditation on love, loss and what it means to be human through the eyes of a discarded humanoid robot. In the Pinocchio-like journey set in a futuristic dystopia, David, the android boy, yearns to be human, searching for love, in a world of machines and artificial intelligence. The film hit screens when AI was still in its nascent stages and predated the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT by 21 years. SPIELBERG AGAINST AI MAKING CREATIVE DECISIONS "It wasn't about artificial intelligence as much as it was about sentient existence, and can you love a sentient entity? Can a mother love a robot child?" said Spielberg. "It was not really where AI is taking us today. Eventually, there will be a convergence between AI and robotics." Spielberg said AI can be a great tool "if used responsibly and morally" to help find a cure for cancer and other diseases. "I just draw a line -- and it's not a line of cement, it's just a little bit of line in the sand -- which gives me some wiggle room to say (that) I have the option to revise this thinking in the future," he said. "But right now, I don't want AI making any creative decisions." He said he has seen, first-hand, how technology can replace human talent while working on the 1993 film, "Jurassic Park." Spielberg initially planned to use renowned stop-motion clay animation artist Phil Tippett to create the dinosaurs roaming the island theme park. Visual effects artist Dennis Muren proposed an alternative method, using Industrial Light & Magic's computer-generated imagery to create realistic dinosaurs. The director is an executive producer in "Jurassic World: Rebirth" which reaches theaters on July 2. "That kind of made certain careers somewhat extinct," said Spielberg. "So, I'm very sensitive to things that AI may do to take work away from people." Spielberg said he has yet to use AI on any of his films so far, though he is open to possible applications of it behind-the-scenes, in functions like budgeting or planning. "I don't want to use it in front of the camera right now," Spielberg said. "Not quite yet." (Reporting by Dawn Chmielewski; Editing by Kenneth Li, William Maclean) Comcast Corp

Wimbledon's draw puts Alcaraz against Fognini in the first round. Coco Gauff faces Yastremska
LONDON: Carlos Alcaraz will begin his bid for a third consecutive Wimbledon championship and put his career-best 18-match winning streak on the line by facing the volatile Fabio Fognini in the first round at Centre Court when the tournament begins Monday. The singles brackets for the grass-court Grand Slam tournament were set in Friday's draw, including potential men's quarterfinals of No. 1 Jannik Sinner against No. 7 Lorenzo Musetti, No. 4 Jack Draper against No. 6 Novak Djokovic — who has won seven of his 24 major trophies at the All England Club — No. 2 Alcaraz against No. 8 Holger Rune, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev against No. 5 Taylor Fritz. The possible women's quarterfinals are No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 6 Madison Keys, and No. 4 Jasmine Paolini vs. No. 5 Zheng Qinwen in the top half, and No. 2 Coco Gauff vs. No. 8 Iga Swiatek or 2022 champion Elena Rybakina, and No. 3 Jessica Pegula vs. No. 7 Mirra Andreeva in the bottom half. In addition to Sinner, Djokovic, Draper and 2024 semifinalist Musetti, the top half has No. 10 Ben Shelton and No. 13 Tommy Paul of the United States, along with Alexander Bublik, an unpredictable and underarm-serving player from Kazakhstan. He reached his first major quarterfinal at the French Open by defeating Draper — his potential third-round opponent next week — and then won a grass-court title at Halle, Germany, for the second time, beating Sinner along the way. Alcaraz and Sinner could only meet at Wimbledon in the July 13 final, which would be rematch of their epic showdown for the French Open title won by the 22-year-old Alcaraz for his fifth major trophy. In Fognini, Alcaraz faces a 38-year-old veteran who has been ranked as high as No. 9 and was a French Open quarterfinalist in 2011 but is currently No. 130 and never has been past the third round in 14 previous appearances at Wimbledon.
