Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 11 (ANI): International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Sanjog Gupta was present at the '50 Days to Go' event for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, where he said that the growth of Women's cricket is a reflection of the country's progress. Speaking at an event in Mumbai to mark '50 Days to Go' for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said, 'There is a larger picture here, which has to do with what this means for the country. The growth of women's cricket, in many ways, is a reflection of the country's progress."'In every sense, the growth of women's cricket over the last eight years has brought us to this moment where it is time for the game to take its next leap. This World Cup can be the springboard for that next leap. World Cups are more than just events; they are apertures for building trans-generational legacies and fostering new cultures," he added. India legends Mithali Raj and Yuvraj Singh, along with Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, came together in Mumbai for the '50 days to go' event for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025.

Pakistan Lost Rs 4.1 Billion After Airspace Ban On Indian Flights: Report
Islamabad: Pakistan's airport body suffered a loss of Rs 4.1 billion in over two months due to the closure of airspace for Indian airlines, according to official data. Pakistan and India closed their respective airspaces for each other's airlines following the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack in Kashmir on April 22, which killed 26 people, mostly tourists. The airspace ban was extended after ties between the two countries deteriorated due to the four-day conflict as India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and destroyed terror infrastructure in territories controlled by Pakistan. The Ministry of Defence informed the National Assembly on Friday that the closure of airspace to Indian-registered aircraft has cost the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) a loss of Rs 4.1 billion, reported the Dawn newspaper. The ministry said the shortfall, from April 24 to June 30, was in overflying revenue. It added that the amounts reflected "revenue shortfalls, not overall financial losses" and noted that overflight and aeronautical charges remained unchanged. Pakistan's airspace is open to all except Indian airlines and aircraft. Similarly, Pakistani carriers remain banned from Indian airspace.
