After 3.5-Year Ban, Brendan Taylor Makes 'Record-Breaking' Comeback To International Cricket
Last Updated: The ICC banned 39-year-old Brendan Taylor in January 2022 after he admitted to accepting $15,000 from Indian businessmen who approached him to fix international matches in 2019 Brendan Taylor made a historic return to international cricket on Thursday, following a three-and-a-half-year ban, as Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to bat first in the second and final Test against New Zealand. Taylor's comeback saw him breaking numerous long-standing records. Initially debuting in a Test match against Sri Lanka in Harare in 2004, Taylor has now set the record for the longest Test career among active cricketers since the 21st century. In his 35th Test match, Taylor surpassed England's renowned fast bowler James Anderson in terms of career longevity among all cricketers who began their careers in this century. Only India's legendary Sachin Tendulkar, with a Test career spanning 24 years and 1 day over 200 matches since 1989, boasts a longer career. The International Cricket Council (ICC) banned the 39-year-old Taylor in January 2022 after he accepted four charges related to an incident in 2019 under the Anti-Corruption Code. Taylor had confessed to accepting $15,000 from Indian businessmen who had asked him to fix international matches. Although Taylor claimed he never fixed any games, he was found guilty of a doping violation due to a positive test for the stimulant benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine. New Zealand leads the series 1-0 after defeating Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the first Test at the same venue last week. Zimbabwe made two changes, replacing opener Ben Curran with fast bowler Trevor Gwandu, and fast bowler Newman Nyamhuri also joining the team. New Zealand faced challenges with fast bowlers Nathan Smith and Will O'Rourke ruled out due to injuries sustained in the first Test, and Michael Bracewell leaving to play in The Hundred in England. Consequently, New Zealand handed Test debuts to fast bowlers Jacob Duffy, Matthew Fisher, and Zachary Faulks. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

UP: 2 criminals wanted in murder of journalist killed in encounter
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Sitapur (UP), Aug 7 (PTI) Two brothers wanted in the murder of a journalist, among other crimes, were killed in an encounter with a joint team of the Special Task Force (STF) and the local police here on Thursday, officials said. However, the late journalist's wife slammed the encounter and called for a CBI probe into the matter. 'We are dissatisfied with today's encounter and the police work. Everything revealed by the police was fabricated; we have never been satisfied with it," she said. Police received intelligence inputs suggesting the two criminals, wanted in the murder case of journalist Raghvendra Bajpai, were planning to cross the Hardoi-Sitapur border, Superintendent of Police (SP) Ankur Agarwal said in a statement. Acting on the tip-off, a joint team of the STF and the Sitapur Police launched combing operations in the Pisawan Police Station area and spotted the two accused, Raju Tiwari alias Rizwan Khan and Sanjay Tiwari alias Aqueel Khan, on a motorcycle, the officer noted. When asked to stop, the duo allegedly opened fire at the police team. In retaliatory firing, the two were killed, Additional Director General (Law and Order) Amitabh Yash said. Earlier, a reward of Rs 1 lakh each had been announced for their arrests. Bajpai (36), a resident of Vikasnagar in the Maholi area, was shot dead on March 8 near the Hempur railway overbridge on the Lucknow-Delhi National Highway while he was heading to Sitapur on a motorcycle. Listing the history of the criminals, the police said that Raju killed Sub-Inspector Parvez Ali in Lakhimpur in 2006 and looted his service pistol. Sanjay killed a woman in Sitapur in 2011. Expressing her dissatisfaction over the encounter, Bajpai's wife Rashmi Bajpai said, 'We have been demanding a CBI inquiry from the beginning, but it has not taken place because it would have revealed the identities of those involved in my husband's murder. We received no information about the encounter that occurred today. This is how justice is served." Rashmi asserted that she will go to Delhi to demand a CBI inquiry into the matter.
