"This was very difficult": Former West Indies T20I captain Nicholas Pooran retires from international cricket at 29
New Delhi [India], June 10 (ANI): Former West Indies T20I captain Nicholas Pooran surprised the world on Tuesday by announcing his retirement from international cricket at the age of 29. The 29-year-old, who recently dazzled in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Lucknow Super Giants with explosive performances, described retiring from the international circuit as 'difficult'. 'To the cricket public, after much thought and reflection, I've decided to announce my retirement from international cricket. This game we love has given and will continue to give so much - joy, purpose, unforgettable memories, and a chance to represent the people of the West Indies.' Pooran's decision comes days after he requested Cricket West Indies not to consider him for their ongoing white-ball tour of England. With over eight months left before the T20 World Cup 2026 kicks off in India and Sri Lanka, Pooran's decision serves as a massive setback for the 2016 winners. Since bursting onto the international scene in 2016, Pooran featured in 106 T20Is and 61 ODIs, garnering more than 4,258 runs across both formats. He mustered up 2,275 in the shortest format of cricket, averaging 26.14 at 136.39. While in the 50-over cricket, he tallied 1,983 runs at 39.66 while maintaining a strike rate of 99.15, laced with three centuries and 11 fifties. 'To the fans - thank you for your unwavering love. You lifted me in the tough moments and celebrated the good ones with unmatched passion. To my family, friends, and teammates - thank you for walking this journey with me. Your belief and support carried me through it all,' he said. Pooran had his last dance with the Men in Maroon during their encounter against Bangladesh at Kingstown. Bangladesh ousted the Caribbean giants with a comprehensive 80-run victory. 'Though this international chapter of my career closes, my love for West Indies Cricket will never fade. I wish the team and the region nothing but success and strength for the road ahead. With all my heart, Nicky P,' he concluded. (ANI)

Made a scapegoat: Suspended Bengaluru cop alleges in plea to tribunal
Suspended Bengaluru Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash has alleged that he is being 'made a scapegoat' in the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede case and termed the Karnataka government's suspension order against him 'arbitrary' and 'premature'.In a petition filed before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), accessed by India Today, Vikash contends that the disciplinary action was taken without an enquiry or an opportunity to be officer, in his petition, said that the government order itself was 'eloquently silent' on how the tragedy can be attributed to him, while noting that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) were responsible for impulsively inviting crowds without tickets or passes. 'It begs belief as to how the applicant herein can be made a scapegoat when the government order itself highlights that the entire issue arose due to the callous and impulsive invitation of the RCB and KSCA,' the petition stated. 'That any event of the scale as the celebrations envisaged requires planning and the very minimum time to plan.'Vikash is among the several senior police officials suspended by the Karnataka government after the deadly stampede outside Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4 in which 11 died and over 50 others were plea also pointed out that there was barely 12 hours between RCB lifting the IPL trophy and the celebrations, leaving no time for the police to make adequate questioned how he could be blamed when there was 'hardly 12 hours time' for planning such a large-scale public further argues that the June 5 suspension order was issued without considering alternative disciplinary steps, such as a transfer or departmental inquiry, and before the government-ordered magisterial probe could conclude. The petition describes the action as a 'knee-jerk reaction to public pressure', stating that the order is a 'cyclostyled and mechanical' decision lacking independent evaluation of the officer's role.'The applicant has an unblemished service record,' the petition claims, adding that the move has caused 'irreparable harm' to his career and reputation. It also cites past instances where officers were not suspended despite similar tragedies, arguing that the present action is discriminatory and legally unsustainable. IN THIS STORY#Bengaluru

Watch: Rishabh Pant Breaks Stadium's Roof With Gigantic Six In Practice Session
Rishabh Pant is regaining form ahead of the Test series against England, hitting a massive six in practice. He's been named vice-captain and showcased his skills alongside teammates like Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah in training sessions. India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant, whose bat remained silent for most of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign, seems to be back in his groove. Facing Washington Sundar in the nets ahead of the start of the Test assignment against England, Pant smashed a huge six that went on the roof of the stadium, doing some damage too. The southpaw, who also hit a century in the inconsequential final match of the IPL 2025 season for LSG, has also been promoted to the role of Test vice-captain. Rishabh Pant breaking the roof with his six. — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) June 9, 2025 As for the training sessions, a video of players was posted on the Instagram handle of the Indian cricket team with several players, including skipper Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Ravindra Jadeja seen in action. The coaching staff, including head coach Gautam Gambhir, were also seen talking to players, guiding them as they sweat it out in nets. Gill and Pant were among the players who did some batting practice, while Siraj and Bumrah were seen throwing down balls. The team also took part in some fielding drills led by fielding coach T Dilip. As per a video from ESPNCricinfo on Instagram, a massive part of this practice session was a one-on-one battle between Bumrah and skipper Gill. Bumrah looked at his unplayable best against Gill, who had no choice to either struggle or to just leave the ball altogether. Another attractive sight during the session was Pant tonking a massive six on a Washington Sundar delivery, which broke a part of the roof of the facility at Beckenham, as per an ESPNCricinfo video on Instagram. The series will be held from June to August 2025, with matches scheduled at Headingley in Leeds, Edgbaston in Birmingham, Lord's and The Oval in London, and Old Trafford in Manchester.
