'Don't know why Hardik Pandya was removed': India's World Cup-winning star stunned by all-rounder's demotion in Asia Cup
The Ajit Agarkar-led BCCI selection committee announced India's Asia Cup 2025 squad on Tuesday, and it has raised some eyebrows. The roster includes Shubman Gill, who has been appointed as vice-captain in a team that will be skippered by Suryakumar Yadav. Some notable absentees include Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer. Hardik Pandya in action during the 2024 T20 World Cup.(Getty Images via AFP) Former India cricketer Madan Lal weighed in on the squad announcement recently and was especially left surprised by Jaiswal's exclusion. The former selector also questioned the committee's decision on Hardik Pandya. The all-rounder has been included in the squad but has been removed from the vice-captaincy role. But Pandya was also removed from the role already, and it isn't a new development. The last time he was vice-captain was at the 2024 World Cup. 'I don't know why Hardik Pandya has been removed': Madan Lal Speaking to ANI, the 1983 World Cup winner said, 'Sometimes you feel surprised that a player like Yashasvi Jaiswal is not in the team...I don't know why Hardik Pandya has been removed.' 'But Gill is a good choice as he is performing well. In the coming time, it is possible that Gill will play in all three players who make the team win a match must not be left out. ..We have such a good team that we may win the Asia Cup,' he added. Jaiswal has been included in the standby list, along with Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel. The 2025 Asia Cup is scheduled to be held in the UAE, from September 9-28, and India are also the defending champions. The Indian squad also includes Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, who have formed a dominant opening pair in T20Is over the course of the last eight to ten months. But there are question marks over Samson's role as an opener for the tournament due to the inclusion of Gill, who is now expected to open for India.

NHL analyst explains hurdles delaying Lane Hutson's long-term extension with Canadiens
Lane Hutson, the Canadiens' rising star, is in contract extension talks (Getty Images) Lane Hutson's next deal was always going to be a headline. After a rookie year with six goals and 60 assists for 66 points—ranking ninth leaguewide in assists—and a playoff cameo that featured five helpers in five games (three on the power play) while averaging about 25 minutes a night, the 21-year-old has vaulted from blue-chip prospect to cornerstone. He's under a three-year entry-level contract through 2025–26, but the Canadiens have already opened dialogue on a long-term extension. Market reset and agent leverage are reshaping early expectations in Montreal On 'The Shaun Starr Show,' analyst Marco D'Amico framed the holdup succinctly: 'Relations are very good. Conversations are continuously ongoing. There is outside factors that are making the situation or delaying the situation more so than previous years.' Chief among them, D'Amico noted, is the leaguewide pricing ripple from the cap bump. 'The salary cap increase has created basically a reset of the market… after speaking to a lot of agents, it is absolutely real and on a lot of these people's minds when it comes to agents across the league,' he said. These TWO Players Can IMPACT The Habs Future | Montreal Canadiens Term versus timing becomes the key variable for a 21-year-old star Beyond dollars, term is strategic. D'Amico contrasted Hutson's leverage with RFAs such as Noah Dobson and K'Andre Miller—players closer to arbitration rights and offer-sheet danger. For a 21-year-old, the calendar matters. 'If you sign eight years now you're basically going till 30,' D'Amico said. 'But if you sign for five years, well, then you're 26.' A shorter bridge-into-payday path could maximize Hutson's prime earnings, while Montreal may prefer to buy UFA years and stabilize its blue line cost structure. What Elliotte Friedman's comp means for the Habs' internal cap ladder Contract comparables are drifting upward. On '32 Thoughts,' Elliotte Friedman cautioned that keeping Hutson under Nick Suzuki's $7.875 million AAV ceiling may be unrealistic: 'Lane Hutson, I'm sure initially the Canadiens wanted him to be under Suzuki; if Hutson's gonna sign for term, it's probably gonna be up closer to Dobson.' Also Read: NHL Trade Rumors: Oilers target Bruins' ex-first-round pick Fabian Lysell as Boston weighs future of young winger With Dobson cited alongside an eight-year, $76 million benchmark, the Canadiens face a classic contender's puzzle: reward a rising star without warping the hierarchy.

Bills owner Terry Pegula sparks outrage buying $100M superyacht after $2.1B taxpayer-funded stadium approval
Terry Pegula under fire after $100M yacht reveal while public helps fund $2.1B Bills stadium (Getty Images) Bills Mafia has long been hailed as one of the NFL's most passionate fanbases, known for their loyalty and deep knowledge of the game. But that passion can quickly turn into scrutiny when things don't sit right. Recently, a TikTok video showing Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula's $100 million superyacht docked in Newport, Rhode Island, ignited frustration among fans—especially given that taxpayers are covering $850 million of the team's new $2.1 billion stadium. Bills owner under fire for luxury yacht amid taxpayer burden At the heart of the backlash is the imbalance between Pegula's personal wealth and the public's financial contribution. Worth an estimated $7 billion from his natural gas and fracking fortune, Pegula also owns the NHL's Buffalo Sabres. Yet, despite his staggering net worth, New York State taxpayers have been saddled with $600 million and Erie County with another $250 million toward the stadium project. To make matters worse, the stadium's price tag has already ballooned by $560 million over its initial estimate. Fans, while grateful for a state-of-the-art venue with features like a 'heated roof,' question why the burden falls so heavily on the public when Pegula clearly has the resources to contribute more. The optics of a billionaire's gleaming yacht—reportedly named Top Five II for his five children—floating in one of America's wealthiest harbors has only intensified the conversation. Stadium politics and fan frustration The issue extends beyond Buffalo. Many New Yorkers are questioning why their tax dollars are funding a project that largely benefits Bills fans, especially when Giants and Jets fans—who technically play in New Jersey—aren't footing the same bill. Even Governor Kathy Hochul acknowledged the challenges in passing the legislation, saying earlier this year, 'While we think it was easy here in Western New York, getting it through the New York State Legislature, which has a lot of people from parts of the state that are not Buffalo, it was hard. But we got it done.' For Bills fans, who pride themselves on being blue-collar and fiercely loyal, Pegula's yacht is more than just a luxury—it's a symbol of the widening gap between billionaire owners and the communities that prop up their franchises. Sure, the stadium will protect against the Buffalo winds and offer that 'heated roof,' but at what cost to taxpayers who expected a fairer deal?
