‘Quite unfortunate': King Charles III to Shubman Gill on Mohammed Siraj's dismissal in Lord's Test
The Indian men's and women's cricket teams were hosted by United Kingdom's King Charles III in the gardens of Clarence House on Tuesday. Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami and Deputy High Commissioner Sujit Ghosh along with Congress Rajya Sabha MP and BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla and secretary Devajit Saikia were also present. The players said later that the King asked about their respective sporting assignments. The women's team led by Harmanpreet Kaur recorded their first-ever T20I series win in England, beating the hosts 3-2 in five matches, and are set to embark on a five-match ODI series. The men's team led by Shubman Gill are currently locked in a thrilling five-match Test series in England, which they trail 2-1 after an epic third Test at Lord's ended on Monday. The special cricket event was hosted by the British Asian Trust, a charity founded by King Charles III to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice in South Asia. 'It was amazing. I think he (King Charles) is very kind and generous… we had some really good conversations,' Gill is quoted as saying by PTI after the audience. Gill said that the King spoke about the freakish manner in which Mohammed Siraj was dismissed on Day 5 of the Lord's Test, with the ball dribbling back to the stumps despite coming off almost the middle of the bat. The wicket ended India's resistance, with their last three wickets batting out more than 50 overs and bringing them within 22 runs of victory. 'He (The King) did tell us that the way our last batsman got out was quite unfortunate, the ball rolling on to the stumps. And he was just asking us, 'how did you feel after that?' And we told him it was an unfortunate match for us… but hopefully, we'll have better luck in both the next games,' said Gill. Harmanpreet said that it was nice to experience this for the first time. 'It was a really nice experience. We have come to England so many times but this was the first opportunity to meet the King. He was very friendly and asked us about how our travel here was,' said Kaur. 'It's been a very humbling experience, coming here to the Royal House and meeting the King. It was the first time. We came all the way from Southampton but it was really worth it. And the girls were really excited about the visit and we are pleased that we are here,' said women's team Head Coach Amol Muzumdar.

Create Account The annual five-day census of swans belonging to King Charles III — known as Swan Upping — began Monday on the River Thames to assess their health. One of the British monarch's less-known titles is Seigneur of the Swans — Lord of the Swans — and according to ancient lore, he or she owns all members of the mute swan species found in Britain's open waters. Every year, a team of carefully selected oarsmen — Swan Uppers — are tasked with finding the swans on a stretch of the Thames. When a family is spotted, they shout, 'All up!' and the boats quickly surround the birds, marking them and checking for signs of disease or injury. 'It gives us an indication of what's going on throughout the country,' said David Barber, who wears a scarlet jacket and a white swan feather in his cap and bears the title of King's Swan Marker. 'It's a tradition, but I think it's serving a very useful purpose as well.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Photo by Thomas Krych / AP Barber has been leading the event for more than 30 years. He is accompanied by a vet and oarsmen dressed in three colors: red for the king, white for the Worshipful Company of Vintners and blue stripes for the Worshipful Company of Dyers. The last two are medieval London trade guilds that were granted ownership of some Thames swans in the 15th century. The census tradition dates to the 12th century, when swans were considered an important food for royal banquets and feasts. While swans are now legally protected from hunting, they face threats from disease, pollution, vandalism and cruelty, Barber said. Their numbers have declined over the last two years, primarily due to outbreaks of avian flu across Britain, he said, adding that only 86 young swans were found during last year's Swan Upping, which was 45% fewer than the year before that. But Barber appeared positive at the end of the event's first day, with a total of 16 young swans recorded. The census continues until Friday, traveling from Sunbury, on the outskirts of London, to Abingdon, 80 miles (130 kilometers) upstream. Toronto & GTA Columnists NFL Uncategorized Editorial Cartoons
